New law could open up more roads to ATV traffic JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– Near the end of last year Gov. Scott Walker signed 36 new laws at the Wisconsin State Capitol. Among those bills were announcing Ginseng as the state herb, standardizing foreclosed property procedure and a bill that permits municipalities to allow ATVs on their roads without county oversight. According to the Governor’s website, Senate Bill 392, “authorizes a municipality to enact an ordinance to authorize the operation of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) on certain highways within the territorial boundaries of the municipality.” The bill was introduced by four State Senators, including former Senator Sheila Harsdorf last August. It was endorsed by 13 state representatives, including Adam Jarchow. It states, “a city, village, or town may enact an ordinance to authorize the operation of all-terrain vehicles and utility terrain vehicles on a highway that is not part of the national system of interstate and defense highways, that has a speed limit of 35

St. Croix Tribe sues State over hemp business JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER––Last week the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. “The St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, a federally recognized American Indian tribe in northwest Wisconsin, sued the State of Wisconsin’s top law enforcement official, Attorney General Brad Schimel, based on threats of criminal prosecution and State interference in the Tribe’s hemp and cannabidiol (“CBD”) control program,” said the St. Croix Tribe in a press release. Last November the Tribe adopted a comprehensive control program for hemp and CBD. CBD is a hemp extract that is widely recognized for its medicinal value especially in the treatment of childhood epilepsy. “The Tribe is extraordinarily disappointed with the actions of State Attorney General Schimel,” said Elmer J. Emery of the St. Croix Tribal Council. “Governor Walker and State legislators have shown SEE HEMP, PAGE 2

jurisdiction over the highway.” At the Infrastructure committee meeting last week, Burnett County Highway Commissions, Michaels Hoefs brought up the bill following a discussion on the Wisconsin County Highway Association (WCHA). Hoefs explained that the WCHA plays a role in the Wisconsin legislature helping shape certain laws and were blindsided by this. “The WCHA knew nothing about it,” Hoefs said. “They did not see it coming.” Hoefs took his time explaining the signed bill to the committee. His department is in charge of road surveys to decide which roads can and cannot handle ATV traffic. “It says any municipality – city, village or town – has the right to say any road in their jurisdiction can be deemed an ATV route,” Hoefs said. “As I understand this doesn’t include interstate highways.” Committee members began peppering Hoefs with questions about safety and why does the committee set up road surveys if this is possible. The committee was focused on the last part of the bill that says, SEE ATVS, PAGE 2

Local arts group finds new home with Northwest Passage HARRIET RICE

Last year, the Burnett Area Arts Group (BAAG) became “homeless” when the rent was raised on the property where members held meetings, showcased their art, held classes and staged “Arts Alive on 35” shows. After months of shuffling activities between residences and local sites, the group is excited to have found a new permanent home thanks to its growing partnership with Northwest Passage (NWP) and In a New Light Gallery in Webster.. Both BAAG and NWP have been integral parts of the community for many years: NWP since 1978, and BAAG since 2004, when a small group of local artists came together under the

leadership of two former art teachers/professional artists to give the arts a place of prominence in the region and specifically in Burnett County. One of the original co-founders is Thom Scott, a regionally-known fine artist,who spent

29 years teaching art at the K-12 levels in public schools and six years as an elementary school principal. Many will remember him from the Siren Schools. The other co-founder was Jenny Goalen, also an art teacher and owner of Northwind Arts until 2013, when she and her husband, Tim, moved to Hawaii. They formed BAAG with a mission to support the social and economic needs of local artists, encourage appreciation for the visual arts, foster a working relationship with local and regional agencies, and stimulate creativity and sensitivity to the arts in area youth.

State Supreme HEMP: Tribe cites two federal bills in hemp lawsuit Court candidates set for spring election CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Sauk County Circuit Judge Michael Screnock and Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Rebecca Dallet will advance to the spring election for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The winner of the April 3 general election will sit on the bench for a ten-year term replacing Justice Michael Gableman who is not running for re-election. “Tonight’s results serve as proof that voters across Wisconsin value the importance of a fair and impartial judiciary focused on upholding the rule of law and respecting our Constitution and the separation of powers, regardless of their political affiliation,” Scernock said. Dallet said in a speech Tuesday night that her campaign will continue to work towards a more fair and independent judicial system. “What this campaign is about, is about making our courts work for our people again,” Dallet said. “The courts have been taken over, like so much in our life, by dark money and special interests.” Madison Attorney Tim Burns finished third in the primary and will not move forward to the general election. “My campaign and I have worked incredibly hard and fought passionately for what we believed in, but unfortunately, we came up short,” Burns said. “I hope my supporters will never stop fighting for working people until we restore power back to Wisconsin families from the hands of a privileged few.” According to the unofficial results, 1,053 voters went to the polls in Burnett County on Tuesday following the tremendous snowfall the night before. Screnock won the county overwhelmingly receiving 613 votes, roughly 58 percent. Dallet collected 258 votes and Burns got 182. Scernock won almost every municipality in the county except two and tied with Dallet in Jackson. Dallet won the Town of La Follette and Burns won the Town of Sand Lake. Statewide the results weren’t as overwhelming. Tuesday night results showed Shernock with about 47 percent of the vote with Dallet at 36 percent and Burns with 18 percent. The April 3 general election will also have various Village and School board seats on the ballet.

ATVS: Risks of ATV traffic CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“regardless of whether the city, village, or town has jurisdiction over the highway.” “It’s on stretches of road 35 mph or less,” Hoefs said. “But there are stretches of certain highways in the county that could potentially be opened up if a municipality has an ordinance for ATV travel.” One of the committee members jokingly said that any road in question should have its speed limit raised to 36 throughout the county. Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said his department is monitoring the bill and its possible affect on the county. “We have been monitoring this bill. We are not too concerned about it at this time,” Wilhelm said. “The townships have been adopting ordinances allowing ATVs to operate on the town road that have either a 45 mph or 55 mph speed limit. “I believe that most of the townships in the county have adopted an ordinance that allows ATVs on carefully selected roads,” Wilhelm said. “I’m bringing this up here just so you’re aware and I wanted to fill you in on the subject,” Hoefs told the committee. “There’s a lot of risk associated with this.”

“Governor Walker and State legislators have shown incredible leadership on hemp and medical CBD issues which are now legal and regulated in Wisconsin. The Attorney General’s threats against our Tribe for taking the exact same action in legalizing hemp and CBD are simply out of step with the State’s own legalization efforts.” In their press release the Tribe points out that Wisconsin is one of 32 states that have legalized hemp and one of 16 where CBD is legal at the state level. They also adopted a program that mirrors the state program. “Unfortunately, the Tribe is forced to take legal measures in order to head off any prejudicial law enforcement action threatened by the State Attorney General that would serve to undermine our tribal sovereignty and lawful hemp and CBD business operations,” said Jeff Cormell, General Counsel for the Tribe. “The Tribe has been fully transparent with its hemp program and expected impartiality, and a fair-handed approach from the State Attorney General. The Tribe requested government-to-government consultation on two separate occasions, and even approached the Attorney General with a proposed Memorandum of Understanding—all of which the Wisconsin

Attorney General rejected in favor of injudicious threats of State law enforcement action against our tribal hemp program. Attorney General Schimel left the Tribe no option but to take him to Court.” According to a fact sheet provided by the Tribe, hemp by law contains less than .3 percent THC. THC is the psychoactive part of the cannabis plant. CBD is one of many non-psychoactive compounds in cannabis. It has been recognized for medical and therapeutic purposes. The Tribe’s Hemp Ordinance legalizes hemp cultivation processing. It also creates a comprehensive control program on the reservation and will create a regulatory body. The Tribe is also creating a tribally owned and operated business for the producing hemp products like hemp oils, including CBD for commercial sales. On the Federal level, the 2014 Farm Bill created the foundation for hemp regulations, most notably by distinguishing industrial hemp and marijuana based on a THC percentage of .3 percent. In 2017 Congress passed hemp protections in Consolidated Appropriations Act, which prohibits federal law enforcement agencies like the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration from interfering

with the Farm Bill, including production, transportation, sale and use of compliant hemp products. At the state level, “Wisconsin’s hemp and CBD laws do not address tribal participation in State hemp and CBD programs,” the press release said. “Wisconsin is a Public Law 280 state, meaning the State of Wisconsin has criminal enforcement over most tribes located within the state, but no civil-regulatory authority on tribal lands.” The Tribe reiterated the tribal-owned hemp business will not cultivate marijuana, but will grow genetic hemp clones. This cultivation method ensures compliance with state and federal laws, including that all hemp oil produced has zero psychoactive effect. “The Tribe’s hemp program has the support of the local county government, and will be a significant job and revenue creator in one of the poorest regions of the State,” said Councilman Emery. “The Tribe is more than capable of regulating hemp on tribal lands. The Tribe created a regulatory body to oversee implementation of the hemp program. We also have a tribal law enforcement system comprised of eight fulltime officers with two K-9 units, and a tribal court system that hears a variety of cases invoking tribal and some federal law.”

BAAG: Always looking for new members CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

community art festivals funded with grants awarded by the Wisconsin Arts Board. Those events drew more than 1,500 visitors. “The economic impact the arts play in our day-to-day lives is often overlooked,” notes Scott. “There are many artists who live in and around Burnett County, and they contribute a great deal to the quality of life here,” he continues. Some of those artists are represented on the walls of the Burnett County Medical Center, and several years ago BAAG artists painted a mural to beautify the patio between Webster’s Fresh Start Coffee Roasters cafe and the Gandy Dancer bookstore. Scott is passionate about the vital role of the arts in education..

“It is important that we include the arts in the curriculums of our local school districts,” he says. According to Americans for the Arts, a Washington, D.C.-based arts lobbying agency, “Creativity is among the top 5 applied skills sought by business leaders, with 72 percent saying creativity is of high importance when hiring.” Besides having a new permanent home with Northwest Passage, there’s another reason to celebrate. If all goes as planned, NWP will expand the existing In a New Light gallery to include a larger exhibit area, studios, an arts classroom as well as event and meeting space. Completion is anticipated in fall of this year. “It will be a destination art center; a dream come true, and an incredible boost to the creative economy

in Northwest Wisconsin,” says Scott. The BAAG meets monthly on the first Monday at 5 p.m.in the conference room at NWP and welcomes new members. “It isn’t necessary to be an artist to join BAAG. Anyone who has a serious interest in learing about and supporting the arts in Burnett County is welcome,” says Scott. Members also hold art appreciation forums at which they discuss art history, philosphy, styles, and important schools of art. Membership dues, patron donations, and grants fund BAAG,, which is a 501(3)(c) non-profit entity. For additional information, call 715-349-2807 or email burnettareaarts@gmail.com.

Olympics

The 23rd Olympiad began last weekend in Pyeongchang, South Korea. During the opening ceremonies, which I did not watch, the broadcasters said something like Koreans look up to Japan for their economic and cultural transformation. Anyone that knows the history of the Korean peninsula knows this is not the case. It’s actually an insult to many South Koreans, since Japan was an occupying force in Korea from 1910 to 1945. In 1945, they drew a horizontal line at the 38th parallel. Just learn your world history kids, it may come back to be very helpful later on in life. Now back to the games. Curling is kind of like rugby or cricket, I have seen it on TV (mostly just skimming through the channels) but have no idea how the sport actually works. Also I did curling once in college, but don’t remember Sentinel much of it because, well … it was college. Editor U.S. Curling Mixed Doubles Jonathan Richie team, Matt and Becca Hamilton are siblings from McFarland and got an internet shoutout from (my beloved) Aaron Rodgers. If you haven’t been following, Matt has a mustache reminiscent of the classic 90s video game character, Mario. He’s the handy dandy plumber that defeats Bowser and saves Princess Peach, but now just races around in extravagant go-karts trying to avoid blue shells and banana peels. After receiving some internet love from Aaron Rodgers, Yahoo Sports put Matt and Rodgers sideby-side with their respective mustaches. That image was paired with an image of Mario and Luigi. It was awesome. I had a snowboard growing up that was purchased from a family friend. Now I never took it to the local sledding hill, Killer Hill as it was affectionately known. I would take it to our backyard where we had a sad drainage hill no more than six feet. So if you extrapolate that data, I could have been the male Chloe Kim after enough practice. Also I would need a mountain range nearby, but those are tiny details when looking at the big picture. The best thing about being an Olympic athlete would probably be representing your country on an international stage. Of course, that means the worst thing would be embarrassing your country on an international stage. The Olympics are crazy. Have you ever waited four years for something? Olympic organizers had to cancel certain ski events, like the qualifying rounds, due to high winds and safety concerns. They did not cancel entire events. But how insane would that be. Let’s say you’re a Swiss skier and you’re the best. You’ve been training for three and a half years for this one moment. You get the plane ticket to Pyeongchang and arrive at the Olympic village, then boom, cancelled, all that hard work for nothing. Lastly, don’t forget that the 12th Paralympic Winter Games begin on March 9. That’s the one with the coolest winter sport, sled hockey. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

The cure for school shootings The news last week of the seventh shooting at a school in the country this year has left many, including me, a bit shell shocked. Last Wednesday, five years and two months to the day of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary when 20 children and six adults were killed, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. After the gunfire and confusion had ended, 17 people were dead, 14 were wounded. Cruz was apprehended about an hour after the shooting. According to news accounts, Cruz had been expelled from the school and From the Publisher’s his mother had recently died. Cruz was living with the family of a friend Desk who attended the same school and attending classes at an alternative Tom Stangl school. IIt was reported that Cruz activated a fire alarm and waited for students to leave their classrooms before firing an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle. Cruz fled the scene among the students leaving the school after the shooting. In the time since the shooting occurred, a portrait of Cruz as a disturbed loner has been painted. Held back twice, expelled from numerous schools, Cruz had ambitions of joining the military. He has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated homicide. As the affected persons try to mourn with cameras recording every moment, the 24 hour news cycle dissects every nuance of the events leading up to the shooting, offering opinion all along the way. Should someone have seen the signs and done something? Should more be done about mental health? Should something be done about sales of semi-automatic guns?

The answers to all of these questions depends on your point of view. I would argue that the answer to all of the questions is “yes,” but I feel a more basic question, one that takes precedence over all these issues needs to be asked. Do we have the courage as a society to love one another, no matter what? Stay with me here, don’t tune out because this is important. I believe the power of unconditional love is dismissed out of hand by many in our society today because we have become too cynical and jaded. We rarely take the time to interact face to face, let alone make the time to get to know and understand one another. It’s easier to look the other way and tell yourself that you are too sophisticated to bother with love and understanding. Taking the time to understand each other is hard work. Working through issues with trust and always coming back to love, without strings attached is a skill that needs to be learned. I believe mothers are the masters of unconditional love, but even they have had a hard time of it over the past 50 years. The collapse of the traditional family has added an extra burden to parents who have to go it alone. We have several generations of people who haven’t been given the essential gift of unconditional love. This must end here and now. Every person deserves to know that they are loved. I believe that if we do this hard work as a society, in time we may be able to look back at this period in our history as a turning point. Do we have the courage to be kind? I pray we do. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

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.

Advocates blast family, medical leave proposals

You missed a great day at the center. And did we have food! The Roberts Brothers were thoroughly entertaining and caught some of us stepping (dancing) or singing along to the tunes. Verner and Vi Dahlberg were the Longest Sweethearts, having celebrated the most Valentine’s with 68 yrs, followed by Gene and Marilyn Gronlund with 66 yrs. The person who celebrated the most Valentine’s Days in her life was Anne Kallman with 97 yrs; the youngest was Avril Geiger with 5 yrs. Some of us even took time to recognize and acknowledge the Chinese New Year! This is the

WISPOLITICS.COM

Workers, advocates and Democratic state lawmakers met on the 25th anniversary of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act to speak against GOP legislation they say would curtail protections for workers. The first bill specifically would prohibit municipal and county governments from enforcing their own laws related to employment discrimination, hours and overtime, and benefits. It also would bar cities and counties from setting a minimum wage for their employees and those who perform work under a contract for them, and from creating more stringent licensing requirements than the state already has in place. The second would curtail some of the protections of the Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Act. Sen. Chris Kapenga, R-Delafield, the author of the preemption bill, sees it as a way to prevent the state from becoming a patchwork of labor laws. “Wisconsin is made up of 1,924 different municipalities,” Kapenga said during the bill’s public hearing. “Imagine the complex web of regulation that businesses and employees would be forced to comply with if every one of those municipalities passed separate ordinances governing employment laws.” But at the news conference Feb. 5, Rep. Sondy Pope, D-Mt. Horeb, and Sen. Janis Ringhand, D-Evansville, decried the two Republican bills as those that would harm Wisconsin workers, and championed a bill they introduced that would guarantee some workers access to paid leave. One of the workers present, 29-year-old Chineva Smith of Milwaukee, said both she and her sons have health challenges, and that she has had to job-hop because of how much time she takes off for medical reasons. She called on legislators to not only keep in place, but expand the state’s medical leave act, not repeal portions. “Parents should never be put in the position to have to choose a job over their children’s health and well-being,” Smith said. “[And] in the midst of dealing with mixed emotions of health challenges, no one should have to deal with the stress of worrying about their career, income and livelihood.” Activist groups argued the bill prohibiting local labor ordinances would undermine economic security for workers. And Kristen Taylor, with the activist group Worker Justice Wisconsin, argued that the proposed bill would create more work for the state’s Equal Rights Division if the city divisions that address employment discrimination claims had to transfer their cases to the state. “If it’s already taking at the state level over a year to investigate a discrimination complaint, then I don’t see how it’s going to help, eliminating local options and adding to what [the Equal Rights Division] is already struggling to keep up with on the state level,” Taylor said. The Kapenga bill has passed a GOP-run Senate panel. Several groups, such as AFSCME Council 32, the Wisconsin Counties Association, and the cities of Madison and Milwaukee, argue the bill would undermine local control, reduce the quality of the workforce and lead to inequity. Groups like the Wisconsin Counties Association say their members, all 72 Wisconsin counties, need the ability to regulate industries specific to their areas, such as seasonal tourism. “This provision applies a one-size-fits-all approach to local regulation,” wrote Wisconsin Counties Association government affairs associate Marcie Rainbolt.

Highway Commission hopes brine ‘Mommy, my legs won’t work’ system will lead to less salt Julie didn’t realize, yet, that this was the worst thing she could have done.

MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER––The Infrastructure Committee met last week to hear monthly reports from the Airport, Maintenance and Highway Department. Michael Hoefs, Highway commissioner gave his report to the committee. He brought up the counties new brine system, which is designed to be sprayed on roads to pre-treat them before a big winter storm. “The state covered all the costs for the new brine system,” Hoefs said. “We’ve got two-eight gallon tanks and have been making our own brine. It’s a pre-treatment system and the goal is to cut down on salt usage.” Earlier in the meeting Hoefs brought up the big winter storm in early December. “That storm cost us 11 percent of our budget, $33,000 of salt in two days,” Hoefs said. “That doesn’t cover labor or equipment costs. You figure two or three significant events could end up being $100,000 of damage.” Hoefs also said there is an opportunity to sell the brine to other counties. “It’s a possibility, other counties do it,” Hoefs added. Airport Department The committee approved a timber sale for 28 acres of forest on the east side of Highway 35 just south of Midtown Road. Nate Ehalt, County Administrator said this will clear more than just the runway protection zone, which was initially what they had planned on

clearing. But clearing all 28 acres will be more cost effective with the long term affects in mind. “If this gets approved we will start calling contractors and getting quotes for the timber,” Ehalt said. Ehalt explained that two and a half private land parcels could potentially delay the project, but he expects the project to run smoothly with little stress for the county. “This will end the issue (of trees too close to the airport runways) for a long, long time,” Ehalt said. The motion carried with no opposing votes and now goes to the full county board for approval. Maintenance Department Gary Faught, Maintenance Supervisor said that Johnson Controls merging with Tyco has lead to costs being slashed for the Government Center fire alarm system. Faught said the county has hired a new pest control team that costs more but does more work. First floor remodel County Administrator Nate Ehalt said the first floor remodel furniture will be arriving in the next few weeks. “Hopefully in the second week of March we can have everyone moved in,” Ehalt said. He also brought up an issue that could occur with the tree phone system after all departments have moved into their new offices. “We plan on working through those issues as they arise,” Ehalt said.

“Mommy, my legs won’t work.” Julie Teich woke up to those words in the early morning of Thursday, Jan. 11. A Pine City native, Julie, her husband Greg, and her children – twins Megan and Spencer, both 12, and Marisa, 9 – now live in Cambridge, in a two-story home with a basement and the master bedroom on the top floor. On the morning of Jan. 11, Marisa had climbed the stairs to the second floor and was calling out to her mother inside the master bedroom. “I can’t hear and I don’t feel good,” she told Julie. Julie sat up in bed, and it hit her. “Instant headache,” Julie said. “Worst headache I’ve ever had in my life.” She was trying to wake up, trying to process what was happening. She was alone – Greg was still in the Twin Cities working the tail end of an overnight shift. Julie got out of bed and told her daughter they had to go downstairs. Marisa said she couldn’t. Julie told her she had to try. “And then we get close to the stairs and she passes out on me,” Julie said. “Scared the bejeebers out of me.” Julie works in the medical field and has trained as an emergency medical technician, so she was trying to run through all the things that could be wrong with her unconscious child. But she was fighting a headache, and her own thinking was cloudy. She finally got her daughter awake, brought her downstairs and put her back in her room, back in bed.

CARBON MONOXIDE Carbon monoxide is gas that has no odor or color, and is produced any time a fossil fuel is burned in a furnace, vehicle, generator or elsewhere. Carbon monoxide can build up in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, poison the people and animals in them, and cause sudden illness and death. Julie knew that the furnace and water heater in their home were supposed to be vented out through their chimney. What she did not know was that there was a blockage in the chimney, and that blockage had backed up the pressure in the pipe, and the pressure blew the vent pipe off. This meant that the carbon monoxide from the water furnace and heater were now venting directly into their basement. From there, it was creeping upstairs. Julie thought they were prepared for such an emergency, but what she believed was a carbon monoxide detector in her home was actually a smoke detector, and the batteries in it had gone dead. “I thought we were OK,” Julie said. They weren’t. CRAWLING OUT Julie heard her twelve-year-old son in the bathroom with the shower running and went in to check on him. “I thought, this is really odd, because my son barely gets up for SEE CARBON MONOXIDE, PAGE 7

now safe for the kids.” To ensure their safety, they now have five carbon monoxide monitors and fire alarms in the house. “It is recommended to have one carbon monoxide monitor for each bedroom in your home, and have it outside each bedroom door,” she said. “We are going to have them all over the place.” She said she hopes that her family’s terrible experience can serve as a lesson to others, and urged everyone to make sure they have enough fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to protect their own families. “If you think you don’t need it, you do,” Julie said. “If you think it won’t happen to you, it will. Bite the bullet, spend the extra money. It’s not worth the cost of a funeral.” She said she is grateful for the stories that her late father Kurtiss Rike would tell her of his experiences as a Pine City fireman, and for her own training as an EMT that helped her understand the danger they were in – and avoid a nightmare. “I’m very grateful that I had that training, or my husband probably would have came home and found us all dead,” Julie said. “I probably would have thought, you know, my kids are sick and I’ll just put them back to bed and check on them in a little bit, and then sat down and probably watched TV and that would have been the end of us. I hate to think what this would have done to my husband. It probably would have driven him crazy. “I’m just glad to be alive right now and happy, and to have my kids who are back healthy and safe. We’re in a house where I don’t have to worry about this again. I’m feeling pretty blessed right now.”

HYPERBARIC CHAMBER Down at HCMC, tests showed that they would need treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning in the hyperbaric chamber. A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed room where air pressure is increased. The pressure is identical to the water pressure experienced by deep-sea divers. When a patient breathes pure oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber it causes that oxygen to enter the bloodstream much more quickly. “It forces the bad stuff out of your blood, and then with the oxygen you’re putting the good stuff back in,” Julie explained. “The pressure is just pushing the bad stuff out, and that’s what’s needed for carbon monoxide poisoning.” Julie said the chamber was like being inside the back of an ambulance, except for the pressure building up in one’s ears . “They would have us swallow and drink some water or plug your nose and blow,” she said. “I think for the kids that was the hardest part. But ... they had a TV and they let the kids pick out a movie so they had something to concentrate on while we were in there for 90 minutes.” Once they were done with that treatment, medical staff checked their troponin levels. Troponins are proteins that are released with the heart muscle has been damaged. Megan showed higher troponin levels, which meant that she had to do two more 90 minute sessions in the hyperbaric chamber by herself, with Julie sitting outside the chamber, looking through the window at her child. Daughter and mother spent the night at the hospital together. Julie said Megan did her treatments bravely. “I was

RECOVERY, GRATITUDE AND LESSONS LEARNED Julie’s mom and brother came out to rescue the family’s animals – six guinea pigs, a golden retriever and a bunny. All of their animals survived and are doing fine. The children spent the next week at their grandmother’s house in Pine City, because Julie and Greg didn’t feel comfortable having them home with no heat or hot water. Julie worked with TM Johnson Brothers to get a new water heater and furnace financed and installed. These appliances are now vented out of the house in a completely different way. “That’s fine with me, “ Julie said, laughing. “at least the house is

school as it is, let alone take a shower. So ... I said, ‘Spencer, what’s wrong? And he says, ‘Mom, I don’t feel good.’ And he passed out in the shower on me.” Even though she wasn’t feeling well herself, things were adding up for Julie. “His legs went out, hers went out,” Julie said. “I’m starting to put pieces together here. This is sounding a lot like carbon monoxide poisoning.” Julie helped her son out of the shower, called 911 and started opening doors and windows. The temperature outside was about 20 degrees, but she had to let fresh air in the house. “I had sense enough to start my car while I was talking to 911 so the car was warming up, so we had a place-semi-warm to go until help came. The 911 operator told her to get the kids out. “I said, ‘I’m working on it.’” She went to get her daughter Megan out of bed. “I hollered her name and said, ‘Megan, get up,’ and she took two steps out of bed and she went down.” Julie woke Megan up, and urged her and the other two children to keep moving towards fresh air. “I kept saying, ‘You guys got to get to the door, you’ve got to get to the door. We’ve got to go outside.’ And I wound up calling, telling the kids, ‘Just crawl to the front door.’ So I had all my kids crawling to the front door.” But her next act showed how badly the carbon monoxide was affecting her thought processes. “I wasn’t thinking straight myself with all this stuff going on, so I went upstairs and got dressed,” she said. “Not thinking clearly.” When she got downstairs minutes later, her children had stopped crawling, and were lying on the floor. Now Julie was feeling the panic set in. “They say they can’t move anymore. I can’t lift these guys up. So I called [911] back and said, ‘I need help. I can’t get them out of the house. They’re too heavy for me to lift.’” Fortunately, a Cambridge police officer was at her house moments later. He helped them all get out to their van, the kids in pajamas and boots. And within minutes firefighters and paramedics had arrived at the scene. “We got put in the ambulance and they started testing our carbon monoxide levels,” Julie said. “And we were pretty high.” A carbon monoxide blood test measures the amount of hemoglobin in the blood that has bonded with carbon monoxide. Normally, that percentage is less than two percent. At 20-30 percent, victims will suffer from headache, nausea, vomiting and have trouble making decisions. As the rate gets higher, it leads to dizziness, muscle weakness and increased heartbeat and breathing rates. At around 50 percent, the victim loses consciousness, and a rate of over 60

percent results in seizures, coma and death. And children may have more severe symptoms at lower levels because they have fewer red blood cells. Spencer’s carbon monoxide level was at 40 percent. Julie and Megan were at 35 percent and Marisa was at 30 percent. “I remember sitting in my van calling my husband saying, ‘You need to come home now.’ And the paramedic said, ‘Don’t tell him to come home ... go right to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), meet us down there. “It was pretty scary. It kind of felt like an episode of the Twilight Zone. I kept thinking I was going to wake up and this was all a bad dream.”

Softec wants to grow hometown workforce organically JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER–– Softec Education gave a presentation about improving the local workforce at the Webster School Board at their monthly meeting this week. Softec recently partnered with the Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College and will be bringing a WITC hub to Burnett County. Softec has bought the former Swenson Land Surveying building at 25070 Hwy. 35 across the street from the airport. The hub is expected to have five to six week courses in machining, welding, construction and other certified courses. They expect to start classes in the middle of May. “We’re bringing a branch of the college here,� said Softec Executive Director, Tim D’Jock. “We will have custom classes and they’ll work with Tiger Manufacturing.� D’Jock said the goal of Softec is to build and grow a workforce organically and from the ground up, starting with the students. He explained the plan is to engage students at a young age by engaging them with technology. Softec is starting with robotics for the kids and D’Jock said they want to start the Lego League again at the school for seventh graders. D’Jock also said that this new WITC hub will allow students to stay in the county and not have to travel to cities outside the county in Rice Lake or Pine City. “We’re also keeping prices down so kids don’t have a huge amount of debt after they finish school,� D’Jock said. “We will have sponsorships and scholarships set up to help kids pay. Also, any veteran and their family can go to WITC for free.� Softec made a similar presentation last year to the Board of Supervisors and explained that there curriculum will cost a student $2,500-$5,000. D’Jock said that is much better than the bill of $40,000-$50,000 of a university. Dorian Vocal Festival Lexi Symond and Willem Otto were at the meeting talking about their trip to the Dorian Vocal Festival last month

at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. The trip was for the juniors and seniors in the group choir, Trent Gustafson also went, but was unable to attend “We were in this massive room with an organ that was taller than the high school,� Symond said. “It was a really cool experience.� Symond noted the experience was invaluable as she got to work with college instructors and other vocal professionals. “I would like to thank the board for allowing us to go. It was an incredible opportunity,� Symond said. While the students explained their experience they played a video from the festival in the background of was about 1,100 students singing “Amazing Grace� Members of the board said it looked like an wonderful experience. Then the students were asked about nerves during the performance. “I was like ‘oh my god,’ I hope I’m singing the right notes,� Symond said. Otto said he enjoyed his time and agreed with everything that Symond told the board. “It was great and I hope the school board will continue to send people,� Symond said. Padcaster The High School has a new piece of equipment for broadcasting the morning announcements. It’s called a Padcaster, a tripod on wheels with all the technical furnishings on top. The production equipment includes microphone, an iPad, a lighting fixture and even a mini-teleprompter. Webster High School Principal, Josh Hetfeld explained the simple process to the board. “Students will enter the classroom and see the tiger logo on the screen and then they will know the announcements are coming,� Hetfeld said. “Then the intro begins and the students read the announcements.� The board was shown that day’s announcements that’s introduction had sharp graphics like other morning news programs. Hetfeld admitted the on-screen production value needs work

Tracker has been a busy boy BURNETT COUNTY––On February 8, 2018 our officers made a traffic stop in the Village of Webster. During the traffic stop the driver and passenger were checked for warrants. One of the suspects had an active warrant from Burnett County for failure to appear. Deputy Olson arrived with Tracker and an exterior search was conducted. Tracker hit on controlled substance during this exterior search. The interor of the vehicle was searched and marijuana, meth, drug paraphernalia, and lock picking tools were located. Good job to all the deputies involved and Tracker.

Break the cycle of teen dating violence

Boy scouts honor faith at area churches

SUBMITTED BY: JOAN SPENCER, DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AT COMMUNITY REFERRAL AGENCY

February kicks off Teen Dating Abuse awareness month. All month long, organizations will be bringing forth information to educate the community so that we might be able to break this cycle and create a safe and healthy environment for dating teens. Dating abuse is a public health issue that affects people from all ages, backgrounds and identities. However, among people that experience sexual violence, physical violence and/or stalking, most experience some form of intimate partner violence for the first time before the age of 25. The ultimate goal is to stop dating violence before it starts. Promote healthy relationships in young people by becoming informed and involved. During the pre-teen and teen years, young people are learning the skills they need to form positive relationships with others. This is an ideal time to promote healthy relationships and prevent patterns of dating violence that can last into adulthood. To find out more about the types of abuse or the common warning signs to watch for with your teen, check out one of these online sites: breakthecycle.org or loveisrespect.org. If you or someone you know sees these warning signs in their relationship or their teen’s relationship, text loveis to 22522.

WEEKLY WAG

Perfect weather attracts ice fishers to Devils Lake HARRIET RICE

Sunny skies and balmy temperatures brought out an estimated 200 ice fishing enthusiasts for Saturday’s Devils Lake Ice Fishing Contest co-sponsored by Bump’s Lakeside and the Burnett Area Tourism Coalition. Raffle tickets sold like hotcakes. While there were drawings throughout the day, the suspense built for the three top prizes. After the tickets were drawn, these win-

ners emerged: •Three-person fishing shack ($500 value): Patti Tuset. •40” flat screen television ($200 value): Pat Pettit. •Mr. Heater portable heater ($50 value): Jim Petrangelo. Prizes were also awarded to anglers who caught the largest fish in four categories. The prize package was a bucket filled with $75 worth of ice fishing gear. Prize-winning anglers were— Northern: Dan Nyren, 2 lbs. 8 oz.; Walleye: Pe-

They may come from different sides of the tracks, but this week’s spotlight highlights two girls with one goal: forever homes. Katniss is a nine-month-old spayed female Cattle Dog mix, who spent a bit o of time evading authoritties this past winter, but iis now ready to make a n new start. Katniss is a m medium-sized, 30 pound, ffriendly girl who would p probably do best with o older kids, but no cats, p please. She hasn’t had m much exposure to other d dogs yet, so the staff isn’t ssure if Katniss is looking Katniss for a canine partner in crime. She is working on house-training right now, but is looking forward to mastering this and any other new skills someone wants to teach her. Katniss would flourish with a job to do, even if it’s chasing after a ball. She is still a bit of a flight risk, so her people need to keep a close eye on Katniss until she figures out life on the inside is better than life on the outside! They say dogs have owners and cats have staff. Well, Sophie is an eightyear-old brown tabby looking for a household to oversee. Sophie is ten pounds, front-paw declawed, and bears herself in a confident, regal manner. She enjoys snuggling and a lap to pass the time on. Sophie also enjoys watching the world pass her window, Sophie and would appreciate a perch from which to survey her domain. She has lived with older dogs and cats but has little tolerance for the shenanigans of youngsters. Sophie prefers to share her surrounding with cats, dogs, and people with her mellow, mature outlook on life. We have some true Wisconsin cheeseheads here at the shelter, and they love their Kongs stuffed with squeeze cheese. Squeeze cheese is also a fantastic training tool for the fearful/shy dogs. The cupboard is bare right now so could you help us out? For other wish list items, check out our website at www.hsburnettcty.org and scroll to the bottom of the page to see our current needs. If you are interested in Katniss or Sophie, please call HSBC at 715-866-4096 to arrange for a meet and greet during public hours. Public hours are Tuesday - Friday, noon -5 p.m. or Saturday 11 a.m. 3 p.m. Both HSBC and the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption and Education Center have Facebook pages.

Man admits to pair of burglaries in Town of Rusk JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––Lester R. Gates, 44, Spooner, has been charged with one count of burglary of a building or dwelling, a class F felony and misdemeanor theft. According to the criminal complaint, a Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy was dispatched to a burglary on N. Rice Lake Road in the Town of Rusk. Upon arrivng at their cabin that afternoon, Lester R. Gates the owners noticed it had been broken into and several items had been stolen. The owners showed the deputy a window in the kitchen that looked like it had been booted open from the outside porch. Among items stolen were several bottles of alcohol, a jar of change that had been emptied, and large amounts of frozen meat and dry goods. The cabin owners told the deputy that their friend had plowed the driveway two days ago and said it must have happened in the last 48 hours. The deputy then noticed foot prints and tracks from a child’s sled on the side of the house near the porch. He followed those tracks to another house on N. Rice Lake Road. Three deputies knocked on that house’s door; after five minutes Gates

opened a different door to the house and came outside. He told the deputies that his house had also been burglarized recently. Inside the house, deputies noticed a blue sled and met Richard Priesgen, who also lived in the house. Gates told deputies that his house was broken into one or two weeks ago and the perpetrators broke his kitchen window. He said his kitchen table and chairs were stolen. At this point, deputies explained to Gates that he had a warrant. Gates knew about the warrant and was arrested. Deputies found several empty liquor bottles that fit the description from the house that was burglarized. Priesgen explained to the deputies that Gates had allegedly burglarized a house down the street the day before. The complaint said according to Priesgen, Gates selected the house when they were walking down the street and Priesgen tried to talk him out of it. Gates allegedly committed the burglary and would fill a sled with alcohol and food. Priesgen admitted to drinking some of the alcohol and eating some of the food, but denied taking part in the burglaries. He then assisted the deputies in gathering as much of the stolen food and alcohol from the house. Later that day another burglary was SEE GATES, PAGE 25

Indoor Rendezvous provides shoppers a piece of the past LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

The Indoor Rendezvous Trade Fair at Forts Folle Avoine is a great place to shop for high-quality craftsmanship. This past weekend, the venue allowed 17 craftpeople and traders the opportunity to lighten their inventory before they start creating new wares for the summer season. Many vendors not only make their own wares, but they take pride in using materials and practices that are historically accurate to the time period. Additionally, they love to share their knowledge with flatlanders (those of us not familiar with rendezvous) of their wares and the time period. Fred Bruner, Fall Creek, has been a bladesmith since 1986, and been attending rendezvous for approximately 25 years. Each tool is made by hand, and it can take a day to make one piece. Bruner is a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild, which requires members to continually improve their craftsmanship and actively sell their creations. With the array of tools Brunner had on display, the chances of getting bored with the craft look slim. Form is as important as function. Bruner displayed a muzzleloader bayonet that had a functional handle for hand use as well as placing into the barrel of a spent rifle. He also featured a knife with a damascus steel birds nest pattern. The subtle pattern and color variances in the blade created by folding pieces of steel and iron coupled with several firings produce an attractive finish on a very functional hunting knife. Gail Anderson, Prentice, was introduced to rendezvous about 16 years ago by her husband, Roger Pilsner. She was manning a trading post that included several beeswax products, handcarved woodworking items such as needle cases, and various hand sewn and period-accurate items of clothing “no zippers, no velcro.” She

and Pilsner make nearly all of what they had on display, and was quick to share that Pilsner was the guy to get the story of the development of the historical reenactment. “He’s been doing this for 45 years.” Pilsner who has been involved in this since June of 1974 “when the IRS told me I had to file for a business license,” has seen many changes through the years. In the Wisconsin/ Minnesota area, what is now rendezvous got its start as primarily muzzleloading shoots where participants brought along their homemade period-accurate works to show others. These “blanket traders” eventually began selling their wares and the trading process began to take on its own life. “In the 1980s, it was mostly craftspeople. In the 90’s, the traders became more plentiful.” Each craftsperson has a bit of a specialty. Pilsner considers himself a toolmaker. There is a restored antique knitting machine in the corner of the hall. Pointing to it, Pilsner says, “That was in one of the sheds here. They asked if I could take a look at it, and I took some time, but got it back to working order.” At larger venues, he will make tools like handsaws at the booth, and enjoys being able to have the space and time to do classes. “I can make you a saw. But if I get YOU to make a saw and get you hooked, that’s what I’m after.” At longer, two-week long events, he will set up a woodshop, and take on two apprentices. “There is usually a line, and the kids know if there is any pushing or shoving, they’re done. I like to spot the kid who might be a bit troubled, Doesn’t always follow the rules, and teach them the skills.” As with any high-end custom work, Pilsner says there is a definite sign that you’ve peaked as a craftsperson. “When people come up to your table, look at your stuff and say ‘Wow!’ People often say that’s nice, or that’s pretty, but when you hear that word, you know you’ve arrived.”

AMERY–Hunter Sellent, Dominic Caroon and Mikel Louis of the Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling coop lost out on Saturday at the Sectional Wrestling Tournament at Amery. “Every year I tell the kids that the goal is to make it to Sectionals,” stated LFGS wrestling coach Chris Bartlett. “That is the only way you can make it to State. Anything can happen and you have an opportunity to make it.” Hunter went 0-2 and did not place. “but he wrestled well. The first kid was very strong and took second place. He won his next match so that gave Hunter another chance. His defense in the second match was great. He was able to defend off his opponent's shots and score off of them.” “Going into the third period, it was 6-1. I chose for Hunter to go down in the third. Unfortunately, his opponent was able to put Hunter in an arm bar the second time and Hunter was pinned.” “Hunter always seems to turn it on for Sectionals. Next year's goal has to be State. He is a good enough wrestler and that is what we are going to push for next year,” finished the coach. Dominic went 0-2 and did not place. “He was, in my opinion, in the toughest weight class. By rankings, we had the first, second third and fifth ranked wrestlers in the State at our Sectional. Dominic was unfortunate to get the number one guy. He made it into the second round before getting caught and pinned. The fifth ranked wrestler beat the third ranked wrestler to make it to state. Dominic is a natural athlete and has great hips and counts on them a little more than he should. If we can get him to throw in a few moves next year, he is going to be tough to beat,” concluded the coach on Dominic. Mikel went 0-1 and did not place. “I don't know what to say here. I have been coaching wrestling for 19 years and I had a first this year. The day of the Sectionals, Mikel comes down with the flu. He had been wrestling well and I considered him the second best wrestler at that weight (285). He was leading his match with 20 seconds remaining, wasn’t able to keep his head up, and was pinned. The tough pill to swallow was seeing the kid he pinned at Regionals make it to state. Mikel’s is a good kid, and will realize over time that there was nothing he could have done. It is just reality. He is very disappointed.” In closing, “Most kids never get the chance to make it to Sectionals, let alone State. You may only get the one chance in your wrestling career to make it to State. No one knows what the next season will bring. Injuries, illness or different opponents to wrestle maykeep you out. I have seven kids who made it to State their freshmen year and never made it there again.” “We are losing only one senior and gaining around four freshmen. I expect to see a handful of our guys making it to Sectionals and giving themselves a shot to go to State. I don't like the feeling of not having a wrestler make State. I already am looking forward to next year to change that.”

Pirates outlast Saints BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Grantsburg Pirates secured at least a share of the West Lakeland Conference title on Friday night as they defeated the St. Croix Falls Saints, 58-50. The win puts the Pirates at 10-1 in conference play as they head into the final week of the regular season. Grantsburg can win the title outright if they defeat Unity on Thursday night. If they lose, they would share the crown with Webster at 10-2. “It was obviously a big game for us, so it was nice to get out of St. Croix with a win,” Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg said. “Our defense was solid again, but offensively we weren’t very consistent. We’d make a few runs to stretch the lead and then just stop scoring for four or five possessions.” The Pirates took the lead early and held control the entire game, taking a 27-21 lead at the break. SCF was not able to stop Grantsburg’s interior play as they consistently drove the lane and dominated the boards. The Saints’ three-point shooting SEE PIRATES ON PAGE 17

WEBSTER—In the last conference game of the season, and also Parents Night at Webster, the Siren Dragons defeated the Webster Tiger girls team 55-41. The Tigers had early leads of 7-3 and 11-6, but Siren chipped away at those leads and knotted the game at 11 on a three point shot by Paeyton McKnight. At 13-13, both team had free throw opportunities up to the halftime horn. Webster had a two point shooting foul attempt and missed both. They also had a front end of a one-and-one, and didn't convert. Siren didn't make the front ends of three oneand-one's, missed a free throw after a successful field goal, and missed two shots on a Webster foul. The Dragons maintained a 23-17 halftime margin. Cassie Maslow and Paeyton McKnight each had six points for the Dragons. Hannah McDowell had eight tallies for the Tigers. After almost four minutes passed into the second half, Webster had scored four to the Dragons three. Time was called. Siren increased their lead to ten on a field goal

The Dragons went on an 8-5 run, moving the score to Siren 40, Webster 27 with 5:19 remaining in the contest. Two minutes later, the Tigers cut into the lead by three, now trailing 44-36. During that spurt, McDowell had two three point shots and was one for two from the line. Siren had an usual four point play in that Hannah Lemieux was fouled in the act of shooting a three point shot. The basket was good and so was the ensuing free throw. After the Tigers were

three for four from the charity stripe (McDowell one for two and Julia Gavin two for two), the Dragons ran off nine straight points, three each by Jade Horstman and Paeyton McKnight. Webster got two additional free throw out of four chances, but the lead was too great and Siren took the contest. The Tigers' Hannah McDowell was the game high scorer with 18. Siren was led by Jade Horstman with 12 and Paeyton McKnight with 10. Both teams will have opened first round regional play on Tuesday with Webster traveling to Ladysmith and Siren hosting Solon Springs.

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Grantsburg Pirates wrapped up regular season play at St. Croix Falls on Friday, falling to the tough conference champs 56-33. The Pirates did not go down without a fight, though. Despite trailing 27-12 at halftime, the Pirates rallied back the second half to score 21 points to the Saints’ 29 points. Grantsburg was able to get it within 13 with just over four minutes left in the game, but the Saints had one last burst left and went on a run to finish out the game. “We tried to slow down our offense a little so we would not give St. Croix as many possessions. I think that it worked somewhat because SCF did not hit fifty until the last two minutes of the game,� Pirates coach Penny Curtin said. “Ohnstad and Quimby continue to play hard and lead the team both offensively and defensively.� The Saints went undefeated in conference play at 12-0 to take first place. The Pirates finish the season at 6-6 in conference play and tie with Frederic for a third place finish in the standings.

GATES: Town of Rusk burglaries

Primitive Biathlon

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

Gates added he had a severe meth problem and was glad he was in jail. He also said he is willing to show an officer the houses the pair had broken into. Woody drove him around, and Gates pointed out two houses that both Gates and Priesgen had broken into. He also pointed out a few other houses he believed Priesgen had broken into alone and several other locations on the street that he thought he might have tried breaking into. If convicted of burglary of a building or dwelling, Gates faces a $25,000 fine or 12 years and 6 months imprisoned, or both. He also faces $10,000 fine or nine months in prison, or both. Gates will have his preliminary hearing on Feb. 22 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

reported on Logan Lane, which is next door to the N. Rice Lake Road home. The victims told a Sheriff’s deputy that a blu-ray player, a flat screen TV and several bottles of alcohol were stolen. Deputies went back to Gates home. They spoke again with Priesgen, who invited them in and the deputies found the blu-ray player and some of the specific alcohol bottles that were reported stolen. On Jan. 27, Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Jared Woody interviewed Gates. Gates admitted to the N. Rice Lake Road burglary, but said Priesgen was lying about Gates committing them himself. Gates said that Priesgen allegedly committed several burglaries within the area of their house.

Living in the present

Pastor Brad Moore Grace Baptist

I am really enjoying the Olympics. It is amazing what these elite athletes can do with their bodies on skates, sleds, skis, snowboards, etc... Jim McKay’s words from the TV series ‘Wide World of Sports’ capture the essence of all athletics: “Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sports...the thrill of victory...and the agony of defeat...the human drama of athletic competition�. But whether an athlete reaches the height of success and receives a gold medal or fades quietly away in defeat, all of it is temporary. Our bodies, the medals, the

money–all have a relatively short life span. One day, sooner or later, our bodies wear out and the things we have will be no more. And then what? We cannot simply live in past glories. The past is good for remembering and learning from, not living in. We can only live fully in the present with an eye to the future of what can and will be. That is why being a follower of Christ is designed to be a joyful and exciting life-long experience. It is living in the present in a trusting relationship with Jesus who gives permanent and lasting meaning to life and

also gives a sure, future hope of everlasting life in heaven. It begins the moment we turn from our own sinfulness in repentance and trust in Jesus’ death on the cross that paid the penalty for our sins. And then relying on Him to lead us in a life that stands, eternally, the test of time. I know living for material things can sound pretty good‌for a time. But living in relationship with Jesus now and for all eternity is, quite simply, glorious.

Princess Crafternoon Grantsburg Community Education hosted the 2nd Annual Princess Crafternoon Tea Party on Saturday, Feb. 10. In attendance were 63 princesses - including daughters and their moms, grandmas, aunties and friends. Thank you to Maria Scheider for organizing this year’s event along with 14 volunteers who helped create a princess reading center, princess dress-up station, craft stations, nail salon, cupcake decorating, and - of course - our tea and treats station. Thanks also to those who made contributions and donations to make this event memorable for the girls. This event is an amazing opportunity for young girls to realize their value and encourage an opportunity for girls to experience a fun event and create positive memories. Each girl has an opportunity to learn that being a princess is not about what you wear but about who you are and what you say… encouraging them to be kind with their words, thoughts and dare to dream big!
