Grantsburg man escapes house fire JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
The Grantsburg Fire Department was called to a house fire at 14126 Benson Road east of the village early March 1. Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette said the home was completely destroyed. Crews arrived on the scene at 1:25 a.m. and cleared it at 4:45 a.m. The owner of the home, Gary House, smelled smoke in the evening of Feb. 28 and was able to get his dogs out of the house before it was completely engulfed in flames. He was taken to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. House lost everything in the fire. There is a donation jar at the Country Store in Grantsburg and they are accepting donations and asking for the following items – pants size 36/32, shirts and jackets size 44, size 10 socks, medium size underwear, large T-shirts, and shoes sizes 10 or 10.5. Barnette added the cause of the fire is still under investigation. “There was nothing suspicious about this fire. I suspect it has something to do with a heating element,” Barnette said. “That type of house burns up really quick,” he said of the single wide home. “I went back later that day to check on the roof after reports came in of smoldering.” He clarified his return to the scene by stating the structure was unsafe to enter which led him to return. “Everything was fine when I went back, it was just a routine check,” he said. The Siren Fire Department assisted on the call. “The crews did a great job containing it in the cold,” he concluded A benefit for House is planned for March 23 at the American Legion in Grantsburg.
Big Wood Lake development tabled JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
GOVERNMENT CENTER—The Land Use and Information committee said, Tuesday, they do not have enough information to decide on whether to approve or deny a conditional use permit for a proposed camp/resort on Big Wood Lake at 22460 Assembly Drive. Committee Chair Norman Bickford
said they will have another public hearing April 2 and by then they expect to have an environmental assessment done. There were at least 100 constituents SEE BIG WOOD LAKE CAMP, PAGE 2 JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL
Patrick Hansen organized a petition that received over 700 signatures opposing the proposed camp on Big Wood Lake.

Evers announces tribal initiatives in budget MADISON – Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes met with Wisconsin tribal leaders at the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College in Hayward to share details of several tribal initiatives in advance of Governor Tony Evers’ budget address in February. “For far too long, the needs of our Na-
tive American communities have been neglected,” said Lt. Gov. Barnes. “But under the leadership of Gov. Evers, those days are over. We’re committed to listening to, working with, and investing in Wisconsin’s tribal communities.” Key highlights of the governor’s budget proposal include:
• Funding the next phase of the creation of an $8 million, 36-bed youth wellness center to treat opioid addiction for both tribal and nontribal populations; • Increasing funding in higher education grants for tribal college students, SEE EVERS, PAGE 2

BIG WOOD LAKE CAMP: Committee tables topic until assessment is completed CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
at the meeting and a large majority of them were opposed to the proposed camp. The public hearing portion of the meeting lasted almost two hours and over 30 people voiced their opinion. There were only two people, besides the applicant, who were in favor of the proposed campground. The owners of the property, Patrick and Judi Kinsella did not attend the meeting. A fact those opposed to the camp took note of and many discussed during the public comments. The proposed campground is the site of the former Wood Lake Bible Camp. The camp was sold last year to the Kinsellas, and they initially proposed an RV camp with up to 90 sites. That permit was pulled, and Jeff Sventek applied for a second one. “I’m the go-between for the owners, the Kinsellas, and the county,” Sventek told the Sentinel last month. The new proposal states 20-27 park model cabins will be placed throughout the property. These cabins are approximately 35 feet by 12 feet. They have a living space of about 360 square feet with 9,720 square feet total for 27 units. Land Services Director Jason Towne gave an overview of the project before the public comment section. Towne’s office received 250 pages of public input, including a petition with 771 signatures. During the public hearing concerned citizens, seasonal and year-round Burnett County residents, had many
reasons why they opposed the proposed campsite. They ranged from safety concerns, septic systems, invasive species, runoff damage, and overall water quality of the lake. The people opposed to the camp lined up and gave their reasons. Patrick Hansen, who lives in Iowa and also owns property on the lake organized an online petition. When he gave his public comments, he asked that everyone at the meeting to stand if they were opposed to the camp and almost everyone stood up. Hansen concluded his comments by asking that the application be pulled from consideration. There were also concerns that adding 20-27 sites could double the number of people living on the lake from about 160 to well over 300. That fact had many people concerned about water quality of the lake. Other concerns voiced were declining fishery in the lake, additional RV traffic on Assembly Drive, light pollution and shoreline erosion. Some people were wondering why a nonprofit bible camp is being replaced by a commercial for-profit campground. Pastor Dave Prince of Trade Lake Baptist said the Kinsellas were “fine Christian people.” Robin Sventek added that they were building the camp to “bring God’s kingdom to this earth.” Those comments were met with speculation and questions about why the camp was being turned into a commercial for-profit campground when it could remain a nonprofit camp. Big Wood Lake is located in the town
of Wood River. The town board sent a letter of neutrality to the committee. Joel Johnson said they were neutral because the town does not have jurisdiction over land 1,000 feet from the lake. Burnett County Code of Ordinances states parcels located within 1,000 feet of any lake are subject to the regulation
Supervisor Chuck Anderson asked if there was any other commercial property on Big Wood Lake. Towne said there is one listing on the vacation rental website VRBO. Bickford said the environmental assessment will look into sanitary systems, potential runoff damage, invasive

of the Shoreland Protection Ordinance. County Supervisor Brent Blomberg said he was against the camp because of the public concerns about the increase in people on the lake and the decrease in water quality. Supervisor Duane Johnson said his district, which includes the towns of Dewey and Roosevelt, has Scenic View Campground on Poquettes Lake and wondered if these are comparable campgrounds. Supervisor Jim Paden also said the committee would like more information and an economic assessment before making any decisions.
species, use of public landings and light pollution. There was one person who brought up light pollution at the hearing and they stated, “we want to be able to see the milky way at night.” Bickford said even though only one person brought up light pollution, it is something the committee is often asked about when approving new developments. Bickford said the April 2 meeting will include another public hearing.

as well as for the language revitalization grants program which go to schools on or near tribal lands to teach tribal heritage languages; • Using tribal gaming revenue to increase funding for tribal family service grants and tribal elderly transportation grants that assist in providing transportation services for elderly persons. “The investments Gov. Evers is making in Wisconsin’s tribal communities are well overdue, and we applaud the steps he’s taking to support Native American children and families,” said Michael Decorah, the Senior Intergovernmental Affairs Director for the St. Croix Chippewa Indians. “Wisconsin’s tribal nations contribute immensely to the state of Wisconsin. We provide
job opportunity, stimulate local economies, and are rich in culture. However, Native Americans throughout the state face some of the biggest gaps in opportunity, and these investments will help Native communities thrive. The St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin look forward to working with Gov. Evers in the coming years, and also look forward to seeing leaders in the legislature follow the governor’s lead and work in a bipartisan manner to finally prioritize all families and kids in Wisconsin.” “My budget puts kids first—and that includes Native American kids,” said Gov. Evers. “I’m excited that our budget will make investments that will help Native American children, families, and communities thrive.”

Public comments There are a lot of facets to this job and one of those is government meetings. Some are at the County level and others are village and school board meetings. Most of these meetings take place at the Government Center in Meenon. I’m the big guy frantically taking notes, near the back, with my recorder nearby to make sure the articles are as accurate as possible because my memory is not perfect. All these meetings have a space reserved for public comments. In my time in Burnett County, I would venture that at eight meetings out of 10 there are no public comments. At some of the meetings the chair of the committee, or village president, or school superintendent will ask if there are public comments and then say something like, “No, it looks like all we’ve got today is the press.” A few weeks ago, the topic of Sentinel opening the Gandy Dancer Trail up to motorized use, which everyEditor one seems to have a strong opinJonathan Richie ion on, was brought up, and that gathered more public interest than any other meeting I have attended. People in favor of keeping the trail nonmotorized in the summer months have been going to meetings and their numbers are growing. The other side is hoping to get the County to open up the Gandy for motorized use year-round and has also become more vocal during public comment sections. When the year-round motorized use folks made a presentation at the Board of Supervisors meeting in February the room was full and they had to put overflow seating outside. One supervisor said in all their time on the board they had never seen that many people at a single meeting. Tuesday morning the Land Use and Information Committee met and held a public hearing for a proposed camp on Big Wood Lake in Grantsburg. People opposed to development were able to gather over 700 signatures for an online petition and sent it to the County in opposition to the proposed camp. The issue, from a distance, seems simple enough. A developer wants to put a camp on the former Bible campsite by the Lake. Local residents believe the lake cannot handle that many people moving in and it could ruin the current atmosphere. Check out the Sentinel’s front-page story for all the details. Public comments are a key part of democracy. “All politics is local” is a famous phrase most notably affiliated with Tip O’Neil. It does not matter if someone is serving on the school board or as a County Supervisor, it is your right as a citizen to tell them what you think on any or all subjects. Finally, I am always looking for story ideas. If you have any ideas for stories we should look into let me know. Feel free to give me a call at the office, 715-4632341 or send me an email at editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.
All fun and games until the ashes Happy Lent to you! While we were finding new places to put still more snow last week, revelers in New Orleans and Brazil were enjoying carnivale, a final fling to get sin out of their systems before the introspection and self denial of Lent. I have never been to either celebration, but if there ever were a year to get away to someplace warm for a party without long term consequences, this would have been the year to travel. Caution: I am about to enter into “old man” speak here for a great deal of the column. From the It seems to me that an argument Publisher’s could be made for this ancient pagan Desk practice of carnivale. The Lenten calendar calls for 40 days of prayer, inTom Stangl trospection, and self denial, the same i amount off time Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness before starting his ministry. If people are going to be tasked with self denial, it is only fitting that one last spree is held before the party is over. Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent and the service is one of the most sobering hours you will ever spend in a church. The symbolism of having ashes rubbed on your forehead and being told “remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” resonates with us all. Our time here is finite and it is often a good thing to be reminded of the end so we will focus on what is important. Even though nearly everyone enjoys a good party, a case could be made that too much of a good thing is a bad thing, even if you are taking a 40 day break afterward. Time and again in history, civilization has shown that maintaining the delicate balance between living
well and partying into oblivion is, at best, a tricky proposition. We usually go from one extreme to another, as the pendulum swing of virtue and vice seldom finds time to pause somewhere in the middle. Reform seeks to balance sin, freedom wants to break the oppression of morality. The early church often sought to be a force for moderation by taking formerly pagan traditions and adapting them to the new faith. The idea behind carnivale is a pagan rite of renewal as spring returns. What better way to harness this energy and channel it into faith than to allow it to happen before ending the party for 40 days? In our nation, the last 50 years since many traditional values were challenged (and some discarded) have seen excesses exact a toll on families, communities, and our society. The abuse of drugs and promiscuity without consequence have scarred our psyches, and yes, our souls. Some enjoy not having to take responsibility and see any talk of aspiring to a higher purpose as a criticism of hedonism. But it is not too late to make a change. As the pendulum swings one way, it is a law of physics that it will swing back. During the next month of preparation, I would encourage you to embrace self denial. In my opinion, “no” is a word that isn’t heard too often. I think we would all be better off if we didn’t get everything we wanted. But it could be the ashes talking… 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.

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.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
THE CAPITOL REPORT
Marsy’s Law
Vos says Evers can’t ‘bludgeon the legislature’ to accept budget
Dear editor, As Chief of Police for the Village of Siren, I am charged with the responsibility of keeping our community safe. Throughout my twenty-eight year law enforcement career, I have witnessed our state’s need to strengthen the rights of Wisconsin crime victims, who often find themselves lost, forgotten, or trampled on by the court system. I know to keep Siren and all of Wisconsin’s communities safe, we must strengthen the rights of these victims so they know when they come forward to report a crime, someone will be in their corner. That’s why I’m proud to be a supporter of Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, bipartisan legislation to amend our state Constitution and give victims of crime equal rights in our legal system. Made up of common sense provisions to ensure crime victims are empowered throughout the legal process, this bipartisan legislation would strengthen the rights of victims, ensure criminals are held accountable, and help to make all of our communities safe. The over 500 bipartisan co-sponsors of Marsy’s Law have made great strides in the effort to strengthen the rights of crime victims. Last session, Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin was approved by a strong bipartisan vote of 110-14. This bipartisan effort has gained even more momentum in 2019. In January, Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin was introduced for second consideration and approved by Senate and Assembly committees after receiving a joint public hearing where a powerful array of voices from survivors and advocates to law enforcement and legal experts testified in favor of this bipartisan legislation. I encourage you to join me in supporting this bipartisan proposal to help keep our communities and our state safe. I’m asking our local legislators to finish the job by passing Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin once more in the Senate and Assembly so the people of Wisconsin can have their own say on this Constitutional Amendment. Visit https://www.equalrightsforwi.com/message to learn more about this bipartisan effort and to send a message of support for Assembly Joint Resolution 1/ Senate Joint Resolution 2. Sincerely, Christopher Sybers Chief of Police
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is warning the Evers administration against believing they can “bludgeon the Legislature” to accept some of their budget priorities. But the Rochester Republican says he is hopeful Gov. Tony Evers will “adapt” after realizing GOP lawmakers are not going to accept “a dramatic expansion of welfare, a massive tax increase (and) more spending than we can afford” in his funding plan. Vos pointedly compared the new administration with the two houses of the GOP-controlled Legislature at a WisPolitics.com luncheon Feb. 21 in Madison as he offered advice to the new occupants of the East Wing. He said while Senate and Assembly Republicans “had some disagreements” over the last eight years, members and their interests “are much more closely aligned” as circumstances in the state have changed, leading to the houses’ first ever joint caucus meeting last month. “I would say on the liberal side of the ledger, they have to also sit down and say to themselves, ‘What will work, and what will not?’” he said. Though he noted both parties have “certain bedrock principles” neither would budge on, Vos said legislative Republicans and Evers have a choice about how they are going to function this session: by honing in on “the things that we know are never going to change anybody’s mind” or finding issues with the potential for middle ground. “I promise that as much as we are able, we are going to try to find the give-and-take topics to talk about as much as we talk about the ones that maybe show our principles,” Vos said. “Neither one is
WILD CHOW
Time to detox with green smoothies Meals this cold and snowy winter consisted of large portions of soul warming foods such as macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and roasted meats. Night after night, for the last four months, I have enjoyed all my favorite foods. There is nothing wrong with eating winter foods in winter—it’s what your body needs. But, it’s time to lighten up. Spring is coming and I’m ready for green foods. Spring is a good time to detox or reset the way you eat. Spring Wild Chow is the season when we transition Lisa Erickson from warming, cold weather vegetables like squash and potatoes to green foods like kale and lettuces. If you’re like me, you have a hard time getting enough of what your body needs—a daily dose of greens. About a year ago, I started drinking a green smoothie each morning. I feel so much better. I don’t have to worry about eating a salad for lunch or dinner. After you drink it, I swear you can feel your body healing. This is the prettiest green drink. I put my favorite healthy greens into this super nutritious smoothie. Please adjust it to your own tastes. I’m not much of a sugar or sweet smoothie fan, so my smoothies are more lemony, earthy, and tangy. Feel free to add more banana or some honey to sweeten it up if needed. Here are a few nutritional facts about the ingredients I use. Parsley: my personal favorite smoothie ingredient. It’s a wonderfully nutritious and healing food. Parsley is the most universally known vegetable and has over 80 different nutrients. It has over 575 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin K in half a cup. Don’t skip
this superfood. Kale: full of vitamin K, plus antioxidants, fiber, calcium, vitamin A, iron, magnesium —all essential for digestion, immunity, and bone health. Green apples: high in fiber. Don’t peel because eating the peel improves the detoxification process. Plus, it helps the liver and digestive system eliminate harmful toxins. Lemon: loaded with vitamin C and excellent at detoxification, has anti-bacterial properties, is a blood purifier, pH balancer, and liver cleanser. Bananas: have fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamins C, B6, and A, all of which promote healthy digestion. Spinach: full of potassium, vitamin C, which hydrates skin, helps debloat, and has electrolytes Ginger: adds flavor and helps with digestion. Avocado: has a lot of healthy omega-3 fats and acts as an emulsifier. Without adding this to your smoothie, it will separate with fiber on the top and liquid on the bottom. Green Detox Smoothies Serves 1 1 cup baby spinach, packed 1 cup baby kale, packed 1/2 cup parsley 1 lemon, juiced 1 medium green apple, chopped 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger 1 cup cold water 1 heaping cup ice cubes 1 banana 1/3 cup ripe avocado Place all ingredients in a blender, except the avocado and banana. Blend on high until very smooth—about 3-5 minutes. Add the avocado and banana and blend on high for an additional minute. Pour into a large glass and serve immediately.
bad, but you just can’t do all of one or the other.” Vos, who described legislative Republicans’ relationship with the Evers administration as “nonexistent, underwhelming, disappointing,” said the new governor is moving at a “slower pace” during his first few weeks in office than former Govs. Jim Doyle or Scott Walker did. Calling Evers “a good, kind, sincere person,” Vos said Evers “has a lot of on-the-job learning” to do during the first part of his time in the East Wing. And, Vos added, many of Evers’ appointees do not have state government experience, so they are also seeing “a lot of on-the-job training.” Vos said his goal is to work toward “the maximum amount of communication” possible — both between the two houses and between the Legislature and Evers. He said while he has asked for a weekly meeting with Evers, “it hasn’t happened yet.” But he said he is not holding that fact against the governor, noting the new administration is “getting used to where they are, and the process that we have to go through.” “My door is as open as it possibly can be to try to increase communication with Gov. Evers,” Vos said.

Gov. Evers’ initial budget proposal highlights SCOTT BAUER AND TODD RICHMOND ASSOCIATED PRESS
Highlights of the two-year Wisconsin budget proposal released last Thursday by Gov. Tony Evers: ROADS: Evers has signaled he will increase the state’s 32.9cent gas tax to pay for roads in a comprehensive plan to find a long-term funding solution. Republicans have shown openness to toll roads, but some conservative senators stand ready to block any type of tax or fee increase. MARIJUANA: Evers wants to legalize medical marijuana and decriminalize up to 25 grams of recreational pot. The plan appears to be a non-starter among Republicans. K-12 SCHOOLS: Evers, the former state schools chief, campaigned on the promise to increase funding for K-12 schools by 10 percent, or $1.4 billion. Republicans say they support increasing school funding but not as much as Evers wants. VOUCHER SCHOOLS: Evers wants to freeze enrollment in voucher schools starting in 2021, a move Republicans oppose. Evers says an enrollment freeze would save money on property taxes, but supporters of the program say it will deny people the chance to escape failing public schools. HIGHER EDUCATION: Evers plans to continue a tuition freeze at the University of Wisconsin for at least two years, boost funding by $150 million, and allow for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to pay in-state tuition. Republicans oppose the in-state tuition plan, a version of which they stripped from state law in 2011. DRIVER’S LICENSES: The budget would make people living in the country illegally eligible for driver’s licenses and identification cards. TAXES: Evers will propose a 10 percent income tax cut targeting middle-income earners. He vetoed a similar SEE EVERS, PAGE 8

Districts weigh options for making up snow days JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
BURNETT COUNTY–– School districts in Burnett County are expanding hours, rescheduling teacher in-service days, and even coming in on days that were scheduled for vacation. As snow continues to fall area superintendents told the Sentinel what their plans are for a winter that is not yet over. Grantsburg Superintendent Joni Burgin said all four schools in the district will be released at 3:55 p.m. starting Monday, March 4. The extra time will allow them to, hopefully, not have to make up entire days later during the school year. The Siren school board approved a modified schedule last month that will extend their school days to 8:05 a.m. – 3:40 p.m. beginning March 4. They also approved changing teacher in-service days March 8 and May 10 to full school days. March 11 was scheduled as a vacation day and now that will also be a full school day. Webster Superintendent Jim Erickson said Webster Schools will have full
school days April 18 and May 24, which were originally scheduled as teacher in-service days. “That gets us back to even, and everything else from here on out we will add to the end of the year,” he said. Erickson added he cannot remember a year they have had this many school closures due to weather in a single school year. Burgin said this year will probably be a record for the number of days schools needed to make up. “Given that we still have more typically snowy months ahead, this probably will be the record,” she said of the closures this year due to snow and cold weather. Burgin said if there are more closures this year they will change the July 7 teacher work day to a full school day for students. “Fingers crossed we don’t have to make any other changes,” Siren principal Darrell Imhoff said at last week’s Siren school board meeting. “But we know there’s more winter ahead.”

Armed robbery thwarted by citizen JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
LUCK––Three juvenile males attempted to rob a Luck convenience store with a knife last weekend, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. On the afternoon of March 3 the three males, aged 12, 13, and 16, arrived at the Minit Mart at 106 N. State Highway 35 in Luck on snowmobiles. They allegedly attempted to rob the store at
knifepoint. A citizen intervened and disrupted the armed robbery. All three were taken into custody and the younger two were released to guardians while the 16-year-old was taken to Northwest Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Eau Claire. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Luck Police Department are still investigating the incident.

Danish Folk Music Concert
Sonnich Lydom and Kristian Bugge will perform a concert of traditional of Danish folk music at the West Denmark Parish Hall in Luck, Saturday, March 9. This lively duo performs old dance tunes and songs from every corner of their Scandinavian home country, from rural islands like Læsø to the metropolis Copenhagen, including a few of their own compositions. The concert will include everything from polkas and jigs to waltzes, reels, and hopsas, plus the exotic “Sønderhoning” dance tunes from the Island of Fanø, and long forgotten songs from all over the country. It will be an unforgettable live experience spiced up with humor and stories from their many years on the road. Sonnich is a master of Irish, French-Canadian, and especially Danish traditional tunes. During the last 25 years he has been leading the revival for diatonic accordion and harmonica in Danish folk music. Sonnich holds a special place in his heart for music from the Western Island of Fanø, where his family is deeply rooted. He is best known for his work with the ULC trio and later quintet (adding jazz pianist Peter Rosendal and bassist Mads Vinding). ULC received the Danish Music Award (Danish “Grammy”) in the category “Folk Album of the year” in 2001 and 2004. Kristian has specialized in Danish folk music traditions. He is very active on the Danish and Scandinavian folk music scenes as well as in the rest of Europe and North America, both as a musician and a teacher. His debut CD was awarded “Danish debut of the year” and “Danish Folk Instrumentalist of the year” at the Danish Music Awards Folk 2006. At the same occasion in both 2012 and 2016, Kristian received the prize as ”Danish Folk Artist of the Year.” Both Kristian and Sonnich were among the first twelve musicians to receive the honorary title ”Danmarks Rigsspillemænd” (National Danish Folk Musicians) in 2014. At the concert they will talk about traditions from Denmark, how they learned the music, and how the music lives on today and is part of the famous Danish hygge.

State Patrol reminds drivers to move over/slow down for emergency responders It has been a challenging winter for motorists across the state and with more winter weather likely, the Wisconsin State Patrol is asking drivers to slow down when travel conditions deteriorate, stay alert, and be prepared to move over for stopped emergency responders. “When roads get slippery, drivers need to slow down, scan the road ahead
carefully, and be ready to shift over a lane if possible when approaching stopped emergency vehicles,” Wisconsin State Patrol Captain Nick Wanink of the Northwest Region said. The state’s Move Over law (346.072) requires drivers to move out of the lane closest to stopped law enforcement vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, tow trucks, and utility or highway mainte-

nance vehicles that have their warning lights activated. If unable to move over, vehicle operators must slow down. Violations can result in a citation of $263. “Tow truck operators, law enforcement, and other emergency responders face significant risks when they are stopped along roadways to assist motorists,” Captain Wanink said. “We all
want to get home safely, so we’re asking drivers to be alert, move over as the law requires, and provide a safety zone for roadside workers.” In the last two years there were a total of 1,419 traffic convictions in Wisconsin for violating the Move Over law.

EVERS: intial budget DATCP reminds farmers to keep safety first, report losses following winter storms CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
MADISON – Winter storms have brought large amounts of snow, extreme cold, and high winds over the past week, resulting in reports of barn collapses, shed damage, and livestock losses. Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, (DATCP), Secretary Brad Pfaff encourages farmers to keep safety a top priority and report losses as soon as possible. “This winter has dealt Wisconsin farmers a difficult hand,” said Pfaff. “Personal safety is always our top priority. Farmers, families, employees, friends, and all who are trying to assist should take necessary precautions when trying to remove snow or work with compromised structures.” Farmers are reminded to report property damage promptly to their insurers. Photographs are helpful to document claims. Farmers should also record livestock losses. “As this situation unfolds, I continue to communicate with the USDA Farm Service Agency,” added Pfaff. “Farmers should report all damage and losses to their local county FSA office. There may be assistance available for farmers, and these reports are critical to making the determination whether to seek a disaster designation from the USDA Secretary.” FSA has safety net programs, including the Livestock Indemnity Program and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program, which may be helpful for farmers who lost livestock due to an adverse weather-related event.
A disaster designation in their county would make farmers eligible for low-interest loans if they cannot access private financing. Contacts for county FSA offices are available online. “In times like this, I am encouraged by the stories I see on social media and hear from out in the barnyards about neighbors helping neighbors with clean-up and even housing animals,” concluded Pfaff. “These are the times that make me even more proud to be part of Wisconsin agriculture and showcase what makes our rural communities special.” Property owners should also be on the lookout for “storm chasers” – fly-by-night contractors who travel to storm-damaged neighborhoods in search of quick cash. These traveling work crews may perform substandard work or no repair work at all, and they typically depart soon after being paid. This leaves the consumer with little recourse when problems arise. Be wary of any contractor who knocks at your door. Hire a local contractor based on referrals (ask friends, family, or coworkers) and get a written contract with a start and completion date and warranty information. Ask for lien waivers when you make a payment. And before you sign a contract, contact DATCP’s Bureau of Consumer Protection (800–422– 7128) to see if we have received complaints about the business. These winter storms add an additional hardship on Wisconsin farmers and their families. The Wisconsin Farm Center is available to assist farmers with mediation, financial analysis, and emotional stress. Contact the Wisconsin Farm Center at 800–942–2474.

Republican bill last week. Evers and Republicans disagree over how to pay for the tax cut. HEALTH CARE: Evers has promised to propose accepting federal Medicaid expansion, a move that would add about 76,000 low-income people to Medicaid and save the state about $280 million over the next two years thanks to an infusion of federal dollars. But Republicans have been outspoken against it, saying putting more people on Medicaid will shift costs to the private sector and ultimately cost the state more in later years. CRIMINAL JUSTICE: Evers said he will not include funding for a new prison, but he will increase spending to pay for hiring more guards and pay them more. Evers also wants to reduce the overall prison population, which is about 32 percent over capacity, but has not said exactly how he will do it. Evers wants to indefinitely delay closure of the troubled Lincoln Hills juvenile prison, while spending nearly $200 million more on smaller replacement facilities. He also wants to raise the age that offenders are considered adults for most crimes from 17 to 18. NATURAL RESOURCES: Evers plans to borrow nearly $70 million more over the next two years to combat water pollution and replace lead pipes. Evers also said he wants to hire more scientists at the Department of Natural Resources after some positions were eliminated under Gov. Scott Walker’s administration. DARK STORES: Evers will call for closing the “dark stores” loophole that allows big box retailers to save millions of dollars in property taxes by assessing the value of their active stores as if they were vacant. PLANNED PARENTHOOD: Evers will include nearly $28 million to support women’s health care issues, including restoring funding available to Planned Parenthood that was blocked by Walker. REDISTRICTING: Evers proposed a nonpartisan redistricting process that would take away the Legislature’s power to draw political boundary maps, a move he said would stop partisan gerrymandering. Republicans support the current process. The next round of redistricting will occur after the 2020 census. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Evers campaigned on defunding the state’s job-creation agency, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. But since winning election, Evers backed off on eliminating WEDC and instead will propose tightening restrictions on tax breaks it gives companies. MINIMUM WAGE: Evers also campaigned in support of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. He said his first budget will provide a pathway to getting that done, but will not go all the way in two years. WHAT’S NEXT: Evers’ budget goes first to the Legislature’s Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee, which will hold public hearings across the state before returning to Madison to begin rewriting the plan. The budget begins July 1, but if the Legislature hasn’t passed a new spending plan by then the old one remains in effect. Evers has threatened to veto the entire thing if he cannot reach a deal with lawmakers.

Winter’s grip hanging on for a while as time to remove shanties nears WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
MADISON -- As Wisconsin meteorologists predict more snow and more sub-zero temperatures well into March, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Law Enforcement today urged all ice shanty owners to take steps and plan now to remove ice shanties by the deadlines. Capt. April Dombrowski, head of the Recreational Safety and Outdoor Skills Section, says the deadlines are to remind people to start removal efforts sooner when the ice is more likely to be solid. “The deadlines also are to help people avoid the additional costs and safety hazards of shanties breaking through the ice,” she said. However, Dombrowski says the DNR realizes the challenges of Wisconsin’s sometimes rapid weather changes. Discretion will apply for those working to remove; check local help options “We understand shanties may be frozen in place by several inches of ice - and some lakes have thick snow from the recent major storm which poses even more challenges,” Dombrowski said. “However, based on current Wisconsin winter weather conditions, enforcement discretion will be applied for those who are actively working to get their structures off the ice.” Dombrowski recommends anglers begin immediately to assess their shanties’ removal possibilities and work with local vendors, fishing clubs, friends, and others for assistance. “Try your local businesses. Anglers may find services in their home areas who can either do the removal, rent the equipment to assist in that removal, or some other help in removing those shelters from the ice,” she said. Anglers who have difficulty getting their shel-
ters off the ice by the deadline due to deep snow, or shanties frozen to the ice still need to work actively to free their shelters from the ice or arrange to have the shelters removed from the ice. Report status to hotline The DNR encourages ice anglers to call the department’s Hotline, 1–800–TIP–WDNR or 1–800–847–9367, to report their situation if they are having difficulty meeting the removal deadline. The angler’s information, to include name, water body, and approximate location where shanty is located will be passed on to the local conservation warden who will use discretion in the enforcement of the deadline. After the removal deadlines, anglers can continue to use portable ice fishing shelters daily if they feel the ice is safe -- and if they remove their shelters daily and when not actively being used. Permanent shelters, meaning those normally not removed daily from the ice, must be removed from the ice no later than the specified removal date for that water body. Here are the statewide ice shanty removal dates: • Wisconsin-Minnesota boundary waters by March 1. • Removal daily after the first Sunday following March 1, inland waters south of Highway 64 (Sunday, March 3, 2019). • Removal daily after the first Sunday following March 12, inland waters north of Highway 64 and all other outlying waters (Sunday, March 17, 2019). • Wisconsin-Michigan boundary waters by March 15. • The Fox River downstream from the DePere dam in Brown County, ice fishing shelters must always be removed from the ice daily and when not in use.

Divided control of state government has led to budget delays Since 1977, three of the four latest dates for enactment of Wisconsin’s state budget came during periods of divided government in which either the Legislature and governor’s office were held by different parties or the two houses of the Legislature were controlled by different parties. In the 2017-19 budget, though, both houses of the Legislature and the governor’s office were held by Republicans. The delay occurred largely because lawmakers and the governor were unable to agree on transportation funding — an issue likely to resurface in this year’s budget deliberations. Ultimately, previous legislatures and governors have found a way out of impasses and even the most committed partisans have been able to accommodate one another. It remains to be seen whether the current legislative session — in which control is split between Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican majorities in both houses of the Legislature — follows the same pattern or breaks new ground.
Mike McCarthy accused of berating prep refs PULASKI––Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy has been accused of confronting and berating referees after a loss by his stepson’s high school basketball team. The Pulaski School District says McCarthy followed the officials as they left a game last Tuesday. Pulaski High School defeated Notre Dame Academy by a point, ending its season. Notre Dame said last Thursday one of its administrators received a call of apology from the parent involved, but declined to say it was McCarthy. WLUK-TV reports the referees filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, the state’s high school sports regulatory body. The sports agency representing McCarthy did not immediately return a request for comment. McCarthy was fired in December, his 13th season with the Packers.
Early Childhood Screening
REGISTRATION TIME AT SIREN SCHOOL
Grantsburg Elementary School is currently putting together a screening for three and four year old children in the Grantsburg School District. The screening will take place on Wednesday, March 13th at Nelson School. The students who will be screened are those who will turn four between March 1st and August 31st, 2019. The screening is designed to be the first step of formal communication between the school and your child. The screening will last about an hour and culminate with a brief exit interview conducted by our principal, Elizabeth Olson, and our school psychologist, Caitlin Bloyer. At that time you will be able to ask any questions you might have about the school or your child’s development.
Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Programs
We understand you are very busy, but we hope you can attend the screening with your child.

Oops. Did you catch it? I said we will be setting our clocks back on the 10th. I was wrong. Be sure to set your clocks ahead an hour on Saturday night. Anyone interested in Medicare Supplement information and the special March open enrollment extension ending at the end of the month, stop in March 14th at 2 p.m. Ask your questions and check out what’s best for you. There will be representatives from American Senior Benefits there to answer your questions. I don’t know about you but I’m sure glad February is over. Despite this weather of snow off and on we managed to pack the house on Thursday for Liver & Onions with about 30 in for lunch. So, it seems March is coming in like a lion. Oh, I do hope it goes out like a lamb. And we only have about
15 days until Spring. And of course, March 10th, don’t forget we set our clocks ahead. Fun facts this month in history: March 7th , 1876 Alexander Graham Bell receives a patent for the telephone. March 9th, 1959 the Barbie doll debuts at the American Toy Fair in New York City. According to Wisconsin stories, no offence, but Green Bay is known as the “Toilet Paper Capital” of the World.

WEEKLY WAG
Winter birds
EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
The thermometer on my car read -18 degrees Fahrenheit as I turned off the highway onto a snow covered road northwest of Duluth. A leaden sky didn’t offer any additional warmth. My parents and I were warm, though, wrapped up like onions in our many winter layers with the car heater blasting. We were looking forward to a full day of birding in Sax-Zim Bog. This 300-square mile mix of aspen uplands, rivers, lakes, meadows, dead-ending back roads, and farms has become famous for its ability to attract and support many species of birds that usually remain farther north. Our first destination was a windswept field with a gravel road bisecting it and a string of utility poles lining the road. Anemic gray light made the scene look barren from afar, but soon a white shape materialized on the top of a particular pole. I pulled up beside it, rolled my window partway down, and turned on my camera. The shape shifted, rotated, and two dark eyes came into view. Snowy owls can be territorial even in their winter feeding areas, and while there are not many other owls around to challenge him, this guy (male, as indicated by his very white feathers) seems to have staked out his claim. That’s a boon for birders who, like my parents from Iowa, drive great distances to see his species in the bog. The frigid morning, complete with a stiff breeze left over from recent severe weather, did not seem to faze the owl. Why should it? Most of his relatives are surviving just fine up above the Arctic Circle. Food and space are more limiting than cold when you have thick feathers all the way to your toes. That substantial winter coat contributes to the snowy owl’s status as the heaviest owl in North America, weighing four pounds. The open car window soon let in enough cold air to get uncomfortable, so we blasted the heater and drove up toward the Welcome Center run by the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog. Bright sunshine greeted us, as well as a cluster of bird feeders that were just wild with activity. The stripy little birds with red smudges on their foreheads looked nothing like the snowy owl, but these common redpolls are no less birds of the north than he is. They breed all around the top of the

globe, in a circle that borders the Arctic Ocean, and their global population numbers in the tens of millions. They must be doing something right. Just like the snowy owl, these little birds have a thick coat of feathers. Redpolls add 31 percent more feathers for the winter. That’s a big increase for a bird that only weighs half an ounce to begin with. Back in January, when Prof. Sheldon Cooper from UW Oshkosh lectured our Winter Ecology participants about the Winter Ecology of Birds, he compared small birds adding feathers to putting a toddler in a snowsuit. A big critter, like a snowy owl or an adult human, can still move pretty well, even if you add some puffy layers. The smaller the critter, though, the more those layers can impede movement. Redpolls do have one advantage over owls, though, because they can fit into sheltered spaces—snow tunnels for redpolls and tree cavities for most other small birds—that protect them from wind chill even better than feathers could.
News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
Just like adding feathers, adding fat has its pros and cons for small birds. Getting too fat can make it harder and more energetically costly to fly, and reduce their ability to escape predators. Chickadees may only achieve 10 percent body fat, and 12 percent better feather insulation even in the winter. Pine siskins, though, put on 50 percent more fat than redpolls do. Little birds do not store fat in an insulating layer of blubber like penguins and whales; they accumulate stores of brown fat around their wishbone and abdomen as a ready source of fuel for their metabolisms. Birds can also store fuel outside their bodies. One reason those chickadees do not need to store fat is that they store food—in up to 2,000 little caches. What they do with that fuel is also important. Many

birds shiver to stay warm. It is effective, as long as they have plenty of fat to burn. They can also go about their business as usual. One study found that chickadees’ feathers can capture the heat generated by hopping around to eat. Forage more, shiver less, and you end up warm, with the additional benefit of a belly full of food. Prof. Cooper’s lecture came back to me as we watched redpolls, siskins, and chickadees hop around the Welcome Center’s feeders. As I photographed a fluffed up siskin perched above the feeder with just its toes exposed, I thought back to a slide Cooper presented to us about “heat conserving postures.” The diagram showed a little bird in warm weather standing normally with its legs and feet exposed. With each successive decrease in temperature, the bird squatted lower and surrounded more of its legs and feet with fluffy feathers. Despite his feathered legs, the snowy owl displayed a similar toe-hiding posture. From inside my warm car, the sight of all these little puffballs made me chuckle. Once the frigid air hit my face, though, I was reminded that fluff is rather serious stuff to a bird in winter.

Man sentenced to 7 years for trying to join Islamic State MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee man who tried to join and fight for the Islamic State has been sentenced to seven years in a federal prison. Federal prosecutors said Jason Ludke was a “true danger” and asked for a 20-year sentence followed by a lifetime of supervised release. But, Ludke’s attorney asked for five years, saying his client was a “lost soul.” The Journal Sentinel says U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman settled
on seven years last Tuesday, followed by 10 years of supervised release. The 38-year-old Ludke and Yosvany Padilla-Conde were charged in 2016 with attempting to provide support to a foreign terrorist organization. Court records say the two defendants had a series of online conversations with an undercover FBI employee in which they professed allegiance to the Islamic State.

Colfax stops Tigers in double overtime GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—It took until the second overtime before the Colfax Vikings managed a narrow 75-72 win over the Webster Tigers in the Regional Final at Webster Saturday night. “Our men played their hearts out,” said Coach Rob Scherrer. “They left it all on the court and as a coach, that is all you can ask for. We are tremendously disappointed, but sometimes things just don’t work out like you would want them too. Colfax played a great game, they shot the ball exceptionally well, and took advantage of some mismatches. “I think the turning point in the game was when Colfax switched over to a 1-2-2 zone. We didn’t adjust very well and it caused us problems.” With a little over 13 minutes left in the first half, the Tigers were up 9-7. Two of those points came on a perfectly timed lob from Hunter Rosenbaum to Jack Washburn for a slam dunk which got the crowd off their seats. Colfax big man George Scharlau had a hot hand in the first half, scoring 21. He had 16 points from that mark until 1:33 remained in the half. At that time, Colfax was up 29-24 and extended the lead to 32-25 at the halfway mark of the game. The Vikings extended their lead to 11 at the beginning of the second half, scoring 11 to the Tigers’ seven. Washburn had five and Rosenbaum two for Webster in that span. It was then that Webster caught fire. Washburn got four points with Trevor Gustafson and Coleton Peterson each getting two to make it 45-41, Colfax. Both teams battled back and forth and when Peterson got a layup, the Tigers led 56-55 with 6:07 remaining. It was knotted at 62 with 1:52 left. After a Colfax timeout, the Vikings worked the clock down to 11 seconds and called another timeout to plan the final shot. The first shot by Colfax missed

and a Viking rebound and shot also failed, sending the game into overtime. Colfax got two free throws and Washburn a three
pointer. The Vikings were then one for two from the line and Washburn hit another three. The Vikings got a three point shot to tie the game at 68 with 34 seconds left. Webster called time, then inbounded and worked the clock down to :09.3 and called time again to plan. After the pass in, Colfax fouled as they had a foul to give. With 0:00.3, seconds remaining, Webster threw in and got off an awkward shot which did not go in. This forced a second overtime. Colfax got two pairs of free throws and a field goal with Webster getting a layup by Carsen Stenberg to make it 74-70, Colfax. Washburn was two-for-two from the line and Colfax one-for-two, to make it 75-72 with 12 seconds left. After a missed shot by the Tigers, Colfax rebounded and was fouled. The shooter missed both charity tosses, giving the Tigers another opportunity to tie. Another foul by Colfax was one they had to give and gave Webster 3 seconds to inbounds and shoot. The shot missed, Colfax rebounded, and the horn sounded. “Colfax’s big man is a great shooter. In the first half, we gave him too many open looks. We made some adjustments at halftime and I thought we did a nice job taking away those looks in the second half. “Jack Washburn played an exceptional game tonight,” commented Coach Scherrer. “He played like a ‘player of the year’ type of kid. He willed us back into the game, his tenacity and his will to win are second to none. But sometimes, like tonight, that isn’t even enough. “I think we were a little beat up after Friday’s game. No excuses, in tournament play you have to play on back to back nights. “It has been a great year, a year that will not easily be forgotten in the future. I couldn’t be prouder of my guys and what they have accomplished throughout these past two seasons.”
Gerber and Petersen perform at State gymnastics meet GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WISCONSIN RAPIDS—Gracie Gerber and Jeni Petersen had strong performances at the 2019 Individual State Gymnastics Meet. Gerber competed in the uneven bars event finishing in seventh place with a score of 8.417. She also qualified for the all-around event and took a 22nd place finish with a score of 33.65 for all four events. Petersen took an 11th place finish in her lone category, the floor exercise with a score of 9.25. “The new format ‘Capital Cup’ was a great day for spectators to see the best of the best, with alternating rounds be-
tween DI and DII competition,” reported Grantsburg-Webster coach Kathy Lund. “Warm-up took place in a separate gym where it was calm and quiet. Each round of competition had a formal march-in and march-out of competitors. Each gymnast had a 30 second touch warmup. Once the competition began, the gym became a roar of cheering. “Petersen had a great floor routine scoring a 9.25, just not enough to place. Gerber competed in all four events, but it was on the uneven bars that she shone, scoring an 8.417, just .07 from medaling. Both Gerber and Petersen gave it their best.” Receiving State Recogni-

Second half struggles end Pirates’ season STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
CLEAR LAKE—“Talk about March Madness,” Grantsburg Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said after the Regional semi-final match-up Friday night. “We obviously came out ready to go and executed our plan perfectly in the first half. “We expected them to come out and pressure us in the second half, but we didn’t expect that we wouldn’t be able to handle it. I explained to the guys in the locker room, before the game, that handling the emotions of the game would be key. I think we got caught up in those a little bit when Clear Lake came out and pressured us and everything just slowly fell apart from there.” After controlling the tempo of the game in the first half and taking a 22-11 halftime lead over the number one seeded Clear Lake Warriors, the Pirates saw the wheels fall off as they were outscored 37-7 in the second half. The Warriors took the win, 48-29, to end Grantsburg’s season. “I’m proud of my guys for competing like they did in this game against the #4 ranked team in the state,” coach Hallberg said. “This group has come a long way in just the last few weeks.” The Pirates went into the game with the perfect plan against the high-powered Warriors— keep the ball out of their hands. That plan was executed flawlessly in the first half as the Pirates took a 9-0 lead, not allowing Clear Lake to score until nearly midway through the half. The Pirate offense was patient as they moved the ball around the court, eating up the clock and finishing offensive possessions with points. Grantsburg’s defense was on point as well, as they pressured the Warriors and picked off passes to put themselves back in control of the tempo of this game. The Pirates held a 22-11 lead as the teams headed to the locker room at halftime. The Warriors made adjustments to start the second half, ramping up their defensive pressure as they double and triple teamed the Pirate ball handlers forcing turnovers they capitalized on with points. And, in what seemed like the blink of an eye, the Pirates’ lead disappeared and the game was knotted up at 22-22. Clear Lake’s offense exploded as they went on a 30-0 run with the Pirates not getting their first points of the half until the 8:40 mark on the clock at 24-41. The scoring slowed from there with the final being 29-48.

Austin Wedin and Jared VanWatermeulen added six points each, with Luke Anderson chipping in four and Gabe Chenal one. The Pirates end the season with a 10-12 overall record, and 5-7 in conference play. They say good-bye to three seniors— Luke Anderson, Joey Duncan and David MacKean. “We’re going to miss the three seniors that finished the season with us,” Hallberg said. “Joey, Luke, and David are great kids and will be successful adults. We wish them the best of luck and thank them for being a part of this program. “I’m excited for the next few years. We have a lot of talented kids with some potential. As cliche as it may sound, these guys need to commit to the gym and the weight room to get to where we want to go.”
Tigers beat Saints to reach regional finals GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers continued their trek to the Sectional WIAA playoffs with a 59-54 win over the St. Croix Falls Saints Friday night. “They are big and physical,” said Coach Rob Scherrer after the game. “We didn’t adjust very well the first half. They have big bodies.” The teams played evenly during the first seven minutes of the game with Webster having a two point edge at 12-10. After a Saints timeout, St. Croix went on a 17-7 run, giving the Saints a 27-19 advantage with 3:34 left in the opening half. Webster scored the last six points of the half with Hunter Rosenbaum getting a field goal and Jack Washburn going two-for-two at the line and also getting a field goal. The Tigers trailed 27-25 at halftime. To open the second half, Webster scored 13 points to the Saints’ seven to take the lead by four at 38-34. SEE TIGERS ON PAGE 17

Both Jack Washburn and Trevor Gustafson had six points apiece with Carsen Stenberg adding a three point shot during that time. The Tigers were able to hold an eight point edge with 50 seconds on the clock. During that stretch of time, Washburn received a pass and went down three quarters of the court and brought the crowd to life with a spectacular slam dunk. The Tigers held out over the last minute of play. St. Croix scored five points near the end to make it 59-54 when the final buzzer went off. “We talked at halftime about making adjustments to their (St. Croix Falls) being physical. We just had to play more physically,” added Scherrer. “We may have had some jitters, but it’s playoff basketball. A win is a win whether you win by one or more than one. “You have to tip your hat to St. Croix Falls. They executed their game plan very well. They took us right down to the wire. I told their coach that they are a very good basketball team and their record is not indicative of what their team is like. “I don’t know if the bye affected us. It’s always nice to play a couple of games a week, but no matter what, you have to come out and play.” Washburn finished with 23 points. Both Coleton Peterson and Trevor Gustafson added 11 each with Hunter Rosenbaum finishing with nine points. Jared Lessman and Kullan Parks had 17 and 15 points respectively for St. Croix Falls.

OBITUARIES
RECENT BIRTHS
William A. Johnson Bill was born on Sept. 229, 1951 in Grantsburg. He w was baptized in his family’s c church, Trinity Lutheran C Church of Falun. Bill attended school in A Alpha and Grantsburg, g graduating from Grantsb burg High School in 1969. B Bill was voted most athletic iin his class. Bill started work at N Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company in June of 1969. Bill had many jobs during his 44-year career with the company. Bill said he learned a lot during his apprenticeship with Ray V. Johnson. Bill was given the task of mapping the system’s power lines and keeping inventory (which included numbering each power pole.) Later Bill worked with Clarence Wagman on keeping continuous property records and with Gene Olson on power line staking. Bill also spent time reading meters and in the trenches, working with the underground line crew. He completed lineman apprentice school in 1982 and in 1989 became line supervisor of the crews, a position he held until his retirement for health reasons in 2013. Bill was fortunate to love his job (with perhaps the only exception being having to tell folks he had to cut down their trees.) Bill asked Priscilla Bauer on a date in 1971 and thus began their 48-year relationship. Throughout the years they enjoyed trips to Colorado and Canada, collecting antiques, taking rides on Crex Meadows, fishing, and going out to eat. An avid sportsman, Bill loved fishing on the St. Croix River, the lakes of Burnett County, and Canada. Bill was a life-long hunter with bow hunting being his passion. (Cilla, in what must have been a weak moment, bought Bill his first bow.) Bill and his friends spent many happy years hunting together. Bill found great pleasure hunting the land he owned behind his home in Alpha and north of Grantsburg. Always the generous guy, Bill shared his love of the land with his friends, inviting them to hunt his property in his favorite spots. Even as his health failed and Bill was unable to go hunting he still liked taking trips around the Crex and roads north of Grantsburg to look for deer and turkey (while listening to Willie Nelson’s Roadhouse on the radio). Bill liked going to Grantsburg High School football games, catching all the action from the comfort of his truck. Bill spent many hours in his recliner watching Wisconsin Badger and Green Bay Packers football games, old westerns, and the history channel. Bill loved books, collecting them and reading them. In recent years he found comfort reading many biographies, histories of America and the old west, and Louis Lamour novels.

er Maggie Mae on the program he became an instant fan. Bill and friends made several trips to Sandstone, Minnesota to see her perform. Getting his picture taken with her was an added bonus. In recent years Bill liked going to garage sales with friends John and Jerry. He would come home with all sorts of treasures and some things he would simply explain buying by saying “But they were just so cheap!” When it wasn’t garage sale season Bill liked checking out online auctions or going to the Milltown Auction House where he could sit in a comfortable chair and bid on items to add to his collections of antiques (of which he had quite a few), old fishing lures being especially fun for him to find. After retirement Bill struggled with multiple health issues, which greatly limited his ability to do many of the activities he so enjoyed. One thing he looked forward to was going to the Kozy Kitchen for breakfast and conversation with friends. While Bill’s health kept him from doing many of the things he loved Bill continued trying to be as active and involved for as long as he was able with his determined spirit for life. Bill will be sadly missed by Cilla, his family and friends. Bill was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Jessie Nordstrom and Albert and Ida Johnson, his parents, Helen Wicklund and Alden Johnson, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his much loved kitty, T.C.

NOVEL IDEAS
Finding Dorothy CHRIS STUCKENSCHNEIDER NOVEL IDEA BOOK EDITOR
Your “troubles (will) melt like lemon drops” when you walk the Yellow Brick Road with Elizabeth Letts’ crowd-pleaser, “Finding Dorothy,” a historical novel that will have readers tuning into “The Wizard of Oz,” yet again. This year marks the film’s 80th anniversary. The publication of Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” in 1900, elevated him from jack-of-alltrades to an author immortalized. Yet most of us are more familiar with the film than with Baum’s book and life story, an oversight Letts wanted to rectify with her novel. Frank Baum’s longtime wife is the central character, a free thinker who had four sons, almost dying in childbirth with the second. Maud Gage Baum is smart and headstrong, the daughter of suffragette Matilda Joslyn Gage, who raised Maud to be independent, sending her to Cornell University where male students vastly outnumbered females. In college, a friend introduces Maud to actor Frank Baum. Maud drops out of school and marries Frank, having no idea she’ll be hitched to a dreamer who’ll dabble in a variety of jobs before finding his pot at the end of the rainbow. The novel begins in Hollywood in 1938, when Maud visits the set of “The Wizard of Oz,” determined her late husband’s book will be represented as she sees fit. In her 70s, Maud is a force to be dealt with as she stands toe-to-toe with Louis B. Mayer, and tries to right injustices Judy Garland is subjected to. The book shifts back and forth from 1938 to Maud’s upbringing, family life in New York state, early marriage, and advancing years with Frank and her sons, highlighting the adjustments she must make as the Baums move from New York to South Dakota, to Chicago, Frank’s artistic nature shackled by have-to jobs he takes to support his family. “Finding Dorothy,” is sprinkled with enough facts to win a trivia contest, its homespun voice reflecting morals at the turn of the century — nary a sultry bedroom scene or curse word to bleep. It’s a feel-good book about a plucky woman married to a visionary who marched to a magical drum, a true wizard to Maud, the Auntie Em of Frank Baum’s classic.

Wisconsin governor orders troops to leave southern border TODD RICHMOND ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers ordered the state’s National Guard troops to withdraw from the border with Mexico on Monday, drawing the ire of a Republican congressman from Illinois who serves as a pilot in the Wisconsin detachment. Former Republican Gov. Scott Walker ordered troops to Arizona in June to assist with administrative duties along the border. Evers, a Democrat, issued an executive order Monday withdrawing them. Evers announced the order late Monday afternoon. The governor said about 112 troops are currently serving in Arizona, but keeping the borders safe and protecting immigrants seeking asylum is the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol’s job. He said there is not enough evidence to support Republican President Donald Trump’s declaration that a national emergency exists and there is no justification for Wisconsin troops to remain. “I cannot support keeping our brave service men and women away from their families without a clear need or purpose that would actively benefit the people of Wisconsin or our nation,” Evers said. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman from Illinois, tweeted on Monday that he is a member of the Wisconsin National Guard and criticized Evers for
his decision. In a series of tweets, he said he was sent to the border as a member of the Wisconsin National Guard and his crew caught a man crossing the border with 70 pounds of methamphetamine. “Wonder the damage that would do in Milwaukee ...” he tweeted. He went on to claim he and his crew “captured a few coyotes, who prey on desperate migrants” and he came across a woman alone in the desert and helped the border patrol rescue her. He tweeted that stopping illegal immigration is an honorable mission and asked Evers whether his decision to withdraw was a political one. He also asked Evers to reconsider. Kinzinger echoed those sentiments during an appearance on Fox News, criticizing Evers for not visiting the troops on the border. He accused the governor of lacking the courage to announce the withdrawal earlier in the day. Kinzinger represents 14 counties in northern Illinois. His spokeswoman, Maura Gillespie, said he flies the RC-26 surveillance plane for the Wisconsin Air National Guard, the closest unit to Kinzinger’s home that uses the plane. A Wisconsin National Guard spokeswoman didn’t respond to an email asking whether Kinzinger would face any military discipline for criticizing Evers, the Wisconsin National Guard’s commander in chief.
Reports from police and sheriff agencies are simply arrest reports. At press time, no charges have been filed.

Lent, a reminder of our mortality
Pastor Marilyn CrossďŹ eld First Lutheran and Laketown Lutheran Parish
Today is Ash Wednesday, the day Christians begin the season of Lent. On this day we remember we have come from dust and to dust we shall return. We remember our own mortality. That is difficult for some. I understand that, it is difficult for me this year. My husband died unexpectedly just a few months ago, and now I am called to lead my congregation in remembering their mortality. It is not something we want to remember, and yet there is something holy in remembering, because in remembering we are reminded of the hope and promise we, as Christians, trust we have in Christ. Though this Ash Wednesday is more dif-
ficult than others, it is still one of my most treasured worships. It is the time I can come to the altar and remember that death is a reality, but it is not what defines me, and it is not what ends me. I have been defined by the one who called and claimed me as a child of God. That is the reality for my husband. That can be the reality for all people. God longs for all to know this promise. Though my husband is not here in the physical presence I long for, I live in the hope that he is secure in the promise of everlasting life. That promise is available for you. That is the promise we ponder and dwell

in as we prepare to celebrate the promise of Easter Sunday. In Lent we take on a spiritual practice to help us grow in that promise. This Lent I am taking on the spiritual discipline of gratitude. I am ending each day by looking at the things I had to be thankful for and offering them up to God. How is God calling you to observe this season of Lent? How are you being invited to live? However you are being invited, I pray that you will answer God’s invitation and your journey will lead you into a renewed sense of God’s love and promise for you.
