County Airport dealing with ongoing beaver problem JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Christmas is Coming

BURNETT COUNTY–– “It’s been frustrating, so we had to bring in a guy to come in and do some beaver trapping,” Airport Manager Chuck Shultz told the infrastructure committee last week. “It’s a private trapper that the DNR in Grantsburg suggested.”

Mike Rod, of Falun, is an independent trapper and has been helping trap the beavers in Siren since July. He is often the recommended trapper in the County.

“This is a pretty common thing for Burnett County,” Rod said. “It’s hard to tell how many are left out there.”

Rod explained that the beavers live in a 30-40 acre area surrounding the airport. In that area, they have built five different dams.

Shultz said the dams create giant pools of water

Board approves permanent easement for Wayne’s Food JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER––The Webster Village Board approved a permanent easement for Wayne’s Food property line after a survey was done and showed their loading dock is on Village land. The easement resolves the issue that goes back to what was described as a “wink-wink” handshake agreement.

Rick Estridge and Mark Krause were at the meeting last week to explain the property

lines and also figure out a solution. Estridge explained they are planning on selling the grocery store and were asking for something to be put in place before the sale went through.

Krause said a permanent easement on the building would make the most sense and Village President Jeff Roberts agreed.

The permanent easement will allow Wayne’s to use the loading dock without having to buy the land. It will remain as long as the SEE VILLAGE BOARD, PAGE 2

The Christmas Story St. Luke 2: 1-20 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and lineage of David.

And so it was, that, while they went there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

BEAVERS: dams will be destroyed in the spring CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

at the airport and the nuisance beavers are the main concern.

“We’ve trapped four beavers so far,” Rod recalled.

“And we’ll take down those dams in the spring.”

Shultz explained that the beavers have been creating dams in the area surrounding the airfield and not where the committee thought they were doing damage near Old 35.

“They were even going in and out of a culvert we got out there,” Shultz said. “We put up a crusher screen to block the entry off.”

As itt turned out one beaver was still in the culvert behind the screen.

Chuck Shultz “And he let me know he was Airport Manager in there, so I called the trapper and had him take care of it,” he said. “Mike said there may be one more still out there.”

The airport is scheduled to have one of their runways renovated next year. County Administrator Nate Ehalt said along with the runway project they will also be clearing trees in the surrounding area.

Shultz and Ehalt both said clearing those trees should help with their beaver problem.

Sentinel donates to local food shelves The Burnett County Sentinel’s annual food shelf promotion, “Their Table is Waiting,” which runs in December raised $1,035 this year that was distributed among the three Burnett County food shelves. A special thank you goes out to all of the wonderful sponsors who make this possible every year. The food shelves serve hundreds of families each month, and your support is greatly appreciated.

‘The trapper said there may be one more still out there.’

IN OTHER ITEMS: Shultz also reported fuel sales have continued to remain “pretty good” even for this time of year.

abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them in heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. ~~ -John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Trustee Tim Maloney said this issue has been “discussed forever.” Trustee Greg Widiker asked why the village just doesn’t sell the chunk of land to Wayne’s and board members explained

they may want to extend Muskey Street to the south in the future.

Maloney asked Krause and Estridge if they did a title search.

They did and Krause said nothing came back.

“It looks like there was a winkwink, nod-nod agreement on the zoning that goes back a long way,”

Krause said.

The board agreed and approved the permanent easement. It will be written by the Village Attorney and on the agenda at the January meeting.

DECEMBER 19, 2018

‘Baby, it’s cold outside so feel free to leave’ The first time I heard the phrase “political correctness” I was about 15 years old and my percussion instructor said it.

I was just about to start driver’s education and he said something to the effect of, thanks to political correctness they don’t use the first week of that class to show gruesome crashes and mangled bodies being pulled out of burning vehicles.

I would not have minded watching those videos.

They were called “Driver’s Education ‘Scare’ films” and I think I would have enjoyed knowing what happens when one steel trap collides with another.

Anyway, back to the PC world we live in. A couple of weeks ago National Public Radio published a story saying that some radio Sentinel stations have begun banning the Christmas song “Baby, It’s Cold Editor Outside.” It’s odd that the song Jonathan Richie is facing a backlash, even to this millennial.

The bans are being led by people who live their lives on the Internet. I call them the outrage police.

They get outraged about this shiny thing so-andso says and then get angry when he or she doesn’t apologize in a way that is acceptable to them.

Apparently, these people are angry that the female in the song sings the line, “what’s in this drink’ and the male sings “what’s the point in hurting my pride.”

The song was written by Frank Loesser in 1944.

Dean Martin sang it, so did Barry Manilow and Bette Midler (three different recordings.) Even Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton have recorded the song. In 2014 Broadway star Idina Menzel and modern-day crooner Michael Bublé covered the song.

The reason the outrage police hate the song is simple, Bill Cosby.

Bill Cosby is a convicted felon, who was found guilty of aggravated indecent assault earlier this year. Loesser’s relatives have directly blamed Cosby who, for decades, has allegedly drugged women by putting something in their drinks.

Is that what we do in 2018? We go back and nitpick Christmas songs.

My favorite Christmas song is “Father Christmas” by The Kinks. One line is very questionable for today.

“But if you’ve got one I’ll have a machine gun, So I can scare all the kids on the street.” But I don’t hear anybody saying, “let’s ban The Kinks from classic rock Christmas.”

Loesser’s song is a hyper example of what the outrage police are capable of. So watch out.

I’m all for ending discrimination and homophobia, which is what I believe PC culture is supposed to curtail, but sometimes, like everything in life, they go too far.

Lastly, Merry Christmas!

Christmas is for children of all ages Well, Christmas is knocking on our doors. I hope you are ready and are able to spend time with friends and family, which is the best gift one can receive.

Throughout my newspaper career, I have run the following editorial, the most famous newspaper editorial of all time, reprinted here because it fits the season.

As children grow older and wiser, parents inevitably are faced with the question, “Is there a Santa Claus?”

When Virginia O’Hanlon asked that question of her parents in 1897, From the they suggested she write the New Publisher’s York Sun for an answer. She did, and Francis P. Church, a Civil War Desk correspondent, wrote an editorial Tom Stangl response which has become an American literary classic. Mr. Church died in 1906. The New York Sun closed its doors in 1950.

Virginia O’Hanlon Douglas died in 1971 after a distinguished career as a teacher and administrator in the New York City school system. However, the letter from Virginia, and Mr. Church’s response, will live forever as a part of our Christmas heritage. It is still a wonderful answer to a very difficult question.

Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun it’s so.” Please tell me the truth: is there a Santa Claus?

Virginia O’Hanlon Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age.

They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s are little. In this great universe

of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now. Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the hearts of childhood.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Gov. Walker defends, signs Republicans’ lame-duck legislation

BY WISPOLITICS

Republicans at the Capitol are trying to counter the narrative that the lame-duck bills passed by the GOP are a power grab meant to undermine incoming Democrats Tony Evers, the future governor, and Josh Kaul, the next attorney general.

And the leading voice for Republicans is outgoing Gov. Scott Walker, who on Friday signed the three bills into law.

Walker on Dec. 11 said the lame-duck legislation doesn’t amount to “a fundamental shift in powers” away from Evers and Kaul. During the signing ceremony Friday in Green Bay, Walker told reporters “the overwhelming executive of authority I have as governor today will remain constant with the next governor.”

Criticizing the “huge misinformation out there” about the bills, Walker told reporters at

a stop in Pewaukee that Evers would still have authority to appoint cabinet officials, offer a biennial budget and wield a powerful veto pen, adding: “none of that goes away.”

“So for all this hype and hysteria, much of which I think is driven by fundraising for political purposes, the bottom line is there’s not a fundamental shift in powers, no matter what happens with this legislation,” he said.

Walker’s comments came after he issued a statement hinting at his support for some of the extraordinary session bills. He also said he shut down suggestions from lawmakers to go after the governor’s sweeping veto powers in the extraordinary session bills.

“I said, ‘No, I would not support that. There’s no way I would support that, because that would take power away from the governor,’” he said.

Walker signed all three bills in their entirety,

despite suggesting he’d “most likely” use his line-item veto power on parts the bills that cleared the Legislature amid controversy and after an all-night session.

One change Walker said he had been considering was altering language that would give the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. board the power to pick the CEO, he said. Evers’ ability to appoint the agency head would be restored Sept. 1. Walker said Evers raised the issue in a call between the two.

And Walker said he had “concerns” with provisions surrounding Medicaid, though he didn’t elaborate. The legislation includes language that would codify the implementation of a waiver to make changes to the state’s program.

Health care organizations warned the changes could lead to “unforeseen implementation challenges” that could harm the program and its mem-

bers.

Walker wrote in a social media post his criteria for signing the extraordinary session bills Republicans approved included if they improved transparency, increased accountability, affirmed stability and protected taxpayers.

In a Facebook post, Walker argued the “new governor” would still have significant powers if he signed the bills.

Walker wrote that includes the broadest line-item veto of any governor, the ability to make appointments, sign off on administrative rules and pardon convicted felons, among other things.

“Let’s set the record straight — the new governor will still have some of the strongest powers of any governor in the nation if these bills become law,” Walker wrote to open the post.

Britt Cudaback, a spokeswoman for Governor-elect Tony Evers, said Walker knows voters

“demanded a change” on Nov. 6 and urged Republicans to “stop putting politics before people and to start working together with the incoming Evers administration on the pressing issues facing our state.”

“Governor Walker knows this and needs to decide whether he wants the final act of his legacy to be overriding the will of the people,” she said.

Walker highlighted four provisions in the post in describing his criteria: » He wrote it seemed “reasonable” for the public to know if a convicted felon is pardoned by the governor. » He wrote it “makes sense” that lawmakers should “have some say in how the state might spend a multi-million legal settlement.” One provision would require the attorney general to submit settlements to the Legislature for review. » He also wrote it “makes sense” to put in

LETTER GUIDELINES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: This holiday season and throughout the year, our goal is to help make roadways as safe as possible for everyone. As part of these efforts, the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department, along with the Grantsburg, Siren and Webster Police Department will join law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” holiday campaign from December 14 through New Year’s Day January 1, 2019.

Whether it’s caused by alcohol, legal or illegal drugs, getting behind the wheel when impaired is a dangerous and irresponsible decision. Impaired drivers risk injuring or killing themselves, their passengers, and all other travelers along our roadways.

Alcohol-related crashes remain a significant concern in Wisconsin, resulting in 169 deaths and over 3,300 injuries last year. A growing problem in Wisconsin and many other states involves drugged drivers – people whose ability to safely operate a motor vehicle is compromised by prescription or over-thecounter medications and illegal drugs such as heroin.

To help address these challenges, Wiscon-

sin has: • 25 multi-jurisdictional, high-visibility OWI enforcement task forces operating across the state throughout the year.

• Nearly 3,800 law enforcement officers with Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training - enhancing our ability to identify impaired drivers and get them off our highways.

• 292 highly-trained Drug Recognition Experts - among the most in the nation.

There are several ways citizens can help.

If you see a driver that you suspect is impaired, call 911 and provide as much detail as you can. Never allow someone else to drive impaired. Finally, protect yourself and your passengers every trip by buckling up, set aside the phone, watch your speed, be patient and alert.

We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

The 2013-15 budget included a provision saying revenue from some online sales would go to tax cuts if Congress approved states collecting the money from retailers that don’t have a physical presence in their jurisdictions.

Judge Mogen pushes for full-time assistant District Attorney JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Burnett County Judge Melissia Mogen took time out of her schedule to address the Administration committee on Monday. She was asking the committee to do more than pass a resolution to send to Madison asking for a full-time assistant district attorney (ADA).

“I’ll go down to Madison with members of the County Board. I’ll go down

there with the new District Attorney,” Mogen said. “I don’t ask for things I want. I come to your for things that I need.”

Mogen stressed that she is handling, on average, 250 more cases a month more than Ken Kutz and “they all represent criminal cases.”

She said after a year Judge Mogen and a half as the judge

her eyes “are wide open” and seeing the county’s problems clearly.

She said after the meeting that the county leaders need to band together in the fight to get a full time ADA. County Chairman Don Taylor said that the county has sent many resolutions to Madison on the issue and also have tried alternatives to a full-time ADA like increasing the pay for public defenders.

He continued to explain that it is diffi-

cult for Madison to listen to representatives in the Northwoods of the state.

“It’s tough to get funding north of Highway 8,” Taylor said.

He also noted that salaries of DA’s and ADA’s are paid by the State and not the County they serve.

“I want to do whatever can be done to better our county,” Mogen concluded.

“We have a great county and I don’t want to see it slide backwards.”

Siren School passes resolution moves forward with two separate referendums JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN–– The Siren School board passed two separate resolutions on Monday night. The board also selected general contractors.

Kraus-Anderson was selected for the building upgrades. That referendum will include upgrades to the FACs lab, science classrooms, bathrooms and adding secured entrances. Rettler Corporation was chosen for the football field and track facilities referendum.

The board has held two special meetings leading up to the decision to pick a general contractor for the referendums. The first referendum, for upgrades to the school, is set not to exceed $4 million and the second, for the football field and track, is set no to exceed $2 million. Both referendums will be on the April 2 ballot.

Siren Superintendent Kevin Shetler said their 1998 referendum will be paid off by the end of the year.

If both referendums pass, 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.

Board members expressed skepticism that either of the contractors, that specialize in K-12 buildings, would be able to handle the football field project. Rettler Corporation has already done preliminary work on the football field for a previous project.

In a special board meeting last Monday Unesco said they would be willing to bring on Rettler Corporation to work on the football field.

Associate Principal Wayne Koball said Kraus-Anderson was at the school for over two hours and said

they asked him questions he had no idea what the answer was.

“They asked why do we have the IMC here,” Koball recalled. “I have no idea why it’s there.”

The board was also appreciative that Kraus-Anderson said during their presentation that they would reach out to local contractors for the bidding process.

Former School Board member Syd Sherstad was at the meeting and during the public comment asked the board about public input.

Shetler responded that the school will be holding open meetings throughout the process before the election, including informational sessions for the public to attend.

BURNETT COUNTY––Burnett County Highway Department has been awarded $2.1 million in federal grant funds to make improvements to County Highway D between County Highway M to N. Williams Road in the Town of Wood River. Design and permitting work is scheduled to begin in 2019 “This segment of road is the fourth oldest in the county in terms of when it was last reconstructed and by 2021 will be the oldest,” Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs said.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation sent a letter to the Highway Department last month explaining that the funds are through the 2018-2022 Surface Transportation Program (STP)

said. “The objective of the STP is to improve federal-aid-eligible highway outside of urban areas on roads classified as major collectors or arterials.”

Hoefs explained that this project is one of only 19 statewide projects selected for the five-year cycle. He said they are already planning to submit another application for the next STP cycle for work on County Highway X from Webster to Dongola Road in the Towns of Meenon and Sand Lake.

“This segment is a perfect candidate for grant funding since it involves many unique and challenging aspects, especially from a geotechnical (soils engineering) perspective but also environmentally,” Hoefs said. “This makes it worth spending the funds to hire a professional engineering firm to navigate all the issues we expect to encounter.”

Tree of Life Ceremony held at BMC On the evening of Dec. 11 Regional Hospice Services held its first Tree of Life Ceremony at Burnett Medical Center in Grantsburg.

Regional Hospice Services recognizes that for some the holidays are a time of joy and excitement, while for others the holidays can be a difficult time- especially if grieving the loss of a loved one.

The Tree of Life Ceremony gave those attending a time to reflect with the memorial reading of the names and seeing their loved ones’ ornament on the lighted tree. Those who wished to honor their loved one were given the opportunity to purchase a personalized ornament as a remembrance.

A welcome to those in attendance from Lynda Anderson, Executive Director, started the evening followed by a reading from Jim Stroede, Chaplain for Regional Hospice. Music was provided by St. Croix Community Orchestra and their students.

Memorial Reading of names by Bonnie Prazak, Social Worker for Regional Hospice. Memories, conversation, renewed friendships and refreshments followed the ceremony.

Special thank you to Burnett Medical Center for their assistance with this event, Regional Hospice volunteers and staff, Roz Barrick for the beautiful tree topper donated in memory of her husband, Richard Barrick, and all who ordered ornaments and attended the event. The Regional Hospice Tree of Life with memorial names will be on display in the lobby of Burnett Medical Center throughout the holiday season.

SUPERIOR—A hole in a valve was cited as the source of an explosion at a Husky Energy refinery in northwestern Wisconsin last spring that injured 36 people and required the evacuation of a large part of the city of Superior.

The latest findings of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board were shared Wednesday at a town hall meeting in Superior.

According to the update, erosion created a hole in the slide valve, allowing air to mix with hydrocarbons. The resulting blast sent debris hurtling into an asphalt storage tank. The puncture spilled about 15,000 gallons (12,490 imperial gallons) of hot asphalt, which later ignited.

A spokesman for Husky Energy says the Canadabased company will continue working with the board to understand the cause of the explosion.

As we mentioned last week, it’s that time of year again. In the not-too-distant future, your annual Burnett County Property Tax statement will be arriving.

This year, there will be something special that we hope you take out and save next to your telephone.

2-1-1 is your resource for quick community service information. The County will be sending out the 2-1-1 cards in annual tax statements.

The Burnett County Emergency Management Department has obtained 2-1-1 information cards from the United Ways to help make communities aware of services offered by dialing 2-1-1 from any phone.

This week, the focus is on services for the community following a disaster.

The N11-numbers are used to access to special services. For example: 2-1-1: Community services and information 4-1-1: Directory assistance 5-1-1: Traffic information 6-1-1: Telephone company (telco) customer service 7-1-1: TDD and Relay Services for the deaf and hard of hearing 8-1-1: Underground public utility location (United States) – Digger’s Hotline 9-1-1: Emergency services (police, fire, ambulance and rescue services) 2-1-1 service, provided by the United Way, can be used in times of natural disasters. They partner with the local emergency management offices to help field phone calls, receive damage and un-met needs reports, and give out information to those affected by the disaster.

Remember, United Way’s 2-1-1 is always available and can help in many different situations. Give them a call when you are looking for community resources in your area; 2-1-1 is ready to help and is as close as your telephone.

WILD CHOW

The world’s most expensive bread can be made at home: Pain d`épices On my last trip to Switzerland, my friend insisted I taste traditional European spice bread. Typically, we would visit at least one open-air market. There was usually someone selling loaves of spice bread.

I’ve always just walked past because the price was outrageous—$49F per pound, the equivalent of almost $50 U.S. Each loaf appeared to weigh 3 pounds! Thank goodness you can buy one slice.

We each bought a slice of bread made with our favorite spice, mine cardamom and hers ginger. $12F Wild Chow was for each slice later, we were sinking Lisa Erickson our teeth into the best slice of bread we’d ever tasted.

The spices were perfect—not too “spicy” or bland.

The color and scent were enticing. I still don’t know why the bread is so expensive. It is delicious, but not worth the price—if you can bake.

The bread is not made with anything crazy special--honey, spices, and almond flour.

What makes this bread so special is the texture.

It’s sturdy enough to load with cheese or butter, but it melts in your mouth. I know my recipe is not as good as what I ate in Switzerland—but it’s pretty darn close! I’m sure families have been perfecting the recipe for decades. Give me some time and mine will be perfect, too!

This bread is a wonderful handmade gift to give during the holidays. It’s part of many traditional Christmas celebrations in parts of Europe. Make it one of yours, too!

Burnett County Law Enforcement officers to participate in ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ holiday campaign through New Year’s Day Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers to participate in holiday campaign Dec. 14 through New Year’s Day. To help deter impaired driving, the Burnett Co. Sheriff’s Department and the Grantsburg, Siren and Webster Police Departments will join law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” holiday campaign from Dec. 14, 2018 through Jan. 1, 2019.

“The goal of these comprehensive law enforcement efforts is to help make roadways safer for everyone by discouraging people from making the dangerous and irresponsible decision of getting behind the wheel

impaired,” Chief Jeff Schinzing said.

Last year in Wisconsin, alcohol-related crashes resulted in 169 deaths and more than 3,300 injuries.

While alcohol-impaired drivers remain a concern, a growing problem involves drugged driving – people whose ability to safely operate a motor vehicle is compromised by legal or illegal drugs including prescription and over-the-counter medications. To help combat impaired driving, Wisconsin has: • 25 multi-jurisdictional high-visibility enforcement task forces operating throughout the year, across the state • About 3,800 police officers trained in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), enhancing efforts to detect and remove impaired drivers from the roadways • 292 highly-trained Drug Recognition Experts among the most in the nation There are many ways that citizens can help: • Report impaired drivers to law enforcement by calling 911. Provide as much detail as possible on the driver, vehicle, and location; • If you plan to celebrate, identify a sober designated driver. Never allow someone else to get behind the wheel impaired; • Download the free “Drive Sober” mobile app from the WisDOT website. The app includes a “find a ride” feature to help locate mass transit and taxi services; • Some taverns and restaurants have programs to provide patrons a safe ride home. Visit www. tlw.org/ and click on Safe Ride; and

Make sure that everyone in your vehicle is buckled up – every trip. Watch your speed and eliminate distractions.

Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers want to help ensure a safe, enjoyable holiday season and they need the cooperation of all motorists to accomplish this.

Adults and children alike are familiar with the tale of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

As the lyrics of the song illustrate: Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose / And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.

Popularized by the song written by Johnny Marks and sung

by Gene Autry, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer dates back to 1939. A copywriter named Robert L. May created the story of the misfit reindeer in 1939 when working for Montgomery Ward. The retail giant was producing marketing holiday coloring books for children and wanted to come up with a clever character.

Although Rudolph is now beloved, May’s original ideas included Rollo and Reginald. Also, Rudolph’s famed red nose almost didn’t come to be. Because a red nose at the time was viewed as a sign of alcoholism, Montgomery Ward was hesitant to be on board with the bulbous, red

snoot. A blue nose was considered, but later changed. In its first year of publication, Montgomery Ward had distributed 2.4 million copies of Rudolph’s story.

The catchy tune came thereafter, followed by a cartoon short in 1948. In 1964, the stop-motion animated television special further propelled Rudolph to celebrity and became the most recognizable Rudolph adaption.

Today, Rudolph is known across the globe as the reindeer responsible for navigating Santa’s sleigh through tricky weather on Christmas Eve. He continues to be loved by many, young and old.

Summer Blooms with Lois Nestel

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

The residents at HSBC want you to know that adult dogs and cats make wonderful pets. With fully developed personalities, adult pets are finished growing and are full of love to give. A few of them may be shy at first glance b but a little time and pattience will have them in y your lap in no time!

These former Weekly W Wag stars are still waitiing for their families to d discover them: Dogs: Meadow—threetto-four-year-old female W Weimaraner; Rowdy— ttwo-year-old male mastiff m mix; Max—two-year-old Meadow male black and tan coonhound; Ruger—sevenyear-old female black lab mix; Hunter—five-yearold Springer Spaniel; and Mollie—three-year-old female American Terrier mix.

Cats: Shasta—two-year-old grey tabby female; and Kita—six-month-old black female shorthair.

There are also several other dogs and cats available that we have not introduced yet. Learn more about the available pets at the HSBC website or Facebook page If you are looking for a timely book or movie for the season, “A Dog Named Christmas” by Greg Kincaid is a great choice.

Written in 2008 and made into a Hallmark movie in 2009, the plot centers around a family when their local shelter asks people to foster dogs over the Christmas-to-New Shasta Year’s week.

HSBC would like to remind you that fostering one of our residents gives a cat or dog an opportunity to have a mini-vacation from the stresses of shelter life. It also allows them to practice home living and gives you a chance to help mold them into better citizens. Simply put, fostering gives pets a better chance at getting adopted. HSBC would love to see any of our residents have a foster family experience, but it is a special treat for our long-term pets. Fosters until adoption are wonderful, but shorter stays may be possible. If you would like to open your home to a shelter pet, contact HSBC for more information.

Well, by the time you read this I will have returned from a nine-day trip in Costa Rica with a group of Museum members. While I’m off gallivanting in a tropical rainforest, I thought I’d give my readers a short break from the winter weather, too. Please enjoy this little taste of summer from June 2017. I’ll have more tropical reports when I return! *** On a recent mountain bike ride with a group of women, I quickly fell behind the lead group while easily staying far ahead of the beginner group. Alone in the forest on the first hot day, it was bliss. The Makwa Trail flowed gracefully through deciduous woods south of Seeley, WI, and as evening fell, I wallowed in the rich smells of the summer woods.

Riding alone allowed me to stop and smell the roses.

The bright white flowers of wild strawberries and the canary yellow flowers of barren strawberry (both in the Rose Family) lined the trail. The first produces a juicy red berry, the second, despite its similar set of three toothy leaves and five-petaled flowers, only makes a few dry seeds. Trilliums, violets, starflowers, bluebead lily, and a late-blooming wood anemone also caught my eye.

banks and around old stumps, and nearby the yellow bloom of Clintonia or bluebead lily may be found.

“But from now until autumn the floral emphasis will be upon the blossoms of open areas, roadsides, fields and glades—and the variety seems endless.

Drifts of color along roadsides and in meadows are more spectacular than are the more modest flowers of spring. Daisies, hawk-weed, and other composites now dominate the scene, and the yellow-flowered salsify, best known in late summer for its huge dandelion-like seed head (commonly known as goat’s beard), is one of the most interesting. It is related to the oyster plant grown in gardens.

Grass-pink orchids are a delightful thing to discover in a bog.

PHOTO BY EMILY STONE

Bunchberry flowers are a lovely summer bloom.

I’m pretty sure that Lois Nestel, the Museum’s first naturalist and director, would never have joined me on a mountain bike ride, but I know I would have loved walking attentively through the woods with her.

This week, I’d like to share her description of the residents of woods and fields as summer begins to bloom.

Slow down a minute with me, we’ll smell the roses, and I think you’ll find it rewarding.

Lois wrote, “Although the woodland flowers of spring are passing as increased foliage cuts off the light, there are still numbers of delightful varieties to be found. Both pink and yellow lady-slippers are blooming now as are some of the bog orchids. Many smaller shade-loving blooms may also be found if one cares to expend the extra energy to find them. Dainty gold-thread, pipsissewa, and twinflowers lift their lovely blooms only two or three inches above the forest duff. The dwarf dogwood, known as bunchberry, masses its four-petaled green and ivory flowers along

“Perhaps the loveliest flower of the season is the wild rose, and differences in varieties and habitat allow their season to be quite extended. While color may vary from deep pink to almost white, the typical rose fragrance varies little. Simple perfection personifies the rose.

“In damp meadows, golden alexanders spread their wheels and along the edges, in sheltered nooks, wild columbine nods its spurred bells. In drier fields and roadsides, flat-topped aromatic heads of yarrow vary from dingy white to mauve or pink. From hillside to hallow, from northern to southern exposure, great differences can be seen in the development of the floral community. In sunny, open areas some plants will already be seeding while their counterparts in cool depressions are only in bud.

“Summer’s profusion together with our modern way of life can be a disadvantage. Traveling swiftly by car, one sees sheets and belts and blurs of color… sees and yet does not see. The quantity bedazzles, the quality is not seen.

“Take time to walk, to examine the intricacies of the individual flower; look for the less obvious. It is rewarding.”

Comet named after Wisconsin astronomer to pass by Earth MILWAUKEE—A comet named after a Wisconsin astronomer will soon streak past Earth and be the brightest comet of the year.

Comet 46P/Wirtanen will fly by Earth in the next week, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported . It will be one of the closest comet flybys since the 1950s, but will look like a dim blur of glowing gray light.

“It will be very diffused, a spread-out

graying glow,” said Jim Lattis, director of University of Wisconsin Space Place, UW-Madison’s astronomy outreach center. “You’ll see green colors, which is mostly caused by carbon, only if you’re taking photos or you’ve got a pretty good telescope.”

The comet is named after Carl Wirtanen, who first spotted it in 1948 while surveying the movement of faint, distant stars. Wirtanen was born in

Kenosha in 1910 and became fascinated in astronomy at the age of 12. He studied astronomy, math and physics at the University of Virginia before working at the Lick Observatory in California.

Comet Wirtanen orbits the sun every five-and-a-half years. The comet will be closest to the Earth on Monday, when it’ll be about 7 million miles away.

“Another reason it’s getting so much attention, it’s well-placed for us,” Lattis

said. “You can see it high overhead in the early evening hours in the Northern Hemisphere. That’s stimulating a lot of people to get out and see it.”

The comet can be spotted by looking toward the Taurus constellation. It will sit between two bright star clusters, the Pleiades and the Hyades.

Jack was a charter member of the Webster Lions and had 25 years of perfect attendance. While a Lion, he helped form the Wild River Boys, a raucous parade unit that brought fun and laughter to many parade events, winning their category for many years.

His woodworking skills were that of a perfectionist and his inventive mind created many projects, both

large and small.

Jack was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis, a rare cancer of the bone marrow, in September 2017. He fought it valiantly until this November, when it transformed to acute leukemia.

Memorials are preferred to Yellow Lake Lutheran Church or the Webster Schools Backpack program, which benefits hungry children.

The family thanks St. Croix Hospice for their care and compassion for Jack.

Defense strong in Tiger win Pardun took over part of the scoring leadership in the second half with 15 points, nine of which were on three point shots.

Pardun and Gustafson each ended the game with 15 tallies. Coleton Peterson had 13 and Jack Washburn led all scorers with 25 points.

Lucas Torgerson had 18 points for the Lakers with Brendan Strenke adding 15 and Casey Kahl 11.

“It was a total team win,” praised Coach Scherrer.

WEBSTER––“I thought we cranked up the defensive pressure this evening,” commented Coach Rob Scherrer of the Webster Tigers following an 82-57 win over the Turtle Lake Lakers on Friday night.

“We are starting to get into the groove of the basketball season. I am seeing a lot of improvement on both sides of the ball. We had sickness ravish our team early in the season, but it looks as we might have gotten out ahead of it now. Tanner Pardun had a really nice game off the bench. I thought he played aggressive defense and looked for his shots offensively.”

The Tigers held a commanding 43-28 halftime advantage. In the first half, Jack Washburn had 16 points, with Trevor Gustafson adding 12 and Coleton Peterson 11.

“We got a lot of really good looks early and kind of got Winter out of their comfort zone.

Four girls scored in the double digits with Hannah McDowell scoring 21, Jenna Gomulak scoring 13, Julia Gavin adding 12 and Makena Buffington with 11. The kids were relieved with their performance as well,

knowing that we finally played up to where we can be offensively. Ten of the 11 girls on our roster scored points against Winter,” said the Coach.

He continued, “Defensively we started off well holding Winter to two points in the first eight minutes. Once the tempo started to speed up, we started to forget how to help on dribble penetration and got beat on a few possessions to make it close. So there is always something to work on for the next game.”

Jasmine Goebel scored 24 for the Winter Warriors.

Pirates take down Cardinals

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—The Lady Pirates traveled to Luck on Friday night to face the Cardinals in a West Lakeland Conference match-up, with the Pirates coming out with the 50-35 win. The win puts the Pirates at 2-1 in conference play and tied with Unity for the second place spot in the standings.

Both teams started strong on offense, jumping out to a 6-6 tie. But the shooting cooled quickly as both teams struggled to find the rim.

The fouls started to rack up for the Pirates as well, with one of their leading scorers, Olivia Ohnstad, picking up three first half fouls.

Fortunately for the Pirates, lone senior Olivia Brock stepped up and took over the offense for her squad. Brock dominated in the paint, racking up a first half double-double with 10 points to go along with 10 rebounds.

At the break the score was 19-17 in favor of the Pirates.

Grantsburg outscored the Cardinals 31-22 the second half to seal the win. They stepped up their defense, which created turnovers they were able to convert into points.

The Pirates outrebounded the Cardinals on both ends of the court, giving themselves second chances while limiting Luck’s attempts.

Brock and Brooke Quimby led the Pirates in scoring

with 20 points each. Ohnstad was next in the scorebooks with six points on the night.

Sarah Chenal and Jadyn Watt chipped in two points each to round out the scoring.

The Pirates will host the Siren Dragons on Thursday night in a 5:45 game. They will be off for the holidays, returning to the court on January 4 at St. Croix Falls.

WEBSTER––“Turtle Lake was an extremely scrappy team,” said Webster Tiger coach Mat Wood following the Webster 45-41 win on Friday night.

“They pushed us in the first half, switching up their defenses on each dead ball. Once our girls got the hang about what they were doing, we were able to score the basketball. Turtle Lake came out on fire attacking us with their size down low. They got out to a five point lead at half time. Our girls did a great job of clawing back into the game, out scoring Turtle Lake by nine in the second half. Julia Gavin had some clutch put backs for us late and Jenna Gomulak and Mahi Mosher came up with some clutch free throws to clinch the game.”

Jenna Gomulak put in two with Makena Buffington and Morgan Mulroy adding one each.

“The girls are playing a bit better than they have the week before going

2-0 this week,” exclaimed Coach Wood. “Hopefully we can keep the streak alive going up against New Auburn on Tuesday and get back to .500 (record for the season).”

The Tigers also host St. Croix Falls on Thursday.

EARLY DEADLINE The deadline for the Dec. 26 issue of the Sentinel is Thurs., Dec. 20 at noon.

SIREN–The road is currently going through some construction phases and is tough traveling for the Siren Dragons as they experienced an overtime loss to Frederic, 55-47, and a road loss to Bruce, 43-37.

“They are a good team,” said Dragon coach Ryan Karsten. “They have a good group of seniors. Usually the first team to 40 wins.”

Frederic did get to 40 first, but Siren was right on their tails and tied it at 44 to force the overtime session.

The Dragons started out well with Hannah Lemieux getting a three pointer and Karlee Sybers a field goal. Frederic tied it at six on a field goal and free throw by Hannah Schmidt.

Nearing the end of the first half, Frederic was up 18-16, but a field goal by Jade Horstman and another by Maddie Nichols put Siren up by two at the intermission, 20-18.

Four minutes into the second half, Siren still maintained a lead at 25-22 and the Vikings called a timeout.

The game see-sawed and the Dragons were still up 31-30 when Frederic called timeout with 8:36 remaining.

Three minutes later, Frederic had pulled ahead 43-42.

The Vikings managed only one out of three free throws in the remaining time whereas Siren got a field goal by Jade Horstman to knot the game and send it into overtime.

In the overtime session, Frederic went 9 for 12 from the line along with a field goal. The Dragons could only get one field goal and a free throw.

“When we play hard, we’re tough to beat,” said the coach. “But we didn’t play well. We didn’t do what we were supposed to do and we looked terrible. We just got to show up and play. When we don’t show up to play, we don’t go anywhere.”

Jade Horstman had 15 points for the Dragons. Cassie Maslow added 13.

For Frederic, Hannah Schmidt tallied 14 and Sydney Domagala put in 11.

Against Bruce, the Dragons trailed by just two at the half, 24-22. Seven different scorers contributed in the half with Cassie Maslow

leading the way with six. Hannah Lemieux had a three point connection also in the half.

Even though Paeyton McKnight and Angel Lightfeather got three’s in the second half, it wasn’t enough to get past the Raiders. The Dragons were able to get four field goals in period two, but the Raiders got five.

In the free throw shooting department, Siren was 6 for 14, whereas Bruce shot 5 for 21.

High scorer for the Dragons was Cassie Maslow with eight. Madison Thiex tallied six. Jade Horstman and Angel Lightfeather had five apiece. A total of 10 different Dragons scored in this game.

Siren will have played at Washburn on Tuesday and will travel to Grantsburg on Thursday. They resume their schedule after the Christmas break on Jan. 4, going to Webster.

Pirates shut down Cardinals

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—The Grantsburg Pirates tallied their second conference win of the young season with a convincing 75-42 win over the Luck Cardinals on Friday night.

The Pirates jumped out to an early lead, and never looked back, leading 40-16 at the half while sailing to a win.

“Our defense is getting better and our offense is proving to be balanced,” Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg said. “We are starting to figure a few things out that we didn’t know or do consistently enough the first few games.”

The Pirates look strong and quick, despite playing with a depleted roster. They are without senior Luke Anderson who fractured his leg during the football team’s playoff run.

They are hoping to have him back on the court in January. Point guard Tyrell Brande has also been dealing with a football injury to STACY COY | SENTINEL his hand and has missed several games.

battling, which is day to day struggle for the senior.

“We’ve thrown a lot of different combinations of kids out there and we’ve got guys that are stepping up into roles on both ends of the floor,” Hallberg said.

Grantsburg outhustled the Cards, both on the boards and for loose balls which paid off for the visiting squad.

Jared VanWatermeulen led all scorers with 25. Freshman Carson Knutson was next on the list with 11 followed closely by Gabe Chenal with 10 points. Gus Bergman played strong off the bench to give his Pirate squad nine points. Leo Chenal chipped in six points with Austin Wedin adding five. David MacKean had four points, Jacob Phillips hit a long ball for three and Duncan rounded out the scoring with two points.

The Pirates will host the Siren Dragons on Thursday night in the late game of a doubleheader. Tip off is at 7:15 p.m. They are off for the holidays until they head to St. Croix on January 4.

SIREN––The Frederic Vikings defeated the Siren Dragons 60-52 on Friday night in Siren.

The Dragons started off quickly, getting a 5-0 advantage early on a three pointer by Brady Kosloski and a field goal by Nathan Kosloski.

After scoring exchanges by each squad, the Dragons were up 9-6.

Midway through the first half, on a time out, the Dragons were still up 15-10, but the Vikings quickly tied it at 15 on a three point shot by Logan Lillehaug and a field goal by Ashton Sventek.

Pirates silence Hurricanes for win

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

HAYWARD—The Grantsburg Pirates traveled to Hayward on Tuesday, Dec. 11 for a non-conference match up with the Hurricanes and came away with a convincing 53-37 win.

“We played our best game of the year tonight, on both ends of the floor,” coach Nick Hallberg said.

“Austin (Wedin) and Carson (Knutson) took care of the ball and we played with a sense of urgency on defense that I hadn’t seen yet. Hayward is a solid opponent, so to go over there and pick up a win on their home floor is a good sign for what our boys are capable of.”

The Pirates had a dominating first half and held a 25-10 lead heading into the break and were consistent the second half, adding 28 to their total.

The Pirates were down three players and everyone on the roster saw court time this game. “I will say that this team has had to endure a lot to start the season,” Hallberg said. “We’ve been shorthanded in every game, but continue to battle and find ways to stay in games and win a few.”

Wedin led all scorers with 16 points. He hit two from behind the arc and was six of seven from the charity stripe to go along with a couple of buckets. Leo Chenal was next on the list with 15 and Jared VanWatermeu-

SOMERSET—“It was a good test tonight against a scrappy Somerset team,” reported Webster coach Rob Scherrer after a 79-69 win.

“They (Somerset) were ready to play and jumped on us early. At one point, they had a 25-10 advantage. We did a nice job of closing the gap. Going into halftime, we were down by a single point (3231). In the second half, we started to pull away and finished strong for a ten point victory.”

Trevor Gustafson had 25 points to lead the Tigers in scoring. Jack Washburn tossed in 20. Coleton Peterson added 18 and Hunter Gustafson chipped in with 14.

Said the coach, “I am impressed everyday with the play of Carsen Stenberg. He doesn’t score a lot of points, but runs our offense to perfection. Trevor (Gustafson) had a monster game finishing around the hoop and Coleton Peterson was very involved offensively. Overall I am proud of my guys.”

“We have a bulls eye on our backs night in and night out (because we are defending conference champs, and a sectional team last year), so we see opponents’ best games. We have done a nice job up to this point of being up for games and taking the challenge head on. Obviously there are some wrinkles we have to iron out, but I feel we are in a pretty good spot to this point.”

Blizzard win one, fall at Marshfield GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

PINE CITY–– “The game against Pine City (JV) was just a great game and win for the boys,” related Blizzard hockey coach Tim McDonald after a 4-3 win.

“They rallied behind our goalie, Ben Johnson of Grantsburg, who just began skating three weeks ago and was playing in his first hockey game ever.

Our team played tough defensively and controlled the game through physical play.”

The Blizzard scored twice in the first period. Bryce Roufs got the first goal at 5:06 with assists going to David Doty and Jared Lee. Lee got the second goal for the Blizzard just before the end of the period, going it unassisted with the team short-handed.

Goal three came in period two with Roufs getting his second of the game at 4:12. Doty and Trent Zenzen got the assists.

Pine City got two goals in the early part of period three, but Roufs got his hat trick at 12:27 with an assist to Doty.

Pine City got the last goal of the game, but the Blizzard held on for the victory.

REGIS-ALTOONA-MCDONELL WINS 6-5 “The game against RAM was a character check game for us,” shared the coach.

“We had a short bench due to injuries and fell behind 3-0 in the first period.

SHELL LAKE––“Well,” said Coach Chris Bartlett, “this was and old-fashioned beat down. We didn’t wrestle well and it was a steam roller affect. Once they got rolling, it didn’t stop. The 145 and 160 our guys never got going. They had a lot more energy than us. The best thing we can do as a team is learn from this and be better prepared for the match. Hats off to them, they came to wrestle and took it to us.”

Hunter Sellent had a 15-0 technical fall. Dominic Caroon pinned his opponent and Taedon Nichols decisioned his.

There were six pinfalls by Shell Lake upon LFGS wrestlers.

Wrestlers 2-3 at Osceola Duals GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

OSCEOLA––At the Osceola Duals on Saturday, school wrestling teams gather to face each other as teams rather than as individuals.

The Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren team wrestled against five other schools and came out with a 2-3 record.

LFGS lost to Osceola 42-23, to Boyceville 42-29 and to Barron 43-35. They defeated St. Croix Central 35-30 and Clear Lake 52-21.

Nolan Johnson, Taedon Nichols and Hunter Sellent had 5-0 records through the day. Dominic Caroon went 4-1. Landyn Johnson and Ben Berglund were 3-2. Merlin Hibbs, Brad Lucas and Sam Turrene went 2-3. Donald McLafferty was 1-2 with Logan Czech going 1-5.

Coach Chris Bartlett said of his wrestlers, “As a team I think we wrestled well. We had more energy all day.

They didn’t look as flat as we did on Thursday. They just wrestled. I received compliments from other coaches on how the kids looked. As we get a couple back from injury and kids move to different weights, I think we are going to be a tough match up for teams.”

Specifically, Nolan “had a good day and is wrestling well.” Taedon “had a good match against Boyceville. Logan had a thriller against Barron. It went back and forth.

We gave Donald some JV matches to get him more mat time. Hunter had a rematch of the finals at Barron; came out on top again.”

Landyn “wrestled well. He is giving up a lot of weight and it goes against him some times.”

Merlin “was in a tough weight class. He wrestled a three time state champ. He’s getting closer to the Clear Lake kid each time he wrestles.” Brad “lost a close one against Osceola. He moved better.” Dominic “knows what he needs to work on.” Ben “had his first matches of the season.”

Sam “ is just getting started and has a lot to learn.”

The team goes to Unity on Thursday and then will attend the Northern Badger tournament in River Falls Dec. 28-29 where 42 schools will be in attendance.

pulled our goalie and took advantage with a quick goal, pulling us within one.

Towards the end, we had our chances with a sixth attacker on the ice, but just couldn’t get the puck to bounce our way.”

RAM led 1-0 after one period of play and scored two in period two.

The Blizzard also got one score in period two on a goal by Jared Lee, short handed, unassisted.

RAM got the first goal of the third, but the Blizzard scored the next two. David Doty, assisted by Dane Jensen, got the first goal of the Blizzard in this period on a power play. Jensen followed up less than three minutes later with one of his own, assisted by Jared Lee. RAM came back with two, but so did the Blizzard.

Doty, unassisted, got an even strength goal at 13:57, and Ross Anderson (assists

to Doty and Jensen), to one at 14:42, but the Blizzard got no further.

MARSHFIELD 14-2 Marshfield jumped off to a 6-0 advantage in the first period and went on to win 14-2.

Burnett scored at the 4:22 mark of period two with Jared Lee getting an unassisted goal, and they got their second goal in period three near the end of the game on a goal by Trent Zenzen, assisted

by Ross Anderson.

“We will hopefully get some players back and be ready to go this week with two games before our Christmas break,” concluded the coach.

The scene on Highway 35 near 140th Ave. in the Township of St. Croix. It took crews over five hours to clear the debris off the roadway. The crash remains under investigation by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin State Patrol.

Early morning fatal crash in St. Croix Township On Dec. 18, at 4:34 am, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center received a report of a crash on Hwy 35, approximately one quarter mile north of 140th Avenue, in St Croix Township, Polk County. It was reported there were serious injuries to the occupants of both vehicles.

Kenneth Joseph Jones of St. Paul, Minn. was found deceased on the scene due to injuries sustained in the crash.

Upon arrival, Deputies observed there were two vehicles involved in the crash. Both vehicles were sitting near the center of the roadway. Both vehicles had severe

damage to the front center of the driver’s sides. The vehicles came to rest a short distance from each other.

Based on the preliminary investigation, it appears that Jones was traveling north bound on Hwy 35. He was operating a 2004 Saturn Ion. As he was traveling, it appears his vehicle began to travel left of the center line. At that time, there was a southbound vehicle approaching Kenneth Jones’ vehicle. The southbound vehicle was driven by Dustin Joseph Coury of rural Balsam Lake, WI. Dustin Coury was driving a 2007 Chevrolet Impala.

Dustin Coury did sustain severe injuries and was flown from the scene by an air ambulance.

Coury’s medical condition is unknown to the Department at this time.

Assisting with incident were the City of St Croix Falls Police Department, Centuria Fire and First Responders, Lakes Area Ambulance, Life Link Air Ambulance, Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Wisconsin State Patrol – Traffic Reconstruction Unit.

This matter will be further investigated by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin State Patrol.

WAUSAU—A Wisconsin man is headed to the 2019 World Wheelchair Championship for Team USA. Matt Thums, 42, of Weston will be competing in the 2019 World Wheelchair Championship for Team USA, according to the Wausau Daily Herald .

The event will take place early March in Scotland.

This is the first time Thums will be a part of an international competition in the top five. The team is selected by a variety of factors, including performances in national curling competitions, camaraderie with other team members, ice presence and skills. He was chosen after a team camp and competition held earlier this month in Utica, New York.

Thums was paralyzed about 13 years ago after a fall from a tree stand. He’s been curling since 2012, and by 2014, he made it to national teams competing on an international level.

Thums was one slot away from the 2018 Paralympic Games. If one of the athletes that were chosen for the Paralympics would have gotten injured, he would have been tapped to go.

“You don’t want a bunch of greenhorns going to the Paralympics for Team USA,” he says. “I knew my time would come. I just kept working at it.”

Area churches deliver for Operation Christmas Child Operation Christmas Child celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, and has so far reached 157 million children in 160 countries through its shoebox ministry. A group of two people from area churches left Siren early Tuesday morning, Dec. 4, heading for Lakeville, Minn., to help prepare Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes for delivery across the world.

This year the Siren Team for Operation Christmas Child collected 1,279 shoeboxes from 18 churches. The Siren Team area covers Burnett, Washburn and Rusk counties, along with the areas of Polk, Barron and Rusk north of Highway 8. The boxes were taken to the processing center in Lakeville, Minn., where they joined hundreds of thousands of other

boxes that will be distributed to underprivileged children around the world.

Volunteers Jeff Ecker along with George French, Jim Becker and Byron Wickman helped load the boxes onto a U-Haul truck donated by Daniels Plumbing.

Light in the Darkness

PASTOR DOUG OLSON YELLOW LAKE LUTHERAN

“He has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners�– Isaiah 61:1.

The school principal of Paradise, California, whose school was destroyed in the fire, faces the task of providing a learning facility for his students. Paradise was dark with smoke and destruction.

The sky over Judah was dark. Roman military rule was oppressive. People were landless and became day workers. They asked where is God? A poor couple walked to Bethlehem to be counted in the Roman census. God’s presence glowed brightly over

the Bethlehem hillside where shepherds lay asleep with their sheep. Awakened, they heard a visitor say, “Do not be afraid...good news... to you is born this day...a savior...a child...lying in a manger� Luke 2:8-12. Immanuel – God with us in our darkness.

Today we know the darkness of drug addiction, health crises, low incomes, aging, discrimination, gun violence, hunger which stalks our neighbors. Migrant families walk to our southern border to escape terror. The sky is dark.

Jesus, in Nazareth, announces, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...to proclaim release to the captives...bring good news to

19 fun facts you probably didn’t know about Christmas

For starters, it wasn’t always on December 25.

Though Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, there is no mention of December 25 in the Bible. (Most historians believe he was actually born in the spring.) It didn’t become the official holiday until the third century. Some argue that the date was picked because it coincided with the pagan festival of Saturnalia, which honored the agricultural god Saturn by celebrating and gift-giving.

You can thank Prince Albert for your Christmas tree.

The origin of Christmas trees goes all the way back to ancient

Egyptians and Romans, who marked the winter solstice with evergreens as a reminder of spring, according to History.com. But it wasn’t until Prince Albert of Germany introduced the tree to his new wife, Queen Victoria of England, that the tradition took off. A drawing of the couple in front of a Christmas tree appeared in Illustrated London News back in 1848, and royal fever did its work.

St. Nick was actually more generous than jolly.

Sure, you probably knew that the idea of Santa Claus came from St. Nicholas. According to legend, the fourth-century Christian

bishop gave away his abundant inheritance to help the needy and rescued women from servitude. As his story spread, his name became Sinter Klaas in Dutch, which later morphed into Santa Claus.

Coca-Cola played a huge part in Santa’s image.

According to Coca-Cola, Santa used to look a lot less jolly — even spooky. When the company hired an illustrator named Haddon Sundblom in 1931 to create im-

ages of Santa for magazine advertisements, the warm and friendly Santa we know today was born.

The tradition of hanging stockings started with an accident.

According to legend, it came from the tale of a poor man who couldn’t afford his three daughters dowries. Apparently St. Nick dropped a bag of gold down their chimney one night so that the SEE FUN FACTS, PAGE 4

FUN FACTS: Christmas decorating sends nearly 15,000 people to the ER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

eldest could get married — but it fell into a stocking that was drying by the fire!

Celebrating Christmas used to be illegal.

Although the Jamestown settlers created the first American batch of eggnog, by the time the Puritans settled Boston, Christmas was outlawed.

(The word nog comes from the word grog; that is, any drink made with rum.) From 1659 to 1681, you’d face a fine for celebrating the once-pagan day. And after the Revolutionary War, the new Congress found the day so unimportant that they held the first session on December 25, 1789.

Merry Christmas from Our Place To Yours

How sweet it is serving good people like you!

We appreciate your visits this year and look forward to seeing you again, soon!

Kozy Kitchen 1/2 block south of Hwy. 70 on 48/87 • Grantsburg • 715-463-2200

It wasn’t proclaimed a federal holiday for nearly another century.

Christmas decorating sends nearly 15,000 people to the ER. From hanging lights on ladders to taking a roast out of the oven, making merry can prove hazardous. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 14,700 people visit hospital emergency rooms each November and December from holiday-related decorating accidents. To top it off, dried Christmas trees spark about a hundred fires, cause an average of 10 deaths, and result in $15.7 million in property damage. Are you convinced to switch to an artificial Christmas tree yet?

Santa has his own zip code in Canada.

Every year, letters to Santa Claus flood post offices across the world. Some Canadian Post Office workers even started answering them — but as more letters arrived, they set up a special zip code for Santa as part of a “Santa Letter-Writing Program” literacy initiative. The zip code? HOH OHO. The term “Xmas” dates back to the 1500s.

According to From Adam’s Apple to Xmas: An Essential Vocabulary Guide for the Politically Correct, the word “Christianity” was spelled “Xianity” as far back as 1100. X, or Chi, in Greek is the first letter of “Christ” and served as a symbolic standin. In 1551, the holiday was called “Xtemmas” but eventually shortened to “Xmas.”

We ship a crazy amount of packages around the holidays.

Deck the Halls & Have a Ball!

About 90% of Americans celebrate Christmas.

That explains all those packages the U.S. Postal Service has to deliver. Additionally, the Pew Research Center’s findings found that less people think of Christmas as a religious holiday nowadays. Only 51% of those people who celebrate attend church on Christmas.

And they spend nearly $1,000 on gifts.

According to the National Retail Federation’sfindings in 2017, consumers say they’ll spend $967.13 for the holidays on average. For 2018, total retail sales in November and December are expected to hit $717.45 billion.

Ham, not turkey, is the festive favorite.

The dinner debate rages on. Searches for “ham” and “turkey” both spike during the month of December, according to Google Trends data.

(Though it’s nowhere near how frequently “turkey” is hunted for online in November!) But despite the popularity of both festive entrees, spiral-cut ham remains the more popular choice for a Christmas table.

Candy canes got their start in Germany.

The National Confectioners Association says a choirmaster originally gave the candies to young children so they’d stay quiet during long church services. But when a German-Swedish immigrant decorated his tree with candy canes in 1847, they became popular as a Christmas candy.
