Village board suspends officer JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN–– The Siren Village board suspended police officer Trevor Thiex for 30 days following his OWI conviction. The announcement was made at the monthly village board meeting last week. Village President Dave Alden said it was village policy that Thiex be suspended 30 days from the police department. The board will have a closed session meeting on Dec. 14 to discuss and make a decision on his future with the department. “This situation is not helpful, because as you know, the police department has been very busy,” Alden said. Thiex was convicted of OWI with a passenger under the age of 16 in Shawano County on Dec. 1 and was already suspended from his duties

with the Burnett County Sheriff’s department where he serves as a deputy. Siren Chief of Police, Chris Sybers gave his monthly police report. He stated that cases for the month of November were down, but that it was a misleading statistic because his department is still dealing with the cases from other previous months. “Last year, we had 38 cases and this years it’s 44,” Sybers said. “Follow-up on cases has increased, we’re still working on last month’s 74 and before that 66 cases.” Mobilitie had a representative at the meeting who was there to answer any questions. He said the company is in the preliminary phases of the project. So far they have picked out a site for the proposed 120-foot tower by the Gandy Dancer Trail. Chief Sybers wanted to make

sure that their proposed site would need approval from the FAA and the Mobilitie representative insured Sybers that the company runs all proposals for towers by the FAA before construction. The Mobilitie representative went on to explain that the mobile carrier Sprint would be using the tower. Other actions, • The village board approved to replace boat dock at Crooked Lake Park. • The board also discussed the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for the Southeast Neighborhood Project that would deal with replacing drainage systems. The discussion also talked about linking trails and walkways for the senior center and Gandy Dancer Trail.

GOVERNMENT CENTER –– The Public Safety meeting last week had both the District Attorney and Judge making apperances. District Attorney William Norine spoke at the meeting about his department and Circuit Court Judge Melissia Mogen talked about her start in the county and ways to make the Government Center more effective. “Last year, we had about 150 felony cases and this year we’re already at 300,” Norine said. “That’s twice as many, with the same number of prosecutors.” Judge Mogen Mogen stated that last week there were three different judges from outside of the county. She said that it is difficult being kicked out of her courtroom and had a suggestion on how to temporarily solve the problem. “As you know, our county has seen a big increase in caseload and we have visiting judges here at minimum three days per week,” Mogen said. “I know we don’t have funds right now to build a second courtroom, but I am a brainstormer and I try to think of ways we can do things more efficiently without spending a lot of money.” Mogen explained that with a few adjustments the board room at the Government Center, that is used for the county board of supervisors, could be slightly modified to be a second courtroom to accommodate visiting judges. She went on to talk about opening up one of the tables for the witness stand and how her laptop is too slow and needs a CCAP computer. CCAP is a case management system the courts use. Mogen also talked about the tremendous workload her department is facing. She gave an example of one day at work having 705 criminal cases, when she checked it the next day it was up to 789 criminal cases. “Most of these are felony cases involving meth and heroin,” Mogen said. “This is a true epidemic and I’m not sure what to do about it.” She described her efforts to make people more responsible in her courtroom and respecting the court. She said she is already noticing a difference. SEE MOGEN, PAGE 2

MOGEN: proposes second courtroom

Sentinel’s Christmas Celebration card winner to be announced next week

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Judge Mogen explains to the committee how to economically open up a second courtroom. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“It trickles all the way down to law enforcement,” Mogen said. “I’m working on building respect, respecting our county and respecting our legal system.” Mogen ended her time at the meeting saying that she is hoping to find an answer to the methamphetamine problem in Burnett

County and that it begins with people accepting responsibility for their actions. Sheriff Wilhelm Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said he is concerned for his officers mental health. “I’m concerned with the things they’ve seen and have had to process,” Wilhelm said. “Arrests are

up and the jail is full.” Wilhelm said his department has gotten a lot of calls from people threatening suicide. “It’s about officer safety,” Wilhelm said about trying to stop suicidal people. “On most of those calls, we stay outside and let them sober up.”

Gov. Walker northern director hears from county JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER – Last Thursday MaryAnn Lippert, Director of the Northern Regional office of the Governor, held a listening session for Burnett County community leaders and it was open to the public. The session touched on Wisconsin’s transportation budget, the methamphetamine epidemic and other economic hardships facing the county. “My job is to be the Governor’s eyes and ears in the northern part of the state,” Lippert said . “I connect the communities in the north with help from the capitol.” Transportation Budget Siren Chief of Police, Chris Sybers was at the listening session and explained how the transportation budget is a big problem. Sybers said he was on a committee to give the Governor ideas on how to help the budget, but none of the committees ideas were followed up on. “We wanted to raise the gas tax by 2 cents. That alone could have created almost $1.5 million a year,” Sybers said. “We also suggested raising the (vehicle) registrations fees $10, from $75 to $85; that would have been $2.5 million a year. That’s almost a $4 million annual increase.” Sybers added that the public understands the extra money will go to the roads and would have paid it. Economic Development Community leaders in attendance spoke about how they do not operate like urban counties that the Governor is used to dealing with. “Northern Wisconsin is very frugal,” said County Administrator Nate Ehalt. “They are always thinking about future generations.” Ehalt explained that he expected a $6 million highway project to be paid for over 25 years, but it was voted to be paid back in 10 because of the community foresight about debt. He also spoke about taxes and that the levy increase for this year will cover the cost of software management for the county. Ehalt added that services provided by the county will continue to be cut if taxes are not increased. Meth epidemic Chief Sybers explained to Lippert that Burnett

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

MaryAnn Lippert explains that she works for the Governor, although a lot of what was discussed dealt with the legislative branch of the state government.

County was the first in the state to introduce drug court and was also the first county in the state that had the meth diversion program. “Drug court can only take care of 12 people because of the cost,” Sybers said. “The meth diversion program only has 10 spots.” Sybers said he spoke with Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel about getting more money to sheriff departments and local law enforcement in the northern part of the state for dealing with meth and heroin. When Sybers saw the budget, that money was nowhere to be found. “We know the Governor doesn’t want to raise taxes,” Sybers said. “We have a very dedicated law enforcement unit up here, but we have major budget constraints.” “I give you my word. I will let him know,” Lippert promised community leaders in attendance that their insight will get back to Gov. Walker.

Danbury men charged with arson JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

DANBURY–– Two Danbury men have been charged with arson of building, a class C felony. Rusty Matrious, 24 and Kawliga Tucker, 18 were also charged with first-degree reckless injury, a class D felony and first-degree recklessly endangering safety, a class F felony. Matrious was also charged with resisting an officer, a class A misdemeanor. Tucker was charged with underage drinking. According to the criminal complaint, officers were dispatched to a structure fire on Lake 26 Road on Nov. 25 just after midnight. Matrious Matrious and his mother, Claudette, were allegedly fighting. He told his mother that he started the fire. Claudette was inside when the fire started. She was seriously injured and screaming for help and ultimately airlifted out because of the burns she received. The criminal complaint states that both subjects looked highly Tucker intoxicated. It also says “since this hil persons were inside, it was done was d done while with utter disregard for human life.” Around 3:30 a.m. Matrious and Tucker were talking on the phone with someone and Tucker was throwing up. Tucker allegedly said he was with Matrious when he started the fire. He also allegedly told police during transportation, “I did the crime; I have to do the time.” Multiple witnesses told police that Matrious and Tucker started the fire at Claudette’s residence. Matrious and Tucker are both due in court for initial appearances on Dec. 13.

World Peace JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

It is a quaint idea isn’t it? Unreachable in the world we live in, but quaint indeed. It shows up in books, music, religion and beauty pageants. The entire world at peace. I mean real peace, not this eternal struggle to find peace in the distant future. I’m talking about obtaining and living in a world without war. It’s difficult for many in my generation to imagine what world peace looks like. Most of my contemporaries believe we’re in too deep to stop fighting, on both sides of the spectrum. I’ve got friends on the right that believe we need to keep fighting for our freedoms. Then I’ve got friends on the left that assume the machine that keeps the industrial military complex running cannot Sentinel be stopped. I have been alive for just over a Editor quarter of a century and during Jonathan Richie that time there has been a lot of war. I was born on the day the first Gulf War ended. A war that was fought because of oil, which means money. I was in the fifth grade when the 9/11 attacks happened. My class was waiting for school to begin when I heard one of the cool kids say, “You don’t even know what happened.” “Yeah, I do,” one of the other cool kids said. “A plane flew into both buildings in New York.” He didn’t have all the information. A few moments later we were sitting at our desks when the principal came over the loud speaker explaining the events and advising teachers to be delicate about having this difficult conversation about the attacks with school children. That was when the War on Terror began and still exists today. From that moment the school was covered in American flags. All students were given a tiny flag sometime in October and we marched around the school. The school took pictures and plastered them all over the walls. That was our introduction to war and it’s been racheted up exponentially since then. “War on Terror” is such an interesting phrase. We will continue to fight for freedom and world peace will continue to be a phrase always seen as a mirage in our lexicon. According to Business Insider, In 2015 the United States spents $601 billion on defense. Just a few billion shy of what we spend on education, $634 billion. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could spend more on educating than protecting and killing? Lastly, the reason we fight so many wars is because we cannot help it. The United States likes being the world police, so we can protect ourselves, it’s just not ideal if world peace is the actual end goal. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Hunting down the perfect gift BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

We are getting nearer to crunch time for Christmas gift giving. Have you figured out the “perfect” gift for everyone on your list? If you have, bully for you. If not, there’s still some time. This time of the year, I recall my nearly obsessive From the Publisher’s hunt over twenty years ago for the Desk “Holy Grail” gift for my two young Tom Stangl daughters. IIt was 1995 and online shopping had not yet appeared on the scene as a widely accepted form of commerce, so searching for gifts involved phone calls, emails and catalogs. My daughters were in kindergarten and sixth grade, and the go-to “cool” clothing accessory of the time was a hooded pull over winter jacket made by Starter. The jackets were in team colors and logos, licensed by the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball League (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL) and Major League Baseball (MLB). If you were a youth or had children during this era, you will remember the jackets.

In 1995, the NBA had just expanded into Toronto, Canada. The Raptors were the new franchise with purple and black as their team colors and a logo of a velociraptor in uniform dribbling a ball. My sister, who has lived in Toronto for years with her family, had purchased t-shirts with the logo for my family. My daughters loved the colors and the logo and wanted to have Starter jackets with the team colors. For years, my daughters had to have identical gifts. Locating a jacket for the sixth grader was difficult, but possible. Finding a jacket in youth sizes was much more difficult. I checked with JC Penney, a specialty sporting goods store at the local mall and a couple of mail order sporting goods companies. I had my sister in Canada search for a jacket in youth sizes to no avail. They had Toronto Raptors Starter jackets, but not in youth sizes. Undaunted, I decided to go to the source. I called the Toronto Raptors team offices. They were a bit surprised to hear from a person from the Midwestern United States and tried to be helpful. Since it was the team’s first year, many of the items had sold out quickly and they were unable to help. I ordered a small adult jacket that I found in a catalog, but the jacket would have been far too

large for my youngest daughter. What had become a challenge had turned into an obsession for me. I simply HAD to get the jacket for both daughters or I would be a failure as a parent. We’ve all been there, brainwashed by our material society into believing that a thing is what would bring happiness. Well, with six-year olds, things do bring happiness. I continued to look for other sporting goods companies, making numerous calls. It was Wausau based Eastbay that came through for me, offering the jacket in youth sizes. I placed the order by phone and the jacket was just the right size. That Christmas and in subsequent winters, my daughters were the “cool kids” at the bus stop with their purple Starter jackets that had the red dinosaur logo.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

New commission seeks to overhaul school funding formula WISPOLITICS.COM

School aid is up dramatically in the new budget, but lawmakers are looking deeper amid conflict with Gov. Scott Walker over money to rural schools. A new legislative commission – the first ever – is now seeking to overhaul the state’s school funding formula. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald touted the commission’s formation, saying it’s time to make updates to better meet the needs of students. “The school funding formula was first created in the 1970s, and a review hasn’t been done in 20 years,” said Vos, R-Rochester. “Times have changed, state demographics have changed, and of course, schools have changed; it’s time to examine the way we pay for schools.” “Every child should have access to a quality education in Wisconsin,” said Fitzgerald., R-Juneau. “With declining enrollments in more than half of the state’s school districts, a thorough analysis is necessary to ensure the process is transparent, equitable and delivers excellent schools today and in the future.” The Blue Ribbon Commission on School Funding will be led by co-chairs Rep. Joel Kitchens, R-Sturgeon Bay, and Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon. It will examine how

tax dollars are distributed to schools and make recommendations to better meet the needs of students across Wisconsin. The launching of the commission comes after approval of a state budget that means a big boost in school aid. K-12 aid will grow 8.3 percent over two years to nearly $6 billion, the largest biennial jump since 2005-07, when it rose 9 percent, according to the non-partisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. Behind that boost were some disputes among Republicans. Assembly Republicans put a package in the budget to boost low-spending school districts by allowing them to collect more in property taxes. But Walker vetoed the plan due to his concerns over the impact on property tax bills. Instead, Walker later called on lawmakers to pump more state money into sparsity aid, which help small, rural schools. A plan authored by state Sen. Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green, and Rep. Jeffrey Mursau, R-Crivitz, mirrors the sparsity aid package Walker first included in his budget and carries a price tag of $9.7 million. Vos said the budget makes a historic investment in public schools and pointed out Assembly Republicans had a different approach to helping rural districts than the governor.

“We’re not going to go back and re-argue all of the battles we had in 2017 in the spring of ’18,” Vos told WisPolitics.com earlier in the fall. “For the most part, that issue is put to bed, and we’ll have the opportunity to come back in the next budget and discuss sparsity aid and low-spending school districts.” In addition to the co-chairs, the commission will feature seven members of the Legislature and seven education experts, including superintendents from Green Bay and Grantsburg, two representatives from Milwaukee-area Catholic schools, a UW-Madison professor and a member of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards. The lawmakers are: Sens. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills; Marklein; Dem gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma; Reps. Cody Horlacher, R-Mukwonago; Romaine Quinn, R-Rice Lake; Sondy Pope, D-Mt. Horeb; and Jason Fields, D-Glendale. The commission was to hold its first meeting in December, according to a statement from Vos and Fitzgerald. It will then travel around the state to hold public hearings starting next year, before making recommendations to legislative leaders before the end of session.

To the Editor: Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park was the sight of a most joyous holiday event, thanks in part to all the children, young and old, who came to celebrate the start of the holiday season at “Christmas at the Forts”. As Event Coordinator, I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the dedicated volunteers who worked so hard in bringing about such an enchanting event. A special thank you to the Webster and Siren Lions Clubs who donated fully decorated trees that will be given to Interfaith Caregivers. Thank you also to Friends of the Library, Burnett County 4-H Clubs, and the Webster High School National Honor Society for their help. Thank you to the Grantsburg, Siren, and Webster 4th grade students who participated in the art contest depicting the 2017 theme, Carol of the Voyageurs, as well as Webster’s 3rd grade students who contributed the beautiful decorations for the Santa house. My deepest gratitude goes to Pat and Lucy Basler and Jim and Kathy Helland (aka Mr. and Mrs. Claus couples) who delighted hundreds of children, listening to their Christmas wishes. Thank you all and Merry Christmas, Nancy Meindel

NATURAL CONNECTIONS

A Winter Day with Lois Nestel EMILY STONE

Fresh snow on the ground reflects moonlight, starlight, streetlights, and headlights, and it sometimes even seems to radiate its own ethereal luminescence. I’m grateful for the light that snow brings, since the sun itself is on such a tight schedule. Lois Nestel, the Museum’s founding naturalist and director, felt this darkness, too, but she still found time to watch the comings and goings in nature. She wrote: “We rise early and the business of the day gets underway while darkness still prevails. This morning the moon is the finest paring of a silver fingernail in a deep azure sky and in the east no light yet heralds the coming day. “The kitchen light sheds a glow upon the snow outside and silhouettes the cottontail that, crouched beneath the bird feeder, gleans the fallen seeds. It seems to feel no fear at being thus on stage. Perhaps the prominent brown eye stretches a little wider and the ears

are more alert, but the chewing does not cease nor do the busy paws that dig in rapid spurts to release seeds frozen in the snow. The grosbeaks had been thankfully messy yesterday and crumbs from their table were manna to the hungry animal. “At length, the food ran out, the rabbit was surfeited or it seemed expedient to go. But first a rapid washing of the face, paws flicking quickly over ears and whiskers and tongue touching up shoulders and chest.

For the nocturnal creatures, there are long nights to prowl, to forage and to hunt while darkness cloaks the activities revealed by tracks with the coming of the day.

large fierce-looking dragonfly larvae clinging to weed stems. “These weed stems are also often occupied by the strange, long-legged insects called water scorpions, often two-and-one-half inches long and rather resembling water-logged walking sticks. A giant water bug may swim by or a water boatman or backswimmer, as well as countless weaving, jerking, scooting, unnamed miniatures. Active and comfortable in the world beneath the ice, they quickly stiffen and become immobile if lifted out of the water. “The air above the ice holds life of other styles and, for most people, probably more appealing. A blue winter sky is a perfect background for the tumbling, joyful antics of a pair of ravens. Looping, rolling, diving, together and apart, they are the soul of carefree pleasure and the coarse “wauk, wauk” of their cries expresses complete approval of the warm trend in the weather.

er have been seen had the feeder been farther from the house. It was a nice way to start a winter day.” While a winter morning might start by watching animals find food at the bird feeder, a winter afternoon is perfect for searching out some food of your own. Lois was an excellent hunter, trapper, and angler. Here she writes about the joys of ice fishing. “Given the proper conditions, a day of ice fishing can produce some delightful fringe benefits, completely aside from the fish one may catch. Let it be, preferably, a sunny day and mild enough so the fishing holes do not freeze over too rapidly and, for my purposes, let those holes be in a lake with weeds. “Looking into the water is like glimpsing a mirrored reflection of summer when insect life abounds. Some of this is in larval form and especially apparent are the nymphs of mayflies swimming actively about in the cold water. Other larvae may be those of whirligig beetles, caddisflies or the

Little food pantry installed at library JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG–– Outside of the Grantsburg Library is a Little Free Pantry(LFP). The Grantsburg Rotary Club and Food Shelf teamed up with the library to make it possible. The LFP is a nation-wide effort that librarian Kristina Kelley-Johnson saw and soon began drafting a proposal. According to their website, “The LFP utilizes a familiar, compelling concept to pique local interest in and action against local food insecurity. The LFP offers a place around which neighbors might coalesce to meet neighborhood needs, whether for food or for fun.” The LFP outside of the Grantsburg library functions similarly to the idea of a little library, take what you need

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Bald eagle population reaches record high

MADISON—Wisconsin’s bald eagle population hit a record high this year. The Department of Natural Resources says air and ground surveys counted nearly 1,600 occupied nests statewide. The Journal Sentinel says that’s up nearly 6 percent from last year and

is the highest since the survey work began in 1973 when just 108 occupied nests were found. Bald eagles once struggled to the point of near extinction in the 1960s and early 1970s. A pesticide ban and state and federal protection laws helped stabilize and grow the population.

Terri Andersen runs the food shelf and donates some of it to the LFP. “Everyone should be giving back at this time of year,” Andersen said. Kelley-Johnson explained that the library staff is in charge of checking the LFP daily, to make sure nothing is expired and also stocks the LFP. She emphasized that this was important especially for kids, because they don’t have access to the Food Shelf. “It’s maintained by the library staff and fits about a dozen perishable food items,” Kelley-Johnson said. “The concept is simple, take what you need and give what you can.” People looking to donate can give funds directly to the Food Shelf. Donations of food or personal items can be placed right in the pantry.

Jury trial scheduled in fatal hit-and-run case JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– The jury trial of Domminic Angelo Richard Haugen is set to begin in June. He is charged with a fatal hit-and-run that led to the death of 30-year-old Courtney Oustigoff in June of 2016. If found guilty of the Class D Felony, Haugen faces up to 25 years in prison, up to a $100,000 fine, or both. According to the criminal complaint filed in Burnett County Court in February, Haugen Oustigoff was struck sometime after 10:53 p.m. the evening of June 14 and before 6:11 a.m. the morning of June 15. Burnett County Sheriff detectives received an anonymous tip that Haugen

had struck a female with his pickup truck and dragged her a distance. He then allegedly went home, cleaned the truck and then put animal blood on it to cover up the damage. Authorities seized the truck, and a search of the vehicle revealed a piece of cloth stuck between a clamp and a hose near the transmission. Additionally, officers detected an odor of decomposition by the driver’s side front tire once the tire was removed. Officers also collected mud caked in that area. The oil pan was damaged and some rigid fluid lines on the driver’s side of the transmission were bent – damage consistent with a strike to the vehicle from underneath. They found several areas of what appeared to be biological material on the vehicle undercarriage. Haugen remains in the custody of the Burnett County Jail.

There is no labor room inside the hospital in Gulu, northern Uganda, women give birth outdoors, day and night, in all kinds of weather. Diane Brask hopes to raise enough funds during December to fund “The Mary Labor Center” so women will be out of the elements until they go to the delivery room.

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

GRANTSBURG––A Burnett County woman who is an international missionary has taken on a special challenge during this Advent Season. It was the story of Jesus’ humble birth in a stable that inspired her goal. “The Christmas Season is the time we remember the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem,” said Diane Brask. “Jesus was born in challenging circumstances. Joseph and Mary made a 100 mile journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem by foot or on the back of a donkey. They found no housing vacancies in Bethlehem. Mary was a 14-year-old mother having her first baby without any medical personnel present. The birthplace was a common stable where animals were kept.” Not all birthing situations for women are the same. Brask has seen that firsthand in Uganda, where she has visited every year since 2006. She is the Founder and Executive Director of Global Seed Planters, a mission organization committed to taking the message of the love of Jesus to the ends of the earth. Her strongest emphasis for several years has been in Uganda, where the situation remains desperate and the needs are great. “Northern Uganda has been a living hell since the dictator Idi Amin in the 1970s, and no one has suffered more than women and children,” Brask said. Brask loves the Christmas Story. “But, my heart remains broken that nearly two billion people have no idea who Jesus is. They have never heard of a him before.” It is these unreached people that Brask and her organization have focused on. Her 17 years of mission work has taken her to 50 nations. Her work has included orphanages, clinics, Bible schools, agricultural development, translation projects, small businesses, solar audio players, Bible distribution, and the latest – drilling fresh water wells. Brask believes the Good News of Jesus should be both seen and heard. “Mary’s situation was

certainly crude, but at least she was inside a warm environment and had a roof over her head. The women in Uganda only wish they could be so fortunate,” Brask said. The scene outside the maternity ward of the hospital in the city of Gulu in northern Uganda is forever branded in Brask’s mind. When she was there earlier this year, she watched a woman writhing on the ground, rolling in the dirt as she labored in pain. “She was alone and afraid in her time of vulnerability. No husband by her side. No friend to wipe her sweaty brow. No drink of cool water to quench her thirst. No one to coach her through her pain. No nurse by her side to check her progress. No roof over her head to protect her from the elements. Not even a simple mattress to provide some comfort,” Brask said “She remained in that state until birth was imminent and she was brought into the delivery room to give birth. She was forced to stay outside in the elements simply because there was ‘no room in the Inn’ for her.” It was that day that a vision was conceived in Brask’s heart to help these women bring their precious babies into the world in a much needed, more comfortable facility. Her vision: To build a “Mary Labor Center” in Uganda. Where: At the Gulu Community Referral Hospital in Gulu, Uganda Why: Because nearly 5,000 vulnerable, underserved women are giving birth at this hospital every year and they have no facility to labor in before they are brought into the delivery room. Until the moment of delivery is imminent, they are forced to labor outside on the ground, in the heat of the sun or the drenching rain until birth. There simply is “no room in the Inn.” When: “We would like to raise the funds in this month of December as we remember Mary and Joseph and the challenges they faced on their long journey to Bethlehem,” Brask said. Cost: $35,000, including $25,000 for the building plus $10,000 to furnish it

NEWSLINE Mike Myers update The following is a short clip from Mike Myers as he has been battling leukemia. “Well it has been awhile since you have heard from me, and it’s me, Mike, this time. It has been almost a year since my stem cell transplant and stay at U of M Medical Center. I had my one year biopsy on December 4, 2017 and received my initial results back. My test results so far are exactly what we want for Christmas “NO EVIDENCE OF LEUKEMIA! I’m waiting on one more set of tests specific to the details of my acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). My doctor is confident that these detailed tests will confirm the great news! Initial tests show that my bone marrow is now 100 percent donor cells. (This means I am a chimera because, genetically, my blood is the donor’s DNA and all my other cells contain my DNA.) This the goal of the bone marrow transplant —new blood cells which do not contain the genetic mutation (Philadelphia chromosome). I am continuing weekly appointments at the U of MN clinic, so the doctors can monitor my blood counts, especially my white blood cells (the disease fighters). My creatinine levels, which are a test of kidney functioning, continue to be a bit

high. This is probably due to the immunosuppressant (tacrolimus) medication which can be tough on the kidneys, causing elevated creatinine levels. I never imagined the process would take this long. It has definitely been a journey of patience for me! Chronic fatigue, lack of appetite, and my overall mouth condition are daily reminders that the body needs time to heal from a transplant. I have returned to work on a part-time basis and hope that I can continue to improve health-wise, so I can return to work full-time in the very near future. I have three weeks left of my immunosuppressesant and hopefully, after that, my appointments will be just monthly. With all that said, I have so many things to be thankful for! The support I have from Lucy, the kids, extended family, friends, and community is incredible! I can’t comprehend how anyone could go through something like this with minimal support. When I see patients arriving at the clinic alone, it reminds me of all I have been given. The many continued prayers from all our friends and family are strength. From my family to yours, may your holiday season be joyful and blessed!” Mike

If water (hot or cold or both) stops coming to a fixture during really cold weather, there is a good chance it is due to a frozen pipe. When this occurs, try to locate the frozen section of pipe if possible. Do your best to stop the source of cold air, and introduce a source of heat. Be careful not to start a fire. If you have to leave the house while you have a frozen pipe, shut the water off to the house before you leave. That way, if the pipe is cracked or broken, it won’t flood the house in the event that it thaws out when you are gone. A broken pipe is capable of doing a lot of flood damage within a matter of minutes. Never turn your thermostat down too low, especially in an older house. 45 degrees at the thermostat might mean below freezing temps in some corners of the house or crawl space. We recommend maintaining at least 60 degrees unless you have drained all of your pipes.

Youth book illustration contest announced CABLE—The Cable Natural History Museum is hosting a youth book illustration contest to encourage a connection between literacy, nature, and art. Museum Naturalist/Education Director Emily Stone is publishing a second book of her popular weekly newspaper articles as a fundraiser for youth programming at the Museum. Since kids are often the inspiration for her articles, the Museum is conducting an art contest for students to illustrate some of the chapters. The hope is that students will read some chapters, learn something about the plants and animals in those chapters, do a little more research on their own, and then create black-and-white line drawings based on their research. The best and most relevant illustration for each chapter will be included in the book. Entries must be postmarked by January 15, 2018. The contest is open to youth who are age 5-19, on the deadline

date. Youth older than 19 who are still enrolled in high school are eligible, but college students, even if 19 or younger, are not. Teachers are encouraged to use this contest to inspire their students to read, learn about nature, and create a unique work of art. Entry forms and more information can be found at: http:// cablemuseum.org/connect/ The mission of the Cable Natural History Museum is connecting people to Northwoods nature through educational experiences that inspire wonder, discovery, and responsibility. For over 45 years, the Museum has served to connect you to the Northwoods. Find them on the web at www. cablemuseum.org to learn more about their exhibits and programs.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING AG defends holding off suing drug makers over opioids MADISON—Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel is defending his decision to hold off on suing drug companies over the country’s opioid overdose epidemic. Nearly 50 Wisconsin counties have filed a federal lawsuit alleging pharmaceutical companies precipitated the opioid problem by using deceptive marketing campaigns to sell prescription painkillers. Schimel has promised opioids would be his top priority. Asked why the state Justice Department hasn’t filed a similar lawsuit, he said he has joined a 41-state coalition that is investigating the companies and the role they may have played in creating the epidemic. He says the coalition has broader discovery powers than the counties alone, helping it gather more information quickly. He pointed to an op-ed he wrote in November that said the investigation could yield a settlement without court delays.

There are times when all children display behaviors that are less than ideal. As children mature and caregivers model and teach effective ways of communicating and dealing with strong emotions, most children develop appropriate social-emotional skills to communicate with others, handle their emotions appropriately and begin to develop healthy relationships. However, for some children challenging behaviors are more intense, last longer and can be inappropriate for their age. These behaviors can interfere with a child’s learning and ability to develop and keep social relationships. Here are a few reasons as to why children may express challenging behavior. 1)Behavior is a form of communication so your child may use a behavior such as a tantrum to express a feeling. 2)There is always a reason for challenging behaviors. Children use behavior to get something or to avoid something. 3) Challenging behavior continues when it is effective so as long as the child gets what they want, they will continue the behavior. You can prevent some challenging behaviors by having a regular routine, having age appropriate activities, providing them choices, such as playing with this toy or this one and giving them plenty of warning before moving to a new activity. It is also important to model appropriate social/emotional interactions. Children need to be taught appropriate behaviors, given many reminders and lots of opportunities to practice. Here are some examples of social/emotional skills you can teach your child: •Taking turns, sharing and how to comfort a friend. •Problem solving skills. Let your child help you problem solve what to make for dinner. •Have clear and age appropriate consequences when rules are not followed. Enforce them fairly and consistently with all children. •Draw attention to and celebrate appropriate behavior. The more we praise appropriate behavior the more appropriate behavior children will exhibit. Not all children are the same or respond the same way. If you are struggling with parenting, do not be afraid to ask for help. Consider asking a friend, talking with a pediatrician, your child’s teacher or county birth to three program. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

Humane Society renovation to begin SIREN—The Board of Directors of the Humane Society of Burnett County, Inc. is pleased to announce that, through the encouragement of key individuals in our community and significant financial support of Hugh Schilling they are ready to move forward with renovating an existing building to become the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption and Education Center managed by HSBC! The HSBC management team has done a detailed business case assessment and have aligned that the space available for existing and future programs on their roadmap is sufficient. They will announce the full project plans in the next month as the purchase of the location is finalized. Animal rescue is hard work. Thankless hours, never enough hands to get the job done the right way, always something more to do and another animal in need. It is imperative to always have your eye on the ball, pulse on the community, and vision that meets your mission

statement. Humane Society of Burnett County announced earlier this year that they had evaluated what was needed to support building a new facility and realized they were not in a position to take that on at the time. They spent the last eight months reviewing internal policies and procedures and building the required framework at all levels of the organization that are required for an organization to be self-sufficient. Now the real work begins. HSBC has successfully raised almost ¾ of the necessary funds not only to renovate the location , but also complete the interior design of the shelter (make it move in ready!). They will be kicking off a capital campaign early in 2018 to finalize the fundraising needed to complete this major community enhancing project. Please keep an eye out or contact Alexia Gannon by at hsbc@centurytel.net or 612-968-1946 to find out what you can do now to support this major event in HSBC’s history!

My ﬁve favorite cookbooks from 2017 SUBMITTED

First deer Nine-year-old Eli Zeller of Grantsburg shot his ﬁrst buck on Friday, November 24 using the 30-30 his grandpa handed down to him.

CONNECTIONS: Lois Nestel CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

Crows, more businesslike, and purposeful, wing their way swiftly from shore to shore, their sharp cawing a pleasant sound in the quiet of winter. “A swirl of pine siskins sweeps overhead like wind-driven leaves, their sweet twitterings as ephemeral as mist. In dry weeds along the shore, snow buntings feed, and farther back, among the trees, woodpeckers hammer and call above the notes of nuthatches and chickadees. If it is a lucky day, the eagle will soar above adjacent open water, his gleaming head and tail seeming whiter than the underlying snow as they catch the rays of the winter sun. “If fish are caught, that’s great. Ostensibly, that’s what we went for. But even without them, the day is full and rich with life that doesn’t know that winter is a time for complaints and curtailed activities. That behavior is reserved for humans who have lost the happy faculty of accepting and living each day to the fullest – with joy, without regret.”

For the past year I’ve been sharing Lois’s writings with you once a month in order to celebrate the Museum’s 50th birthday year. That year is coming to a close, but hopefully, like Lois, you also are able to live each day with the joy that comes from observing and appreciating nature.

Lois Nestel wrote, “If ﬁsh are caught, that’s great. Ostensibly, that’s what we went for. But even without them, the day is full and rich with life that doesn’t know that winter is a time for complaints and curtailed activities.”

Close to the end of the year, famous people start posting their book list. Bill Gates posted his “must read” list last week. They seem very thoughtful and most have a global flare. I’d really like to read a few of them. Must read lists inspire me. They expose me to new ideas, people and concepts. Occasionally, I’m lead to think the book Wild Chow must be awesome if some smart, famous Lisa Erickson person read it. Not always. I’ve read many books that were recommended, but just because others liked it doesn’t mean I will like it. That is not the case with cookbooks. I like every cookbook and books about food. Reading cookbooks is very satisfying. Sometimes even better than cooking because there is no mess to clean up! My mind can conjure up the flavors and I can even get an idea of what the finished dish will taste like. It’s the next best thing to cooking. I read many cookbooks this year, some old, some new. A few were standouts and I think they are worth picking up! Here are my five favorite cookbooks from 2017. Green Kitchen at Home by David and Luise Vindahl. The photos in this book are stunning! The book is perfect for vegetarians. There are many fun and interesting recipes that your family will gobble up. They won’t miss the meat.

Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi. This cookbook is my new favorite. I find myself going back to it again and again for inspiration. The food is Mid-Eastern and what you would typically find in Israel — obviously. Most of the dishes are fresh and inspire me to eat clean. The many photos of people on the street show what life is like there. It makes me want to visit! The Midwestern Table by Amy Thielen. I know this book has been out for a while, but I never got around to reading it. It makes me feel at home. Thielen’s little stories make me remember my grandparents. The recipes are very good and fun. This is a great gift for someone who doesn’t live in the Midwest anymore. Fat for Fuel by Dr. Mercola. I know this is not a cookbook, but I had to add it. It was eye-opening because it made me think differently about the way I eat and what I eat. This would be a great gift for a health conscious person. The book claims to boost brainpower and energy — we all need more of that! The Book of Cheese by Liz Thorpe. If you like cheese this is the only book you need. The book is the best catalog of cheeses I’ve ever read, and trust me, I think I’ve read every book about cheese published in the last 10 years! The recipes are easy and trendy, showcasing cheese in a new light. It’s the perfect gift for that cheese lover! The best gifts are the ones that keep on giving. Cookbooks do just that!

MEDICAL ADVICE in the winter?

Dry skin is especially common in the winter months. When the humidity level Debra Hammer, CNM outside drops and the air outside is cold and dry, the water in your skin evaporates more quickly making your skin feel dry and tight. Remember to cover up your skin when you are outside, regularly apply moisturizing lotion, and stay hydrated. Furthermore, dry indoor air not only dries out your skin, but it also leads to dry, chapped lips, dry noses (nosebleeds), and dry throat (hoarseness, sore throat). Using a humidifier at night will replace the moisture in the air that gets sucked out by dry indoor heat. The humidifier helps hydrate dry skin and soothes chapped lips, dry throat, and nasal passages. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

system still work?

All systems that our company install not only have a constant power supply from your house power,r Peter Ward they all include a “backup battery” as well. This battery ensures that even during a power outage your system will continue to operate as normal and will continue to communicate with central station should a breach of security occur. These backup batteries will keep your system running typically for 24-36 hours with no interruptions. Once power is restored to your home, the backup batteries will recharge themselves and be ready for any future power outages that might occur. It is important to note that during a power outage you will receive a message from central station of “AC power failure” which is to let you know that power is out at your residence. These backup batteries typically have a life of 3-5 years depending on how often power failures occur. It is important to have your system inspected and for those batteries to be tested. In the next “ask the expert” I will address how often your security system should be inspected.

Not too much eggnog or maybe you’ve already heard that one Christmas song you just can not get out of your head! I keep hearing that one about a hippopotamus! We’re taking a little break until after the holidays to continue with our construction (updating) projects. Please understand our extra piles of supplies as part of the décor.

I think winter is here. It sure looks and feels like it. Eighteen came to play bingo and enjoy the treats furnished by Nancy. Harry and Diane split the big pot. There will be no bingo on December 20 and December 27. Happy Holidays to all. We will see you again on Wednesday January 3, 2018. Pat O. was the winner at pool and Millie won at Dominoes. Wii bowling was once again exciting. Bill B. had high individual game and series, 226 and 430. The Shakers had high team game 728 and The Little Weasels had high team game 1434. Splits picked up were Vickie 2-7-8, Barry 2-10, Gordy 4-5-7, Fred 4-5-7 and Jim 4-6-10. We will bowl again this week December 15, and then we will be off until January 5. Remember, if Webster Schools are closed due to the weather, the Senior Center is also closed and no activities. Our next monthly meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday December 19. Hope to see you there. The next Horse Race will be Saturday January 14. We will also have a pot luck that day. More information later. Remember yesterday and dream about tomorrow, but live for today.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL PARTISAN PRIMARY AND SAMPLE BALLOTS December 19, 2017 OFFICE OF THE BURNETT COUNTY CLERK TO THE ELECTORS OF BURNETT COUNTY: Notice is hereby given of a special partisan primary to be held in the several cities, villages, towns, wards and election districts in Burnett County on Tuesday, December 19, 2017, at which the nominees for the of¿ce named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for the of¿ce, whose nominations have been certi¿ed to or ¿led in this of¿ce, are given under the title of the of¿ce under the appropriate party, each in its proper column, in the sample ballot below. INFORMATION TO ELECTORS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identi¿cation and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence if the elector provides proof of residence. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector

shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election of¿cial may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the of¿cial may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice. At the special partisan primary, the voter shall select the party of his or her choice. Voting for candidates of more than one party may invalidate the ballot. A voter must cast a vote for an individual candidate. Where Paper Ballots are Used The voter shall choose the ballot of the party of his or her choice. If the voter votes on more than one party ballot, no votes will be counted. On the party ballot of his or her choice, the voter shall make a mark (X) in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each of¿ce for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. Where Touch Screen Voting Systems are

Used The voter shall touch the screen at the party of his or her choice. The voter shall then touch the screen at the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each of¿ce for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than ¿ve minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in marking his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked. If a voter spoils a paper ballot, he or she shall return it to an election of¿cial who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election of¿cial, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. The voter may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

After Marking the Ballot After an of¿cial paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors' initials on the outside do show. The voter shall then deposit the voted ballot in the ballot box (or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit), deposit the un-voted ballots in the discard box, and leave the polling place promptly. After an of¿cial touch screen ballot is cast, the voter shall leave the polling place promptly. A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding of¿cial that he or she is unable to read, has dif¿culty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter's employer or an agent of that employer or an of¿cer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter. The following is a sample of the of¿cial ballot: /s/ Wanda Hinrichs, Burnett County Clerk

Gymnasts open the season at the Chippewa Fall’s Snowﬂake Invitational CHIPPEWA FALLS—Last Saturday, the Grantsburg-Luck-Unity-Webster gymnasts began their season at Chippewa Falls, placing seventh. River Falls won the meet with 138.875 points with Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Hudson, Platteville, and Holmen ahead of them. Said Coach Kathy Lund, “Jeni Petersen was our top performer, placing fifth in the All Around, scoring a 33.20. She was solid and consistent throughout the meet. Kate Weiss placed fourth on vault scoring a personal best with an 8.55. Alethea Simmons stepped into Varsity All Around scoring personal best on the bars, beam and in the All Around.” “Both Allison Peterson and Kate Weiss were the only stick beam routines. At the meet, we made changes to the line-up due to injuries. Kaylee Hol was pulled from our first event and Karissa Strohschein from our last event. I was very proud how this team kept stepping up, each event they did better, starting out with eight falls on the uneven bars was pretty tough. On the

beam, we had some more falls. Floor was exciting and on vault everyone hit.” The next meet is Monday, December 18 at Rice Lake.

Pirates notch another win BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Pirates hosted the Glenwood City Hilltoppers on Saturday afternoon for a matinee non-conference match-up, and added another win to their resume to go to 4-0 on the young season. They took this one 69-48. The Pirates took control early,

grabbed a lead and never looked back. They racked up 33 first half points while holding the Hilltoppers to just 10. Grantsburg’s defense is relentless as they pick off passes, set up traps and force turnovers that they can capitlize on for easy points. “We started fast on both ends of the floor,” Pirates coach Nick SEE PIRATES ON PAGE 24

On Tuesday, December 5th, I settled in to do play-by-play for a non-conference boys basketball game between Grantsburg and Cumberland on my website, We Are Grantsburg. The main storyline in my mind was whether the basketball game would have as many total points scored as the football game had in the fall, 124. Cumberland QB Kobe Berghammer passed for 531 yards and seven touchdowns. Grantsburg running back John Chenal ran for 435 yards and six touchdowns. Berghammer and Chenal would share the spotlight again on the hardwood. The following is the final moments of the game from my perspective. Begin transcript. Grantsburg leads 56-54. Ten point one seconds left to go. Ball is inbounded. Clock is Inside the started. Eight. Seven. Berghammer. Splits the defense. He’s still dribbling! Three seconds. Huddle Loooong three… OH HE GOT IT! FADEBob Rombach AWAY THREE AND HE GOT IT! Pause transcript. Timeout Grantsburg. One point five seconds on the clock. Cumberland leads by one. During the timeout, I talked about how the only chance Grantsburg had to win the game would be a Grant Hill to Christian Laettner type of play. On March 28, 1992, Laettner’s Duke team was down to Kentucky 103-102 with two point one seconds left to play in the Final Four Semifinal game. Grant Hill inbounded the ball to Christian Laettner at the free throw line, Laettner caught it, dribbled, spun and sunk the shot at the buzzer to win 104-103 sending Duke to the National Championship game. That’s what popped into my head as Grantsburg coach Nick Hallberg was going over the situation with his team. I don’t know if he was thinking back to when Christian Laettner visited Grantsburg in November of 2015, or if it was just coincidence… Resume transcript. Who’s Grantsburg gonna get the ball to? I don’t know. Anderson, long throw from Grant Hill. [pause] Chenal’s SHOT! [buzzer sounds] GOOOOOOOOOD! GOOOOOOOOOD! JOHN CHENAL AND THEY SAY IT’S GOOD! HOLY COW! It was Grant Hill to Christian Laettner, baby! [chuckling in disbelief] Oh my gosh, what a finish! End transcript. What a finish is right. Two buzzer beaters in the same game. Impossible odds for both of them. Berghammer’s three was one of the most clutch, most difficult shots I’ve ever seen. Then Chenal, with under two seconds left, nails one at the buzzer. Incredible. A couple notes about the play, a play that almost did not exist. • While the rest of us were still marveling at the Berghammer shot, Coach Hallberg had the awareness to call a timeout, preserving the final second and a half. • During the play-by-play, I had called inbounder Luke Anderson Grant Hill with the intention of calling whoever caught it (if it was even caught) Christian Laettner, but I was in such disbelief that the words got stuck in my head and I failed to finish the comparison. Considering John had four Cumberland players surrounding him, having Luke Anderson, the varsity quarterback, throwing it in was a pretty good idea! They connected for many big plays on the gridiron, and now on the hardwood. • Many people know that John Chenal had half of his right pointer finger (his shooting hand) amputated because of a snake bite he received this past summer. The loss of that finger has made shooting difficult. In fact, John has started shooting free throws underhanded because it gives him the best opportunity to make the shot. To me, that is inspiring. It must be tough to humble yourself enough to do that, even though it is a stigmatized shot. But John is nothing if not a team guy. At his own personal expense, setting his ego aside, he does what the team needs him to do. That makes his game-winning jumper, from the free throw line, all the more amazing, and all the sweeter. While preparing for the game, I figured it would be a good game with a couple good teams. It never crossed my mind that it would end in such a way that nearly 200,000 people (as of this writing) would view the last 10 seconds over and over again. The fifty-eight second highlight video (created by Grantsburg sophomore Jacob Phillips) received airtime on WCCO, WEAU and WQOW. It also found its way to a popular Instagram page called “Greatest Highlights” where it has over 140,000 views. Even Christian Laettner responded to my tweet to him. I asked, “Did you see what happened in Grantsburg, WI last night?” He replied, “I did. Way to go fellas and coach Nick. Pretty awesome #theshot.” Indeed, it was a GOOOOOOOD night!

'Toppers top grapplers in duel; seventh at Barron Tourney GLENWOOD CITY—Last Tuesday, the Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling team lost to Glenwood City 35-21. “It was a rough night,” said Coach Chris Bartlett. “The kids just seemed off. They (Glenwood City) are a tough team, but I thought we would have wrestled them better.” At 195, Dominic Caroon pinned his man and Mikel Louis also pinned his at the 285 class. Merlin Hibbs had a decision at 152 by a 7-4 score. Hunter Sellent (132), Ben Berglund (220) and Nolan Johnson (113) were all pinned by their opponents. “It is early in the year and we have a lot of work to do. We aren't wrestling the way I would like them to be,” finished Coach Bartlett.

Barron Tournament participants The LFGS mat-men had nine wrestlers who competed on Saturday. Mikel Louis took second place in the 285 division. Dominic Caroon placed third in the 195

class. Landyn Johnson was fifth in the 138 class with Hunter Sellent (132), Nolan Johnson (106), and Merlin Hibbs (152) all getting sixth place finishes. Hunter Johnson (195), Brad Lucas (160) and Ben Berglund (220) finished in seventh, ninth and tenth places respectively. Said Coach Bartlett of his wrestlers Saturday,” Nolan Johnson wrestled hard. He knows the moves, but just needs a little more size.” Hunter Sellent “got caught in the first period and was down 0-5. Couldn't make up the difference.” Landyn Johnson “was up 8-4 in his quarterfinal match and was caught in a throw. He battled back to take a hard-fought fifth.” “He wrestles hard every time,” said Coach Bartlett of Merlin Hibbs. “His final match was tough. He wouldn't give up the pin.” Brad Lucas “unfortunately lost his first match, but came back and took the highest he could at ninth.” “He is very entertaining to

Blizzard lose; score not indicative of game PARK FALLS—The Blizzard boys hockey team lost at Chequamegon on Saturday by an 8-3 margin, but the score did not reflect the real game. “We outshot them but just couldn’t get the bounces we needed or the rebounds,” said head coach Rick Quimby. “Thorne Carter improved quite a bit from his previous varsity start, but we just didn't have enough fire power to pull off the win. The score was definitely not a reflection of the game; it was much closer and we controlled a lot of the play.” Chequamegon scored their first goal just 1:19 into the game on an unassisted goal, but the Blizzard came right back with a goal by Dawson Van Meter just 18 seconds later. The host team put two more pucks into the net before the period ended with Chequamegon leading 3-1. Jared Lee opened the scoring in the second period at the 8:47 mark before Chequamegon put their goal number four at 12:18. Chequamegon scored twice at the beginning of the third period before Van Meter made his second goal of the contest with Trent Zenzen and Taylor Zenzen assisting. “As a team, we improved in our play, but still need some work. Hopefully we can make a good run at Amery this week and generate a lot of offense as I know they have a decent goalie.” The Blizzard go to Amery on Thursday for a 7 p.m. game before they participate in a Marshfield tournament on Friday and Saturday.

watch as a spectator,” said the coach of Dominic Caroon, “but nerve-wracking as a coach. He is harder on himself than we are on him. He expects to be in the finals every time.” Ben Berglund “wrestled up for us to fill a spot.” Mikel Louis “pinned his way to the finals. He had a questionable take down called against him. He thought he had a take down in the third and the opponent got an escape so he thought it was tied. So the last 20 seconds he didn't shoot. He didn't want to rush a shot. The take down wasn't awarded and he lost by one. He already asked when the next time we see that guy again.” Hunter Johnson “was able to wrestle JV and got his first win in high school.” The team placed in a tie at eight with Hayward with 237 points. Clear Lake took the tournament with 494 points. The wrestlers are in action again Thursday when Shell Lake comes to Grantsburg for a 7 p.m. match-up and also on Saturday at the Osceola Tournament.

Saints too much for Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The opening minutes of the game were not necessarily indicative of what the remaining first half minutes and all the second half would be like as the St. Croix Saints came to Siren to face the young Dragons. St. Croix finished the game with a solid 72-30 win over Siren. At the 10:56 mark of the first half, St. Croix led by just two, 11-9. Maddie Nichols had drained a three point shot. Abby Kosloski had a bucket. Nichols was two for two

from the line and Jade Horstman had a bucket. But then the Saints had an 11-4 run and the Dragons were trying to play catch-up the remainder of the game. At the half, St. Croix led 35-18. Siren had 19 shots from the free throw line in the first half alone, making just seven. For the game, they were 15 for 31 and scored just 12 points total in the second half. Maddie Nichols had nine for the Dragons with Jade Horstman tallying eight. Addie McCurdy led the Saints with 25 and Annalise Parks added

11. Nine Saints scored in the game. “They are the top team in the conference,” said head coach Ryan Karsten. “We knew that coming in.” “We played well in the first half, although the free throws were in the single digits. Then the game got away from us.” “We play a couple of tough teams coming up where one of them has one of the best players in this part of the state. We'll see where we are after Christmas.” GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL

Eagles too much for Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The lady Pirates opened up conference play by hosting the Unity Eagles on Thursday night, falling to the Eagles 51-78. The Eagles came out with a tough pressure defense which the Pirates struggled to adjust to, causing several turnovers. Unity also out-rebounded the Pirates, giving them easy shots at the basket. The Eagles’ defense did put them into early foul trouble, and the Pirates were able to captitalize on

that, getting to the foul line 19 times in the first half, making 10 of those. For the night they were 13 of 31. The Pirate scoring was pretty even the first half as four players tallied 26 points. Brooke Quimby led the charge with nine, followed by Cassidy Chenal with seven. Olivia Ohnstad had six and Olivia Brock had four. The Eagles held a 38-26 halftime lead. Grantsburg was consistent, scoring 25 in the second half of the game. Quimby hit nine more this half to end her night with a

team high 18 points. Brock battled hard under the basket adding eight points to give her 12 on the night. Chenal continued to work hard both rebounding and blocking shots, as well as pouring in five more points. She ended her night at 12. Ohnstad was one for two from the charity stripe this half, and five for eight on the night to bring her total to seven points. Kaitlyn Robelia chipped in two points to end the scoring. The Pirates will head to Frederic to face the Vikings in the early game of a doubleheader match up on Friday night. Game time is 5:45 p.m.

Dragons clip Eagles in nonconference ﬁnal

SIREN—The Siren Dragons kept the Solon Springs Eagles from soaring to high as the Dragons defeated the Eagles 58-47 last Tuesday in Siren's last non-conference matchup before the conference games begin. Abby Kosloski totaled 20 points in the win as she had four buckets and was four for seven from the free throw line in the first half, and had a bucket and six free throws in the second. Jade Horstman had eight in the second frame with Maddy Nichols getting nine. Siren led at the half 23-16. Morgan Anderson had nine in the first frame for the Eagles. “They have a heck of a player in number 3 (Anderson),” praised coach Ryan Karsten. “She can put the ball in the basket.” “We played well, we played poor, we played great, we played bad,” continued the coach. “We're not a great team right now. We're still working on things. This team is a work in progress. We work on skills very night, and fundamentals. This will not be the same team in two weeks.” “We can come out against St. Croix (Friday) and score a lot of points or we can make just two, but by the time playoffs are here, if we can put the pieces together, we can be a very good team.”

Tigers lose close one to Vikings FREDERIC-”Almost but not quite,” said Coach Mat Wood following the 49-46 Tiger loss to the Frederic Vikings on Thursday night. “We have a lot of kids who haven't played in this situation (close game at the wire). We had a couple turnovers and mental mistakes and that was the game. We have to teach them to play the whole game.” The Tigers called time when the Vikings went up 8-5, but following the time out, Webster scored eight in a row, six by Hannah McDowell, to go up 13-8 with 13:29 left in the half. The Vikings put in the next five to knot the game at 13 and the teams battled almost evenly with the Tigers taking a 25-21 advantage at the half. At the 11:50 mark, the game was tied at 32. “They did a pretty good job on Julia (Gavin), keeping her pretty well tied up,” remarked the coach. The Tigers trailed at the 2:30 mark

by one at 44-43. Frederic went two for four from the line to make it 46-43, but then McDowell drained a three point shot to tie it at 46 with 43 seconds left. The Viking's Shelbi Root scored a bucket and Frederic was up 48-46. With a chance to tie the game, and possible take the lead, one of those mental mistakes came into play at the Tigers were called for traveling which gave the ball back to Frederic. Webster fouled to get possession and the Vikings converted one of two charity tosses. With 3.4 seconds remaining, Webster brought the ball down the court, but couldn't get a shot off before the buzzer went. Hannah McDowell led the Tigers in scoring with 24. Makena Buffington added 10. Casey Thaemert scored 11 and Kaitlyn Miller-Robertson had 10 for

the Vikings with three other Vikings scoring seven apiece. “For us this is a good learning experience,” reflected Coach Wood. “The better team won tonight.”

Tigers knock off Warriors; prepare for season opener WEBSTER—The Webster Tiger girls basketball team got ready for their conference opener with a 68-53 win over the visiting Winter Warriors on Tuesday night. “It took us the first five minutes of the game to really get ready to play,” shared coach Mat Wood. “Winter came out and scored 14 points to our two in that time frame. We then went on a 38-10 run in the next 10 minutes to take control of the basketball game.”

“Junior Julia Gavin continued to have a great start to the season, scoring a career high 24 points and adding 13 rebounds. Freshmen Hannah McDowell added a career high 26 points, with 21 of them coming during our 38-10 run. Webster led at the intermission 39-27. Gavin had 13 points in the second half with McDowell having five. “I am really proud of this team,” continued Coach Wood. “They could

have put their heads down and quit after getting blitzed at the beginning of the game. Instead, they fought through it and ended up successful.” “We have a lot to work on as we start our conference season on Thursday against Frederic. We made eight of our 23 free throws down the stretch and missed countless lay-ups that could have been costly. We still have a lot of room for improvement to reach our potential this season.”

Pirates win with exciting buzzer-beater BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—“Wow, what a great high school basketball game,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said after Tuesday’s exciting win over Cumberland. “This is what high school sports are all about.” The Pirates recorded their third win of the season in a showstopping 58-57 win over the Cumberland Beavers which included some of the most exciting last 10 seconds of basketball that any fan could ask for. So much so, it made the highlight reels on local Twin Cities and Eau Claire TV news stations. The Pirates held a 56-54 lead with 10 seconds left in the game when the Beavers called a time-out to set up a play. When play resumed, they get the ball to their leading scorer, Kobe Berghammer, who dribbled around the Pirate defense and threw up an off-balanced three-pointer that went through to put them up 57-56, sending the Cumberland players and fans into a frenzy. Coach Hallberg called a quick timeout, stopping the clock with 1.5 seconds

left. Grantsburg needed to get the ball the

entire length of the court and get a shot off for a chance to get the win. Luke An-

derson was given the task of inbounding the ball, and fired the ball down the court to a waiting John Chenal who is set up at the free throw line. Chenal jumped up between three defenders and grabs the ball, takes one quick dribble and puts up a shot just before the buzzer sounds. The ball banks off the backboard and goes in for the score as the gym erupts with cheers and Chenal’s teammates and coaches rush the floor. “The guys were way more disciplined in the second half and we played right down to the last second,” Hallberg said. “Gutsy throw by Luke and to watch John nail that shot was an awesome feeling. Have to take them how you can get them.” Chenal led all scorers with 25, none bigger than those final two points. Freshman Jared VanWatermuelen is making his presence felt on both ends of the court and finished this game with 14 points. Austin Wedin was next with 10 points, including two from behind the arc. Tyrell Brande added six points and Joseph Ohnstad had three, all of them coming from the charity stripe.

Saints double up on Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The St. Croix Saints showed their strengths on Friday as they defeated the Siren Dragons 68-31. “It was a rough night for us,” lamented Coach Jon Ruud. “We didn't see this coming. We didn't play very well as a team and luckily for us, it's not the last game of the year.” “We have to play a lot harder. We didn't have a lot of intensity. We couldn't get out of a bad rut. The Saints jumped out to a 13-3 advantage just a few minutes into the contest when Siren needed to call a time out, but the tide was flowing and just three minutes later, the Dragons were behind 17-6. To make things a little more painful, the Saints scored on a three point shot right

at the halftime buzzer to put St. Croix out in front 34-12. Colton denHoed had five points for Siren. Nathan Kosloski added four and Kanaan Christianson had a three point shot. Kullan Parks had 16 tallies, 12 of them on three point shots. Kosloski had nine in the second frame to lead the Dragons, as the Saints scored another 34 in the same period of time. Ten Saints had their names added to the score book with Isiah Hoggatt and Tyler Cooper leading the way with seven apiece. Kosloski led the Dragons in scoring with 13. Colton denHoed added seven. “If we continue to play like this, we won't have a lot of success,” continued the coach. “We can still play basketball in Siren, but you wouldn't know it by the way we played tonight.”

PIRATES: win over hilltoppers keeps them undefeated CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21

Hallberg said. “Glenwood City has a few kids that can score, so to hold them to 10 in the first half was something to be proud of. Good to see the balance in scoring on the other end of the floor.” The Pirates had seven different players get in the scorebook in the first half with freshman Jared VanWatermeulen leading the way with 13 points. The rest of the scoring was pretty even with Gabe Chenal tossing in five points, Tyrell Brande and Austin Wedin adding four points each, Joseph Ohnstad with three, and Joey Duncan and John Chenal putting in two points each. Grantsburg let up a little on the defensive end of things in the second half as the Hilltoppers scored 38 points this half to the Pirates’ 36. After spending most of the first half

on the bench in foul trouble, John Chenal poured in 16 second half points to end his night at 18. VanWatermeulen was held to four points this half to give him 17 on the night. Luke Anderson went four of four at the foul line, and Brande added four more to his total. Wedin hit a long ball for three points, and Gabe Chenal completed a threepoint play after being fouled on a shot to end his night at eight points. Ohnstad was two for two from the charity stripe, giving him five points for the day. The Pirates will now head into conference play and after playing Webster on Tuesday night will head to Frederic to take on the Vikings on Friday night. They will play the late game of a doubleheader with tip off at 7:15 p.m.

Silas Vasatka had three three-pointers and a field goal for 11 points and Nathan Kosloski had five field goals for 10. The second half saw denHoed continue his scoring with 15 tallies. Kosloski was even hotter with 16 and Kanaan Christianson added 11 in the second frame.

Game totals had denHoed with 32, Kosloski with 26, Christianson with 19 and Vasatka with 11. Sequoia Bellanger, Triston Ortez and Jordan Webster finished with six, four and one point respectively. The one Bobcat the Dragons could not cool down was Matthew Marcinske. He had a game high 45, scoring six field goals, eight three-point shots and was nine for nine at the charity stripe.

Sent by the Father Seven hundred years prior to Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birth, Isaiah prophesied that a virgin would give birth to a son and His name will be Immanuel. Immanuel means â&#x20AC;&#x153;God with usâ&#x20AC;?. Fast forward several hundred years and time has been split in half, B.C. and A.D. Angels, shepherds and wise men are in joyful jubilance at Isaiahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prophecy. Others like King Herod are demanding a holocaust of murdered babies to attempt to abort Pastor Bryan Davis Isaiahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prophecy. In spite of the number Dwelling Point Church of God of infants that fell casualty to a murderous Siren King, Christ was not stopped, he was born.

In spite of the fact that the innkeeper had room for everybody but Jesus, He was still born. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stopped from coming to earth, death couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even stop him on the cross and nothing will stop His return. Soon the eastern sky will split and the former baby in the Christmas cow trough , the former suffering lamb of God will step on the clouds surrounded by an eternal host of angels , and those who have gone to heaven before us and declare victory over death and sin. This time he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be thrown out of the inn, this time kings wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

the strength to kill him. This time a cross with three nails wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang him, for he will hang in the sky Himself as a sign that He is the Resurrection and the Life.Once a baby in a manger, no room at the inn. Now a king that reigns forever over death and sin. Even though the shepherds needed a star to guide them two thousand years ago, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a star to guide us, for we will be going home. This Christmas season, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just focus on the manger, focus on the coming King Jesus!
