Grantsburg girls get career advice JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GRANTSBURG–– Grantsburg’s junior girls spent last Wednesday at the Crex Convention center attending the Women of Tomorrow Luncheon put on by the school. The students had the opportunity to have a meal and pick the brain of professionals in a career in which they are interested. UW-Superior’s Vice Chancellor Brenda Harms was this year’s keynote speaker. She had three main points for the students to take with them. “First you should figure out your passion, whatever it may be,” Harms said. “Second, you must realize that the path forward isn’t always going to be a straight line.”
GRANTSBURG–– This time of year many students are vigorously writing letters to Santa, telling him what they want or explaining how they were much nicer than they were naughty this year. Sarah Kreigel’s second grade class has been very busy writing letters this week. Not to Saint Nick, but to U.S. soldiers in Kuwait. Kreigel said that the idea came from one of her students whose mother served in the military and one of her favorite things was recieving Christmas letters from students. “After discussing the idea further with her mother, we decided that it would be a great experience to honor those who serve in our armed forces by writing to them to tell them how thankful we are for everything they do to protect our freedom,” Kreigel said. Kreigel explained that the parent still had contact with her unit in Kuwait and was able to provide proper addresses. 40 students participated in writing letters to soldiers and the letters were sent out earlier this week. “I am so proud of my students for thinking of our soldiers, especially during the holidays,” Kreigel said. “I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to help my students see that they can make a difference.”
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. To be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with
child. 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. And there were in the same country shepherds 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 SEE CHRISTMAS, PAGE 2

CHRISTMAS: the birth of Christ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
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.

Special primary election results
Adam Jarchow, Balsam Lake and Patty Schachtner, Somerset will face off in the special election next month to fill Wisconsin’s Tenth Senate District seat vacated by former senator Sheila Harsdorf. Both candidates will be on the ballot along with Libertarian candidate Brian Corriea, Wilson in the Jan. 16 special election. Harsdorf resigned Jarchow last month after being appointed by Governor Scott Walker to the office of secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Jarchow defeated Shannon Zimmerman, River Falls on the Republican ticket. Jarchow received 70 percent of the vote in Burnett County with 373 votes, Zimmerman comparatively got 157 votes. He won every municipality in the county except the Town of Schachtner Lincoln. Vote totals are unofficial until Friday’s canvass.
In the 10th Senate District as a whole, Jarchow beat his opponent 3,793 to 2,803 or 58 to 42 percent. Jarchow said on Facebook Tuesday night that he received a phone call from Zimmerman congratulating him on his victory and thanked his supporters. On the Democratic side Schachtner defeated John Calabrese, Glenwood and Rueben Herfindahl, River Falls. In Burnett County, Schachtner collected over 67 percent of the votes with 164, compared to 65 for Calabrese and 13 for Herfindahl. She also won every municipality in the county except Corriea the Town of Anderson. S h ht Schachtner received 70 percent of the vote district wide with 3,394. Calabrese and Herfindahl got 1,230 and 207, respectively. Schachtner released a statement Tuesday night announcing her victory and thanking her opponents. Corriea ran unopposed in the primary and received 6 votes in Burnett County and 46 votes in the district.
Devlin
Rogers
of THC, second offense, a class I felony and felony bail-jumping. Angela Rogers, 38, of Siren was charged with possession of THC, first offense, a misdemeanor and misdemeanor bail-jumping. According to the criminal complaint, officers were dispatched to a drug complaint on Johnson Street in Siren. Devlin and Rogers were allegedly in the house smoking marijuana in a bedroom with children in the next room. The pair had left the children
alone earlier in the day to buy the drugs. Officers said they could smell marijuana inside the residence. They spoke with Rogers at the door and encountered Devlin in the living room. One of the officers found a zippered pouch of suspected marijuana underneath several items on a table in the living room. One of the children said that Devlin told them to hide the marijuana in a vodka bottle and put it in the basement. She allegedly said that the police wouldn’t search the basement. Devlin told police that she had not told the child to hide the drugs, but to destroy them along with the alcohol. Devlin admitted to smoking marijuana with Rogers, but denied that the marijuana was hers. Earlier this year Devlin was charged with disorderly conduct and expelling a bodily fluid at a public safety official. The Sentinel reported earlier this year that Rogers was charged with eight counts of child neglect in March. Devlin made her initial appearance in court on Dec. 20. Rogers is due in court on Feb. 7 for her pre-trial conference.
Officer will be re-instated JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN–– At a special closed session village board meeting last week, it was decided that Part-time officer Trevor Thiex will be re-instated after his suspension ends next month. “The board voted and the village will retain the services of Thiex as an officer,” said Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers. “He will remain parttime following his suspension.”
Thiex was convicted of OWI with passenger under the age of 16 earlier this month stemming from an incident last year in Shawano County. Thiex was also on administrative leave from the Sheriff’s department, where he served as a deputy. “Trevor resigned from the sheriff’s office last Monday,” Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said. “He is no longer employed with our department.”

Greatest. Present. Ever.
The best Christmas I ever had was sometime in February many years ago. It was February and not the standard December because my mom is a genius. My little brother and I had been taking drum lessons for about a year. Since we began, I had been demanding a drum set. We would tell our mom all the time that we wanted one, even though our father hated loud noises. (I’m fairly certain that my love of drums and loud noises comes from that very fact.) Dad hated loudness and mom hated not letting our creativity flow. After an entire year of going through catalogs and our local music shop, I knew exactly what I wanted. It was the biggest and Sentinel baddest drum set ever. It was everything I wanted in my instrument Editor and at $9,000 I thought it was an Jonathan Richie easy get. As I remember, my mom had it planned out the whole time, but kind of forgot to tell me until right before Thanksgiving. “Jonathan, I know you want a drum set, but you’re going to have to wait until around your birthday,” my mother stated. My birthday is in February and I thought having to wait that long would be the death of me. Why did we have to wait? Like I said, my mom is a genius. She knew that rich kids would get drum sets for Christmas and quickly become disillusioned because, unlike me, they would not be skilled sitting behind the skins. One cold evening, I believe while my older brother had his trombone lesson, we all went to the music shop and perused. I vividly remember the employee laughing at me when I asked if they had the set I desired, 16 drums with over 20 cymbals. They had the most basic of drum sets, all very lightly used. Then it appeared in front of me in a tight hallway of recently returned instruments. A five-piece blue drum set by Mapex, Venus series. It was a glorious sight and fit in the minivan perfectly. We got it home, and I immediately began setting it up, although I had no idea what I was doing. I pulled my throne up to the kit and played for hours. The next day I got up and looked at my catalog only to notice that I hadn’t set it up properly (I had the snare and floor tom mixed up and the ride cymbal on the wrong side, basically it was backwards.) After a few quick adjustments, it was ready. Over the next 10 years I played it almost everyday. I would grab my studio headphones and iPod, then I would play every song I knew over and over again until I didn’t miss a note or realized I was missing a lot of notes. I went to college and ol’ blue stayed at my Mom’s house and is still there today. Currently, I’ve got no plans of bringing it up here and making a bunch of ruckus in Siren. But maybe my niece and nephew will want it someday, even if their parents don’t.

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, they suggested she write the New York Sun for an answer. She did, and Francis P. From the Publisher’s Church, a Civil War correspondent, wrote an editorial response which Desk has become an American literary classic. Mr. Church died in 1906. The Tom Stangl New York Sun closed its doors in 1950. Vi i i O’Hanlon O’H Virginia 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 eight 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 time ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the hearts of childhood. From The New York Sun, September 21,1897 To our valued friends, subscribers & advertisers, best wishes for a happy holiday season - Merry Christmas! As always, I welcome your comments.

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

THE CAPITOL REPORT
New group seeks to bridge gap between alternative energy, conservative ideology WISPOLITICS.COM
Scott Coenen, executive director for the newly formed Wisconsin Conservative Energy Forum, says the group will target Republican lawmakers with educational outreach on the benefits of renewable and alternative energy sources. “I envision us putting on conferences here in Madison, going into legislators’ districts, as well, as this technology and these things spread a little bit more,” he said Dec. 12. “There’s going to be an opportunity for us to show this directly to legislators, to decision makers here in the Capitol, and show them exactly how it impacts their district directly.” As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, WISCEF won’t be lobbying on any specific policy issues, Coenen says – at least not at first. “I think our initial challenge is just to reframe this issue,” he said. And though issue ads could be a part of the group’s strate-
gy “in the distant future,” for now it will focus on hands-on education and advocacy, Coenen said. Coenen has been involved in Republican politics for about a decade, working as a staff member in the Capitol for five years. He argues that clean, alternative energy sources fit with elements of the conservative ideology: cost effectiveness, jobs, economic development, national security and stewardship of natural resources. “Massive and unprecedented cost declines in the price of solar and wind generation are shaking up energy markets,” Coenen said. He noted the cost of solar generation has dropped 80 percent in the past 10 years, while the price of wind generation has dropped 66 percent in the past seven. “Put plainly, solar and wind generation already are, or soon will be, cost competitive with fossil fuels,” he said.
The group will be funded by the national Conservative Energy Network, making Wisconsin the 19th state in its system, Coenen says. This network was launched in 2016, and is funded by various foundations, grants, tech companies and others from around the country. The leadership council for this new group includes: former Gov. Tommy Thompson; former state Rep. Mark Honadel; Matt Neuman, president of Neumann Companies and co-owner of SunVest Solar; Wisconsin Counties Association Outreach Manager Jon Hochkammer; Wisconsin Young Republicans Chairman Jake Margis; Ryan Owens, a UW-Madison professor of political science; and Debbie Crave, vice president of Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese in Waterloo.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: As law enforcement officials, one of our most difficult duties is having to inform families that a loved one has been seriously injured or killed in a crash. It’s especially difficult when the tragedy is easily preventable - such as when someone makes the dangerous and irresponsible decision to get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle while impaired. To help prevent needless tragedies this holiday season, the Burnett Co. Law Enforcement Officers along with the Village of Grantsburg, Siren & Webster Police Officers will join law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin in the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign that runs from December 15 through New Year’s Day. Officers will be doing extra patrols for longer hours - not
simply to make arrests or issue citations - but to encourage voluntary compliance with traffic laws that protect us all. As motorists and citizens, we all play an important role. Every time you travel, make sure everyone is buckled up. Watch your speed, and always drive sober and alert. Never allow someone to drive impaired. Remember your actions could save their life, or someone else’s. If you observe a driver that you suspect is impaired, call 911 from a safe location and provide as much information as possible. We’re hoping for a safe and enjoyable holiday season, and wish all of you the same. Sheriff Ron Wilhelm Chief Jeff Schinzing – Grantsburg Police Dept. Chief Chris Sybers – Siren Police Dept. Chief Mike Spafford – Webster Police Dept.
The gifts I give my family and friends at Christmas pale in comparison to the love I really feel for them. There is no gift I can give them that even comes close to what I wish I could give them. The gifts of peace, love and joy can’t be wrapped up in pretty paper and tucked under a Christmas tree. Wild Chow If I could give those gifts, I would Lisa Erickson give them to all my family, friends and…come to think of it, I’d give them to everyone. I wish the world was a kinder, more forgiving and loving place, but it’s not always that way. There are people who have bad attitudes and could care less if they cut in front of you on the road or they steal your credit card information or lie straight to your face, but we don’t have to let those people ruin our day or our attitudes. We can be better. We are in charge of our own selves. We get to choose our attitudes, which is like giving gifts to others. Giving gifts
Only
of peace, love and good cheer requires us to dig deep on some days, but in reality, you’re also giving yourself a good gift. It’s not hard to bake an extra few cookies or give someone a compliment. Bring the cookies with you when you are shopping and give them to the cashier or share them at work. Or, tell people how much they mean to you. Christmas is a magical time of year. Gift giving is a perfect example of reflecting the love of God for His people by sending His son, Jesus, as a baby to save the world — the greatest gift of all! Merry Christmas everyone!

Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until just combined. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each portion onto a piece of parchment or floured surface to about 1/4 thickness. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with more parchment paper.

were going to buy diesel fuel for that, it’s 1,200 gallons of diesel fuel per day that we don’t have to buy,” she said. Ryan Owen, a professor of political science at UW-Madison and another member of the WISCEF leadership council, says right-wing public leaders and private interests can collaborate for economic benefit while preserving the environment from damage caused by fossil fuels. “We’re part of a contract,” he said. “A contract that includes the living, the dead, and those yet to be born. We have to be good stewards for them.” He sees this as a nonpartisan issue that people on both sides of the aisle can get behind. “As the parties take on ideologies that make them drift to one side or to the other, I think there’s an excellent opportunity there for us to bring the conversation back to a common-sense position,” Owen said.
Merry Christmas!

for renewable energy is needed in Wisconsin. Her family farm operates two anaerobic digesters, which use waste products to generate electricity. Each digester tank is 750,000 gallons, and together they produce 663 kilowatts of electricity per hour from the waste of 2,000 cows. That’s enough electricity to power the farm, the cheese factory, and over 300 area homes, she says. “We need to work towards more support for that kind of renewable energy, and to be able to be paid for it,” Crave said yesterday at the news conference for the Wisconsin Conservative Energy Forum. “Know that in the countryside – especially in Wisconsin – farmers are moving to these kinds of things.” She says they’re doing so because of economic viability, but also because it’s the right thing to do. “The heat, the fuel, and the electricity we produce – if we

WOT: Women of Tomorrow lunch Storm costs highway department large chunk of winter budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER–– At last week’s Infrastructure meeting, the maintenance, airport and highway departments of Burnett County gave monthly reports. These reports touched on first floor remodel of the government center, how much salt was used in the season’s first big storm and a few beaver dams. “We used $32,000 worth of salt in two days,” Highway commissioner Mike Hoefs said. “With a budget for winter operation of $300,000. That’s almost 11 percent of our budget used for one storm.” Hoefs was referring to the storm that hit the night of Dec. 4. There was a lightning and rain storm then the temperature dropped 20 degrees and it began to snow. He continued to explain that there were no serious injuries or accidents reported. “We didn’t receive any calls about the situation,” Hoefs said. “People don’t like, it but they seemed to understand the situation.” The committee took time to thank the highway department and certain members pointed out surrounding municipalities that roads were not as well taken care of following the storm. First floor remodel County Administrator, Nate Ehalt gave his update on the First floor remodel currently in progress at the government center. “We are a couple of weeks behind,”
Ehalt said. “But it’s not a big deal.” Ehalt added that furniture has been purchased for the first floor offices and it will cost around $50,000. “It is a lot of money, but this furniture will last us about 30 years,” Ehalt said. “It’s a fairly economical choice.” He also said that employees at the government center were going through a bit of an adjustment period with the remodel. “I’ve explained to all the workers that there will be a period of everyone adjusting to the changes,” Ehalt said. “They will work in it for six months and then we’ll address any changes that need to be made.”
The third point Harms made was telling the students to never be afraid when trying something different. “What am I willing to do, to step out of my comfort zone? Is a question you should be asking yourself Retzer said she tells the mentors at the lunch to tell the students about the good, bad, and ugly of their professions. “We want the girls to know about the positives along with the worst parts about the job that they’re interested in,” Retzer said. One of the mentors at the lunch was former Burnett County Circuit Court Kenneth Kutz. He sat at a table with perspective law students and a student with an interest in art. “I have the best job, since retiring as a judge. I re-create classic comic book covers,” Kutz said as he pulled a large canvas out of his bag. “I’ve always used art as stress relief.”
He then began talking about his career in law and asking the students what they wanted for their future. “Some of the things you have to figure out is, what type of law do you want to practice and do you want to live in a small town or big city?,” Kutz said. The students told Kutz about their ambitions and why they are looking at going into law for their future endeavors. Kutz then dished out more advice about being a lawyer. “Also, if you do get into law, get as much time in the courtroom as possible, lots of lawyers don’t get a lot of court time and that makes a difference when advancing your career.” After the pasta meal, Harms began her speech and explained how women have opportunities in society that simply did not exist for other generations. “At this time in our country, women have so many opportunities,” Harms said. “Your future is as big as you to make them.”
Beavers Ehalt also explained how three of four beaver dams near the airport were eliminated. “They were back in the trees and affected water level,” Ehalt said. “They build dams overnight and when the water builds up in one place it impacts others.” Committee members suggested hiring a trapper and that concluding this issue should take care of the airport’s water issues. In Other News • The committee is shopping around for a different elevator company. Committee members said the move has been made to “keep everybody honest.” Right now there are three companies coming in before Jan. 5 to place bid. Their current contract ends in February.
UW-Superior Vice Chancellor, Brenda Harms spoke to junior girls from Grantsburg High School. She told them to be open to new things and that when she was their age she had no idea where her career would take her. JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Dogtown 45 acreage The land parcel known as Dogtown 45 is located in Webb Lake off of Dogtown Road. It is surrounded by county forest and is quite barren. “There is no electricity or water linked up to the acreage,” said Forest and Parks administrator Jake Nichols. “We’re looking at acquiring the land for $60,000 with an interest free loan while using a stewardship grant.” After a short discussion the committee decided to have the land appraised and signed off on
Biking Dan Campion of Keizer Lake Area Trails made a presentation on the progress he has made with the trails in Webster over the year. “This year we put in about two miles of trails in two different sites,” Campion said. “We can easily put in 10-15 miles of trails.” Campion is putting in bike trails in Webster south of Bushley Road in between Highway A and H. Representatives for Fat Fish 40 attended the meeting in hopes of having their race route given the OK. The Fat Fish 40 is a proposed race taking place next May in Webster. The name comes from fat tire bikes, the only bikes allowed in the race and fish because Webster is the sunfish capital, 40 comes from the race being 40 miles. The proposed route would go
along the Gandy Dancer trail as well as county roads. Nichols said after looking at the route that some of it crosses private property. He told the race representatives that they can either change the route or get approval from each of the property owners. “If you want to change the route, we can help with that,” Nichols said. “You’ll also need state approval to use sections of the Gandy Dancer.” The race is scheduled for May 5.

School board hears feedback on Veterans Day and Christmas Programs JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN–– The Siren school board meeting on Monday was full of praise for last month’s Veterans Day Program, the music department and student’s involved in community outreach. During the president’s report, Peggy Moore spoke to all the positive feedback the school received after their Veterans Day Program. This year, Sirentel teamed up with the History Channel to honor all Veterans at Siren School. During the program, all Veterans in attendance were announced and given t-shirts. Then they were invited to eat lunch with the students. “Everyone loved it,” Moore said. “People are wanting us to do it again next year and they all want to come back to eat lunch with the kids.” Siren Band Director, Bryn Anderson made a quick appearance at the meeting before the Siren High School Christmas Concert to thank the board for bringing back full-time music to the school. “The difference is absolutely night and day,” Anderson said. “It’s been

we’d like to juggle, but the people there really just want to talk,” Imhoff said. Moore added that she was glad the school is doing this kind of community outreach. She said it reminded her of when she was in high school and students would go to Kapes Lakeside all the time to visit with residents. Siren school is looking to join the CESA Co-op for insurance. “If we join this co-op, it will be the largest insurance co-op in the state of Wisconsin,” Siren superintendent Kevin Shetler said. Moore said the decision would be made as a collective and that the board will not be making choices for everyone. “We’re all going to talk about it. We’ll see what works for everyone,” Moore said. “We’re not just going to come out of a room and tell you what we’re doing.” The board accepted donations from the Lioness Club for Santa Day, Adventure Church Donation to FCCLA for Siren students winter gear. They also received $500 from the local VFW Post 1256 for a new flag pole and received an anonymous lunch account donation for $703.60.

First day hikes at Straight Lake State park First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America’s State Parks to encourage people to get outdoors. On New Year’s Day, hundreds of free, guided hikes will be organized in all 50 states. Kids and adults all across America will be participating in First Day Hikes, getting their hearts pumping and enjoying the beauty of a state park. Last year nearly 28,000 people rang in the New Year, collectively hiking over 66,000 miles throughout the country! First Day Hikes are led by knowledgeable state park staff and volunteers. The distance and rigor vary from park to park, but all hikes aim to create a fun experience for the whole family. People are invited to savor the beauty of the state park’s natural resources with the comfort of an experienced guide so they may be inspired to take advantage of these local treasures throughout the year. The Ice Age Trail is a unit of the National Parks and traverses many of Wisconsin’s State Parks. It is in Interstate State Park, Wisconsin’s first, that Ice Age Trail through-hikers start the 1,000+ mile trek at the Western Terminus, and after 33 miles they walk into the newest State Park; Straight Lake. Ice Age Trail volunteers and Park staff will be leading two loop walks made by linking new Park trails with the Ice Age Trail. The longest is about 2 miles, the short one about one mile in distance. The terrain is challenging! Spectacular roller coaster
filled with oxygen-carrying capillaries which fuel our brains and consume one third of the body’s energy. During the colder months, it is important to keep your head covered to maintain function and not lose precious body heat. You may want to bring a warmer/ heavier hat for rest periods. Keep your water bottle warm. Whether you are at the campsite or on the trail, a foam sleeve like a koozie will help prevent the water from freezing in a bottle. Nothing warms your body or your spirits like warm liquid by a campfire. Boil water to take with you as you hike. Also, to keep water from freezing, keep your water bottle on the inside of your jacket – properly sealed, of course. Don’t toss the sunscreen. While this is most important if you are hiking in a snowy region, winter hikers often forget about the sun’s glare reflecting off of white snow. Be prepared for shorter days. As early as October, dusk settles earlier and more quickly than in the summer. Have a good idea of the usable daylight hours before going hiking. Always carry a headlamp or flashlight with extra batteries. In addition to these tips and hints, remember to follow normal safety practices as well when hiking in the winter. Be sure of the gear you take with you and if you have any specific questions, ask a local outdoor expert so you can stay safe.

The American Hiking Society offers Tips for Cold Weather Hiking; Hiking during the winter can be fun as long as you prepare with these tips. Dress in layers. While it is perhaps nice to have a huge,
fluffy parka on the ski slopes, it really isn’t practical for the trail. Instead, take several layers you can peel off or put on when you stop and go on the trail. Your base layer should be a wicking fabric that will pull your sweat away from the skin. Overheating is a dangerous threat since excessive moisture that isn’t allowed to escape can freeze and cause hypothermia. If you ever wondered why some of your jackets have zippers under the armpits, it’s to keep air circulating and prevent your clothes from getting wet. Wear a hat! Our heads are

Enjoying the holidays while recovering from addiction SUBMITTED BY: CALEB ANDERSON AT RECOVERY HOPE
When the holidays arrive, it’s a time for most people to eat, socialize and drink. Along with the turkey and stuffing, wine flows and champagne bubbles. But what if you’re a recovering addict? How do you celebrate the holidays without relapsing into your old ways? After all, the holidays are not just joyful. They can be stressful too. Family dinners may be filled with tension amongst relatives. You may deal with depression because of loved ones who have passed away or relationships that are damaged because of your past drug or alcohol abuse. Holidays can make you feel lonely if you don’t have the support of family and friends. The stress of paying for gifts when money is tight coupled with battling holiday shoppers is no picnic either. All of these factors combined can make you relapse if you’re not careful. Here are some tips to help you enjoy the season without succumbing to the lure of alcohol. Create a plan to avoid a relapse. If you start each day thinking about what you need to do to stay sober, you have a better chance of avoiding alcohol. Think about how you want your life to be once the holidays are over. In other words, keep your eyes on the prize. If you stay focused on how you want your life to be, you won’t be distracted by the obstacles that litter your path during the holidays. In short, staying sober during the months of making merry will assist you in your path to achieving a better life. Let people know that you are committed to sobriety. For example, if you are going to attend a holiday party, contact the host or hostess in advance and ask them about the menu for the party. If they plan to serve alcohol and they’re your family, see if they will provide non-alcoholic drinks for you. You might even ask if they can avoid serving alcohol. You can always bring your own beverages too. Try bringing a couple bottles of a non-alcoholic drink or punch. You can sip your drink, socialize and remain sober as well. If the family plans to go out to celebrate the holidays, ask them if you can go to a restaurant that doesn’t serve alcohol. Of course, you’ll want to avoid bars and night clubs since these types of establishments serve alcohol as well. . Don’t participate in conversations that revolve around alcohol. At holiday parties, some people like to brag about how much they drank during past holidays. You may even encounter party guests that get their jollies by bringing criticizing others who have experienced drunken episodes in the past. If these types of conversations take place, remove yourself from the situation. These types of interactions will only interfere with your addiction recovery. Avoid being alone during the holidays. While you may live far away from family or your relationship with them may be strained, find stable friends you can spend time with during these times of celebration. Spending time with positive people or respect your commitment to stay sober will help you avoid the depression common among recovering addicts during the holiday months. Recovering from addiction is a difficult hill to climb. But when you are a recovering addict during the holidays, the hill quickly morphs into a mountain. Stress, depression and anxiety during the holiday months can easily cause you to relapse if you aren’t prepared. If you plan ahead, keep your thoughts on your future goals and avoid surrounding yourself with temptation, you can enjoy the holiday season without jeopardizing your sobriety. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org
Danbury Cares delivers almost 400 gifts JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
DANBURY–– Danbury Cares and Interfaith Caregivers have teamed up this winter to provide toys and clothes for children. All the donated items were distributed on Tuesday. “So far we’ve reached 397 kids in 162 families,” Denny Blodgett said. “It’s mostly warm clothes and toys for Christmas.” Interfaith Caregivers and Danbury Cares have been stockpiling the gifts at the Webster Firehouse while they package everything together and prepare it for distribution.
“Families give us their wish list and we use the money that’s been donated to go out and buy gifts,” Barb Blodgett said. Barb and Denny were the first Interfaith Caregiver volunteers over 25 years ago when it was designed only for the elderly. “It has really grown in the last 25 years,” Barb said. Linda Young runs Danbury Cares, a non-profit business, with her husband Randy. Linda has collected over 200 gifts for Christmas this year. “Some of these kids have their entire family living in campers. These campers have no toys and no trees” Linda said. “We stepped
up and gave them some donated toys and a tree that someone had and set it up in their front yard.” “This is what she does,” Barb said of Linda and her volunteer work. “She just has the biggest heart.” Denny, Barb and Linda were very busy earlier this week. As soon as they have all the donations ready for distribution, they loaded up their vehicles and started taking them to the people. Denny has also been delivering firewood in Danbury, free of charge, to families who need it. As of last Friday, they had donated 217 loads of firewood.

Snowmobilers ‘Know Before You Go’ BURNETT CTY—Although much of the northern half of Wisconsin has experienced colder temperatures and accumulating snow the past week, the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) wants to remind snowmobilers many, if not most, snowmobile trails in Wisconsin are not open yet. Before a trail can be opened, the ground under the snow needs to be frozen to ensure trails crossing wet areas are safe. In agricultural areas, adequate snow is necessary to protect the ground and crops the trail travels over. To ensure you know which trails are open in your community, go to awsc.org or travelwisconsin.com/snowreport/snowmobile for an up to date status of the area or county you’re interested in riding. After trails are opened, be aware as early season riding conditions magnify possible hazards under the snow. Snowmobilers should always ride with caution and NEVER ride on any lakes or rivers without checking with locals to ensure the ice is safe for snowmobiles. The AWSC consists of over 600 snowmobile clubs from every county in Wisconsin. Community based, snowmobile clubs and their 40,000-plus volunteer members are solely responsible for developing and maintaining over 24,000 miles of public snowmobile trails. Club members brush, clear, sign, and prepare the trails, along with grooming them to ensure they are smooth and safe. Annually, these volunteers work many hours in partnership with dozens of gracious landowners to ensure trail access, as most trails are on private property. Without the support of thousands of Wisconsin landowners, the trail system would not exist. Thus, riding on closed trails or traveling off a marked trail is not only dangerous – it’s trespassing. Wisconsin’s snowmobile program is administered by the DNR. This user-funded program provides the funding that reimburses clubs for some of the expenses they incur. Funding come from snowmobile registration and trail pass fees, along with some gas
tax monies snowmobilers generate. The season is here, so make sure your snowmobile has a current registration and a 2018 Wisconsin Trail Pass. For more information on Registration and Trail Pass requirements, go to www.dnr.wi.gov. Snowmobiling is not only fun, it contributes millions of dollars in economic impact to Wisconsin’s winter economy. For more information or to join a local club, go to the AWSC website at www.awsc.org .
Trade River Trail open; Coon Lake waiting for more snow
FREDERIC—The snow that arrived last week has set the stage for a great Nordic skiing season in western Wisconsin. The December snowfall has provided enough base to open the Trade River Ski Trail and the Coon Lake Ski Trail will open following a few more inches of snow. Until there is more of a base, rock or “B” skis are recommended. With more snow predicted for late in the week, skiing should be good for the upcoming long Christ-
mas and New Years weekends. Volunteers from the Viking Ski Club are rested and ready when the snow falls and immediately begin rolling a base that will set up nicely with the following cooler weather. The Coon Lake Trail, just east of Coon Lake on Ash Street (in Frederic), has a little over four kilometers of groomed trail and the Trade River Trail (one and a half miles south of Frederic on 150th Ave) has grown to about 10 kilometers.
Both trails are groomed for classic and skating with tracks set when a sufficient base is present. Grooming is done by local volunteers, and donation boxes are provided at both locations. There is no charge to ski or park, but donations are appreciated to help with the cost of grooming and maintaining the trails. Volunteers put in many hours during the year to clear brush, mow, grub out exposed roots and rocks from the trails, plus the grooming to maintain a smooth and safe skiing surface that needs to be redone often to compact new snow, and remove wear patterns from skiers. Winter street access to Coon Lake is provided on the north side from Elm Street. For more information on our local cross country trails, call 800222-POLK or visit www.polkcountytourism.com. For information on area or regional cross-county skiing trails, events, and the latest trail conditions, visit www.skinnyski.com.
WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
Winter will officially be arriving this week and with it a reminder to pet owners and animal lovers to take extra steps to make sure any animals that spend time outside have the protection they need to survive the cold temps we know are here to stay for a while. Access to protected garages, barns and porches with insulated cat or dog houses should be provided for cats and dogs who are accustomed to being outside. Animals that are not used to spending lots of time outside in the snow and cold need extra protection when they do go out – booties and sweaters if your dog will tolerate them! If you see an animal outside who shouldn’t be, call the Humane Society of Burnett County to report it – its owner may have already reported their pet is missing. Please don’t bring any animals to the shelter without calling first. Readers of this column are probably familiar with Gus, a big lovable yellow lab who came to the HSBC shelter months ago after his owner could no longer keep him and his house mate. Gus had lived most of his five years outside in a kennel and had not learned very many social skills. Consequently, although he is a super dog, finding the right adoptive home for him was tough – no kids, no cats, no dogs he didn’t know. He just didn’t know how to control his impulse to jump and bark and never seemed to be at ease. The HSBC staff have worked with Gus these many months teaching him basic manners and self-control with standard training methods along with alternative techniques like essential oil therapy and Reiki. Gus has made tremendous progress and the shelter staff believe he is ready for his forever home, with the right people willing and able to continue Gus’s training routine. Just to make sure they were right, the shelter staff made arrangements for Gus to live in a foster home for several weeks. There were no children in the foster home, but there were several other large dogs used to having their mom’s attention all to themselves. Wonder of wonders! Gus fit right in like he had always been there! Gus is still at his foster home, but is ready for adoption. If you, or someone you know, think that Gus would make a great addition to your family, give the shelter a call at 715-866-4096 to arrange for a meet and greet. All adoptive parents need to fill out an adoption application which is available at the shelter website www.hsburnettcty.org. HSBC is open to the public Tuesday – Friday, noon to 5 p.m. and on Saturday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Wrestlers strong against Shell Lake BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—The Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling squad had a home meet, demonstrating their prowess in front of a good Grantsburg crowed on Thursday night, defeating the Shell Lake Lakers 32-24. Dominic Caroon and Mikel Louis both earned pins. Nolan Johnson Hunter Sellent, Landyn Johnson and Merlin Hibbs all achieved decisions over their opponents. Said Coach Chris Bartlett of his wrestlers, “The kids put on a great show. Out of the eight total matches wrestled, (including one JV) we won six of them.” “We started the night down 18-0. Brad (Lucas) moved up a weight to get away from their state qualifier at 160. I was hoping he could battle with him, but this kid was a strong kid. He fought hard. We knew we were going to need to get some pins to give ourselves a chance.
GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL
Mikel Louis dominates his opponent from Shell Lake as the Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren team defeated Shell Lake last Thursday.
“Dominic (Caroon) was able to catch his guy, put him straight to his back and get the pin. Mikel's confidence and his surprising quickness for a big man showed. It took 'til the third, but he was able to come away with a pin.' “Nolan (Johnson) at 106 had some nice takedowns and was able to ride out his opponent.” “Hunter (Sellent) dominated his opponent, but the wrestler was very flexible. Hunter wasn't able to get the pin, but he did get a technical fall.” “Shell Lake likes to catch you and throw you to your back every chance they get. After Landyn's win, Shell Lake was looking for a pin in the final match to win the dual. Merlin (Hibbs) had the better hips and came out on top on a few rolls.” “It was a very entertaining dual. Shell Lake brought a lot of fans and the place was loud.” The wrestlers next match is Thursday at St. Croix Falls. Starting time is 7 p.m.

Blizzard close in one game at Marshfield tournament BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
MARSHFIELD—The Burnett Blizzard participated in the Marshfield hockey tournament this past weekend. Two games were lopsided against the Blizzard, but one game was very entertaining and ended up being a nail-biter. Said head coach Rick Quimby, “We had a flurry of games this weekend. We weren’t ready to play Thursday night and the scoreboard showed that we weren’t ready. It’s still early in the season and we are seeing lots of improvement from first time goal tender, Thorne Carter, but what I am asking him to do is a monumental task. Goalies at the varsity level have been training since usually since they were eight years old. We are asking him to condense all those years of training into weeks! Not an easy task. He is doing as well as can be expected. The team however needs to show up every game to play and we just didn’t do that Thursday night!”
got out played in the third period. It’s tough when I am asking senior defensemen Jase Quimby and Brenton Nelson to spend 12 plus minutes each period on the ice. But freshman defensemen Trent Zenzen is showing signs of improvement and will be getting more and more ice as he adjusts to varsity level play. Lucas Hunter took a year off last year and is also gaining leaps and bounds each game and got to see a lot more ice this weekend as a result.” “We had good all-around puck movement, decent offensive plays and some line mate changes that worked well. Hopefully we can build on that success moving forward.”
Vs. Marshfield “Marshfield game was an eye opener again,” reported the coach after the 11-1 loss. “We suffered some injuries and fatigue and just couldn’t get into the game.” The Blizzard's only goal came from Brenton Nelson with an assist to Jase Quimby in the third period of play.
Friday vs. Regis
Close one to Chequamegon
“Regis is a solid team and we went goal for goal with them up to the third period. They have a very deep bench and just wore out our players with some quick break outs and good puck control. We finally generated some offense. We scored six goals Friday night before the wheels fell off and we
“Chequamegon was a tough one to lose,” lamented the coach following the 6-5 loss. “We out-played them again! We had solid defensive play from Jase Quimby and Brenton Nelson again even though both were injured. Our forward lines did very well and we were able to use the speed of Jared Lee

and Tanner Van Meter to cause some turn overs and get some offensive zone pressure. “Our third line played very solid with Carter Johnson, Austin Anderson and Trevor Adolphson. We had a couple of bad bounces (Jase Quimby banked one off the post) and a couple of opportunities we just missed due to fatigue.” “Thorne Carter played outstanding in net and kept us in the game. We took a 5-3 lead and just tried to hang on but a good shot here, a bad bounce there, and the score was tied. We ended up losing with 4.8 seconds left on a penalty shot by one of the leading goal scorers in the state. Tough loss, but the boys played solid throughout and fought hard right to the buzzer.” The Blizzard scored all five of their goals in the middle period. Taylor Zenzen got a goal at the 1:30 mark with an assist to Tanner Van Meter. Logan Meagher got the next two scores with assists to Tanner Van Meter and Taylor Zenzen on the first goal and an assist to Jared Lee on the second. Carter Johnson scored the fourth goal with an assist to Brenton Nelson and Dawson Van Meter got the last one with another assist going to Nelson. After hosting Ashland at Siren on Tuesday, the Blizzard travel to Princeton, MN on Friday to face Cambridge at 7 p.m. Their next action takes place December 29-31 at the Barron Tournament.

Blizzard take it on the chin again BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
AMERY—The Burnett Blizzard took another loss, this time against the Amery Warriors on Thursday night by a 12-1 margin. The Warriors put four goals across in each of the three periods. In period one, two of the goals were power plays and two were even strength goals. In the second, the first was on a power play opportunity and the three remaining goals were even strength efforts. The same held true in the third period of play. It was in the last frame when the Blizzard scored as they put the puck across first. At the 0:07 mark, Tanner Van Meter hit the net on an unassisted effort. Thorne Carter was in the net for the Blizzard and turned away 29 of 41 shots. Ethan Mork was the Warrior net minder and he was 12 of 13 in the net. This week, the Blizzard, after hosting Ashland on Tuesday, travel to Princeton, MN to face Cambridge on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m.

Tigers win battle over Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers hosted the Grantsburg Pirates on Tuesday, Dec. 12 to open up conference play in an intense, sometimes chippy battle between two West Lakeland rivals. When the dust settled, the Tigers took the 79-71 win to go 1-0 in conference play for the young season. The refs’ whistles were busy all night as both teams had players in foul trouble, both had two players foul out, and both had two technical fouls called against them. There were 88 free thows shot during the game, 52 by Webster and 36 by Grantsburg. The Tigers came out fired up and put pressure on the Pirates right from the start as they struggled to get their offense going. Webster, on the other hand, set the tempo of the game and at one point held a 27-8 lead over the Pirates with 6:00 minutes left in the first half. The Tigers outrebounded the Pirates on both ends of the court, and in turn, had many second and third chances at the basket. They also forced Grantsburg into many uncharacteristic turnovers that the Tigers were able to convert to easy points. The Pirates were able to close the gap somewhat before the end of the first half, but Webster hung on to the momentum with a big rebound and put back by Hunter Rosenbaum at the buzzer to give Webster the 35-21 edge. Rosenbaum led all scorers with 12 first half points. Trevor Gustafson wasn’t far behind with 11 points. For the Pirates, Joseph Ohnstad was the only player to get into double digits in the first half with 10. “Two good teams went at it. We got out and played our game in the first half,” Webster coach Rob Sherrer said. “We got in some foul trouble in the second and had to conform to Grantsburg’s style of play and they creeped back into the game. I was proud of our guys for finishing the game strong. We have many teachable moments from the game and it’s always easier to get those messages across when we can get the victory. Jack Washburn stepped up big for us especial-

ly in the closing minutes. I thought Hunter Gustafson played really well in the post. He was just strong with the ball all night.” The Pirates turned up the defensive pressure in the second half and were able to force some Tiger turnovers that they converted to points. Unfortunately for the Pirates, there still seemed to be an invisible lid on the basket much of the time. They did outscore the Tigers this half, 50 to 44. For Webster, both Gustafson and Jack Washburn picked up their fourth foul early in the second half and had to sit some precious minutes. The Pirates took advantage and battled their way back into the game. A huge three-pointer by Austin Wedin at the 9:00 mark brought them within three, 43-46. The Tigers went on a run and pulled away slightly as Grantburg’s Ohnstad and Leo Chenal both fouled out of the game.
But the Pirates refused to go away, and kept battling to keep the Tigers within reach. With 1:00 left on the clock, Wedin hit another cruicial three-pointer to bring the Pirates within three points again, 68-71. They were forced to foul the Tigers to put them at the line, and Webster was steady at the charity stripe making 22 of 36 in the second half to seal the win. “We got beat by a good team on the road to start the conference season. We make no excuses, give credit to our opponent, but also realize that we didn’t execute the way expected to,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “Webster’s put together a nice team and will be good all season. It took us a while to get going on offense and we made some critical defensive mistakes throughout the game. All of the other things that happened, whether they were in our control or not, made it difficult to come out on top. We’re getting healthier by the day and continue to improve in the areas that will get us to where we want to go in February and March.” Webster’s Rosenbaum led all scorers with 22 points including a 10 for 12 night from the foul line. Washburn had a big night, racking up 20 points on the night. Fourteen of those came in the second half including seven clutch free throws late in the game. Trevor Gustafson finished his night with 15 points, seven of those at the line. Coleton Peterson had four points with Brad Sigfrids and Carson Stenberg adding two points each. For the Pirates it was Tyrell Brande leading the charge with 21 points — all of them coming in the second half. He had three big three-pointers and was four of five from the charity stripe. John Chenal ended his night with 17 hard fought points. Ohnstad had 16 points for the night including a six of eight night at the foul line. Wedin had nine points including two clutch three-pointers to keep the Pirates in the game. Luke Anderson had four points with Leo Chenal and Jared VanWatermeulen adding two points each. These two teams will face off again in Grantsburg on January 23 and it promises to be another exciting contest between two great teams.
Pirates sail past Vikings BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
FREDERIC—Grantsburg had all 11 players find the basket and get their names into the scorebook on Friday night as they dismantled the Frederic Vikings for an easy 83-38 win. The Pirates’ defense proved too much for Frederic, forcing several turnovers which Grantsburg’s high-flying offense was more than happy to take advantage of for some easy fast breaks. Leo Chenal, who missed the first four games of the season recovering from an injury from football season, got his first start of the season. He put on a show for the fans with two big dunks that got crowd out of their seats. The Pirates racked up 52 first half points while holding the Vikings to just 17 points as 10 Pirate players got a chance to log some quality varsity minutes. “Was truly a total team effort, with all 11 guys scoring in this game,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “Defensively,
we did a lot of things right to start the game.” Leo Chenal was the leading scorer for the Pirates with 19. Two others hit double digits on the night— John Chenal had 12 and Tyrell Brande had 11. Joseph Ohnstad was next on the list with nine points, with David MacKean and Gabe Chenal adding eight points each. Luke Anderson and Austin Wedin chipped in five points each, and Jacob Phillips hit a long ball for three points. Joey Duncan and Jared VanWatermeulen had two points each to end the scoring. The Pirates host the Luck Cardinals on Tuesday, Dec. 19 before heading into the holiday break. They will head to Siren to take on the Dragons on January 5 for the late game of a doubleNick Hallberg header. Tip off is 7:15 p.m. Pirates Coach

LUCK—”Luck jumped out on us big in the first half,” recalled Webster Tiger coach Rob Scherer following the Tigers' 59-52 win at Luck on Friday night. “We weren't moving our feet and Luck's sharp shooters were making us pay. We also were having a tough time with
consistency and flow of our offense in the first half. The Cardinals held a 33-25 intermission lead with the help of 10 points from Levi Jensen nine from Payton Ellefson. Both Trevor Gustafson and Jack Washburn had seven to lead the Tigers. “In the second half, our guys did a better job of stopping dribble penetration which in turn made it easier to guard
the three point line. Offensively, we worked hard to get the ball inside where we felt we had the advantage,” continued Coach Scherer. “Trevor (Gustafson) had a monster game, hitting many mid-range jump shots. Jack (Washburn) played really well for us inside. He is such a gifted athlete, I would take him over anyone in our conference when it comes to playing at the
rim.” Gustafson poured in 11 points in the second half. Washburn put in seven and Hunter Rosenbaum tallied six. “Overall,” concluded the coach, “I can't overstate how big of a win it is for our program to go to Luck and come away with a victory. I do not know how long it has been since a Webster Tiger has walked off that court with a W.
It has to be since early 2000's.” The Tigers went 11 for 26 at the free throw line, committing just 11 fouls. Luck, on the other hand, went four for seven from the line and were whistled for 21 fouls. After traveling to Bruce on Tuesday night, the Tigers are off until they participate in the Clayton tournament during the Christmas holiday break.

Pirates rally late for win over Vikings BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
FREDERIC—Despite a tough first half for the Lady Pirates they rallied in the second half to outscore the Vikings 29-18 to get the 49-45 win on Friday night to up their conference record to 2-1. Grantsburg was a bit out of synch on both ends of the court, and their usual smothering defense was missing for most of the night. Typically, a majority of the Pirate offense comes from opportunities their defense creates. This was not the case Friday night, at least for the first half of the game. Brooke Quimby, who usually makes most of her points off of steals and layups, actually hit five three-pointers during this game on her way to a 19-point night. Olivia Ohnstad was held scoreless the first half, but she tallied 11 in the second half including five of six from the free throw line. Olivia Brock battled down low

for eight points as did Cassidy Chenal for her seven points. Janessa Bonneville added four points to round out the scoring for the Pirates.
The Pirates host the Luck Cardinals on Tuesday, Dec. 19 before heading into the Christmas break. Their next game is at Siren on January 5. Game time is 5:45 p.m.
LUCK—On Friday night, the Luck Cardinals defeated the Webster Tigers 48-41. “We played well in the first half, at one point jumping out to a 12 point lead,” said head coach Mat Wood. “Unfortunately, we ran into some foul trouble with our guards and Luck's pressure eventually got to our youth and we couldn't finish the game off. Hannah McDowell is playing extremely well as a freshmen. She has scored in the double figures in the last few games. Julia Gavin continues to play well inside and is starting to look to score. Unfortunately, at this point we are allowing too many offensive rebounds and allowing other teams get to the free throw line way too much.” “Luck shot 18 free throws in the second half compared to our seven (only one of which we made). So we are close to putting together a complete game.” The Tigers led 27-23 at the intermission. Hannah McDowell led the Tigers in scoring with 15. Julia Gavin added 14 with Summer Winkler and Sydney Raschke chipping in with eight and four points respectively. “I am proud of the way our kids fought after Luck went on a few runs. This is the third straight game we have led in the first half and couldn't finish. I am hoping as our seven underclassmen continue to grow, we will not have that let down in the second half of the season.” After a visit to Bruce on Tuesday, the Tigers host Lake Holcombe on Thursday. They continue their season January 2 with a game at Shell Lake.

Pirates’ big second half gets win BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—After trailing by one point at halftime, 19-20, the Grantsburg Pirates heated up offensively, outscoring the Webster Tigers 38-10 in the second half to record their first conference win of the season, 57-30 on Tuesday, Dec. 12. The Tigers came out aggressive, taking the ball to the hoop either for the score or drawing a foul on the Pirates to get to the foul line. They made seven out of 10
free throws in the first half. Unfortunately they weren’t as sharp in the second half, only making five of 17. On the other hand, Grantsburg’s offensive heated up the second half as they racked up 38 points and were 16 of 21 for free throws in that half. Olivia Ohnstad led the Pirate charge with 20 points for the night with half of those coming from the charity stripe. Brooke Quimby was next on the list with 17 points with several of those coming from steals and break away
layups. Olivia Brock also hit double digits with 11 points for the night. Cassidy Chenal added five points and Janessa Bonneville chipped in four to round out the scoring. For the Tigers it was Julia Gavin leading the way with 11 points. Freshman Hannah McDowell made her presence felt pouring in seven points. Makena Buffington played hard all night, driving the lane for six points. Summer Winkler and Jenna Gomulak each tallied three points.

Robert G. Saylor
“MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Our wish to you from the Grantsburg Senior Center! We held our Christmas Potluck along with our monthly and annual meeting on Wednesday, and as usual, there was plenty to eat and fun games and a review of the last year. After I let the cookie walks supply many of my goodies this year, I got caught up in the bustling and hustling, the music and thoughts of “Oh! What about my old standby recipes?” You know some recipes you just must do each year. It seems like there are never enough goodies to share. Sometimes you just must try something new! Those pictures of goodies in the magazines or on the web have us drooling, urging us to try a new recipe. Just they look so scrumptious! Yum! If it’s not the baking. I’m sure you’re one of those who’s starting to feel the pressure of the final days to Christmas! Running to make the concerts
and Christmas programs, last minute shopping and then home to get small jobs done before the family comes, soon to find yourself surrounded in wrapping paper as well the ribbon and bows. They seem to have taken over the house! “Now where is that tape?!” Sound familiar? We offer Wi-Fi, coffee and goodies, and check out the book nook. Questions on meal reservations, hall rentals, or other requests? Call the center at 715-463-2940 or email us at gburg118@gmail.com. Coming Events: •Business meeting the third Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. Everyone welcome! •Bingo the second Wednesday of the month at 2:30 p.m. •Blood pressures at Court Yard Square, First and third Thursday of the month, 10 a.m. to noon. •Fun with Friends, every day!
Stop in to our center and have free coffee during the month of December. Have you seen our army tank at the end of main street? It is decorated with red, white and blue and looks so nice. What a nice touch to be honoring our flag colors! We want to invite everyone to come to the center on Friday, December 22 at 10:30 a.m. until noon for a concert. The Siren students are going to come and entertain us with Christmas songs. We are looking forward to this. No lunch will be served that day, but you are welcome to stay and play Spades with us at 1 p.m. You could buy a lunch at the many restaurants in town. Last week, I had a senior moment as I put in the paper we would be playing 500 after the concert. We will be playing Spades. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused. This is such a busy time for everyone. We try to take in as many things as we can. We have been to some open houses and some concerts. It is a shame the days are not longer at this time of the year so we could take in the activities. We keep listening to the TV for the weather forecasts as so many people will be traveling. We only have to travel into the cities, but if the roads are bad, this can be a very long ride. We have been having good crowds for both 500 and Spades. Our 500 winners were Wade Rufsholm, Barb Geske, Ben Anderson, Steve Wenthe and Marilyn Niles. Doug Harlander got the 9 bid. Spade winners were Tony Rutter, Diane Bentley, Ashleigh Hughes, Roger Greely and Brittani Hughes. The 9 bid went to Steve Wenthe and Sue Newberger. We will be playing 500 and Spades the week of Christmas. Our center wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Dates To Remember: December 21, Monthly meeting at 9:30 a.m. December 22 , Siren students give a Christmas concert at the Senior Center at 10:30 a.m.

DATCP: 2017 in review MADISON – 2017 was a year of transition at the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). In August, Secretary Ben Brancel retired from state public service and returned to his family’s farm full-time. In November, Governor Walker appointed State Senator Sheila Harsdorf as the next Secretary. Even as leadership changed, the agency maintained its focus on Wisconsin’s farmers, consumers and businesses. “When reflecting on 2017, the headline would undoubtedly be the challenge some dairy farmers faced in April when they suddenly lost their milk market,” said Secretary Harsdorf. “Even when the situation was dire, it was uplifting to see how the industry came together like never before to support each other and find a home for 99 percent of the milk that was displaced.” DATCP’s Farm Center staff worked to connect farmers with processors who had capacity to take on the additional milk. State and federal government officials collaborated to emphasize the need for free, fair and transparent trade policies. Consumers were encouraged to purchase and donate Wisconsin dairy products to
support Wisconsin’s dairy farm families. In May, then-Secretary Brancel shared lessons learned, highlighting the importance of communication between farmers, processors, milk handlers, ag lenders, ag organizations, universities and government officials going forward. Wisconsin agriculture continued to find great success marketing its products locally and beyond our nation’s borders. The state exported $2.6 billion in agricultural products to 144 countries during the first three quarters of 2017. This is an increase of 6.7 percent in value compared to the same period last year. In the New Year, DATCP will work to create new markets locally and internationally for Wisconsin’s diverse agricultural products. Water quality continued to be a priority in 2017. DATCP entered into a three-year cooperative agreement with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Peninsula Pride Farms to establish a Door-Kewaunee Demonstration Farm Network. The goal of the network is to demonstrate and share how well specific practices work to achieve conservation goals.

13 moons programs at the Fort 2018 is a special year when it comes to Full Moons. Once every 19 years, there is no full moon in February. This is one of those years. Also, there are two months this year that have Blue Moons, or a second full moon in a given month. That happens only seven years of the 19 year cycle. The first full moon of 2018 is on Jan. 1. The first Blue moon is Jan. 31. These two January moons are also considered Super Moons, or moons that appear larger because the moon is actually at the closest point to the earth (lunar perigee) on its monthly elliptical orbit. According to earthsky.org, when the moon rises over the eastern horizon on Jan. 1 (at about 4:30 p.m. in Burnett County), it will be about a half-hour past lunar perigree. When the moon is at this point, it appears about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than when it is at its furthest point away from the earth, called lunar apogee. Super Moons occur one to three months each year. The first full moon of 2018 on Jan. 1 goes by many names. It is the first moon after the Winter Solstice, and Celts called it Moon After Yule. Many Native American tribes call it the Wolf
SUBMITTED
Burnett County Full Moon. Learn the history and folklore of the Full Moons in a series of 13 programs at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park throughout the year.
Moon. It has also been called Winter Moon, Cold Moon, and Long Night Moon. The Ojibwe call it Mnido Giizis, the Great Spirit Moon, which is the first moon of creation, manifested through the northern lights. It is a time to honor the silence and realize our place within all of Great Mystery’s creatures.
To celebrate the full moon, Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park will be hosting a series of 13 educational programs in 2018 called 13 Moons. During this family-friendly program, participants will learn more about the various theories of the moon’s origins, the history of moon astronomy, and how the moon
moves through the sky. They will also hear how our ancestors of various cultures used the moon to track the changing of the seasons, watch the moon rise over the horizon, and make a fun craft or do another activity associated with the moon. The first program on Jan. 1 will run from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.at the visitor center at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. The cost is $5 per person, or $10 per family (parents or grandparents and children), and is free to members of the Burnett County Historical Society. Membership information is available on their website, www.theforts.org, and is also available at the visitor center. Future programs will take place on Jan. 31, March 1 and March 31 and throughout the remainder of 2018 on the day of the full moon. Program times will vary throughout the year depending on when the full moon is scheduled to rise. The entire schedule for 2018 is available on the website and also on Facebook. There is no need to register for the program, just show up at the park at 3:30 p.m. Most of the program will occur indoors, but bring warm clothing to go outside to view the moonrise.

Making Spirits Bright BY PASTOR ANDREA WITTWER
First of all, I want to say “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,� and that should make you smile and feel good. If it doesn’t, I have a few hints to help your holidays to be merry and bright. It’s true that some people have imperfect holiday gatherings – perhaps caused by family tension, grief or the turkey is dry. The key is to take control of your holiday, instead of letting it control you. If you are struggling with negative feelings don’t deny them. Keep in mind there’s nothing wrong or unusual about feeling down or blue during the holidays. Other folks are battling stress, too.
But, changing your expectations and behaviors will make a difference. Feeling gloomy around Christmastime? Decide to step back. Change those things that make you unhappy.
My Holiday Do’s/Don’ts Do choose to do things you really want to do. Don’t force yourself into things that make you uncomfortable. Happiness is contagious. Be happy! Do pace yourself. Don’t overdo it. To reduce holiday stress, decide on some limits and stick to them. Get fresh air, sunshine and breath deeply! WebMD says stress can attack your immune system! Stay calm! Do lean back and enjoy. Don’t be anxious about how

things ‘ought’ to be. There are few perfect families or perfect holiday events. Choose to do things for family fun. Be joyful! Do forgive yourself if things aren’t perfect; and then smile and sing a merry song! I’m serious! The Christmas season is about forgiveness and good will. Share love! Above all, remember the reason for the season. Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.� -From the Sentinel Dec. 21, 2016
