Santa’s little yelpers Santa had his hands full while visiting the library in Grantsburg on Saturday morning. Big sister Ellie was as happy as could be to sit on Santa’s lap and share her Christmas wishes. Her brothers, Logan and Wyatt, on the other hand were not as fond of the idea.

360 days in jail and 10 years probation in McKenzie Landing case JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY –– Allen Gene Thomas was sentenced, last week, to ten years probation and began serving a 360-day jail sentence in Burnett County for slashing the throats of two men outside of McKenzie Landing Bar & Restaurant in July 2016. He was found guilty on two felony charges at a court trial in September. “If he violates his probation, he

won’t come back here and sit in front of a judge,” said Washburn County Judge Eugene Harrington. “He will go straight to prison for 20 years.” Thomas has imposed and stayed sentences attached to his probation, meaning if he violates any part of his probation he will Thomas go straight to

prison for 20 years and ten years of extended supervision. Harrington handed down the sentence after saying it was “the hardest sentencing in my 21 years,” during the hearing that lasted over two hours. He was looking at the victims sitting in the gallery when he said he can’t send Thomas to prison and have him compensate them financially. He was ordered to pay $2,000

Over the past 24 years Nexen Group Inc. has donated over $1 million back in to the community with the help of United Way St. Croix Valley. Nexen is a manufacturing company with their Headquarters based in Minnesota and their manufacturing location in Webster on Industrial Road. They have worked closely with United Way over the past two decades because they have the ability to raise money that goes directly back into their community. “Our corporate office has always had United Way,” United Way Chair for Nexen Al Steiner. “I remember 20-some years ago thinking that’d be a really good program to have up here.” Steiner said they have been donating ever since. The money is raised through various fundraisers, including bake sales and silent raffles. Nexen is the third largest contributors to Untied Way St. Croix Valley. “Our first year we raised $3,000,” he said. “This year we donated over $30,000 and all the money goes back into the community.” SEE NEXEN, PAGE 2

NEXEN: has given over a million dollars through United Way back to community CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Workers and community leaders packed into Nexen’s lunchroom for the occasion. Nexen has donated to causes in Burnett and Washburn County’s. Some community organizations invited were Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of NW Wisconsin, Interfaith Caregivers, the Salvation Army and the Danbury Fire Department. Denny Blodgett of Interfaith caregivers said thanks to the donations they have been able to deliver 973 loads of firewood, build or repair 100 wheel chair ramps and have been able to provide 2,000 children with Christmas gifts. “All of that has been accomplished in just five years,” Blodgett said. Dan Conroy gave a brief history of how Nexen and United Way began working together. He gave a lot of credit for the program taking off to John Coughlin. “This is all about you, the employees. I am very proud of all of you,” Conroy said. “Something I learned from United Way is that, ‘you cannot live a perfect

day without doing something for somebody else’.” State Senator Patty Schachtner was in attendance to presented a citation and plaque to Nexen for their charitable contributions over the years. The plauque states, “the members of the Wisconsin Senate, on the motion of Senator Patty Schachtner, does honor and congratulate Nexen group, on reaching the mileston of raising $1 million over the last two decades for their local community through their United Way St. Croix Valley Campaign.” “Great things happen when we come together as a community,” Schachtner commented. “Thank you very much Nexen employees.” The United Way served lunch to Nexen employees after they were promised one if this occasion ever occurred. “We promised if you ever raised a million dollars we would serve you lunch and it’s official now, so we’re more than happy to provide it,” said Ann Searles, of United Way. Steiner concluded, “This is for you guys and what you’ve done for the community.”

THOMAS: lawyer says ‘one-time delusion’ attributed to slashing incident in 2016 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

in restitution every month, starting Jan. 1. It was established that Thomas, 55 of Pepin, has an earning potential of $4,000 - $6,500 monthly. Harrington added Thomas will have to “keep track of every penny he earns and every penny he spends.” Assistant District Attorney Dan Steffen did not have an exact amount of money they were looking for in restitution, but said it would take 30 days to put together a figure. Other conditions of Thomas’ probation are that he is not allowed to consume alcohol, no contact with any of the victims or their families, he also is not to be within 25 miles of McKenzie Landing. He will also have to undergo a substance abuse evaluation and needs to follow-up on all recommendations. Thomas is not allowed in any establishment that serves alcohol on the premise and will have a curfew from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the duration of his probation. Harrington said this was the most difficult sentencing he has ever ruled on because of the extreme circumstances, including the fact that “all three lawyers in this room have no idea why this random act of violence occurred.” Thomas was found guilty at the two-day court trial in September of aggravated battery with intent to cause great bodily harm, class E felony charges. He was initially charged with two counts of intentional homicide, but those charges were dropped back in April. He said at the sentencing hearing that he was in two places at once on the evening of July 3, 2016. “I was in McKenzie Landing, but I was also in Germany,” Thomas said. During the Cold War he was a scout on the German-Czechoslovakian border. “I can’t take back what I did. So I just want to say I’m sorry,” Thomas said with the back of his head toward the victims. At the court trial Thomas said he was drugged and that is why he attacked the victims, who were complete strangers to him. His lawyer, Aaron Nelson, described it as a one-time

delusion and could not explain what happened. “This is a good man who did a horrible, horrible thing,” Nelson explained. “It’s an outlier in his character.” Nelson often referenced the attack as an “act of violence” and Harrington would interject, “random, these were both random acts of violence.” Steffen stated that the state was recommending 14 year sentences on both counts to be served consecutively. It would have been nine years in prison and five years of extended supervision. He said that sentencing is based on three categories; seriousness of offense, character of defendant and need to protect the public. “I don’t think there could be a much more serious offense,” Steffen said. He continued to explain that Thomas has open cases in Pierce County for theft, was convicted of OWI in 2014 and domestic abuse battery in 2010. Steffen said incarceration is the only way to protect the public. Before Steffen began his closing arguments he had a number of family members read their victim impact statements. A daughter of one of the victims gave her statement first. It outlined how she did all she could to keep her father alive as he was centimeters or even millimeters from death while bleeding outside of McKenzie Landing Bar & Restaurant for 45 minutes. Nelson objected to the reading of the statement saying she does not meet the requirement of a victim to the crime. After Harrington found out it was the victim’s daughter he overruled the objection. She said as a medical professional it was not certain her father would live or die. “Dad there’s big vessels here. I really hope it’s a superficial injury,” she told her father and read in court while fighting back tears. “Over the last two years no one has been held accountable for what has happened.” She continued to describe the amount of blood on the scene. While she was applying pressure with towels to the wounds, they were becoming soaked

in blood stemming from the cut that run almost the entirety of his neck. She said that it took 45 minutes for the ambulance to arrive and that the whole family had a feeling of helpless while her father was in the intensive care unit for over 24 hours. “It has had a psychological impact on our entire family,” she said. Both victims had extended family in the area for the Fourth of July and have not been back since. “We used to have so much joy and peace when going to the cabin. Thomas intended to kill not one, but two strangers to him. He is a threat to society.” Nelson would go on to object to two other victim impact statements. Those were given by grandchildren of the victims. These statements outlined that both were suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome after seeing their grandfather almost bleed to death. The wives of both victims read their statements. “I was face to face with death and I remember it every night. Every time I swallow. Every time I touch my neck I am reminded of this attack,” she read. The court was silent as Harrington began explaining his reason for sentencing. “There are two ways to obtain justice,” Harrington said. “I could do what Mr. Steffen is suggesting and give out the max, 15 years to run consecutively. Thomas is 55 and not eligible for release for 20 years.” Harrington looked directly at the victims when he said, “The max penalty doesn’t do justice for you. He must be obligated to pay money.” He continued to explain that both victims have suffered serious injuries with the scars never going away. But said that 20 years in prison isn’t going to fix things. After about a minute of silence, Harrington looked up from his papers and asked, “what’s the longest probation I can impose?” Nelson began searching his phone and found that the maximum time would be 10 years. Once the sentence was handed down, officers from the sheriff’s department took Thomas up to the jail to begin serving his 360-day sentence. A restitution hearing is set to be scheduled in the next 30 days.

Christian author set to speak in Danbury Brian Fenimore will be speaking on Saturday, Dec. 8, at the Danbury Town Hall. The meetings will be held at 3:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. with a meal served in between services. As he teaches, Brian gives people an opportunity to practice using the gifts

It’s called a ‘whoopie pie’ A whoopie pie is a dessert sandwich. I was always taught it is a Pennsylvania Dutch specialty invented by the Amish. The story is that they were invented in Lancaster County when the Amish had leftover cake batter to make the pies. Kids would shout out “whoopie” when they discovered the pies in their lunch boxes. The classic whoopie pie is two chocolate cake-like patties, about as big as an adults palm, with cream filling in the middle. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookie or pumpkin whoopie pie. The Sentinel chocolate chip one resembles one of those ice-cream cookie sandEditor wich treats. Jonathan Richie It has been a staple of every trip I’ve ever made to Pennsylvania. My mom would often schedule trips around visits to the big flea market in Ephrata called Green Dragon. Green Dragon is only open on Fridays. We would start the drive by leaving Milwaukee around midnight on a Monday. Then arrive on Tuesday afternoon and leave on Friday after visiting Green Dragon. As a kid, I would take the whoopie pie out of the cellophane wrapper and delicately place it down. Then I would position my hands around it perfectly to execute the best eating experience without it becoming too messy. Our family would drive to Pennsylvania two or three times a year. Then life got busy with college, becoming an adult and finding a suitable job. The visits became more sporadic and also more special. It’s difficult to understand as a kid what those trips meant because they happened so often. Flying out to Pennsylvania, for Thanksgiving, to visit my family was a great trip. The last time I saw my grandma, Betty Mae Schannauer, was for Christmas in 2015. Even though we talk on the phone every Sunday, nothing compares to visiting with her. Betty and I talked about life and work in her kitchen while we made deviled eggs for Thanksgiving. She took me to the store to buy some boots, as ice fishing season rolls in, and a nice shirt to add to my winter layers. We even took a trip from Gouglersville to Allentown to visit my uncle and see a minor league hockey game. The Hershey Bears lost to the Lehigh Valley Phantom, but it was a really fun time. Then flying back on Sunday I had the joy of experiencing, what felt like withdrawals as I said bye to my mom and wished her a safe trip. Then it was just me, all alone in the airport, waiting for my flight to bring me back up here. But as Geoffrey Chaucer put it, all good things must come to an end. When I got home on Sunday, I noticed that the whoopie pie my mom packed in my carry-on bag was still intact so I devoured that before bed. It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-4632341 or email - editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

Designer babies coming soon? A Chinese researcher rocked the world last week when he announced that he had successfully edited the DNA of twin girls born this month. The Associated Press reported that He Jiankui claims to have edited the genetic makeup of the girls to make them immune from HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The news report says that the type of gene editing performed is banned in the United States because the DNA changes can pass to future generations and it risks harming other genes. Jiankui did the work in China, and said he altered embryos for seven couples during fertility treatments, with one pregnancy resulting thus far. From the Jiankui announced his work to Publisher’s reporters and organizers for an interDesk national conference on gene editing and did not publish his work in a Tom Stangl scientific journal where it could be h k db h experts in the field. checked by other If he did in fact accomplish this feat, it is now time for society to decide what comes next. That’s where the discussion becomes more difficult. “I feel a strong responsibility that it’s not just to make a first, but also make it an example,” He told the AP. “Society will decide what to do next” in terms of allowing or forbidding such science. Scientists in the field are divided. Some feel the actions amount to “an experiment on human beings that is not morally or ethically defensible,” while others believe protecting infants from HIV is a noble pursuit. In recent years scientists have discovered a relatively easy way to edit genes, the strands of DNA that govern the body. The tool, called CRISPR-cas9, makes it possible to operate on DNA to supply a needed gene or disable one that’s causing problems.

It’s only recently been tried in adults to treat deadly diseases, and the changes are confined to that person. Editing sperm, eggs or embryos is different — the changes can be inherited. In the U.S., it’s not allowed except for lab research. China outlaws human cloning but not specifically gene editing. The Chinese researcher said he practiced editing mice, monkey and human embryos in the lab for several years and has applied for patents on his methods. Fathers in the study had HIV, the mothers did not. Jiankui’s appeal was to offer couples affected by HIV a chance to have a child that might be protected from a similar fate. Phrases like opening Pandora’s box come to mind whenever I read these types of stories. I am excited to have human suffering eased, but I cannot help wondering if the medicine is worse than the disease. If we can somehow perfect this technology, who decides which flaws are corrected? Who decides what is a flaw? Who ensures the genetic arbiters are doing the right thing? I know the same arguments happened when Dolly, the first cloned animal was created. We had a similar discussion when Louise Joy Brown, the first child conceived by in vitro fertilization was born 40 years ago. I believe this accomplishment is another step on the slippery slope to a master race and we need to slow down and discuss where we go from here, before we won’t be able to have the discussion. Because we can do a thing doesn’t necessarily mean we should do it. As always, I welcome your comments.

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

Johnson backs bill to delist gray wolf, while Baldwin remains noncommittal WISPOLITICS.COM

A U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson spokesman says the Oshkosh Republican would back a bill aiming to delist the gray wolf in all but two states should it be taken up in the Senate. But the office of U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin didn’t say whether she’d support the legislation from 7th CD U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy seeking to remove the wolves from the Endangered Species Act. The bill, which cleared the House earlier this month, would lift protections for the wolves across the continental United States. A Johnson spokesman this week noted Johnson has been working on the issue “for a while.” Johnson in 2015 intro-

duced a bill that would direct the Department of the Interior to reissue final rules related to the endangered listing of the gray wolf in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Wyoming. He reintroduced the legislation last year. But a Baldwin spokeswoman in an email expressed preference for the Madison Democrat’s HELP for Wildlife Act, which would delist the gray wolf in Wyoming and the western Great Lakes as well as reauthorize and provide funding for a series of conservation programs. The spokeswoman noted Duffy’s bill “has not yet come up in the Senate” and didn’t answer whether Baldwin would vote for the Wausau Republican’s legislation if it does

hit the floor. The comments follow the House passage of Duffy’s “Manage Our Wolves Act.” The bipartisan legislation — passed on a 196-180 vote — aims to remove the gray wolf from the list of endangered or threatened species and reinstate a rule that removed the gray wolf in the western Great Lakes region from the list. “If you live in Wisconsin, especially northern Wisconsin, it might be necessary for us to actually manage this population because it’s good for the environment,” Duffy said in a statement following the bill’s passage. “Frankly, I believe that our states are far more in tuned in understanding the ecosystem of their state than bureaucrats in Washington.”

The legislation garnered support from U.S. Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Green Bay; Glenn Grothman, R-Glenbeulah; and Ron Kind, D-La Crosse. U.S. Reps. Mark Pocan, D-Town of Vermont; and Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, voted against the bill, while U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls, did not vote. State Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Minocqua, praised Duffy’s work and urged Baldwin to back the bill in a joint statement last week with Michigan Sen. Tom Casperson. Tiffany this session introduced a bill that would ban police from enforcing state or federal law aimed at managing Wisconsin’s wolf population. The language would also prohibit the state Depart-

Spec-U-tacular Christmas Cookies What is the best Christmas cookie? Everyone has their own idea of what the ultimate Christmas cookie is. But, if you had to choose just one that everyone liked or one that at least reminded them of Christmas, which would you pick? When I was Wild Chow still catering, I Lisa Erickson baked cookies every year for some local businesses. I made sugar cookies, chocolate, peanut butter, lemon, gingerbread men, and so on. Every week, I took stock of what was left to try to determine which was most popular. The results were all over the board, so not really conclusive. My sample size was from a small northwestern Wisconsin town, which really doesn’t tell me which cookie is most popular. Millions of people across the globe make Christmas cookies. From subsequent research, I know if I took a poll down south, say in Georgia where peanuts

are grown, maybe peanut butter cookies would be the most popular. Or in Florida, would they prefer lemon or a citrus cookie. Last fall, I wrote about the popularity of warming spices and how they came to be. It’s the same for Christmas cookies. In areas of cold weather, people want to taste warming spices like cinnamon and cloves. If I had to guess Speculoos would be very popular in our area. I guess that’s why they are offered on airplanes that traverse the globe—everyone loves them, including me. If you’ve never had a Speculoos cookie, come to MidWestOne Bank this Friday, December 7. I’m baking a big batch for the bank to share with customers. I’d also like to know what your favorite Christmas cookie is. Maybe your recipe will be printed here. If you can’t stop by the bank, send me your favorite recipe to wildchowrecipes@ gmail.com Christmas Cookies 1 Tbsp cinnamon 1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp ground cardamom 1/4tsp ground anise 1/4 tsp allspice 3 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 Tbsp, plus 1 tsp cookie spice blend 1 cup butter, softened 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 cup sugar 1 egg In a small bowl mix spices together and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and spices and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add the egg. Add the flour mixture and mix until combined. Remove dough from bowl and shape into a square log about 2-3-inches wide. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Unwrap dough and slice into 1/8to 1/4-inch thickness cookies. Place cookies on parchment on a cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container.

Siren PD execute search warrants based on marijuana odor SIREN—On Friday, Nov. 30, the Siren Police Department assisted by the St. Croix Tribal Police Department and Webster Police Department executed a search warrant based on the odor of marijuana in the Village of Siren. During the execution of the warrant, 1.33 pounds of suspected marijuana and 18.5 grams of suspected methamphetamine and numerous other drug paraphernalia items were found. There were two suspects arrested at the residence, Laverne Dale Powers and Tonya McMullen. Once the search warrant was completed, there was still one subject who was not at home at the time of the search warrant. The subject was later located and stopped in the Village of Siren on a traffic stop. During, the course of the traffic stop, the subject was asked to get out of the vehicle and refused,at-

tempting to flee in the vehicle. The suspect was able to get the vehicle into drive and fled spinning the tires of the vehicle. The officer had his arms inside the window and was being dragged by the vehicle. The suspect stopped the vehicle in a nearby yard. The suspect was taken out of the vehicle and arrested. During the investigation, a Tribal Police K-9 sniffed the exterior of the vehicle and indicated on the car. In a container alongside the vehicle, officers located 2.71 ounces or 77 grams of suspected methamphetamine. The suspect was identified as Erick Cooke. Siren Police Department was assisted by St. Croix Tribal Police Department, Webster Police Department, and the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office. All subjects were taken to the

Burnett County Jail. The next day on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018, the Siren Police Department along with the St. Croix Tribal Police Department, Webster Police Department, and the Burnett County Sheriffs’ Department, executed another search warrant off of the odor of marijuana. While conducting the search warrant, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, scales and money were recovered. Upon entry into the residence, the odor of marijuana was strong and there was found to be a 2-year-old child also inside the residence. The following individuals were arrested; Terry Fish, Justus Sizemore and Austin Weeks. The Siren Police Department would like to thank the agencies that assisted in this matter and that the matter is still under investigation.

track facilities to hold large track meets or many other events. In September the board heard from Lisa Voisin of BAIRD. She explained that the levy debt from the 1998 referendum is scheduled to end in the spring of 2019. She also said that if they do not pass a referendum the tax levy for the school will drop and they will experience the “Frederic dip.” The school will receive less money from taxes and will have to find that money somewhere else. Siren Superintendent Kevin Shetler explained the numbers . With the drop of the 1998 referendum, if the school goes forward with the $6 million referendum taxes would go down $23 per $100,000 appraised home value. If the building referendum is the only one that passes taxes would still go down about $43 per $100,000 appraised home value. Moore outlined the reason for the referendum is to make improvements to the school to allow more opportunity for the students and the taxpayers will save money. “It’s a win-win,” she said. Shetler said he would take the information from the meeting back to Kraus-Anderson and Unesco and was hoping they could come to the next budget and finance meeting next week for more discussion.

The other, for $2 million will be for a new football stadium, track, and other sports facilities. They have until Jan. 22 to approve the resolutions. They plan on having the pair of referendums on the ballot in April instead of February. That will put it on the general election ballot on April 2 and not the primary election ballot on Feb. 19, 2029. The board heard pitches from Kraus-Anderson and Unesco. Both companies specialize in K-12 buildings and gave details on what improvements they thought were possible. Unesco brought an a la cartetype list of potential upgrades they could bring to the school. It listed their “good, better, best” options for each area of the school. After the presentations, School Board President Peggy Moore led the conversation by going through the entire list of potential work scenarios. They plan on updating and securing the elementary school entrance, renovating the weight room, upgrading the FACs equipment and remodeling some of the science labs. They also plan on upgrading the restrooms in the elementary

and high school. 4th grade teacher Tina Karsten was at the meeting, and spoke about the state of the elementary school bathrooms. “Sometimes the smell is so bad coming from inside there that it makes you want to throw up,” Karsten said. After going through the list of about 14 potential projects, Moore added up the costs and announced it would be about $3.83 million total. Board member Chris Engstrom said that these costs are all guesses and Moore countered with, “that’s how building costs work.” That was part of the reason for bumping the referendum cost up to $4 million. “We can’t come up short with funds for the referendum,” Moore stated. The board voted and approved the resolution and then the board’s vice president Mark Pettis brought up the football field and the need to look into a referendum for that and the track. They approved that resolution without any opposing votes. Moore brought up that there are more students on the school’s track and field team than any other sport and that those kids deserve sufficient equipment. Siren currently does not have adequate

Gov. Walker appoints new District Attorney MADISON –Governor Scott Walker today, Dec. 4, appointed Attorney Joseph Schieffer to the position of Burnett County District Attorney. Schieffer will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of William Norine. “I am pleased to appoint Joe Schieffer as Burnett County district attorney,” said Governor Walker. “I am confident that his legal acumen and dedication to the rule of law will serve the people of Burnett County well and build on Joseph’s success as a district attorney.” Joseph Schieffer works as a special prosecutor currently in the Burnett County District Attorney’s Office. In this role, Schieffer appears on behalf of the State of Wisconsin and Burnett County in cases involving juveniles, domestic violence, theft, and various other felony and misdemeanor level offenses. Prior to this role in the community, Schieffer was a sole practitioner at his Cumberland based firm, Schieffer Law, LLC. Schieffer successfully managed a heavy caseload involving cases in civil litigation, criminal defense, and family law. Schieffer was also

an associate attorney at Smith & Smith Law, LTD, and an assistant district attorney in the Barron County District Attorney’s Office. In addition to his legal experience, Schieffer is on the board of directors on Kinship of Cumberland & Turtle Lake. Schieffer was previously the treasurer of the Barron County Bar Association. Burnett County Circuit Court Judge Melissia Mogen wrote in support of Schieffer, “Mr. Schieffer will be a great asset to those involved in the Burnett County criminal justice system. In the time that he has been special prosecutor for Burnett County, he has shown that he has a positive work ethic, integrity, and the professional experience to serve the people of Burnett County well.” Judge Mogen adds, “The experience Mr. Schieffer gained from being an assistant district attorney in Barron County and as a special prosecutor for Burnett County is valuable and will help him make decisions that are critical in his new role as district attorney.” Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald recommends Schieffer stating, “Joe is seen as an attorney

with integrity and unwilling to compromise his principles. Although he has more recently been a criminal defense attorney, the respect he has shown law enforcement while at the same time advocating for his clients has allowed him to maintain the respect of our deputies. He treats everyone with respect.” Schieffer received his juris doctor from Marquette University, his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh, and his associates degree from Chippewa Valley Technical College. He resides in Cumberland with his wife Hilary. Schieffer and Assistant District Attorney Dan Steffen had been splitting District Attorney duties since Norine’s resignation in September. He moderated one of the sheriff forums in September between sheriff-elect Tracy Finch and Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers. At the end of the evening, Schieffer commented on the future of Burnett County. “I’ve worked with both of these candidates,” Schieffer said. “All I’ve got to say is I see a bright future for Burnett County and it’s residents.”

Hunters kill nearly 7 percent more deer during gun season MADISON—Hunters killed slightly more deer during Wisconsin’s nine-day gun season this year than in 2017. The state Department of Natural Resources released preliminary data Tuesday showing hunters killed 211,430 deer this season. That’s up nearly 7 percent from 197,733 deer last year. The buck kill jumped 5.4 percent, from 99,002 in 2017 to 104,388 this season. Hunters in the central farmland

management zone killed the most deer of any of the state’s four management zones, harvesting 114,288 animals. The central forest zone yielded the fewest deer at 7,037 animals. Fewer hunters were in the woods. DNR data shows 576,277 hunters purchase some form of gun deer license as of midnight Sunday, the day the nineday season ended. That’s down from 589,642 licenses last year, a 2.3 percent decrease.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever The Grantsburg High School drama department performed the holiday story “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” this past weekend. The story is about a church’s annual Christmas pageant which is overtaken by the Herdman children, a family of six dirty deliquent siblings who have a terrible reputation in town as the troublemakers who lie, steal and bully other kids. The Herdmans take over the church and the pageant while learning the Christmas story for the ﬁrst time. Their take on the story of Mary and Joseph opens the eyes of the community and reminds everyone of the real meaning of Christmas. At left, Imogene Herdman, played by Hanne Johnson, gets a little possessive of Baby Jesus as she takes on her roll as Mary during one of the pageant rehearsals. At right, Gladys Herdman, played by Alexi Slater, exuberantly announces the arrival of Baby Jesus.

Welcome to December. It is hard to believe that 2018 is almost history. Eighteen came to play dime bingo. Margel won the big pot. We play every Wednesday at 12:30. Come join the fun. Millie won at dominoes and Harry was the big winner at pool. Join them every Thursday at 1:00 pm. Wii bowling had lots of high scoring games this week. Bill B had high individual game and series 277 and 535. Barry’s Harem had high team game and series, 864 and 1634. Splits picked up were: Max 4-10, Millie 2-7-8, Sharon 4-5-10 and Deanna 5-7. Birthday wishes to: Deanna Thompson, Sharon S, Millie Hansen, Jim Nolby and all others celebrating their special day in December. If I have missed anyone this year, please let me know so I can get them on my list. The decorating elves were here again and did a great job. It looks so festive and really gets you in the mood for the season. The next monthly meeting will be Tuesday December 18 at 12:30 pm. Please plan to join us. We could use some fresh ideas and suggestions. Remember: Life isn’t measured by the breaths you take, but by the things that take your breath away. See you at the center.

I just received notice of the 10th Annual Christmas Dinner on Saturday, Dec. 15 at the Siren School. The meal is free to everybody. No money will be accepted on that date but you can certainly make donations before the dinner to help with the cost of the dinner. Checks could be mailed to Pastor Steve Ward, 27377 Earl William Drive, Webster, Wisconsin 54893. There will be live music, face painting and of course, Santa will make an appearance. Hope everyone had a chance to spend Thanksgiving with family and friends. We had meals delivered and this worked out very well. The meal was good and plenty for a second meal. Thank you, community. Evelyn Miller was the dollar winner for dime bingo. She also won a few weeks ago. The Thanksgiving week Jeanne Meier and

Darrald Doriott shared the dollar game. We had some new faces join us for bingo. Everyone is welcome and we play on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. Spade winners for Nov. 16 were Dwaine Bentley, Lorna Erickson, Gerry Vogel, Anke Olesen. Tony Rutter got the 9 bid. The 500 winners for Nov 28 were Jim Anderson, Phyllis Peterson, Marilyn Niles and Pat Bresina. Sue Christensen and Dean Elkin shared the 9 bid. We have lost several of our players as the snowbirds have already left. We wish them safe traveling and good health. We look forward to your returns in the spring. Dates to Remember: Dec 7 – Pearl Harbor Day Dec 12 – Board meeting and potluck Dec 15 – Xmas dinner at Siren School Dec 20 – Monthly meeting

Volunteer Bell Ringers Still Needed The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign is underway. The campaign will go through Dec. 30 in Burnett County. Volunteers to help bell ring have been a struggle to secure at many of the sites in Burnett County and help is needed. If you, your church group or civic group can help ring, you can sign up at www. registertoring.com or call the staff at Faith House Shelter at 715-349-8744. Donations from the Red Kettle Campaign stay in Burnett County to help those in the most need with things like: rent, heat and electric assistance. Some of the funds also go to support the Homeless Shelter Faith House, located in Siren. Last year alone, Faith House provide 1,976 peaceful nights of sleep to those who would otherwise have no place to go. Volunteer bell ringers are how the Salvation Army raises the funds needed to continue these important services to the community. If you cannot ring this year but would like to make a financial contribution, donations can be sent to: Burnett County Salvation Army P.O. Box 67 Siren, WI 54872.

Don’t do it alone STEVE CARLSON NORTH COUNTRY INDEPENDENT LIVING

Recent studies suggest that isolation is a growing problem across America, often compounded by limited transportation options in rural areas. Isolation can especially be acute in the northern part of the country when winter sets in and people are often less likely to go outdoors, attend an event, or make time to visit family and friends. Prolonged isolation can have serious health consequences. Raising levels of stress hormones and inflammation that can increase the risk of heart disease, dementia, suicide attempts and type 2 diabetes, all of which can lead to a greatly decreased quality of life and premature death. Fortunately there are programs being developed to combat loneliness and isolation. A particularly promising program, called LinkAges, is a network that helps its members form meaningful and rewarding connections/relationships through an exchange of abilities, talents and interests. It operates through a framework known as time banking. For example, a member doesn’t know how to cook, so they request help from another member who can cook. The one who can cook banks the time they spend with their “student” and can then request a similar amount of time from a different member for skills or services they may lack, such as learning to play an instrument, gardening, or a ride to the grocery store. Beyond the exchange of services, meaningful connections and friendships are made, and often these connections are cross generational which has been shown to be especially beneficial to older adults. It’s a practical way to build and strengthen community, meet new people, share what we know and teach others the things we know how to do. For more information on how it works, I encourage you to visit their website at: https://community.linkages.org/. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org.

tween the February and April elections in 2020. This option would cause voter confusion, increase election official fatigue, waste millions of tax dollars, and possibly have disastrous consequences if a recount is needed between elections. We support having maximum opportunities for Wisconsin citizens to obtain a ballot and vote, including opportunities for absentee and early voting. We support the protections in the federal Affordable Care Act for persons with preexisting conditions. It is fine to add a similar provision to state law, but it is unneeded if we preserve the ACA. We opposed the current policy imposing work requirements for some recipients of BadgerCare and we would not support this being written into the statutes. In the long run we expect our state leaders to work together to carry out a smooth transition of power and serve the people of Wisconsin.

Ex-Johnsonville employee gets prison time for tampered brats

MILWAUKEE—A former employee of Johnsonville Sausage has been sentenced to more than four years in federal prison for putting foreign objects in sausages while he worked at the Sheboygan Falls company. Twenty-eight-year-old Jonathan Tilman Lane, of Kiel (keel), was sentenced Thursday. Lane also will be

on three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay just over $42,000 to Johnsonville for product it discarded. Prosecutors alleged Lane placed a wire connector in a sausage on the processing line, and during another occasion, put a cigarette paper in another sausage in

March. Johnsonville says none of the tampered products left its production facilities. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports U.S. District Judge Pamela Pepper told Lane that his reckless conduct created the potential for the contaminated sausages to reach consumers.

DATCP extends deadline for hemp applications, renewals MADISONâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;State regulators are giving prospective hemp farmers another two months to apply for licenses for the 2019 growing season. The Department of Agricul-

ture, Trade and Consumer Protection announced Tuesday that it would extend the deadline for new license applications and existing registration renewals from Dec. 31 to March 1.

Brian Kuhn, director of DATCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bureau of Plant Industry, said in a news release that growers need more time to find land, seed sources and markets.

Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill on November 2017 allowing Wisconsin farmers to grow industrial hemp. The law prohibits plants from containing more than 0.3 percent THS, the

active ingredient in marijuana. Farmers with drug convictions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eligible for licenses. DATCP licensed 242 hemp farmers for the 2018 season. The agency says 139 planted.

Hilltoppers outlast Pirates STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—After jumping out to a quick start and leading most of the first half, the Grantsburg Lady Pirates were outscored 27-15 by the Glenwood City Hilltoppers in the second half of Tuesday’s game to record their second loss of the season, 35-48. The quick hands of the Pirates forced

several Hilltopper turnovers early on and the hometown girls were able to turn those into layups and easy points. They held the lead the entire first half until the final 30 seconds when the Hilltoppers took over the lead and headed into the locker room up 21-20. Grantsburg’s Brooke Quimby tallied 10 first half points with her counterpart, Olivia Ohnstad, chipping in eight. Despite only being down by one point,

SIREN––On Tuesday, the Shell Lake Lakers squeaked past the Siren Dragons 42-41. “We had a shot at the buzzer that was just a little off,” lamented Coach Ryan Karsten. “We played well in the second half and made a run to get back into the game. Hannah Lemieux had a great second half hitting three three-pointers to get us back into the game. Free throws are where the game was lost, in my opinion. We missed our first seven and were 6 of 17 on the game. We are going to need to do a better job moving forward in that area to help out with close games.” “The effort, hustle, and heart shown in the second half is the team we need to be moving forward, not the team that showed up in the first half. We have one more nonconference game before the conference schedule starts next week, with Unity and SCF, who are the best two teams in the conference. I am looking for improvement going into those two games and beyond.” Shell Lake led at the half 23-15. Hannah Lemieux led the Dragons with 12 points. Jade Horstman added seven. Seven other Dragons added to the total scoring. Cassie Skatebo had 13 for the Lakers. Anna Mikula added 10 and Addy Schroeder eight.

SIREN––“It was a well played game by the Dragons,” affirmed Siren Coach Ryan Karsten following the Siren 55-23 win over Turtle Lake on Friday night. “It was a great team effort. I played 15 girls in each half. At times, they were fun to watch, it was night and day different from Tuesday night vs. Shell Lake. The hustle, effort and heart that was shown Friday night is what I am looking for each night out of the girls. If we can duplicate that each night the rest of the year, I will be a very happy coach.” After just three minutes into the game, the Dragons led 6-3 and at the 9:43 mark, Siren had just a four point margin at 11-7. It was after that time out that the Dragons went

Lindquist had five points with Madison Thiex getting four. Maddie Nichols hit a three point shot. Jaiden Jewell scored a field goal right at the buzzer to cap the drive. Kyleigh Lightfeather led the charge in the third quarter with four field goals. Seven different girls scored in the second half for the Dragons. “We were led by Kyleigh Lightfeather with 10 points on the offensive end, and Jade Horstman, Paeyton McKnight, and Jaiden Jewell on the defensive end,” continued the coach. “The upcoming week for the Dragons will be a tough one as they travel to St. Croix Falls Tuesday night and host Unity on Friday, easily the best two teams in the West Lakeland for the girls. We will know where we sit after this week,” concluded Coach Karsten.

WEBSTER––“The girls played extremely well, even with the lack of practices last week,” commented Tiger coach Matt Wood following the 51-35 win over the visiting Cumberland Beavers last Tuesday night. “The last couple days of practice were good,” he added. Webster held a 27-17 lead at the intermission. Jenna Gomulak, Hannah McDowell and Julia Gavin each scored six in the first half with Makena Buffington adding five more.

With nearly everyone getting a chance to play, the Tigers added 10 and the Beavers getting 14. “We had contributions from just about everyone. I thought this was one of the better games we have played. They (the girls) are all pretty selfless and pitched in together and worked together, “ concluded Coach Wood. Buffington led the Tigers in scoring with 12. McDowell added 11 and Julia Gavin had eight. Six other Tigers has scores in the game. Webster shot 14 for 28 from the free throw line and committed 21 fouls. Cumberland was nine for 25 from the line and made 26 fouls.

WEBSTER—“Shell Lake is a heck of a basketball team,” complimented Webster coach Matt Wood following a 65-46 setback on Friday night. “They got us out of our comfort zone early with their pressure. We got down in a huge hole to begin the game where we were held scoreless for a while. The kids kept fighting though and kept making runs at Shell Lake’s lead,” he continued. “Late in the second half, we

got the deficit that ballooned all the way up to twenty down to six with four minutes to go. The score doesn’t really indicate how our girls fought back. They had many different times that they could have folded and they kept playing tough. That is all I can ask for as a coach and was proud of their fight. “Hannah McDowell had a heck of a game shooting the basketball. When she is on, we can play with anyone in the conference. Brooke Hetfeld came off the bench and had some high energy minutes for us. I think you will be seeing

more of her as this season gets going.” McDowell led all scorers with 23 points for the Tigers. Brook Hetfeld and Mahi Mosher each added seven. Makena Buffington chipped in with five. For Shell Lake, the top scorer for the Lakers was Addison Schroeder with 20. Anna Mikula was right behind with 19. Both Cassie Skattabo and Taylor Eiche added 10 apiece. After traveling to Grantsburg on Tuesday, Webster hosts Luck on Friday and goes to Winter next Tuesday.

BALDWIN—“Obviously not the way we wanted to start the season but we are very proud of our kids and their heart,” said Blizzard boys coach Tim McDonald following the 17-2 set back on Thursday night to the Baldwin-Woodville Black Hawks. “We knew it was going to be a challenge for our team with a goalie who has only practiced four times in net, but who played fantastic, and a shorter bench, but our kids competed the entire game, they kept their composure, and they never quit.” BW scored eight times in the first period, but the Blizzard were able to get one. That goal was made by Dane Jensen with an assist to Jared Lee. The Black Hawks put four into the net during the second period and five more in the third. The Blizzard got their second goal of the game in the final period on a score by Jared Lee with an assist going to Dawson Van Meter. New Blizzard goaltender Trevor Adolphson had 20 saves against the Black Hawks. “Now we get back to work on Friday and get prepared for our next game this Saturday,” concluded Coach McDonald. The Blizzard will have traveled to Black River Falls on Saturday.

BLACK RIVER FALLS—“I think it was just a matter of time before our short bench caught up to us as the boys didn’t seem to have their legs under them this game,” reported Blizzard coach Tim McDonald following a 12-2 loss on Saturday to Black River Falls. “We played hard and improved in some areas that we needed to improve in, such as playing the body and getting more shots, but we need to eliminate some mistakes, play better positioning, and be more fundamentally sound.” The Tigers scored six times in period one, three in the second frame, and three in the third. Burnett got a goal in period two by Bryce Roufs, assisted by Dave Doty, and one in the third by Doty, assisted by Dawson Van Meter. Blizzard goaltender Trevor Adolphson stopped 21 shots on goal.

Both teams struggled to get on the board early on with nearly five minutes coming off the game clock before the Spartans broke the seal first to get the scoring started. The Pirates answered quickly on a put-back by Tyrell Brande to get the hometown boys on the board. The scoring was close from there with the Pirates holding a 26-20 lead at halftime. Half of those points came from the charity stripe as they made 16 trips to the foul line in the half, making 13 of them. The Pirates ramped up the intensity on

We limited second chances.” “On the offensive end, Jared and Leo did their part and our guards played a clean game, for the most part, against Somerset’s pressure.” Leo Chenal led all scorers with 24 points. Jared VanWatermeulen was right there with 20 points. Tyrell Brande and Austin Wedin had four points each while Joey Duncan and David MacKean added two points each. Gabe Chenal hit one from the foul line to end the scoring for the Pirates. Grantsburg heads to Cumberland on Tuesday night, then to Frederic on Friday. Game time is 7:15 p.m. for both contests.

Dragons excite crowd with last second free throw GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—It was a very sweet victory for the Siren boys basketball team as they came from behind to defeat the Turtle Lake Lakers 59-58 on Friday night. With :43 second left in the game and the game tied at 58, Turtle Lake had possession of the ball. Riley Churchill stole the ball for the Dragons and Siren then worked the clock down to :06, hoping for a winning shot. At :06, Siren called time to set the play. After a missed shot, Nathan Kosloski got the offensive rebound and put it back up. He was fouled in the act of shooting and made one of two free throws to put the Dragons up by a single point. With three ticks remaining, both teams called consecutive time outs to play strategy for the last shot for Turtle Lake and for the defense for Siren. The Dragons put a man on the Laker who was going to throw the ball in from the back court. He had to lob it over that Dragon in hopes of getting a teammate further down court in hopes of a quick and accurate shot. But the throw missed the receiver and Dragon Chad Songetay intercepted the pass and dribbled out the clock for the win. “I really thought we played well,” said

coach Jon Ruud following the game. “Last year we struggled and couldn’t find a way to win close games like this. Tonight we stuck together which is very important for this program. I’m really proud of these guys. Tonight we found a way to win.” Siren trailed 29-23 at the intermission. Both Churchill and Kosloski had nine points in the first half with Songetay recording the remaining five. A bucket by Kosloski and two free throws by Kanaan Christianson narrowed the gap to 29-27, but the Lakers pulled ahead to lead 36-31 at the 11:18 mark. The Dragons tied the game at 49 on a three point shot by Kosloski and went ahead by two on two charity tosses by Christianson. A free throw by the Lakers and a field goal by Songetay put the Dragons up 53-50 when Turtle Lake called time with 3:33 remaining. The Lakers scored the next five points on a field goal and three free throws to go up by two. Christianson stole a Laker pass and drove the length of the court to knot the game at 58 and then the heroics began. Kanaan Christianson led the Dragons in scoring with 19, all in the second half. Nathan Kosloski tallied 18 and Riley Churchill 13.

WEBSTER––“We transitioned well. We set the tempo and put pressure on their defense,” said Tiger coach Rob Scherrer following the 74-51 Webster win over the visiting Cumberland Beavers last Tuesday night. “We need to move our feet better and work on conditioning,” he added. “We’ve had some illness and injuries and we could see that (the shortage of conditioning) towards the end of the game.” Webster led 40-22 at the intermission. Jack Washburn led the Tigers with 11 points in the first half with Trevor Gustafson adding nine. Tanner Pardun had eight which included two three point shots. With time called at the 11:01 mark of the first half, Webster had just a three point edge at 13-10, but then the Tigers went on a 9-2 run. Gustafson had five and Washburn four.

They came away with an impressive 66-53 win despite missing a couple of key players in seniors Luke Anderson and Tyrell Brande. “Proud of these guys,” head coach Nick Hallberg said. “We came in short handed with football injuries and with very few practices, but everyone stepped up.” “A great way to start the new season. The boys really played a solid, complete game on both ends of the floor.” The Pirates held a 10 point lead at halftime, 34-24, and stayed consistant the second half

adding 32 to their score. The big guys, Jared VanWatermeulen and Leo Chenal, led the charge for the Pirates. Chenal led all scorers with 23 points on the night with VanWatermeulen close behind with 21. “Jared and Leo controlled the paint for the better part of the night,” Coach Hallberg said of his bigs. Austin Wedin added eight points which included a perfect four for four night at the foul line. David MacKean also chipped in with eight points including two long shots from behind the arc. Freshman Carson Knutson had four points in his first varsity action, and Gabe Chenal rounded out the list with two points.

Second half struggles cost Pirates STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

AMERY—“This is a loss that will make us better,” Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg said. “We learned a lot about what it takes to close games out, but unfortunately we let this one get away from us.” Despite holding a double digit lead for much of the game, offensive second half struggles cost the Pirates their first loss of the season at the hands of the Amery Warriors, 56-50, on Thursday night. The Warriors hit six second half three-pointers to over take the Pirates to take the win. Grantsburg had a big first half, racking up 33 points while holding the Warriors to 23 to head into the locker room with a comfortable lead at the break. Austin Wedin was on fire, hitting four three-point-

ers along with two free throws to lead the Pirate first half scoring with 14. Jared VanWatermeulen was a strong presence down low adding 10 points to the first half campaign. The second half was a different story with the Pirates only able to muster up 17 points compared to 33 for the Warriors. “We played well in the first half, and Austin and Jared carried us offensively,” Coach Hallberg said. “The second half was a struggle for us on that end. Amery outplayed us in some key areas. Can’t expect to win when that happens.” Wedin was the top scorer for the Pirates with 17 followed closely by VanWatermeulen with 16. Leo Chenal added seven and Tyrell Brande had four. David MacKean and Gabe Chenal chipped in three points each to end the scoring for the Pirates.

OBITUARIES

Rocky Cook

Walter Joseph Benedix Jr.

Ellery J. Vollrath

“Some people, make the world a better place just by being in it.” Rocky was one of those. Rockne Luther Cook was born December 8, 1955, in Grantsburg Wisconsin, to Ruby and Bill Cook. He was baptized and confirmed in Laketown Luthera an Church, and although he p preferred listening to church sservices on TV rather than p physically attending, he p proudly professed to be a lifellong Lutheran. He enjoyed his school years w where he played football and m made many treasured friendsships, graduating high school in 1974. Rocky worked road construction with Alexander, and Taylor Paving, along with working the farm. For many years Rocky enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time with his friends. He often said “I’ve done everything I’ve ever wanted to do.” After our brother, Kevin, and our mom died Rocky found comfort staying home as much as possible. Surrounded by the peaceful quietness of the family farm, he often stated, “I have everything I need right here.” He had Jenny and Chance, his two loyal dogs, family and friends coming and going, a four wheeler to check out the woods and pastures, a TV to watch Andy Griffith, and a land line phone to call and check on all those whom he loved and cared about. He found much pleasure looking over the fields watching the birds and wild life. Rocky was known for regularly calling his sisters and brothers, keeping everyone informed on family news, expressing his opinions on numerous subjects, and always ended those calls with “Ten four, over and out.” He kept us connected, a gift we never fully appreciated. Because we swept a few floors and made a few meals we sometimes thought of ourselves as watching over Rocky, but the truth is he had become the nucleus of our family, the soul, the conscience, the heart. Rocky enjoyed reading the local papers and knowing what was going on in the community. He was so interested in others that even when he was terribly sick he asked the nurses about their lives and jobs, sometimes teasing and making jokes. He had our father’s charm and charisma and our mother’s generosity and compassion. When we came to visit, whether it was a bouquet of flowers, a squash or fresh fish he never wanted anyone to leave empty handed. Then if it was late or bad weather conditions he would call one more time to make sure we got home safely. Rocky was an honest man of strong opinions who also let us know what he hated. He hated greed and materialism. His mantra was “Less is More.” He hated restlessness and didn’t understand why people wanted to be going places all the time. He was outraged any time he ever heard reports of people being abusive or unkind to animals. He hated when people were too serious when they could be laughing and joking around, and he really hated when people had their heads down in “those stupid cell phones.” Rocky was terribly ill and suffered greatly the 16 days he was in the hospital. With courage and grace he fought so very hard to get better. He wanted more than anything to go home to his beloved dogs. We hoped and prayed and wanted more than anything to bring him home. In the end he did go home. When God reached out His loving arms Rocky by passed Atlas for an upgrade to a home where there would be no suffering, no pain, no stupid cell phones. We know he knew we were there with him until the end. We know he knew how much we loved him and always will, and if he could have, we’d like to think he would have said good bye one more time in his own special way, “Ten four, over and out.” Rocky was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Ruby Cook; brother, Kevin Cook; brother in-law Charlie Anderson, several aunts and uncles, and several dear friends. He is survived by brothers, Scott Cook, Kerry Cook; sisters, Melody (Tom)Hutton; Crystal (Ozzie) Berntson; Claire (Chris) Chinander; Marigen (Rev. Roger)Kastelle; Sister-in-law, Jill Cook, nieces; Trinity Greenquist, McKenna Paydon, nephews; Torey Hutton, Kirt and Ben Cook, Gabriel and Dominic Berntson, Bjorn, Trygve, and Leif Chinander; Ethan Cook, many other relatives and friends, and his beloved dogs, Jenny and Chance. To honor Rocky’s wishes a private family graveside service will be held.

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pardon? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free for the asking

Pastor Dave Prince Trade Lake Baptist

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. I know of two turkeys who had reason to be thankful this year. Both Peas and Carrots were pardoned by President Trump, set free to live out their lives without fear of becoming someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner. For either turkey to reject the pardon and end up a meal would be unthinkable. But in 1829 the unthinkable happened. A man, George Wilson was convicted of robbery and murder and sentenced to be hanged. Friends intervened and were able to get President Andrew Jackson to pardon

him. George refused the pardon but the sheriff was unwilling to hang a man pardoned by the president. The case went to the Supreme Court where Chief Justice Marshall ruled that a pardon was just a piece of paper and the value depends on the acceptance of the person implicated. If George refused to accept it then it is not a pardon and George must be hanged. So George was hanged even though his pardon lay on the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk. Unlike the turkeys who did not do anything wrong, we all need to be pardoned. We
