Land swap denied BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GOOB COY| SENTINEL

Too cold Hard as it is to believe now, temperatures were 50 degrees colder when dawn broke on the Grantsburg American Legion Ice Fishing Contest on Big Wood Lake last Saturday. Pictured here, Adam (left) and Amy Hale didn’t want to leave the warmth of their fish shack – and who could blame ‘em? More photos on Page 12.

The need for speed BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

•Automotive Adventures to bring two time trials to the airport this summer. SIREN—Speed enthusiasts are in for twice the fun this summer following action at the county’s infrastructure meeting last week. That’s because the committee okayed a May 14 date and a September 17 date for Automotive Adventures to host time trials at the Burnett County Airport. The inaugural event last fall was a success paving the way for the dual events in 2016. “There were no significant issues from the event last year,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator, pointed out. “If something arises at the May event, we can address it before the September event.” For his part, Chuck Awe, committee chairman, similarly praised the organizers.

SIREN—Just as it did during January’s meeting, public sentiment ruled the day at Thursday’s natural resources meeting. But because a decision was being rendered, twice as many people as were at last month’s meeting, crowded into the meeting room to offer their perspective on the proposed land swap. At issue was the swap land-owner Jarrod Washburn proposed, giving Burnett County 80 forested acres in the Town of Sand Lake in exchange for 60 forested acres adjacent to his property in the Town of Lincoln which included a portion of the Clam River. The fact the 80 acres has better access for future timber sales was about the only positive comment to come out of the 40-minute discussion. “I believe this trade would do irreparable harm to the Clam River,” Bob Baker, speaking on behalf of the Burnett County Lakes and Rivers Association. “Show some good stewardship and deny this request.” Deb Ryun, director of the St. Croix River Association, agreed. “To take this property out of the public land is just SEE LAND, PAGE 7

The joys and challenges of Russia Grantsburg High School senior Delia LaBatt reflects on her time spent in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia. BY DELIA LABATT GHS SENIOR

GRANTSBURG—Privet! Here I am, back in the United States, saying “hello” to all of you in Russian. I also may be secretly wishing I were still there, indulging in culture and sweet Russian pancakes. My trip to Russia began on January 23. But, I suppose I should explain the “who, what, when, where, and why” of my Russian experience. Back in July-August, 2015, Audrey Lauer and I traveled to China for 2 1/2 weeks for a cultural program called Ameson Chinese Elite. During that program, I met a Russian school teacher named Marina Polovkova. Marina invited Audrey and me to Russia this winter for the second annual “Winter School Project.” SEE LABATT, PAGE 8

FEBRUARY 17, 2015

Let me spend your money

I know one has to be careful about which wind mills to tilt at but this one seems especially heinous. It’s the Brooks Act. Now, the Brooks Act only comes into play for state and or federally funded projects like roads and bridges, so its not like it affects our everyday lives, but every once in awhile that rule will come home to roost. Currently, it is impacting the pocketbooks of the folks in the Town of Roosevelt. At issue is the Bakker Road Bridge – more precisely, the fixing of the bridge. The bridge has been targeted Seems to for reconstruction for some Me time, but with so many hoops jump through, it is difficult Todd Beckmann to to imagine when the dirt work may even begin. Currently, the Burnett County Highway Department is in the consultant selection process – whereby stakeholders in the care of the bridge, primarily the township and the county, select consulting firms to design the “new” bridge. Once the design is decided, the project can be let for bid and construction will soon follow. That’s all well and good, but my problem is that the intent of this Brooks Act is that the consideration of price within the selection process is not in the public’s best interest. Huh? Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, said it more sensibly: “Price is not an issue until after the selection is made, based on qualifications.” I get the whole “get the best company for the job” point of view, especially since the feds are picking up 80 percent of the tab, but how can they say price is not an issue? When the bridge was originally tagged for reconstruction, the Town of Roosevelt and Burnett County were to fork over 10 percent of the tab to fix the bridge with the federal government to pick up the balance. An early estimate puts the number in the range of $20,000, but who knows what the final number will be? I know we shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth – after all, the alternative would be to pay the entire $200,000 ourselves, but $20,000? The latest census puts the population of Roosevelt at 199. At $20,000 to fix the bridge, that works out to roughly $100 per capita. I know I’m probably over-simplifying it, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t have $100 to put toward a bridge and I’m not sure many people would. Towns have limited budgets the way it is – adding $20,000 throws it all out of whack. That’s where the idiocy of the Brooks Act comes into play. They don’t seem to understand the lower the cost of any portion of the process, the lower the final cost. I think we can say one thing for sure: Obviously, the Brooks Act was written by a bureaucrat – it looks good on paper so it should work fine in the real world – right?

BURNETT COUNTY

Special delivery “But February made me shiver With every paper I’d deliver” — lyric, “American Pie” by Don McLean It appears that the cold snap of last week has broken, bringing more moderate temperatures into place. But boy, wasn’t it cold? It made me think From the of early mornings Publisher’s from my youth, delivering newspaDesk pers before school. I always hated Tom Stangl when the snow came and I could no longer ride my bike to deliver papers and was forced to walk the route. On days like we had last week, I would don cold weather gear and head out to make my rounds. It was a big deal to me when the snowmobile suit was invented, offering a new way to keep warm. When the weather was as cold as it was last week, I would put on my layers, get into the snowmobile suit, put a stocking cap on, raise the hood on the suit and wrap a scarf around my head. I resembled Randy from the classic Christmas movie “A Christmas Story” except for

one notable exception: I could put my arms down. By the middle of my 20-block trek, my eyelashes would freeze shut from the moisture produced from my exhaling. I would then remove my mittens and use my body heat to defrost my eyes and continue on until I was forced to repeat the de-thawing. There’s something rather disconcerting about having your eyelids freeze shut. I was really glad to get home. On Sundays when the papers were thick with sections and inserts, my late father Arved, a.k.a. “The Chief” would get up and we would use the station wagon to deliver papers. The Chief helped with deliveries and we would get things done in a hurry so we could get a few winks before we would get up for church. I had three brothers that delivered papers, so the Chief got up every Sunday morning to deliver papers for at least 25 years, keeping us moving and getting the job done. As a clueless kid, I never thanked him for his help. When I became an adult and a parent, I thanked him profusely. This February, I was delivering some papers to post offices to speed up delivery. Instead of walking, I got to drive in a nice warm van. Much better.

We continue to struggle with the deteriorating service provided by the United States Postal Service. Please know that we do all we can each and every week to ensure timely delivery of your paper. By closing some of the mail processing centers, much more volume goes through the larger centers and keeping newspapers moving isn’t always their top priority. I want to thank our delivery drivers who log many miles each week getting papers from the print plant to the post office and the locations where we sell single copies. Rain or shine, cold and snow our dedicated drivers make their rounds every week. I’m grateful for their efforts every week, but feel that special recognition is deserved when the weather is as extreme as it was last week. And yes, I realize our winter has been mild, but I believe that makes these cold snaps even more acute because we are not acclimated to the weather. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading. I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875 The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Is there a connection?

To the Editor: Two years ago, when Adam Jarchow was part of a group that tried to buy our county board elections, many of us wondered if there was any Koch Brothers money involved. The name of the local group, Operation Prosperity, sounded a lot like Americans for Prosperity, (AFP) the Koch-funded group that pushes an anti-environmental agenda across the country. We could never prove that the two groups were linked, though many of us suspected they were. We still can’t prove the link between Jarchow and the Kochs, but a recent press release from AFP-Wisconsin indicates that they’re very grateful to Jarchow for all the work he’s done rolling back Wisconsin’s environmental regulations. The press release, dated February 10, lauds the passage of Jarchow’s two-piece “property rights” package – AB 582 and AB 600, saying it protects property owners from being fined for “taking care of their own land.” Of course, AFP’s definition of taking care of land is a rather strange one, and one that is opposed by every conservation group in the state.

Thankfully, the Assembly will soon be out of session, so it won’t be able to do more damage. But, it will take years to undue the damage that’s already been done since Republicans took total control of state government. Loreen J. Clayton-Morrell St. Croix Falls

We are being ignored by our elected officials in Madison To the Editor: I know most people don’t really want to pay close attention to the “sausage-making” that goes on in Madison when it comes to passing bills into law, but this is really important. According to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau, since 2011, Assembly Republicans like Romaine Quinn, Adam Jarchow, Dean Knudson, and John Murtha have supported more than 100 pieces of legislation that are unfunded mandates or restrict local authority over local issues. Sen. Harsdorf has helped get these bad bills passed so Gov. Walker could quickly sign them into law. All because

they have to get back to their districts to smooth things over with the voters so they can be re-elected for the purpose of keeping us on this destructive path. We elect people within our district to speak for us in Madison and to work to pass laws that serve the people. With total Republican control of our Assembly and Senate, our elected officials went to Madison and got to work on the issues for special interest groups. Large corporations and organizations like ALEC, a Tea Party think tank, now suggest bills or even write the bills. Those bills get rushed through public hearings to meet legal requirements. Or, they are amended at the last minute and discussed in session in the middle of the night – all because they know if most people understood what they were doing, there is no way they’d be re-elected. Right now, the Republicans in the Assembly and Senate are working on changes in laws that will disrupt services to seniors and people with disabilities, remove shore land zoning from local authorities, and interfere with local school board elections. How does this serve the people? It does not. It only serves special interest

groups who want to bilk Wisconsin tax payers. We must pay attention and ask our elected officials: Why do you say you support local control, like zoning, and then go back to Madison and put an important local control issue like shore land zoning into the control of Madison? And, why are you arguing so vehemently to make it easier for a private company to own our public water? Is that giving us more local control? I know the answer. It’s because they are serving special interest groups, not the people who live in this state. We’ve been lied to. It is time to stand up and fight for our rights to clean air, water, and land. This is not a Democratic, Republican, or Independent issue. This is an American issue. If we want our democracy to work again We, the People, must have a voice through our representatives. Right now, we do not. We must hold our elected officials accountable, and then we must elect people who will truly represent all of us.

SPOONER–The Canoe Museum will offer a canoe paddle-making class at the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum (WCHM) Saturday and Sunday, March 19-20 in Spooner. In the two-day, all-day class, students will make a canoe paddle in a design of their own choosing, using traditional and modern tools and techniques. Leading the class is outdoor educator Tim Bates of the University of Minnesota-Duluth, who has been making canoe paddles for more than 30 years. The class will be limited to ten students, so that each will have the opportunity for a hands-on experience. All tools and materials will be provided. Students will start day one with an exploration of paddle design and materials, then move on to designing a personal paddle. From there, students will use the provided materials to glue the paddle and prepare their tools. Preparing tools will include practice sharpening planes and spoke shaves so that they will work effectively. On day two, students will shape their paddle using a variety of hand tools and power tools in the museum’s tool shop. This day is fairly physical, since most of the work will be done using hand planes. Registration and paddle materials choice must be done by March 11. For more information or to register call 715-635-2479.

Environmental education grant comes to St. Croix Valley

ST. CROIX FALLS–An Environmental Education grant of $192,200 has been awarded to the St. Croix Valley Foundation on behalf of a consortium of nonprofit organizations in the St. Croix Watershed. The EPA Office of Environmental Education made just three grants in the nation under a request for proposals looking for innovative ways to protect natural resources. A required local match brings the budget to nearly $260,000 for a two-year pilot project called “St. Croix Master Watershed Stewards,” an effort that will certify at least 36 master watershed stewards in Minnesota and Wisconsin in 2016 and 2017. “Our pilot project is based on best practices coming out of Master Gardener and Master Naturalist programs throughout the country,” said project liaison Danette Olsen, who authored the grant proposal. “During our research phase, we learned from the Penn State Master Watershed Stewards program, the Minnehaha Creek Master Water Stewards program, and the Watershed Stewards Academy of Anne Arundel County (Maryland), among many others.” The St. Croix Master Watershed Stewards (SCMWS) pilot project combines environmental education, leadership development, and community organizing in a comprehensive watershed stewardship curriculum with a capstone service-learning project. This hybrid curriculum is made even more innovative by including activities that incorporate the arts in an effort to demonstrate the power of the arts to engage the community, thereby creating even greater awareness and impact. To become a certified Master Watershed Steward, adult learners will commit to six day-long field trips (two of which are overnight expeditions) and six on-line sessions. This process will take place over the course of six to seven months and is followed by a capstone learning project that is designed in collaboration with a host site. Small grants will be available for the stewards to implement their capstone project. All fees associated with the SCMWS program are paid through the EPAEE grant.

Spooner Health Systems announces new name

SPOONER–As part of its ongoing efforts to provide high quality healthcare while growing and changing to meet the need of the community, Spooner Health System has announced a new name and logo. Spooner Health System CEO Mike Schafer said, “Considering how our organization is being transformed by our ‘Commitment to Excellence’ program, and with the upcoming move to our new facility, it is a natural and logical time to consider a name and logo change.” The streamlined new name is “Spooner Health.”

plain wrong,” she said. Washburn neighbor John Bjorklund said this type of trade should be discouraged. Diane Noe urged committee members to walk the parcel prior to making any decisions. “I don’t think this is what Burnett County should be doing,” she argued. Arne Enslin agreed. “I’ve been to county board meetings and have seen the motto ‘to provide vision and stewardship’ the board has posted on the wall,” he pointed out. “The county would not be honoring vision or stewardship if it goes ahead with this swap.” Steve Washkuhn, the chairman of the Town of Lincoln, said the town is trying to stay neutral on the swap. “We have concerns but we are not taking a stand,” he noted. “Personally, I don’t think anyone would want a fence like that at the end of their property.” Washburn had proposed a six-toeight foot chain link fence enclosing the acreage. Jake Nichols, forestry administrator, said he had told Washburn at the beginning of the process that it is anyone’s right to propose a trade. “I told him right up front the swap could be considered because there are access issues with that 60 and there are no access issues with the Sand Lake property,” he explained. “But I also told him because the river is there, it would be a tough sell.” The river turned out to be the lynch-pin to the whole decision. “I think that river property should

stay in the public trust,” Ed Peterson, committee chairman, stated. “That seems to be a higher and better use of the property.” The members all agreed. Gene Olson led the charge by offering a motion to deny the trade and “to leave things the way they are.” The rest of the committee concurred and a unanimous vote followed. In other business: • Ryan Bybee, one of the county’s four forestry/rec officers, corrected Sheriff Ron Wilhelm’s assertion the state had changed its requirements regarding reimbursement for boat, snowmobile and ATV patrol. “The number of contacts and the number of citations were not dou-

bled — just the amount of hours in each discipline were doubled,” he explained. “We now have to put in 80 hours/season on boat patrol, 40 hours/season on both ATV and snowmobile.” To assuage committee concerns, Bybee said trails have not been neglected and as the staff numbers in the sheriff’s office return to normal levels, the lakes and trails will continue to be patrolled. • The committee unanimously nominated former highway commissioner Bob Morehouse as a potential candidate for the Outdoor Recreational Vehicle (ORV) Council. “With his background in engineering, he has knowledge of trail building and knows what we are trying to do with the trails,” Nichols explained. Morehouse’s name will be submitted to the Governor’s office and Gov. Scott Walker will make the appointment later this spring. • Grantsburg’s Hanne Johnson and Isabelle Haley were first place winners in the annual 11-county Northwest Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Association Youth Conservation speaking and poster contests, respectively. The girls, both students at Grantsburg Middle School, will now advance to the state competition in March in Elkhart Lake. • The committee postponed awarding its $15,000 in tourism grant funds to Feb. 18. The committee will meet following the county board meeting to hash out the merits of the six applicants.

NEWSLINE UW Cooperative Extension reorganization

SIREN–The University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension (UWEX) has released its first draft of a reorganization plan to address a significant budget cut in the most recent State of Wisconsin Budget. The cut from state sources totals $3.6 million. The organization also receives funding from the federal government and county government. At a recent stakeholder meeting that included Burnett County Board of Supervisors and local nonprofit organizations, UWEX Northwest Regional Director Julie Keown-Bomar explained the proposal and answered questions. Supervisors shared their concerns regarding specific staffing and county level spending requests. She noted that the approach in the draft plan “implements across the state what has been happening in Burnett County for years. For more than 20 years, two agriculture agents have served Burnett, Washburn, and Sawyer counties.” More recently, the 4-H Youth Development and Family Living positions were combined. The reorganization plan takes this approach state-wide. Keown-Bomar noted that staff reductions “are close to where we need them to be” to comply with the new state rules. Over the last year, open positions have been left unfilled to begin meeting the budget reduction. She said more detailed plans will be determined by July 1.

LABATT: Adds Russia to countries visited before high school graduation CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Audrey stayed home. She was unsure of her eligibility, since she graduated from high school before the event. I was scheduled to arrive in Moscow on Jan. 24 and head to St. Petersburg on Jan. 29, finally ending my adventure on Feb. 3. After late nights of filling out the visa application, hour-long phone calls with the visa service, struggling with Google Translate to comprehend the invitation letter, and prayer after prayer to finish it all in time, my mom managed to successfully acquire a Russian visa for me. If I had to compare the Chinese visa process and the Russian visa process, China’s application would be like getting your favorite meal served to you every day for the rest of your life while receiving the best back massage ever. Russia’s application would be like dropping one of your contact lenses down the sink while traveling in the subzero temperatures of Antarctica and then locking yourself out of your heated home – half-naked – with no food. I don’t know how my mom managed to “survive” the Russian visa process, but I will be thankful for that woman and her superpowers for the rest of my life. A Russian girl who also attended the program in China, Maria (not to be confused with Marina, the teacher), met me at the airport. We’ve stayed in touch ever since we met and have become extremely close friends, so I was more than ecstatic to see her again. I’m not sure if it was the excitement of

seeing her in real life, the fact that I was exhausted, or that the Russian passport control man who checked my visa was not so kind to me, but when I finally got to wrap my arms around her, I lost it. I ran to her (crying), she ran toward me (speechless). I let go of my luggage causing it to tip over, and we hugged each other for a solid minute. It was like a basic reunion scene out of a movie, but this time it was reality for me. That night, I got to my hotel pretty late, so there wasn’t any time to go and explore Moscow. Marina met Maria and me at the hotel. I got to unpack a little and headed to the hotel restaurant for dinner. A few hours later, Egor, a Russian boy I met in China, arrived at the hotel. Once again, it was a sweet reunion among the three of us. Later in the week, Amal (another Russian I met in China), joined us. It felt surreal to be spending time with these three people whom I never thought I would see again. My first day was a free day, but Maria and Amal had school so, Egor and I explored Moscow together. We visited the big touristy sites such as Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral (“ice cream cathedral”), The Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Moscow City, Moscow State University, and The Gum Department Store. Altogether, I’m positive that I clocked in at least 25 miles in one day. The next few days my legs and knees were unbelievably sore. At this point, I was thankful that I remembered to pack my Costco-sized bottle of Ibuprofen.

Interested in Beekeeping?

Heading into Russia, I was warned by fellow Americans about the KGB and the mafia, to not draw attention to the fact that I was American because “they’re out to get us;” that Russians love their vodka; and that I should keep my valuables close to my body to prevent pickpocketing. Yes, these things were true at some point or may be somewhat true at this time, but I feel confident in saying that Americans have a slightly bent view on Russia and its people. In the time that I spent in Russia, I felt completely safe even in the sketchiest of places. I didn’t feel scared when I walked past a homeless person or a police officer. In the unfortunate event that I would have gotten lost, I felt safe with the idea of approaching a young Russian man or woman to ask for directions, hoping they’d speak English. And yes, it’s true, Russians drink vodka! But I saw 100-times less vodka drinking than I did smoking. When I walked down the street, probably 70 percent of all people I saw had a cigarette in their hands or a pack in their pocket. And, speaking of pockets, there was only one time when I was near the point of being pick-pocketed. I was leaving the Red Square in a big group of people and there was a little Russian boy with a backpack who was walking toward the mob of people. The boy squeezed his way through the pack of people, asking for the time, asking for directions, or asking anything that allowed him to catch his target off guard

and smoothly glide his hands into their pockets for the goods. Egor noticed this and pulled us out of the crowd and told me to watch my purse. I successfully made it out of Russia without getting anything stolen. It wasn’t hard at all, but maybe I just got lucky. After spending Jan. 24-29 in Moscow. I took an overnight train to St. Petersburg (SPb). Let me tell you something: If you ever travel to Russia and can only pick one destination, pick SPb. There was so much culture and history wrapped up into this one city – I wish I could have spent the majority of my trip there. The buildings were beautiful and covered with pieces of the past. The people were friendly and welcoming. Even the history was interesting, and I dislike history a lot so that’s saying something! I was fortunate enough to visit so many places in SPb, but the Hermitage and the Summer Palace were definitely on the top of my list. Funny story: at the Summer Palace, there’s a room made entirely of amber. There were signs everywhere inside the room that read, “No Photography.” I’m pretty sure it wasn’t technically illegal, because I made it back home without the KBG following me, but I definitely captured a few pictures of the room. It was absolutely stunning! How do they expect someone to not take a photo? I figured I would only be there once, so hey, might as well go for it – and here I am, safe in America.

tirely different format, we weren’t sure of how we would fare – but we are excited to see that we rank in the upper 25 percent of the Title 1 schools, and proud of our students and staff.� Beating-the-Odds schools, as Anderson pointed out, are in the top 25 percent of high-poverty schools in the state, and have above-average student achievement in reading and mathematics when compared to schools from similarly sized districts, schools, grade configurations, and poverty levels. In announcing the awards, State Superintendent Tony Evers said, “Congratulations to these schools. They are examples of the academic success we need in all of our schools to close achievement gaps. “These awards recognize the work of students and their parents along with teachers, school administrators, and school staff members to break the link between poverty and low academic achievement. “Their efforts will help us ensure that every student graduates college and career ready.� Schools meeting criteria in one or more of the three recognition areas will receive a plaque at a March 14 ceremony at the State Capitol.

BURNETT COUNTY—The three school districts in Burnett County have success in common after having a school in their district named as a Wisconsin Title I School of Recognition for the 2015-16 school year. The 169 so-named public schools all have two things in common – high levels of poverty and remarkable successes in educating their students. Included on the list as “Beatingthe-Odds� schools are Grantsburg Elementary School, Siren High School, Webster Elementary and Webster Middle School. Webster Elementary and Webster Middle School have been schools of recognition for seven and nine consecutive years, respectively. “This award is a culmination of lots of hard work, teaching talent and intervention systems to ensure all students learn well,� Joni Burgin, Grantsburg’s superintendent remarked. Grantsburg Elementary School Principal Elizabeth Olson concurred with Burgin’s remarks. “It is wonderful to see all the hard work and dedication of our

teachers at Grantsburg are being recognized by the state,� she said. According to Olson, numerous components have been in place over the last several years to improve achievement in Grantsburg. “Last year we saw the use of flexible grouping improve the academic success of students in our schools. “We piloted a blended learning initiative that allowed every student the opportunity to work on skills that would help them increase and enrich their skills in math and reading. “Our teachers spent many hours tweaking curriculum so that it was viable, clear and meaningful,� Olson added. “Our processes for identifying students who need extra support are constantly being improved and adjusted. “Ultimately it comes down to a group of teachers and staff who are tireless in their efforts to help students succeed.� Similar words can be heard from Webster. “We are very happy to have received word that we have earned the award again this year,� Webster Elementary Principal Martha Anderson exclaimed. “Since last year’s test was an en-

Cards defeat Tigers, but not without a battle BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—A 13-0 run by a team at the beginning of the second half would put most games in the book at that time. That wasn’t so for the Webster Tigers on Monday night, even though they lost to the Luck Cardinals 5848. They did give up 13 points without an answer, but they came back to make the game respectable due to the heart and never-give-up attitude with which the Tigers are being filled. The first half was definitely respectable as they carried a one point lead into the intermission.

Trevor Gustafson was the leader for the Tigers, putting in eight points, but being supported by five from Tate Fohrenkamm and four each from Paul Sargent and Jack Washburn. Webster kept the Cardinal scoring to three players, one of which was big man Noah Mortel who had eight, but came on tough drives to the basket. “Our offense is still rounding out,” said Coach Rob Scherrer of his team. “We’re trying to get the kids to realize that hard work will pay off. When downed by a 13-6 or seven run, teams are still in the game, but when it’s 13-2 or 13-0, it’s hard to make that up.” “I thought we out worked them tonight,” he added. “We try to get

a few more games behind them for experience.” “Sometimes we expect these kids to come out here and be superstars,” said Scherrer of his freshmen. “They’re on varsity and they missed their freshmen, jv games. The varsity level is so much faster and it takes time for these kids to get there. It’s just going to take some time.” With 6:23 remaining and down 47-33, the Tigers didn’t quit. They actually outscored the Cardinals 15-11 in the last few minutes. “We can’t be upset about anything right now. We just want to be sure to play well,” concluded the coach

Siren knocks off Bobcats BALSAM LAKE—The Siren Dragons fell behind 35-17 at halftime to the Unity Eagles last Monday night and suffered a 68-41 loss to the Eagles. Neil Oustigoff had 12 of the 17 points in that half and had only seven in the second half. Aaron Ruud pushed his way to the 1,000 point career mark by scoring six in the game. High scorer for the Unity Eagles

“We got off to an early 21 to 5 lead,” said head coach Jon Ruud, following his team’s 60-51 win over the Birchwood Bobcats. “This was a good team win for the Dragons as we have had to play a lot of young kids the last couple of weeks due to some injuries. Neil Oustigoff led all scorers with 21 points, while Dolan Highstrom and Aaron Ruud chipped in 12 and 14 points. Just like the Frederic game,

Pirates on right track over Rails BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SPOONER—“Things really clicked for us against Spooner,” exclaimed Pirate coach Penny Curtin following Grantsburg’s 70-32 win over the Rails. “We were able to run our offense/defense and use all of our girls a lot in this game. Jordyn McKenzie had a great night from the floor scoring 18.” Cassidy Lee and Olivia Tucker scored 11 and eight points respectively in the first half to head the Pirate charge. Grantsburg led at the intermission 3613. In the second half, McKenzie poured in 10 of her 18 points. Lee added nine and Violet Ohnstad seven. Lee was game high scorer with 20 with Tucker adding 12. Also scoring were Violet Ohnstad (nine), Rhiana Pochman (four), Britta Roufs (three) with Janessa Bonneville and Katie Curtin adding two apiece. Natasha Chastek and Kelsie Gerovac scored 12 and 11 points respectively for the Rails

we were missing two starters, but our young guys played a lot better tonight.” The Dragons held a 33-22 advantage at the half. Neil Oustigoff had 11 points with Tanner Lee and Dolan Highstrom adding eight points apiece in the first frame. Dylan Zettel was the high point man for the Bobcats in the first half with six and in the game with 18. From the free throw line, Siren was six for eight, whereas Birchwood shot 13 for 23.

Pirates take care of Warriors BY GOOB COY SENITNEL SPORTS

CLEAR LAKE—Grantsburg headed to Clear Lake on Tuesday, February 9 for a match up with the Warriors. The Pirates took care of business winning this one 57-46. “Clear Lake has a nice, young team that is talented enough to play with anyone,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “I don’t feel like we

played all that well, but have to give them some credit for that.” The Warriors were able to shut down Grantsburg’s leading scorer, Jordan Knutson, the first half holding him to just one free throw. At the break, the game was tied at 20-20. The Pirates turned it up a notch in the second half outscoring the Warriors 37-26 to walk away with the win.

John Chenal led all scorers with 21. Knutson made a living at the free throw line going eight for 10 to end his night with 13 points. Joseph Ohnstad was hot from behind the arc hitting three of them for nine points. Jackson Gerber had two long balls himself for six points. Jaeger Staeven tallied five with Austin Olson adding three points.

Lady Dragons back on track BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Siren Dragons girls basketball team got back on track Monday night with a 39-34 win over the Unity Eagles. Said Coach Ryan Karsten, “It was a very close, competitive game between two of the top three teams in the conference. After the way we played Friday night at Frederic, I was worried how we would play tonight. Our team defense was very poor Friday night but was much better tonight.” “Unity had not lost since December, so they were playing quite well. Our team renewed its focus to playing great defense. We held them to 17 points in the first half and 17 in the second. It was

MUCH better than the 60 some we gave up Friday night.” “It reminded me of the team from two years ago that won the conference and regional titles. I really thought our pressure was a factor and that had a lot to do with Laurel on the top. She played a great defensive game.” “Our rebounding was a major key too, and Sarah Shaffer, Haley Peterson, Allie Webster, and Abby Kosloski worked hard on the boards against a taller team.” “Caitlynn (Daniels) had a nice night offensively for us with 20, but that game was a team victory. If we focus like that the rest of the year, we will be fun to watch.” “We play Flambeau tonight. It is a great chance to see how we stack up against one of the best Division 5 teams in the state.”

Tigers lose to Saints BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers trailed by just six at the half, 25-19, but only scored five points in the entire second half to lose to the St. Croix Saints 54-24 on Friday night. “The team played hard and didn’t quit,” said Coach Mat Wood. “Give St. Croix credit for putting pressure on us. They are a good team,” he continued. “I wish them well in the playoffs.” Poor shooting and poor rebounding on the Tigers’ part along with turnovers contributed to the lack of points in the second half. Lydia Wilson scored 11 in the first half, but was held to one in the second half. Kaitlyn Moser scored six in the first frame and also just had one tally in the second session. The Saints went to the free throw line 23 times in the game and made 12 versus eight for 15 for Webster. “Hopefully our injuries will heal up quickly so we’ll be ready for Shell Lake and Unity,” concluded the coach. Lydia Wilson was the Tigers’ leading scorer with 12, Moser added seven, Allison Mulroy three and Tingo Mosher two. St. Croix was led by Addie McCurdy with 21.

WEBSTER—“This is the worst we’ve shot all year,” lamented the coach following a disappointing 72-61 loss at St. Croix Falls on Friday. “You have to have preparation for a shot. Their (St. Croix Falls) temp and pressure caused us to do things we weren’t used to doing. That pressure also caused mistakes and turnovers.” “Give them a lot of credit, they took advantage of their experience.” St. Croix led 29-26 at the half. The Tigers kept close all during that first half of play. They trailed 9-8 at the 13:42 mark and 21-20 at

their margin to 44-33. Then both teams played basically even through the 2:10 mark with the Saints holding a 60-50 advantage. Foul shooting was the theme during the last two minutes as Webster fouled to get possession. The Saints were 10 for 16 during that time frame and the Tigers six for six. Tate Fohrenkamm led the Tigers with 17 points. Jack Washburn added 13 and Paul Sargent 11. Alex Johnson of the Saints was high man of the game with 29 tallies. The Tigers were 20 of 22 from the charity stripe while the Saints were 22 of 32. GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL

SIREN—In girls basketball action, it was the Siren Dragons hosting the Grantsburg Pirates on Friday night with the Dragons coming away with a 6049 win. It was all Dragons in the first half of play as they outscored the Pirates 34-14. Grantsburg couldn’t buy a basket and the Dragons made sure that the Pirate squad only had one shot at the hoop. The defensive rebounding of Siren was key in running away with the first half. Leading the charge for the Dragons this half was Haley Peterson with 12 points. Next up was Caitlynn Daniels with 10. Laurel Kannenberg got her night started with seven with Ashlee Rightmann scoring the remaining five. Grantsburg was led by Olivia Tucker with seven. Cassidy Lee fired in four with Violet Ohnstad scoring the last three. Grantsburg made a run in the second half outscoring Siren 35-26, but the the hole was too deep and the Dragons held on for the win. Leading the Pirates the second half was Tucker with 15. Lee added 10 from deep. Jordyn McKenzie and Ohnstad scored three each with Janessa Bonneville and Rhiana Pochman scoring two each. “We had a terrible start to the game— we just could not get it together and we couldn’t get the ball to fall,” Pirates coach Penny Curtin said. “We played much better in the second half, out scoring Siren 3526. Siren placed a lot of pressure on Cassidy Lee who still scored 14 points. Olivia Tucker was our floor captain that night – she never gave up, she played really hard, pulled down eight offensive rebounds, showed lots of hustle, and scored 20 points.” The Dragons were led by Rightmann with 11. Peterson added seven to her night’s total to lead the team with 19 Daniels had three with Kannenberg and Allie Webster tallying two each. The win puts Siren at 9-2 in conference play, tied

Each team has one more conference game, with Siren facing Luck and Frederic taking on St. Croix Falls to see who hangs on to take the conference title. The Dragons will play Luck on Friday to end the regular season before beginning Regional playoff action on Tuesday. The No. 3 seeded Dragons will host Mellen in a 7:00 game. The Pirates will head to Clayton on Friday night to face the Bears in a 7:15 p.m. game. In playoff action, the Pirates received the No. 8 seed and will host the No. 9 seeded St. Croix Falls Saints. These two teams split during the regular season with the Saints winning 46-44 in the opening game of the season, and then the Pirates redeemed themselves to win 57-37 during the second meeting.

does. His semi-final match was a good one. He’s going to be a kid to watch in the coming years.” Adam Menke went 2-1 and was fifth. “He lost the dreaded first match and was done for the day. He is only a freshman and he has a great work ethic. He’s going to be good.” Peter Lund went 2-1 and was fifth. “He lost his first match of the day in overtime. It was a thriller for the fans, but a heart breaker for him. He was upset for a while, but was back to his ‘happy-go-lucky’ attitude by the end of the day.” Steven Holdt went 1-2 and placed fourth. “It wasn’t the ending to his wrestling career he was looking for. He is one of those kids who loves wrestling. He was dealing with an injured shoulder and tried to fight through it. I could see it was limiting him to what he could do.” Brock Phernetton was 2-2 and took third. “He had a really good day, wrestled his best all season. He knew it was a long shot to make it, but he gave himself a shot with a wrestleback for second place. It didn’t work out, but he was happy, a good motivation for next year.” Matthew Louis went 1-2 and took fourth place.”He has improved steadily throughout the season and has developed a nice ‘go-to’ take down. He had two tough kids in his bracket and didn’t wrestle well in his last match of the season. He is getting ‘sneaky good’ and could have a good year next year.” Parker Steen was 3-1 and took second. “This year, heavyweight is wide open. It is anyone’s for the taking. He pinned his way to the finals. He ran into the kid who beat him in the St. Croix Falls tournament.” “Heavyweight is the most nerve wracking weight. It’s never over until the ref blows the final whistle. “The three kids going on are excited and are going to give it their all. I hope all three wrestle well and don’t have any regrets. I hate to see a kid make a mistake and it cost them a trip to state.”

She was assisted by Jayden Denotter and Anna Erickson. “We have a long tough schedule this week and at this time in the season with injuries and illness, each game tends to have a different team show up! We will hopefully be able to battle back against Onalaska on Thursday and gain a little momentum heading into playoffs.� But the game against Onalaska ended up a 4-0 loss. Onalaska scored twice in the first period and once each in periods two and three. Goalie Mackenna Johnson turned away 43 of 47 shots on goal. The Blizzard put just 15 shots on the Onalaska goalie, Alli Christenson.

SUPERIOR—The Burnett Blizzard girls hockey team continues to apply hard work ethics but have come up on the short end of two losses this past week, 10-1 versus Superior and 4-0 against Onalaska. “We lost 10-1 but we got a goal from our leading scorer again, Mykala Anderson,� said head coach Rick Quimby after the loss to Superior. “You could tell the girls had played a hard fought game the night before cause they came out flat and we just couldn’t gain any momentum throughout the game.� Anderson got her goal in the second

Gage Premo-Blume got into the books scoring four, with Jackson Gerber, Joseph Ohnstad and Leo Chenal each adding three and Majel Schmaltz scored two. “Offensively, we did a lot of things well,� Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “On the defensive side of the ball, we could’ve had more intensity at times in the first half, but we came out of halftime ready to put it all together.� The Pirates are on hiatus until Monday, February 22 when they will host Glenwood City before ending the regular season at St. Croix Falls on Feb. 25. The Dragons head to Luck to take on the Cardinals in a 7:15 p.m. game on Friday night.

percent on the season from the freethrow line. Aaron has led us in three-pointers made each of his first three years, and is on pace to set a single season school record for three-pointers made in a season. He has led us in charges taken in each of his first three seasons. This season, Aaron is averaging 15 points a game. “In third grade, he had a hard time getting the ball over the rim, and that was if he was standing right by the basket! In middle school, he really starting to work on his game, and spent just about every morning at open gym, working on his shot. Outside of Jimmy Flannigan and Caitlynn Flannigan, nobody in Siren has spent more time shooting on a rebounder every morning. “Aaron has worked very hard for me and he works just as hard in the classroom. I have really enjoyed the last four years, and like any father, wish the season would never end, but Aaron has given me a lifetime of memories. I am very lucky to have had the chance to coach him. “I have had the chance to coach nine 1,000 point scorers in my 17 years as a head coach in Siren. All of those kids were extremely competitive, and had the drive to be great. I have been very lucky to have had a chance to coach all of these great kids!�

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

This week I am featuring two dogs that have been featured before. They have many common traits. For instance, even though they are both large dogs, they think they can fit on your lap. Both fellows are well behaved. You can sit on the floor in their kennel and they aren’t all over you. They don’t jump on you, nor do they cover your face with slobbery kisses. I’m not saying that they won’t sneak a kiss or two in; they just aren’t “in your Grayson face.” I admit that when they attempt to fit themselves into your lap, it can be a bit uncomfortable – but it is so endearing that you tend to ignore the pain. These two also have beautiful coats. Paco is a Mastiff mix with a brindle coat and Grayson is a LabraPaco dor Retriever mix with a sort of twotoned coat. Paco came in at around 84 pounds, but could still stand to gain some weight. Grayson came to us heart worm positive, but has gotten treatment. Lastly, both dogs have been patiently waiting to be adopted. I am very surprised that they haven’t found a home yet. Although these two are alike in many ways, they do NOT like each other! So, there is NO chance of adopting these fellows together. They seem to be semi-selective in choosing their doggie friends too, so may need to be an “only child” or have a meet and greet with a potential adopter’s other dog. Paco and Grayson told me to tell you that they are all the dog you will need – guaranteed!

If you are interested in adopting Paco, Grayson, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www. hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 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.

WILDSIDE Incorporating cover crops into your operation Cover crops and soil health have emerged as “buzz words” in the agriculture community, and will be among the topics discussed at the 31st annual Northern Safari of Agriculture Specialists at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 19 at the Spooner Ag Station. Brian Briski of the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service will share farmer experiences using rye, clovers, radishes, turnips and other crops in various cropping systems across Wisconsin and the Midwest. Briski will discuss some practical options in selecting, planting, and managing cover crops in our northern region. This seminar will provide farmers and growers with the tools and information to decide how cover crops can fit into a grain crop, hay or pasture, and market garden systems. Soil health principles will be discussed and illustrated through hands-on demonstrations. Briski has worked for more than 15 years in many Wisconsin NRCS regions as a soil conservationist, district conservationist, and currently Area Resource Conservationist in Altoona, WI. He is one of Wisconsin’s leading NRCS cover crop professionals. The free sessions are sponsored by UW-Extension and NRCS. Each session lasts about two hours. Call Otto Wiegand at 715-635-3506 for more information.

WISCONSIN OUTDOOR NEWS Some want to block Wisconsin coyote hunting contest MADISON, Wis. (AP)—As the sun begins to set this weekend in northern Wisconsin, hunters will start to gather at Main Street Ed’s in the small town of Argonne, coyote carcasses in tow. Some will only have one; others could bring in a half-dozen or more. After a weigh-in at the tavern, hunters will take home prizes for the largest and smallest coyotes, as well as for the most killed. Runners-up will still have a shot at the gun raffle, meat raffle or door prizes. Coyote-hunting contests aren’t unusual around the country, and in Wisconsin, any season is open and legal season on the animals. Supporters say such hunts help control the coyote population. But they’re facing a growing backlash from conservationists and wildlife lovers, who compare them to cockfighting and dogfighting and are pushing to ban the contests. “This is senseless and it’s bloodlust and it’s not about conservation, it’s basically about using living targets,’’ said Melissa Smith, executive director of Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf, which fears protected wolves will be accidentally killed by coyote hunters. “We’re hunters and we really feel like this gives a bad name to hunters that do things ethically.’’ In 2014, California officials banned coyote hunting contests that offer prizes after a push from such conservation groups as Project Coyote and Center of Biological Diversity. In other states, like Idaho and Oregon, lawsuits from conservation groups have stopped or downsized popular hunts. An online petition is circulating to halt Saturday’s event in Wisconsin. At least 80 formal coyote hunting contests and tournaments took place in 23 states over the past year, according to the Coyote Contest website, which lists such events. Others are not listed, like the one taking place in Argonne. The hunts can end with upward of 100 coyotes killed. The three-day Coyote Craze Classic in Nebraska last year took in 173 coyotes, according to the event website. “There’s so many coyotes, there’s so many predators in the woods here that are knocking down our deer,’’ said John Aschenbrenner, a Forest County delegate to the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, an elected body that advises the Natural Resources Board and Department of Natural Resources. Hunters typically kill anywhere from one or two coyotes to more than a dozen in these contests. Most states have no bag limit on coyotes. Hunters with the highest kill count, the mangiest kill or the largest or smallest take home cash, belt buckles, hunting gear or other prizes. Some contests ban hunting with dogs; others encourage it. Saturday’s contest includes a category for hound hunters and one for hunters who attract coyotes with calls. Argonne Town Board Chairman Don LeMaster and contest organizer Josh Vollmar did not return calls for comment. “It’s a very disturbing trend,’’ said Center of Biological Diversity conservation advocate Michael Robinson. “It’s about body counts and it reduces living animals, living beings. It reduces them to a score.’’ Conservationists argue that the killing doesn’t effec-

tively manage coyote populations and can even lead to increased reproduction rates. They also are concerned hunters could confuse coyotes with wolves. Robinson said at least 19 endangered wolves have been shot and killed since 2001 by hunters who said they thought they were coyotes. Department of Natural Resources conservation warden supervisor David Walz said they haven’t seen any more wolves being shot during coyote hunts than any other time hunters are out. Camilla Fox, executive director of Project Coyote, a nonprofit trying to change negative attitudes toward coyotes, thinks such events will ultimately be banned, like cockfighting and dogfighting. But she said it will be a state-by-state fight. “The base component here is that killing an animal for a prize or a trophy is ethically indefensible,’’ Fox said, “and I think a lot more wildlife agencies understand that and they recognize that this is something they have to address.’’

Ruby was born March 7, 1919 t Stanley and Ida (Amundson) to C Clementson at Branstad. She w was baptized and confirmed in Bethany Lutheran Church. After graduating from Grantsburg High School, Ruby attended Polk County Normal School. She taught in Burnett County schools for several years. In 1946, she married William James Cook. They moved to a farm near Atlas, which was her home for the rest of her life. To this union eight children were born, four boys and four girls. She transferred to Laketown Lutheran church and remained a faithful active member until her death. Throughout the years, Ruby served as Sunday School Superintendent, taught both Sunday School and Bible School, sang in the choir, and held several offices in the WELCA. Ruby loved her church family and was the oldest member of Laketown Church, missing services only when she was too ill to attend. When you visited Ruby’s home, you would always be welcomed with good strong coffee, a warm, gentle smile and a heart ready to listen. You never left hungry and always left feeling better than when you came. Ruby, a proud Norwegian, loved and enjoyed people, often saying “I learn something from everyone I meet.” Her sense of humor, curiosity, and enthusiasm for life never wavered. She wanted to know everything that was going on, with her family, in the community, and in the world. Ruby appreciated the wonder of nature, loving flowers, birds, wildlife, and her garden. She loved to sit on the deck and listen to the birds as she watched for wildlife. Ruby said “I want to live every day I can, if for no other reason than just to see the seasons come and go.” She was kind and caring to everyone she encountered, and extended that compassion to all living creatures. Ruby was an avid reader, usually finishing several books per week. She played the piano, wrote heartfelt letters, and even wrote an award-winning story published in Hobos and Swimming Holes. Although she was 96, her children and grandchildren would ask Ruby specific details about names and dates. Her memory never failed. When she was terribly sick on the last days of her life, she still found the strength to make sure her Valentines got mailed to the great-grandchildren and that some treats got delivered to her sister in a nursing home. She questioned whether all her children were well, and if they were finding something to eat. Ruby found great joy in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved when all her family got together on special occasions, which they regularly did. Ruby didn’t care much for travel, finding perfect contentment in being at home, but she did go to Canada, to Alaska twice, and visited several states. With indescribable courage she faced many challenges, from open heart surgery at age 89, to the greatest tragedy, the loss of son, Kevin. Never taking time for self-pity, she was right back to the business of living. Ruby is survived by children, Scott Cook, Melody (Tom) Hutton, Crystal (Ozzie) Berntson, daughter-inlaw Jill Cook, Claire (Chris) Chinander, Kerry Cook, Rockne Cook, Marigen (Rev. Roger) Kastelle; grandchildren, Torey (Holly) Hutton, Trinity (Tory) Greenquist, Gabriel and Dominic Berntson, Kirt Cook, Ben (Sarah) Cook, Bjorn, Trygve and Leif Chinander, Ethan and Mckenna Cook; great-grandchildren, Declan and Selah Greenquist, Savannah, Amelia, Carolyn and Bennett Berntson, Ella, Molly and Liam Cook. Also survived by sisters, Dolores Johnson, Elayne Johnson, Marjorie Robinson, Deborah (Pepper) Clementson; and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; parents, Stanley and Ida Clementson; son, Kevin; son-inlaw, Charlie Anderson; sisters, Velva Bauer and Betty Skinner. We thank God for Ruby’s life, our greatest blessing. An online guestbook is available at www.rowefh. com or www.wicremationcenter.com.

In memory of Arlene Jensen A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes we’re together again.�

And we all receive ashes within the midst of a unique point in our lives. Some came, just following the person in front of them, not pondering on what was happening. Others came intentionally deeply contemplating their own or others mortality. There were junior high confirmation students and elderly widows, husbands and

These ashes are placed on our foreheads in the same place where another cross once marked and sealed forever in the waters of our baptism.

BBQ’d chicken-sicles, anyone?

BILL THORNLEY | SPOONER ADVOCATE

“Come and get it!” Volunteer Ben Keup, a member of the Lakes & Pines Sno-Trail Club, dished up the main meal at the 24th Annual Barrens Chicken BBQ at A&H last Saturday.

BILL THORNLEY | SPOONER ADVOCATE

The bonfire was putting out plenty of heat on the 5-degree day.

Above, the Burnett County snowmobile trails were great on Saturday reported Chicken BBQ-goers (from left), Mark and Kathy Hoffman and Jody and Joe Kaye of Middle McKenzie Lake. At left, Steve Christner, owner of nearby Lipsie Pines, was not put off by the cold weather and was one of the first to arrive at the BBQ.

Royalty on stage Saturday GRANTSBURG—For the first time, the Mid-Winter Sports Day will have some pomp and circumstance as the Miss Grantsburg Pageant will be on stage at 6 p.m. Saturday night at the Grantsburg High School Auditorium. The pageant has been on hiatus for a couple of years after former director, Niki Olson, stepped down. “I personally think it’s a lot for one person to take on. That’s why the three of us came together to get this pageant going again,” said Desiree Anderson. Assisting Anderson in organizing the pageant are Michelle Qualle and Sarah Covey. Pageant-goers may be used to the event being a part of Big Gust weekend in June. “We had to change the date due to schedul-

ing conflicts with the auditorium,” Anderson explained. “It’s been tough working around sports and other school activities, but we’re managing to pull through.” That being said, the 2017 pageant may be on a different date. “We will probably revisit dates for next year and see if there’s a more fitting time to host the pageant,” she concluded. The mission statement of the pageant states “to build a better community by empowering young women through opportunities for personal and professional growth, community service, celebrating their accomplishments, and building confidence and self esteem.” By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Fifteen girls are hoping to be crowned Little Miss Grantsburg during Saturday’s pageant. They include (front row from left) Natalee Carlson, Josie Erickson, Taylor Anderson, Josie Doskocil, Madison Michaels and Katherine Peterson. Middle row: Maddelin Gardner, Aliyah Martin, Gilma Wylie, Megan Harmon, Majesty Rehbein and Ruby Rengo. Back row: Eleanora Kammeyer, Lola Hill and Clare Chenal.
