County seizes $15,000 $20,000 in meth JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– The Burnett County Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant on a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado on Jan. 18. The vehicle had been occupied by Diego Garza, 44, just before his arrest for a probation Diego Garza violation two days earlier. Inside the vehicle was a locked safe with a container that had 172.7 grams of methamphetamine along with an additional 25.03 grams in other containers.

The street value for this quantity of methamphetamine is estimated to be $15,000-$20,000. Deputies on the scene also seized a scale, plastic gem bags and other paraphernalia consistent with methamphetamine distribution and usage. During his arrest, Garza was violently resistant and attempted to escape. This resulted in two deputies being injured. Both deputies were treated and released from local hospitals and have returned to duty. In Wisconsin, possession of over 50 grams of meth is a class C felony. If convicted Garza faces up to 40 years in prison and a fine up to $100,000, or both. Garza remains in custody at the Burnett County Jail.

GRANTSBURG–– If you were to drive approximately 3,600 miles south, you would eventually end up in the center of Costa Rica in the San Jose province. After about 71 hours and

crossing four national borders. Sixteen Costa Rican students were in Grantsburg for 12 days and left on Monday. They attend Santa Ana High School just outside San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. The students range in age from 16 to 19, and all admitted they had never seen

snow before. “We’ve never seen anything like it before, and it was great,” said Maria Paula. “People up here told us that the winters up here last six months. That’s crazy.” The students explained that cold in Costa Rica means about 15 degrees Celsius, about 59 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s known as a cold day for these kids and they explained it was a fun surprise seeing snow. “On Monday during the storm we were outside playing in it; it was a lot of fun” said Sofia González. “We even got to go tubing the other day.” González added that the students went ice fishing on Little Wood Lake earlier in their visit. They caught two small fish, but she said it was better than nothing. “We’re from a tropical country,” Ivan Vastilla explained. “We will never see weather like this in our country.” SEE COSTA RICANS, PAGE 2

Northwest Passage plans gallery expansion JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

The Burnett County Sheriff’s Department seized almost 200 grams of methamphetamine with a single search warrant.

WEBSTER–– Northwest Passage has a cozy and moderately sized art gallery. It houses photography from places all over the county and even some from National Parks, like Yosemite. They are in the process of expanding their gallery to create an entire corridor of the work of the at-risk youth who provide the artwork.

Later this year they will celebrate their 40th anniversary in Burnett County. For the gallery it began in 2012 with an Otto Bremer grant that allowed the purchase of the building at the corner of Highway 35 and North Bass Lake Road in Webster. Their 2018 calendars are out and this year, they have the kids’ photograph on top with their reflection underneath. “Their reflection is them explaining what the piece means

to them,” said Development Director, Chanda Elliott. The month of January is a photograph of ice titled, “Pieces of Us” by Alexis. The reflection reads in part , “We are all missing parts. So how do we complete ourselves? We don’t, we cover up the pieces we are missing. Soon we make a puzzle, a beautiful puzzle.” It’s all part of the process at SEE NORTHWEST PASSAGE, PAGE 2

Northwest Passage of therapy through nature. “It’s a great form of therapy for them,” said Communications Director, Marceleen Mosher. “It’s being out in nature with that peacefulness all around and then writing the reflections, is just great for them.” Expansion “This expanded corridor is going to be real nice and will be a nice boost for the county,” Elliott said. “It’s going to be a great thing for the community and the kids. Right now we’re just trying to get the excitement started.” Elliott hopes to hold meetings and classes in the expanded area and set up a closer partnership with the community. “We’ve just met with the architects,” Elliot said. “So we’re still in the early stages, but we would love to have it open later this year.” Featured artists Elliott explained that Northwest Passage has recently been housing artists who have passed a great deal of advice and experience on to the kids. “We try to bring in artists every few months to establish a connection with the kids,” Elliott said. She explained recently they had Chris Lutter in for a short residency. “He makes these huge sculptures, and made puppets with the kids for the month,” Elliott said. She said that grants from the National Parks Service and other organizations are what make most of their programming possible. “We had Wallace Nichols up here to work with the kids too,” Elliott said. “He does a lot of underwater work.” Nichols wrote Bluemind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected,

and Better at What You Do. This coincided with the work the kids had been doing with underwater photography. Some of that photography is on loan to museums in the Twin Cities and some is at their gallery in Webster. Elliot and Mosher both expressed gratitude towards the National Parks Service for the grants they have provided that make it possible for the kids to travel. “These kids grew up with traumatic childhoods and limited resources,” Elliott said. “It’s a big deal for them to be able to take pictures at Yosemite and other beautiful national parks.” Elliot added it’s an opportunity that they would not have under most circumstances Housing facilities Northwest Passage consists of three different housing faculties for kids. Their assessment facility, in Frederic serves ages from six to 17 with 23 beds for boys and girls. This is where the interdisciplinary team gives residents a comprehensive diagnostic assessment with kids staying approximately four to six weeks. Prairieview in Frederic is where the girls are housed for intensive residential treatment for complex mental health issues and trauma backgrounds. The facility has 24 beds with girls generally staying six to eight months. Riverside in Webster is a similar facility for boys. They have 26 beds and the kids usually stay anywhere from eight to 12 months. They have over 200 staff members and over the summer will be bringing in all kinds of interns to work with the kids with video making, poetry and a plethora of other backgrounds. “These kids have been through a lot,” Mosher said. “They come from difficult situations and the services we can provide for them is incredibly important to all of us here.”

COSTA RICANS: Students visit Grantsburg CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Impression of school When the students were asked about Grantsburg High School they began giggling and saying it was like a movie. The school was like what they had seen in American high school movies. “It’s like High School Musical in here,” said Hillary Valverde. “It’s just so big and everything looks so new and nice.” The group of students went on to explain how there school was not as big even though they have the same amount, if not more students. “The size of the school is just incredible,” said Oreana Ramos. City vs. Rural San José is the capital, but it is also the largest city in Costa Rica with has a population of over 350,000 in the city and over 2 million in the entire metropolitan area. It’s a little less than half of the entire counties population of 4.8 million people. The students after leaving Grantsburg were headed to the Twin Cities to go shopping at the Mall of America. Coming from the capitol of Costa Rica they know city life, so the shift into wide open spaces was completely new for most of them. They talked about loving the forests and the big fields of snow, a sight completely unknown to those who live in Central America. Some of them even noted our National bird zooming around in the county. “It’s cool seeing the Bald eagle, your nation’s bird,” Vastilla said. “It’s something I wasn’t expecting and really enjoyed it.” In October while Central

America and the Caribbean were being hit by numerous hurricanes, these students said they were safe in the city. Hurricane Nate had Costa Rica on red alert for three days and estimates say it caused $185 million in damage, mostly to the country’s infrastructure. “We live in the city and most of the damage was done to the more rural parts of Costa Rica,” González said. “So we were mostly safe during the storms.” Food, mostly cheese “The cheese, there is so much of it and so many different kinds,” Paula said. “I’ve eaten a lot of it, and it is so good.” This was a popular opinion with most of the group that were sitting in the Grantsburg cafeteria last week. “The cheese here is delicious, I’m impressed with how much of it there is and how good it tastes,” González said. They noted the amount of cheese and the different varieties, as well as the su-

perlative taste that is something they do not get a lot of at home. “We eat a lot of rice and beans,” Jean Marco said. “We also eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s mostly all we eat. The food up here has more preservatives and is more processed.” Other students said that what they eat at home is more natural than what they have eaten so far on their visit. Some of the students said they know people who had traveled to the U.S. in the past, but most had never been here. A few said they have visited places like Florida and Texas. One student said she went to Connecticut a couple of years ago to visit her family, but for the majority this was a completely new setting and experience. The consensus was that even though it is cold and it’s not a city, the students agreed that the people in Grantsburg are genuinely very friendly.

Grantsburg students tried on traditional Costa Rican masks in the high school auditorium. The exchange students, from Santa Ana, gave in-depth presentaions on the culture and people of the tropical nation.

She radiates energy, flashes a brilliant smile and exudes confidence. That’s Tiffany Fesenmaier, the 2018 - 2019 president of the Burnett County Tourism Coalition(BCTC). She took the reins of BCTC last October. A native of Minnesota, Fesenmaier attended Northwestern College with studies in sociology and youth ministries and has a background in restaurant marketing and retail sales. Now she’s brought her energy, experience and skills to Danbury where she and partner, Linda Anderson, own a gift shop and embroidery business. “We’ve had a cabin in

Webb Lake for over 20 years. We decided that when we retire, we would retire up here. This store, formerly Homestead Embroidery and Gifts, was available for sale, and I thought, ‘you know, this would be a fun thing to do while I’m up here.’ So we bought it and renamed it ‘The Cabin Corner.’” Her career includes working for Texas Roadhouse, a national restaurant chain. It was a very people-oriented marketing strategy. She explained, “Texas Roadhouse doesn’t advertise. It’s about building relationships in the community, doing a lot of donations and benefits, bringing our food around to different stores.” Before that,

she worked in marketing for Carlson Travel Company. Building relationships is a core principle Fesenmaier returns to again and again. She wants BCTC to focus on building relationships with the people, companies and businesses in Burnett County. “One of the things I noticed when I got here was that there wasn’t much togetherness throughout the different businesses and companies in Burnett County.” She continued, “There seem to be a lot of different competitions in this small area instead of supporting one another. I thought, ‘that’s going to be a challenge SEE BCTC, PAGE 6

Singers from several area schools joined the SCSU Concert Choir in a day of rehearsal, followed by a concert that featured the music of Jake Runestad. Runestad, a Minneapolis based composer and clinician, is one of the youngest full-time composers in the world. His music is called “high-

ly imaginative” and “stirring and uplifting” and the GHS singers would definitely agree with those adjectives. Rehearsing and performing was both challenging and rewarding, and the singers were grateful for this experience. Grantsburg High School graduate Amber Pederson is a member of the SCSU Concert Choir and it was an added bonus to sing with a former classmate. Amber is a 2016 GHS grad and is studying music at SCSU.

Baseball Hall of Fame It was a decent week for the Brewers, signing Lorenzo Cain (who came up in the Milwaukee farm system, then traded to the Royals for Zach Greinke. So he won a World Series there and came back here, for about $80 million.) and making a trade with the Miami Marlins for Christian Yelich. I still think they need to fire Craig Counsell, but the roster is shaping up nicely for the 2018 season. What I want to talk about though is steroids. My thoughts have made a complete 180 degree turn since I first learned that my heroes were using performance enhancing substance or PEDs. As a kid I thought, of course, they should be thrown out of the game forever for cheating. History Lesson: Buck Ewing was a catcher from 1880-1897, he is in Sentinel the baseball HOF in Cooperstown. He caught with no glove. So acEditor cording to him all catchers could Jonathan Richie be considered using PEDs. I went back and learned the facts about the timeline of steroids in baseball. Like Associated Press writer, Steve Wilstein, wrote this in 1998, “Sitting on the top shelf of Mark McGwire’s locker, next to a can of Popeye spinach and packs of sugarless gum, is a brown bottle labeled Androstenedione.” Androstenedione is basically a steroid that boosts testosterone and a bunch of other science stuff that I don’t understand. Anyway, Wilstein was dragged through the mud by athletes, other writers and even the commissioner - Bud Selig (who should not be in the HOF, but made the sport an egregious amount of money in TV contracts, which is how stadiums can have 1,000 fans in attendance for every game and still turn a profit). How dare he question the greatness of our athletes by pointing out they’re use of PEDs? Fans will always be mad about steroid users in baseball. This sport has more statistics than almost anything else in the American lexicon. These fans all look stupid because they pride themselves on knowing when a pitcher’s elbow drops, his velocity is affected. Yet they didn’t realize that guys went from hitting 20 home runs to 60 home runs in a single season. Lastly, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron all admitted to using amphetamines during their careers. Whitey Ford used to cut the sleeve of the ball with his wedding ring to gouge the ball and getting an advantage with his breaking pitches. I understand how Barry Bonds, the greatest player I have ever seen play, saw Sammy Sosa and McGwire battling for the home run record and went to the pharmacy to prove that he was better than them. After all, most baseball players are seen as stats and not human because they get to make a living doing something we all would like to do for a living. Lastly, I still believe the Brewers need to Fire Craig Counsell. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Everything old is new again January is coming to a close. The days are getting longer, the winter sports seasons are coming to a close and if you breathe very deeply, you can almost smell a hint of spring. Yes, we are on the down side of winter and hopefully we won’t get clobbered for just mentioning spring. January is the start of the second season for network television. The shows that were launched in the fall that failed to catch on with viewers have been given the axe and the mid season replacements have been launched. With the ever expanding ways viewers have to watch television, the From the Publisher’s competition for viewers and advertising dollars has become more heated. Desk Network television executives, looking to hedge their bets on new series, Tom Stangl have looked to the past for what they ffeell are safe f b bets for the future. Now called “reboots” instead of “remakes,” network executives are taking shows from 30 and 40 years ago, changing a few items and hoping that old and new viewers will tune in. Last week CBS announced reboots of the 1980s hits “Magnum P.I.,” “Cagney and Lacey” as well as a revival of “Murphy Brown.” ABC has ordered a pilot for “The Greatest American Hero,” with an Indian American woman as the lead. ABC will air episodes of “Rosanne” in March with the original cast involved. NBC brought back the comedy “Will and Grace” this year and FOX is currently airing the second season of a revival of “The X Files.” Everything old is indeed new again. Buoyed by the success of some revivals, it is natural for networks to return to shows that were hits in the glory days of the 1970s and 1980s before cable television and the internet.

“Magnum P.I.” aired on CBS for eight years and starred Tom Selleck as an ex-Navy Seal working as a private investigator in Hawaii. Selleck became a star as the easygoing gumshoe. “Cagney and Lacey” starred Tyne Daley and Sharon Gless as New York City detectives. The reboots will be updated with Magnum as a returning Afghan war vet and Cagney and Lacey being set in Los Angeles instead of New York. No word if the original stars will be involved in the new productions. The lure of familiar success has a strong appeal for entertainment companies. It is not a new phenomena. When sound became the norm in Hollywood, silent movies of the past quickly become fodder for remakes. When color became the standard, old black and white epics were remade. Hollywood favorites were translated to the small screen as televisions began popping up in households across the nation. It’s all cyclical. Sometimes it works. When the 1978 ABC series “Battlestar Galactica” was rebooted in 2005, the new show changed a few items and remains a cult classic nearly 10 years after the last episode aired. CBS has enjoyed success with “Hawaii 5-0” and hopes that these new “old” shows will prove popular with viewers. I think I’m skeptical of these reboots because I was around for the originals. It’s OK to update and redo stories, but I think that sometimes it’s best to leave the past in the past. But I’m not a network programmer. I wonder if they will keep the “Magnum P.I.” theme… 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.

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Rural voters getting extra attention as next election looms WISPOLITICS.COM

Republicans at the Capitol are working hard to curry favor with rural voters in this election year. – There’s the recent proposal from Joint Finance Committee Co-Chair John Nygren, backed by Gov. Scott Walker, to pump more state money into small, rural schools and to allow low-spending districts to raise their caps. Along with pumping $6.7 million more into sparsity aid, it calls for allowing low-spending districts, now capped at spending $9,100 per year on students through a mix of property taxes and state aid, to up that limit to $9,400 in 2018-19. The cap would then increase $100 annually to $9,800 in 2022-23. – Walker also recently announced plans to annually invest $50 million in economic development projects in rural Wisconsin counties. The Rural Economic Development Fund would primarily be used to stimulate private investment, improve productivity and fill open jobs in rural communities, according to the administration. The program would be operated by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., which would distribute the funds through existing program and others created with legislative approval. The grants would be limited to counties with a population density of less than 155 people per square mile, which would include 56 of the state’s 72 counties. – And the Republican-run Assembly Rural Development and Mining Committee has approved a bill along party lines that aims to attract young people to rural counties through student loan reimbursements. The bill, AB 730, by Rep. Ed Brooks, R-Reedsburg, would require a person to have lived in another state for at least five years, and then immediately establish residence in a rural county for at least six months. It would provide up to $25,000 or 40 percent loan reimbursement to students for bachelor’s degrees and training programs. The bill does not require

students to graduate. Democrats criticized the bill for its targeting of out-of-state residents, which they claimed is unfair to Wisconsin residents struggling to pay off student loan debt. “I’m concerned about Wisconsin students staying in rural areas. They want to know why they aren’t getting their opportunity,” said Rep. Don Vruwink, D-Milton. Vruwink offered an amendment that failed along party lines that would have made Wisconsin students eligible for the reimbursements. Republicans on the committee disagree, arguing that the state needs to prioritize addressing the state’s declining birthrate. “Even if we keep all the students in the state now, it’s not enough to replace those that are going to be retiring,” said. Rep. Romaine Quinn, R-Barron. “This program targets people out of state to inject new blood, new talent, new families into our communities.” Brooks has been pitching the bill as a way to attract and keep talent to rural parts of the state. “[The] American population has been shifting away from rural areas to cities and suburbs,” Brooks said. “We need to find a way to maintain and grow our population. The bill 730 would create rural opportunity zones [that would] incentivize young people looking to relocate.” Brooks believes the program, which exists in Kansas, would not cost more than $100,000 in the first year. Some legislators on the committee, such as Democrat Katrina Shankland, earlier expressed concern over the bill’s narrow definition of rural that disqualifies 26 counties, including Marathon. Brooks said at the time he remains comfortable with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget definition, arguing that “we have to pick our boundaries.” The bill also drew ire from liberal political group One Wisconsin Now, which argued the bill “would do less than nothing” to address Wisconsin student loan debt.

extremely important issue. Rep. Adam Jarchow 28th Assembly District

To the Editor, As the Director of DSI, I have appreciated the outpouring of concern over anticipated changes in our industry and how they could impact the individuals with disabilities we serve. My goal with this letter is to help clarify what is occurring. First of all, DSI is not “closing.” Due to some rule changes at the Center for Medicaid Services (CMS), the types of services we will be offering will be different. What we do not know is when these rules may change. It could be as soon as January, 2019 or as late as January, 2022. Currently, DSI operates an “employment training program” for adults with disabilities. This is done in our facility in Siren along with a group that works inside the Parker Hannifin plant in Grantsburg. While the ultimate goal of this training is to assist individuals in learning the skills needed to work in a job within the community, many of the individuals we work with have barriers that limit their ability to compete for the jobs that are available. Also, given how rural our county is, the lack of transportation options is also a significant barrier. The new services we are in the process of building are all community based. One will be “Community Day Services” which has a goal of skill building, connecting individuals with disabilities to the community and helping them have a “meaningful day.” The other service is called “Community Pre-Vocational Services.” This service will help individuals explore what different jobs are out there while building on the skills to eventually obtain a job in the community. But, in order to achieve this, we will need the community to help us out. This may include finding places where our folks can volunteer to help expand their experiences. It will also include having them participate in classes that teach them the skills to navigate in the community safely and in a manner that follows our social norms. As society changes and puts more focus on integrating individuals with disabilities into the community, my hope is that the residents and businesses in Burnett County will open their doors and welcome us. DSI celebrated its 40th anniversary last year and we plan to be around for many, many years to come. Sincerely, Joe Wacek, M.S. Director

To the Editor, On January 17, 2018, Representative Nick Milroy (D-South Range) caved to animal special interest groups in Madison and voted not to recommend passage of a bill which would pressure Congress to delist the wolf from the Endangered Species List. Rep. Milroy has stood firm in his stance even though the species’ population in Wisconsin is nearly triple the recommended size. His vote against the recommendation, as part of the Committee on Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage showed Northern Wisconsin that their Representative has chosen to vote the party line over doing what is right for the people. When it comes to issues in Northwestern Wisconsin, I am never afraid to vote contrary to my party because the people’s voice comes first. Milroy’s 73rd Assembly District, according to DNR wolf monitoring, is a major hotbed of wolf predation within the state. Douglas County, nearly all of which Representative Milroy represents, has the largest number of confirmed wolf predations of any county in the state, accounting for over 20 percent of them! How can a representative of those most affected by wolf depredation not support legislation aimed solely at forcing Congress to take action to return wolf management back to Wisconsin? Admittedly, the bill takes drastic measures to achieve this goal. There is a broad, bipartisan consensus that the wolf should be delisted. Wisconsin’s congressional delegation has promised us that action will be taken to alleviate the population growth of the gray wolf in our state, but to no avail. Too long have we waited patiently for the wolf to be delisted, and Representative Milroy should know this all too well. That is why drastic measures are needed. With the exception of Milroy, every single representative from Northern Wisconsin voted to recommend passage. Milroy’s Democratic colleagues on the committee have an excuse for the way they voted: they are from Southeastern Wisconsin, have no interaction with wolves, and can therefore be easily persuaded by those in Madison who don’t know the extent of our situation. They don’t understand our needs and problems up north. However, to stand in the thick of wolf depredation territory and not be willing to take a hardline approach following promise after broken promise from Congress – well that is just irresponsible. I hope that the good folks in the 73rd Assembly District hold Rep. Milroy accountable for his inaction and lack of leadership on this

because of my background of working with building relationships.’ I said right from the beginning to my staff and colleagues that I want us to be a role model of supporting one another. Fesenmaier admits she has much to learn about tourism and BCTC, something she says she shares with area residents and business owners. “At first, I didn’t know a lot about it. I think that’s one of the big issues concerning BCTC; many businesses and people in this area don’t know what the tourism group is about. They don’t know how it can benefit them. Now that I’m learning more and more, I’m amazed at what BCTC does have to offer. “As a business owner, I want to be a part of that to increase the [tourism] business in this area. The only way we can do that is by getting out there, meeting people, and letting people know who we are, what we are about, and how we are going to benefit them as a business, cabin owner, or somebody who’s just visiting. How is BCTC going to be beneficial to you?” she said. To that end, Fesenmaier’s first goal is to become informed, so she will attend the Wisconsin Governor’s Conference on Tourism March 11-13 in Appleton. She said, “I can’t be a leader without being informed.” Her second goal is to educate the community about BCTC, “who we are, what we do and what businesses can do to in-

crease tourism here. I want people to know how the area benefits from having BCTC. Those are the goals I want to accomplish.” When asked what the number one thing businesses and people can do to generate return visits she was emphatic: “The number one thing any company or business can do is build relationships: within your community, with the people who come to your business, with people who visit, with business owners. “When people come into my store, my first and most important thing is to build relationships, because they’re only coming back

because of that. Otherwise, I won’t have people talking about that my store was a great place to be. For me, that is the key to any successful business.” As Fesenmaier prepares to open The Cabin Corner in spring, she’ll also lead BCTC forward to accomplish the goals she’s set. “I’m just really excited about BCTC, the people who are on the board now, and what the next two years hold for us: watching us grow and develop, bringing new energy to the group.” She welcomes anyone interested in being active with BCTC.

Colburn declined to make any statement during the sentencing, but when Mogen told her the electronic monitoring system would allow her to go out and seek treatment, she indicated she would be attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Other charges were operating while revoked, ignition interlock device tampering or failure to install, and operating with a prohibited blood alcohol content (PAC). These were dismissed, but read in by the court. “Good luck Mrs. Colburn,” Mogen said. “Sobriety is difficult, but you are succeeding.”

GOVERNMENT CENTER – Guadalupe Colburn, 61, Grantsburg was sentenced to 150 days in jail after she pleaded guilty to operating while intoxicated (OWI) 4th offense, a class H felony. She was granted house arrest through the county electronic home monitoring system. Colburn She was also ordered to pay $3,274 in fines, go through an Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) assessment and follow up on all recommendations, her driver’s license will be revoked for 27 months and an ignition interlock device has to be installed in any vehicle she will be driving over the next 27 months. Colburn’s attorney, David Grindell explained to the Judge Melissia Mogen that she has gone through and completed the Intoxicated Driver Intervention Program (IDIP) and has remained employed at the same company for almost 20 years. Mogen said she was unaware that Colburn had completed IDIP. She explained that the program works so people with the biggest problems are helped the most. “The program is

designed for people with a serious problem to benefit most from it,” Judge Mogen said. “She sought out the program,” Grindell said. “In an effort to help resolve this problem and she completed it with no problems.” Grindell said due to Colburn’s employment status and the county’s lack of Huber work release for the county jail, that she should serve her sentence on house arrest with an electronic home monitoring system. “Now how that works, with the home monitoring, is a person is granted electric monitoring they pay for it themselves,” Mogen explained.

He was sentenced to six months in jail, three years probation and ordered to pay $2,172 in restitution. During the sentencing Baker’s attorney, Kate Murtaugh, said Baker struggles with his sobriety. “He was sober for over a year before he had a relapse in August and we all seem to know what happened next,” she explained. “I think if he could maintain his sobriety, he could be a productive member of society.” Murtaugh will be representing Baker in this case, as well. Also at that sentencing, Baker made a brief statement to the court. “I’m sorry for my actions,” he said simply. “I’m sure there are some deep-rooted issues at play here — my life has been a roller-coaster.”

State of the State Address Governor Scott Walker delivered his 2018 State of the State Address last Wednesday. Listed below are a few excerpts from the speech: In Wisconsin, employment is at historic highs and unemployment at historic lows. We invested more actual dollars into schools than ever before in our history. The state property tax is gone. Wisconsin received a bond rating upgrade from three national agencies. Our health care systems are ranked number one in the nation for quality. And we announced the largest economic development project in state history. It has been an amazing year, a historic year. We are getting positive things done for the people of Wisconsin.

AN AMBITIOUS AGENDA FOR 2018: THESE ARE WISCONSIN ISSUES Education Today, we have made the largest investment of actual dollars in K-12 ed-

ucation in history - an increase of $200 for every student in every school across the state this year and a $204 increase on top of that next year. Plus, we gave schools extra resources to cover transportation costs, to add mental health services, and to put new technology in the classroom. A good school equals a great life, and we have some of the best schools in the country. We will build off of our historic investments into K-12 education. Looking ahead, we need to continue to help rural schools keep more money in the classroom. Many of these schools have unique needs related to transportation and to the size of the district. I want to ensure educational excellence everywhere. With that in mind, we have a plan that will increase Sparsity Aid and help out low revenue school districts. Welfare Reform We want able-bodied, working age adults to work at least 30 hours a week or enroll in job training to get assis-

tance. We want to expand welfare reform statewide. And we want to ensure that everyone getting public assistance can pass a drug test. If someone fails, we set aside resources to get them into rehabilitation because we understand that if we get them healthy, we can find a job for anyone in the state. Since we started requiring employment and worker training, more than 25,000 people have gained employment. With more people working than ever before, we cannot afford to have anyone on the sidelines. Health Care Our citizens are crying out for a stable health care system. Washington has failed to act, so it is time for us to lead in Wisconsin. That is why, today, I propose the Health Care Stability Plan. The biggest concern I hear about is from those who are worried about pre-existing conditions. With that in mind, I propose that we enact a law in Wisconsin that will guarantee coverage

of pre-existing conditions. That way someone who has cancer or another serious disease or ailment will not have to worry about obtaining or keeping coverage. Since it was first approved in 2002, the state has asked for an extension of SeniorCare four times. It is time to make this a permanent and stable program. For the small number of people who seek coverage through the individual market, and not through their employer or through Medicaid or Medicare, I propose that the state provide assistance to keep those premiums from making health care coverage unreachable for many of our fellow citizens. Moving Wisconsin Forward: We’re Not Done Yet I am proud that we are getting positive things done for the people of Wisconsin. But we’re not done yet. So, let’s get going. Let’s keep working together. Let’s keep moving Wisconsin forward.

Siren or bust, a snowmobile tradition keeps on trekking DEBRA NEUTKENS

A snowmobile club co-founded by a couple of White Bear Lake guys is celebrating a golden milestone this month: 50 years. Since 1968, club members, all male, have embarked on a January ride to Siren. It started when three local men fused their enthusiasm for the sport with their business acumen to form a club called Pizza, Holiday House, Race Association or PHRA for short. It’s billed as the oldest active snowmobile club in Minnesota, maybe the world. The trio of founders included Dave Olson, owner of Dave’s Pizza on Highway 61 and Third Street in White Bear Lake; Rudy Dreiling (deceased), who owned the Holiday House and White Bear Bowl, and Shoreview resident Don Heningfield (deceased). Current club chairman Chad Lehrke, of Lino Lakes, said the PHRA name is a bit of a misnomer since the annual winter

event is a rally, not a race. Lehrke grew up in Vadnais Heights and credits his dad Ron Lehrke for getting him started in the PHRA. The younger Lehrke has been a member since 1995, but is not this year’s longest active member riding in the rally. That honor goes to John Pole, a retired dentist from Cottage Grove, who has a penchant for old Chris-Craft boats and old cars. Pole has a 1974 patch that signifies his first year on the 100-mile ride. He also wears bib No. 5, making him one of the few remaining members with a single digit number. Members earn their bibs by passing a rookie ritual their first year. One of the club’s many time-honored traditions directed at rookies includes taking a 1973 Polaris Colt on and off the trailer at every “rest stop.” (There are always support drivers hauling a trailer in case of breakdowns. Someone always breaks down.) Rookies also guard a giant PHRA whistle that serves as a

John Pole’s bib includes his ﬁrstyear patch earned in 1974. He doesn’t ride much anymore but made an exception for the 50th anniversary.

mascot. Lehrke explained that if anyone kicks the five-foot wooden whistle, and they do for whatever reason, a $2 fine is imposed. He couldn’t remember why rookies guard the vaunted whistle, but no matter. They can’t abandon their duties either, or they face a fine. In fact, small fines are imposed for just about any slight

infraction, all in fun, of course. The money supports the “extra stuff we do,” Lehrke said. Last year a member actually proposed to his girlfriend at the club’s Thursday night banquet prior to the ride. “He got fined for interrupting,” Lehrke recalled. Members sponsor rookies, who must ride in costume, according to club tradition. “Rookie of the Year” is an honor bestowed at the Saturday night banquet in Siren. One year Greg McCullough of Hugo won Rookie of the Year dressed as a cheerleader. His costume was such a fan favorite that it resides among the club’s treasured archives, along with Dreiling’s racing jacket and a pink tutu worn by Dave Garceau, owner of Garceau’s Hardware and Power Sports in Vadnais Heights (deceased). He had a pink helmet to match. Lehrke put the word out to veteran riders this year to gather for the 50th anniversary. He’s keeping his fingers crossed the old-timers show

to share stories. Member Pole is going to receive a lifetime achievement award. PHRA members have ridden in 30-below temperatures (1972) and more than one blizzard. One particularly bad storm occurred in 1974 that closed Wisconsin’s Highway 35. The snowmobilers rode six abreast down the two-lane roadway from Luck to Siren. “Anything that can go wrong, has gone wrong,” Lehrke noted. “People have run out of gas and bumped into trees; sleds won’t start or skis fall off.” Snow cover is crucial, of course. When trails lack the necessary white stuff, stalwart members drive rather than cancel the rally. The last few years, snow has been particularly sparse the weekend of the ride. According to Lehrke, there are probably a half dozen guys who have yet to snowmobile to Siren. “But they’ve stuck it out,” he said. “It shows the camaraderie. I think the PHRA will continue for many years to come.”

DivorceCare to meet at New Hope Reading readiness SUBMITTED BY: BETH RANK, BURNETT COUNTY UW-EXTENSION 4-H YOUTH & FAMILY EDUCATOR

What preschoolers know before they enter kindergarten is strongly related to how easily they learn to read. They should be able to recognize and name the letters of the alphabet, be aware of sounds in words, rhyme, and have knowledge about how to look at a book. Preschoolers are able to tell stories, have a conversation, and begin to scribble their name. However, current research suggests that some children may not be having the early learning experiences they need to become successful readers. As a child’s first teacher, there are activities parents can do at home that will increase early reading and writing skills. Of all these activities, reading aloud is the most important. This can be as easy as five minutes at a time. Here are some ideas to increase reading readiness of preschoolers: •

• • • • •

Link reading with real-life experiences. Invite children to help you read a recipe while you cook. To make reading more fun, use different voices for each character. Focus attention on what you are reading by pointing to words and pictures as you read. If you think your child is losing interest, try to read faster or exaggerate sounds. Make a trip to the public library an adventure. Send positive messages about the joy of reading. Your excitement about reading will be contagious.

Early reading skills in preschool help children achieve greater success in later school years. The process of learning to read involves many different complex skills. Preschoolers learn best when they are doing something that is important and fun to them. To learn more about parenting your preschooler check out the online Parenting the Preschooler newsletters at https://fyi.uwex. edu/parentingthepreschooler/. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

DivorceCare, a divorce recovery seminar and support group, will meet at New Hope Lutheran Church, 685 W State Rd 70, Grantsburg, for a new session beginning on Monday evenings, Feb. 5, 6 - 8 p.m. The group will meet every Monday evening at that time, with each class being given in a 13-week installment.

How your income might be affecting your Medicare premiums BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

If you are on Medicare, and you have higher income, you may have to pay higher monthly premiums for your Part B and Medicare prescription drug coverage. These higher premiums are called Income-Related Monthly Adjusted Amount (IRMAA). Fewer than five percent of people with Medicare will pay IRMAA, so most people are not affected. Whether you have to pay an IRMAA depends on your tax filing status and yearly income from two years ago. That means that in 2018, your IRMAA will be based on your 2016 tax return, as shown in the chart to the right. If you believe that your IRMAA is wrong, the Social Security Administration (SSA)

to a natural disaster, disease, fraud, or other circumstances; •Loss of pension; and •Receipt of settlement payment from a current or former employer due to the employer’s closure or bankruptcy.

You may also ask SSA to recalculate your IRMAA if you filed an amended tax return, if the IRS provided incorrect income information to SSA, or if there is a more recent tax return available. If any of these situations apply to you, contact an Elder Benefit Specialist as soon as possible. You will need to show proof that a life-changing event occurred. For example, if you recently got married, you should be prepared to show your marriage certificate. If SSA finds that your IRMAA was incorrect, you will be refunded for any higher premiums that were already paid (the difference between the IRMAA premium and the standard premium amount).

Diabetes and Medicare BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 30.2 million adults have diabetes. This represents 12.2 percent of all U.S. adults, and the percent increases with age. In fact, 25.2 percent of those 65 years or older have diabetes. Diabetes causes too much sugar to stay in the blood. If not properly treated, diabetes causes serious complications. These complications include heart disease, nerve damage, blindness, kidney disease, gum disease, hearing loss, and pain and burning or loss of feeling in your feet. This shows that diabetes can impact any part of your body. Besides these complications, new research estimates that diabetes and its complications cause 12 percent of all deaths, making diabetes the third leading cause of U.S. deaths. The good news is that people with diabetes can prevent complications and death. Medicare covers supplies and services to treat or prevent diabetes-related problems. What Medicare Part B may cover: •The fasting blood glucose test. This test screens for diabetes. Medicare covers two blood glucose tests each year for those at high risk for diabetes. •Supplies to control diabetes. These include blood sugar testing monitors, blood sugar test strips, lancet devices and lancets, and blood sugar control solutions.

•An external insulin pump and the insulin used by the pump. •A foot exam every six months, provided you have not seen a foot care professional for another reason between visits. •Therapeutic shoes for diabetics who need special footwear. •Medical nutrition therapy for diabetes, if referred by a doctor. •Self-management training. Medicare covers up to ten hours of initial diabetes self-management training. You may also receive up to two hours of follow-up training each year. The follow-up training may not occur in a calendar year in which you got your initial training. The training includes tips for eating healthy, being active, monitoring blood sugar, taking drugs, and reducing risks. You must have a health-care professional’s written order for the diabetes training. What Medicare Part D may cover: •Insulin not given through an insulin pump. •Certain medical supplies to administer the insulin. Supplies may include syringes, needles, alcohol swabs, gauzes, and inhaled insulin devices. To learn more about Medicare’s coverage of supplies and services for diabetics visit https://www.medicare.gov/ Pubs/pdf/11022-Medicare-Diabetes-Coverage.pdf. This provides information on what diabetics pay when Medicare covers the needed supplies and services.

ADRC Surveys and Feedback

of the house to enjoy some good conversation or someone who needs transportation to run errands, please let them know about the ADRC Van! It is only $1 per day trip and is wheel chair accessible. Don’t forget that we still operate a medical transportation program, helping older adults and adults living with disabilities get to and from their local and out-of-area medical appointments. This service is provided by volunteers that use their own vehicles. We know there are not enough transportation options available for all; however, did you know there are about 12 local agencies that provide some sort of transportation program or service? Check out the “Transportation” page on our website at www.adrcnwwi. org or give us a call to learn about these other options—maybe one is just what you need! Isolation not only can happen due to lack of transportation. But it also can become a problem when you lose the person you always went out and about with, and now you feel like you have no one to go with. Invite, invite, invite! Going someplace new is a lot less intimidating when you can go with someone you know. Reach out to an old friend and invite them to the local senior center, congregate dining site, or to go on the ADRC Van to enjoy one of our scheduled day trips. Another area of concern is falling and fall prevention. What an important topic that is. The good news is, the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin provides a seven-week workshop covering all areas of fall prevention, called Stepping On. Workshops for the spring season will be scheduled soon — keep an eye on The Voice and/or our website to find out where and when they will be held. Exercise programs/classes (important to a good fall prevention program and healthy living in general) was also brought up. St. Croix Regional Medical Center provides Steady as You Go exercise classes at the following

Hello Readers! As we continue on this information/feedback seeking quest, we thank you for the feedback you’ve provided thus far and encourage you to continue providing your thoughts each month. Again, the feedback you provide will help us narrow in on and decide goals for our agency to include in our 2019-2021 Aging Plan. Starting in April, we plan to hold focus group sessions throughout our service area. This is another opportunity for you to give feedback and for us to explore that feedback in a little more detailed through questions and discussion. Anyone who is aging (60 years of age or older), who cares for someone who is aging or serves someone who is aging can take part in these focus groups. Please call us at 877-485-2372, stop in at one of our offices or email us at adrc@co.polk.wi.us if you are interested in participating in one of the focus group sessions. Specific dates and locations have yet to be scheduled—so stay tuned! We plan to continue highlighting services available according to feedback we’ve received in the surveys. We know that many of these services may need to be expanded upon to be accessible to everyone so if we are addressing a suggestion you made, please note that we don’t know where you live and we don’t know your specific situation or whether you are aware of our services. But just in case you don’t already know about them and they could help you, we must take advantage of this opportunity to spread the word. Last month, we talked about the ADRC Van Program that is available to help people get out and about in the community to and from local and out of area events. Isolation and accessible transportation are continuing to be a common concern expressed on the surveys. And rightfully so. If you know someone who is isolated and needs to get out

Medicare hospice beneﬁts BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Hospice care focuses on comfort, symptom control, and pain relief for patients with a life-limiting illness. Services provided by the hospice team relate to caring for the individual, rather than curing a condition or disease. Support is available to the patient as well as family members and caregivers. A person is eligible for hospice benefits under Medicare if he or she has a life expectancy of six months or less, as certified by a doctor. The person must also be enrolled in Medicare Part A to be eligible for hospice benefits paid by Medicare. The election into hospice is not required — it’s entirely optional — and requires an affirmative election in writing signed by the patient. By electing into hospice, a patient acknowledges that Medicare will no longer cover treatment or medications intended to cure the person’s terminal illness and related conditions. A person can remain in hospice longer than six months if his or her medical provider recertifies that the person remains terminally ill. Likewise, a person can opt-out of hospice at any time. If a person’s health improves, or an illness goes into remission, the person may no longer need hospice care. The Medicare hospice benefit includes a comprehensive care team consisting of a doctor, nurse, social worker, physical and occupational therapists, counselors, hospice aides,

chaplains, and volunteers. Other covered hospice benefits include 24/7 crisis response, respite care, durable medical equipment and supplies, prescription drugs for symptom control and pain relief, and grief counseling for family members and care-givers after a person passes away. A person’s hospice team will work with the person to set up a plan of care to ensure all of the person’s needs are met. Out-of-pocket costs under hospice care are low. The Medicare Part A deductible does not apply to hospice benefits and services. A person enrolled in hospice pays five percent coinsurance on medications up to a maximum of $5 per drug, and five percent coinsurance for short-term inpatient respite care. If a person enrolled in hospice chooses to receive care or treatment for health problems that are not related to the terminal illness, that would still be covered under Original Medicare and deductibles and coinsurance would apply. Hospice care is generally provided in a person’s home. Room and board is not a covered benefit under hospice. A person who requires inpatient care in a nursing home or other care setting needs to private pay or apply for Medicaid. An exception to this rule is the five-day caregiver respite benefit, which provides inpatient care on an occasional basis. Hospital inpatient stays, emergency room visits, and ambulance transportation are typically not covered under

hospice. The only way to get Medicare coverage for these services is if they are written into the person’s hospice plan of care and arranged by the hospice provider. For example, if a person’s pain cannot be managed in their home setting, the hospice plan of care could include an overnight stay in a hospital so that medical professionals can utilize more intensive interventions to better control or minimize pain.

and pain management. If a person broke an arm or developed a urinary tract infection, that person may need medical treatment that is unrelated to the terminal condition. In that case, Original Medicare would provide coverage, but it would be subject to the standard deductibles and coinsurance under Original Medicare. For example, Part B would cover outpatient services under the 80/20 percent coinsurance structure. A Medicare supple-

Medicare hospice beneﬁt FAQ’s Q: Because hospice benefits are covered under Medicare Part A, should I drop Medicare Part B and D and my supplement policy after electing into hospice? A: It is advantageous to keep Part B, Part D, and a Medicare supplement policy in place, even if a person is on hospice. Hospice only pays for care and services related to the terminal illness, including comfort care

ment would cover the remaining 20 percent. In addition, a Medicare supplement will cover the five percent coinsurance for hospice-covered drugs and respite care. Finally, if a person drops Medicare Part B, but then recovers from his or her illness and is not recertified for continuing hospice benefits, that person would have to wait until the Medicare General Enrollment Period (January through March each

year) to enroll in Medicare Part B. That person’s Part B would then start the following July, which means a person may go up to 16 months without Part B. Q: How should I select a hospice provider? A: First and foremost, ask if the hospice provider is Medicare-approved. If the provider is not Medicare-approved, then Medicare will not cover the services and benefits received. It may be helpful to know whether the doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners are certified in palliative care. Caregivers may want to know what the provider’s arrangements are for inpatient respite stays — does the hospice provider have its own facility or an arrangement with a nearby facility? How fast is the crisis response? Word of mouth may also provide insight into prior experiences with that agency. Q: If a person elects hospice, does he/she have to change doctors? A: No. Usually a person can keep his or her same doctor after electing into hospice. Q: Should a person only opt into hospice in the last few days of their life? A: No. Hospice provides a wide range of services to the patient, family, and caregivers, all of which are available within the last six months of a person’s life expectancy. The sooner hospice gets involved, the more help they are able to provide. Most people state that they wish they had involved hospice sooner.

locations: St Croix Hospital Riverbend Conference Room, Unity Clinic, Larsen Family Public Library in Webster, and the Luck Library. Steady as You Go is a class/program built specifically for older adults and includes a warm up and cool down and strength, cardio and balance exercises. Also worth checking out is your local exercise facility—many offer classes specifically for older adults. In addition, if cost to attend a facility is an issue, check with your insurance company to see if they offer any financial incentive—discounts on a membership or classes— for attendance. Last but certainly not least, food and grocery delivery were mentioned more than once on the surveys as concerns and suggestions. There are a few local grocery stores that do deliver — and

some may not offer this as an advertised service but they are willing to help on a case by case basis. Never be scared to ask! If this isn’t an option and you can’t get out to get groceries, the ADRC Home Delivered Meal program might be an option for you as well. Give us a call for more information at 877-485-2372.

Pirates take control of conference with win over Tigers BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—Two West Lakeland powerhouses met up on Tuesday, Jan. 23 to battle it out for control of the conference. Both Grantsburg and Webster came into the game with just one loss on the season and tied for the top spot in the conference standings at 5-1. The Pirates’ only loss was to the Tigers back in early December, and Webster’s only loss came at the hands of the Unity Eagles. When the dust settled in this highly-contested battle, the Pirates came away with a 56-53 victory to take sole ownership of first place in the West Lakeland Conference. “There are many things we could’ve done better in this game, but when you play conference basketball and get a win, you have to take it,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “Webster made us do a few things a little differently at times, but our guys adjusted fine.” The Tigers got on the board first with a three-pointer by Coleton Peterson. The Pirates’ 1-3-1 defense caused the Tigers a few headaches with their offensive rhythm and the Pirates were able to pick off some passes, forcing turnovers. But Webster’s three-point shooting kept them in the game as they hit four of them in the first half alone. Jack Washburn hit a big three to tie the game at 21-21 with 3:45 left in the first half, but Grantsburg answered with a three-point play the old fashioned way when John Chenal drove to

the basket for a lay-up, was fouled and sent to the free throw line to complete the three-point play. From there, the Pirates went on a 6-0 run to go up 30-21 before Trevor Gustafson was fouled at the buzzer. He made both free throws to bring the Tigers within seven at the break, 30-23. The Tigers outscored the Pirates 30-26 in the second half, but it was too little too late. Everytime the Pirates would go on a run, the Tigers would answer back with a run of their own. “I thought we executed well enough to win the game,” Tigers coach Rob Scherrer said. “When it came down to making timely shots, it just didn’t happen.” The Pirates had a four-point lead with 41 seconds left in the game, and had their chances to seal the win at the free throw line but struggled to hit those shots when they needed them most. Webster’s Carson Stenberg hit a big shot from behind the arc with 14.3 seconds to go to bring the Tigers within two points at 52-54. The rest of the game would be decided from the charity stripe, and despite the Pirates only making three out of 10 free throws in the last minute of the game, they were able to hold on for the win. Leo Chenal may have saved the game for the Pirates when he skyed over Trevor Gustafson for a huge rebound on a missed free throw to retain possession for the Pirates with just 3.1 seconds to go. They made one of two from the SEE PIRATES ON PAGE 18

Northwoods Gymnastics Team The Northwoods Gymnastics Team for the 2017-2018 season consists of students from area schools. Madison Chenal, Morgan Johnson, Kennedy Rand and Cassidy Buchanan are from Webster schools and Kairi Yang, Jenasis Yang and Annabelle Benson from Siren schools. Rounding out the team are Kenna Chenal from Frederic and Ripplee Dunlarvey from Shell Lake. Our season began in November with a meet in Clear Lake, although we took 3rd place it was a great first meet for five of our competitors who all placed on an event. At the Woodbury meet, Madison Chenal and Kenna Chenal both placed first in the All Around competition in their age division. In January, we competed in Watertown, MN and took home first place. Our season continues with a meet coming up in Minnetonka, Cottage Grove and Grantsburg. As we prepare new gymnasts for the team we have added three little cuties to our Rising Stars Program, they are MaKenna Stuart, Maple Popham, and Brielle Chenal.

Vikinged

Dear Packer fans, A couple weeks ago I may or may not have written a column that passive-aggressively tried to dagger you. Upon further review, I may have been a bit premature with my zeal. After an incredibly high moment in my football fanatic life, I was Vikinged again. Yes, it’s now a verb. To be Vikinged means to have your hopes raised to a frenzied pitch only to have your heart torn from you, thrown in the garbage, started on fi re and then shot with icicles that have formed inside a septic system. It’s happened often. I don’t know why I was brazen enough to think it wouldn’t happen again. While I don’t think an apology is necessary, I do think an honest, public reflection of my life is in order. We all know the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In most things, I am not crazy. I’m not crazy at home or in my business. I’m not crazy with friends or family. I’m not crazy during baseball season, or basketball season or whatever other sport or team I cheer for. But these Vikings. Man, why can’t I step off the crazy train with those guys? Why do I always get sucked in? Why am I always buying hope? It’s already started, for the love of Pete Johnson. Ooh… maybe Drew Brees will come to Minnesota. Ooh… maybe Kirk Cousins will wear purple next year… I’d like that! Vikings owner Zygi Wilf tickled my ears with his words saying “…and one day soon, we will get to the Lombardi”, and, “…you look at the future and you realize that we’re at the top of the game and we’ll be knocking at the door many times.” Oh my gosh, I believe you Zygi. I really do. What the heck is wrong with me!?! Why can’t I stop the crazy cycle? I don’t think I’d have to stop being a fan, just stopping thinking this is the year, the pieces are in place, and we’ll be knocking on the door many times. I don’t want to buy hope, it just happens. Just like I don’t want to eat this entire bag of milk chocolate and caramel drizzled popcorn that’s sitting in front of me, but you know how THAT story ends. Packer fans, thank you for letting me vent. Though the barbs back and forth can get irritating at times on both sides, I’m never in fear of having a full can of wobbly pop thrown at me. First, I know how much you value full cans of your favorite beverage, and second, I know that you would never take that road what with the whole criminality of it and all. I see us as friendly combatants, buddies who like to rib one another. Not break one another’s ribs. Fine line, I guess. As you may know my bitterness has moved onto the Philadelphia Phiasco. I’m pretty sure I’m still in the anger stage of my grief. I’m mad at Philadelphia, I’m mad at my dad for hosting the game instead of back at my house where we were when the “miracle” happened. I’m mad at the grocery store for being out of cocktail wein… Lil’ Smokies. I’m mad at Stacy Coy at the Sentinel for letting me publish that incredibly snarky, pretentious, and condescending column a couple weeks ago. I’m mad at myself mostly for being a crazy fan. I guess being mad and crazy are essentially the same thing, so maybe it isn’t a stage of grief after all. So, from here on out I need to decide if I’m going to continue to attempt to rid myself of the craziness, or just embrace it once and for all. I think I’ll probably go with the latter. And a bag of milk chocolate and caramel drizzled popcorn, please. Packer fans, thanks for bearing with me and not burying a beer in the back of my head. Thanks for being there when I spiked the football at the one-yard line. Thanks for all the love notes you all shared en masse as the game last Sunday went on and on. You were there to help remind me that, as always, my team Vikinged me again. Yours in fandom, Under control SKOL Troll

‘That isn’t how it is scored’ BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—“If you look at actual matches wrestled, we won four to three, but that isn’t how it is scored,” commented Coach Chris Bartlett of the Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling team after the loss to Clear Lake 60-18 last Thursday. “What was fun about last night was we had a couple rematches from earlier in the year where we were up early and lost the match. Nolan (Johnson) and Hunter (Sellent) were able to get revenge on their opponent from the loss they had earlier. Landyn) Johnson came up short in his bid.” “Nolan’s match was close, but the match of the night was at 170. They (Brad Lucas, LFGS, and James Williams, Clear Lake) went back and forth

the entire match.” “At the end of the match, Brad was up 20-13 with roughly 20 seconds to go. Just like the entire match, in the final seconds, someone was put on their back. Unfortunately, it was Brad and with .2 seconds left, the opponent got the fall. It was close enough to where the ref had to talk with the table to see if the time had run out or not. It was a wild match.” Mikel Louis and Nolan Johnson won by decisions. Hunter Sellent and Dominic Caroon won by pinfall. Ben Berglund, Landyn Johnson and Brad Lucas were victims of pinfalls. Clear Lake won by forfeit seven times. After wrestling against Flambeau on Tuesday, the Conference Tournament is Saturday at Cameron. Starting time is 9 a.m.

Blizzard ﬁnding wins hard to get BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Burnett Blizzard boys hockey team is finding that winning is hard to get this season. The effort is there, but the results aren’t. Burnett lost twice last week, first to Amery on Tuesday by a 9-1 score and then on Saturday by a 10-3 margin. Against Amery, the Blizzard were tough in period one as they trailed only 2-1 at the first intermission. Amery scored first at 2:53, but the Blizzard knotted the score at one on a goal by Jase Quimby, assisted by Dawson Van Meter and David Doty. Amery tacked on a goal later and the period ended at 2-1 for Amery. Unfortunately, that was all the scoring that Burnett was going to have for the remainder of the game. Amery put four goals across in period two and three more in period three. Amery out-shot Burnett 17-7 in period one, but the Blizzard put 12 on the Amery goalie

SUBMITTED

in period two, before getting shut down in the last frame 19-7. Both Burnett goalies, Thorne Carter and Caleb Johnson, saw action in this game. Carter was 12-14 in the save department with Johnson going 33-40. The game was clean as the Blizzard had only three penalties for six minutes and Amery two penalties for four minutes. BLACK RIVER FALLS DEFEATS BLIZZARD The Black River Falls Tigers put six goals in

during the first period and went on to win the games versus the Blizzard 10-3. The Tigers went up 3-0 before the Blizzard answered with a goal by Tanner Van Meter, assisted by David Doty. BRF got two more before Van Meter got his second goal. This one has assists going to Doty and Dawson Van Meter. The Tigers maintained a 6-2 lead after one period of play. In period two, BRF scored the first three goals. The Blizzard finished the period in

scoring. Tanner got his hat trick with an assist going to Dawson Van Meter. BRF got the only goal in the third frame. Shots on goal were nearly the same as BRF had 34 to the Blizzard’s 33. Penalties on the Blizzard were six for 15 minutes contrasted to BRFs’ four for eight minutes. The Blizzard go to Ashland on Saturday for a 3 p.m. game and host Barron next Tuesday in Grantsburg in a 7 p.m. matchup.

line to give them a three-point lead. The Tigers had one last chance to tie the game and send it in to overtime, and they put the ball in the hands of super-shooter Stenberg, but Grantsburg’s Austin Wedin was able to disrupt Stenberg enough that he was unable to get a shot off in time. “When two good teams play each other, it usually comes down to making plays,” Webster’s Scherrer said. “Grantsburg made more plays than we did. I thought our guys were ready to play and put together a pretty good game.” The Tigers had three players in double digits— leading the way was Washburn with 17 points, followed by Stenberg with 12 and Trevor Gustafson with 10. Coleton Peterson hit three from downtown for nine points on the night. Hunter Gustafson tallied three points and Austin Moser added two to

round out the scoring. “I am proud of my men. We have seen our share of adversity this season. My guys haven’t blinked an eye and have kept moving forward,” Scherrer noted. “This says a lot about their character and determination.” For the Pirates, in was John Chenal with 19 points to lead all scorers. Joseph Ohnstad and Tyrell Brande had 13 points each, followed by Leo Chenal with six and Luke Anderson with five. “I felt like we didn’t do a very good job of finishing at the rim, and we have to nail those free throws. In the end, I’m proud of these guys for gutting this one out,” Hallberg said of his Pirates. “After winning a huge game on Friday, it’s not always easy coming back the next night and duplicating that. There’s a lot of emotion put into these games and to manage that can be tough. Our guys did a nice job of being ready to go.”

Pirates take wind out of Vikings sails BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Pirates had 10 players get into the scorebooks as they sailed to an 81-36 win over the visiting Frederic Vikings on Friday night. Grantsburg’s smothering defense gave the Vikings fits all night as they picked off the passing lanes and trapped the offense, forcing turnovers. Frederic did not score until midway through the first half. The Pirates, on the other hand, seemed to score at will and couldn’t miss from anywhere on the court. At halftime the Pirates held a comfortable 45-24 lead. Much of the second half was running clock with the Pirates holding a commanding lead, and everyone seeing plenty of court time in this game. Leo Chenal had a great night, scoring a game-high 15 points with 13 of those coming in the first half. John Chenal was next with 14 points, followed by Tyrell Brande with 11. Gabe Chenal stepped up his game with nine points with Jared VanWatermuelen and Joseph Ohnstad chipping in eight points each. David MacKean came in off the bench and added six points on the night as did Joey Duncan with four points. Luke Anderson and Jacob Phillips each hit a shot from behind the arc to round out the scoring. The Pirates are now 7-1 in conference play and sit atop the West Lakeland standings.

Pirates come up short at Target Center BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

MINNEAPOLIS—The Grantsburg Pirates traveled to the bright lights of Minneapolis for a matinee game against the Clear Lake Warriors on Saturday afternoon. The Pirates weren’t on their game and came up short against the undefeated Warriors, dropping this one 51-59. “Playing at the Target Center is definitely a once in a lifetime expe-

rience for these kids,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “It’s something we look forward to doing every 2-3 years. I think the boys really enjoyed it.” The game was all knotted up at 22-22 at halftime. Half of the Pirates’ points came from the charity stripe as they shot 11 of 14 from the line. They struggled from the line the second half, though, only making five of 14 this half. “We simply didn’t play very well

in many areas of the game,” Hallberg said. “We left a lot of points out there on the offensive end and you can’t do that against a good team like Clear Lake.” John Chenal led the Pirates in scoring despite sitting much of the game in foul trouble. He ended his night with 15 points. Tyrell Brande tallied 13 and Leo Chenal added 11 to end the list of double-digit scorers. Joseph Ohnstad had seven points, Austin Wedin had three and Jared VanWatermuelen had two.

Dragons put nick in Saints halos BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS—Kanaan Christianson had 18 points with Nathan Kosloski and Colton den Hoed each adding 11 as the Siren Dragons defeated the St. Croix Saints last Thursday night 51-36. “We lost by 42 points to St. Croix earlier in the year,” said coach Jon Ruud. “We quit mentally in that game. It was the worst lost we've ever had.” “We took some steps defensively tonight. I'm proud of the kids; it was a nice win for them.” The first half was a low scoring affair. It was 6-3 Siren with 11:56 left in the first half and 9-7 Dragons with 8:02 remaining. Both teams worked hard to get the points they earned and Siren led at the intermission by a 19-17 margin. The teams traded baskets and with a time out at the 10:54 mark. Siren had a slim 28-27 lead. Three minutes later, nothing had changed, except for the score, Siren 32, Saints 31. Then the Dragons caught the Saints napping and ran off 13 straight points. Christianson had two consecutive three's. Riley Churchill had a field goal. Christianson shot another three and it was two-for-two from the line for Nathan Kosloski. The Saints scored a three pointer, but Christianson shot two-for-two from the free throw line and Kosloski hit another field goal and the Saints called time with 1:36 remaining, trailing 48-35. St. Croix only made one additional point via a free throw in the remaining game time which Siren got a free throw from Christianson and a field goal from Chad Songetay.

WEBSTER—“I think any game in this conference will be a nail biting game,” said Coach Rob Scherrer after his Tigers defeated the Luck Cardinals 62-53 on Friday night. “This is an extremely tough conference. Luck is a very talented team and we have to battle when we play a team like them.” The Tigers did have to battle the Cardinals. After going up 14-8, the Luck team fought back, scoring the last five points of the half to take a 27-25 advantage into the intermission. Jack Johansen had 11 tallies for Luck in the first half. Jack Washburn had 11 for the Tigers. With 13:26 remaining, in a time out situation, Luck still had the lead at 34-33. After the time out, Webster went on an 18-13 run that gave them the lead at 51-46 with a little over six minutes remaining in the game. A minute and a half later, Webster had scored three to Luck's 0 with another time out called, Webster 54, Luck 46. Carson Stenberg hit a bucket. Jack Johansen, Luck, went two-for-two from the line and then Gage Johansen hit a three point shot, 56-51. Jack Washburn hit a field goal, 58-51. Payton Ellefson went two-for-two from the line, 58-53. Trevor Gustafson was fouled twice in the remaining time, hitting all four free throws which made the final 62-53. “I'm pretty proud of my guys. Things are looking good for us. We've gone through some injuries and a little adversity and we've come out better. When we get back the guys from injuries, we could be a very dangerous team.” After hosting Birchwood on Tuesday, the Tigers go to Turtle Lake on Friday and will host St. Croix Falls next Tuesday.

WEBSTER—After leading by just one at halftime, 20-19, the Webster Tigers poured in 37 second half points, holding Luck to 13, to take a 57-32 win over the Cardinals on Friday night. “It feels good,” said Coach Matt Wood following the game. “The kids are really excited. This was the best gave ever we played. We put two halves together and the kids really stepped up.” The Tigers started off strong, getting a 10-0 advantage early, but the Cardinals crept back into contention, narrowing the score to 12-9 with 9:58 left in the first half. For the remainder of the half, the teams battled on an even basis. The first four minutes of the second half belonged to the Tigers as they put up 12 points, holding the Cardinals scoreless and Luck called a time out. During that span of time, Summer Winkler had six, Hannah McDowell four and Mahi Mosher two. A little over three minutes later, time out was called again with the Tigers up 35-23. Following that time out, the Tigers outscored the Cardinals 11-4, thanks in part to Hannah McDowell's two three point shots, a three from Mosher and a field goal from Ali Moritz. The Tigers were leading at that point by a 46-27 advantage with a little over five minutes remaining in the game. With the exception of one time out, the game went on to completion, the Tigers being the victor. “Julia (Gavin) was steady on the boards. Mahi (Mosher) was aggressive on the offense as was Hannah (McDowell). Jenna (Gomulak) is gaining more

The kids get frustrated, but it shows (the win) that working hard will pay off.” McDowell finished the game with 20 points. Mosher added 13. Summer Winkler and Julia Gavin chipped in with eight points apiece. Jenna Gomulak had four points, and Morgan Mulroy and Ali Moritz each added two points.

Spartans get past Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Pirates played host to the Somerset Spartans on Monday night in a non-con match up. The Pirates played hard to the very end in a high-scoring game against a tough Spartan squad, but came up short in the end falling 54-69. Grantsburg started hot and jumped out to an early lead before Somerset’s three-point shooters started to heat up. The Pirates held a 32-30 lead at halftime. The Pirates struggled with foul trouble in the second half and the Spartans took advantage of this to take over the lead, but the hometown girls fought until the very end. Olivia Ohnstad battled hard all night and led the Pirates in scoring with 21. Brooke Quimby also had a great night racking up 20 points on the night. Olivia Brock tallied six points before fouling out early in the second half. Janessa Bonneville had three points, with Linda Harmon and Ericka Erickson chipping in two points each.

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—After leading for much of the game, the Grantsburg Pirates were edged out by the Frederic Vikings on Friday night by a final score of 45-38. The Pirates held control of the game from early on, but struggled on the boards and racked up fouls which gave the Vikings a chance to get back into the game. Grantsburg held a two-point lead, 20-18 at halftime. The Vikings came out strong to start the second half and went on a 5-0 run before the Pirates got back into their groove to regain the lead. The lead would bounce back and forth between the teams for the remainder of the game as each would go on a scoring run before the other would go on a run of their own to regain the lead. But in the final minutes the Pirates struggled to get a shot to fall, and were forced to foul to stop the clock. After only shooting six of 15 in free throws the first half, Frederic made 11 of 14 in the second half to seal the win. Brooke Quimby was the leading scorer of the game with 15 with Ohnstad right there with 14 points on the night. Olivia Brock tallied seven points and Janessa Bonneville chipped in two points. The Pirates are now 4-5 in conference play and drop to fourth place in the West Lakeland standings.

The Pirates are now at 4-4 in conference play after the win and sit in third place in the standings. The Tigers, on the other hand, are still looking for their first conference win of the season. This one was close for much of the first half with Grantsburg holding a 23-19 edge over the young Tiger squad at the break. The second half is where things went south for the Tigers as the Pirates outscored them 29 to 12 to run

away with the win. Grantsburg’s quick hands and smothering defense forced several Tiger turnovers that they were able to convert into easy points. Grantsburg’s Brooke Quimby led all scorers with 26 points — 18 of those came in the second half off of several turnovers and easy lay-ups. Olivia Ohnstad also hit double digits with 12 points on the night. Linda Harmon chipped in five points with Cassidy Chenal adding four. Olivia Brock had three points and Janessa Bonneville rounded out the scoring with two points. For the Tigers, it was Julia Gavin leading the way with nine points— seven of those came from the free throw line.

AP NEWS

WEBSTER SENIORS by Bernie Bolter

Due to an oversight, the column published under this head in the Jan. 24 edition of the Sentinel was not the Webster Senior News, but the Siren Senior News. The following is the news that was set to publish. We apologize for any confusion, and to the Webster Senior Center for the error. Here we go again. Weather can’t make up it’s mind what to do. At least it did warm up a bit. There were 17 players for bingo enjoying the treats furnished by Sharon and Bill. Harry and Diane split the big pot. Remember we play at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Always room for more. I didn’t get any info on pool and

dominoes. They play at 1 p.m. every Thursday. We have decided to have pot luck with all of the Horse Race days. The next one will be Saturday, Feb. 10. Set up will be at 11:30 a.m., eating at 12 p.m. and Horse Race to follow lunch. Wii bowling winners were: Pat N. had high individual game and series, 266 and 471. The Shakers had high team game and series, 471 and 1461. We only had one split picked up this week, Darrald the 5-7. I don’t think that has ever happened before. In the coming months we have some upgrading to do at the center. We need a new dining room floor, kitchen floor and - for safety - a new sidewalk in the front. We have to rely on fundraisers

such as garage and bake sales as well as monetary donations to pay for these things. We are accepting clean gently used items (no clothes or electronics) for our garage sale. For anyone who would like to make a monetary donation, call Millie at 715-491-0253. All donations are greatly appreciated. Our garage and bake sale will be April 27 and 28. Stop in and look around, you may find something you can’t live without. Stop in and check out all the center has to offer. Lunches are served at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Be sure to call in the day before so Nikki knows how many to plan for. Remember: Smiles are contagious, let’s infect the world. See you at the center.

Wisconsin Assembly passes bill legalizing lemonade stands MADISON—The Wisconsin Assembly has approved a bill that would legalize children’s lemonade stands. The Republican bill would allow a minor to operate a temporary food stand without a local permit or license or a state food processing or retail food establishment license. The stand can’t generate more than $1,000 in annual sales, however, and must be operated on a temporary basis on private property. The measure’s author, Rep. Joel Kleefisch, says he was driven to draft the bill by a media report of Appleton police shutting down two pre-teen girls’ lemonade stand in 2011. The Assembly approved the bill on a voice vote Tuesday afternoon. It goes next to the state Senate.

Tuning In

Pastor Mike Kleven First Baptist Falun

We all have patterns of â&#x20AC;&#x153;tuning in.â&#x20AC;? We usually listen to the same radio station while driving. We might tune into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wheel of Fortuneâ&#x20AC;? week nights at 6:30p.m. We may regularly watch cable news that matches our politics. We get on Facebook whenever we have a spare moment â&#x20AC;Ś or several hours. Many places where we â&#x20AC;&#x153;tune inâ&#x20AC;? work hard to influence our opinions, mold our attitudes, and even stir our anger. They call us to decide for or against something or someone. They want us to take a stand, draw a line in the sand, get on the right side of the issue. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get on the right side

we are labeled, or worse, friends walk away. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emotionally draining. We are challenged to care deeply. Yet we can feel powerless to do anything about it. That stirs anxiety. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I really want to listen to all that?â&#x20AC;? The Apostle Paul instructed a church about their attention. He told them to think about what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy. Then he wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in meâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.â&#x20AC;?

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, ELCA

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to put my head in the sand about important issues. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want these issues to control my thoughts and emotions. The Apostle Paul showed how to positively impact others and then said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put it into practice.â&#x20AC;? What if we became more people-focused than issue-focused? What would happen if we saw our neighbors, co-workers, people at the gas station and grocery store in noble and admirable ways and then found ways to put compassion and kindness into practice? That would make a difference.
