BALSAM LAKE—David John Rudolf Ohnstad, 24, Cushing, pled guilty to one count of fourth degree sexual assault of a child in a Polk County courtroom on Monday as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced to one year of probation and can have no contact with the victim or her family. Ohnstad was initially charged with five counts of first degree sexual assault of a child, a class B felony, in Burnett County and three counts of first degree sexual assault in Polk County. He faced a possible 60 years prison sentence for each charge. The charges were combined and assigned to Judge Daniel Tolan in Polk County. It was a tense courtroom full of family when Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine announced the plea deal both sides had settled on. It dismissed all but one count of sexual assault of a child and it was amended from first degree to fourth degree, a class A misdemeanor. As part of the withheld sentence, if Ohnstad violates probation he will be sentenced to six months in county jail. According to the criminal complaint, in 2013 the victim first stated her claim to law enforcement after an apparent drug overdose. She said she was in elementary school when the alleged assaults began. The victim’s family and Ohnstad’s family knew each other well and were often at gatherings together.

Committee approves employees carrying ﬁrearms when working in woods JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– The Natural Resources committee met last week and approved with a single opposing vote a motion that will allow Forestry and Parks officers to carry a firearm when working in Burnett County woods. Workers will be allowed to carry their own personal

firearm if they have taken hunter’s safety and have a concealed carry permit. “Neither the county or our department will be buying guns,” said Forestry Administrator Jake Nichols. “Three, potentially four people could use this in the entire department.” Nichols said the reason he is asking for his department employees to be allowed to

carry a firearm is based on the rising number of bears in the county forests and also illegal drug activity. “They will not be allowed to bring the gun into government buildings,” Nichols said. He added that this step is being made to keep his department’s employees safe. “I don’t want any forestry people in jeopardy out there,” Nichols said.

Nichols explained that he had talked with County Administrator Nate Ehalt and the counties legal counsel and they had no problem with this new policy. “I started reaching out to other counties and I was surprised by how many allow this,” Nichols said. “It was more than I expected.” The only opposing vote came from committee member Gene

Danbury Cares Sweet Shop opens just in time for Valentine’s Day instead of constantly taking from it,” Young said.

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

DANBURY–– Danbury Cares Sweet Shop has moved from a hardware store, then a bank to their current storefront at 2523 Main St. in Danbury. The staff took the month of January off, but are back in business. “We were at the hardware store, but they didn’t believe in air conditioning,” said Danbury Cares founder, Lynda Young. “That wasn’t great for working with chocolate.” The Sweet Shop has been on Main Street for two years and Danbury Cares is celebrating its fourth year of providing services to people struggling financially in Burnett County. “Danbury Cares is a non-profit organization. We offer one-time financial assistance to people in Burnett County,” Young said. “It could be helping someone from stopping their home from being foreclosed on or helping with the heating bill.” Young is focused on helping

Young said people come from all over the county for donuts in Danbury. “People would have been furious if we wouldn’t have been open for Valentine’s Day,” she said.

the children and started Danbury Cares after her and her husband retired from running a restaurant in Little Canada. “I was a bad kid growing up, had trouble with the law and was sent up to St. Croix Camp,” Young said. “My life changed for the better up here. I knew I always wanted to come back,

retire and give back to the community.” Young explained that this year they will be having volunteers at the Sweet Shop that are working off community service hours. “It’s important that they come here and figure out how to give back to the community

The beginning Young said at their Little Canada restaurant they sold donuts. So they have been making and selling donuts for over 10 years. When pressed on why she makes donuts, the response was simple. “Donuts are the best, that was really it,” Young stated. Young stated it all started when the Fire Department was short on funds after their holiday drive. She made candy to help raise money for the department and ended up with $1,700. Giving back has always been the focus and that will continue as Easter comes. “We’ll be doing Easter baskets as the season rolls around,” Young said. “All the money goes back to families for an Easter meal. Last year we provided 21 families with meals and helped out 37 children.”

Not just donuts Stepping into the Sweet Shop the senses are immediately turned on to the fresh smell of newly baked donuts and sweet chocolates. They also sell specialty soaps, blankets, special wood crafts that Young’s husband makes and other assorted gift items. “Everything we sell, besides the donuts, is donated to us,” Young said. “My husband does these woodwork pieces with electricity and my sisters make the soaps and blankets.” Young added that they currently make 25 different liquor infused chocolates. Danbury Cares Sweet Shop is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Young said they are always looking for more volunteers. “All the money we make from the stuff we sell here goes directly back into Danbury Cares,” Young said. “All of that money goes back into the community.”

Grantsburg student activities reﬂect District values LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—Students in all grades are reflecting District values on collaboration and outreach. Some of their activities were spotlighted in the Grantsburg School Board’s meeting on Monday. Board members also discussed support staff compensation, equipment purchases, and several other items.

Costa Rican Students GHS host students Blake Jensen, Amanda Johnson, Grace Lehne, and Savanna Trittelwitz gave a photo presentation to the Board about their experiences with the Costa Rican exchange students. The visitors, 16 students and four chaperones, were in Grantsburg for ten days at the end of January. Both sets of students were able to exchange information on their respective cultures. The visitors shared folk dancing, zumba, chorreadas (corn meal pancakes) and empanadas (savory cheese and bean pastry pockets). Grantsburg students showed off

winter activities such as ice skating and snow tubing. “They were fascinated by how fast they could go down a hill,” Trittelwitz said. “We got fast enough that we got right to the wall,” Jensen added, speaking about riding snow tube trains. The hosts also shared our cuisine. Lehne and her sister took their two students to Grandma’s in Duluth, noting the visiting girls were excited about having “hamburgers with bacon.” It was also mentioned that a lot of cheese was consumed. Johnson said it was amazing to see improvements in the students’ skills “At first, my student’s English was poor. By the time she left, it had improved a lot.” Johnson is already planning to join an exchange trip to Costa Rica next year. Conservation Speaker to State Principal Morrin updated the board on participation in the Sixth Grade Conservation Competition. Students are required to do in-depth research on a Wisconsin waters invasive species, and then present a short speech to the judges and their peers. “They do a two-minute presentation,” Morrin shared, “but they put hours and hours into researching and putting it all together.” Vincent Vogland represented GMS in the regional competition, and will be moving forward to compete on the state level. Morrin said, “Vincent is very articulate, plays the part really well, and is quite the showman. He will represent our school really well.”

Pennies for Patients The elementary students have just wrapped up their Pennies for Patients drive. Benefitting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for blood cancers, students were encouraged to collect spare change to reach a combined school goal

of $2100. They blew past that, collecting $5300, with two classrooms collecting more than $500 each and another three classrooms collecting over $400 each. Principal Olson also shared that staff from Grantsburg PD and North Memorial Ambulance recently came to hang out with elementary students at recess. The visitors showed off their equipment, gave students stickers, and went sledding with the kids. “They (the officers) called about 20 minutes before having recess and asked if they could come over. It was a fun opportunity for the kids.” Support Staff Compensation The Board approved a proposal addressing several support staff compensation issues. This proposal outlined a three percent across-the-board increase for support staff for cost of living and increased the license reimbursement for special education –a response to increase in the licensure fees. Four iForward Support Staff members were reclassed from part-time to full- time as a result of the increase in iForward’s enrollment and workload. The board also granted one additional paid holiday

to the nine-to-ten month staff, who previously had four paid holidays to the 12-month staff’s eight. The proposal also adjusted Rebekah Stavne’s contract to reflect her administrative role in community education. In other items: • Approval was granted to outfit two of the high school English classrooms with new tables. Some of the existing furniture is 34 years old, and the new furniture will help facilitate work collaboration between students. •iForward has increased its enrollment for the spring semester, with a total of 636 students. They are looking towards administering ACT tests for students. •The remodeling project is moving forward with the architects to finalize plans. The bleacher and gym floor jobs will be delayed until summer of 2019 to allow for sufficient research to maximize function and minimize future maintenance. •This week is School Bus Driver Appreciation Week. Thanks to the people who keep our students safe, warm, and happy!

Support Local Arts JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

As a kid, every year I went to the Menomonee Falls Patio Players production of a Christmas Carol. Now granted, it’s not nearly as good as the Muppet Christmas Carol, but they hit the same notes. I attended The Siren Variety Show on Saturday night. It was great and I hope to attend many events like it in the future. I did not take the easy way out of the $5 donation by saying, “I’m with the paper.” I have no problem giving money directly to any school’s music department. This is because I have such wonderful memories of being in the high school band. Like the time I Sentinel almost died from dehydration carrying a bass drum that was taller Editor than me in a jacket that weighed Jonathan Richie ten pounds. Or the time my mom yelled at me because I could not find my black dress shoes before a concert. I think I was about a size 10 shoe, and my loving mother somehow forced my little brother’s old 7.5 size shoes on my feet. But my favorite memory is being in the marching band for the football games. The year before, they strapped a bass drum to me and I was miserable. So the next year, I picked out the marimba. (A marimba is kind of like a wooden xylophone.) All I had to do was learn the song and be able to play it standing still. So the band is practicing before the game. We’re in the gym about 1,000 yards from the field and my pants break. The buckle basically dissolved on the pair of pants that may or may not have been older than me. It’s about 30 minutes until we play the National Anthem and I am waddling across the high school parking lot, pushing a marimba that is about two feet wide and five or six feet long. It’s a struggle, but I eventually make it to the field and I rest on the bleachers. The game is under way and I am relaxing nervously as I wait for our halftime show to begin. I don’t remember what we were playing, all I know is I just gotta roll this thing to the 45 yard line and play for about six minutes. The song comes and goes and I’m ready to get off the field and out of these broken pants. Wanna know what happened next? One of the four wheels fell off the marimba, and that caused two more to fall off. So I am waddling back to the band room with one hand holding up my pants and the other attempting to direct a marimba on one wheel across a parking lot. Some of the band parents saw me struggling and took pity on me, so they moved the marimba back to the band room. That is why I support the local arts, because those moments of embarrassment for me could be moments of joy for others. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Failure - The best teacher TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

Another Super Bowl is in the record books. It was a great game with the ending coming down to the final play. You couldn’t have asked for a better finish. The Twin Cities have received good reviews as hosts of the Super Bowl. The decision to embrace the winter and show visitors the many different ways to enjoy the cold proved to be very savvy. Having 10,000 volunteers to help visitors with directions and any other situation that may have occurred From the Publisher’s provided another opportunity for out of towners to experience the hospitalDesk ity that we take for granted. The Super Bowl is an event that is Tom Stangl inflated so far out of perspective that h smallest ll even the blip during the game can take on a life of its own. Between the 24 hour news cycle and the internet, a miscue can destroy or make a career. The most valuable player (MVP) of the game was Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. Foles began his career with the Eagles. He was traded to the St. Louis Rams in 2015 and asked for a release at the end of the 2016 season after the Rams, who had moved to Los Angeles, drafted Jared Goff. Foles spent last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. He returned to the Eagles as a backup to Carson Wentz. After Wentz suffered a season ending injury, Foles took over the quarterback duties and after a shaky start led the Eagles to the Super Bowl. In remarks after the team won the Super Bowl, Foles provided an insightful reality check on success in the 21st century. “I think the big thing is don’t be afraid to fail,”

Foles said. “In our society today, with Instagram and Twitter, it’s a highlight. It’s all the good things. When you look at it, you have a bad day, you think your life isn’t as good, you’re failing. Failure is a part of life. It’s a part of building character and growing. Without failure, who would you be? I wouldn’t be up here if I hadn’t fallen thousands of times, made mistakes. We all are human. We all have weaknesses. Just being able to share that and be transparent. “I know when people speak and share their weaknesses, I listen. Because I can (relate). I’m not perfect. I’m not Superman. We might be in the NFL and we might have just won the Super Bowl, but we all have daily struggles. That’s where my faith comes in. That’s where my family comes in. I think when you look at a struggle in your life, just know that it’s an opportunity for your character to grow.” Spot on for a guy that considered walking away from the NFL. Just over a week after the Super Bowl, the speculation about Foles’ future is rampant. In the quarterback starved league, many teams look at Foles’ success and imagine what they could do with him calling signals next year in their uniform. Foles begged off questions about his future after the win, saying that he preferred to be in the moment and that the future could wait, at least for a little while. I believe that if Foles doesn’t play another game he has earned a special place for simply having the courage to be a real human being, failures and all. Thanks for putting it all in perspective for the rest of us. As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

Bills should help not hinder those who need path out of poverty INGRID ROTHE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF WISCONSIN

The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin agrees with Governor Walker that employment in jobs that pay a living wage is the most effective means for families to move out of poverty and become vital, contributing members of society. However, the majority of people in Wisconsin who continue to receive FoodShare and other government benefits are people who already face substantial barriers to improved employment: many have disabilities that limit their options; they may be single mothers with children and inadequate access to good child care;

they have chronic or acute health concerns that require frequent—perhaps daily— treatment regimens; they lack access to good transportation to travel to work or to daycare or to medical appointments; they lack modern skills to meet employers’ technical requirements; they live in constant fear of domestic violence and sabotage of their employment prospects. Increasing the bureaucratic compliance requirements is not the most humane, and certainly not the most efficient, way to help people train for and compete successfully for good jobs. While some of these bills propose changes to our exist-

ing systems that may help a small percentage of low-income individuals, they largely do not provide the types of assistance that would result in meaningful change. Unfortunately, these proposals are mostly about increasing the barriers faced by struggling families, which we know will simply result in fewer resources for the families involved. And this misguided effort will cost Wisconsin taxpayers $90 million. Imagine how that money could be used to benefit Wisconsin workers! Instead of increasing barriers to accessing assistance, the League encourages the legislature to develop proposals that will: help families with

their transportation problems; provide good, neighborhood child care that is available at the times, which is needed by the erratic schedules employees are now required to work; ensure that people are receiving needed medical care; expand training opportunities for the modern job market; and provide that available jobs pay a family-sustaining wage. Unemployment in Wisconsin is approaching historically low levels. Employers and the government will have to work together to expand the labor force to meet the increasing demand for skilled employees. This cannot be done by making it harder for low-wage workers to access supplements

to their low wages. It can only be done by expanding the opportunities for families to participate in the modern labor market. We encourage the legislature to take a new look at how to make it possible for more people to meaningfully participate in building Wisconsin’s economy. As they stand, these proposals will not help the state move forward, and we urge lawmakers to reject them. Ingrid Rothe currently serves on the Legislative Committee for the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, a nonpartisan organization that advocates for informed and active participation in government.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

by Barb Blodgett

To the Editor: I cannot remember a more busy time for Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County. You may have noticed I have not had a column for a while. First, there was Christmas for Kids. In October the program was in full swing. The toys and clothes were all put in order in what we called the Store. There were so many donations of beautiful new presents that we almost outgrew our space. Thanks to Odette Holter, who was the coordinator of the project, everything was organized. That was the beginning. The wish lists that had been sent out since October 1 were beginning to come in and the bags for families were starting to be filled. Odette was the buyer for the items that were asked for and not donated. I can’t even count the trips to WalMart she made, (with her very patient husband, Robert) but somehow each bag was filled with something each child asked for and many other surprises. The generous contributions of gifts and money allowed us to make the project of Christmas for Kids for 2017 our biggest ever. We were able to give 425 kids a special Christmas. This represented 172 families. I should mention that Odette is a “sale” shopper and we already have gifts for Christmas for Kids 2018. There were some toys left over that had been donated and were to go into storage and storage always seems to be my basement. Every year we say we are putting things in a “storage” unit, but every year after much

discussion about the safety of toys and clothes, and after many deep breaths and raised eyebrows on my part, I lose my spare room in the basement to next years Christmas for Kids Store. Speaking of donations, I can’t begin to thank everyone who donated but must mention some. Danbury Cares Sweet Shop put up a “Giving Tree” and donated the 200 gifts that were taken to Danbury Cares store. Organizations, churches and businesses and even schools donated toys and clothing. and every single year George Costello of Danbury Fire and Rescue shows up with many food cards and gas cards for the families. It is easy to say that Christmas for Kids 2017 was our biggest and best ever. We started 2018 with my announcement that I would be retiring as director of Interfaith (after what seems to have been a bazillion years) on January 1, 2019. This decision was very difficult for me to make, but at 76 years old, it is time. I will remain in an advisory position for as long as I am able. Interfaith Caregivers is my baby and I always say I am not ready to let her go to college yet. At the time my retirement seemed so far away and gave us plenty of time to advertise, interview, hire and train someone for the position. It seems like the year I planned is going by so fast. I want to make it very clear that Interfaith projects will go on as they are. Denny will still be in place as the chairman and

Wow!

While every other State Representative from Northern Wisconsin has taken an active role in trying to return Wolf management to the state, Representative Nick Milroy (D-South Range) has done absolutely nothing. When we held a wolf summit, near his district, dozens of his constituents attended, but not Nick Milroy. He couldn’t be bothered. Too busy I guess. When we work to put constant pressure on Congress, Milroy sits on his hands. When we propose legislation to end State wolf involvement until management is returned to Wisconsin - a method that worked in Idaho to achieve delisting - Milroy votes no. He has lots of excuses. But the fact is, neither he nor Sen. Janet Bewley (D-Ashland) have done a damn thing. They are content to ignore this crisis. And that’s pathetic. Why? Because we need them more than ever. The window is quickly closing on our opportunity for Congress to pass bi-partisan delisting legislation. Unfortunately, only a few Democrat US Senators support the bill. We need a few more. Every Republican US Senator supports the bill. But we need 9 Democrats (we only have 3 or 4). To get there, we need Tammy Baldwin to exert pressure on her Democrat colleagues. As fellow Democrats, Milroy and Bewley could be instrumental in getting Sen. Baldwin to twist some arms. But instead, Milroy and Bewley make pathetic excuses. They do absolutely nothing to help. So here is your chance Rep. Milroy. Show your constituents that you care. Write an open letter to Senator Baldwin. You clearly have the time. In just one day, you wrote a lengthy letter explaining why you just couldn’t vote for a bill to put pressure on Congress to delist, so now maybe you can take some time to do something for your constituents instead of saving yourself. Rep. Milroy, I’ll look forward to reading your open letter to Tammy Baldwin urging her to get delisting done.

organizer of Heat a Home and of course, Odette will still be the coordinator for Christmas for Kids. We will still build wheelchair ramps and do as much as we can for the community. I hope to remain as an advisor. Little will change except that we will have a new director. This summer we will be having rummage sales from the sites of our storage units. We have ten in three locations. Each full of various treasures and we really have to downsize. Of course, our sales are always on a free will offering basis. The dates will be published as they are about to happen. We will also be having fundraisers. New and exciting ideas will be coming. Interfaith always needs funds to operate on and hopefully, these events will help for that purpose. I have some wonderful stories to share of the past few months, but my space is limited and they will have to wait. I hope to continue to write a monthly column and will tell some of these stories in the future. For those of you in doubt, spring will soon be here and the snow and cold will go away. Seems a remote idea, but I guarantee it will happen. I am so patiently waiting to see the buds on the trees, the flowers coming up and the first robin of spring. I would love to have time slow down, but it goes by so fast.

Siren Police cases continue to rise Sybers making progress with resource officer in school JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN–– The Siren Police Department had one more case in January than in any month of last year. Chief of Police Chris Sybers said in January of 2017 they had 17 cases and 74 cases this January. “The majority of these cases deals with burglary and drugs,” Sybers said. He added that service calls in the village and officer hours have increased significantly. “Calls for service went up considerably,” Sybers said. “We had 301 calls last month, compared to 237 last January.” Sybers was asked if the he knew whether the county caseload was affected the same way his department has. “I guess so. The county usually has double the cases we do, but that’s normal for them,” Sybers responded.

“We’re beating other villages and that’s not a good thing. We don’t want to be number one in that area.” He reassured the village board that his department is working hard, but admitted he doesn’t know what the future holds for his department workload. “We’re still plugging away at it,” Sybers said. “I don’t know when, if ever it’s going to change.”

ulum class and a law and civics class at the school. He added that he has been eating lunch with the younger kids to establish a more positive relationship with them. “Most kids we’re dealing with only see us when bad things are happening, like arresting parents for drugs,” Sybers said. “It’s a nice thing and it’s tough sitting in those little chairs.”

Resource officer Sybers did bring good news to the meeting. When he was asked about the resource officer position at Siren school he had a surprisingly pleasant response. “It’s going pretty well,” Sybers said. “We’re planning on being there nine hours a week. We haven’t quite hit that mark because of other calls received, but we can make it up to them later.” Sybers explained that he has been teaching fifth graders in a drug curric-

Ball Park Rudy and Ruth Mothes are stepping down from running the Siren Ball Park and are in the process of tuning it over to new management. The village held a meeting at the end of January to address the park’s future. The Siren School is looking to help. According to Village Trustee Jan Hunter, there were four people from the school at the meeting. “That process is just starting,” Hunter said. “The school is so happy and is

more than willing to make sure (the ball park) continues to operate.” Village President Dave Alden added that Siren is the only community that still has a Men’s softball league and that is thanks to Rudy “Everyone at that meeting showed a great appreciation for Rudy and what he’s done,” Hunter said.

The guns were photographed and collected, but were not the firearms that were reported stolen in Carlton County. However, Churchill and Rogers are both felons, and were charged with felon in possession of a firearm. As the vehicle search continued ,officers found a glass bubble pipe with white residue on it. They also seized a Dremel tool kit with accessories, two adjustable wrenches, a knife, binoculars and a night vision monocular, the complaint said. The baggies of suspected methamphetamine weighed 3.22 grams. A field test was conducted on the contents of the baggie and the glass bubble pipe both came back positive for the presence of methamphetamine. Possession of methamphetamine – PATC and possession of burglarious tools – PATC are both class I felonies, they carry penalties of up to a $10,000 fine, three years and six months imprisoned or both. Possession of a firearm by a felon – PATC is a class G felony, each count carries a penalty of $25,000 fines and 10 years imprisoned. Churchill and Rogers are both in custody of the Burnett County Jail. They both made their initial appearances in court in front of Judge Melissia Mogen last week.

Two Webster men were arrested in a stolen vehicle early on a Sunday morning last month. A police search of the car found methamphetamine, burglarious tools and multiple firearms. Jordan M. Rogers, 28, Webster, has been charged with operating a motor vehicle without owner’s consent. Derek S. Churchill, 26, Webster, has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Both have been charged with possession of methamphetamine as a party to a crime (PATC), possession of burglarious tools – PATC, possession of drug paraphernalia – PATC. Churchill and Rogers are both felons and have been charged with three counts of possession of a firearm by a felon. According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 27 the Sheriff’s Department dispatch center sent a message to all deputies alerting them of an alleged burglary in Carlton County, Minn. during the early hours of Jan. 26. The vehicle used in the suspected burglary was registered to someone in the Burnett County Jail. Two deputies went searching for the car when they were informed that it had been stolen in Lake

Lena, Minn. The witness said they didn’t know who took it, but described them as a Native American male of medium height and wearing glasses. On Sunday Jan. 28, St. Croix Tribal Police officers made a traffic stop at approximately 12:48 a.m. at CTH X near Sand Lake Road in the Town of Sand Lake. The car was driven by Rogers and Churchill was in the passenger seat. Burnett County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Scott Burns arrived on the scene about four minutes later and was told the two were in custody. One of the officers told Burns that Rogers allegedly had a black zippered bag on his person. The bag contained two baggies which the officers believed contained methamphetamine. Rogers apparently tried to hide the bag in his buttocks it was removed by tribal officers. The black zippered bag and its contents were turned over to Burnett County Jail. Officers also found a pair of brass knuckles on Churchill. After Churchill and Rogers were arrested the officers began searching the vehicle. Burns located three long guns; a Marlin Model 60 semi-automatic style .22 caliber rifle, a Winchester Ranger Model 120 Youth 20 gauge pump shotgun, and a Stoeger Uplander double barrel break action 410 gauge shotgun.

Siren man charged with burglary, admits to attempt – denies any theft JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN–– An attempt was made to steal the change machine from the Siren Laundromat in January. The suspect admitted to the attempt, but stated nothing was stolen on the day in question. James D. Keller, 22, Siren, was charged with burglary of a building or dwelling, a class F felony, possession of burglarious tools, a class I felony, criminal damage to property and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors. According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 22 Siren Police officer Trevor Thiex received a report of a burglary at Siren Laundromat from the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Henry said he saw security camera footage from the

laundromat showing a male with black hair, wearing a black or grey jacket, tan gloves and possibly a tattoo below his left eye. Henry noticed the subject on camera twice before and after 7:30 a.m. On the video at 8:24 a.m. Keller allegedly removes an item from inside his jacket and approaches the machine. Henry said the framing of the machine had been disturbed and pried off in a possible attempt to remove the machine from the wall. The office door in the laundromat also had been forced open. Officer Thiex went to the laundromat to take photos of the machine and noticed that the trim around the machine had been replaced. He looked at the security footage and recognized Keller at the laundromat. Thiex noted that Keller seemed to be watching a vehicle leave the parking lot

Amery resident killed in hit and run crash AMERY––On Friday, Feb. 9 at approximately 6:35 p.m., the Polk County Dispatch Center received a report of a car versus pedestrian hit and run crash in the City of Amery. Amery Police were dispatched to the scene on Keller Avenue near Central Street. Upon arrival, officers were advised that an adult woman was crossing Keller Ave. from west to east when she was struck by a vehicle being driven southbound on Keller Ave. The driver briefly stopped and then continued southbound from the scene. Witnesses were able to provide a vehicle description and WI license plate number. The vehicle was described and identified as a Green 2001 Saturn registered to Michael George, 59, of Altoona. The pedestrian was identified as Lisa Allen, 50, Amery. Ms. Allen was taken to ARMC via ambulance and

and then appeared to allegedly remove a crowbar or pry-type bar item from inside his jacket. A witness told Thiex that the subject arrived in a white vehicle, but could not be certain if it was a pickup truck of SUV. They did say the vehicle had a loud exhaust and a sticker on the passenger side. The next day Thiex along with Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers, Officer Aaron Bentley and St. Croix Tribal Police Officer Andy Yang went to Keller’s residence to serve him with a search warrant. Thiex said Keller came out of a bedroom area and appeared to have been sleeping. He observed a tattoo under his left eye and was detained. Keller told Thiex he did go to the laundromat to steal the change machine. He also admitted to forcing the office door open, the complaint said.

Keller said he did not steal anything from the laundromat that day. They then found several burglarious tools including a hammer, a blue pry tool, a screwdriver, a flat-type chisel and a purple style chisel. Sybers and Bentley said they had a burglary on D’Jock Street in late 2017 which had purple marks on the doorjamb. Keller said he used the chisel as an ice pick for ice fishing. Officers also located a multi-colored glass marijuana pipe which allegedly had the odor of burnt marijuana. They also found a pill container that had the odor of marijuana. If convicted on both felony charges, Keller faces a possible $35,000 in fines and a possible 16 years imprisoned. Keller will make his initial appearance in front of Judge Melissia Mogen on Feb. 28 at the Burnett County Courthouse.

CABLE––In just over three weeks, the Winter Olympics will come to Wisconsin in the form of the American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon, the largest ski race in the United States, Sat., Feb. 24. Celebrating 45 years of bringing skiers from all over the world to ski the 52 kilometers from Cable to Hayward, the Birkie offers a unique opportunity to see Olympic-class athletes competing in our area. Athletes and members of international skiing teams who compete for their countries in Olympic years will travel to northwest Wisconsin to ski the Birkie. Several million dollars are pumped into Northwest Wisconsin’s economy each year by the Birkie, and people stay as far away as Siren to be part of the event. Over 12,000 skiers are registered to take part in Birkebeiner events, held around the Hayward area Feb. 22-25. Over two thousand volunteers are needed each year to provide liquids and on-course nutrition to the skiers during the race. There are nine food stations on the race route spaced over the 52 kilometers, and race organizers are in need of volunteers every year to provide this support. This can be used as a community service project for most students. New in 2018, the Korteloppet race is

being held on Friday, Feb. 23 and volunteers are needed at the Gravel Pit food stop for a couple hours. If you would like to be part of the rich history of the American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon and would consider helping for a few hours on Friday, Feb. 23 or Saturday, Feb. 24, email local Birkebeiner Race Chief of the Gravel Pit Food Station, William Johnson, wfjohnson004@ gmail.com or call at 715-327-4158 for more information. Registration to volunteer is easy online. Just go to www.birkie.com and click through the steps under volunteering, scroll down and click on the Gravel Pit food station from the list of options. You can choose the Korteloppet on Friday, or the full Birkie on Saturday (or both, if you really feel like being a mega-volunteer!) Volunteers receive Birkie hats and event pins, lunch, and a volunteer party invitation with a chance to win door prizes. Every year there are skiers from all 50 States and as many as 20 Countries competing at the Birkie. This is a chance to show off the best of the USA to the world.

The victim described the assaults in detail and said they continued until she threatened to tell people about Ohnstad’s conduct. Witness Impact Statements The victim as well as her mother and father read their witness impact statements out loud to the court. The victim’s father spoke first, saying he didn’t have words to express how he felt and that his daughter suffered in silence for years because of what Ohnstad did to her. He talked about the conflict between the two families and how society will no longer keep victims of sexual assault silent. “David took advantage (of her) for his own personal desire,” the victim’s mother said in her statement. “She told me it would be less painful to die then to go on living.” She said she had not spoken to her family for over two and a half years and that her sister won’t let their children play together for fear of more allegations rising. “A slap on the wrist is not enough for David, it’s not OK with me,” she said holding back tears. “I feel David needs to go to jail.” The victim began her statement with a poem entitled Venom. She said the abuse stole her childhood, took away her ability to love, and she wished she could have held on to her innocence when she was young like any other child. “I firmly believe you belong in a jail cell,” the victim said. “Shame on you all for what you have done.” After the witness statements were read Ohnstad’s attorney presented Tolan with almost 100 letters from friends and families and certificates and diplomas that show Ohnstad’s

community involvement. Attorney statements Norine began his remarks by admitting when a defendant pleads guilty he doesn’t have to worry about proving guilt. “We don’t have to worry about that in this case, it did happen,” Norine said. He said that Ohnstad’s probation should be monitored. He added if he completes the sex offender evaluation and follows up on all recommendations six months probation should be adequate. Ohnstad’s attorney Patrick Cotter addressed the family dysfunction that was constantly surrounding this case. Cotter then explained Ohnstad’s psycho/sexual evaluation. He said Ohnstad results indicated he has no greater risk of sexual assaults in the future compared to the general male population. “I hope you heard the pain in her voice,” Tolan said to Ohnstad. “No amount of jail time is going to fix that.” As part of the plea deal, Ohnstad must complete a sex offender evaluation, be in complete compliance with all recommendations, and can have no contact with the victim or her family. He will not have to register as a sex offender, and it is possible that the charges can be expunged from his record in the future. “I heard you apologize,” Tolan said. “I want you to write an apology to her in the next ten days.” Tolan continued to speak directly to Ohnstad. He said the charge was changed from first to fourth degree in part because Ohnstad was 15 at the time of the assault. “This is a tragedy. That it happened is a tragedy,” Tolan said. “Not just for the victim and yourself, but for her parents and your family.... One life and more have already been ruined. Here’s an opportunity to change your life.”

brief history of McNally. The company was established in 1942 by brothers James, Donald and Miles McNally, making spare parts for World War II as McNally Brothers Machine Company. In 1972, the company was sold and renamed McNally Industries. Over the next couple of decades they changed owners a number of times until 2003 when the current owner’s group took over. This group is continuing to evolve as a full-service manufacturer. Along with their main facility in Grantsburg on Benson Avenue, Segelstrom explained McNally has facilities in Seattle and Albuquerque. Their Grantsburg facility is 60,000 square feet with 90 employees and the company is thinking about local expansion. McNally Industries has recently been reverse engineering old Soviet weapon systems as the amount of Russian knock-offs continue to rise on the battlefield. “Reverse engineering these weapons is very helpful for special op missions,” Segelstrom

said. Segelstrom added they recently opened a program lab that can create scanned models of weapon systems among other things. These scans take incredibly accurate images of whatever piece of equipment it is given. They also have a 3D printer that can create a physical model of almost any thing. “That is so cool that this stuff is being made right here in Northern Wisconsin,” Kleefisch said. McNally has recently been contracted to make mortar weapon system(MWS) bipods as part of a five-year program. The contract is to manufacture and assemble 60mm, 81mm and 120mm MWS bipods as a subcontractor to Elbit Systems based in Ft. Worth, Texas. Expansion McNally has been eyeing an expansion and explained some of the setbacks with Kleefisch. “One of our biggest challenges is workforce staffing,” Segelstrom said. “Finding skilled employees to do the job that are in the area can be real tough.” Segelstrom said they have been looking to expand so they

has spoken with Police Chief Jeff Schinzing. “There have been preliminary talks, we feel the move (to 24 hours police department) would be beneficial to the police and community,” Segelstrom said.

can reverse engineer the NSV machine gun and test it on site. The discussion was about a new possible building on the north side of their current facility or a nearby kitty-corner lot. John Tackis, Director of Wisconsin Aerospace Partners at UW-Oshkosh, has extensive knowledge of these weapons and stated that the NSV is a very loud gun. “If we had this facility, we could fill it up,” Segelstrom said. “We would do test firing here. Because of the noise it

would have to be done underground.” He continued to say building a new facility might be the easy part. After the building and security system are in place, McNally would still need an armed guard to have a 15 minute response time. “We either need to hire a fulltime security crew or get help from the Grantsburg Police Department,” Segelstrom said. Grantsburg Police Department is not a 24-hour department and Segelstrom said he

Tour Kleefisch was very interested in all the materials, workers and their respective duties. She noted many times how cool it is that these things are being produced in Northern Wisconsin. She met with workers who were making the bolt action portion of a rifle. She also spoke with workers extensively about their work at McNally and their experience in the industry. Part of the tour took a look at the navigation system that is placed on the mortar that goes along with the bipods. Kleefisch also met the man in charge of welding portions of the bipods. “That’s gorgeous,” Kleefisch said as she admired some of the weld beads. “That’s what 26 years of experience on the job will get you.”

Tim Burns Tim Burns has campaigned on a platform of protecting voters’ rights, workers’ rights, land and water, small businesses and farms. “We should not be content to live in a hollowed country in which our small towns, small farms and small and midsize businesses have been strangled by concentrated wealth,” he writes on his campaign website. He adds, “Courts must carefully scrutinize government actions that weaken laws put in place to protect our environment or public lands and waters.” Burns told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the justice he most admires is former U.S. Justice Thurgood Marshall, who argued and won the “Brown vs. Board of Education” case that led to school desegregation before he was appointed to the Supreme Court. Rebecca Dallet Rebecca Dallet places emphasis on her experience, saying she’s “overseen both civil and criminal courts — making tough decisions to send violent criminals away, and rendered compassionate verdicts to give people a second chance.” Dallet said she has spent the last two decades gaining experience and working to make her community

safer, first as a prosecutor and later as a judge. Dallet told the Journal Sentinel she most admired retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor for her thoughtful independence. “I’m not saying I would decide the way she would,” Dallet told the Journal Sentinel. “What I admire about her is her ability to take an independent look (at cases).” Michael Screnock Michael Screnock’s campaign highlights his judicial philosophy, in which “the role of a judge or justice is to interpret and apply the law, not rewrite the law.” Screnock, who was appointed to the Sauk County Circuit Court in 2015 by Governor Scott Walker and retained the seat in the 2016 election, says on his campaign website, “My experience as a judge adds to the experience I gained as a local government official and an attorney, and uniquely prepares me for service on our state’s highest court.” Screnock’s pick for justice, as per the Journal Sentinel: Antonin Scalia. “He articulated a belief that it’s the role of the court to decide cases based on the written law,” he told the Milwaukee paper.

Plans move forward on Wisconsin Avenue construction project JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––On Monday night the Grantsburg Village Board meeting was held at the Grantsburg library where a lovely dinner was served to all in attendance. The board approved looking at applying for grants for their Wisconsin Avenue water main project. The board also discussed the Food Shelf contract, a new entrance for the community center and an update from the Grantsburg Revitalization Operation (GRO) committee. Dan Penzkover of S.E.H. Design explained the Wisconsin Avenue proposal to the board. He said that between S. Oak Street and S. Brad Street on Wisconsin Avenue there are four-inch water mains. It is about 850 feet of road and the idea is to replace the four-inch mains with eight-inch mains. “Eight-inch is now the standard size,” Penzkover said. “Four is outdated and eight inches allows higher pressure and more water flow.” Chris Bartlet, Director of Public Works said they think this is some of the last four-inch water main section in the village. The motion was approved and the proposal passed with no opposing votes and now the Village will look for grants

through the DNR. Food Shelf The Grantsburg Food Shelf will now be open one Saturday a month. Carmen Bouchie told the board that the Food Shelf is operated by ten different area churches, and would like to be open to help families that cannot get to the Food Shelf during the week. “We were open for one Saturday in January and served seven families,” Bouchie said. “Those were seven large families.” The Food Shelf came to the meeting because they said they violated their lease contract by operating for two hours on a Saturday. They said they plan on being open for one Saturday a month until September and will gladly pay the extra cost for remaining open, which amounts to about $12.50 a week. “It’s important for us to be open these weekends, because when parents work sometimes they cannot get here during the week,” Bouchie said. “We would like to revisit this at the October meeting.” Their lease is up in November and weekend hours will most likely be settled by that time. “We want to stay open and give this a try in winter, spring and fall to see how much it helps,” Bouchie said.

Cathie Erickson to lead Wisconsin Lakes Cathie Erickson was named president of Wisconsin Lakes for 2018 at the Board of Directors meeting in January. Erickson has served on the board for four years, most recently as vice-president. Erickson, a Stone Lake resident, serves both her local lake through the Shoreowners of Stone Lake Association and the region as past-president and current board member of the Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association. Her family bought a small summer cottage on Big McKenzie Lake in Washburn County, which she says “began a 36-year relationship with northwest Wisconsin’s lakes and natural areas and SUBMITTED her realization that WisconCathie Erickson sin’s waters are a precious natural resource.” “Cathie’s been a great resource for Wisconsin Lakes since she joined the board in 2014,” remarked Executive Director Michael Engleson. “She’s represented us in her region and on the planning committee for the Northwest Wisconsin Lakes Conference. Her quiet energy and leadership makes her an excellent successor to the leadership of the organization.” Wisconsin Lakes, a membership organization, works to develop statewide solutions for the challenges faced by our lakes while supporting strong local protection efforts. The organization’s work is centered on legislative advocacy for strong statewide policy on clean water and lake sustainability for future generations, as well as a robust education and technical assistance programs for citizens, lake organizations, government officials, and others. For more information, see www.wisconsinlakes.

Community Center Entrance Cathy McCabe came to the meeting to tell people that she knows a family in the area that would like to liven up the Community Center Entrance on Robert Street. McCabe told the board about a few different ideas she’s had like a gable shaped roofed with lighting fixtures installed to ease access from the street into the building. She also mentioned installing a base on the double doors for signage. “Signs could be put in to promote the gymnastics team,” McCabe said. “We want it to look nice for people who use that area.” McCabe said she would come back to the board with a more solid plan in the future. GRO The GRO committee was represented by Kristina Kelley-Johnson at the meeting. She gave a quick recap of their meeting to the board. “The airport project we feel is good for growth and the vision is good for the village,” Kelley-Johnson said. She added the committee has been focused on downtown Grantsburg including having trash receptacles along the street, new light poles with outlets

so business owners can plug their own festive lights in and crosswalks. “We discussed how to make the downtown more pedestrian-friendly,” Kelley-Johnson said. “Things like wider crosswalks and heavier paint. Studies show blue lines (instead of white) make people feel safer.” GRO is also looking at installing a fitness trail between the high school and hockey rink and trail kiosks throughout the village. “Our main goal is to figure out how people can enjoy Grantsburg more,” Kelley-Johnson said.

“Saving Snow” February at the Forts documentary to premier at the Birkie HAYWARD—The premier of the documentary “Saving Snow,” a film about the effects of climate change on American communities – and featuring footage from the 2017 Birkebeiner – is coming to the Park Center in Hayward. Three showings are scheduled: Thursday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 24 at 6 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 25 at noon. “Saving Snow” follows skiers, snowmobilers, sled dog guides, etc. from across the country. In February 2017, director Diogo Freire came to Hayward to film the excitement surrounding the Birkebeiner. “The goal of my films is to make climate change concrete,” says Freire. A disappearing snow season is more than just a frustration for winter sports enthusiasts. It means lost income for the many towns and small businesses. “Saving Snow” focuses on people coming to terms with these changes. But it also presents solutions. The Park Center,

located at 15791 US Hwy 63 in Hayward, will open a half hour before each of the films. The Thursday and Saturday showings will be followed by a panel discussion with business owners, community members, scientists, and students. Tickets are $5.

Farm Center is here for Wisconsin farmers MADISON – Work on a farm never ends, which can create added stress. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) reminds farmers that Farm Center staff are available to navigate the ups and the downs of agriculture. “We know that stress is high right now for dairy, livestock and crop farmers alike,” said Farm Center Director Kathy Schmitt. “Sometimes it can be hard to see possible alternatives in tough situations. That is where the Farm Center can help.” The Farm Center works one-onone with farmers and their families through all phases of the farm cycle, including start-up, growth, change, generational succession, and retirement. These no-cost services are available for both new and experienced farmers. “Farming is a complicated and demanding business,” added Schmitt, “and it is helpful to have someone there providing support, suggestions and encouragement, whether it be family, friends, or counseling services.” Farm Center staff can help sort out farm financial options and offer a listening ear if you need someone to talk to about your farm situation. DATCP also has a counseling voucher pro-

gram that can be used to access mental health services. “We know that chronic stress can have negative effects on our bodies, emotions, and ability to make decisions, and everyone gets a case of the blues now and then, but sometimes the blues turn to depression,” explained Schmitt. “Depression is a serious, but treatable medical condition.” Schmitt recommends watching for signs of depression in yourself and loved ones. Some signs include increased use of alcohol or drugs, decline in personal or farm appearance, reduced interest in activities, irritability, exhaustion or negative thoughts. If you observe these symptoms, you are encouraged to call the Farm Center staff, doctor or counselor who can help. “In agriculture, we’re used to the cyclical nature of prices, production and weather cycles constantly changing,” concluded Schmitt. “The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone in these challenges. The Farm Center is here to help farmers maneuver through the lows so we’re all ready when a new cycle begins.” You can reach the Wisconsin Farm Center at 800-942-2474, Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m..

We wish everyone Happy Valentine’s! We hope you remembered your sweetheart with a gift or card,maybe even a delicious meal together. For many, it’s Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. By the time you read this, we’ll be finishing up our holiday celebration. We’ll have filled our plates with all the wonderful food and goodies and enjoyed the music from our local good old boys to help make a true party atmosphere. The weekend had many events

Pipeline By Luke Thoreson Burnett Plumbing Company

Is your thermostat a DISASTER waiting to happen? Over the past few weeks, we did trouble-shooting on two calls from two different homeowners whose heating systems weren’t functioning. One of the houses had already dropped to below freezing by the time I arrived. The ﬁrst call concerned a hot-water in-ﬂoor radiant heating system with an electric boiler. The second call involved a propane forced air furnace. While these two heating systems are quite different in how they function, they had one thing in common: both systems FAILED because of DEAD BATTERIES IN THE THERMOSTATS. Most digital thermostats use batteries. Many will not send a call-for-heat signal to the furnace if these batteries are dead.

Same Day Crowns At Siren Dental we offer the latest technology available for Crowns, Bridges and Implants using digital dentistry. What does this mean for you? Only one appointment needed for crowns. Impressions are taken digitally, not with tray materials, which cause gagging. — No more sensitive temporaries —

Thousands of digital thermostats have been installed in Wisconsin homes during the last 10-15 years. Many of them have this weakness. If you have a digital thermostat, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND CHANGING THE BATTERIES ANNUALLY. This is especially important for week-end homeowners and snowbirds that are away from their homes for extended periods of time.

National Snack Food Month SUBMITTED BY: ANGELA MOULTON, BURNETT COUNTY SALVATION ARMY

This month can be a good time to take a look at what we are putting into our bodies as fuel. These days, many individuals and families keep very busy schedules. Finding time to eat regular meals can be difficult if you are working late, running from one meeting to the next, or running children to sports. Choosing healthy snack choices or wise on-the-go foods can make all the difference. Often times, the best snack choices are not the pre-packaged snacks but rather those that bring us back to the basics. Grabbing a piece of fruit, some carrot sticks, or yogurt can make better alternatives and can help fill the gaps we may miss during the day. However, what about those who struggle with getting food into their homes? In rural Wisconsin, hunger is a major issue with one in five children dealing with food insecurity in their home. Many families in our local communities are dealing with hunger on a daily basis. The Burnett County Salvation Army Backpack Program is serving children living in Burnett County who are in need of extra food over the weekends. These children may otherwise go without any food. Each backpack contains dinner items, breakfast, a snack and - of course - a fruit and vegetable. These backpacks can help supplement a family who is struggling and ensure our local students are not going without this important resource. If you would like to learn more about the BackPack Program through the Burnett County Salvation Army, please contact 715-349-8744 or visit us on the web at www.safaithhouse.org. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

You’ll feel more rested when you wake, be more productive during the day, and you’ll get more enjoyment from your recreational activities. Today’s “smart” foam mattresses are designed to cradle your body, regulate your body’s temperature, and relieve sensitive pressure points so you’ll stay asleep longer without being awoken by the typical joint pain that causes you to toss and turn. Adding an Adjustable Lifestyle base lets you customize your sleeping position which takes pressure off your lower back, helps open your airways, and often reduces or eliminates snoring. An Adjustable Lifestyle base will also accommodate any future mattress purchases. You’ll be making a one-time purchase that will improve your sleep for many years.

As we watch the financial markets, all economic indicators are pointing to an increase in interest rates soon. As those interest rates rise, the payment you will have will also rise, which in turn will limit your buying power and the choices you will have for houses. You can afford more now than when the interest rates go up. Ask your local real estate agent today how to get started in the home buying! 24157 State Road 35/70 N Siren, Wisconsin 54872 715-349-7035 • Toll Free: 888-339-3560 • Fax: 715-349-5836 Email: questions.siren@edinarealty.com

Darren and Shawnee Phernetton sang two songs for the audience's enjoyment.

Love is a curious thing. Sometimes you can’t explain it—it’s just love. We love many people without any reason—or we have a hard time defining into a single idea, character trait or quality why we love someone. Maybe we love someone for so many reasons we can’t describe how much because if we did, we’d feel as if we’ve committed an injustice by Wild Chow doing so. In addition Lisa Erickson to explaining why you love someone, try finding a special food or meal that represents that love is almost impossible.

Onion soup sets the mood for Valentine’s Day entine’s Day, which is also his birthday—no pressure there— I’d fail. I thought the best thing to do is to ask him what he wanted. He surprised me. When it comes to special holidays or birthdays, typically people will choose specialty foods not eaten often, such as special cuts of meat, vegetables prepared in a fancy way, and a delectable dessert. But my husband is not your typical kind of guy. My husband’s idea of a perfect day usually involves something sporty, something easy to cook but warm and filling, and an unpretentious dessert, all of which I am extremely grateful for. For him, it’s more about spending time together doing something enjoyable, rather than what we eat. Most people wouldn’t ask for soup for their Valentine’s Day

dinner, but when you think about it, soup is lovely. French onion is our favorite and it can be made ahead of time. It allows us to do other great things, such as spending the day cross county skiing together or going for an evening hike, or even playing a board game next to a warm fire. Make this Valentine’s Day memorable by not spending the entire day or evening in the kitchen cooking. French Onion Soup Adapted from Elise Bauer 5 large yellow onions, thinly sliced 3 Tbsp. oil 2 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 cloves garlic, minced 8 cups beef stock,

1/2 cup dry vermouth 2 bay leaves 1 tsp. dried thyme 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 Tbsp. brandy (optional) 8 slices French baguette 1 1/2 cups grated Swiss Gruyere cheese In a large stockpot, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the onions and toss to coat. Lower heat and cook the onions, stirring often, until they have softened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Increase heat and add 2 tablespoons butter; cook, stirring often, until the onions start to brown, about 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle onions with sugar and 1 teaspoon salt and continue to cook until the onions are golden brown. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the vermouth and scrape up any browned bits. Add beef stock, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a simmer; cover the pot and lower heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves. Add brandy. Serve or cool and refrigerate. When ready to serve soup, line a rimmed baking sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Butter both sides of the baguette slices with butter and toast in oven until lightly browned 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the toasts over and sprinkle with grated Gruyere cheese and bake until the cheese is lightly browned. Spoon soup into bowls and transfer one cheesy toast onto the top of each bowl and serve immediately.

BIKE TRAILS: Approved continued development ments,” Kornmann said. “Google word ads will help attract people from outside of the county.” Kornmann explained that when looking at website traffic it is important to dive into the data and see where those visits are coming from. “Half of the visitors to these sites are coming from outside of the county,” Kornmann said. “We want to know who is looking at the website.” He added that online advertisements is really where marketing money should be going. “It’s tied to seasonal homeowners,” Kornmann said. “Outside of the county is 50 percent of the traffic. These people come to the website and look at info for the county.” The BCTC is asking for $5,000 for a multi-dimensional ad campaign which intends on using Billboards, media outlets from the Twin Cities, photography, videography and Google Ad Words. “They’re looking for a multi-media advertisement plan and they have some broad ideas,” Kornmann said. “I was hoping for more detail in their plan.” Kornmann said the BCTC could be underestimating costs for photography and videography advertisements. “In the past other groups have needed to spend much more than $1,000 on photography and videography ads.” Kornmann said.

LFGS wrestlers send three on to Sectionals BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

HAMMOND—Members of the Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling team completed at the WIAA Division 2 meet at St. Croix Central at Hammond High School last Saturday. The team had a first, two seconds, two thirds and a two fourth place finishes. Brad Lucas (160) and Ben Berglund (220) each had fourth place finishes. Of Brad, Coach Chris Bartlett said, “Last year, he lost the first match of Regionals. This year he won and gave himself a chance. It didn’t work out. He wrestled half the season on one leg. Hopefully he comes into the season next year healthier.” Of Ben, “We were all excited when he won his first match of the day. It gave him a shot. He wrestles hard each time he goes out.” Thirds went to Nolan Johnson (106) and Landyn Johnson (138). “Nolan had two ranked kids ahead of him,” said Coach Bartlett. “We knew that coming in. All year he never cared who he was wrestling. He went out and gave it his all. He is going to be fun to watch the next three seasons.” “Landyn knew he had to win the match in the semi’s to make it on. He was up going into the third and was cautioned for stalling. He had to be more aggressive and was thrown in the final minutes of the match. He was disappointed, but will hopefully be more motivated for next year,” commented Coach Bartlett. Hunter Sellent (132) and Dominic Caroon (195) each had second place finishes. “Hunter always seems to turn it on at the end of the season. He had to earn his place at Sectionals by wrestling the wrestleback for a true second place. He won that match 9-6. He is in a tough weight class at Sectionals. He wrestles a kid from Medford who has a record of 30-11. We’’ll see how that goes.” “Dominic wrestled well. He wrestled his best match all season in the semi’s. In the finals, he ran into an experienced wrestler. He was wrestling hard and was caught in a throw and pinned. He has a rough draw at Sectionals. He has the number one kid in the state. We’ll see what happens.” Mikel Louis finished first at 285. “He is wrestling well right now and with a lot of confidence. I like his draw at Sectionals and think he has a good chance to make it to State. By taking first, it gives him a second place finisher at a different Regional place. He works hard and I hope he does it.” In conclusion, “I believe we took last as a team, but considering three out of seven moved on to Sectionals, that isn’t too bad. The goal is to get there and you never know what can happen. Upsets happen every year. Hopefully we have an injuryand sick-free week and are prepared for Sectionals. I hate to see a kid make a mistake and it cost him a trip to State.” Hunter, Dominic and Mikel will be at the Sectional Tournament this Saturday in Amery. First matches begin at 10:30 a.m.

GRANTSBURG—The Burnett Blizzard came from behind to narrow the scoring gap to just one, but a goal by the Northwest Icemen of Barron gave the Blizzard a 9-7 loss last Tuesday night. “We had some good plays and a lot of missed opportunities,” said Blizzard coach Rick Quimby. “I feel we out played them the entire game.” The Icemen opened the scoring at 7:57 of the first period, but the Blizzard came back two minutes later with a goal of their own by Tanner Van Meter with an assist to Lukas Hunter.

In less than two minutes in the third period, the Icemen added three goal to up their advantage to 8-3. The Blizzard were down, but not out. At 7:32, Taylor Zenzen put the puck into the net, assisted by Tanner Van Meter and Trent Zenzen. Less than a minute later, Jase Quimby scored with help by David Doty and Jared Lee.

Burnett put 41 shots on Icemen goalie Jonah Becker, compared to the 28 shots that Northwest put on Blizzard goalie Thorne Carter. The Blizzard will have entered the playoffs on Tuesday with a game at River Falls. “Our goal is to play the best hockey at playoff time. We’ll play with all we’ve got at River Falls,” concluded Coach Quimby.

JV Tears came quickly and fiercely as the sophomore girl fouled out of the game with six minutes remaining. The coach called a timeout to collect his thoughts and figure out how they were going to finish this game without her. The team found itself down by 35 points, so winning the game was unattainable, but could they even finish the game? As the rest of the team came over for the timeout they huddled around the distraught sophomore, hugging her, trying to lift her spirits. She smiled through the sobs. Coach came over and told them all how proud he was of them for working so hard. In the stands all anyone could talk about was how impressed they were with the performance of the team. This team would have to finish the game with only four girls. Before the game it was clear that this Grantsburg JV team would have its hands full with the visiting Northwestern team. The opponent was tall and had twice as many girls as did the home team. From the opening tip reality set in quickly that the girls were severely outmatched. Add to that the full court pressure the Northwestern team put on the Pirates until they had built an 18-point lead, the game was out of hand early. Sometimes the best lessons are learned when you lose. The Grantsburg squad’s exhaustion was on display early. Having only five girls to play the game combined with the full-court pressure, the girls were running on fumes halfway through the first half. They fought hard despite breathing as though they had been underwater for the past two minutes. Grantsburg called timeouts sporadically through that first half not to strategize, but to give the girls a 30 second break. They made it to the bench with red faces, sweating profusely, hands over their heads and a look of despair in their eyes. Even the Northwestern coach called a timeout to give the Grantsburg girls a break. I couldn’t help but admire these girls. Fighting and not giving up. They were playing to the best of their abilities and never took a play off. They worked like crazy on defense, which was an indicator that they cared. I’m sure they knew they were fighting a losing battle, but they cared about playing hard for one another, for their coaches and for the people that were there to watch them. But mostly for one another. When the sophomore fouled out and the crying started, it wasn’t because she had to sit the rest of the game, it’s because she felt like she failed the other girls on the court. They all knew the situation, the team would have to play with only four for the rest of the game and their exhaustion would be tested even more. They were resilient. Coach came up with a defense on the spot and the girls ran it the very best they could. The effort never stopped. It was truly a sight to see. Sports seem to have a way to teach you some of these things that may not be duplicatable in other facets of life. That night the girls learned major lessons in teamwork, resiliency, overcoming adversity, having a positive mental attitude, encouraging others, digging deep and more. Maybe the best lesson they could’ve learned, and I’m so glad my daughter was on this team, so she could go through this experience, is that they are capable of much more than they think. We are all capable of more than we think. I know it’s not at all comparable, but it helps me when I’m feeling tired or lazy to think to myself that if Navy Seals can go without sleep for essentially 72 hours, I can put more effort into whatever it is I’m doing. We are all equipped to do more than we think we can. It might be tough. We might have to play four on five for six minutes, but we can do it. And when you do it, you are rewarded by accomplishment and with healthy pride. You get to build on it. That’s how goals are met and that’s how winning is done. The Grantsburg girls JV team, though they lost the game, were winners in life that night.

Pirates too much for Dragons BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates hosted their neighbors, the Siren Dragons, on Tuesday, Feb. 6 with the hometown boys coming away with a 74-55 win. “We expect to get everybody’s best game,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “Tonight, Siren did a nice job of throwing a few things at us and I thought our guys really handled it well.” Siren jumped out to an early lead, 8-3, behind the sharp shooting of Colton den Hoed and Riley Churchill. The Dragon offense moved the ball well, looking for an opening against the 1-3-1 defense of the Pirates. Grantsburg eventually found their groove and took over the lead, which they held for the remainder of the game. Siren kept it close for the first half with the Pirates holding a 32-23 lead at the break after a put-back at the buzzer by Jared VanWatermeulen. “We missed some opportunities at the rim to start and just didnt shoot well in the first half.” Siren started hot the second half, and got the score within four before Grantsburg cranked it up and took over, racking up 42 points. The Chenal brothers, John and Leo, combined for 32 of those second half points. “It was nice to see us play well in the second half and make a big run there,” Hallberg added. “The intensity on the defensive end was key.” The Dragons were led in scoring by Nathan Kosloski with 16 points. He tallied 10 of those points in the second half, despite fouling out of the game with over four minutes left. Siren had three others hitting double digits— den Hoed chipped in 12, Kanaan Christianson with 11, including three from behind the arc, and Churchill had 10. Sequoia Bellanger added four points and Jordan Webster rounded out the scoring with two.

Pirates slay Bears BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL

WEBSTER—“They (St. Croix Falls) did a nice job in their zone in the first half,” complimented Tiger coach Rob Scherrer after the 64-43 win by the Tigers over the St. Croix Saints last Tuesday. “They slowed the tempo and made us work for each shot.” The score was knotted at 21 apiece at the intermission. Trevor Gustafson had put in 10 points to lead the Tigers. Jameson Kahl had seven for the Saints. “In the second half, we extended our pressure and played more of our style,” continued Coach Scherrer. “Jack (Washburn) and Trevor (Gustafson) each had monster games. Carsen Stenberg had a nice game especially in the second half pushing the tempo. The second half saw the Tigers pour in 43 tallies to just 22 for the Saints. Washburn put in 17 alone in the second frame with T. Gustafson adding 12. Declan Greenquist had five for the Saints. Trevor Gustafson finished the game with 22 points and Washburn had 21. “Great win for our men. We are happy at our progression toward the end of the season,” concluded Coach Scherrer.

CLAYTON—The Grantsburg Pirates traveled to Clayton on Thursday night to take on the Bears in a non-conference game, with the Pirates sailing to an easy 63-32 win. “Clayton has had a tough year, but with the tradition they have over there we went into the game expecting their best game,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “We didn’t hit a lot of shots in the first half and got a lot of guys in the game, so had very little continuity. We came out in the second half and played well the rest of the way. Austin nailed a few threes there to get us going and it energized the rest of the guys to pick it up a little bit.” The Pirates held a 25-12 lead at halftime, and then outscored the Bears 38-20 the second half to get the win. Nine players scored for the Pirates with John Chenal leading the way with 21 points. Austin Wedin had 13 points with nine of those coming from three-point land. Leo Chenal was the only other Pirate to hit double digits with 10. Tyrell Brande had five points on the night followed closely by Jared VanWatermeulen with four. Joseph Ohnstad and Jacob Phillips each hit a shot from behind the arc for three points each. Luke Anderson and Gabe Chenal capped of the scoring with two points each. The Pirates head to St. Croix Falls on Friday night to take on the Saints and will go to Cameron on Monday before finishing up the season on Thursday, Feb. 22 by hosting the Unity Eagles.

LUCK—It just wasn't in the cards for the Siren Dragon boys basketball team last Thursday night as they lost by the narrowest of margins, 64-62.

A good look happened quickly, but the ball was knocked out of bounds by Luck and the Dragons had three seconds to get off a second decent shot. Again, a quick look, but the game ended too late for the Dragons. The Dragons grabbed an early 13-6 advantage led by Nathan Kosloski's six points and Jordan Webster's five points. They expanded the lead to 19-10 before Luck clawed their way back into contention at 21-18. Colton den Hoed made two field goals which

were fouled. Again, no free throws made. Unity rebounded, shot and missed again with the Tigers getting a third rebound, but were able to hold the ball until the whistle sounded, ending the game. “It was a slug fest,” commented Tiger Coach Rob Scherrer. “Unity’s size and physicality created a lot of problems for us. Hunter Gustafson was up to the task. He plays so strong each and every night.

He is undersized each and every night, but knows how to use his body and play much bigger than his height. Coleton Peterson was tasked with defending their other big. He also did an excellent job making Unity’s bigs work for every shot.” “It was a big win for us and our program. Unity has been the powerhouse of this conference for as long as I have been here. To win on their deck is a big step for this program,” Coach Scherrer concluded.

made the score 25-18. A three point shot and two field goals by Luck knotted the score at 25. Luck went on a 10-6 run to put the halftime score at 35-31, Cardinals. Siren started half number two with an 11-2 run. Riley Churchill had six points on a three point shot, a field goal and a free throw. The scoring pout Siren back into the lead at 42-37. At the 7:54 mark, Siren had a 51-49 edge. A 12-3 Luck run reversed the tables and with 4:11 left, the Cardinals were up 61-54. With 1:22 left, Siren had narrowed the gap to 62-59. Luck made two free throws while Kanaan Christianson had a three point shot made, 64-62, Luck. Then the last six seconds written earlier in this story took place and Luck went on to win 64-62. Levi Jensen scored 23 for Luck. Jon Ruud Nathan Kosloski put in 22 for Siren Luck Boys with Colton den Hoed getting 15 and Basketball Coach Riley Churchill 12. “We're getting better,” commented Coach Jon Ruud. “At the Grantsburg game the other night, it was pretty close for a while, but it slipped on us.” “We're doing a lot of things right now where as before, we were doing them wrong. We showed pretty good poise tonight, coming back from seven down.” “We had a great look with six seconds left and a good look with almost no time remaining.” “I think Luck and Siren both benefit from playing in this conference. We've seen a couple teams up north and they couldn't beat the top three teams in our conference.” “We're excited to play smaller schools in the playoffs. We can't wait for the playoffs to begin.”

Pirates split with Dragons BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Lady Pirates hosted the Siren Dragons on Tuesday, Feb. 6 and claimed a 56-42 victory to split the season with their West Lakeland neighbors after losing 53-40 to the Dragons back on January 5. The Dragons were without their senior captain and floor leader, Abby Kosloski, who is out after having her appendix removed. Kosloski is their leading scorer with 15 points per game, as well as their leading rebounder (11 RPG) and shot blocker (3.5 BPG). “We didn’t have a great fire at the game in Grantsburg. We didn’t play well and they played way better than the first game,” Siren head coach

Ryan Karsten said of the game. “They beat us up on the boards and Ohnstad had a nice night getting to the spots on the floor where she is most successful. We were down 18-10 and made a run to tie it at 24 right before the half but couldn’t put together anything great in the second half.” The game was neck and neck until about midway through the first half when the Pirates started to slowly pull away from the Dragons. But Siren started to attack the basket on offense and clawed their way back into the game to tie it up at 24 with 16 seconds left in the first half. Grantsburg’s Brooke Quimby drove the baseline and hit a shot right before the buzzer to put the Pirates up 26-24 at the break.

In the second half, the Pirates outscored the Dragons 30-18 to seal the win and bring their conference record to 6-5 on the season. Olivia Ohnstad led the charge, scoring 19 points on the night. Quimby was next with 14 followed closely by Linda Harmon who turned in her best performance of the year with 13 points. Olvia Brock added four points with Janessa Bonneville, Grace Gaffney and Kaitlyn Robelia chipping in two points each. For Siren, Paeyton McKnight led the way with 11 points, with Cassie Maslow right there with 10. Elle Emery hit some nice shots, scoring seven points on the night. Karlee Sybers and Jaidyn Jewell had four points each with Hannah Lemieux adding three, Jalynn Nelson

two and Kyleigh Lightfeather with one. “They outplayed us on this night and that is why they won,” Karsten added. “I

thought Paeyton McKnight and Cassie Maslow played well for us, scoring 11 and 10 point respectfully. Elle Emery also chipped with seven points.”

WEBSTER—“St. Croix is a heck of a ball club and really took it to us,” said Tiger Coach Matt Wood following the 77-37 loss to the Saints last Tuesday night. “We had some good possessions here and there, and had some good defensive stops, but we just couldn't handle their physicality and speed. It was just a game where we see where we stack up and then move on. They just received the #1 Seed in our regional, so you may be seeing them in a sectional final to go to state.” St. Croix led at the intermission 44-20 led by Olivia Miron's 17 points. Brooke Hetfeld and

Hannah McDowell had six and five points respectively for the Tigers in the first half. Julia Gavin scored six points in the second frame to lead the Tigers. Addie McCurdy scored 11 for the Saints. Miron, Addie McCurdy and Emily McCurdy had 19, 17 and 11 points respectively in the game for St. Croix. Julia Gavin had eight for the Tigers with Jenna Gomulak, Hannah McDowell and Brooke Hetfeld each adding six. Eagles top Tigers “This was another game where we did some things really well at times,” complimented Coach Wood after the 73-37 setback on Friday to Unity “They (Unity) were on fire

Dragons knock off Cardinals BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—Siren's Dragons de-winged the Luck Cardinals last Thursday night by a 36-29 margin. Paeyton McKnight led the Siren squad in scoring with 10 points while Hannah Lemieux and Kyleigh Lightfeather put in eight and seven points respectively. Siren's first three buckets were all three point shots made by Lemieux, McKnight and Lightfeather. Luck battled back and took a brief 16-13 lead before a bucket by Karlee Sybers and two free throws by Lightfeather gave the Dragons the edge at halftime, 17-16. In the second half, siren scored two buckets and Luck retaliated with two of their own. McKnight hit a three point shot and then followed that up by making two of three

from the charity stripe, Siren 26-20. The Dragons finished with a 10-9 run to end the game at 36-29. The Dragons ended the game, going nine for 21 from the free throw line with Luck shooting three for 11. Luck's high game scorer was Myia Melin with 14. “It was nice to get a win tonight,” said Coach Ryan Karsten. “We played a ton of girls.” “Our defense in the second half was good. I told the girls that the first team to 35 would win. We got to 35 first and held them to less than 30.” “Lord willing, we'll get some of our sick and injured players back and we don't play until Friday so that will help.” “We''ll see where the playoffs will take us,” finished the Coach.

they could be a dark horse in the playoffs to make a run to a sectional final.”

Embrace the Love

Dave Prince Trade Lake Baptist Church

Today is Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. On this day, many will show their love for another by sending a card, giving flowers, chocolates, or another gift; others go out to a movie or a nice meal. A few may go further with gifts more extravagant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; jewelry or a trip. Imagine if someone were to pick up their beloved in a horse-drawn sleigh, taking them along a route lined with helium-filled, heart-shaped balloons, and ending up in the middle of Wood Lake where a tent has been set up. Inside the heated tent is a beautifully set table with candlelight and a string quar-

tet playing softly in the background. After a delicious meal prepared by a renowned chef, they are whisked away to Burnett County Airport where they get on a private jet to start a trip that will eventually end up in Paris for the weekend. If this was to happen, I would say someone went over the top to show their love. Then I think of my God and Savior, Jesus Christ and His over-the-top love for me. Romans 5:7,8 says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God

demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1John 4:9 states â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Friends, God loves you. Jesus died on the cross to provide forgiveness of sin and life eternal. I pray that this Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day you would really know and embrace by faith the love God has for you.
