Inﬂuenza potentially made stronger by vaccines

Public safety committee has brief discussion on building bigger county jail

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The flu season has been in full swing for a few months. The seasonal disease has mutated over the years, and professionals say it has been made stronger as medicine continues to process vaccines. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) this season’s flu is widespread in 49 states, Wisconsin and Minnesota are covered in high levels of the flu. “I believe that the low effective rate of the vaccine this year is due to the mutations that the virus made in the processing of the vaccine itself,” said Anna Treague, nurse for Public Health. “That is at least part of the reason that influenza cases are so widespread this year.” The flu or influenza is a seasonal contagious respiratory disease that is caused by influenza viruses. The CDC says the dominant strain

BURNETT COUNTY––Near the end of all committee meetings held at the Government Center is a spot on the agenda for announcing future items. There is usually one or two members who make a brief statement and then the meeting is adjourned. At the public safety committee meeting last week, committee member Gene Olson suggested they talk about the size of the county jail and a need for expansion. “This committee needs to start discussing the dispatch center and a bigger jail,” Olson said. Olson then asked Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm how many inmates and beds the county jail has. He said they have about 50 inmates and only 26 beds. “We’re (sending) the rest of them to Barron, Polk and possibly Washburn Counties,” Olson said. County board chairman Don Taylor said, “The problem - as always - is how do we pay for it.” Olson said with the current crime rate, does the county have a choice in terms of building a bigger jailing facility.

Volunteering for Super Bowl was wonderful JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Lynda Young from Danbury was in Minneapolis all of last week volunteering at U.S. Bank Stadium and all of the city for the Super Bowl. Young runs the Danbury Caregiver’s Sweet Shop at 2523 Main St. in Danbury, which will open again

on Feb. 9. “It was a wonderful time,” Young said. Her twin sister, Leesa, asked her to apply for the volunteering job and with little hesitation she said yes. They both applied, interviewed and were accepted to work at volunteer headquarters for the week. “It was a blast,” Lynda said. “We

worked all over the place, doing different activities and meeting people from all over the world.” She added that a lot of the work was simply directing people around the festivities, which lasted all week long. “We worked the skyways and were directing fans where to go,” SEE SUPER BOWL, PAGE 2

SUPER BOWL: Volunteer speaks of her experience CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Lynda said. “For the most part the fans were very friendly.” Young said one of the most interesting moments was catching a man allegedly selling counterfeit tickets. She also did security for the kitten bowl.

“The weather was good except on Saturday and Sunday, when it was extremely cold,” Lynda said. “But we were working inside.” She explained that her favorite part was the fans. “Working in the skyways right before the game was amazing,” Lynda said. “The fans were fun to

be with from both teams.” Young had an excellent seat during the game and didn’t have to work during the actual game. Her favorite part of the game was the Prince tribute during the halftime show.

Mental health training to be presented

As part of its mission, the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF) supports nonprofits in Polk and Burnett counties. Typically, the Nurturing Your Nonprofit series of educational events offers training and information so that nonprofits can operate more effectively and efficiently. The NACF is partnering with the Mental Health Task Force of Polk County, with sponsorship from the United Way St. Croix Valley, to provide a training on two different aspects of mental health on Feb. 15. •Adverse Childhood Experiences

(ACESs): Understanding the Impact of Early Childhood Trauma on Our Community (available for continuing education credit). •Make It Ok - How We Can Help Stop Mental Illness Stigma Through Conversations and Understanding. These workshops are meant to help nonprofits, teachers, law enforcement, county employees, healthcare workers, community leaders and the public understand and address some significant mental health challenges faced by too many people in our communities.

The event is open to anyone who wants to join the conversation. The event will be held 1 - 4:30 p.m. at the Milltown Community Center, and costs $10 per person. Pre-registration is required to ensure enough materials, and can be completed at http://www.northwestalliancecf.org/. Prepayment is optional. To prepay, please use the “Buy Now” button. You may also pay at the door by check on the day of the training (written out to NACF).

BURNETT COUNTY––The jury trial of David J.R. Ohnstad, 24, Cushing, has been cancelled and next week he will be in court for a plea and possible sentencing hearing in Polk County on Feb. 12. Ohnstad is facing five felony counts of first-degree child sexual assault with a child under the age of 13 in Burnett County. He also Ohnstad faces three identical charges in Polk County. All eight charges have been combined into one case for Burnett County District Attorney, Bill Norine. According to court officials if Ohnstad does not accept the plea bargain, a jury trial will be rescheduled later this year. He was charged in May of 2016 in Burnett County and in April of 2017 in Polk County. According to the criminal complaint, in 2013 the victim first stated her claim to law enforcement after an apparent drug overdose. She said she was in elementary school when the alleged assaults began. The victim’s family and Ohnstad’s family knew each other well and were often at gatherings together. The account in the complaint continues to detail multiple incidents of alleged sexual assaults that coincided with events between the two families. The victim described the assaults in detail and said they continued until she threatened to tell people about Ohnstad’s conduct. The hearing will be held at the Polk County Justice Center. Judge Daniel Tolan of Polk County was assigned the case last year. Ohnstad faces up to 60 years in prison for each of the eight felony charges.

30 seconds will cost ya $5 million It’s 2018. A large majority of my generation does not care for commercials. We simply don’t have time for them. We have Netflix, TV on demand, and all media is free without commercials if you know the back channels of the internet. There is a reason the MASH series finale had 121 million viewers in 1983. There were not nearly as many options for what to watch. Anyway, nobody wants to hear me talk about my generation. (I could go on for hours about Hawkeye, Trapper and martinis, but we will save that for another time.) The Super Bowl is the only thing on television - the ONLY thing that we watch when we cannot afford to miss the commercials. “I’ll go to the bathroom and get Sentinel snacks during the game or halftime show,” most will say. Editor NBC was charging upwards of $5 Jonathan Richie million for 30 seconds of air time, so somebody may have lost $2.5 million when the screen went blank for 15 seconds during the second quarter I was not excited for Justin Timberlake and for good reason, he’s a retread for the halftime show. In an ideal world, they would have Chicago playing the halftime show (Chicago, originally the Chicago Transit Authority, is probably in the top five of American bands of all time.) Also, it’s insane that Janet Jackson took all the blame for the wardrobe malfunction in 2004. It would have been great if Jay-Z would perform, but that didn’t happen. But they sign Timberlake because after he brought sexy back, he took some time off and is now making tunes with Chris Stapleton. His performance seemed underwhelming to me, but I digress. Here are the top commercials from the Super Bowl and thanks to YouTube (powered by Google) we can enjoy these commercials for an entire week before they get stale and we forget about them. The best commercial of the evening was the Doritos one with Peter Dinklage lip syncing to Busta Rhymes promoting some “blaze” chips. Then it continued with Morgan Freeman lip syncing to Missy Elliott about Mt. Dew. It had everything you want in a Super Bowl commercial; star-power, humor and tension. The Tide ads were interesting. I cannot believe they didn’t have a PSA about not eating Tide Pods, but I guess that doesn’t fit with their brand. Like always, there were too many movie trailers and television show promos. The added twist was all of the Olympic spots . Lastly, I enjoyed the game. Much more scoring than anyone anticipated. But the real star of the game was the offensive linemen for both teams. There were no sacks going into the fourth quarter. It just so happened that the only sack was a turnover and was huge for the Eagles win. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Say it ain’t so, Joe Millions of Americans begin and fuel their days with a cup of hot coffee. The hot drink has been consumed for nearly 600 years, dating back to 15th century Yemen. The drink’s caffeine has served as a kick starter for workers getting many things moving in the morning. With its wide spread use, coffee From the Publisher’s has been the target of many Desk controversies over the years when Tom Stangl it comes to the d i k’ effect ff drink’s on the health of its users. Coffee’s bad for you, coffee’s good for you – no, wait coffee’s really bad for you — check that, it turns out it’s good for you. The longer I live, the more confused I get about the benefits or the risks. I lived a great deal of my life avoiding coffee. I became entranced by the espresso laced chocolate milk that is a mocha until I realized that I gained three pounds smelling the drink. I have finally settled into a one cup of coffee in the morning routine. I have nearly become able to drink the stuff black. Okay, I will never be able to

down the stuff straight like my parents before me. Some stevia and mocha creamer and I’m good to go. Sorry, mom and dad. In the latest volley in the health benefits/health risks associated with coffee, the non-profit Council for Education and Research on Toxics has been pursuing a lawsuit in California since 2010 to post warnings about acrylamide, a chemical compound that forms when coffee beans are roasted at high temperatures. The group wants coffee shops to post a warning about the potential link between acrylamide and cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) lists coffee as one of the major food sources of acrylamide, along with potato chips, crackers, bread, cookies, breakfast cereals, canned black olives and prune juice. Acrylamide is also a component of tobacco smoke. People who smoke have three to five times the acrylamide exposure markers in their blood than non-smokers, according to the NCI. To decrease the acrylamide content of foods, decrease the cooking time, the NCI recommends. The presence of acrylamide is not currently regulated in food, but it is regulated in drinking water and some materials that come

into contact with food. The NCI reports that, in terms of cancer, a “large number” of studies in humans have found “no consistent evidence that dietary acrylamide exposure is associated with the risk of any type of cancer.” Coffee consumption has been shown to be good for us in some ways. It can reduce the risk of medical conditions ranging from type 2 diabetes to Parkinson’s disease and certain cancers including liver, uterine and skin cancer. So I guess this news isn’t really news at all. There are people who think that coffee is bad for you and surprise — people who think it is good for you. It depends on who you listen to and when you are listening. Like everything else in your life, it is best to enjoy everything in moderation. Finding the key to moderation is elusive for many of us, but well worth pursuing. So enjoy that cup of coffee in the morning and even a piece of slightly burnt toast – or don’t. It’s still a free country. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

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.

Our clean drinking water or their proﬁts? RAJ SHUKLA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RIVER ALLIANCE OF WISCONSIN

Wisconsin residents, concerned about their own health and the health of their local economy, demand that politicians do something to stem the rising risk of pollution. Politicians make a head-fake toward action, only to side with corporate special interests that would rather avoid responsibility than find a solution. The script is playing out yet again as state policymakers consider a modest response to the drinking water crisis that sees parts of northeastern Wisconsin drowning in manure from large dairies. The DNR has proposed reasonable limits about where, when and how farmers can spread manure in sensitive areas in and around Kewaunee County, near Green Bay. The rule, offered after years of deliberation and dialogue among a range of community and industry stakeholders, is designed to protect drinking water tainted by bacteria and other pathogens that travel from manure on fields to wells that thousands of people rely on daily. Science suggests the rules aren’t enough— southern and western Wisconsin bedrock has the same “karst” characteristics that make pollution more likely from manure spreading. The tight focus on northeastern Wisconsin was, in fact, a compromise approach that gives us a path toward a more comprehensive statewide solution. But even a small step toward sensible protections for Wisconsin communities has drawn resistance from corporate lobbyists who seek to gut proposed rules—cutting the number of wells that would be protected in half. Whether corporate special interests will convince politicians that clean tap water for all is less important than profits for a few large polluters remains an open question. Natural Resources Board members will consider the proposed rule Jan. 24. Approval clears the path for it to go to the legislature, where leaders

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

would have the option of taking no action and allow the rule — called NR 151 — to take effect. Legislators could also bow to industry lobbyists and try to further limit local protections from the illnesses and lower property values that go hand-in-hand with unchecked pollution from manure spreading. So what is a state to do when it relies on clean water for healthy people and its economy driven by agriculture and tourism? Three things: 1. Embrace the modest approach embodied by the proposed NR 151 rule. We cannot afford to wait for a less robust approach to fail. 2. Study the problem of manure spreading across Wisconsin. Northeast Wisconsin is not the only vulnerable area and state funds should be allocated to understand the true scope of the issue. 3. Enforce rigorous standards with additional county conservation staff across the state. You and I can do much to ensure sound protections are enacted. It begins with voicing concerns during comment periods for the proposed rule. Contact your legislators to voice your support for strong drinking water protections across the state. We can also use our power as consumers to encourage more responsible farming and to celebrate the many farms who work to protect our waters while they provide the goods we find in grocery stores. For now, we must all recognize and respond to the threat posed by concentrated manure in sensitive parts of the state. People lives are very much at risk. So is the economic vitality of affected communities. The DNR’s NR 151 revision is a solid first step. We strongly encourage policymakers to take it with the support of River Alliance of Wisconsin and our thousands of members.

the State of Wisconsin has an obligation to co-manage wildlife populations with our sovereign neighbors, the Lake Superior Ojibwe. This was reaffirmed decades ago by the Supreme Court of the United States. As you can imagine, the Ojibwe and Menominee tribes are opposed to this bill as it is highly disrespectful to their culture and heritage. As a biologist by trade, I fully understand the need to manage animal populations. Enactment of Jarchow’s legislation will have the opposite result by ensuring the wolf remains on the Endangered Species Act list indefinitely. Rep. Jarchow is a lawyer who is more interested in spreading misinformation than understanding wolf management dynamics. Finally, allow me to point out that Rep. Jarchow was not even at the public hearing to testify for his bill, AB 712, as he was too busy campaigning to become a State Senator. There’s no doubt in my mind that his Letter to the Editor filled with deceit is nothing more than retaliation for me pointing out his absence at the committee hearing. Warm regards, Nick Milroy State Representative 73rd Assembly District

To the Editor: I concur with Lee Balek who recently wrote a letter to the editor entitled: Don’t Upset the Balance of Nature. Her contention is that Wisconsin Assembly Bill 712 and its companion bill, Wisconsin Senate Bill 602, bills that will not allow the use of state funds to enforce laws pertaining to how wolves are managed, will be detrimental not only to the wolf population but also to a healthy deer herd, since wolves prey on the sick and diseased. With the spread of chronic wasting disease, having a natural check (wolves) is important. Balance, as in all of nature, is vital. The assembly bill has already passed. The senate bill (602) has not. Please contact your state senator, Janet Bewley (608-2663510), to express your concerns about this bill. More information is available online: Wisconsin Senate Bill 602. Patricia Pesko

To the Editor: I would be remiss if I didn’t respond to the deceitful Letter to the Editor by Representative Adam Jarchow regarding my vote on Assembly Bill 712 (AB 712), legislation authored by him that would put our law enforcement in the predicament of having to ignore federal and state law and would end all Department of Natural Resources (DNR) funding for wolf population research and management. Rep. Jarchow states that I voted no on his legislation because I “caved to animal special interest groups in Madison.” There are many reasons I voted no, and not a single one of them has anything to do with animal activists. If Rep. Jarchow would have shown up at the committee meeting when the vote was being taken on his bill, he would have heard my thorough explanation as to why my vote was no. Let me be clear. I support delisting of wolves by the federal government, followed by a managed hunt by the Wisconsin DNR. In fact, I voted for legislation that created a wolf hunting and trapping season in Wisconsin. I also have worked with the Congressional Sportsmen Foundation and our congressional delegation to remove wolves from the Endangered Species Act list. If Rep. Jarchow and the other authors of his bill spent more time talking with members of Congress than attacking their colleagues, the issue of wolves may have already been resolved and he wouldn’t need to introduce legislation that puts our law enforcement officers and sportsmen in the crosshairs. Allowing sportsmen and women to randomly shoot wolves, which would occur under Jarchow’s bill, would cause problems on many levels. First of all, the DNR would not be able to keep tabs on the wolf population. Secondly, this bill would paint all sportsmen in a negative light. Poaching animals is unethical and the legislature should never condone these shameful acts. Thirdly, this bill may jeopardize federal wildlife grants and would certainly be contested in court. Sportsmen and taxpayers of Wisconsin could be on the hook for untold millions in lost wildlife grants and litigation fees. Lastly,

JAIL: Expansion mulled

FLU: Flu shot still recommended as season continues

“The problem is we can’t raise taxes,” Taylor said. Olson then suggested raising fees. He said he had to pay a fee when he gave up his CDL license, and added there are fees for everything. “When all is said and done, in most cases much more is said than actually gets done,” Olson said. “These officers (working as jailers/dispatchers) are putting their lives on the line every day.” Wilhelm said he suggested a bigger facility at his first public safety meeting after he become Sheriff in 2015. County Administrator Nate Ehalt said the county has been asking the state legislature to allow exemptions so they can raise fees, taxes and levy limits and, so far, the state has said no. “We have asked before and failed to get their approval, but we will keep asking,” Ehalt said. Ehalt added that most of the difficulty with building a new facility would be cost. Taylor suggested it would be about a million dollars. Ehalt also said that it also comes down to operational costs and staffing the facility. “Well I’m saying we have to take this a lot more seriously,” Olson said. “We have to keep officers and their families safe.”

this year is H3N2, which tends to be more severe and causes more severe symptoms than most other strains. Treague said that symptoms include fever, chills, headache, dry cough and aching of muscles and joints. Symptoms usually appear one to three days after being infected with most people recovering within a week. “The H3N2 strain also has proven to not be as impacted by the vaccines as other strains,” Treague said. That being said, Treague still suggests everyone should get a flu shot. “If you are able, get the flu shot,” Treague said. “Even if the flu vaccine isn’t as effective as it has been in years past, it does help. Some protection is better than no protection.” A number of different influenza vaccines are produced every year. The most common uses a chicken

egg to grow the virus, which is why people with an egg allergy need a special type of vaccine. Some vaccines are trivalent (containing three virus strains) or quadrivalent (containing four virus strains.) Treague said the flu shot is a inactive/killed virus and the nasal spray form is a live, but weakened strain. Typically production for the next year’s flu shots are developed before the current season of the flu ends. Treague explained that there are two main viruses associated with the flu, type A and type B. The virus rides droplets of moisture that go from person to person when they sneeze, cough, or talk. Those droplets are then inhaled by another person, infecting them. “I think it is important that people know how serious influenza can be for certain people, especially those who are very young and the older population,” Treague said.

She said this is because at the beginning and end of one’s life their immune system is not as strong and their bodies have to work harder to fight off viruses and compensate for the symptoms of influenza. “Fortunately, in Wisconsin to date there has been no influenza-associated pediatric deaths reported, whereas nationwide there have been 37,” Treague said. Treague said anyone experiencing symptoms should see their doctor immediately so it can be caught in the early stages and treated with antiviral medication. She also stressed proper hand hygiene and covering one’s mouth when coughing is instrumental in not spreading the flu. “Another thing to help avoid spreading influenza, if you are sick, stay home,” Treague said “Please take a break from daily errands and rest, don’t venture out unless needed, to prevent the spreading of the virus through those moisture droplets.”

Sheriff’s Department future hirings “A full-time radio administrator is something we need to take a serious look at,” Wilhelm said. “This person would be working with all the towers and communication systems in the county, including 911 calls.” Wilhelm explained that the county needs this position for the benefit of the community. He said the position would work with the communication towers in the county, a sore spot for some. “I go to the fire association meetings and listen,” Wilhelm said. “The towers is there number one complaint.” County Chair Don Taylor said that has been their complaint for the last 40 years. Mark Schmidt, Jail Administrator, explained to the committee that they currently have three candidates currently in the running to fill the part-time jailer/dispatch positions at the county jail. “Hopefully these people will be hired very, very soon,” Wilhelm said. Schmidt added that hiring these people will immediately be beneficial to his staff. The committee approved filling the vacant Deputy position in the sheriff’s department

He added that he is in the market for old smart phones to help develop his damage assessment app. “We’re collecting iPhone 4 s or later and Androids that can handle jelly bean 4.1,” Tolbert said. “So if anybody has smart phones, throw them my way.” Jelly bean is the Android operating system. Tolbert explained that later that day he was headed to observe an active shooter scenario at Clear Lake. In May, he will be going to Madison where he will be a part of Dark Sky, a state-wide power outage simulation. “People in Madison are worried everyone is going to go in to the city if there’s a power outage,” County Chair Don Taylor said. “Up here we’re worried about people coming to us (for food and water), the rural parts if the power goes out.” Tolbert said his department, along with the National Weather Service, will be hosting an event called Skywarn Spotter Training on April 17 at Jackson Fire Hall. The training event is free and open to the public.

GOVERNMENT CENTER— During the Public Safety committee meeting last week the committee approved the purchase of body cameras for the Sheriff’s department. The money for the cameras is in the budget, but the department still needs to construct their policy on using the cameras and storing the footage. Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm explained that the policy for the body cameras is still being developed. He said he has been speaking with other departments around the state and has taken all the information into consideration when developing their policy. Sheriff’s Department Computer Specialist Stacy Hopke said that the money for body cameras is part of their 2018 budget. She explained how she had looked into multiple vendors for storing the data and that the best and most cost effective option would be working with the county Information Technology (IT) Department. James Leckel, IT Director said the department will be replacing storage equipment this year and should be able to store all of the body camera footage. Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers was at the meeting and was asked about his department’s policy on body cameras. “We take footage and put it on a DVD and stick into the case file until the case is resolved,” Sybers said. “I know that having that video has saved me on a couple

different lawsuits.”

Four felony charges ﬁled against man connected with officer tasing and large meth seizure JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––Diego Garza, 44, attempted to flee the probation office three weeks ago, which led to a fight involving four officers and a chase into the woods. Garza tased an officer repeatedly and eventually was taken into custody after being tased multiple times. He has been charged with possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, a class C felony, two counts of Diego Garza battery to law enforcement officer, a class H felony, disarming a peace officer, a class H felony, resisting an officer, a class A misdemeanor, possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors. Fight According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 16 Burnett County Detective Jamison Wiltrout was called to respond to the probation office to take Garza into custody. Garza was speaking with a probation agent when Wiltrout arrived and told him he was under arrest. Garza started walking towards Wiltrout. There was a struggle in the hallway with Garza trying to push past the de-

tective. Then Wiltrout grabbed hold of Garza, taking him to the ground in the probation office. Chief Deputy Scott Burns was in the lobby area and was locked out. Wiltrout eventually hit the door handle, allowing Burns access. Burns deployed his taser and struck Garza in the abdominal area, who then fell to the floor outside of the probation office. The probes from the taser became disconnected from the taser, and Garza stood up and began running towards the woods. “He was pretty strung out on meth at the time,” Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said at a meeting this week when detailing parts of the event. “It was pretty tough to take him down for a while there.” Wiltrout chased Garza down and tackled him in the snow. While the two were fighting on the ground, Wiltrout felt some electric shocks and realized Garza had begun tasing him. Burns approached to help Wiltrout in the scuffle when he dropped his taser, and Garza picked it up. Wiltrout continued to struggle, gaining control of Garza and his hand with the taser. Wiltrout was continually tased in the thigh, wrists and hands. The complaint says, “Garza did not appear to feel pain at this point.” Burns was also tangled in the wires during the fight and received three or four shocks. Wiltrout had several burn

marks on his thigh and temporarily lost feeling in his hands from nerve damage. Wiltrout was unable to fight or draw his service weapon, the complaint said. Garza then began again retreating towards the woods. Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputies, Travis Thiex and Josh Henry, arrived on the scene about five minutes after the incident began and were notified that Garza had taken Burns’ taser and went into the woods. They caught up with Garza in the woods and ordered him to the ground, but he continued walking away. Thiex pointed his pistol at Garza and told him to stop. Garza pointed the taser at Thiex and pulled the trigger, but it did not fire. Thiex fired his taser and Garza dropped to the ground, he then deployed his pepper spray when Garza lunged for his taser. Garza was sprayed again and still did not drop the taser. At this point, Henry fired his taser at Garza and he went to the ground again. Henry fired the taser several more times as Garza attempted to break the wires. Thiex struck Garza with his baton on his hand. Garza continued to resist and tried to flee, but eventually collapsed and fell to his knees. Vehicle search Burnett County Sheriff’s Detective Julie Mead searched the vehicle and

saw a purse in the center console. Inside she allegedly found four capped syringes, a small gem-style bag with trace amounts of a crystalline substance and a glass smoking pipe that smelled like marijuana. She found another gem-style bag in the vehicle with a crystalline substance and a plastic bag tied off with green plant material. A sample was tested and came back positive for marijuana. The next day the vehicle search continued. Mead found two glass bubble pipes with white residue that later tested positive for methamphetamine. She continued to find baggies with small amounts of meth. Then two pill containers were found with over 20 grams of meth. A search of the rear cargo area uncovered .22 caliber bullets locked in a sentry safe. Also in the safe they found a ibuprofen bottle with 172.7 grams that field-tested positively as meth. Garza remains in custody at the Burnett County Jail. He could face up to $100,000 fine and 40 years imprisoned if convicted for possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine. He also faces $10,000 in fines and six years imprisoned for both counts of battery to law enforcement and disarming a peace officer. He will have his preliminary hearing on Feb. 13 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen at the Burnett County Courthouse.

WHS’s Tiger Manufacturing produces for Nexen WEBSTER—Tiger Manufacturing at Webster High School has been gearing up to produce metal parts, and recently received their first check from Nexen Group, Inc. for construction of parts used in Nexen’s own processes. Nexen manufactures precision motion control components, power transmissions and web tension control products. This fall Tiger Mfg manufactured two parts for Nexen, a piston and bracket for a caliper. The students have to hold a .002 tolerance on the piston, which is comparable to splitting a single human hair into three parts. The class took a field trip to see their parts get assembled. Touring Nexen, teacher Roy Ward noted, “It was neat to see our work as part of an assembly being shipped out worldwide as well as all the amazing machines they have. It is really mind boggling. It is also great for students to see the excellent career opportunity they have right in their backyard. There are wonderful people who work at Nexen and give back to our community. “ Part of the school’s technical education department, Tiger Manufacturing combines computer aided design with manu-

That paved the way for them to purchase a brand-new Haas 3-Axis Mini Mill, which expanded the business into the metals area. Last summer three staff

Well that darned old groundhog saw his shadow, so I guess we are in for six more weeks of winter. They had to keep moving him around to get the shadow, so maybe it is a false alarm. We can only hope. Seventeen came to play bingo and enjoy the treats furnished by Pat and Harry. Marge L. was the winner of the big pot. Come and join the fun, we play at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Judy B. won at dominoes and Harry was the big winner at pool. They play at 1 p.m. every Thursday. Always room for more. The winners at Wii bowling were: Pat N. had high individual game and series, 248 and 461, The Shakers had high team game and series 792 and 1484. Splits picked up were: Mary 4-9-10, Dana 5-10,

Judy 3-7, Harvey 4-10. We have to give out three gold stars this week to Bill P., Darrold, and Gordy, as they each had the same score for both of their games. That is what you call being consistent. Birthday wishes to: Mary Thompson, Rod Hopkins, Peggy Lawless, Donna Lehman and all others celebrating their special day in February. The potluck and horse race will be Sat., Feb. 10. Set up is at 11:30 a.m., lunch at 12 p.m., and the Horse Race after lunch. Our next monthly meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 20. Hope we have a big turn out. You can’t always have a good day, but you can always face a bad day with a good attitude. See you at the center.

Festival Theatre is Hopelessly Romantic

St. Croix Festival Theatre’s annual Valentine’s show, Hopelessly Romantic, will return for the eighth time, Saturday Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m. The cafe will be open throughout the event and there are Valentine’s gift bags for purchase. The St. Croix Valley fixture offers a pleasant evening of improv, comedy, and music. There is the annual poetry contest involving romantic haikus and free verse. “Hopelessly Romantic gives audiences a chance to look at the lighter side of love and poke a little fun at this romantic holiday,” says Artistic

parts on the computer. Students then create fixtures to hold parts, set up, and operate both manual and CNC lathes and mills. Students rotate through one of five adults to give them a technical level education opportunity in high school. Honeysett works alongside students on the new Haas CNC mill. Ward teaches students in

the classroom how to design and program the parts to be machined. Al Rand and Larry O’Connell volunteer daily to teach the students on the manual equipment. They also have a retired Nexen employee, Gene Stanchfield, to overseee the CNC production and inspection. Webster High School’s relationship with Nexen has always been solid. It began in 1998, when Operations Manager Dan Conroy approached Ward to ask if there was anything Nexen could do for the school’s technical program. Nexen was a huge partner in getting Tiger Manufacturing started in 2006, and a couple years ago, Nexen donated a Haas CNC lathe to the department, which Dan Gomulak maintains. Nexen employee Al Steiner has offered valuable instruction to the teachers regarding the programming aspects of the machine. “When the students need material for a project, tooling is needed, or something breaks, Nexen is always willing to help, Ward says. “They have supported our program in so many ways, it is nice to be partnering with them.”

Associate Rachel Kuhnle. “This year we’re appealing to all ages with some wonderfully comedic scenes. Everyone is getting involved.” For the event, the theatre is proud to welcome back Gillian Constable who was an apprentice in the summer of 2017 and was featured in 1776. For those interested in the attending Hopelessly Romantic, tickets are $10 and can be purchased at FestivalTheatre.org, by emailing festivaltheatreboxoffice@gmail.com or by calling the box office at 715-483-3387.

Second Outdoorsman’s Dream Raffle set to fund stem cell treatment

From our heart to yours

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The second “Outdoorsman’s Dream Raffle” to help Don Christensen in his fight with multiple sclerosis will be held on Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. at Tony’s Riverside in Spooner. Christensen was diagnosed with MS in 1996 and confined to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic since 2004. He learned about a new medication to combat the MS that had a 90 percent mortality rate and concluded a stem cell transplant was what was in his best interest. “Some very incredible people have put together some terrific prizes,” Christensen said. “The wonderful folks at Shedding Hope are conducting a raffle of those prizes, the proceeds of which will go toward a second stem cell procedure.” He had his first procedure in Panama in April 2015 and hopes this raffle will help fund another trip for more stem cell treatments. Christensen said they have $12,000 worth of prizes to raffle off, including; • Bear Paw six-day combination deer/turkey archery hunts in Minnesota for two hunters. • Hogsback Ranch, Wisconsin Whitetail hunt. • Border Country outfitters

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it as your fate. Although you lack the power to change some risk factors — such as family history, sex or age — there are some key heart disease prevention steps you can take to reduce your risk. Here are ten heart disease prevention tips to get you started. 1. Try eating a small handful of almonds, walnuts, peanuts, or pistachios daily. 2. Aim for seven hours of sleep each night. 3. Watch your waistline. A waist greater than 40 inches for men and more than 35 inches for women increases your risk. 4. Indulge in a daily dose of dark chocolate (no more than three candy kisses). 5. Know your total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, glucose, and blood pressure numbers. 6. Decrease your screen time to two hours or less each day. 7. Surround yourself with happy people. 8. Never start and if smoking—quit. 9. Recognize symptoms of a heart attack. 10. Incorporate fruits and vegetables of different colors at each meal. You can avoid heart problems in the future by adopting a healthy lifestyle today. For more information please visit www.heart.org. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

Shell Lake Arts Center announces exciting addition to the adult big band workshop SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Arts Center (SLAC) is thrilled to announce that it will be adding a vocal jazz component with new instructor Keri Johnsrud to the popular Adult Big Band Workshop which will be held June 15-17 this year. Johnsrud is a Chicago-based jazz vocalist/composer/teacher and Iowa native. She headlines some of the nation’s top venues, including the Jazz Showcase, the Green Mill, and Cornelia Street Café, performing jazz standards and her own original music. “The Shell Lake Arts Center features top-notch programming and is on par with internationally known schools, but with a much more intimate, personal feel.

The staff is incredibly warm and dedicated to making the center a place where all students can learn in a supportive environment. Also, the Northwoods location is incredibly beautiful.” Ms. Johnsrud stated. Johnsrud’s weekend-long vocal jazz instruction will touch on a number of topics essential to singing with a big band and smaller groups, but will primarily focus on technique related issues, including improvising with lyrics, key transposition, and vocal phrasing. She will also guide students in selecting repertoire, communicating with bandmates and the audience, and in understanding the business side of music.

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

Like a lot of animal rescues and shelters, the Humane Society of Burnett County is home to many stray animals during the cold winter months. February is no exception. Two of the strays that have come to HSBC recently are Star and Holly. Star is a five-year old spayed female Hound mix. Star spent most of her life outside on a chain, so she would love to have her own bed and family to snuggle with—without cats, please! Star is very friendly and seeks attention from humans but is pretty selective about her dog friends. She probably would be best as Star the only pet and be given time to learn to socialize with other dogs over time. Star has a beautiful red coat and soulful eyes. If you are seeking a regal cat for a new pet, meet Holly! Also five years old, Holly is spayed, very people oriented, usually pretty mellow but loves her catnip! She is tolerant of other cats if they are quiet and friendly, but HSBC staff aren’t not sure how well she likes dogs. It might take a little time for Holly to adjust to a new home,but aided by a human who truly appreciates her royal stature, Holly will do just fine! If you find an animal that appears to be lost or is known to be a stray, contact HSBC at 715866-4096. Space at the shelter is at a premium right now, but staff can advise as to the best course of action for getting the animal out of the cold. One of the features of our new facility, the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption and Holly Education Center, is more kennels and condos so more animals can be rescued. HSBC is also expanding its foster home program to care for animals outside of the shelter until they find their forever home. If you are interested in meeting either Star or Holly, please call HSBC at 715-866-4096 to arrange for a meet and greet during public hours, Tuesday – Friday noon - 5 p.m. or Saturday 11a.m. - 3 p.m. Both HSBC and the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption and Education Center have Facebook pages – like and follow both of those pages to get the latest on missing or stray animals and progress on the new facility.

Bundle up and gather the augers, tip-ups, poles bait and buckets, it’s time for more ice fishing competition – this time in Webster! Bumps’ Lakeside Bar and the Burnett County Tourism Coalition are sponsoring the Devil’s Lake Ice Fishing Contest on Saturday, Feb. 17 starting at 10 a.m. It’ll be a family-friendly event with prizes for adults and kids catching the largest fish in each of four categories: Northern, Bass, Walleye and panfish. Adults can win $50 and kids (under 12 years old) can win $20 worth of fishing gear. A $5 entry fee for adults will be sold at Bump’s and at the Devil’s Lake boat launch off County Rd. C. There will also be raffle drawings all day.

The top three raffle prizes are a three-person fish shack valued at $500, a 40” flat screen TV and a Mr. Heater portable heater. Other prize-winners will be drawn every 20 minutes. Raffle tickets are $5 each or five for $20 and are on sale now at The Fishbowl (Danbury), Wild Bill’s and Affordable Auto Sales (Webster), and The Main Store (Webb Lake). Tickets will also be sold at Bump’s the day of the contest. Ticket holders need not be present to win. Proceeds will go toward the development of Burnett County ATV trails and campground.

Following his 1956 graduation from Duluth Central High School, he enlisted in the US Navy. As an enlisted man, and with the help of the Navigators, Ken found Jesus and became immersed in the Christian faith that transformed his life and the lives of so many around him. After his first Naval tour, Ken attended the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he met his wife-to-be, Janet. They were married in Duluth, in 1963. The ministry became his calling, and Ken attended Dallas Theological Seminary, and then Talbot Theological Seminary, while pastoring a church in the Los Angeles area. In 1966, Ken was recommissioned as a Lieutenant Commander with the Navy and Marine Corps, serving as an officer in the Chaplain Corp, notably during the Vietnam War. He was discharged from active duty with full honors in 1969 and remained in the service of military personnel at Fort Snelling Chapel as a Resident Navy Chaplain. Upon completion of his active military service, Ken went on to pastor churches in Iowa and Wisconsin, moving his family to Grantsburg in 1973. During those years, he continued his academic theological pursuits, culminating in a doctoral degree in the new field of Marketplace Ministry. In 1982, Ken founded Life Management Inc, a first-of-its-kind Christian employee counseling agency, where he ministered to and assisted countless employees in companies large and small as one of the first independent EAP (employee assistance program) providers in the country. He concurrently spent ten years as Senior Staff Chaplain at St. Paul-Ramsey Medical Center (now Regions Hospital) and, in that context, he served as an adjunct professor for Bethel Seminary, teaching crisis and other counseling. Ken’s primary joy was to open doors for Jesus. He was a gifted preacher of God’s Word, who served devotedly throughout his life and especially during his ‘retirement years’ as an interim minister, bible study leader and pulpit supply for area churches, touching and shepherding many parishioners, mentees, and churches through transitions, big and small. Ken was always active – notably as a veteran marathon runner-– but also enjoying hiking, cross-country biking, wilderness canoeing and camping, as well as being a grandpa to his six wonderful grandkids. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, parishioners, mentees and coffee klatch cronies, who all celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his Creator. Ken is survived by his wife, Janet (nee Wilson); his daughters: Kerri (Dan) LeJeune, Circle Pines, MN; Kim (Cassian) Lee, Eden Prairie; and Kami Hyatt, Circle Pines, MN; son, Kirk (Jennifer) Hyatt, Cumberland; grandchildren: Emilie and Kennan LeJeune, Ania and Siri Hyatt, Kalina and Carissa Lee; and sisters: Bernice (Matt) Palkki and Bonnie (Herb, deceased) Winn. He is preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Helen (Phil) Palkki. The family would like to thank the staff at Abbott Northwestern Cardiac ICU for their world-class care every step of the way.

#sirenphotostory contest highlights area fun SIREN—The Siren Chamber of Commerce recently sponsored the #sirenphotostory photo contest, accepting contest entries on their Facebook page from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, 2017. 59 photographs were submitted. The students in Siren High School’s Publication Class worked to select 28 finalists, which were then sent out to all Siren Chamber members for a final vote. Twelve winners were selected, with each winner receiving $25 in Siren

Chamber Bucks to be used the same as cash at any Siren Chamber business. The twelve winning photographs will also be featured on Siren’s social media pages throughout 2018. Photographs were submitted from many areas, with winners hailing from both Wisconsin and Minnesota. The #sirenphotostory photo contest was created to collect photographs that will be used to create a photo essay. Photo essays are a collection of images

Canoe on Big Wood Lake by Michelle Campeau - Grantsburg

that are displayed to tell a story. Many marketing experts suggest that visuals are processed faster than text, which explains why people tend to prefer to look at pictures and watch videos versus reading lengthy text articles. The Chamber hopes the photo essay will generate interest in the Siren area and increase traffic on Siren’s social media pages during what can be a slower time for tourism in the area. “The Siren Chamber of Commerce

appreciates all who participated in the contest! We continue to build our photo library and are excited to incorporate many of these photos into our future marketing plans.” said Julie Hall, Siren Social Media Director. You can stay informed about all the events happening in and around Siren by “Liking” the Facebook page “Siren, Wisconsin” and following “siren_wi” on Instagram and “Siren, Wisconsin” on Pinterest.

Grapplers top Flambeau; go to Conference Tournament BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—“Tonight was more than about having a varsity dual meet,” commented Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling coach Chris Bartlett. With both varsity teams low on numbers and not matching up for matches very well, we decided to have both schools bring some of their middle school kids over and have them wrestle. We were able to more than double the amount of matches that were wrestled and it gave the fans a chance to watch kids that are coming up in each program. It was a lot of fun.” Nolan Johnson, Hunter Sellent and Landyn Johnson all got pinfall wins for LFGS and the team scored 18 additional points on forfeits. Flambeau got all their points on five forfeits.

Croix Falls. Clear Lake, Shell Lake and Cameron were second, third and fourth respectively. Cornell-Gilman-Lake Holcombe, and Unity were fifth and sixth. “It was an all right day,” said Coach Bartlett. “There were opportunities missed. Hopefully next week we take advantage of every opportunity we get.” At 106, Nolan Johnson went 1-2 and took fifth. “He was caught in the first match and put on his back. He had to wrestle a little different strategy to try and get back, but it didn’t work out. In the second match, he was up in the third with 20 seconds to go and his size went against him.” Hunter Sellent at 132 went 2-1 and took third. “He was coming around for a reversal to tie up the match and was caught in a spraddle and was held there until time ran out. He was disappointed, but sometimes it happens.” Landyn Johnson, 138, went 3-2 and was fourth. “He wrestled well all day. All his matches were close except for one. He always seems to be in close matches. Hopefully it pays off.” SEE WRESTLERS, PG. 20

Gymnasts edged out by North Branch NORTH BRANCH—The Grantsburg-Luck-Unity-Webster gymnastics team lost a close matchup to North Branch last Tuesday night, 132.750130.925. “The meet went pretty good,” reported head coach Kathy Lund. “At this time of the season, we are looking for season highs and personal bests as we gear up for Sectionals. We had a total of nine season highs and three personal bests.” “Gracie Gerber was our top all-around gymnast, placing first in the all-around with a 34.050, and was our only gymnast to stick her beam routine, scoring a personal best of 8.70 placing first in that event.”

“Kate Weiss had three season highs: vault 8.675, floor 8.875 and in the All Around 32.60.” “Allison Peterson had a great night, earning three season highs: vault 8.125, bars 7.45 and on floor 7.925.” “Amy Harmon had two season highs scoring an 8.15 on vault and 7.65 on floor. Karissa Strohschein topped off with two personal bests on floor and in the All Around scoring a 31.525.” “The next meet is the Ashland Invite on Feb. 10 at 10 a.m. We wrap up our regular season with a home meet with Menomonie on Feb. 12 at 6:20 p.m.”

Pirates pluck Cardinals BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—The Lady Pirates recorded a conference win on Friday night as they traveled to Luck to take on the Cardinals. The Pirates took control early and sailed to a 53-34 victory to take hold of third place in the West Lakeland standings. Grantsburg jumped out to a 13-0 lead and kept the Cardinals scoreless for most of the first half with Luck not getting on the board until just over 8:00 left in the half. After letting Luck get within five points, the Pirates cranked up the scoring once again and headed to the locker room with a comfortable 22-9 lead. They dominated the boards, especially offensively, giving them several chances to score while holding the Cards to one and done on the defensive end. Grantsburg kept the momentum going, outscoring the Cards 31-23 in the second half to secure the win.

The Pirates had three players in double digits with Olivia Brock leading the charge with 18, including a six for eight night from the charity stripe. Brooke Quimby was next on the list with 16 points with Olivia Ohnstad close behind with 13 points on the night. Linda Harmon chipped in four points with Janessa Bonneville adding two. “Olivia Ohnstad had a terrific first half and her offense kept us in the game. We started strongly with a bit of a press but then we hit a long cold spell where we just could not score,” Pirates coach Penny Curtin said. “Olivia Brock came on strong in the second half and helped to assure our victory. It was a physical game and we did get into some foul trouble – over all a great win for us.” The Pirates will head to Clayton on Thursday for a doubleheader before playing host to Northwestern on Saturday for a matinee game. The game will begin at 2:30 p.m.

Tigers win two more BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers girls basketball team put another two “W”s on their list as they defeated visiting Birchwood 50-42 on Tuesday night and went to Turtle Lake on Friday and won by a 47-28 margin. “We were behind most of the game, but instead of fading away and giving up, we kept clawing and fighting until the final whistle, finally taking the lead with about six minutes to go and didn’t look back,” commented Coach Matt Wood after the Birchwood game. Summer Winkler played the best game of her high school career, attacking the basket and getting big rebounds. Hannah McDowell continues to hit big shots late, sinking a few threes in the closing minutes.” “Morgan Mulroy gave us a spark off the bench, putting up five and hitting a clutch free throw, coming in for an injured player.” “We had a few girls foul out and one go out injured late in the game and our bench really finished off the ball game. I was extremely satisfied on how our subs like Ali Moritz, Morgan Mulroy and Brooke Hetfeld were able to lock down defensively, and hand pressure in late game situations.” Hannah McDowell led the Tigers with 17 points with Summer Winkler right behind at 16. Julia Gavin chipped in with eight. LAKERS SUNK BY TIGERS “The kids played extremely well,” praised Tiger coach Matt Wood after winning 47-28 at Turtle Lake. “It took us a bit to get the scoring started, but after being down 2-0 we went on a 24-2 run to begin the game. Defensively, we locked down much of what Turtle Lake wanted to do with the basketball. Summer

(Winkler) really plays the top of our zone well, getting Turtle Lake to turn the ball over to Mahi (Mosher) and Hannah (McDowell) over and over.” “Offensively Mahi was on fire in the first half hitting three straight three-pointers. Hannah had a few steals that she turned into lay ups, and Brooke Hetfeld had a great performance coming off of the bench and putting in a quick seven points.” Continued Coach Wood, “The kids made a goal to win three straight with Luck, Birchwood, and Turtle Lake and were really excited with how they performed and achieved that. We still have a lot to work on to be where we want to be, but hopefully we can build off of this success.” In this game, Hannah McDowell tallied 18 with Mahi Mosher getting 11. Summer Winkler put in eight with Brooke Hetfeld getting seven. After hosting St. Croix Falls on Tuesday, the Tigers travel to Unity on Friday and host Northwood next Tuesday.

No luck for Cards against Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—The Grantsburg Pirates traveled to Luck on Friday to take on an always-tough Cardinal squad and walked away with a 66-51 win to improve to 15-2 on the season and 8-1 in conference play, holding steady in first place in the West Lakeland. “It’s a great feeling any time you can go on the road, late in the year, and get a win in the conference,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. The last time these two teams met in December, the Pirates hung on to win 62-57 despite a slow start offensively. In this game, Grantsburg took the lead early but Luck stayed with them for much of the half. In fact, the score was stuck at 13-10 for quite a while before the offense was cranked up again. The Pirates went on a run late in the half to head to the locker room with a comfortable 30-19 lead. The scoring run continued for the Pirates at the start of the second half as they hit four three-point shots early in the half to extend their lead. They kept plugging away and held at 22 point lead,

Pirates shut down Hurricanes BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates played host to the Hayward Hurricanes on Tuesday, Jan. 30 and came away with a 48-37 non-conference win. The Pirates’ quick, smothering defense held the Hurricanes in check, while the Pirates’ offense was able to cut through the lane for close range shots to take an early lead. Hayward chipped away at the lead and brought the game within four at the break, 22-18. The Pirates outscored the ‘Canes 26-19 in the second half to seal the win.

“Our defense was solid,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “Took us a while to get going offensively, but made that solid run in the middle of the second half to go up twenty, which was really good to see.” Leo Chenal led the Pirate charge with 22 points. John Chenal was next on the list with 16 points. Austin Wedin added four points with Tyrell Brande, Joseph Ohnstad and Jared VanWatermeulen with two points each. “Our guys did a nice job finding the gaps in that zone,” Hallberg added. “Leo really stepped up and carried us there for a bit. A good win, but know we can play much better.”

54-32, at the 8:34 mark in the half. But the Cardinals would not go away, and got within 10 points, 61-51, with just over a minute left in the game. But the Pirate defense stood strong and held them scoreless for the remainder of the game. “We did a lot of things well tonight,” Hallberg noted. “We finished the first half on a nice little run and then followed that up in the first part of the second half to build up a lead. Luck battled back by hitting shots and getting it down to about 10 points with just a couple minutes left, but our guys remained composed and finished the game the right way.” Joseph Ohnstad had a huge night as he led the Pirates in scoring with 18 points, including five three-point shots. John Chenal battled hard down low, racking up 16 points for the night. Tyrell Brande hit double digits as well, pouring in 12 points. Leo Chenal had nine, followed by Austin Wedin with eight. Luke Anderson added two points and Jared VanWatermeulen had one to round out the list. The Pirates will head to Clayton on Thursday for a non-conference match up. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

Blizzard drop two, prepare for playoffs BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—“Baldwin is a solid team and we were not ready for the rematch,” said Coach Rick Quimby of the Blizzard. “Although we played better against them the second time, we still have a lot of work to do before playoffs.” The Blizzard lost to the Black Hawks by a 10-3 margin. Baldwin scored five goals in the first period to take a commanding lead. They put 19 shots on Blizzard goalie Thorne Carter while the Blizzard could only get nine on Baldwin goalie Zach Stevens.

In period two, the Blizzard got the first two goals of that frame. Taylor Zenzen scored with an assist to Jase Quimby at the 1:05 mark and Dawson Van Meter got his goal a little over a minute later with an assist going to Zenzen. The Blackhawks came back with four goals to end the period at 9-2. Each team got a goal in the last period of play. Baldwin got theirs at 4:05 and then Dawson got his second goal of the contest at 15:53. Blizzard goalie Thorne Carter stopped 20 of 30 shots while his counterpart, Zach Stevens was 18 of 21. Baldwin was one for three in power play opportunities with the Blizzard

going none for three. ASHLAND SHUTS OUT BLIZZARD “The long bus ride doesn’t help things, but again the boys were just not ready to play,” commented Coach Quimby after the 9-0 loss at Ashland. “Ashland came out strong and we did not match their play.” The Oredockers scored four in the first period, three in the second and two goals in the final period. Ashland was two for eight in power play opportunities. In shots on goal, the Blizzard and ‘Dockers were close in the first period with the Blizzard getting 10 and the

Oredockers 13. Period two was big for Ashland with 11 shots on goal to the Blizzard’s five. Period three was even at five apiece. Goalie Thorne Carter was 20 of 29 in the save department. Said Coach Quimby, “We see River Falls #7 seed in first round of playoffs next week, so hopefully we can stay healthy and finish strong against the Iceman (Northwest Wisconsin) to lead us into a playoff game.” After facing off against the Icemen on Tuesday Feb. 6, the next game for the Blizzard is next Tuesday vs River Falls in the first game of the playoffs.

Fan or Follower

Pastor George Selbher Grace Baptist

In 1984 I was 12 years old, and Michael Jordan was just beginning a NBA career that would prove to be one of the greatest and most memorable in all of professional sports. I had Air Jordan Nike Shoes, I had posters on my bedroom wall of Jordan soaring through the air for his signature monster dunks, and when I drove to the hoop for a layup I would stick my tongue out just like Michael did as he sliced through the lane for dazzling shot after dazzling shot. Not only was I a fan of Michael Jordan; I was a follower. As the years went by, I continued to marvel at Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments, but my allegiance to him as a follower slowly began to wane. By the time Jordan retired in 1995, I was 23 years

old and had lost track of the one I had once been so enamored with. Perhaps I was still a fan of Michael Jordan; for certain I was no longer a follower. As Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career came to an end, it was a time when I began to ponder the more meaningful things of life. While in college, Tom Goodwin from Campus Crusade for Christ (now called Cru) shared with me that God does truly love me, but that as a sinner I had fallen short of meeting His standard for salvation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my sin had separated me from God, rendering me spiritually dead and unable to save myself (Romans 3:23; 5:12). Thankfully, Tom had Good News for me. Jesus, though I was His enemy, willingly shed

His blood for me and died in my place so that I could be saved from sin and become spiritually alive in Him (Romans 5:8). Genuinely believing by faith in Jesus was all I had to do for God to save me, and believe in Jesus I did! Now came a new, hard reality: was I going to be just a fan of Jesus or a true Follower? Jesus is not interested in Michael-Jordan-like fanfare. He gave His life for you and me and desires our full, lifelong allegiance to Him. And as you surrender your heart, soul, mind, and strength to Him you will find great freedom and fruitfulness in experiencing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing love for you. It is time for you to answer the call: are you a true Follower of Jesus or just a fan?
