WEBSTER BASKETBALL: Trevor Gustafson reaches 1,000 point milestone P13

Three snowmobile fatalities after trails open Snowmobile trails across the county were opened in late December. Since then there have already been two fatal accidents in Burnett County involving three victims. A 13-year-old girl from Woodbury, Minn., was involved in a single snowmobile accident on private property in the Town of Jackson on New Year’s Eve. The DNR reported she rolled the snowmobile over and it rolled on top of her. She was wearing a helmet and her injuries required medical attention, but she did die later at the hospital. Two days before on Dec. 29, Timothy, 57, and Kimberly, 56, O’Brien of Apple Valley Minn., were traveling on the same snowmobile. They were coming from dinner and travelling on Webb Lake when they went through a patch of SEE SNOWMOBILES, PAGE 2

Minnesota man charged with Tesora burglary A man from Vadnais Height, Minn. has been charged with burglary of a building, criminal damage to property, and attempting to flee an officer after being arrested the weekend before Christmas. Jonathon L. Laboda Laboda, 33, faces over 15 years in prison and possibly $45,000 in fines if convicted on both felony charges of burglary and attempting to flee an officer and the misdemeanor charge of criminal damage to property. According to the criminal complaint, on Dec. 22 around 8 a.m. the sherrif’s department was advised that there was

a man wearing a ski mask inside Tesora’s Restaurant in Siren. The man was allegedly breaking into the cash machine located inside the restaurant. The suspect drove off in what was described as a “gold colored minivan or SUV” and was headed north on Highway 35. Sheriff’s deputies then responded to the area. When they located the suspected vehicle they activated their emergency lights and “the subject accelerated rapidly.” The complaint goes on to say the suspected vehicle went through the ditch on Highway 35 and then sideways into the southbound lane of Highway 35. The department received another call from a resident on County Road D who stated that the suspected vehicle had

pulled into their driveway. Deputies followed fresh tracks that led them to an empty gold colored SUV. The K-9 officer was then called to the scene. The K9 followed the scent east. Laboda was later found in a garage on Midtown Road and taken into custody. At that point Laboda told deputies that he had swallowed a bag of heroin. Laboda allegedly had $2,930 in his pocket when he was arrested. Officers spoke with Tesora’s owner, who indicated a safe containing $2,000 had been stolen and that approximately $900 was missing from the registers. Laboda’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 9 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

Webster middle school student pens poem An intruder drill at Webster School in December sparked inspiration in one 8th grade student. While the school was in lockdown for around 15 minutes Regan Belisle wrote about the experience in a poem she handed in to her teacher following the drill. Regan said she wrote the poem because school shootings are a big deal in our society. She explained that the intruder drill was different than other drills at the school. “It wasn’t like a fire or tornado drill at the school,” Regan said. “It felt real, like a shooting could happen at my school.” Regan was raised in

Her favorite book at the moment is “Because of Mr. Terupt.” She said she handed in the poem to her teacher following the drill because it felt like the right thing to do at the moment. She writes a lot of poems about observations she makes throughout her day, but this was different. It was about pain and loss. “Even though we discuss the drill, it occurred to me that we rarely ask the

Garza case heads to trial

SUBMITTED

On Saturday Jan. 5, Jackson Fire’s dive team worked to locate and recover the snowmobile that was involved with the double fatality the previous weekend on Lower Webb Lake.

thin ice. According to the DNR, their bodies were recovered the next morning. Dan Campion of the Jackson Fire

Department dive team said the Jackson Fire dive team located the snowmobile and recovered it from Lower Webb Lake on Jan. 5. “The Wisconsin DNR would like to remind snowmobilers to always be aware of hazardous situations

and to travel with others,” Mark Little, Wisconsin DNR Recreation Warden, said in an email. “These are tragic incidents and our sympathies go out to the family and friends of those lost during the holidays.”

Man charged with two counts of attempted homicide In November, the sheriff’s office received a call about a domestic incident involving a suspect allegedly choking his 5-year-old son. The caller said she had escaped the home earlier in the day. Charles H. Beenken, 39, Frederic, has been charged with 11 counts, including two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, a class A felony. According to the criminal complaint, on Nov. 18 deputies went to the residence on State Road 48 in Trade Lake. Once inside, they noted the home had a strong odor of feces and “there were feces on the ground” throughout the house. One of the deputies saw a large pile of blankets on a bed and began pulling the covers away and discovered a child laying on the bed. “The child was bleeding from the head” and had a large laceration across his forehead. When the boy saw the uniformed officer he stopped crying and allowed himself to be removed from the scene. At this time he told the officer, “I need to go to a doctor, my daddy hurt me.” There was dried

blood all over his face. Later on, the deputy was told by EMT services that the boy had a broken orbital bone, broken sinus cavity, was bleeding in the sinus cavity and had a subdural hematoma between his skull and brain. He also required stitches on his forehead and he had hypothermia. Polk County had received a phone call from Beenken Beenken’s cellphone a short time later. Officers found him north of Townhall Road about 30 yards from the road and he was taken into custody. Officers found a marijuana pipe and 450 grams of marijuana inside the Trade Lake home. During an interview with the boy, he said he lived at the house for 200 days and that his dad beat him up. Officers also interviewed the woman caller who alerted them about the boy. She said that she

had smoked marijuana with Beenken earlier that day. The boy was watching TV when she heard him screaming for help. She went downstairs and saw Beenken allegedly pushing the boy’s face into the concrete floor and kneeling over him. The complaint goes on to explain there was a struggle between the woman and Beenken which led to his hands being around her neck. She also said that Beenken said multiple times that he was going to kill them. Beenken was also charged with two counts of false imprisonment, a class H felony, physical abuse of a child, a class C felony, two counts of felony bail jumping, misdemeanor battery, strangulation and suffocation, a class H felony, possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia. Beenken is currently in Burnett County Jail on $100,000 cash bond. He will be in front of Judge Melissia Mogen March 11 for his preliminary hearing.

Diego Garza, 44, has been in custody at the Burnett County jail for almost a year. He will finally have his day in court next week as his case, which includes seven charges, heads to a jury trial in front of Washburn County Judge Eugene Harrington. Garza of St. Paul, was in court with his lawyers last week for a motion hearing to suppress evidence. He was represented by Thomas Mulligan Jr. who was there for a motion hearing to suppress evidence including the consent that was given to search the vehicle Garza was traveling in Diego Garza that day. He has been charged with possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, a class C felony, two counts of battery to law enforcement officer, a class H felony, disarming a peace officer, a class H felony, resisting an officer, a class A misdemeanor, possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors. According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 16 Garza was in the Probation and Parole office when he was informed he was under arrest. He tried to leave the office and ended up on the ground with a sheriff’s deputy. During the altercation, multiple tasers were deployed. Garza was tased in the abdomen and the fight made its way out of the office outside. At some point, Garza gained control of the taser and began using it against the officers. Garza eventually got away from a deputy and the office’s chief deputy and ran off toward the woods near the office. In the courtroom last week they were focused on what happened next – the search of the vehicle. Burnett County Detective Julie Mead took the stand to recall the events of Jan. 16 in regards to the consent that was given to search the vehicle. She was questioned by Assistant Attorney General Amber Hahn, who is representing the state of Wisconsin in this case. Mead said she had asked Angela Cerritos, who was with Garza when they went to the Probation and Parole office, three times to consent to search the vehicle and on the third time Cerritos said yes. She said on the first day she found a reddish-brown purse that contained gem bags with crystallized residue in them. Mead also found a black jacket with an ID card inside that had the picture of a Hispanic man with the name Diego Garza on it. In court last week she could not verify it was Garza in the photo, but it did have his name. She continued to find baggies with small amounts of meth. Then two pill containers were found with over 20 grams of meth. A search of the rear cargo area uncovered .22 caliber bullets locked in a sentry safe. Also in the safe, they found an ibuprofen bottle with 172.7 grams that field-tested positive as meth. In court, Mead told the same story and then it was the Mulligan’s turn to call a witness. He called Cerritos to the stand to testify, but that never happened. Hahn advised Harrington that Cerritos has two misdemeanor cases open and could possibly incriminate herself in those cases by testifying in court that day.

During the altercation, multiple tasers were deployed.

‘I, state your name,’ A new year is more than just changing the calendar. However, I will confess I did change three calendars at work and home. This includes my most treasured calendar, a Leroy Schannauer Plumbing & Heating desk calendar here at work. My grandfather started the company after returning from serving in the Korean War. Now my uncle runs the company and I am very glad they still print them. Another thing that happens in a new year is the swearing in of elected and public officials. The swearing-in ceremony on Monday was interesting. First of all, the courtroom was packed. Secondly, I found it very funny Sentinel almost every time the judge said, “I, state your name,” because I Editor have seen the film Animal House Jonathan Richie about 250 times and always enjoy the scene when the pledges repeat the phrase verbatim. Sheriff Tracy Finch was sworn in and seems ready to take on the challenges that plague the county. She told a room full of supporters that she is ready to get to work for the citizens. Judge Melissia Mogen presided over the ceremony. When she entered the room, I noted the shock in her face to the number of people packed into her courtroom. Judge Mogen does the work of almost two judges according to the numbers. Former clerk of court Trudy Schmidt often told her committee that amount of criminal cases coming into the county was enough to merit 1.7 judges. That number is according to some statistics set up by the pencil pushers down in Madison. And then there is Joe Schieffer who was appointed by former Gov. Scott Walker, to the position of district attorney representing the state. Schieffer will hold that position for two years These three seem poised to take on all of the aspects of the Burnett County justice system.

Other Randomness Philadelphia Eagles fans are an interesting bunch. The Eagles beat the Chicago Bears Sunday. Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed a last-minute field goal that would have won the game. So naturally, after the game Eagles fans, being as petty as they come, began sending him money through the app Venmo. Venmo is a digital wallet that syncs with your bank account and allows you to share funds with friends. It’s used for things like splitting bills at restaurants or paying people back without having to hear them say, “sorry bro, I don’t have any cash.” That’s just a plain hypothetical, not at all speaking from experience. Anyway, Philadelphia fans were sending him a dollar or two. This culminated with random people creating fake Cody Parkey accounts in an attempt to fool Eagles fans into giving them money and it worked. By Sunday night, there were over two dozen fake Parkey accounts all profiting from the kicker’s misery. Maybe the Eagles will make another run to the Super Bowl and then we can watch them climb street light poles that have been coated in Crisco.

Out on a limb of the family tree Where do we come from? Why do I have freckles? Do I have extended family in other places in the world? These are some questions that cross everyone’s mind at one time or another. The answers to these questions come from your family. Hopefully, there is a family member who is alive to provide these answers, but many times the people who know have passed away. That’s one of the reasons that people do genealogy, the study of families and the tracing of their lineages and history. One of the many tools that From the Publisher’s genealogists use to trace families appears each week in the newspaper: Desk the obituaries. These summaries of the lives of people who have died Tom Stangl give dates and locations of landmark events as well as names of spouses and children, a treasure trove for those wanting to learn where they came from. Alex Haley’s novel, “Roots” and the television miniseries adaptation that aired in 1977 spawned interest in many Americans to understand where their families were before coming to America. With the onset of the internet, information from newspapers, the census, voting records and birth and death records became more widely available. Genealogy websites have appeared where people can share information and resources. But the true game changer for some has been the dropping cost of DNA testing. For under $100, a person can get their saliva analyzed and learn some genetic traits, who they are related to and where their ancestors migrated from. My youngest daughter bought one of these kits a while back and I found her results interesting. On Black Friday, Ancestry.com was selling the kits for

under $50, so my wife and I each bought one as a Christmas present to each other. I received my results on New Year’s Day. I knew my mother’s father was Irish. I knew my father’s family came from Germany. I always figured I was 25% Irish, 50% German and 25% Heinz 57 (you name the European nation, I have some of it). The Ancestry test said I was 29% Ireland & Scotland; 27% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe; 25% Germanic Europe; 11% European Jewish; 6% Sweden; 1% Norway and 1% Baltic States. I found several first cousins, who I know, on Ancestry and several third cousins. There’s quite a lot to unpack when you begin your genealogy journey. I never truly understood the appeal when I was younger, but now that I am assembling my own virtual family tree on the Ancestry website, I can’t help but get a bit excited when I am able to trace a family line back to Europe. I’m hoping to track down some family myth and legend about why some of the people left their homelands to come to America. There’s the grandparent who left Austria at the start of a war, the other grandparent who left Russia and took his mother’s maiden name after some intrigue. It would be good to figure some of these things out. And since moving to the area in 2012, I finally have some Scandinavian heritage so I won’t feel left out. Hey, it’s only seven percent, but it’s something. That might explain why I agreed to go to the lutefisk dinner. The other 93 percent might explain why I had a hard time actually eating the lutefisk.

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.

CAPITOL REPORT

WEDC worked behind the scenes to save Kimberly-Clark jobs BY WISPOLITICS.COM

The state jobs agency was operating on a dual track with Kimberly-Clark to keep its options open for saving a Fox Valley plant, even as Gov. Scott Walker said a legislative incentive package was the only solution. In mid-October WEDC had Kimberly-Clark file an application that opened the door to the agency negotiating what ultimately became a five-year deal worth up to $28 million to keep open a plant in the Fox Valley, obtained through the open records law show. Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. CEO Mark Hogan told WisPolitics.com last month that company officials remained focused on the up to $115 million, 15-year incentive deal, even as Kimberly-Clark filed the application. But he began laying the groundwork for a fallback plan in case the legislation failed. “You have to understand that this was my decision; this was the route we were going to take internally,” Hogan said in the interview. But during that time, Walker was publicly adamant that AB 963, the bill that cleared the Assembly in February but failed in the Senate, was the only

way to save the 388 jobs at the Cold Spring plant in Fox Crossing. “There is no long-term solution other than the bill that will save these jobs,” he tweeted on Nov. 15, the day after the Joint Finance Committee held a public hearing on the legislation. “Leadership requires action and failure to act will lead to losing hundreds of really good paying jobs at Kimberly-Clark.” WEDC spokesman Mark Maley said Hogan told Walker about the agency’s “parallel track” approach to Kimberly-Clark but didn’t inform legislators. That includes Senate President Roger Roth, who co-authored the bill. A spokeswoman for Roth, whose district includes the plant, said the Appleton Republican was unaware of Kimberly-Clark’s Oct. 10 submission of application materials to WEDC. Spokeswoman Angela Roidt said in late December Roth knew WEDC and Kimberly-Clark “had been in contact with each other through the entire process,” though he didn’t know “any particulars.” The documents WisPolitics.com obtained show Kimberly-Clark formally submitted application materials for tax credits to WEDC on Oct. 10, about a week after Senate Majority Leader

Scott Fitzgerald said he’d call for an extraordinary session on the incentive package after the election. Hogan said he asked the company to submit its application materials, noting that Kimberly-Clark would need to submit the information to the agency regardless of whether the bill passed in order to draft a contract. Still, he repeatedly stressed that Kimberly-Clark continued prioritizing the passage of the bill. “That was my desire. It was not what the company asked for,” he said. “Even though I kept pushing it because I wanted to be able to put something in front of them, they continued to pursue the legislative route.” Earlier in the interview, he said: “I had said to (Kimberly-Clark) sometime after Sept. 30 (that) I’m going to underwrite this both ways so if the Legislature doesn’t pass the bill for whatever reason, that we would put a statutory award in front of them.” Conversations between the agency and the company, Hogan added, didn’t start to “ramp up” until after the Nov. 14 public hearing. That’s when GOP Sen. Luther Olsen asked a series of pointed questions that added to doubts about the bill’s prospects in the state

Senate. Still, Hogan said the company continued to remain focused on the bill. Kimberly-Clark spokesman Chris Wyse also stressed the company’s efforts were “fully behind” the legislative incentive package. And he agreed it wasn’t until later in the fall — “after it became abundantly clear” that AB 963 wouldn’t pass the Senate — that discussions with WEDC “got moving.” Maley noted it’s rare for an agency-backed program to require legislation, adding that Foxconn and the Kimberly-Clark incentive package were the only projects that would have required special legislation in WEDC’s history. That means, he said, there’s no “typical” time a potential receiving company waiting on a legislative deal submits application materials to WEDC.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to say that we are very lucky to have an outstanding health care facility right here in the form of Burnett Medical Center. On Nov. 26 I went to the BMC for a double knee replacement. I was first met by my prep nurses, Lauren and Maia, their smiling faces and upbeat attitudes put me at ease. During the prep time Dr. Patrick Hall and his assistant Dennis came into explain the operation to me. Dr. Hall is an orthopedic surgeon with immense knowledge and confidence in his ability which is very reassuring. I then met Brent Kapfer the anesthetist who explained what was going to happen next. Then they wheeled me into the operating room where the surgical nurses, Vicky and Sarah, met me and Brent put me to sleep. Four hours later I was back in my room and Lauren and Maia were taking

care of me. Dr. Hall came into see how I was doing and to tell me everything went well. During the next three days I got to meet all of the nurses, Tara, Mike, Ginger, Jessie, Tammy, Michele, Kellie and Deb. All of these people made my stay at BMC very comfortable. I also met the pharmacists Keith and Eric. The occupational therapist Janelle and my physical therapist Lynn Carlson came into see me. All these people treated me like I was the only person there and I wasn’t, they all were very concerned and helpful. Dr. Lang, my health care provider came into see how I was doing. We are very fortunate that such a caring, compassionate institution is located in our town. I know that I want to thank each and every one of the fine people for what they did for me. Thanks, Jack Holtman Webb Lake/Danbury

Dear Editor, We would like to begin by thanking the Siren and surrounding community for the overwhelming support and loving sentiment we have felt during our journey with running businesses in Siren and dealing with cancer. There have been countless individuals and groups that have reached out to us with cards, gift cards for gas, individual encouragement, and much more. We have been prayed for, loved on, hugged, and generally encouraged in so many ways. It has been a humbling experience. When Jake was first diagnosed with cancer in 2016 we began pursuing selling Tesora. After being diagnosed with cancer for the second time, we felt like selling Tesora would definitely be in our best interest. As you can imagine operating a restaurant and event center has been incredibly rewarding but also requires a lot of hours. Consequently, it

about what people thought was happening with the sale. We have appreciated those people who have come to us directly to ask the status of our business. Again, we have felt the warmth and concern from the community on this matter. We have not yet come to terms with the church or any other party on selling Tesora. We will continue to pursue what is best for Jake’s health and our family. As long as we are able, we will operate Tesora and serve the community as we have loved doing the last 5+ years. We are currently making changes for 2019 including hiring a new event coordinator and planning some updates to the event center. We would like to say thank you again to the community for all of their past and present support. Our family has felt loved and we appreciate it very much. Sincerely, Jake and Holly Mangelsen Siren, Tesora

also came to our attention that Adventure Church in Siren was experiencing growth and was considering looking for a larger facility. Our conversation began with Pastor CJ and the church’s board. We verbally agreed on terms that we thought might work in the best interest of both parties. As you can imagine, transactions like this do not happen without difficulties. The church would have to ask its members if they were willing to support such a significant endeavor. It is important to let the community know that any and all negotiations with the church were done in good faith by both parties. We did not think the church was taking advantage of us while we were facing cancer. Ultimately we were hoping that a sale to the church could be beneficial to both parties and that is what we have pursued with them. As the word began to spread in the community, we heard many rumors and rumblings

Tobacco Prevention and Control Program: E-Cigarette Public Health Advisory

This health advisory is being issued by the State Health Officer to inform the public about the alarming statistics on current e-cigarette use among youth in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, current e-cigarette use among Wisconsin high school students increased 154 percent between 2014 and 2018. In 2014, just under 8 percent of Wisconsin high school students were using e-cigarettes. In 2018, that number has skyrocketed to 20 percent (or one out of every five students.) As Surgeon General Jerome Adams recently described in his Advisory Report, nicotine exposure during adolescence can harm the developing brain, which continues to develop until around age 25, and can impact learning, memory, and attention. The e-cigarette aerosol that users inhale and exhale can expose both the user and those around the user to other harmful substances, including heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs. E-cigarettes now take many forms. Some e-cigarettes resemble flash drives, while others are about the size of a credit card. E-juice bottles resemble eye droppers and vape pens come in a variety of colors and resemble pens or lip gloss. E-cigarettes can also be used to deliver other drugs, like marijuana. In 2016, a third of U.S. middle and high school students who had ever used e-cigarettes reported using them for marijuana. JUUL, a flash drive look-a-like tobacco product popular with teens, comes in kid-friendly flavors like Mango, Fruit, Creme, and Mint. There are also over 15,500 unique e-cigarette flavors available online. In Wisconsin, 89 percent of high school students say they would not try tobacco products that were not flavored. Even more concerning, the chemicals used to make certain flavors—diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione—have been shown to cause irreparable lung disease. The epidemic use of e-cigarettes is a complicated problem which requires a cooperative effort between partners, organizations, and communities. Many are already working on efforts to combat this crisis, and we now ask for redoubled efforts and increased coordination. We are all in this together. Below are recommended actions that different groups can take to address this issue. Parents • Visit www.tobaccoischanging.com to learn about the new tobacco products

Emergency Services would be the main reason the county would buy a drone - to locate people stuck on rivers and possibly ﬁnd wildﬁres.

County discusses possible drone purchase The Public Safety committee discussed buying a drone to assist with emergency services across the county at their meeting last week. The topic was brought up by Emergency Management Director Jim Tolbert. He told the committee that last year he applied for a grant through the National Parks Service which would allow the county to purchase a drone with federal funds. “Then the federal government shut down and the grant expired,” Tolbert explained. The drone he was looking at purchasing comes from a Chinese company, DJI. “On January 20 they will release a new version. It has an infrared camera and is a major leap ahead in technology,” Tolbert said. “It’s $3,200 for the entire package.” The package includes the drone and the software that will allow Tolbert to view images from the drone on a tablet. He said it’s an excellent price because some of the infrared camera’s cost $6,500, alone, without the drone.

He is doubtful the National Parks Service will offer the grant again, but County Supervisor Gene McLain pointed out that emergency services could pool resources to buy the drone. “We’ve got eight fire departments in the county, along with the police departments and the sheriff’s office,” McLain listed. “They should be able to come up with $3,200.” Committee Chair Gerry Pardun said a drone would be a major asset to the county. “We’ve got people that get lost out on these rivers,” Pardun said. “This could be a real help in finding those people.” Tolbert pointed out that not only finding them is a struggle, but also locating a way to rescue them. Tolbert explained he is in the process of training to get his FAA license of unmanned air crafts. “I would be the one operating,” Tolbert said. “We wouldn’t want a firefighter or a policeman using this when they could be doing something more important at the time.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Christmas had a smell, it would be like these cookies!â&#x20AC;? This sentiment, spoken by a resident of Northwest Passageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prairieview facility, added humor to an already enjoyable day at Northwoods Bakery Cafe in Frederic. During the month of December the owner of the bakery, Maria Booher, invited youth from Aspen, Willow, and Maple Units to spend time in the kitchen to create sweet holiday treats. The kids rolled the dough, cut the cookies and helped with the baking, making it feel like Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even while away from home. Northwest Passage, a residential mental health treatment program for children with programs based in Webster and Frederic, Wisconsin, welcomes the opportunity for their residents to find connections in their community. While some of the kids were able to spend a portion of the holiday season at home with their families, some of the kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a safe environment to return to, or arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to return to the pressures and temptations of their lives outside Northwest Passage. Baking cookies for the holiday season made it feel just a little more like home for some of these kids. Northwoods Bakery Cafe, located at 115 W. Oak Street in Frederic, is a full-service bakery and cafe featuring daily specials and great coffee. The bakery is open daily and offers fresh bread, rolls, pastries, birthday cakes and cupcakes in addition to their delicious and festive holiday cookies. In addition to hosting Northwest Passage kids for holiday baking, the Northwoods Bakery Cafe currently employs two Prairieview residents part-time, allowing them to work in their community and earn some extra pocket money.

Dinner in an instant? No, but in half the time. Life is easier with modern conveniences. I’m usually not the first one to buy a new gadget. I like to see what people think before I fork over money for another thing that will use precious kitchen cupboard space. I’ve seen a few things come and go so fast, I’m glad I didn’t waste my money on stuff like Wild Chow the Robo Stir or the quesadilla or Lisa Erickson doughnut makers. Pans and spoons are much faster! Plus, you can put them in the dishwasher. If I’m going to try something, it has to make my life easier. I was hesitant to spring for an Insta Pot. It’s the size of a slow cooker and I already have two of those.

However, I was really interested when I found out it’s a slow cooker, sauté pan and pressure cooker all in one. You can make rice in a couple minutes, and I was shocked at how fast it cooks beans, which usually takes me almost two days; I don’t make them often because of that. Maybe you got one for Christmas or you have a pressure cooker (You don’t need an Insta Pot to pressure cook). There are tons of recipes online now. I’m hooked and my slow cooker has been pushed to the back of the cupboard. I’m happily cooking in minutes such foods as beans, wild rice, and lentils that require much longer when cooked conventionally. Some recipes call for not soaking the beans, but I think they taste better. Some legumes such as lentils aren’t affected by soaking.

Quick Pinto Beans 1 lb. pinto beans 3 strips bacon, uncooked and sliced 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp salt Rinse and pick over the beans, removing any little stones. Soak beans in water about 4 hours. Drain and rinse. Put beans into the pressure cooker or Insta Pot with remaining ingredients. Add enough water until it is about 3 inches above the beans. Set the Insta Pot on high pressure and cook 5-6 minutes. Quick release the pressure (Move the dial from sealed to vent). Otherwise, follow manufacturer’s directions. Serve.

Walker plans to give speeches, advocate for conservatives SCOTT BAUER

MADISON—Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday that after he leaves office next week he will join a speakers’ bureau to travel the country and talk in new ways about conservative issues, while helping in the effort to reelect President Donald Trump. The details about his future plans were the first Walker has given publicly since he lost his bid for a third term in November to Democrat Tony Evers, the Wisconsin state superintendent. Evers replaces Walker on Monday. Walker, in a New Year’s email to his supporters, even made a plug for himself saying, “be sure to consider requesting me for meetings, conferences and other events across the nation.” Walker said he will join a speakers’ bureau and “focus on new methods to articu-

late a conservative message” while advocating for lowering taxes and overhauling the tax code. Walker made his name nationally during his first term when he effectively ended collective bargaining for public workers and defeated a recall attempt. He cut taxes by $8 billion over eight years, while enacting a host of conservative priorities, before running for president in 2015. He dropped out shortly after Donald Trump got into the race. Walker, 51, has been in public office for 25 years including the past eight as governor. His loss to Evers was his first since 1990, when at age 22, he first ran for the state Assembly. After his loss to Evers, Walker was coy about what he would do next. But he revealed some of his general plans in a New Year’s email sent to his supporters on

Tuesday, saying he intends to continue living in Wisconsin with his wife and near his grown sons, his mother, and his brother’s family. “We will broaden our scope with an additional focus on returning power to the people in the states — from a federal government grown out-of-control,” Walker wrote. “That is the best way to Drain the Swamp on a permanent basis.” While advocating for “draining the swamp,” Walker said he also plans to help re-elect Trump and help with candidates and causes in Wisconsin over the next two years. Walker said during his re-election campaign that he wouldn’t run for president again. In his email message, he doesn’t rule out future runs for office, saying only “We will see where God leads us in the future.”

Solar energy project divides rural Wisconsin county DODGEVILLE— Residents in a rural Wisconsin county are split over a Chicago developer’s plan to work with two Wisconsin utilities to build a solar farm that would include more than 1 million solar panels. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that the Badger Hollow Solar Farm proposed by Invenergy would cover 2,700 acres in Iowa County and could power more than 70,000 homes. The project is seeking a permit from the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. Ken Wunderlin, a southwest Wisconsin farmer, said he agreed to have part of the solar

farm on his land because it’s a good financial move. He believes it’s also a chance to get involved in a more environmentally friendly source of energy. “I’m a firm believer in the science on global warming,” he said. “We need to be taking steps to get away from coalfired power. this is my small opportunity to be a participant.” Renewable energy advocates have hailed it as a way for utilities to produce low-cost, clean energy within the state while providing some $1.8 million a year in rents for hard-pressed sharecroppers like Wunderlin.

“We think of it as a complete win for the state of Wisconsin,” said Michael Vickerman, policy director for Renew Wisconsin. “We’re talking about renewable generation completely located within the state of Wisconsin. It is clean. It is quiet. It yields a great deal of financial benefits to the landowners and the surrounding communities.” But not everyone in Iowa County is welcoming the development. Richard Jinkins, a southwest farmer who lives just east of Wunderlin’s land on a 400-acre farm, said he’s worried that the farm will destroy the area’s scenic

beauty, take up valuable farmland and cause the county’s 23,687 population to drop. Jinkins, along with two other nearby farmers, are leading the charge against the project as it goes through the permitting process with the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. “In the best case (it’s) going to make a solar panel wasteland where nobody’s going to live,” said Jinkins, a computer programmer who also raises cash crops. “It’s not going to be the Driftless area. It’s going to be the utility district of southwest Wisconsin.”

Regan’s mom, Kris Beebe, was incredibly proud of her and not just because of what she wrote but also the courage to turn it in to the teacher after the drill. “It was a real proud mom moment for me,” Beebe said. “She’s always been a real wise person and an old soul. Since switching schools, she has really shined.” She also said she was proud of her daughter because she is paying attention to the world around her. “I think it’s great that she’s taking note of things around her,” Beebe said. “She’s paying attention to the news and the world we live in.” Her mom says she writes a lot. She says she writes a lot of poetry. “I was really impressed that she is thinking like that, trying to understand the student’s point of view on the topic,” Beebe said. “It’s just such a proud moment for me and I cannot wait for her to receive more and more recognition for her talents as a writer.”

E-cigarettes and vapes and JUULs, Oh my! MARY BOE PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR WESTERN WISCONSIN WORKING FOR TOBACCO FREE LIVING

Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, are a relatively new tobacco product that have been sold in the U.S. for about a decade. The e-cigarettes currently in the U.S. market have not been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to determine their impact on health. However, studies show that using e-cigarettes does cause health risks by containing and emitting a number of potentially toxic substances. E-cigarettes almost always contain harmful ingredients such as nicotine. Acrolein, another known ingredient of many e-cigarettes, causes irreversible lung damage. There is no difference between e-cigarettes and JUULs. JUULs are just a type of e-cigarette. E-cigarettes are battery powered and deliver nicotine through a liquid which turns into an aerosol. The e-liquids come in a variety of different flavors that appeal to youth. The most popular e-cigarette among teens is JUUL. JUUL is discrete, it contains nicotine salts that do not produce vapor or visible emissions when the device is used and looks like a USB drive while other e-cigarettes may look like phones. All JUULs contain some nicotine – something many youth don’t realize. One JUUL pod, the e-liquid cartridge, may contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes making the product even more addictive. Youth who use e-cigarettes are especially at increased risk for asthma and life-long nicotine addiction. E-cigarette use is an epidemic. According to the 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey, between 2017 and 2018, current e-cigarette use increased by 78 percent among high school students and by 48 percent among middle school students. In 2018, more than 3.6 million middle and high school students were e-cigarette users – an alarming increase of 1.5 million students in just one year. The increase in e-cigarette use has driven a 38 percent increase in use of any tobacco product among high school students. According to the FDA, no e-cigarette has been found to be safe and effective in helping smokers quit. If you need help quitting please talk to your local health care provider and/or call the Wisconsin Quit line at 1-800-QuitNow (800-784-8669). “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

It was another successful food and toy drive at Webster School. This year the food and toy drive provided food and toys to one hundred and two families in the Webster School District. The food and toy drive was started by Chuck Macke in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s. It has been a tremendous success and has gotten bigger and bigger over the past forty years. Thanks to the Danbury Fire and Rescue and their generous donations we have been able to help so many more families. This year the Danbury Fire and Rescue, lead by George Costello, was able to donate $7,000 to our cause. This allowed us to grocery shop for one hundred and two families and to provide each with a gift card to Wayne’s. The Webster Student Council would like to thank the Danbury Fire and Rescue for their generous donation to help us provide food for families and toys for their children. The Student Council was also thrilled to get donations from Zia Louisa. Zia has been helping with this cause for a few years and it is great to have them involved. Wayne’s grocery store was also a part with their generous donation of hams for our food baskets. Another big thanks to Zia and Wayne’s for their help. We were also lucky enough to get a generous donation from Toys for Tots and we thank Kathy Eckstrom and Toys for Tots. The last part of this was the students at Webster Schools participated in a coin war that ran for three weeks. Students carried buckets for each class and any coins in the buckets counted for the class and any bills in the buckets counted against them. This was a huge success as a total of $1,000 was raised. Without sounding redundant, the Webster Student Council would like to thank all those groups that helped make this year another huge success. A big shout out to the Danbury Fire and Rescue for all the help you have given us over the past ten years!! We couldn’t do this without you. We are looking forward to next year’s food and toy drive and even bigger and better things.

Gustafson reaches milestone, Tigers beat Dragons points coming with 1:17 left in the game on a short field goal. The game was stopped temporarily as Gustafson was recognized for his accomplishment. “All our guys bring something to the table,” stated Coach Scherrer. “We don’t have many weaknesses. It’s really fun coaching these guys. They are great to work with and they come ready to practice every day. It’s fun to see them blossom. They just get better and better each game and I hope it carries over. There’s a lot of tough teams in this area, this region and our conference.” Of Carsen Stenberg, Coach Scherrer said, “When you see his go-getter attitude and motivation of the team, he’s a pretty good leader.” Hunter Rosenbaum added 17 points in the game. Coleton Peterson and Jack Washburn scored 11 and 10 points respectively. Nathan Kosloski led the Dragons with 10.

WEBSTER––It isn’t very often one basketball player reaches 1,000 points in a career for a team. For Webster, an even greater rarity happened on Friday night. A second player scored 1,000 points in a career in the same season. Trevor Gustafson scored 33 points en route to an 84-30 win over the Siren Dragons. “We have two very special kids,” said Coach Rob Scherrer of the Tigers, referring to Gustafson and Jack Washburn (who reached the landmark earlier this season). “They are outstanding players and outstanding young men.” Getting back to the team, Coach Scherrer said, “We’re starting to get healthy and to get fast. I don’t think teams realize how fast we are. I think we shocked Siren a little bit. “We tip our hat to Siren. They worked hard. They are a well-coached team. I think we’re just a hair better than them right now.” The Tigers ran off 17 tallies before the Dragons got their first score on a three point shot by Nathan Kosloski at the 9:07 mark. He also scored Siren’s next seven points on two field goals and a three point shot. Webster went into halftime with a 4313 advantage.

Pirates get dramatic win over Saints STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS—If Grantsburg Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg had any questions about the heart and determination of his team heading into Friday’s game at St. Croix Falls, they were all answered after an exciting, dramatic finish in which the Pirates fought back to get a 64-62 win over the Saints. “We maybe won a game that some say we shouldn’t have won, but that just shows you the kind of kids we have,” Hallberg stated. “We never make excuses, but I’m not sure I’ve coached a team that has battled as much adversity in the first ten games to start a season as these guys have.” The Pirates have battled injuries all season and are still without senior guard Luke Anderson who is recovering from a football injury. And, freshman standout Carson Knutson sat out this game with an injury. This was also the first game without senior post player Leo Chenal who has graduated early to enroll in classes at UW-Madison and participate in the spring practices and workouts with the Badgers football team to prepare for the 2019 season.

Everyone stepped up to fill the open shoes, with all seven players getting into the scorebook— four of them scoring in double digits. After a good start, the Pirates soon found themselves in foul trouble with three players with three fouls and one with two fouls. They were forced to lay off a bit defensively, and were down 32-39 at halftime. Grantsburg struggled offensively early on in the second half, and were down by 15 at one point before battling back into the game. Their stifling defense forced several SCF turnovers which the Pirates were able to take advantage of as they chipped away at the Saints’ lead. The tipping point came with 2:29 left in the game with the Pirates down by three, 57-60. Joey Duncan stole the ball from SCF’s Trevor LaMirande who fouled Duncan as he tried to retrieve the ball. This was LaMirande’s fifth foul, and out of frustration he flung the ball down the court after the call, causing the official to call a technical. Duncan missed the front end of the one-and-one, then Austin Wedin stepped to the charity stripe to shoot two shots for the technical. He made them both to bring the Pirates within one at 59-60. On the ensuing inbounds play, the Pirates worked the ball inside SEE PIRATES ON PAGE 14

battling. “Jenna’s (Gomulak) night was phenomenal. We had one of the shortest rebounders on the court and she played big. This was a huge game for us.” The Dragons jumped off to a quick 10-2 lead before the Tigers went to work. In a little over a minute, Webster knotted the score at 10 on a free throw by Gomulak. “The first team to 30 at the half would win it,” said Coach Wood as he related to the conversation he had with Siren coach Ryan Karsten before the game. Siren got to 30 first on a bucket by Kyleigh Lightfeather, but Webster scored three times more (six points) and Siren once (on a free throw) to give the Tigers a 32-31 edge at the intermission. The Tigers were up 46-41 at the 12:07 mark on a three point shot by Makena Buffington. The Dragons tied the score at 50 with 7:31 remaining in the game. With 80 seconds remaining on the clock, Buffington made another three pointer and the Tigers were down 58-55. They called a timeout to plan the last minute’s strategy. Webster fouled three consecutive times and sent the Dragons to the line six times. Only two shots went through. Siren then fouled and Webster made both free throws and then Gomulak and Mosher got their buckets to win the game. “We went up against their press,” related Coach Wood. “We got some pretty good looks and settled down when we got into foul trouble.” “It was a grind, but the kids stepped up,” he concluded. Coach Karsten shared, “We missed 21 free throws. They got four wins. We got four wins, but we lost one game on a buzzer beater. They scored six points in the last 20 seconds and we got one. “Our girls played hard and that’s all you can ask for. Our girls battled and didn’t give up. “It was a good game and now we get ready for next week,” he concluded.

to Jared VanWatermeulen who banked in a shot to take a 61-60 lead. The Pirates scored again when Gus Bergman was fouled and sent to the line. He sunk two shots to put his team up 63-60 with 39 seconds left to go. The Saints answered with a bucket of their own to bring it within one at 63-62, but they were forced to foul and chose to put Wedin back at the line. Wedin hit one of his foul shots to make it a 64-62 game. That is where it would stay, giving the Pirates their fourth conference win of the season. “It was good to see us battle back and find a way to win the game,” Hallberg said. “We

hit some big free throws and made some keys plays on the defensive end late in the game. Everyone had a part in how we closed out the game, which is good to see.” Gabe Chenal was the top scorer for the Pirates with 13 followed by Bergman with 12. VanWatermeulen and David MacKean added 10 points each. Duncan was next on the list with eight points followed closely by Wedin with seven. Tyrell Brande rounded out the list with four. “We have another good test on Friday night versus Unity, who is playing pretty well after a slow start to their season,” the coach added. The Pirates will host the Eagles on Friday. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

New Year, new life

Pastor Mike Peterson Faith Lutheran in Grantsburg

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new year. Big deal! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this before and aside from numbers changing on our desk calendarâ&#x20AC;Śitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still the same old life. Which is good news for many of us; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything new, we are comfortable with the old way. Paul writes about new life. 1 Corinthians 5:16-19â&#x20AC;Ś (NIV) â&#x20AC;&#x153;16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ

and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.â&#x20AC;? This is good material from which to piece together a New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resolution! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try a few ideasâ&#x20AC;Ś. Perhaps decide that this year you will look at others through the eyes of Jesus? Maybe this is the year to mend fences (reconciliation) with those with whom you have had bitter disagreements? Try something new this yearâ&#x20AC;Śbe honest with yourself and with othersâ&#x20AC;Śspeak the
