Government Center closes after sewer issues JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––The Burnett County Government Center was closed Friday Jan. 18 for the afternoon after the building’s sanitary sewer system backed up and its water system was shut down. “This required that the water be turned off for the building,” Sheriff Tracy Finch said in a statement. “Consequently, the Government Center was closed to the public at noon and all non-essential staff members were sent home for the remainder of the day.” Due to the water system being shut down the inmates of the jail had to be transported to other area jails. “The sewer problem was subsequently fixed. Most of the inmates were then transported back to the Burnett County Jail that evening,” Finch said in a statement released Friday evening. She also thanked the sheriff’s office staff as well as the Barron and Polk County Jails for their assistance.

Grantsburg’s students see K-9s in action Grantsburg’s fifth grade prevention program focuses on drug, prescription, alcohol, peer pressure, nicotine and vaping hazards. It is a six week program, and at the end of the program K-9 Tracker comes into the school for a demonstration. K-9 Tracker and K-9 Reese from the tribal police dept. were able to show the students how quickly they can find hidden drugs. The K-9 officers are like rock stars to the students and they love to see the dogs work and ask the Deputies questions. Fifth Grade teachers Jenifer Carlson, Wendy Hoefs and Natalie Haspert said they love the program because it helps their students make educated decisions.

FIRE: Second ﬁre at house in ten months CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

witnesses could not see the house even though they were standing on the sidewalk directly across the street from it. The first call for the fire came around 12:30 p.m. and crews battled the flames for a large part of Tuesday afternoon, with some Grantsburg Fire Trucks not returning to the station until 5 p.m. Owners of the house during the fire last April said the fire began near the home’s water heater.

Siren Police Officer Trevor Thiex was part of the investigation and he said that samples from inside the home were being sent to a Milwaukee lab to be tested for possible arson. Thiex said the state fire investigator team was at the house on Wednesday morning with an accelerant sniffing dog. Grantsburg Fire Department along with Siren and Pine City Fire Departments helped put out the flames. The sheriff’s office was also on the scene.

There’s still some good out there “There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for,” – J.R.R. Tolkien wrote that in his Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It can be found in the second book, the Two Towers, when Samwise Gamgee is talking to Frodo Baggins about the world they live in. The words were made famous in the film The Two Towers when Sean Astin, who plays Gamgee, repeats the words as a voiceover and an epic battle scene is taking place. Then the two meet eyes and he delivers the line with as much pride as imaginable. The newspaper is often full of negatives. Like last year in late August when a bar fight in downtown Grantsburg left a bar and ended up crushing the flowers in our flower box outside the office. Sentinel Police Chief Jeff Schinzing explained to me that there was a Editor guy in the bar pushing a woman Jonathan Richie and that another guy stepped in and the altercation began. The two men were allegedly fighting in the bar and then it went outside the bar and then back in. In the brief time they were outside they crashed into the Sentinel flowers that sit outside our front door. Here comes the good news. After the story was published and went online I received an email from a man saying he was the one that caused the fight and apologized for damaging the flowers. He also asked how he could repay us. I never responded (a dreaded email habit I have) and forgot about it. I did not think the paper needed to be reimbursed. His reason for getting into the fight was that the other guy was disrespecting a woman inside the bar and he simply did not allow that to happen. Chivalrous, is what it used to be called back in the day and then that died off for some reason (probably millennials fault or smart phones and our self-obsessed society). To our surprise, we received a check in the mail last week reimbursing us for the flowers that were destroyed. Thank you to the man who stepped up to make things right, no matter how frivolous it may seem. Remaining on the subject of men. Have you seen that Gillette commercial that has enraged people on the Internet? Gillette, who mainly sells men’s facial razors, released a commercial that addressed ‘toxic masculinity’ and things like mansplaining. One scene in the commercial is a boss during a business meeting patting a woman on the shoulder and saying “I think what she means to say is...” I suggest you check out the commercial, it’s on YouTube, and let me know what you think. My main thought was, wow this is bold for a company to be lecturing consumers and telling them simply to be better. The world men live in is changing and we should all strive to be judged on our own actions. JONATHAN RICHIE is the editor of the Burnett County Sentinel.

New year, new start It is hard to believe, but January is nearly in the rear view mirror. In fact, winter is officially half over, so take heart, better days are coming. In January after a state or federal election, new officials take the oath of office and get down to work. The pomp and ceremony of inaugurations are done From the Publisher’s and the truly hard work – and make Desk no mistake it is hard work — of Tom Stangl governing begins. A campaign i iis the time and place to talk about what you will do and to bash your opponent for what they have or haven’t done. It is expected and has become a season where people sometimes rightfully tune out, turned off by the negativity. So. Much. Negativity. But the tradition that we have embraced as a nation for over two centuries is to put as much of this acrimony away in January and do the people’s work. There will be another election. Do your job, it is what is expected. There are new governors in Minnesota and Wisconsin who are now setting their agendas for what

they would like to accomplish. Members of the legislature are doing the same as the marketplace of ideas opens for business. Concepts become studies which become bills. Bills are written, revised, testified upon, and eventually voted on and either signed or vetoed. It is my hope that our elected officials on the state level will remember that the election is over and get down to expressing their visions for the future. When these ideas are presented, I hope that they get a proper airing and stand or fall on their merits. I believe that voters have decided to elect split governments on the state and federal level as a way to check the power of each party and to force elected officials to seek common ground. I know that neither party is happy about the arrangement which leads me to believe that it is a good thing. Now is time to look at new ways to accomplish things that weren’t done in the last legislative sessions. Repairing roads, ensuring broadband internet access, and equitable funding for education are three concerns that seem to remain on the radar without being solved. The two political parties can often find common ground on these issues, funding the priorities can prove more difficult.

The pendulum on social issues like legalization of recreational marijuana seems to be moving to the left. Minnesota and Wisconsin are now openly discussing the issue. I hope that the topic can be discussed on a wide range for an extended period of time before any legislation is considered. There is more at stake than personal liberty in this discussion. In the end, I hope that lawmakers look to the needs of the many when considering legislation. We elect lawmakers and entrust them to do the right thing. Knowing when to hold fast on principle and when to compromise for the greater good is a skill that fewer and fewer office holders seem to possess. Another skill that is sorely lacking, in my opinion, is the ability to express positions on a topic in a calm and coherent manner. It seems to be far more easy to ridicule the other guy. We need to demand more of the people we have entrusted with so much. As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

For private well owners, testing can bring peace of mind SENATOR PATTY SCHACHTNER

We are all dependent on water, and here in Wisconsin, almost 40 percent of households rely on private wells. Private well owners deserve to know whether their water is safe for their family. Regular water quality testing can be one way to bring peace of mind. Earlier this year, a groundwater study reported that 42 percent of southwest Wisconsin wells were contaminated with hazardous materials. Wells contaminated with bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals can lead to various issues such as nausea and diarrhea. Drinking contaminated water during pregnancy can also cause serious issues such as brain malformation in infants. Other studies completed in northeastern Wisconsin found similar levels of well contamination. This suggests that well contamination may not be just a regional or isolated issue. Patty The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recommends private well owners Schachtner test their water on an annual basis. Changes to District 10 the color, taste, or smell of one’s water can also warrant additional testing. The DNR maintains Senator a list of private laboratories certified to test well l there is one in St. Croix County and one in Dunn water. C Currently, County. Self-testing kits are also available online and at certain retail stores, with prices starting at about $25. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. State Senator Patty Schachtner represents Wisconsin’s tenth senate district. The district covers parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix counties.

New legislative session opens the door for new ideas The importance of citizen input January marked the beginning of a new legislative session at the State Capitol, bringing with it a new set of challenges and opportunities. As a state legislator, I work for all the citizens of Wisconsin, however, the most important aspect of my job is listening to the people of the 73rd Assembly District that I represent. It would be impossible to name an issue that everyone agrees upon, and that is why it is imperative that I hear from you – the citizens – about how you feel about issues before us. During a legislative session, legislators are presented with no less than a couple thousand legislative proposals covering statewide issues from education to hunting, historic preservation to taxes, veterans to transportation, and the list goes on and on. About half of these proposals are actually introduced and even less receive public hearings and proceed through the legislative process to become law. It is impossible to be well-versed on all proposals presented before us, and this is where you come in. If there is a legislative proposal you feel strongly about, or that affects you and your family, please let me know. Additionally, if you have ideas about potential legislation, I would appreciate that feedback. Another important aspect of my job is assisting with state agencies. If you run into hurdles in dealing with any of Wisconsin’s state agencies, please contact my office for assistance. The majority of times it is simply

a matter of misunderstanding or a case that is waiting for a final signature. Whatever the situation, my office will contact the state agency to make an inquiry on your behalf. We have one of the most beautiful State Capitols in the country. This is the people’s building. If your travels bring you to Madison, I hope you are able to find the time to take a tour and to stop by Room 104 Nick North in the Capitol – your office – to say hello. Feel free Milroy to contact the office ahead District 73 of time so I can be there to Representative greet you if I am in Madison. As we begin a new session with a split government for the first time in eight years, I pledge to continue to work across the aisle. Whether it is ideas for a new bill, your views on pending legislation, concerns with a state agency, or questions about the legislative process, your input is vital to the success of Northwest Wisconsin. I look forward to hearing from you! Rep. Milroy can be reached by calling 608-266-0640, toll-free at 1-888-534-0073 (using a WI based phone only), or via email at Rep. Milroy@legis.wisconsin.gov.

Get kids cooking in the kitchen with a simple recipe

Cooking with kids can be challenging. They do and say the funniest things in the kitchen. Having four kids has taught me to expect disasters from time to time and to cherish those moments of pure joy when they get it right. I learned that having a child who likes to cook with you can be just as challenging as the one who wants nothing to do with cooking. Finding that happy medium is not easy. Some recipes are more kid-friendly than others. Recipes suitable for kids are easy, fast, and have limited ingredients. I came across an article about Trader Joe’s new product, “Pancake Bread.” I wasn’t sure what the allure was, but I figured I could make something just as good and maybe even easier. When I looked into recipes for the bread, I found loads of recipes for quick breads popular in 2015. I didn’t think much about them until I came across

Maple Nut Custard Cake. I started experimenting and realized this was a perfect recipe to make with kids. This recipe is so easy, it makes you want to lie and tell everyone it took all day. It’s basically pancake mix, water, and maple syrup. You don’t have to add the nuts if you don’t want too. It is the perfect recipe for kids. Not only will Wild Chow they like making it, but they will love eating it, Lisa Erickson too. PANCAKE BREAD 2 1/2 cups buttermilk pancake mix (Use the mix that calls for water) 1 3/4 cups water 2/3 cup pure maple syrup 1/2 cup walnut pieces

Value Strip

Grease the sides of an 8 inch round cake pan. Pour the syrup into the pan. Sprinkle evenly with the nuts and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the pancake mix with the water until there are no large lumps of flour; about 30 seconds. Do not over mix. Spoon batter into the pan over the nuts and syrup. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the middle of the cake springs back when touched. Remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to release cake. **Kids be sure to ask an adult for help with this step. Invert cake onto a serving plate immediately. Cool and serve with butter.

tour with snacks. “Someone is going to go home with a 3D printer they won with a ticket they bought for a dollar,” said Ron Dorn Tech Ed teacher. Dorn added that they will have a couple of booths set up for a couple of different vendors. They will focus on explaining the different career options the students have once they finish high school. The Tech Ed Open House will be the same night as the school’s ACP (Academic and Career Planning) Night. High School Principal Josh Hetfeld said ACP Night is to get parents and students involved in the students’ future. “The goal is to get the parents more involved in the students’ scheduling process,” Hetfeld said. “We will have teachers set up in the cafetorium to explain what classes the students can take.” ACP Night will be for all students grades 5-12 and will be held at the same time as the Tech Ed Open House Jan. 31 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Middle/ High School IMC (Instructional Media

Center) and the Middle/High School Cafetorium. BULLYING REPORTING PROGRAMS Also on the agenda at the meeting was a presentation by the district counselors. They explained the new district wide bullying reporting program that

Warden Ken Thomson ﬁnds a cool, fast way to patrol!

SUBMITTED BY THE WDNR

Well-known in the Wisconsin DNR, Bureau of Law Enforcement’s conservation warden ranks as a hockey aficionado, WDNR Conservation Warden Ken Thomson wasn’t about to let super slick ice prevent him from doing his patrols with smooth time-efficiency. He laced up the skates and recently did about 8 of his patrol miles on Lake Eau Claire in Eau Claire County. Word is he didn’t put anyone in the penalty box, steered clear of any cross-check calls and even managed to join a bit of a hockey game with about 20 Amish youths. No hat trick but Warden Ken is keeping the skates in his patrol pack. “I had a blast and the fishermen thought it was great I was on skates.” No doubt. If you’re out on the frozen lakes in Eau Claire County, don’t be surprised if you see a fast-approaching WDNR conservation warden with a big grin on his face. That’s just Warden Ken doing his Slap Shot routine. Whoosh!

can be accessed on the district’s website or even downloaded onto a student’s smartphone. Renee Ones, High School counselor explained the program originated after the students saw an anti-bullying presentation by Tom Thelen. “The online reporting program is set

up to help students report bullying, but also to educate them on what bullying is,” Ones said. She explained she gave a presentation to all of the classes and went through examples of bullying. The online reporting site and app allow students who have been bullied or who observe bullying to report it. “It even allows for self reporting if the student knows they’re the ones who are bullying other students,” Ones said. Ones walked the board through the reporting process and explained that she gets all the reports that are submitted on the site. She plans on looking at the data at the end of the year and then again next year to see what progress the school has. “I don’t think we have a big bullying problem in Webster,” Ones concluded. “But this is a good program to keep track of it when it does happen.” SPRING ELECTION School Board members Mark Elliot and Katie Smith are running unopposed in the spring election, held on April 2, for the two school board seats.

County Board discusses Ducks Unlimited purchase JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– The County Board had a lengthy discussion with Forest Administrator Jake Nichols last week about a 360-acre lot in the Town of Lincoln. Ducks Unlimited owns the land and is looking to sell it to the county for $12,000. The lot is located between Klarquist Road and Icehouse Bridge Road in Lincoln. It was first brought up at the Natural Resources committee meeting on Jan. 10. At that meeting committee members said that if there is a potential for timber sales on the property they should definitely look into buying it. They passed a motion moving it to the full board, but only if the sale contract is approved by Burnett County Corporate Counsel David Grindell and the legal team at the state DNR offices. Nichols said they would apply for an interest free loan to attain the $12,000 for the purchase. The main discussion was around taxes on the property. Supervisor Jeremy Gronski said they were expecting to get somewhere between $3,000 to $4,000 every year in taxes from the property and questioned whether the purchase was necessary.

At this point they circled back to the potential for timber sales. Nichols explained that the timber on the site is not set to be cut for another 20-25 years. Supervisor Duane Johnson questioned why the county would buy the property now if “we aren’t expecting a (financial) return for maybe 25 years.” Nichols stressed that the main reason for the acquisition would be to add it to the County Forest. The site is surrounded by county forest which is why the Natural Resources committee thought the purchase was a good idea. Supervisor Gene Olson wondered if the sale was too good to be true and added, “if it seems too good to be true it probably is.” He continued questioning the possible downsides of the purchase, including loss of tax revenue and possibly losing buildable lots for homes. Nichols advised that if the land cannot be entered into County Forest than they should not approve the purchase. The board approved the purchase with the contingents of the sales approval by Corporate Counsel David Grindell and the legal team at the state DNR office. The only opposing vote came from Johnson.

GRANTSBURG––After a special board meeting last week Grantsburg’s Village Board made some changes to their snow removal policy. The Director of Public Works will now have more input on when to begin plowing small amounts of snow in the village. The board went into closed session to discuss snow removal, on Jan. 17, with Public Works Director Chris Bartlett. They made a few slight changes to the policy. It used to read that a trace amount of snow to two inches of snow will not be plowed and now the policy will read that the roads will be plowed at the discretion of the Public Works Director. There was also a change made to the parking on streets policy. The updated policy states, “immediately after or during any snowfall parking of any motor vehicle or other apparatus that will interfere with snow removal shall be prohibited upon any street within the Village of Grantsburg limits until such time as the snow has been removed to the curb or to the edge of the street.” The policy used to state the vehicles were to be moved for snow removal after two inches of snow. Village Treasurer Sheila Meyer said she will check on the penalty for violating the parking ordinance during snow removal. Bartlett will look into whether the Village needs to add signage stating the changes for parking during snow removal. Next on the agenda was filling the position of Village Clerk/Deputy Treasurer after the board voted to terminate the employment of Clerk/Deputy Treasurer Patty Bjorklund on a vote of four to two. Village President Larry Ebersold made a motion to

make Meyer the new Village Clerk/ Deputy Treasurer and advertise the position of Deputy Clerk/ Treasurer. The board also voted to increase Meyer’s wage by $2.00 an hour for the additional workload she will have until they hire a Deputy Clerk/ Treasurer, a position that Meyer will have to train and supervise. The motion carried with the only opposing vote coming from Russell Stone. Last week the board also voted to hire a new police secretary. Malisa Engstrand of Grantsburg was approved to be hired for the position. She is set to work around 20 hours a week for the police department.

BURNETT COUNTY–– Tim D’Jock, SOFTEC’s Executive Director, gave a brief presentation to the Board of Supervisors last week. The main class SOFTEC offers centers around their CAT virtual reality (VR) heavy equipment simulator. SOFTEC Education Inc. partnered with Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College (WITC), the Burnett County government, and local businesses to provide a local space for students to learn practical skills that are in demand with businesses such as McNally Industries, the Nexen Group, Monarch Paving, and Division 8 Products. D’Jock explained their CAT VR simulator was recently used by the Highway Department. “They went through the CAT simulator training,” D’Jock said. “We wanted to show them where we’re at and what we’re doing across the road here.” D’Jock told the board that three days training on the CAT VR simulator is equal to one month of field operation training on the real thing. SOFTEC received a $30,000 grant from Burnett County earlier this year. The funds came from the Burnett County Economic Development Community Investment Fund. “We are building a strong

Nell Polzine and her 2nd Grade class going from Grantsburg Elementary to the food shelf to drop off their annual food donation. Polzine has added to the tradition by stopping, un-announced at two Grantsburg homes to sing Christmas carols.

Holiday tradition for Grantsburg 2nd graders Nell Polzine started the tradition of having her students donate to the food shelf early in her career. Polzine is a second grade teacher at Grantsburg Elementary. Every year around the holidays she poses a question to her class – would they like to give or get gifts for the holidays. “My first year of teaching my class collected mittens and hats to donate to our school to have on hand for those who need it, but I wanted to make it a little bigger

and get a community component involved,” Polzine said. “The food shelf fit the mold of manageable, close in proximity, and making an impact.” Since that first year Polzine has posed the same question to her classes, would they like to have a traditional gift exchange or would they like to use the $5 they would have spent on a gift to donate to the food shelf. “Each year students vote and so far each year donating to the

food shelf has been the winner,” Polzine said. After the students bring in their food donations the class takes a tractor ride, “with a trailer filled with over flowing boxes of food and a group of students adorned in Santa hats.” This year Polzine’s class donated well over 20 food items for the food shelf. “I think it’s never too young to teach children the greater reward of giving,” Polzine said.

OUR BROASTER IS BACK IN OPERATION!

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood and depends on blood and platelet donors. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer, or sickle cell disease may all require blood to save their lives. The American Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations every day for patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals across the country. As we begin the New Year, the American Red Cross encourages individuals to roll up a sleeve and donate blood this month and throughout 2019. Donating blood and/or platelets is a lifesaving contribution that only takes about an hour and can save up to three lives! There is an urgent need for blood and platelet donors of all blood types to help address winter blood donation shortages. Winter is one of the most difficult times of year due to inclement weather often resulting in cancelled blood drives, and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, causing some donors to become temporarily unable to donate. These disruptions make it difficult to provide enough blood products to meet patient needs. For those of you who haven’t donated blood before, here are some facts about the blood donation process: • Blood donation consists of registration, medical history and mini-physical, donation and refreshments. • Every blood donor has their temperature, blood pressure, pulse and hemoglobin checked before they donate. • The actual blood donation typically takes 10-12 minutes. • All donated blood is tested for infectious diseases. • Donating blood is a safe process using one sterile needle per donor and then discarded.

Remembering Mary Oliver EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Did you know that a grasshopper chews by moving its mandibles from side to side instead of up and down? I’d never really thought anything about how a grasshopper chews until reading Mary Oliver’s poem “The Summer Day.” One of her most quoted poems, it ends with the question: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” The little jolt of surprise and joy that crackled through me at the novelty of learning about nature through a poem, coupled with such an exciting and affirming question, solidly locked in my love for Mary Oliver’s poetry. It was a ranger in Yosemite National Park who first gave me her name. I think they had incorporated a Mary Oliver poem into an interpretive hike, and learning about my work as a teacher/naturalist at a science camp, they encouraged me to look her up. I did. I purchased one book, devoured it, and quickly found another. Then I used her poems with the kids. Mary Oliver had a knack for taking things that are small and mundane—a flowing river, the tracks of a deer, goldfinches in a puddle—and turning them into something profound. It is a skill that I aspire to as well. Is that because of her influence? I discovered both the joys of Mary Oliver’s poetry and transforming the mundane during that same season teaching in the redwoods, so it very well could have been. In any case, her words have continued to shape my worldview and my writing in many wonderful ways. You may have heard that Mary Oliver died on Jan. 17. Social media exploded with people posting their favorite poems, inspirational quotes, and also Mary Oliver’s own words about death. She wrote about it frequently, and often joyfully. In phrases like “one long muscle,” she weaves the story of an ecological circle “where the secret name of every death is life again” (from “Skunk Cabbage.”) Or, while watching birds diving for fish in “Gannets,” she wrote, “life is real, and pain is real, but death is an imposter.”

SENTINEL

Not long after I discovered Mary Oliver’s poetry, I also discovered that my dear Aunt Nan was dying of cancer. The wisdom and love of those two women twined together in my heart and matured my youthful philosophies surrounding death. In particular, Oliver’s poem “Wings,” felt profound. The poet watches a great blue heron and imagines sinking into the mud to become part of the bird through that implied circle of life. “My bones knew something wonderful about the darkness…” she wrote. “…They wanted to lie down in that silky mash of the swamp, the sooner to fly.” My family spread Nan’s ashes in her favorite places, and we have subsequently been visited by dragonflies. She told us that is how she would come back. And truly, she feels as close to me as ever. Now that Nan is not tethered to an earthly existence in faraway Maine, her spirit is with me in an instant of recollection. I think that many people, including myself, will have the same experience with Mary Oliver. She’s already incorporated herself into that “one long muscle” in countless ways that don’t require her earthly presence. So when I learned of Oliver’s death, I didn’t exactly feel sadness. There was a little burst of dismay of course, but as the breadth of her influence became apparent, that burst turned into a feeling of mini fireworks exploding in my heart, with the sparkles of her words rippling out to twinkle across the universe. I think that image may have been painted by Oliver’s own words in “Wings,” where she wrote “and then I felt an explosion—a pain—also a happiness I can hardly mention as I slid free…” In a way, she had already prepared her readers for the eventuality of her own death Of course, this type of philosophizing is fine for those of us who were not in her inner circle. Even Oliver, when writing about a particularly special tree that had been killed in a storm, was not so stoic. “But, listen, I’m tired of that brazen promise: death and resurrection,” she wrote in “The Oak Tree at The Entrance to Blackwater Pond.” “What I loved, I mean, was that tree, tree of the moment, tree of my own sad, mortal heart.” Naturally, many news articles have looked to her poem “When Death Comes,” for solace. It concludes: “When it’s over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement.” By all accounts, she succeeded. We will be forever grateful for the things she did with her “one wild and precious life.”

McDowell, Quimby rack up 31 each in overtime showdown STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—Webster’s Hannah McDowell and Grantsburg’s Brooke Quimby had career highs on Friday night with both players pouring in 31 points for their teams in a West Lakeland Conference showdown. It was Quimby’s Pirate squad that came out on top with a 63-52 overtime win over the Tigers. “Hannah McDowell was an absolute gamer, 31 points was a career high and she matched Quimby shot for shot during the game,” Tigers’ head coach Mat Wood said. “Unfortunately, we just couldn’t get the job done to secure the win.” Despite being down by seven at the half, the Tigers clawed their way back into the game, and with 4:20 left in the game McDowell hit a huge three-pointer from the corner to give Webster a 44-43 lead. Both teams battled hard, and with 1:50 on the clock they were knotted up at 45-45. Webster’s Julia Gavin hit a shot down low, was fouled and headed to the

free throw line where she finished the three-point play to put her team up 48-45. Grantsburg would not go away, and it was Quimby who fought for an offensive rebound and put back to bring the Pirates within one at 47-48. The Tigers had a couple of chances to put the game away from the

free throw line, but were unable to get the ball to drop. With just 22 seconds left, the Pirates’ smothering defense forced a turnover and after several shots and offensive rebounds, Quimby was fouled and stepped to the line. She made the front end of a one-and-one to tie the game at 48-48 and

send it into overtime. In the extra minutes, Grantsburg’s defense seem to rattle the Tigers and kept them out of sync offensively. The Pirates racked up 15 points to just four for the Tigers to get the win. Quimby continued her big night, scoring 10 of her team’s 15 overtime points. “Our girls put themselves in a really good position to win that basketball game. They fought back in the second half to take a three point lead with 47 seconds to go or so,” Coach Wood said. “Unfortunately for us Grantsburg made the plays that they needed to make to win the game. We had our chances, missed the front end of the one-and-one twice and went 1-6 total from the free throw line late. We also had a couple of opportunities to get defensive rebounds late to seal it, but the ball just eluded us. I didn’t get a late timeout to get them settled down either.” “With that being said, even with the gut-wrenching loss, I was really proud of how our SEE OVERTIME ON PAGE 16

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling team was one of 19 teams participating on Saturday and came home with sixth place under their belt “This was the best we have done by far in this tournament for a long time,” said an elated Coach Chris Bartlett. “With only eight kids in the varsity lineup, that is impressive I think. The kids came prepared to wrestle and did well,” praised the coach. “Nolan Johnson (106) wrestled very well. He was able to beat the kid from Northwestern that beat him at Northern Badger.” At 106, Taedon Nichols “was able to get revenge for an earlier loss in the year at Northern Badger. He was able to get a late take down to beat him 4-2.” Landyn Johnson (132) “could have easily been in the finals. He is really starting to look good.” Of Hunter Sellent (138), “he wrestled very well. He ran into the eventual champ in the semi’s from Hudson.” Merlin Hibbs (152) “in the second round ran into a tough kid from Hudson. After that, he cruised to a fifth place finish. He wrestled well and keeps improving.” “He took a well deserved fifth,” said Coach Bartlett of Brad Lucas (182). “He beat two kids that will be at our Regional.” Dominic Caroon (195) is very entertaining to watch. He never gives up. He pinned his way to the finals.” Of Ben Berglund (220), “he keeps working hard.” Thursday, St. Croix Falls will be at Frederic. “It is our Parent’s Night. They (SCF) are a tough team, but we match up well. There will be some good matches.” finished the coach.

Blizzard win two in a row GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Burnett Blizzard have back-to-back wins under their belt, posting an identical 7-0 win on Saturday over Chequamegon of Park Falls. “We absolutely are in Phase Two,” said head coach Tim McDonald in referring to an earlier interview where he shared the team’s plan for the year. Phase One was the getting acquainted stage, experiencing some losses, buying into the program and believing in the coaches and with each other. Phase Two is playing the best way possible, trusting each other and getting some wins in preparation for the upcoming playoffs. Dawson Van Meter got a hat trick in this game, scoring a goal in each of the three periods. He gave the Blizzard their first goal at 2:41 of the first period on an unassisted, short handed goal. David Doty put

goal number two in the net 10 minutes later with an assist to Will Gerber and the Blizzard held a 2-0 lead after one period. In period two, Gerber got a goal with Doty and Bryce Roufs getting assists. Van Meter then got his second goal, Gage Hall and Jared Lee assisting. Lee and Roufs scored the other two goals of the period with Trent Zenzen assisting on the Lee goal. In the last period, Van Meter scored at 3:46. Lee and Ross Anderson got the assists. Blizzard goalie Caleb Johnson turned away 11 shots on goal. The Blizzard peppered Chequamegon goal tender Isaac Szymik with 45 shots. Continued the coach, “ We’re happy with the win, but also with the shutout performance by our goalie. “We’re out to be consistent. With the boys, we’re trying to do the same routine, to learn to trust the coaches and each other.”

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates put up a good fight, but were unable to keep up to the undefeated Clayton Bears, falling 62-34 on Tuesday, Jan. 15. Brooke Quimby gave the Pirates a quick start, hitting a big three-pointer to get the game going. She would be the top scorer

for the hometown girls with 14 for the night. Despite being down 17-51 at halftime, the Pirates did outscore the Bears 17-11 the second half. Olivia Ohnstad finished right behind Quimby with 13 points for the night. Jadyn Watt chipped in four with Olivia Brock adding two and Sarah Chenal one to end the list of scorers for the Pirates.

LAKE HOLCOMBE–– “Our girls played well offensively,” said Webster girls coach Mat Wood following a disappointing 66-61 loss last Tuesday night. “We are scoring the ball better and better as the season has gone on. We have put up 60+ points more this year than any year before. Unfortunately, our defense

has not been up to par giving up 60 plus points on too many occasions.” “Hannah McDowell started off really hot hitting her first five shots. Julia (Gavin) scored inside really well. Morgan Mulroy came off the bench and hit three 3s to keep us in the game. We just ran out of steam and could not get key stops late in the game. Sort of how the Frederic game ended for us. I’m proud of how we have been

playing, we just need to start to lock down teams to keep games more manageable.” McDowell ended the game with 15 points with Gavin and Makena Buffington scoring 14 and 11 points respectively. Morgan Mulroy added nine, Mahi Mosher six, Jenna Gomulak four and Brooke Hetfeld had two. Megan Lechleitner was game high scorer, putting in 26 points for Lake Holcombe.

kids played and how close they got to getting the win, but this is a learning experience for myself and the team about what we need to do late to finish off games. You got to give it to Brooke Quimby and Olivia Ohnstad— they made plays late and got us out of control at the end of the game.” McDowell was the lone Tiger to hit double digits with her 31 points, as they spread around the remainder of the scoring between seven players. Brooke Hetfeld had five points with Julia Gavin and Makena Buffington adding four each. Grace McCool tallied three with Mahi Mosher and Morgan Mulroy chipping in two points each. Jenna Gomulak rounded out the Tiger scoring with one point. For the Pirates, Quimby had a double-double with 10 rebounds to go along with her 31 points. Olivia Ohnstad also

recorded a double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Olivia Brock and Jadyn Watt had four points each follwed by Cate Lee with three and Sarah Chenal with two. “Great team effort and much needed win,” Pirates head coach Penny Curtin said of the game. “Along with Quimby’s and Ohnstad’s double-doubles, Chenal chipped in 13 rebounds helping us get more shots. Cate Lee came in and scored a key free throw that helped us get into overtime, and Alexis Troff gave us some quality defensive minutes slowing down their big scorer in McDowell.” Grantsburg will host Luck this Friday in a 5:45 p.m. game, and will travel to Somerset on Tuesday to take on the Spartans. Game time is 7:15 p.m. The Tigers will host Bruce on Friday night and then travel to Birchwood next Tuesday. Game times are 5:45 p.m.

Tigers remain undefeated in conference play STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers continue their winning ways and sit at a perfect 6-0 atop the West Lakeland Conference standings after finishing up the first half of the season with a 59-32 win over the visiting Grantsburg Pirates on Friday night. “It was our goal not to turn the ball over against their tough 1-3-1 defense. I thought we did a great job doing that,” Tigers coach Rob Scherrer said of the game. “Carsen Stenberg did a really nice job controlling our offense. Hunter Rosenbaum and Coleton Peterson both had nice shooting nights and Jack Washburn and Trevor Gustafson did some nice work in the paint.” The Pirates struck first, taking an early 3-0 lead, but Rosenbaum hit a big three for the Tigers to tie it up. The teams exchanged points for the first eight minutes of the half until the Tigers hit back-to-back three pointers to take a six point lead. Grantsburg struggled to get the ball to drop, hitting a lull in their offense. And, just like that, Webster took a 34-15 halftime lead as the teams headed to the locker rooms. “We just have to do a better job of executing the things we want to do in this game,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “We created good shots for ourselves but we just didn’t finish and we turned the ball over way too many times to expect to win a game against a team of that caliber. Webster has done a nice job all year of stringing together points and if you’re not putting the ball in the hole on the other end, you find yourself down 15, 20 points when you feel like you should still be in it.” The scoring slowed a bit in the second half with the Tigers putting up 25 to Grantsburg’s 17. The Tigers’ scoring was pretty even with four players in double digits. Rosenbaum had a game high 15 points followed closely by Jack Washburn with 14, Peterson with 13 and Gustafson with 12. Tanner Pardun added three points with Owen Washburn finishing out the list with two. “We are very blessed to have 7-8 guys that can be the leading scorer each night. We were extremely balanced and when we do that we are usually pretty successful,” Coach Scherrer said. “We are happy where we are at moving forward. We need to still make some adjustments and fine tune some things but overall I feel awfully lucky to coach such a great group of men.”

The Pirates spread their scoring around with eight getting in the scorebook. Luke Anderson and Austin Wedin led the charge with seven points each. Gabe Chenal and Gus Bergman chipped in four points apiece follwed by Jared VanWatermeulen with three. Carson Knutson had two points and Tyrell Brande had one for the night. “I thought our defense and rebounding was fine for the better part of the game so that was good to see,” Hallberg said of his Pirates. “I like our team and I believe in these kids more than anybody so we’ll continue to work on the offensive end and hope to be playing our best ball heading into the tournament.” The Pirates will host Luck on Friday night and Turtle Lake on Tuesday. Game times are 7:15 p.m. Webster will host Bruce on Friday before heading to Birchwood on Tuesday night. Both games have a 7:15 p.m. start time.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates finally had a full roster on Tuesday, Jan. 15 when they hosted the Clayton Bears as they sailed to an easy 59-26 win to bring their record to 8-4 at the midway point of the season. The Pirates started quick, jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. At halftime they were up by 20 points at 32-12. Jared VanWatermeulen dominated the paint, dumping in 12 of his game-high 16 points in the first half. “Clayton is a team that is struggling this year and I felt like we came out the right way and put them away early,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “Still would like to see us have a stronger sense of urgency and continuously build on these leads in the first half. We seem to get complacent. Kids are playing hard, which is hardly ever an issue for us.” The Pirates were glad to finally have senior Luke Anderson back, who took the court for the first time this season after suffering a leg injury during the football season. He hit two big three-pointers in the first half to get the crowd fired up. Anderson finished the night with seven points. David MacKean had a great night of shooting as well, hitting three from behind the arc to go along with two buckets to finish the night with 13 points.

HAYWARD––The Webster Tiger boys basketball team traveled to Hayward last Tuesday night and came away with a 73-61 win. “Hayward gave us all we wanted last night,” stated Tiger coach Rob Scherrer. “Every time we were on the verge of opening up the game, Hayward would respond with a run to keep the game fairly close. Coleton Peterson had a really nice game for us, shutting down Hayward’s big guy as well as doing a nice job offensively, looking for his shot. Hunter Rosenbaum had a nice game as well cleaning the glass and making big shots.” The Tigers led 35-27 at the intermission. Rosenbaum had a big first half with three three point shots and two field goals. Trevor Gustafson added nine and Peterson scored seven. Peterson then went to town in the second half, putting in four field goals, two three point shots and went two for five at the free throw line. Gustafson added 11 and Carsen Stenberg six. The Tigers shot 13 for 23 from the free throw line with Hayward going eight for 11. “It’s always nice to be able to go to a hostile environment, take the best punches from our opponent and still find a way to win. It shows character and the will power of our group,” concluded Coach Scherrer.

Austin Wedin also reached double digits with 11 points— six of those coming from three-point land. Gus Bergman added six points with Joey Duncan, Carson Knutson and Tyrell Brande each chipping in two points.

SIREN––With 52 seconds left in the game and on a 9-4 run, the Siren Dragons trailed by just two. But those last seconds saw the deficit get bigger and the Dragons lost to the St. Croix Saints on Friday by a 64-57 margin. “They didn’t quit,” complimented Dragon coach Jon Ruud. “We thought we had some guys that could play together and there were some possessions I wish we could have back. They (the Dragons) played hard and at times they played well.” Down 11-5, Siren scored on two three point shots by Kanaan Christianson to knot the score at 11. Six minutes later, the Dragons were down again by three at 20-17 and went into halftime down 30-25. The gap was stretched to seven at the 12:31 mark when Siren called time to strategize. After trailing 55-48 with 5:14 remaining, the Dragons did their 9-4 run as was mentioned earlier. The Saints called time with 52 seconds left. Siren fouled and the Saints made both free throws. They fouled again and one of two free throws were made and there were 16 ticks remaining. Another foul and two successful free throw opportunities made the final 64-57. The Dragons were just two for five from the line and they committed 19 fouls. The Saints shot 11 for 23 and had just seven whistles called against them. “We’re going to get better,” said Coach Ruud. “It’s January and we hope by February to be playing very well.” After playing at Unity on Tuesday, the Dragons will travel to Frederic on Friday and will host Northwood next Tuesday.

SIREN––“Tonight we had the Midas Touch,” exclaimed Blizzard coach Tim McDonald after his Burnett Blizzard blanked Regis-Altoona-McDonell 7-0 at the Lodge Center Arena. “The boys put everything together. Their hard work and their belief in the system helped propel them to the win. It all came together.” The Blizzard were relentless right from the get-go. They immediately put pressure on the RAM goalie and put 24 shots on goal in just the first period, compared to RAM’s eight Just a little over three minutes into the contest, Bryce Roufs got the first Blizzard goal with an assist to David Doty. With a couple minutes

Sellent and Hibbs got pins. Nolan Johnson got a decision. “We didn’t match up well with them,” shared the coach. “There weren’t any real close matches. It was the last of the night. The kids wrestled well all night and have stuff to work on,” stated Coach Bartlett. At Flambeau, LFGS lost 31-24 with nobody getting a win of any kind. “This

is the worst I’ve ever seen our guys wrestle,” exclaimed the coach. “We weren’t aggressive. We didn’t move our feet. We didn’t do anything.” Versus Clear Lake Jan. 17, the wrestlers came out with a 42-24 win. Landyn Johnson had the only win. “Clear Lake had nine seniors graduate last year and unfortunately didn’t have any incoming freshmen. This is very rare for them. Their 113 moved up and we moved up Hunter (Sellent) to a tough 145 buy and was wrestling well until he was caught.”

The joy of the Lord

Pastor Emory L. Johnson New Hope Lutheran Church

Whenever I would read the Bible verse from Nehemiah 8:10, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Joy of the Lord is your strength,â&#x20AC;? I always thought it was referring to my joy in the Lord. I thought it meant that my joy in the Lord was my strength. Then one day a Bible study friend told me that Nehemiah 8:10 was referring to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy and not mine. So I called a Hebrew scholar in Israel and asked him if the Bible verse in Nehemiah 8:10 is referring to my joy in the Lord or to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy. He immediately said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well it is referring to our joy, our pleasure, in the Lordâ&#x20AC;?. I responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is that what it says in Hebrew?â&#x20AC;? So he opened his Hebrew Bible and

began to read from Nehemiah 8:10. With a surprised tone in his voice he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my, this is referring to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy.â&#x20AC;? It is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy in me that gives me strength. Yes, my joy in the Lord is a strength, but it is only a strength because of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy in me. So what gives God joy in me? Nehemiah 8:1-12 gives us a picture of this. The people gathered together to hear Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word. They were attentive to His Word. The Word of God was explained to them so that they understood it and they praised and worshiped the Lord. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy in us comes from believing and

SACRED HEART OF JESUS & MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH

following Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word which invites us to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and to trust and obey Him. Read John 15:1-11. In these verses Jesus tells us that He loves us and that we should abide in His Love and keep His commandments. Then in verse 11 Jesus says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.â&#x20AC;? You see, it is our focus on God, our love for His Word, our obedience to His Commandments and our life in Jesus that gives God joy in us. And it is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy in us, His pleasure in us, that gives us strength.
