Grantsburg board discusses salt and sand JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

After a major winter storm in December local businesses were calling the village office about salting and sanding their parking lots. “That is something that we have never done since I’ve been here,” Public Works Director Chris Bartlett told the village board Monday night. “We got about eight calls from businesses asking us about it.” It was mentioned that in the past the village would go around and salt/sand certain local parking lots, but Bartlett said their equipment doesn’t allow them to access narrow parking lots. Trustee Michael Longhenry said when the village gets those types of phone calls they should be re-directed to a private business. “We shouldn’t be taking business away from private businesses,” Longhenry stated.

Passing of the axe in Webb Lake JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

WEBB LAKE—Former Webb Lake Fire Chief Ben Keup was honored last week with a golden axe for his years of service to the community. Keup is retiring as chief and is handing the reins

to Mike Hemquist. Last week the Webb Lake Fire Department held their annual holiday party at The Cabaret in Webb Lake. “It’s a night everybody takes off. It’s something we all enjoy and get to relax,” Hemquist said. He added that the Scott Fire Department

monitors the Webb Lake area this one night a year. “Doug (McCreadie) watches over our area, it’s a great thing we can offer these volunteers.” Keup was honored with a ceremonial presenting of the axe. Hemquist said it is important for him in his time as chief to recognize past fire-

fighters and officers for their time serving the community. “The gold represents Ben’s status as chief, it’s the better version of a plaque,” Hemquist said. “When I became chief I wanted people to be recognized for their work with the Webb Lake Fire Department.”

Man arrested in Closs abduction BY JEFF BAENEN AND GRETCHEN EHLKE

BARRON—A 21-year-old man shot a Wisconsin couple to death at their home in a scheme to kidnap their teenage daughter, then held the girl captive for three months before she managed to escape in an isolated north woods town, authorities said Friday. Jayme Closs, 13, was skinny, disheveled and wearing shoes too big for her when she approached a stranger and pleaded for help Thursday in the small

town of Gordon, where Jake Thomas Patterson lives. Patterson was apparently out looking for her when he was arrested and jailed on kidnapping and homicide charges, Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said. The news that Jayme was safe set off joy and Jake Patterson relief 65 miles away in her hometown of

Barron, population 3,300, ending an all-out search that gripped the state, with many people fearing the worst the longer she was missing. “My legs started to shake. It was awesome. The stress, the relief — it was awesome,” Fitzgerald said, describing the moment he learned Jayme had been found. Jayme told one of the neighbors in Gordon who took her in that she had walked away from a cabin where she had been held captive.

“She said that this person’s name was Jake Patterson, `he killed my parents and took me,”’ said another one of the neighbors, Kristin Kasinskas. “She did not talk about why or how. She said she did not know him.” The sheriff said investigators are trying to figure out what happened to Jayme during her captivity and why she was seized, and gave no details on how she escaped except to say

Patterson was not home at the time. He said there is no evidence Patterson knew Jayme or her family or had been in contact with her on social media. “I know all of you are searching for the answer why any of this happened,” Fitzgerald said. “Believe me, so are we.” The sheriff said that he did not know if Jayme had been physically abused but that she was hospitalized overnight for observation and released after an exam. Investigators were still interviewing her, and she was “doing as well as circumstances allow,” he said. Kasinskas called 911 to report the girl had been found after another neighbor out walking her dog encountered Jayme and brought her to Kasinskas’ house. Minutes later, Patterson was pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy based on a description of his vehicle Jayme provided, authorities said. He was scheduled for an initial court appearance Monday. It was not immediately known whether the unemployed Patterson had an attorney. Jayme’s grandfather, Robert Naiberg, said he had been praying for months for the call he received about his granddaughter. “I thought, `Good for her she escaped,”’ he said. Jayme disappeared from her home near Barron after someone broke in and shot her parents, James and Denise

Closs, on Oct. 15. The sheriff said investigators believe Patterson killed them in order to abduct the girl. Patterson tried to avoid leaving evidence at the scene of the killings, taking such steps as shaving his head beforehand, the sheriff said. A shotgun

similar to the one used in the shootings was recovered from the home where police believe Jayme was held, the sheriff said. Property records show that the cabin belonged to Patterson’s father at the time of Jayme’s disappearance.

Patterson worked for one day in 2016 at the same Jennie-O turkey plant in Barron as Jayme’s parents, Jennie-O Turkey Store President Steve Lykken said. Patterson quit the next day, saying he was moving from the area, Lykken said. But the sheriff said it did not appear Patterson interacted with them during his brief time working there. Patterson had no criminal record, according to the sheriff. He graduated in 2015 from Northwood High School, where he was on the quiz bowl team and was a good student with a “great group of friends,” said District Superintendent Jean Serum. Kasinskas said she taught Patterson science in middle school, but added: “I don’t really remember a ton about him.” “He seemed like a quiet kid,” she said. “I don’t recall anything that would have explained this, by any means.” The woman who first spotted Jayme on Thursday, Jeanne Nutter, said she was walking her dog along a rural road when a disheveled girl called out to her, grabbed her and revealed her name. “I was terrified, but I didn’t want to show her that,” Nutter, a social worker who spent years working in child protection, told The Associated Press. “She just yelled, `Please help me! I don’t know where I am! I’m lost!”’ Nutter took her to the home of Peter and Kristin Kasinskas.

Jayme was quiet, her emotions “pretty flat,” Peter Kasinskas said. Jayme told the couple she didn’t know where she was or anything about Gordon, a town of about 644 people in a heavily forested region where logging is the top industry. From what she told them, they believed she was there for most of her disappearance. After Jayme vanished, detectives pursued thousands of tips, watched dozens of surveillance videos and conducted numerous searches. Officials recruited 2,000 volunteers for a huge ground search Oct. 23, but it yielded no clues. Fitzgerald said in November that he kept similar cases in the back of his mind as he worked to find Jayme, including the abduction of Elizabeth Smart, who was 14 when she was taken from her Salt Lake City home in 2002. Smart was rescued nine months later after witnesses recognized her abductors from an “America’s Most Wanted” episode. Smart said in a telephone interview that Jayme’s story is “why we can never give up hope on any missing child.” “It was only a few months ago that we as a community gathered to pray for Jayme’s safe return at Barron High School,” Barron County District Attorney Brian Wright said at a news conference. “God has answered those prayers.”

Equipment ﬁre could lead to upgrade for Highway Department JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Flames engulfed Grantsburg house A house on Wisconsin Avenue in Grantsburg was fully engulfed in flames and smoke in the afternoon on Tuesday, Jan. 15. It is the same house that caught fire last April. Fire Crews were battling the flames for over 30 minutes. Grantsburg Fire Department, Siren Fire Department, Pine City Fire Department and Burnett County Sheriff’s Office were first on the scene. No other details were available at press time.

While doing what should be routine right of way work a Highway Department skid loader caught fire. The operator was able to exit the vehicle without injury. “We had an unfortunate situation,” is how Highway Commissioner, Mike Hoefs, explained the incident to the infrastructure committee last week. He said that while doing routine right of way clearing in the Town of Jackson, the department’s Bobcat Skid loader caught fire. The operator smelled something burning and exited the cab safely. “It could have been caused by debris or something electrical,” Hoefs said. Hoefs has contacted the insurance company and is expecting a brand-new replacement skid loader. “We’ll get a new one at no cost,” Hoefs said. He explained he has reached out to numerous

manufacturers including John Deere, CAT and a few others. The department is expected to stick with Bobcat because of their municipal discount. “All of these companies offer a municipal discount, but theirs is $3,600,” he reiterated. The charred machine is a T770 model, but Hoefs is looking at upgrading to a Bobcat T870. “It’s the biggest one they make,” Hoefs said. “We’re looking to buy the forest-

ry package with it as well, it seals in the unit. In case there is a tree flying back at them, it’s fully surrounded by heavy duty glass. Hoefs said if the insurance doesn’t fund the upgrade he will still explore the option of purchasing the T870. The T770 model is $4,600 less than the T870 and he thinks general funds could cover the difference.

Can corporations be petty? How is your winter going? It has not gotten devastatingly cold yet, but y’know how these things work – now that I have said that, it will be negative 10 degrees outside for a week straight. Like most Americans I spend a majority of the winter inside and some of that time I devote to the video streaming service Netflix. I have a funny story to tell. My best friend is kind of a tech wizard and loves a good joke. He had given me his Netflix password to use. So one time he downloaded this app that allowed him to hide his phone number. It allowed him to send text messages from his phone but the recipient would get a text message from a Los Angeles area code phone number. So out of the blue I get a threatenSentinel ing text message from an 661 number. The text stated something like, Editor “we know you are sharing netflix Jonathan Richie passwords and we are contacting you to cease and desist or we will be taking legal action against you. We will also be charging you the past months usage” I was in college (had no money) at the time and he was the only person who knew I was using it, so something seemed fishy. I was also tipped that a multi-billion dollar corporation would be texting me and would forget to capitalize their own name. So I sent back a text saying, “I don’t have a bank account so good luck getting your money.” My buddy then sent me a text message from his real phone number saying how great it was that I stood up to this faux-corporate account. But it turns out those messages may be real in the near future. Although Netflix has said they don’t plan on going after password sharing, the technology is real. You may have seen the news this week that an artificial intelligence company based in the United Kingdom, Synamedia, that can track down illegal sharing of login credentials for active accounts across many streaming services. Their software apparently knows if you are using someone else’s login information or if you’ve sold your Netflix password online to a stranger. This all started in 2016 when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that sharing a password (not a Netflix password) violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Josephine Wolff of Slate simplified it and explained Netflix passwords do not really apply to the CFA Act. “If you resign from an executive search firm to start your own, competing executive search firm — and later ask your former executive assistant to provide her username and password so you can access proprietary information from your former employer — then that’s probably very illegal.” I guess the moral of this story is continue stealing from corporations until they specifically tell you it’s illegal.

Time to put out the welcome mat Nestled in the news headlines last week was an item about a report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the birth rate in the United States. There were 3,853,472 births in the U.S. in 2017 — down 2 percent from 2016 and the lowest number in 30 years. The general fertility rate From the Publisher’s sank to a record low of 60.2 births Desk per 1,000 women between the ages Tom Stangl of 15 and 44 — a 3 percent d drop ffrom 2016, the CDC said in its tally of provisional data for the year. The results put the U.S. further away from a viable replacement rate – the standard for a generation being able to replicate its numbers. The birth rate has been below the replacement rate for nearly every year since 1971. This isn’t news to anyone who has been paying attention to what has been going on in our society. The “Baby Boomers,” born after World War II and into the early 1960s, have had fewer children than their parents and some people are waiting longer to have their families. Institutions like the workforce

and social programs, like Social Security, are now are will soon be feeling the pinch of fewer working age adults. Help wanted signs are everywhere as the boomers begin to retire in numbers that cannot be easily absorbed. While technological gains have eliminated some jobs from the workforce, a skills gap continues to develop. Careers commonly known as “the trades” – welding, plumbing, carpentry – are desperately looking for persons to fill jobs. A dated, negative connotation for these jobs has kept some parents from accepting that their children can have good paying careers in these fields. There has been some positive movement in recent years to dispel these stereotypes. Social Security is a different issue. Boomers have paid in to the system, which has been used as a piggy bank by the federal government for decades and have seen the retirement age moved back. Younger workers will be paying their taxes to support these retirees in hopes that something will change by the time they reach retirement age. The United States is not unique in this birth rate challenge. Nearly every industrial nation is facing the same issues, even though the world population continues to grow. Immigration is seen by some as a way to help bridge the gap.

When discussing immigration, it is important to have some historical perspective. With very few exceptions, we have all descended from immigrants. Nearly every ethnic group met challenges, fear and harassment when they arrived. We hate and fear what we do not understand, it is human nature. It is especially challenging when people don’t look like us and speak a different language. Eventually, the melting pot that is America embraced and absorbed these newcomers. If we are going to meet our need for workers and taxpayers, we will need to welcome immigrants. These immigrants will need to enter the country legally and assimilate into our society. It won’t be easy, but it is essential to our nation. We need to become educated about our needs, much like we needed to educate people about the good jobs in the trade industries. By welcoming people who want a better life, we can improve our own. It’s what we do in America. As always, I welcome your comments.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

CAREGIVERS CORNER by Barb Blodgett

Assembly Republicans increase staff, despite losing seat

While new Gov. Tony Evers is calling for bipartisanship, leaders in the GOP-controlled state Assembly are fighting over office space and staff. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who has said he wanted to staff up with Evers taking over the East Wing, has added seven positions to his office. He did so by pulling in positions from the chief clerk and sergeant at arms’ offices. Vos has used the new positions to hire three former staffers in Gov. Scott Walker’s administration. What’s more, numbers Minority Leader Gordon Hintz obtained from the clerk’s office and shared with WisPolitics.com show Vos also gave his chief of staff a more than 20 percent raise. Hintz has been critical of Vos over four of his Democratic members sharing two offices this session, compared to two sharing one in 2017-18, even as Republicans lost a seat in the November elections. He also questioned why Vos was hiring more staff on top of that. But Vos countered his office will still have the same number of positions it did before. “Now we’re just going to have them more accurately reflect what they’re really doing and who they’re working for as opposed to this construct where they’re on the chief clerk’s roster but they really work every day in this office or Gordon Hintz’s,” Vos told WisPolitics.com on Jan. 9. Of the seven new staff positions, two were housed in the chief clerk’s office last session, even though they were already under Vos’ direction, while the other five were vacant. The speaker also has a computer specialist who remains in the clerk’s office but works under his direction. Altogether, it’s 14 staffers, compared to five approved for the minority leader, not counting a computer specialist in the clerk’s office who works under Hintz’s

direction. Vos has used the new positions to hire: former state Rep. Joe Handrick, who served as consultant to Republicans as they redrew legislative lines in 2011; Heather Smith, whose experience includes serving as Walker’s Medicaid director; and Evan Bradtke, who worked as a senior policy adviser. Smith is classified as an administrative officer, a designation often used for legislative chiefs of staff. That position comes with a maximum salary of $104,316, which is what Smith is being paid, according to the numbers from Hintz’s office. Meanwhile, Vos created a speaker’s chief of staff designation that comes with a maximum salary of $126,720. Vos chief of staff Jenny Toftness is currently at $123,432. Vos said Toftness’ salary is now more in line with what the governor’s chief of staff makes.

Altogether, it’s 14 staffers, compared to ﬁve approved for the minority leader, not counting a computer specialist in the clerk’s office who works under Hintz’s direction. Altogether, Vos’ office payroll is now more than $800,000 even with the two positions left to fill. That works out to an average salary of $73,149. “The Republican caucus is smaller. Yet they continue to take more offices,” Hintz said. “They have one less member. Yet they have more staff.” Assembly Republicans came into the session with a 63-36 majority, though the seat of Kenosha Democrat Peter Barca is now vacant after he resigned to join the Evers administration. Vos also rebuffed concerns he’s

consolidating staff in his office to create a shadow caucus in an effort to counterbalance the Evers administration, noting the governor gets more than 250 direct appointments, while Vos is filling five vacant positions. “I don’t really think that’s an accurate comparison,” he said. The overall Assembly GOP payroll is $6.8 million with an average salary of $52,434, compared to $2.8 million for Dems with an average of $43,809, according to the Hintz numbers. Hintz called the office situation an “abuse of power.” Twice as many Assembly Democrats are currently slated to share Capitol offices in the upcoming session even though Republicans have one less member than in 2017-18. Incoming Democratic Reps. Jodi Emerson, of Eau Claire, and Staush Gruszynski, of Green Bay, will be in 15 West. Meanwhile, freshman Milwaukee Democrats Marisabel Cabrera and Kalan Haywood will share 16 West. But Kit Beyer, a spokeswoman for Vos, said Democrats were given alternatives that included putting members in an office now used by the Democratic caucus graphic designer and space formerly known as the speaker’s annex. Hintz’s office said it didn’t consider it the speaker’s prerogative to offer the graphic designer’s office since it already houses an Assembly Democratic staffer. “The Assembly Democrats were offered a number of options and had they made use of them, they would not have to have anyone sharing offices,” Beyer said.

Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County has had an amazing 2018 and we are looking forward to an even amazinger 2019. You may think that isn’t really a word, but it is, I googled it. In 2018 we hit a milestone and Heat a Home delivered its 1,000th load of firewood to help families heat their homes. That was just in the past five years, before that there were many more. Christmas for Kids coordinator, Odette Holter, made this year’s project our biggest and least stressful ever. We provided gifts for 459 children and 185 families. Our Furniture for Free program picked up and delivered furniture and household goods to many people who were in need. The Food Delivery program provided 816 families with food. Denny is now reading this with the rest of you and is cringing about the numbers. The wood program and Christmas for Kids numbers are right on, but I am only guessing about the food deliveries, I am sure that number is low. There were also the rooms we provided to homeless and displaced families, food for those who were in need, fuel for those who needed to travel and also fuel for heating homes. My favorite things to do are nursing home and in-home visits and I can’t even count the many times I was able to visit people. I kept a running account of mileage, but in the mess in my office, I can’t find the file with that information. Let’s just say it was many, many miles. With many volunteers and lots of effort, Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County made a difference to the people who were in our county. I am so proud of what has been done. I would love to acknowledge everyone who donated this year and especially those who donated to Christmas for Kids, but I don’t have the space to do that, so I just want to say thank you to all of you. As many of you know, this will be my last article as Director of Interfaith. Larry and LuAnn Ebersold took over the position as of January 1st. The transition has been a difficult one for me. This company started small and I’ve been the director for most of the growth. Our company has become so much more than we ever expected and we were able to make a difference in Burnett County. I will always be a part of Interfaith by volunteering and Larry and LuAnn have made my retirement easier by calling to ask about company policies and letting me know I am still part of the organization I love so dearly. I have faith they will be a great addition to Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County. I personally want to thank everyone who made my job fun and rewarding although not always easy. Our volunteers are the best, most dedicated people you could ever know. Once again, I can’t write a list because I don’t have space or especially the memory to name everyone. Needless to say, our volunteers are wonderful and faithful and I am proud to have been able to work with them. Now, pay attention, I want to make it very clear, DENNY IS NOT RETIRING. He will still be the coordinator of Heat a Home, Furniture for Free, Food Delivery, and Christmas for Kids. With all of this said, I wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year. Many thanks to everyone and blessings to all, Barb

Committee hopes to buy 360 acres from Ducks Unlimited JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

The Natural Resources committee was quite surprised by the land acquisition project that Forest Administrator Jake Nichols brought to their monthly meeting last week. Nichols said that Ducks Unlimited is looking to sell

360 acres, in the Town of Lincoln, to the county for public forest land for $12,000. “What’s the catch?” was committee chair Ed Peterson’s response. Nichols said that Ducks Unlimited has the property, that is surrounded by county forest. “They buy property to preserve it, but they don’t

want to own it,” Nichols said. “They often sell it back to county forests. The only catch is no permanent roads allowed on the property.” County Supervisor Craig Conroy said, “if there is 50 cents of timber on that land let’s do it.” Peterson said that it was great for the county. Nichols said it still needs

to be approved by Corporate Counsel, Dave Grindell, and the Wisconsin DNR. He added that he does not see any reason why they would not approve the purchase. The committee passed a motion to let the acquisition request go to the full County Board.

BMC Foundation Annual Valentine’s Dinner

On Saturday, February 9, 2019, the Burnett Medical Center Foundation will host its tenth annual Valentine’s Dinner and fundraiser at Tesora’s Event Center in Siren, Wisconsin to benefit expanded healthcare in our area. Last year we enjoyed a wonderful evening of food, music and fun which was attended by more than 260 people. As the Foundation begins its eleventh year in operation, we are so grateful to have giving people in the area of our medical center—people like you who

are involved in our community and support worthy organizations like the BMC Foundation. In our ten years of operation we have been able to raise over $233,000 to fund many improvements that the Medical Center would not otherwise have been able to accomplish. This would not be possible without people like you, people who give! We hope you will consider being part of our effort by sponsoring a table, making a silent auction donation, and/or purchasing tickets to attend the event. This

year we are seeking attendance of 300 people and an expanded silent auction with some great prizes. We trust that, like us, you value the fine healthcare facility available in our area and want to continue the growth of services and capabilities we can provide right here, close to home. Tickets are available for purchase at Community Bank and Yellow River Pharmacy or by contacting Halle Pardun at (715) 463-7285. The last day to purchase tickets is Friday, January 25, 2019.

Webster officials running unopposed in spring election JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

WEBSTER––Webster held it’s caucus before their monthly meeting last week. On the ballot will be Jeff Roberts for Village President. Trustees Tim Maloney, Darrell Sears, and Charlie Weiss are running unopposed for the three trustee seats. After the caucus the board held a short meeting mostly consisting of public comments. One of comments came from Adam and Rachel Derosier. They had purchased property in Webster believing they had gone through all the proper steps before buying the property. They were surprised by the tax assessment they found last year. Adam explained there was a $1,600 assessment on their taxes that he did not know about. Maloney understood the issue right away and explained the same thing happened to him last year. “I ended up just splitting the bill with the village and that’s how we worked it out,” Maloney said. The Derosier’s agreed with that decision.

Do you ďŹ nd yourself using your kitchen sink as a garbage disposal? If so, it can be problematic. Oils and fats poured down the drain, especially during winter months, can raise havoc with your drains. Once temps drop, the oils and fats become solid, clogging your drains and creating even more problems. Consider wiping down any pans with paper towels if cooking with oil. For bathroom sinks, toothpaste, soap, hair and other things can raise havoc too. Try to catch any large clumps or debris before these get swooshed down the drain. Properly disposing of oils (and other things) will help a drain remain clear and healthy for years! If your drains are slow or "always have been" as long as you can remember, consider calling Burnett Plumbing to have them cleaned out.

VILLAGE BOARD: Spring ballot set for Grantsburg election CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Meyer said they were getting calls and had no idea who to they should direct the calls to. The board discussed a couple of options and will now direct calls about salting or sanding ice to private businesses in the area. Plowing of roads was also on the meeting agenda but was never addressed. LIBRARY YEAR IN REVIEW Kristina Kelley-Johnson, Director of the Grantsburg Library, brought some numbers to the meeting to highlight the spectacular year the library had. She explained the reason she had the numbers was so she could send them off to the State’s Department of Public Instruction to be included in their annual report. She reported that 41, 872 people visited the library in 2018. That number was compiled thanks to a counter at the front door of the library. Kelley-Johnson also said they offered a total of 273 programs with over 5,000 attendees in last year. “It was a pretty good year for us at the library,” she said. The library is currently setting up a long range committee to come up with a plan for 2020-2025. She said they are getting surveys ready for the community to give

Gandy Dancer back in the spotlight

their input on what they would like to see the library do in the future and how to better serve the community. SPRING ELECTION The spring ballot is set for the board. There are four trustee seats up for election and the office of village president will be on the ballot. Village President Larry Ebersold is not seeking another term as and neither is Gary “Goob” Coy. Longhenry is running for village president and incumbents Diane Barton and Russ Stone are both running for trustee. Challengers Joseph Sturdevant and Leo Janke are running for trustee. AIRPORT MANAGER Scott Hanson attended the meeting as a representative of Rod Kleiss. Kleiss is interested in being the airport manager at the Grantsburg airport. Hanson said as the airport gets busier, especially in the summer, Kleiss would act as a liaison for the airport. “He would be the guy a pilot could call and say, ‘Hey my plane’s not working, I need some help,” Hanson said. The board was open to the idea but said they would need to meet with their insurance agent to check on liability issues and they also would like to meet with Kleiss and ask him a few questions.

SIREN—The topic of opening up the Gandy Dancer trail to ATV use during the summer months is once again being discussed by the Siren Village board. Village President Dave Alden said last week that the board will approve a resolution next month to support the County Board if they decide to open up the trail to ATV use. Members of the board including Alden already thought they had signed a resolution backing the county if they decide to open the trail. Village clerk/treasurer Ann Peterson confirmed they did not have any resolution on the topic. The Gandy Dancer trail is open to ATV and snowmobile use in winter, when there is adequate snow coverage, and in the summer is designated mainly for biking and hiking. Alden also stressed that regardless of their decision, “this issue is going to fall into the County’s lap” and it will ultimately be their

decision whether or not to open the trail for ATVs. In May a large group of citizens, mostly bicyclists, came to the Village Board to discuss the topic and asked that they keep the trail as it stands. There has also been a newly formed group, Friends of the Gandy Dancer Trail, that saw the current situation in Polk County. Polk County officials are set to vote on opening the trail for ATV use (in the near future) Mark Pettis attended the meeting and said “it would be a real shame if they have to turn around at the county line if Polk County opens up the trails for ATVs.” The board plans on bringing a resolution to their February meeting and voting on it at that time. LOAN FOR ROAD WORK The village’s streets and utilities committee met last month and recommended borrowing $400,000 for 2019 road projects, street maintenance, and street lighting. Public Works Director Jim Jaskolka explained the

money would go towards road work on N. 4th Ave., Southshore Drive and Main Street. {Since they didn’t have all of the financial information prepared the immediate impact the loan will have on the taxpayer was not known.} Peterson said that she received initial numbers from three area banks and told the board that U.S. Bank came in with the lowest interest rate of 3.25 percent. Trustee Jim Pearson speculated that the work would not begin until August or September. IN OTHER ITEMS: The board held their caucus before the meeting. Dave Alden was nominated for Village President. Trustees Jan Hunter, Todd Schultz and Rick Engstrom were nominated for re-election. Paul Reimer was also nominated for a trustee seat. The election will be held on April 2.

WILD CHOW

The world’s newest oldest food Indian food is the new go-to healthy food. In 2018, a food trend report by the popular Waitrose gourmet grocery chain reported that Indian food would top the list of foods consumers were likely to choose in the UK and beyond in the next few years. Many Americans are trying to cut back on their meat consumption and more vegetables. Indian food is healthy, and a lot of it is vegetarian. Indian food has been growing in popularity in the US for several years, and consumers can now find Indian cuisine based restaurants, grocery stores, and food trucks across the US in both large and small towns. As early as 1909, the Chicago Tribune reported Americans have been interested in the new and unfamiliar flavors typically found in Indian cuisine like curry and garam masala. Many of the spices in Indian foods are native to India, and early on, most Americans couldn’t find or afford them. Cardamon, saffron, cinnamon, turmeric are commonly used in Indian recipes, and are some of the most ex-

pensive spices. Curry is a mix of spices like turmeric, coriander, garlic, and ginger, but there are many variations in the recipe mix. Curry is the most common and popular spice mix used in “American” Indian foods. It’s now more available at grocery stores. In 2013, new research methods were able to Wild Chow detect residual curry on dirty dishes that Lisa Erickson were estimated to be over 4,500 years old, dating the origins of the food’s popularity much earlier than expected. Previously, it was believed that trade between India and Europe introduced curry, but that was only 500 hundred years ago. According to experts, that would make curry the oldest continuously made food in the world. So the next time you eat curry you’re eating a very old slice of history!

SPICY COCONUT CURRY VEGETABLE SOUP Serves 6 | 400° | Prep time: 25 minutes | Roast and cook time combined: 1 hour 1 Tbsp ghee (Butter melted without the whitish solids) or use regular butter 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 small knob ginger, peeled and grated 1 Tbsp red curry paste 1 Tbsp turmeric 1 tsp salt 1 dash cayenne pepper 2 large potatoes, chopped 3 large carrots, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 1/2 head cauliflower, broken apart 3-4 cups vegetable broth, or enough to cover vegetables. **2 cups butternut squash, chopped and roasted (See directions below) 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk 1 red pepper, chopped 3 cups hot cooked rice for serving 6 sprigs cilantro

In a large Dutch oven, heat the ghee or butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until tender; about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add ginger, curry paste, turmeric, salt, potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower. Cook until vegetables are tender; about 25 minutes. Add the roasted squash, coconut milk, and return soup to a low boil. Remove from heat; serve with chopped red pepper, hot cooked rice, and cilantro if desired. **The butternut squash’s flavor will be more pronounced if it is first roasted separately. Preheat oven to 400°. Peel and chop squash into bite-size pieces. Toss squash with 2 tablespoons melted butter on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly salt and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender. Add to soup, when the soup is finished cooking.

Students to experience culture and biology in Costa Rica

MENUS Jan. 21-25 Note: Breakfast available at all schools Choice of milk available at all schools.

Grantsburg Schools

Eleven students and two teachers from Grantsburg High School will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture and biodiversity of Costa Rica during their upcoming spring break, with the help of a $1,100 donation from the Grantsburg Rotary Club. March 15-24, students in Señora Katie Johnson’s Spanish classes and Matthew Berg’s Biology classes will experience daily life in San Jose, Costa Rica where they will get to see rich biodiversity as they hike in Quetzales National Park in central Costa Rica.

Trapped Teens JOAN SPENCER DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AT COMMUNITY REFERRAL AGENCY

The names have been changed in this story, but the events are real. Sixteen year old Georgie was working her part time job at a mall kiosk. She planned to meet her friend after her shift. With just two minutes left, a couple came up to the kiosk. After looking at the merchandise, the man complimented Georgie on her looks. The woman went on to explain they owned a modeling agency and told her she could easily make thousands of dollars modeling. The man said they were leaving to go home tomorrow, so they would need to get the pictures today. Georgie didn’t hesitate, she clocked out and went with the couple. Two weeks have passed since that day. Georgie never did get her modeling pictures taken. She was sold to the highest bidder. She was forced to endure unspeakable acts. When she wasn’t with her “owner”, her hands and feet were bound. Her “owner” repeatedly told her that if she tried to run or talk to anyone, he would harm her family— forcing her to comply with his torture. Georgie was so frightened that something would happen to her family, she was determined to put up with whatever happened to keep them safe. One night, at the local truck stop, Georgie approached a trucker and asked him if he wanted company, just as her “owner” instructed her. He nodded and they walked to his semi. Once they were locked in the vehicle the man turned to her and asked if she was in trouble. She started to cry and within minutes the trucker had called the local authorities. Georgie was lucky, this trucker belonged to the Truckers against Trafficking, an award winning group that trains truckers to identify human trafficking victims. (www.truckersagainsttrafficking. org). Georgie was reunited with her parents. She will have to work through the emotional scars, but is alive to live out the rest of her life. Her “owner” was captured and charged. The couple that initially abducted her remains at large. Approximately 300,000 children are at risk of being sex trafficked in the U.S. Sex Trafficking is a $99 BILLION dollar industry and can affect any gender, ethnicity, age or economic level. Most children come from “normal” homes and go to school regularly, but are groomed to fear repercussion if they do not cooperate.

Our driveway has become very slippery so be very careful when walking from your cars. By the weather reports, this will be getting worse with the rain and snow coming in after Christmas. None of us need to fall and break bones. Abby Brand’s memorial was held at our center on Friday, Jan. 11th. All the flowers made our center beautiful. Our deepest sympathy to her family. We had our monthly potluck on Thursday. As usual, we had a big assortment of food and more than enough. It is fun to have potlucks so we have time to visit with friends. Sue Christensen was the lucky winner for the dollar bingo. I think she got $20.00. She must be lucky as

she won the big pot some other time. Our 500 winners were Tim McNitt, Sue Newberger, Butch Connor, Gerry Vogel and Tom Christensen. Jim Anderson and John LaFond shared the 9 bid. Spade winners were Jim Anderson, Sue Newberger, Roger Greely and Carl Link. Tim McNitt was the 9 bid winner. Dates To Remember Jan 17 – Monthly meeting. Jan 21 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day Feb 2 – Groundhog Day Feb 4 - New Moon Feb 14 – Valentine’s Day.

Walking is sure tricky on all this ice. Hope everyone stays safe. Walk like Tim Conway, in other words shuffle. There were 15 players for bingo and Harry and Ann split the big pot. We play every Wednesday at 12:30, there is always room for more, come join the fun. I think there is a trend setting in Wii bowling. Bill B had high individual game and series, 300 and 579. Deanna’s boys had high

team game and series 813 and 1574. Splits picked up were: Bernie 4-5, Gladys 5-7 and 3-9-10, Curt 3-5-10, Joanne 9-10 and LaJuana 5-7. Our condolences go to the Brand family in their loss of Abby. She will surely be missed. Just a reminder that we will be having a garage sale in early April and are accepting clean gently used items that you don’t know what to do with. If you haven’t had a lunch at the

center, come give it a try. Nikki serves delicious meals. Stop in and pick up a menu. The center is for rent on weekends for birthday or whatever party. To be a voting member the dues must be paid by March 31. Remember: The past is your lesson. The present is your gift. The future is your motivation. See you at the center.

JANUARY 16, 2019 www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Over 60 bald eagle nests in county There are 67 bald eagle nests in Burnett County, according to a recent study. The 2018 Wisconsin Bald Eagle Next Survey, found there are 1,695 bald eagle nests across Wisconsin, a record number for the state. Burnett County has the fifth most nests among Wisconsin counties behind Grant (81), Crawford (101), Onieda (154) and Vilas (172) counties. “2018 was another great year for the bald eagles’ remarkable comeback in Wisconsin,” says Laura Jaskiewicz, the Department of Natural Resources research scientist who coordinates the statewide aerial survey effort. “The number of nests is still increasing throughout the state and we now have them documented in 71 of 72 counties.” The 2018 surveys found a total of 1,695 bald eagle nests occupied by breeding adults, an increase of 105 nests from 2017. That’s a 6.6 percent increase and more than 16 times as many nests found in the first detailed surveys in 1974, when bald eagles were listed as state and federally endangered species and only 108 nests were documented. As in past years, Vilas County with 172 nests and Oneida County with 154 nests had the highest totals. Bald eagles prefer to nest in tall trees along water, and these two counties have some of the highest concentrations of freshwater lakes in the world. “It doesn’t seem like we’ve hit any ceiling yet,” Jaskiewicz says. “Eagles are still finding places to nest, some continuing in the same nests for many years and some new ones popping up here and there.”

for residents to report potential bald eagle nests in southeastern Wisconsin. “Citizen reports were a big help this past year. There were a handful of reports that helped confirm new nests while other reports identified nests that we didn’t know about previously,” Fandel says. “It’s great that so many people are interested in eagles and their continued success and population expansion in the state. It would not surprise me if we learn of other new nests in southeastern Wisconsin in 2019.” Confirming the Walworth County nest means that Milwaukee County remains the lone county in the state without a known active eagle nest. Fandel said the heavily developed nature of Milwaukee County means there is relatively little bald eagle nesting habitat available (when compared to surrounding counties) and that it is less likely a nest will be documented there. “That being said, it’s certainly not impossible. In areas like the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota, bald eagles are doing quite well and the Minnesota DNR has documented dozens of active nesting territories,” says Fandel. It’s a testament, at least in part,

to the species’ adaptability, she says. Depending on the individual bird(s), some appear to be more accustomed or tolerant to human activity. “Time will tell if eagles stake their claim in Milwaukee County, but if Minnesota’s “urban” eagle population is any indication, there’s certainly a precedence to suggest it could be on the horizon for Milwaukee, Fandel says.

How the survey information helps protect bald eagles and other survey results The 2018 Wisconsin Bald Eagle Survey also contains results from the 2018 winter eagle survey conducted by DNR staff and many volunteers, and the report details a new effort in Dane County using volunteers to help monitor nests from the ground to see if the eagle nests produced young and if they fledged. The Madison Audubon Society is leading that pilot program. All of the eagle survey information allows DNR and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to monitor eagle populations and enables DNR to provide up-to-date information to land owners, companies, and communities that have an active nest on their property, so they can avoid disturbing the nests and eagles during breeding season.

Eagle-eyed citizen reports Walworth County nest While the aerial nest surveys were conducted in March and April by DNR conservation biologists and DNR pilots, the nest documented in Walworth County was reported by a private citizen. Sharon Fandel, a DNR district ecologist with the Natural Heritage Conservation program, went to the site and confirmed the nest. Fandel put out a call last year

Drunken driving ﬁght begins again in beer-soaked Wisconsin MADISON — A handful of Wisconsin Republicans are hoping new Democratic Gov. Tony Evers will help them finally criminalize first-offense drunken driving. Wisconsin is the only state in the nation that doesn’t treat a first offense as a crime. Instead it’s a traffic ticket. Two Wisconsin Republicans — state Rep. Jim Ott and Sen. Alberta Darling — have introduced a bill that would make a first offense a misdemeanor. Evers says he supports criminalizing a first offense. The push to criminalize a first offense might look like a can’t-miss bipartisan initiative, especially after Utah dropped its legal limit to 0.05 percent in December. But Republican leaders wary of crossing the state’s powerful tavern league and saddling first offenders with a criminal record say the plan is a non-starter.

A person found the backpack off State Highway 147 on Wednesday and alerted authorities. Deputies determined it to be an explosive device with a fuse that appeared to have been lit but didn’t burn to the end. Authorities say it appears the backpack was thrown from a moving vehicle but they don’t know why. Investigators are working to get fingerprint or DNA evidence from the backpack and its contents.

Grantsburg holds annual Women of Tomorrow luncheon BY KASSIE MULLINS

The Women of Tomorrow hosted their annual luncheon with the junior class of Grantsburg girls last Wednesday at the Crex Convention Center in Grantsburg. The two-part event, put on by the school, is a unique opportunity for young girls to learn about business etiquette, personal care, career opportunities, and planning for their futures. The first part of the event took place weeks ago where the girls loaded up with representatives from Women of Tomorrow and headed over to the WITC campus in Rice Lake. There, the girls spent the day taking a class on manners and etiquette in the world of work along with a fun treat where the WITC Cosmetology Department gave the girls a professional workplace makeover that

included hair styles and manicures. The second portion of the event was the luncheon hosted at the Crex Convention Center where mentors from many different professions came and enjoyed a 3-course meal with the girls. There they explained to them the good, the bad, and the ugly of their jobs. The girls were each seated at tables with careers they were most interested in so that they could ask questions that would be pertanant to them. As the students and mentors moved on to dessert, Burnett Medical Center’s very own Nurse Practitioner Melinda Dye addressed the crowd. Dye grew up herding cattle on her family’s ranch and knew from a young age that she wanted to go into Nursing so she could be like the nurse that took care of her mother when she was sick. “Dreams don’t go away at a certain age. It takes sweat, determination and hard work to make them a reality. It doesn’t matter where you come from or how you grew up, you can and will find a way to make your dreams come true,” Dye stated while opening her speech. She encourages students to find what it is that they are passionate about and then follow whatever path that may lead them on. She also mentioned that you should always strive to keep your life balanced between work, community, and your social life. “Continue to grow to succeed and start where you stand. The time may never be right to begin something which is why you should just go for it when you feel called. As you continue to chase your career dreams and

aspirations, don’t forget about your family and what you like to do outside of work.” Dye is an avid quilter, musician, artist, and pet lover. She has a large 120-pound dog that a patient gave her that loves to go for walks almost daily. Suzie Retzer wants the girls to be well-informed of all the pros and cons that come along with each of the mentor’s professions. “We want to girls to get a well-rounded view of the positions that interest them most. That’s why this is so important, because it gives them the opportunity to ask questions and determine if they really do want to go into that particular profession,” Retzer said. After the pasta meal, drawings were held for both the mentors and students.

The event and door prizes were sponsored by Kozy Kitchen, T-Dawgs, and Country Café on Main. As Dye wrapped up her speech she ended with this, “Since it is still close to New Year’s here are what my resolutions look like for this upcoming year: 1) Find someone who makes you laugh. 2) Be grateful and kind, always. 3) Cherish every moment you’ve been given. 4) Take time to watch the sunrise 5) Find your tribe 6) Hug your friends and grandchildren as often as you can 7) Teach your children well 8) Find the good in every situation 9) Be fierce and pray every single day 10) Count your blessings”

Pirates fall to Eagles in double overtime BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates boys basketball team suffered their first conference loss of the season on Friday night in a heartbreaking double overtime loss to the visiting Unity Eagles. The teams were knotted up at 58-58 at the end of regulation and again at 62-62 at the end of the first overtime period. The Eagles held a one point edge over the Pirates, 66-65, to steal the win when the final whistle blew. “We started both halves exactly the way you need to, but we did not close either half the right way,” Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg said. “This game kind of defines our season. We need to be consistent to be the team we want to be. There were a lot of situations late in the game that needed to be played differently.” The Pirates jumped out to an early lead behind the hot hand of Austin Wedin who hit two big shots from behind the arc early on to get his squad and the fans fired up. Grantsburg held the lead throughout the first half, at times by double digits, before the Eagles made a late half charge. At the break, the hometown boys held a 26-21 lead over the Eagles. The Pirates held onto the lead until the 6:00 mark in the second half when Unity tied up the score at 47. They took their first lead of the game at 50-49 with 4:40 left to go in the game. Both teams started to rack up fouls and the Pirates had the first casualty

when Wedin fouled out. At that point he had hit four three-point shots and was a perfect four for four at the foul line. The Pirates found themselves down 56-58 with 20 seconds to go, when Tyrell Brande hit a shot to tie it up at 58 and

send the game into overtime. Both teams scored just four points in the first OT, sending it to a second overtime period. Again, the Eagles tallied four while the Pirates only scored three despite some strong offensive play to

end the game at 65-66. Unity’s Jaxon Flaherty scored all eight of the Eagles’ overtime points on his way to a game-high 43 points. Neither team shot well from the charity stripe during the extra minutes. The Eagles only hit one of four, while the Pirates were two of five despite shooting an impressive 10 of 13 during regulation. Jared VanWatermeulen led the Pirates in scoring with19 followed closely by Brande with 18. Wedin was good for 16 before leaving the game. Gabe Chenal and Gus Bergman eached tallied five with David MacKean adding two. The Pirates are now 4-1 in coference play, good for a second place standing behind the 5-0 Webster Tigers. “We’re hanging in there, which is good to see,” Hallberg added. “We were able to get through last Friday night at SCF and were hoping to just get through tonight with a win as we continue to work through the loss of Leo (Chenal) halfway through the season.

Dragons sink Trollers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN––-The Bayfield Trollers sailed into town on Monday and expected to tow a win home, but the Dragons were fired up and Bayfield went home with a loss, 70-45. “We needed a game like this,” said Siren coach Jon Ruud. “We did a lot of good things. When we play for 36 minutes, we play very well.” With just less than two minutes gone, Siren had a 6-4 lead and called for a time out. After the break, Siren went on a 10-1 run to make it 16-5 with 11:40 left in the opening half. Nathan Kosloski had four of his game high 35 points during that spurt. Bayfleld called time with 5:41 left in the half after the Dragons had built a 41-19 advantage. Kosloski had added 18 more tallies which included a crowd-rising dunk. By the time the intermission came, the Dragons were up 45-22 and Kosloski had 25 points to his credit. Five minutes into the second half, Bayfield had slightly lessened the game to 51-31 which prompted the Dragons to call time. After the time out, the Dragons went on a 15-3 spurt which basically ended the game. “We've got a couple days of practice and then we'll have a tough game on Friday (vs St. Croix Falls).” Riley Churchill added 12 for the Dragons. Phil LaPointe led the Trollers with 10 points. Siren shot six for 11 from the free throw

Tigers sink Vikings ship BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

FREDERIC––“We came out and got into our own pretty early,” commented Tiger boys basketball coach Rob Scherrer following Webster's 76-42 win on Friday night. “It's a long season and sometimes it's hard to get a high school athlete up for every game on the schedule. After four minutes of play, the Tigers were up 15-2 thanks in part to Trevor Gustafson's seven points during that time frame. Hunter Rosenbaum had a bucket and both Coleton Peterson and Jack Washburn each had a three point shot fall home. At the half, Gustafson had 18, Rosenbaum 10, and Owen Washburn eight. “Frederic did a nice job of rebounding, especially Adam Drier on the offensive end, but otherwise we got pretty well what we wanted.” “We didn't want to run up the score, so we wanted to work the ball around and try to get inside,” shared the coach. “Owen (Washburn) did a nice job for us tonight and Carsen (Stenberg) came off the bench and played well. It's fun to watch all these guys play and you don't know which one is going to have a good game. One

Tigers defeat Eagles in conference action BALSAM LAKE__ The Webster Tiger boys team kept rolling with a hard fought 5240 win over the Unity Eagles last Tuesday night. “It was a battle tonight,” exclaimed Tiger coach Rob Scherrer. “You have to tip your hat to Unity. They got us out of our game. They were able to slow the game down and did a nice job of rebounding against us.” “In turn we were never able to really get out and run. The best thing about tonight is we found a way to win. It’s not always going to be sunshine and rainbows through the course of a long basketball season, so to not play well and still find a way shows the fight of this team.” It was close at the half with Webster maintaining a 24-20 edge. Trevor Gustafson had 12 and Hunter Rosenbaum six to lead the Tiger scoring. Jaxon Flaherty led the Eagles with eight, In the second half, Rosenbaum took over the scoring leadership with 10 with Tanner

I am obviously happy we got the “W,” but we need to work on being more sharp on the road.” Both Hunter Rosenbaum and Trevor Gustafson had 16 apiece for Webster. Jaxon Flaherty ended the night with 11 for Unity.

Sometimes they get too fancy, but ...” Trevor Gustafson finished the game with 20 points. Jack Washburn had 13 with both Owen Wash-

burn and Hunter Rosenbaum finishing the game with 10 apiece. Webster shot nine for 10 from the free throw line. Frederic's high scorers were Oscar Lahti and Logan Lillehaug with 11 points apiece. Webster will have played at Hayward on Tuesday, will host Grantsburg on Friday and will travel to Luck next Tuesday.

SIREN––A good first half and a struggling second half gave the Siren Dragons an 83-65 set back to the Luck Cardinals last Tuesday. Coupled with the struggles, Cardinal Levi Jensen scored 48 points for his team. “We had a pretty good first half,” said Dragon coach Jon Ruud, “and we went cold in the second. We did a really good job of making two, thee four passes, and then things stopped happening for us.” Siren was up 19-13, the last three points via free throw shots by Kanaan Christianson. Then Luck put in three consecutive buckets, one of which was a three point shot, which then forced Siren to call time out. Scoring was basically even up to the intermission with the Dragons up 44-42. Nathan Kosloski had 13 points in the first half. Jordan Webster added 11 and Christian-

son put in eight. Four other Dragons scored in the first half. Jensen had 22 by the midpoint of the game. Five other Cardinals had numbers in the score book. Time outs were called at the 13:04 and 11:44 marks of the game with the Dragons down by four at both times. After the second time out, Luck went on a 16-6 run to go up 69-55 and had control the remainder of the game. “(Levi) Jensen kept on scoring (for Luck) and we went from 44 points in the first half to 21 in the second.” “We got better, though. We did do some things pretty well. For us it's maintaining a playable game,” continued Coach Ruud. “We have a lot of thing we'd like to do, but we've go to get to the basket. We are going to get better.” Nathan Kosloski finished the game with 24 points for the Dragons with Jordan Webster adding 11.

Foul trouble hurts Pirates in loss to Warriors BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Lady Pirates hosted a tough Amery Warrior squad on Tuesday, January 8 dropping this one 27-75. The officials’ whistles were busy, and the Pirates paid the price with their top scorer, Olivia Ohnstad, forced to sit a majority of the first half after picking up three quick fouls. The young Pirate squad missed her leadership on the court, and the other “elders” in Brooke Quimby and Olivia Brock worked hard to fill the void, but both struggled with foul troubles as well. Brock tallied three first half fouls with Quimby picking up two. Starter Sarah Chenal also collected three fouls in the first half. All three had to spend their share of time on the bench forcing several young players to step up, and the Pirates were only able to come up with six first half points. The second half was better as they nearly quadrupled their first half points, adding 21. Ohnstad was aggressive on offense, driving the lane while racking up 14 points. Quimby recorded the other seven points of the half for a total of nine for her on the night. Brock and Chenal were the other two scorers, each pitching in two for the night.

FREDERIC––Frederic Viking Hannah Schmidt scored 26 points to help propel the Vikings to a 6245 win over the Webster Tigers on Friday night. “We fought and clawed back,” said Tiger coach Mat Wood. “We were not ready for their inside game. We tried to take some chances and they really took it to our posts.” The Vikings started to exert themselves with 13:30 left until the half when they led the Tigers 7-6. Frederic moved out to a 21-10 advantage on four field goals, a three point shot and a pair of free throws. The Vikings led the Tigers 31-21 at the intermission with Schmidt having 18 points to that mark. Julia Gavin of the Tigers had six with both Mahi Mosher and Brooke Hetfeld adding five apiece. Frederic scored an additional 31 points in the second half to the Tigers 24. Kalyn Robertson led the Vikings in the second half with 10 which included two three point shots. Gavin had eight points in the second half. Hannah McDowell went seven for eight from the free throw line. “Once we got the rotation down, we stayed pretty well with Julia on

Gavin totaled 14 for the game for the Tigers. McDowell had 10. The Tigers will have gone to Lake Holcombe on Tuesday and will host Grantsburg on Friday. Next Tuesday, they will travel to Luck.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates girls basketball team met up with another tough competitor in the Unity Eagles on Friday as they continue this tough stretch in their schedule. They are in a four game stretch against teams (SCF, Amery, Unity, Clayton) whose combined record is 43-6. To the Pirates’ credit, they never give up, and Friday was no different as they fought to keep themselves in the game getting to within 10 points late in the game. It was not to be though, and they dropped this one 51-33 to bring their conference record to 3-3 as they head into the second half of the season. Olivia Ohnstad led the Pirate scoring with 15. Sarah Chenal was next on the list with nine followed by Brooke Quimby with six and Olivia Brock with three. The Pirates will head to Webster on Friday night and will host Frederic on Tuesday.

Luck then started the second half on the aforementioned accumulation of points to go up 40-26 with 9:11 left in the game. The Dragons cut into the deficit scoring nine points to the Cardinals two. Cassie Maslow had the hot hand with eight of them, reducing the gap to a 42-35 margin with 2:45 left.

Mistakes cost Blizzard a win BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SOMERSET––The Burnett Blizzard traveled to Somerset to take on the Spartans last Thursday night and came home on the short end of a 6-3 loss. “The boys played well and competed most of the game against Somerset,” said Coach Tim McDonald. “We made a few mistakes that they capitalized on and that was the difference in the game. Give Somerset credit for taking advantage of our mistakes. Ca-

leb Johnson was in net and played a great game, keeping it close and giving us the opportunity to make a game out of it, but in the end Somerset made fewer mistakes and got the win.” The Blizzard got the first goal of the game at the 6:04 mark on a score by Jared Lee, assisted by Dawson Van Meter. Somerset tied it up five minutes later and the first period ended in a 1-1 tie. The Spartans got three goals within a three minute span in period two before the Blizzard stopped

the tide momentarily on a goal by Austin Anderson, assisted by David Doty. Two more goals got past the Burnett goalie and the second frame ended with Somerset up 6-2. The Blizzard got the only goal of period three on an unassisted power play score by Jared Lee. Blizzard goalie Caleb Johnson turned away 37 shots. After hosting Regis-Altoona-McDonell on Tuesday, the Blizzard host Chequamegon on Saturday.

Air Force conﬁrms Wisconsin National Guard investigation MADISON— U.S. Air Force investigators have confirmed they’re looking into allegations of sexual assault and harassment within a Wisconsin Air National Guard security unit, U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s office said Wednesday. Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat, asked the Air Force on Nov. 13 to investigate claims involving members of the 115th Fighter Wing’s Security Forces Squadron, a group of about 100 airmen that polices the Truax Field Air National Guard Base in Madison. Baldwin made the request after

Jay Ellis, a master sergeant in the squadron, contacted her office and said he had learned of six incidents of sexual harassment or sexual assault against female squadron members between 2002 and 2016. He alleged that high-ranking commanders have done little to address them. One of the women told The Associated Press in an interview that superior officers sexually assaulted her and her friend during a party in 2002 at a training base in Nevada as the unit was preparing to deploy to Iraq. None of the women in any of the inci-

dents Ellis cited filed formal complaints out of fear of retaliation, Ellis said. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations wrote back to Baldwin on Nov. 16 saying the matter had been referred to personnel responsible for the Madison area. The letter did not say if an investigation was underway. Ellis told the AP that investigators from Scott Air Force Base in Illinois contacted him on Nov. 16 and asked him for details of the incidents and the names of the people involved. Baldwin’s office on Wednesday released a letter from the AFOSI dated

Dec. 21. AFOSI Inspector General Jacqueline Albright wrote in the letter that investigators spoke with Ellis on Nov. 16 but he wouldn’t identify any of the victims. He called back on Nov. 28, however, and provided one woman’s name. Albright said the AFOSI is conducting a complete review of all the information Ellis provided in the two conversations and “has initiated additional investigative steps” based on his information. Baldwin spokesman John Kraus said her office received the letter this week but it wasn’t processed until Wednesday.

Q. Fresh produce is hard to buy in the A.

winter. What can I buy instead?

Buying canned foods is an easy, cost-effective way David Lang, MD to eat healthy year-round. They are a simple realistic way you can incorporate nutrients into meals. What’s even better is that there are more than 1,500 varieties of canned foods available today. Canned fruits and vegetables are always in season and packed at their peak of freshness to seal in taste and nutrition. Plus, research found that canned goods are nutritionally similar to fresh and frozen and in some cases, even better. • Canned peaches have 4 times more Vitamin C and 10 times more folate. • Canned corn has more lutein, an antioxidant that protects your eye health. • Canned beans provide more fiber and are an excellent source of protein and iron. • Canned tomatoes have more lycopene, which reduces cancer risk, and has more B Vitamins. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

Corrections staff logs $50 million in overtime in 2018 MADISON — Department of Corrections staff in Wisconsin racked up $50 million in overtime in 2018. An internal review shows the overtime at the state’s adult correctional institutions increased by $7 million from 2016. Overtime expenses for 2017 were not available. The overtime is largely caused by staffing vacancies. The State Journal reports about 680 correctional officer and sergeant positions — or 15 percent — were vacant last year. DOC spokeswoman Clare Hendricks says the state’s low unemployment rate contributes to the agency’s difficulty in retaining workers. The state saw an unemployment rate at or below 3 percent for most of 2018.

Who do you say I am?

Scott Sagle Calvary Covenant Grantsburg

God created each of us as needy individuals. We are incomplete without God and each other. That is not a weakness, it is the way God designed us. We are to depend on one another and we are to depend on God. Jesus teaches us this truth throughout the Gospel of John. In that book there are 7 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I AMâ&#x20AC;? statements made by Jesus. John 6:35 tells us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the Bread of Life.â&#x20AC;? Jesus is the One who spiritually sustains us. John 8:12 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the light of the world. Through Him we gain spiritual understanding and wisdom for living. Jesus says in

John 10:7, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the door of the sheep.â&#x20AC;? He has given us free and unlimited access to His Kingdom. John 10:11 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the good shepherd.â&#x20AC;? Jesus is our guide and protector. In John 11:25, Jesus tells us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the resurrection and the lifeâ&#x20AC;? He has guaranteed our eternal life with God if we come to Him, ask forgiveness, and trust Him to be our Lord and Savior. Jesus explains in John 14:6 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the way, the truth, and the life.â&#x20AC;? He is the only one who can do this for us. He is the only way to a relationship with God.

SACRED HEART OF JESUS & MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH

Jesus shows us in John 15:1 that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the true vineâ&#x20AC;? We must remain connected to the vine every moment if we expect to truly live. While we are here the things we do in His strength, out of gratitude for what Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done for us, are the only things that matter. I would love to be able to be in complete and total control and prove my own independence, but that is not reality. All of us need to humble ourselves and allow Jesus into our lives so that we experience the fullness of life He created us to enjoy.
