K-9 unit visits Webster students JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER––Tracker, the Burnett County Sheriff’s department K-9 unit went to meet with Webster 5th graders earlier this month and they finished their drug and alcohol prevention program. “This prevention program is sponsored by the BC Department of Health and Human Services,” said Restorative Justice program coordinator, Tammy Hopke. “This is the second year that DHHS has partnered with law enforcement and gone into the schools to work with 5th graders.” Hopke said the programs goes on for six weeks and is done at all three schools in the county. Students are presented with the facts about drugs and alcohol. She added they do not

use scare tactics, but present the students with facts and provide information on how to make good choices.

“You would not believe the number of our 5th graders who have had their lives affected by someone in their families

addicted to meth. It is heartbreaking,” Hopke said. She said on the last day of class Tracker and Sheriff’s Deputy Olson come to the school for a question and answer session. Olson also explains to the students how Tracker is used to find drugs. Lisa Slater of the Burnett County Law Enforcement Citizens Auxiliary said the kNOw METH program of Burnett County was very helpful with the program. “The HHS department and county board feel strongly that prevention is the key to keep our youth away from drugs and alcohol,” Hopke said. The students were also given the opportunity to wear “beer goggles” that simulate the affects of alcohol and then we’re given a kind of field sobriety test.

SIREN–– Siren police chief says theft and property to damage are up Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers made his annual report to the village board last week. His main point was that the department was busy, but they are getting a lot done and not just letting it all pile up. “Thefts and burglaries went up 47 in one year, in 2016 we had 37 cases and in 2017 we had 84,” Sybers said. “Those cases take a lot of time. We investigate for weeks just trying to find the stolen property. We look at the internet and local pawn shops and it just takes time.” He was optimistic about all the property they had found. Of the $34,925 worth of stolen property, they recovered $23,901.

“The good news is, we’re finding a large amount of the stolen property, but it’s still a lot of work and hours,” Sybers said. Sybers also reiterated what he has said all year – cases are up, along with arrests and destruction of property. “Last year we had 17 cases in January,” Sybers said. “This year we already have 25 cases and it’s only the 11th of the month.” Sybers said that from 2016 to 2017 case numbers went up by 203, service calls went up by 182, citizen contacts went up by 1,663. He added that domestic incidents went from 3 in 2016 to 10 in 2017. Disorderly conducts doubled from 9 in 2016 to 18 in 2017. DSI Village President Dave Alden is sending a letter to Gov. Scott Walker and WHEDA Chief Operation

GOVERNMENT CENTER––At the natural resources committee meeting on Thursday Mike Kornmann, UWEX Community Development Educator gave his report on campground trends and conditions throughout the county.

Zoning lot discussion The board continued their discussion of changing the zoning of two lots on Third Avenue between County Road B and Bacon Street from commercial to single-family residential.

Existing county campgrounds Kornmann explained there are about 600 campground sites throughout the county, with only 100 being short-term sites for daily or weekly rental. The remaining sites are for seasonal use, typically open from May 1 – Oct. 15. He brought up Governor Knowles campground in Grantsburg, the Bashaw Lake resort in Eastern Burnett County, Voyager Campground in the Webster area and Eagles Landing in Danbury. “These are private short-term rentals in the county,” Kornmann said. The average rate is $30 -$35 for a typical hookup per night. That cost includes water,

Schachtner wins State Senate seat

Patty Schachtner delivered a stunning upset as she defeated Adam Jarchow on Tuesday night in the special election for the Wisconsin’s 10th district Senate seat. Initial vote totals showed Schachtner of Somerset, collected 12,139 votes across the 10th district of Wisconsin, Jarchow of Balsam Lake collected 9,865 votes. Libertarian candidate Brian Corriea collected 269 votes. “Thank you to everyone who came out to vote tonight,” Schachtner said on Facebook after the results came in. “I am so grateful for your support and I will work every day to move our community and our state forward as Schachtner your next state senator!” The seat was vacated after Sheila Harsdorf resigned last year from the State Senate following her appointment by Governor Scott Walker to the office of secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. In Burnett County, Jarchow received 722 votes and Schachtner received 500 votes. Corriea received 18 votes in the county. Vote totals are unofficial until the county canvass later this week. Jarchow received almost 60 percent of the votes in the county. He also won every municipality in the county. Jarchow is an member of Wisconsin’s State Assembly and will remain at that seat. He beat fellow Assembly member Shannon Zimmerman of River Falls in the special election primary last month. Schachtner is the St. Croix County Medical Examiner and is a member of the Somerset School Board. “Three months ago, I would never have imagined that I’d be running for State Senate,” Schachtner said. “I feel humbled and honored to know that my neighbors in Western Wisconsin feel as I do— that our communities are stronger when we work together towards common sense solutions.”

ZONING LOT: Discussion at Village Board meeting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Jeff Howe owns the lots and is planning on building houses there in the spring. Village Trustee, David Doty, said there needs to be language in the agreement because of Best Western in the area. “We can’t have the new homeowners moving in and complaining about semi’s running all night and making noise,” Doty said. “I’m not against it, but it was a commercial lot first.” Doty’s main point was that the Best Western shouldn’t be punished because the board changed the lot from commercial to residential. The rest of the board agreed and specific language on the topic was added to the agreement. Caucus Three Siren Village Trustee seats are up for election in the spring. David Doty, Marvin Halverson and Rudy Mothes will all be running as incumbents. They will be joined on the ballot by Jim Pearson and Nick Haessly. After all candidates turned in their papers, they drew for order. It will be Pearson, Mothes, Haessly, Halverson then Doty on the April 3 ballot. In other news: • The board approved to have the MSA do a year 2 phosphorous, copper and zinc report for the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES). • They also approved the 2018-2022 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). • Board members approved the Burnett County All Hazards Mitigation plan. • Lastly, the board approved the recommendation of allocating $1,500 a year for televising sewer mains in the village.

CAMPGROUND: Two possible sites in the county CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

electricity and general fee for using campground. National trends Kornmann told the committee that millennials should be the focus for the campground. Younger people see camping as a social event that is very affordable. He added that millennials would be looking for more recreational activities like hiking, kayaking and biking. “They aren’t just going to be setting up a tent and fishing all weekend,” Kornmann said. “Also we have to think more in the future, like 50 years and design it with that in mind.” According to Kornmann’s data, 68 percent of campers travel within 150 miles of their home and 80 percent travel within 200 miles from their home. This gives Burnett County a competitive advantage of campgrounds east of

the county. Operations and Marketing Kornmann’s data suggests a 50site campground with 50 percent occupancy could bring in approximately $144,000 annually. But the 50 percent occupancy could take up to five years to accomplish. He added the best way to market the campground would be through social media and an interactive website. “It would be critical to have an online reservation system in place,” Kornmann said. Burnett County site Jake Nichols, Burnett County forestry administrator said they have two possible sites for where to build the campground. The first was at the intersection of Highways 35 and 77, the second was located near Carters Bridge and Loon Creek. The committee discussed that the Carters Bridge location would be better because it has access to

a lot of different waterways. Nichols than explained the committee would need to say what amenities they are looking to have installed. “As soon as you know what services you want to offer, we can have an engineer draw up some plans,” Nichols said. “It’s going to cost more to put in showers and flush toilets, than it would to have pit toilets.” Nichols expressed skepticism with having wi-fi at the campground. But said he would look into it. After the Carters Bridge site was voted on and approved by the committee Nichols said he would start seeing how the campground would probably be funded by the RV council and a stewardship grant. “This will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Nichols said. “We may need to scale back amenities from everything that you want to be offered.”

Foresty and parks had solid timber sales last year JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– As of Dec. 31, Burnett County has $1.4 million in timber sales revenue, with $400,000 going to the counties townships and the rest of the money is going into the county’s general fund. “Timber sales are good to go,”said Jake Nichols, Burnett County forestry administrator. “We’re getting $11.27 per acre, which is good because it used to be $7-$8. I was surprised because that’s a pretty good payback.” In his monthly report, Nichols also explained that trail conditions were poor, but wasn’t surprised because of the weather over the past few weeks. “There are some issues we’ve had with off-trail riding, there was one accident on Webb Lake that was due to speed and alcohol,” Nichols said. “But we’re not seeing as much off-trail riding as we did last year.” Invasive species The committee continued their discussion on aquatic invasive species with Dave Ferris, County Conservationist. Ferris explained how the New Zealand Mudsnail could be the next species on the county’s radar. “They obviously originated in New Zealand, then came from out west,” Ferris said. “They have

been traveling this way through trout streams.” According to the Wisconsin DNR, the mudsnail has already been identified in the great lakes and that they usually measure 4 to 6 millimeters. Ferris also said the county is battling the zebra mussels with de-contamination stations being installed at area lakes, especially in the Big McKenzie area. “We’re using a diluted bleach solution, it’s about 1 tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water,” Ferris said. “It’s efficiency is about 90 percent in decontaminated boats.” Agriculture projects Randy Gilbertson of the Burnett County Land Conservation department gave his annual report of agricultural projects to the committee. Some of the projects included planting cover crops after fields are harvested. Cover crop elimates run-off when the ground freezes and melts over the winter and also helps keep the nutrients in the soil and not ending up in the waterway. Gilbertson said the department also installed over 5,000 feet of new pipe for waterlines at farms and have been keeping them above ground. “The animals don’t seem to mind that it’s above ground,” Gilbertson said. “They install it near

fences, so it’s not in the animals’ way. Also, it’s easier to find a leak if it’s not buried three feet in the ground.” He added the department put up about 20,000 feet of fencing throughout the county. Forestry truck bid The committee spent the last few minutes of the meeting discussing a bid on a new truck for the forestry department. The bids from the state were lower than the local offer, but the committee went with the local offer even though it is more expensive. Nichols said the price for a Chevy 1500 and a Ram 1500 were both less expensive than a bid from Fiedler Ford in Grantsburg, but that it would be better for maintenance to go with Fiedler. “If it needs to get fixed we may need to drive it a few hours to get serviced if we go with the state bids,” Nichols said. “If we go with the local offer we’ll just have to take it to Grantsburg.” He added the man hours could pile up if potential maintenance work requires the truck be left over night and somebody has to go pick up the worker who dropped the truck off. The committee approved to buy the Ford F-150 at $29,040. The state bids for the Chevy and Ram were $28,634 and $27,837.50, respectively.

Fire at Siren trailer park SIREN— Four children ,aged 2-10, and one adult escaped a fire at the Siren trailer park last Wednesday. The Siren and Webster Fire Departments along with Siren Police Department respond-

ed to the call. No injuries were reported. Siren Police and Fire departments are jointly investigating the fire. The children’s mother, Kari Eberle, is in the custody of Wash-

burn County for possession of methamphetamine and bond violation. The children stayed with a neighbor the night of the fire. The cause of the fire is still unknown.

Winter is better JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

As I was standing on Big Wood Lake awhile ago I kept thinking, this is how Wisconsin winter days are supposed to be - 20 something degrees, drinking hot chocolate with a pair of shorts on under my jean and three shirts on under my new winter jacket. They are not supposed to be 30 below windchill with cars having to run 15 minutes before shifting out of park. I had to drive my LeSabre around for 20 minutes at least twice a day to ensure it turns over the next time. One thing I have noticed since moving up here is I can always tell now when it has been a good weekend for snowmobiles because the tracks are all over the hills as I drive into work on highway 70 Monday morning. Sentinel The tracks go across the hills with limited footprints going Editor straight up and back down. SomeJonathan Richie times there is enough room for the tracks to criss-cross, it is something that looks very cool and coordinated. (I’m not much for playing in the snow after my college roommate almost got us both killed drifting on fresh powder in a vacant parking lot.) A lot of people say their favorite season is summer because of the weather. Most other people say their favorite season is spring or fall because of the colors. But few people openly admit that winter is their favorite season. I appreciate that moment in our hemisphere when everything begins to die and then gets cold and turns white. “It’s too cold.” “It’s dark when I go to work and darker when I leave.” The former is a mindset and the latter will help you enjoy your weekends more. Let’s focus on the cold. Yes, it is cold in the wintertime and not so much for the other three seasons. But I will argue that the cold is better than the hot. Let’s say you’re cold this weekend, you have many options. First, you can put on comfy clothes like sweatpants and cozy slippers. Second, you can grab a blanket and a loved one to help keep you warm. What is in place over the summer to stop from overheating? Air conditioning is one option, but the body doesn’t naturally absorb cool air like it does hot. The point I’m trying to make is over this last summer I would be sitting around in my underwear with two oscillating fans on high bearing down on me and would still be sweating. Granted, I sweat a lot, but it can become unbearable in the summer. The colder months allow us all to reach that warm feeling with however many blankets, quilts or padded socks you need. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Cabin fever cures TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

Cold weather got you down? Finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning? Is the air in your house so dry you give yourself static electricity shocks? It must be the dead of winter, prime time for cabin fever, seasonal affective disorder and itchy, flaky dry skin. We truly have been spoiled in recent winters when we received less than the normal amount of snow and had warmer than normal temperatures. But, reality always needs to rear its ugly head in the end, whether it’s in From the Publisher’s the form of Arctic cold or heavy snow. We have dodged many snowstorms Desk this winter, which may be good for your lower back, but the snow Tom Stangl “drought” is bad for the local econi omy. M Many b businesses depend on a healthy amount of snow. The area where we live is prime for outdoor fun in the snow either motorized (snowmobiles) or non-motorized (snowboarding, tubing and skiing). The lack of snow has hampered these activities and limited the resulting economic activity that comes when people play in the snow. The cold snap that we had between Christmas and New Year’s was beneficial in that it brought ice levels in many areas to safer levels and killed some of the flu bug that continues to wreak havoc on school attendance. Several organizations depend on ice fishing contests to raise funds for the worthy causes the groups support. A winter with lower snow amounts can be tolerated – one without ice for fishing? I don’t think that would fly. The cold weather has forced many to stay indoors,

resulting in some cases of cabin fever. Like it or not, we are spending more time indoors. So, what are you doing to while away the time spent indoors? Have you cleaned and organized the place? Busy preparing receipts for income taxes? How about baking? Warms the house, involves the kids, gives you all something homemade and warm. It can be a good way to pass the time, but with precious little physical activity, it can also be a recipe for tighter fitting clothes. Reading is a good way to pass the time, as long as you can find a good book. The mind can provide escape from nearly anything, if given some good material to help it along. One thing I have noticed is a resurgence of board games. Once written off as passé in the electronic age, it appears that marketing campaigns and the need for human interaction have brought them back into fashion. In fact, I would argue that they are more popular than ever, enjoying a renaissance as the younger generation discovers favorites old and new. When we visit our children, we often end up playing a board game. Whether it is a card game or a game of strategy, we always seem to have a good time. The basic competitive nature of people rises to the surface and that can be as much fun as the game itself. As to the seasonal affective disorder and dry skin, getting as much daylight in as possible, consider adding Vitamin D to your diet, lowering the temperature of your shower and adding a humidifier are probably your best bet. Hang in there, there’s a lot of winter to go. 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.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

$1 million ad campaign seeks to attract, retain Wisconsin workers WISPOLITICS.COM

The state’s first-ever advertising campaign to attract and retain Wisconsin workers is getting a thumbs-up from business and economic development leaders. Mark Tyler, president for OEM Fabrication, says it’s a good idea given the workforce shortage plaguing Wisconsin manufacturers. “We’re a state that doesn’t beat its chest and say ‘Look how good we are,’” Tyler told WisBusiness.com, a sister site of WisPolitics.com. “The problem is, you’ve got to find a way to get the message out.” OEM Fabrication creates custom components for original equipment manufacturers, offering services in engineering and design, product welding, advanced machining and other areas. The company has three locations in Woodville, Neillsville and Phillips. Tyler points to the increased web presence and the ads themselves as good ways to spread the word about the opportunities available in Wisconsin. “We have a lot to offer that people in other states don’t know about,” he said. “Our manufacturing sector in particular ... it’s a sleeping giant.” Ads of all shapes and sizes are peppering the Chicago area. The $1 million price tag for the campaign is coming out of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.’s fiscal year 2018 budget, covering paid advertisements in a variety of channels. These ads highlight specific advantages of living in Wisconsin compared to a bigger metro area, such as shorter commute times, lower taxes and lower rents. Aaron Jagdfeld, president and CEO of Generac, says “we look forward to talking to applicants from the Chicago area who are interested in helping us with everything from engineering to operations to finance at more than half a dozen facilities statewide.” James Otterstein, economic development manager for Rock County, says the Janesville-Beloit region welcomes the opportunity to leverage this initiative as a platform to leverage messaging in the Chicago area. “Today’s business development environment is increasingly driven by workforce development considerations, which is why a strategic and targeted talent recruitment campaign makes perfect sense,” Otterstein said. Paul Jadin, president of the Madison Region Economic Partnership, notes the Madison region and the state overall offers numerous opportunities both for career advancement and for social,

recreational and cultural pursuits. “There is an abundance of professional opportunities here, both in legacy industries and in areas of innovation,” added Jerry Murphy, executive director for the New North. He says this campaign complements talent attraction efforts already being undertaken in northeast Wisconsin. Bill Rubin, executive director for the St. Croix Economic Development Corporation, says the group also supports this approach to growing the state’s workforce. “Wisconsin offers young professionals unlimited opportunities in cutting-edge careers, including biotech, med-tech, advanced manufacturing, engineering and software,” Rubin said. “Pick your region, pick your lifestyle, Wisconsin has ‘it.’” The WEDC’s Tricia Braun, says momentum has been building for this campaign for about two years. “We had been hearing as an agency from all of our partners, businesses that we work with, etc., that talent is increasingly the number one issue for Wisconsin,” she told WisBusiness.com. “Looking at what we could do to market Wisconsin to out-of-state workers, the reality was there was a large lack of perception or misperception on the types of opportunities that Wisconsin offered.” She says the effort to draw Wisconsin alumni and millennials from out-ofstate will reframe the narrative by showcasing opportunities for careers and for personal fulfillment. Ads will take the form of targeted social media posts, streaming video and audio ads, mobile app pop-ups, banners on trains, backlit billboards in downtown health clubs and branded coasters in restaurants and bars. All the visual ads have a similar look, with bold colored frames surrounding two-pane images contrasting big city life with living in Wisconsin. Video ads share the same comparative structure. One billboard has an image of cars stuck in busy traffic above a photo of two paddle-boarders soaking up the sun. It reads: “Brake pedal, or board paddle? The choice is yours. In Wisconsin, the average commute time is less than 22 minutes, so you can spend less time traversing Michigan Ave and more time exploring our 15,000 lakes. Wisconsin. It’s more you.” The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

Value Strip

As newspaper editors and journalists, we know that words matter. That’s why we want to be up front about an instance in which we were not careful enough with ours. When we published our pre-election campaign coverage last week, we were proud to include reporting on campaign finances. It takes initiative to acquire that information, then a great deal of time to go through it and make meaning from the raw data in the reports. We were humbled when, upon further review, we realized that the report could potentially have led readers to have a negative view of the activities of candidate Adam Jarchow. For instance, when we summarized his economic impact statement we didn’t include enough analysis and context for readers to readily distinguish between his former law clients and current campaign contributors. That means we didn’t do our jobs well enough. Another example: “Follow the money.” The two of us have heard the phrase used so often and in so many contexts that, perhaps naïvely, we didn’t realize that for readers of another generation it strongly connotes the Watergate scandal. That’s certainly not a connection we intended to draw. What we had hoped readers would take from that part of the article was

Kar Jackers joins Siren Chamber A great show that everyone can afford SIREN-On January 9, the Siren Chamber of Commerce welcomed Jack Eastman and Kar Jackers Entertainment as their most recent member with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Eastman started Kar Jackers Entertainment in 2006. “I just did it for fun for people. Then one day someone asked me how much to do a birthday party in the back room of a bar. I realized people liked what I was doing and it just evolved.” Around 2010, he added karaoke to his entertaining services as well as DJ music. In 2017, Eastman invested in a photo booth. “We now do karaoke three nights during the week and many birthdays, weddings, etc. on the weekends.” With two full-time staff members along with a few part-time individuals, Kar Jackers Entertainment offers music with dance lights and fog, karaoke, a photo booth, and even services as an ordained minister. “We do shows all over Wisconsin and Minnesota. Also we have traveled to northern Iowa.” Kar Jackers has performed at locations from casinos, bars, camp-

that money from within and outside of District 10 is being used to influence the election. Knowing that brings a list of new questions: Is outside influence growing over time? Are campaign-spending totals growing? Who are the outside entities that have a stake in this election? These are the types of questions we hope to explore more and do a better job of answering in the future in an effort to make the words you read in this paper even more meaningful. We want to leave you with a few parting thoughts. First, to assure you that neither of us try to spin facts to change minds. Ever. We know our readers are smart enough to recognize bias, and having the trust of our respective readerships is equally if not more important than the outcome of any election. We take our job to provide you with straightforward facts very seriously. We made mistakes in our haste to analyze and present this data. With the aim to continue to be better journalists we have talked about how to do things differently in the future, including making sure we have the time to do complex work to the very highest standard.

Gubernatorial candidate visits Grantsburg JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––Last week candidate for governor, Matt Flynn was in Burnett County and stopped by the Sentinel offices. Later that day he was in Siren at the senior center for the Burnett County Democrats Appreciation Dinner and their get out the vote kickoff weekend. In 1981 Flynn was elected state chairman of the Democratic party of Wisconsin. “During that time we had a progressive tradition, schools were good and democrats and republicans were working together,” Flynn said of his time as state chairman. “We worked with Republicans to get clean water passed through the state.” Flynn is a proud veteran of the Navy, where he served from 1969-1972. He was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey, where his father was a professor at Rutgers. Once he left the Navy, he went to law school at UW-Madison. He returned to work in law after leaving his post as the state’s Democratic party chair at Quarles & Brady. “I’m the only veteran in the race,” Flynn said. “The current administration has taken the state off course.” Walker and Trump Flynn said President Trump and Gov. Scott Walker are clear and present dangers to the United States democracy. Flynn talked a lot about the Foxconn deal in Wisconsin, saying it will cost the state $4 billion.

The Republicans have left almost $6 billion on the table that could and should go back into these communities.” Flynn added that he will be the champion for northern Wisconsin.

the state. “I want to have psychologists and psychiatrists available for walk-in appointments in all counties,” Flynn said. “I also want to join the lawsuit against big pharma, the ones who helped the opioid epidemic start a few years ago.” Flynn said by making those changes the government can get vigorously involved in all communities. “I have advocated for the legalization of marijuana in the state-recreational and medicinal,” Flynn said. “If you get two possessions, you’re automatically a felon with jail time. It’s tough to get a job after that. I do not think it’s a gateway drug.” He added it also has an economic element to it, which is the state can tax it, like Colorado and California. Progressive candidate Flynn identifies as a progressive candidate, but also says he is a Harry Truman-John F. Kennedy Democrat. He also believes in climate change and believes the information should be available to the public. “The republicans are anti-science,” Flynn said. “We need to take climate change seriously.” He is also for broadband being a utility cost to people in Wisconsin like electricity and water. “Everybody needs access to the internet, whether it’s for their job or personal life, it’s a necessity in today’s world,” Flynn said. “And if I get elected we’re going to do everything to keep Net Neutrality in place and not give over control to big businesses.” Flynn is currently running against 13 other candidates that have declared they are running for Governor as a Democrat. The primary election will be on Aug. 14, with the general election on Nov. 6.

WEBSTER––The Webster school board meeting began with a quick presentation by members of the Middle school’s science club. The club is run by 5th and 6th grade science teacher, Gina Simon, who did not expect the initial feedback she received from the students. “I put up the sign-up sheet and expected a few kids,” Simon said. “We actually had 30 kids sign up and have an average of 25 kids per meeting.” Simon said that two members of the staff usually attend club gatherings to help the kids with the experiments. She added she began the club to give students more hand-on learning opportunities. The club usually meets twice a month, on a Wednesday evening for about 60 to 90 minutes. The Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) has been instrumental for the club and provides the equipment the club rents out. “We just got the robots in, so we’ll be using them in certain activities over the next month,” Simon said. “Then next we’ll be getting the drones.” Simon explained that CESA rents out equipment for a month. She attended training over the summer to gain certification and now is able to use this equipment with the science club. She was joined by three students at the meeting and all three expressed interest in science in their future careers. Elijiah Ward and William A. Johnson both said they want to go into engineering and math in their futures. Ward added he always has a lot of fun whenever working with the science club. Abby Brown explained how she

Webster bike race hopes to offer camping during weekend race JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER–– The Village Board meeting last week began with the trustee caucus. They continued talks on the Fat Fish 40 race and had a brief discussions on the village’s light poles. Representatives Bill Summer and Al Hane came to the meeting with the hope of getting their race approval on renting out camp sites for the race in Webster. The Fat Fish 40 name comes from: fat tire bikes, the only bikes allowed in the race; fish, because Webster is the sunfish capital; and 40 from the race being 40 miles. “We’re still finalizing the course, but we’d like to offer camping because people have been asking about it,” Summer said. Summer said through the race’s website, www.fatfishrace.com. They have received an abundance of inquires about the race. “We’ve received thousands of inquires about the race on our website and Facebook page,” Summer said. “This is a big community, there will be

a lot of people coming up for this.” Hane and Summer came to the meeting asking about camping sites for the riders and then explained more of their plan for the race that is scheduled for May 5 in Webster. “We’d like to have tent camping at the fairgrounds,” Summer said. “ It would be mostly tents, not pull through RV’s. Real simple and we would, of course, make sure everything is cleaned up by Sunday when they leave. Hane explained that riders would be arriving on Friday and settle in with a spaghetti dinner in the evening. Then the race would start at 9 a.m. on Saturday, with a bonfire that night. “Registration would also include a brat and a beer after the race,” Summer said. “Then we’d make sure everyone knew they have to clean up after themselves before they leave on Sunday.” Hane believed they would need somewhere between 40 and 80 campsites that would be marked at 10 feet by 10 feet. The board then began offering up suggestions on where to put the campsites. “They could set up outside the ball field near the senior center,” said Tim

Maloney, Village Trustee. All members of the board were very enthusiastic about the concept of the race and allowing people to camp in Webster for the weekend. “It sounds like a great idea,” said Sarah Casady, Village Trustee. Hane asked the board about what kind of fee the village would charge for setting up camping and was surprised by the response. “It’s a great idea, so this first year is on us, no monetary fee for the inaugural year,” said Charlie Weis, Village Trustee. Summer and Hane both expressed gratitude and explained they are planning on charging $10 per campsite and that money would be donated back to the village. “If the riders want to donate, have them donate to the Main Street Flower fund,” said Jeff Roberts, Village President. Light Poles During the meeting Greg Widiker made a remark about routine pole maintenance. “I was driving through town and noticing some of the light poles are leaning and it just looks bad,” Widiker said. “Is there anything we can do about that?” Public Works Director Jay Heyer said those poles are operated by Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company. “They don’t replace the poles unless a safety inspector inspects the poles and designates them as not safe,” Heyer said. “Until that happens, they won’t

replace them.” Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company has been replacing light poles in the Webster area, but some board members noticed it wasn’t enough. Maloney called it “shoddy work.” He added he noticed a pole that a new pole was put up but the old pole was simply sawed off at 12 feet and not taken down. The light poles were not on the agenda so no action was taken. Caucus Webster’s caucus for village trustee was held right before the meeting with three trustee seats up for election on April 3. Those seats are currently held by Sarah Casady, Kelsey Gustafson and Greg Widiker. Casady, Gustafson and Widiker were the only nominations at the caucus. After the nominations candidates drew for ballot position. The candidates will appear on the ballot Gustafson, Widiker then Casady. In other news: • The board heard from local businessman Ken Erickson, who spoke about putting up an office building on the North corner of Highway 35 and Juniper Road • The board voted to approve the Burnett County Hazards Mitigation Plan. • Trustee Maloney, gave a shoutout to the Friends of the Library in Webster, who donated $5,000 to the Larsen Library during 2017 and announced the used book sale over the weekend.

Primitive Biathlon and Indoor Fur Trade Rendezvous coming up at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park DANBURY— The Great Fur Trade Rendezvous at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park is held in mid-summer to coincide with the time of year the fur traders of 200 years ago would “rendezvous” at Grand Portage or Fort William along the northern shores of Lake Superior. Once there, they would transport traded furs to Montreal and receive fresh supplies for their trip back to their wintering trading camps. But you don’t have to wait several months to enjoy the comraderie and fun of a fur trade rendezvous. Forts Folle Avoine near Danbury will hold a mini-rendezvous inside the Visitor Center at the Historical Park to give faithful fur trade reenactors a chance to reunite and sell their wares to each other and the visiting public. Traders come from all over the Midwest for this annual winter event, bringing with them fur-trade era trade goods, homemade crafts, handmade tools and rendezvous clothing, primitive camping equipment and other items you might find at rendezvous encampments throughout the country. The Indoor Fur Trade Rendezvous at Forts Folle Avoine will be held on Saturday, Feb. 17, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 18, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Also on Saturday, Feb. 17, Folle Avoine is holding a Primitive Biathlon. This event, co-sponsored by the Traditional Muzzleloading Association, combines marksmanship with endurance. Participants snowshoe through a course that includes three rounds of traditional black powder rifle or musket shooting at the gun range, and must provide their own equipment. The park’s range master, Jim Swanson, will be giving a presentation about Muzzleloader Hunting in Primitive Style on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 11 a.m. in the fur trade museum of the visitor center. Jim is a resident of Menomonie and is a retired alternative school teacher. He is a lifelong outdoorsman and outdoor writer, and enjoys teaching youth and adults alike about the art and beauty of traditional muzzleloader hunting. Jim will also be setting up his primitive winter camp for the weekend outside the visitor center. Other traders and hearty souls are invited to set up their camps outside as well. Traders may reserve space by calling 715-866-8890

Ruby’s Food Shelf starting 2018 with a new look On January 11, Ruby’s Food Shelf moved to the back of Ruby’s Second Hand Store in Siren. This move allows the store to expand its show room space and move the food shelf closer to their garden. This spring, staff hopes to build a few more raised beds to increase the ability to provide more fresh produce to customers. Ruby’s Food Shelf is an outreach of Home and Away Ministries, a 501c3 Christian ministry. Their mission is “to procure and distribute corporate surplus food and goods to help fight poverty, hunger and disease in rural communities in the United States for those with low resources and in crisis through churches, food shelves and other local civic organizations.” The majority of their food is donated by Ruby’s Pantry, and they also receive regular donations from FourWinds Market and Wayne’s Food Plus. Financial donations are used to purchase food items not typically donated (soup, peanut butter, flour, sugar, canned fruit and vegetables) as well as covering the costs of transporting the food to Siren. Purchases of items in Ruby’s Second Hand Store helps cover overhead costs. Ruby’s Food Shelf is staffed by dedicated volunteers. They are currently seeking volunteers to help cover some of their two -hour shifts. They are also recruiting volunteers with gardening expertise. Ruby’s Food Shelf is open Mondays and Fridays, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Wednesdays 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., and

Every year in the United States, 27,000 people get cancer caused by the Human papillomavirus (HPV). That’s one person every twenty minutes of every day, all year long. The HPV vaccine is cancer prevention. This vaccine can prevent the majority of cancers that are linked to HPV. Prevention is important because most cancers associated with HPV do not have symptoms until they are late stage and treatment is difficult. This virus can cause cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, throat, tongue, and tonsil cancers. With this in mind, there is no screening for any of these except cervical cancer. The good news is cancer prevention is available to most people under 27. Preteens and teens (11-14 years old) only need two shots while teens and adults (15-26 years old) need three shots for cancer prevention. Both boys and girls should typically receive this vaccine starting at 11 years old. If the vaccine series is administered before the child’s 15th birthday only two doses are required. If both doses are not administered before then, three shots will be required. Girls can receive the vaccine until 27 and boys until 22, unless there are other factors: ·Young men who have sex with men, including young men who identify as gay or bisexual or who intend to have sex with men through age 26; ·young adults who are transgender through age 26; and ·young adults with certain immunocompromising conditions (including HIV) through age 26. Whether you are a preteen, teen, or young adult, there is no better time than now to protect yourself against cancer. Make an appointment to see your healthcare provider today!

So He put His arms around you, And whispered, “Come with me.” With tearful eyes I watched you suffer, And saw you fade away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Working hands were put to rest. God broke my heart to prove to me, He only takes the best.

Always love you and miss you more each day.

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

properties right now. Typically we find when the inventory is low, and there are less choices for buyers, you may get a maximum price on your property, unlike in the spring when the market gets flooded with listings and there is more competition. Vacant land tends to increase in sales this time of year as people start receiving tax returns and are tired of the long winter. Many buyers start looking for a get-away property for recreation to pull the camper to or build a cabin on. If you’re thinking of selling, it’s a great time to get a Market Analysis from your local Realtor to educate you where the market is, and what your property is worth at the current time....and “IT’S FREE”!

Q. What is the danger with ice build-up A.

on my roof?

The main danger is you falling off a Gary Nelson ladder trying to get rid of the ice. The other danger is damage to your home if you try to chop the ice off with a hammer or axe as shingles can get damaged allowing water to seep in during the spring melt. The best way to get rid of the ice is with products sold at hardware stores - simply ask, and they can help. Some people have taken an old sock, filled it with rock salt, and laid it down on the ice to create a channel for melting ice to escape. Be careful on that ladder and leave the hammer and axe in the shed.

Regardless of how old your system is or how much you use it, it is still important to have itt Peter Ward inspected at least every two years. Much like the smoke detectors in your house or a plug in CO detector, all these devices need to be tested to ensure proper function. Some of the systems installed are wireless devices containing batteries that should be replaced every 2-3 years. Other devices like our smoke detectors or motion detectors should be cleaned and inspected for proper function and to avoid false alarms. Cameras should be cleaned and focused. Finally it is essential to have one of our trained technicians test each device whether its hard wire or wireless to ensure it is working as it should, and all signals are sent to our central station. Having your system inspected and tested is a great way to ensure it will function as you need it when you need it.

Although cough drops and lozenges can help to bring relief to a sore throat during cold and flu season, long-term use of cough drops can lead to widespread tooth decay. Most cough drops leave a sticky film on the teeth, leaving a layer of sugar sitting on your teeth for hours at a time. Without removing that sugary film, cavities can occur very easily.

It is sponsored by the VFW and Falun Lutheran Church. Everyone is welcome to come. I believe the hours are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Our decorating elves have been back getting the Christmas items down and changing the season with snowmen.

Burnett County Democrats gather in hopes of gaining senate seat JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN––Last Friday the Burnett County Democrats held an appreciation dinner and get out the vote event at the Siren senior center. The event had 10 scheduled speakers and seven are running for governor in the Aug. 14 primary. A hot meal was served a little after 5 p.m. and guests were encouraged to bring a dish to pass for the potluck. As the crowd ate the speakers began making their pitches. The senior center was full of supporters and staffers. Candidates for Governor in attendance were Michelle Dolan, Matt Flynn, Dana Wachs, Kathleen Vinehout, Tony Evers and Andy Gronik. Also speaking was State Senator Janet Bewley, State Assembly member Nick Milroy and State Senate candidate Patty Schachtner.

The event revolved around getting Schachtner elected to the 10th district State senate seat, which was vacated earlier this year by former State Senator, Sheila Harsdorf. Burnett County Democratic Party chairman, Dan Moe was organizing people for making phone calls over the weekend and getting people ready to go door-to-door to gain support for Schachtner. Some of the candidates like Dolan and Gronik have little or no political experience in their background while others like Evers and Flynn have been involved in state politics for many years. “Politics as usual is not working,” Gronik said. “I’m here furthering progressive values.” Gronik added he is for regionalizing job training and paying families living wages throughout the state. “Before I started my campaign I traveled around the

state for 18 months and met over 700 people,” Gronik said. “And I’ve got to tell you, Scott Walker doesn’t have a playbook for me.” Walker, Trump and Foxconn The common targets for these candidates were Gov. Scott Walker, President Putin and the Foxconn deal.

Flynn said that Walker and Trump are clear and present dangers to the United States democracy. He added that when he was in the Navy, Russia was their adversary and they still are today. Dolan said Foxconn shouldn’t receive special preference and should be held to the same standards as other Wisconsin

companies like Harley-Davidson. “The middle class is diminishing, into almost non-existence,” Evers said. Evers explained he’d like to put more money back into education and that people making less than $50,000 annually should not have to pay any property tax. “I’m a statewide elected official,” Evers said. “The reason you want me to win is because I can beat Scott Walker.” Schachtner said before the event that she couldn’t believe the amount of support she has received during the campaign. “It’s really good to know that people who don’t even know you have a huge vote of confidence in what I’m doing,” Schachtner said. She continued to say District 10 and all of Wisconsin needs more access to jobs, healthcare, and local control of government.

Governor Walker champions additional aid for Wisconsin schools MADISON – Governor Scott Walker today announced additional Sparsity Aid payments for the 2018-19 school year under proposed legislation. This change will help offset the unique challenges faced by the following school districts in your area: • Siren School District, Current Estimated Increase $49,876 in Sparsity Aid • Webster School District, Current Estimated Increase $70,365 in Sparsity Aid “Every child in Wisconsin should receive a great education, regardless of where they live or what their parents do for a living,” said Governor Walker. “That’s why we strongly support additional Sparsity Aid for Wisconsin’s rural schools, and that’s why we invested more into K-12 education than ever

before in the history of our state. We’ll continue to drive student success for all of Wisconsin’s students.” Representative John Nygren (R— Marinette) and Senator Howard Marklein (R—Spring Green) are authoring legislation (Senate Bill 690) that increases Sparsity Aid by $6.4 million for the 2018-19 school year. The bill provides an increase from $300 per pupil to $400 per pupil for districts that currently qualify for Sparsity Aid. “I am very proud to be joining Governor Scott Walker to introduce this legislation that will provide significant additional resources for public schools across Wisconsin. In particular, relief for low spending districts,” said Representative Nygren. “This bill will provide more resources for the classroom and increase educational opportunities

for students, regardless of their zip code. I would like to thank Governor Walker for his collaboration and leadership on this issue and I look forward to continuing to work to ensure that all students get the world-class education they deserve.” The Sparsity Aid Program aims to offset the challenges faced by low-population school districts through providing $300 in per-pupil funding for school districts with 745 students or less and a population density of less than 10 students per square mile. “SB 690 enhances the historic $11.5 billion investment in K-12 funding in the biennial budget by providing additional support for rural schools,” Senator Marklein said. “I am proud to champion good policy on behalf of the school districts I serve.”

Investments from the Governor’s budget supporting rural school districts include: increased funding for High-Cost Transportation Aid to help offset the increased cost of transporting students to schools in rural areas; Broadband Expansion grants providing schools and students access to fast, reliable internet service in underserved areas, as well as mobile hotspots for school buses; and $6.65 million to address students’ mental health needs. These initiatives are in addition to the historically-high $11.5 billion investment in K-12 education included the 2017-19 state budget that provides a $200 per student funding increase for every student in every school in the state this year and, on top of that, an additional increase of $204 per student next year.

Blizzard get ﬁrst win after loss to Warriors Coach Quimby. “Solid performance again by Jared Lee, Dawson VanMeter and David Doty to generate lots of our scoring.” The Blizzard outshot the team from Chequamegon by a 55-26 margin. Blizzard goalie Caleb Johnson kicked out 21 of 26 shots on goal.

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—“Well I can say one thing for sure… it sure feels nice to get a W!” exclaimed Blizzard coach Rick Quimby following his team's 8-5 win over Chequamegon on Saturday. “The boys played well. Goaltender Caleb Johnson held us close enough so we could finally get our offense going. We have a lot of players that are working very hard and we are just struggling to put everything together, but we finally pulled enough together today to get the win.” “We started strong but part way through the first period, we lost our way again and they came back to put us behind.” The Blizzard opened the scoring in period one on a goal by Jared Lee. Dawson Van Meter and David Doty assisted. Six minutes later and then nine minutes later, Chequamegon scored and the end of the period saw Chequamegon with a 2-1 advantage. “After some much needed ‘encouragement’ in the locker room, we came back out strong and bounced back with a few goals then again we let up and they came firing right back.”

RICE LAKE SHUTS OUT BLIZZARD

SUBMITTED

Blizzard goalie Caleb Johnson stretches for the puck and a stop against Rice Lake.

Chequamegon scored the first goal of the second period at the 3:35 mark to go up 3-1. Three minutes passed and then Lee got his second goal of the game with Doty assisting. Then Burnett tied the score at three with a goal by Lee, again assisted by Doty and Dawson.

Taylor Zenzen and Tanner Van Meter put the Blizzard up 5-3 before the end of period two. Logan Meagher, Jared Lee and Dawson Van Meter got the assists. Chequamegon scored the first two goals of the last period, but it was the Blizzard who

got more. Taylor Zenzen got his second goal, David Doty his first, and Jared Lee (fourth of the game) in the last period of play, giving the Blizzard the win. “It was a fight the whole game for the boys, but in the end it was worth it,” praised

“We played well, but again did not put three periods together,” said Coach Quimby following the 8-0 loss to Rice Lake. “We had sparks here and there, but we simply got out hustled and out played. The boys have talent and we played very well for two periods with solid defense from Jase Quimby and Brenton Nelson and some great goaltending from Caleb Johnson. We just fell apart in the third, got tired and outplayed.” The Blizzard were outshot by Rice Lake 37-23. The Blizzard will have played at Barron on Tuesday and then will host Amery at Grantsburg on January 23.

Eagles teach basketball lesson to Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—“I hope we learned some lessons tonight,” said Webster coach Rob Scherrer following the 59-42 loss to the Unity Eagles on Friday night. “When you win 10 games in a row, you start thinking you are almost unbeatable. This (the loss) is not a bad thing, we'll learn from it,” reflected the coach. At 14-13, Unity, the Eagles moved out to a 22-16 advantage with 4:44 left in the first half. The time-out helped as the Tigers scored six in a row, four of them by Hunter Gustafson, to knot the game at 22. Unity called time at that point.

The Eagles scored six to the Tigers’ two in which the first half ended with Unity leading 28-24. To open the second half, Unity ran off 12 tallies to the Tigers’ two in which Webster called time at the 13:10 mark, trailing by a 40-26 score. Webster then put seven on the board with the Eagles scoring four, Unity 44, Webster 33 with 8:25 left. The Tigers maintained momentum, narrowing the deficit to nine, 49-40 with 3:48 remaining. Unity finished the game on a 10-2 roll, 59-42. Hunter Gustafson finished with a team high 12 points with Coleton Peterson getting 11 for the Tigers. Game high scorer was Unity’s

Logan Hendrickson with 23. “When you don't rebound well and you make too many turnovers, you usually don't shoot well and you don't win many games,” expressed Coach Scherrer. “Our hats go off to Unity as they are three- or four-time conference champions. They brought it tonight and the score shows it.” After playing Hayward on Tuesday, the Tigers host Frederic on Friday and travel to Grantsburg next Tuesday. Friday's game is at 7:15 p.m. and Tuesday's game starts at 5:45 p.m. At right, Hunter Gustafson (50) looks to pass against Unity’s Cody Ince (32) and Logan Hendrickson (34). GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL

Handling prosperity Dear Packer fans, I am a life-long, die-hard, purple-blooded Vikings fan and I am coming to you desperate for your expert advice. Please help me as I’ve found myself in uncharted purple waters. As I’m sure you’re aware, this past Sunday we witnessed an incredible end to the NFL Divisional playoff game in which it seemed we would be suffering another heart-stomping, soul-crushing, life-sucking defeat in a meaningful game. My Vikings were going to blow another one. In fact, I was so sure of it that by the time the Saints apparent game winning field goal sailed right down the middle of the uprights (imagine that) I Inside the was already trying to rank the worst “beats” in Vikings history. Huddle Where would this one rank? It would be hard to Bob Rombach put it ahead of the 1998 season since that was in the NFC Championship game and it seemed like it was our year. I know you remember that one since you bring it up to me all the time. Could it rate ahead of the 2009 season? You remember that one too, right? Yeah, it was against the Saints again. The Favre across his body/12 men on the field game. Oh yeah, now you remember. That was in the Championship game, too. So, I thought maybe this Saints game could be close to that Saints game, but this one was a bit different. This one I could feel coming. Maybe I could feel it because I’ve been burned so many times before. I’m sure it would rank ahead of Blair Walsh’s wide left in frozen TCF Bank Stadium and it’d rank higher than Arizona’s Nate Poole in 2003 when he caught that game winner which knocked the Vikes from the playoffs, but maybe even worse, put the Packers into the playoffs. Remember that one? After that game you guys gave Nate Poole a Key to the City. That was super special. I was too young to remember the genesis of all of these, the Drew Pearson push-off, but I do remember the 1987 Championship game against the Redskins where Darren Nelson dropped the game tying touchdown. Oh, and 41-0 against the Giants in the NFC Championship game, the most lopsided score ever in a playoff game. Good times. It’d have to rank ahead of Antonio Freeman’s “He did WHAT!?!” game where he caught the ball off Chris Dishman and walked-off a 26-20 overtime winner on Monday Night Football. Incidentally, the Packers didn’t have to come back out of the locker room to kick the extra point. So that’s what I pondered (ugh. Ponder.) as the kick sailed through the uprights and only 25 seconds remained on the clock. What happened fifteen seconds later would erase those thoughts. Heck, it would erase a lot of things. It erased the bitterness from ’98. From ’09. From wide left. It erased the Josh McCown to Nate Poole play, 41-doughnut, the Dishman debacle, heave-crying in ‘87. All of it. Wiped clean. Curse? What curse? At least for now, it feels like we have a clean slate, a fresh start, a new beginning. The reason I write all this to you, my dear Packer friend, is because you’ve been enjoying your own prosperity for so, so long. I mean, look at it. Lombardi, Bart Starr, the Ice Bowl, Superbowls I, II, XXXI, and XLV. Favre into Rodgers. I mean, outside of the better part of the 1980’s, you have been feasting on the finest meats and cheeses in all the land. How do you do it? How do you handle the success so well? I’m asking because it sure seems like I’m going to need to learn, I need some mentorship. And who better than you? Some of you have been trying hard to exhibit some truly remarkable skills. For example, I’ve learned to degrade the other’s success. One of my Packer friends handled the Vikings incredible, once-in-a-lifetime walk-off game winning touchdown not by reaching out and enjoying that his friends are overjoyed, but by going to Facebook to claim the whole thing is rigged. RIGGED! There’s an old saying that goes, “you can have the tallest building in town by either building yours the highest, or by tearing everyone else’s down.” Tear them down! Brilliant! I’m learning that some Packer fans handle their incredible decades long prosperity by asterisking the NFC North Champions* because, after all, Aaron Rodgers went down so it wasn’t a fair fight. Delicious! I love how you do that without even mentioning how your beloved front office put your team into that situation initially. And you don’t even recognize that the Vikings starter was injured, too. It’s so good. I’m learning a lot already from a few of you already! I think I’m going to enjoy learning this “handling prosperity” thing from you. Some of you have perfected snark, pretentiousness, and condescension and I can only hope the Vikings have so much success over the next forty years that I become as high and mighty as a few of you. This writing is my first attempt at putting all I’ve learned from you into practice. How did I do? Love, The SKOL Troll P.S. I’m just having a little fun. You know I love you.

Dragons get on track with win over Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—“The first half we played pretty good, but the second half was better,” praised Siren coach Ryan Karsten following the Dragons' 51-31 win over Webster last Tuesday. “Tonight it was a good team effort,” he continued. “I played more freshmen tonight and we just keep rolling along, with them getting used to older players.” Abby Kosloski was her normal self, getting 10 points alone in the first half of play. Cassie Maslow was right behind with seven. For the Tigers, Hannah McDowell had the hot hand, scoring nine. “We've got some young players and they get into foul trouble,” said Coach Mat Wood of the Tigers. “We also had problems with our passes. “We got to get more comfortable with the ball in our hands.” Second-half action saw the Dragons get 24 additional points to Webster's 17.

Pirates fall to tough McDonell squad BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

CHIPPEWA FALLS—The Grantsburg Pirates headed south on Saturday to take on the Chippewa Falls McDonell Central Macks in a non-conference contest. The Pirates came up short, falling 33-64 to a tough McDonell squad. The Macks play in a strong West Cloverbelt conference and came into the game with a 10-2 record, so the Pirates knew they had their hands full. Olivia Ohnstad was the only Pirate to get into double digit scoring with 10 points. Brooke Quimby was next on the scoring list with nine. Cassidy Chenal, Olivia Brock and Kaitlyn Robelia had four points each, and Janessa Bonneville finished off the list with two points.

Dragons win second straight BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—“It was a good basketball game between two equal teams,” said Siren coach Ryan Karsten following a close 40-38 win over the Luck Cardinals on Friday. “It came down to the last possession, so it was entertaining. There were times we played well and there were times we did not. We had an eight point lead with 1:15 left and we win by two. We made some mistakes down the stretch, but made enough plays to win.” “I really thought Hannah Lemieux played well; she hit 3threes, Elle Emery played big minutes tonight for us due to foul issues, and Kyleigh Lightfeather played well with seven rebounds, two assists, and great defense.” “It is great to see kids step up in times of adversity.

Abby Kosloski was her solid self with 10 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks, and three assists.” Siren led by just one at the intermission, 14-13. Abby Kosloski two field goals with Hannah Lemieux getting a three pointer. Melin had six and Thoreson four to lead the Cardinals. The scoring opened up in the second half as the Dragons put in 26 to the Cardinals 25. Lemieux and Kosloski each tallied six for the Dragons in this half. Thoreson poured in 13 for Luck. “It was a great win in front of our fans. Three of the next five games are against the top teams in Northwest Wisconsin - Flambeau, Northwood, and St. Croix Falls. They are the best in the area. It will be a great test for our team.” The Dragons will have played Flambeau on Monday and LCO on Tuesday. Friday they will be at Northwood and they will be at St. Croix Falls on Jan. 25.

GRANTSBURG—The St. Croix Falls Saints poured in 47 second half points to defeat the hometown Lady Pirates on Tuesday, Jan. 9 to remain undefeated in conference play. The Pirates are tied for third place with Siren with a 3-3 record. The game was close for most of the first half, and it was just a two-point contest at the break with the Saints leading 20-18 as the teams headed to the locker room. SCF cranked it up a notch the second half and outscored the Pirates 47-22 to take the 67-40 win. Olivia Brock led the charge for the Pirates with 11 points as she battled her way through the lane. She made seven of ten at the free throw line on the night. Olivia Ohnstad and Brooke Quimby were next on the list with nine points each. Janessa Bonneville chipped in five points with Linda Harmon adding three, Ericka Erickson had two and Cassidy Chenal went one for two from the charity stripe.

The Pirates are now 8-1 on the season and 4-1 in conference play after the win. Grantsburg took a commanding 33-10 fi rst half lead behind the sharp shooting of senior Joseph Ohnstad who hit four three-pointers on his way to a 14-point half. “They packed it in on us and our guards stepped up and hit some shots to open up their zone a little,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. Grantsburg’s stingy defense held the Saints to just 10 points again in the second half, while racking up 27 points themselves. “Our best defensive effort of the season,” Coach Hallberg added. Everyone got floor time and eight Pirates got into the scorebook this game with Ohnstad and John Chenal leading the charge with 14 points each for the night. Leo Chenal also hit double digits with 11 points. Austin Wedin hit two from behind the arc for six points, followed by Luke Anderson with five points.

Brian Gutekunst succeeds Ted Thompson as Packers GM GREEN BAY — Brian Gutekunst was promoted to general manager of the Green Bay Packers on Monday after working the last two seasons as the team’s player personnel director. He succeeds Ted Thompson, who is staying with the organization as a senior adviser. The Packers said Gutekunst will have complete control over all roster decisions, including the draft and free agency. The Packers went 7-9 in an injury-plagued season, finishing with a losing record and missing the play-

offs for the first time since 2008. Gutekunst has been with the organization for nearly two decades after being hired in 1998 by Hall of Famer Ron Wolf. The team also promoted Russ Ball to executive vice president/director of football operations. Ball has been the salary cap expert and chief contract negotiator as the team’s vice president of football administration/player finance. Team president Mark Murphy announced the pro-

motions, as well a change in organizational structure. Gutekunst, Ball and coach Mike McCarthy will all report directly to Murphy. “The process of identifying our next general manager gave us the opportunity to analyze our entire football operation,” Murphy said. “While we have enjoyed a lot of success, we need to improve.” He said the change will increase the “frequency of communication and collaboration. Ultimately, it will make the Packers better.”

Miami: Salty and Sweet or Naughty and Nice Winters in the Midwest are long, dark and bitterly cold, so when I was blessed with a vacation, I felt happy. I’ve been to Miami before, but I had forgotten many things about its unique culture. Unfortunately, Miami is not all sandy beaches, warmth and fun. Hours after we arrived, while ordering food at a restaurant we had a serious wakeup moment. My husband Wild Chow had his wallet stolen right out from under Lisa Erickson our noses. When I realized the wallet was gone, my instincts kicked in. My husband and I charged out of the

restaurant, leaving the rest of our family wondering what was going on. My husband ran out the right-hand door and I sprinted out the left. Across the parking lot I saw a car backing up and ran over to it. Looking in the window I recognized the man who had stolen the wallet because he was standing next to me in line. Like a crazy woman, I started pounding my fists on the window of his car, yelling at him to get out of the car and I would not leave until he gave me the wallet. Within seconds, people poured out of the restaurant, including the restaurant manager, surrounding the vehicle. In the end we got the wallet back, and carried on with our vacation, much more cautiously. Our youngest son was

very up set by the episode. Later that day we went into the heart of Miami, to help him see the good too. We succeeded—with food and shopping. We met many kind, good people. Miami is full of Cuban culture. Cuban food is amazing. Much of it is sweet and salty, which food science experts say is the perfect combination for our taste buds. There are many delicious choices, but for me this sandwich stands out. It reminds me of a Frisco sandwich, but better. I can have a little taste of Miami anytime I want.

The Great Exchange

Pastor George Selbher Grace Baptist Church

One of the most profound and enjoyable truths of the Christian faith is what we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Great Exchange.â&#x20AC;? The Apostle Paul states it like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For our sake He [God the Father] made Him [God the Son, Jesus Christ] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of Godâ&#x20AC;? (2 Corinthians 5:21). Stated another way, the Apostle Paul rightfully proclaims â&#x20AC;&#x153;For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty

might become richâ&#x20AC;? (2 Corinthians 8:9). The Good News message throughout all of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word is that although we â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by nature and by choice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; chose to sinfully rebel against God, He nonetheless chose to graciously offer us forgiveness and a new life in His son, Jesus Christ. Even though all of us had a clenched fist in the face of God, He still willingly sent Jesus to earth to die on our behalf so that we could simply believe by faith in Jesus Christ to be pardoned of our sin and become
