Webster Police investigating Alder Street shooting

Minnesota man killed in snowmobile accident

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER–– Webser Chief of Police Mike Spafford said his department is investigating a shooting that took place March 2 on W. Alder Street. Spafford said the Sheriff’s Department got the call Friday night and his department began the investigation. “Right now we’re still trying to figure out what happened,” Spafford said. “Because if someone is just shooting into unoccupied cars – well that concerns and worries me.” Spafford said he is still working on leads. “We didn’t find any (bullet) casings at the scene,” Spafford said. He added this could mean that the car was traveling west bound and was shooting from the passenger side. Spafford said that would mean the casings may have fallen into the car. Spafford said the Department was looking into people of interest Tuesday morning SEE SHOOTING, PAGE 2

Assembly Rep. Jarchow announces he won’t seek re-election Dresser Republican throws hat in ring SUZANNE LINDGREN EDITOR@OSCEOLASUN.COM

Adam Jarchow, the representative for Wisconsin’s 28th Assembly District, announced last Thursday that he would not seek re-election this fall. Jarchow made the announcement via DrydenWire, an online media outlet

based in Spooner. The Sun confirmed with the politician’s Madison office that the statement was accurate and authored by Jarchow. The announcement reads: “I have a bumper sticker on the refrigerator in our garage. It says: ‘Politicians, like diapers, should be changed often, and for the same reason.’

and was hoping they had information about the shooting.

Student referred for bomb-making discussion Spafford said two middle school students were discussing making a bomb and one has been referred for charges with Burnett County Social Services. “These two students were discussing how to make a bomb, where to place it and were checking out books to help them,” Spafford said. “They talked about making a lot of flames.” He said a student came forward voluntarily and told school officials. Spafford said the students are enrolled in the middle school, aged 12 or 13. He added that years ago these threats did not have to be investigated because people were predictable. “People aren’t predictable anymore,” Spafford said. “Now everything has to be taken seriously. You just don’t know.”

School shooting threat On Feb. 28 Webster school received report of rumors about a school threat. The school sent out a message using their Skyward Alert System to tell parents about the rumors that evening. Spafford said that the investigation into the suspected school shooting threat has ended. “A student came forward and told school officials what they heard the female student talking about,” Spafford said. “There was nothing directly threatening about what the student was saying.” Spafford said the investigation was handled by the Webster Police Department “The investigation is completed unless more information comes forward in the future,” Spafford said.

Magnafici is a graduate of Amery High School. She earned a degree in applied science from Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Ill. and began her career as a registered nurse in 1982. After 35 years in health care — including caring for people with developmental disabilities at the department of mental health and, later, for children at the St. Paul Children’s Hospital — Magnafici retired in 2017. She lives outside Dresser with her husband, Tom Magnafici, with whom she owns a small business. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to run for public office and serve the people of the 28th District,” Magnafici said. “There is nowhere else in this world I would rather live — I love this place. I would be honored to be able to serve in the State Assembly.” Magnafici hopes to use her experience to help Wisconsin continue to lead in health care innovation and cost savings. “While I am so grateful and proud of the work that Governor Walker and Adam Jarchow have done — there is more to do,” she said. “The health care industry is changing every day and I would love to be able use my experience and skills to make life better for the people of Wisconsin.”

Jarchow, a Republican from Balsam Lake finishing his second term, has endorsed Magnafici for the seat, according to the press release from Magnafici’s campaign. Last week, former District 28 Rep. Erik Severson and former District 29 Rep. John Murtha endorsed Magnafici, both hailing her nursing experience and conservative values.

‘There is nowhere in this wold I would rather live – I love this place. I would be honored to serve in the State Assembly.’ Gae Magnaﬁci Dresser Republican “As a physician, I know that Gae’s years of experience in the medical field will be a huge asset to the legislature as it continues to tackle health care issues,” Severson said. “Being a nurse for 35 years, Gae has spent her career

making life saving decisions every single day. The ability to make a tough decision and stand by it is exactly what is needed to make a difference in the State Assembly. “Further,” he continued, “I am thrilled to support a candidate who is staunchly pro-life. Gae will continue to fight to protect the most vulnerable in our society – the unborn. Please join me in supporting Gae Magnafici – a conservative voice for Northwestern Wisconsin.” Said Murtha, “Personally, I know Gae to be a smart, thoughtful, no-nonsense woman who will fight for everything we believe in as conservatives. “I believe her years of making tough decisions, while working as a nurse in the healthcare profession, has given her valuable experience she needs to represent the 28th District in Madison. We need Gae’s leadership in Madison – please join me in supporting her campaign.” Elections for the Wisconsin State Assembly will be held Nov. 6, 2018. The field is still open, as candidates may file until June 1. Kim Butler of Balsam Lake is running for the District 28 seat as a Democrat. If necessary, a primary election will be held August 14.

Luck of the Irish JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

I have a very specific St. Patrick’s Day ritual. I go online and search for one of the greatest Saturday Night Live skits of all time from March of 1977. This year it’s on Vimeo. It features John Belushi on Weekend Update. It’s called Luck of the Irish. During the skit, Belushi goes after the common phrase. He asserts that the Irish don’t have any luck. “Let’s talk about the bad luck of the Irish, all right? How about this, POTATO FAMINE!!,” Belushi yells. “How about that? It scares them, doesn’t it?” Then Belushi tells a story about an Irish guy he knows. The guy was supposedly in India on a spiritual retreat when his mother dies. Then on his way back to America, Sentinel he gets busted at the border for trafficking illegal drugs. Editor “Now that’s not bad luck, that’s Jonathan Richie dumb luck,” he states. “I don’t think luck has anything to do with it, I don’t think he has any brains at all.” Then Belushi insults his mother on a bail call and explains how this friend now wants to kill him. It ends with Belushi yelling about how the Irish love their mothers. In the olden days of iPods, I had figured out a way to download that video and put it on my iPod so I could watch it whenever I wanted. Then it became an obsession and I had come up with the goal of knowing the entire scene verbatim. One night – I believe it was while I was in junior high – the whole family was in the car. I sat in the front seat and played it for my brother. Siren had their St. Patrick’s Day celebration. As a member of the local press, I was at the ShamWalk 5K at Siren School on Saturday morning. It reminded me of when I did a mile race at the Sampson Stomp at the Milwaukee Zoo with my dad when I was eight. He thought that was the moment I would or should start training for a 5K. That way I would be able to run marathons with him, I assume that was his plan – but it was not mine. And 19 years later, I still have yet to seriously train for a 5K and I am OK with that. However I do try to do 20 minutes on the elliptical three days a week. On Saturday afternoon I went to the Siren parade. I started having terrible flashbacks when I saw the school band, but luckily they kicked off the festivities, so the shakes went away fast. Next week is the Webb Lake parade, which I have been told stories about since I started working here. Actually one of the first phone calls I received after getting this job was from a man telling me how much fun the parade is and how I’ll enjoy it. And after talking with a bunch of people, I believe him. Lastly, don’t drink and drive. Or you’ll probably have some of that dumb luck or worse. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Vitamin D for Democracy TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

There have been numerous studies about the health benefits of sunshine. Just 15 minutes a day in the sun gives the average person their daily dose of Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps maintain healthy bones and teeth and may also protect against From the Publisher’s cancer, type 1 diabetes and Desk multiple sclerosis. It’s pretty amazing Tom Stangl when you think h you get this hi protection from that simply being in the sun. But as amazing as Vitamin D is, scientists tell us that it dissipates quite quickly, meaning that stores can run low, especially in winter. Recent studies have suggested that a substantial percentage of the global population is vitamin D deficient. Another benefit of being in the sunshine is that your mood improves. The next time it’s cloudy for an extended period time, check the mood of the people you encounter. It won’t be good. This week is National Sunshine Week, a time set aside every year to highlight the importance of

openness in government. It has many names – sunshine, transparency – but it all means the same thing: government is better when conducted as much as possible in plain sight. Elected officials serve the public. They are elected to act in the best interest of the people they serve. We hopefully choose people who understand this basic principle. Many of our public servants understand this, at least at first, and do their best to do the right thing. But it is very easy to go from the sunshine into the shade. Sometimes, there are difficult or sensitive issues that may upset people that need to be discussed in private. Lawmakers long ago identified the topics that should be protected from premature discussion in public when they created the open meetings law. Ethical leaders use this law for its stated intent to protect information when it is proper. But the temptation to avoid scrutiny and input can be strong. Technology has given elected officials a new way to “discuss” issues – using email or chat programs and holding a virtual meeting, often discussing issues before a meeting. While I can understand the desire to avoid controversy, the public’s trust deserves openness and honesty. Even though it often seems like we lack the maturity to do so, we

can handle the truth. It is always better to err on the side of openness when it comes to governance. As the employers of elected officials, it is the public’s job to hold them accountable. When we perceive that things don’t seem or smell right, it is acceptable and our responsibility to ask the hard questions. If there is nothing wrong, a question won’t hurt a bit. Our democracy needs a daily dose of sunshine to develop strong bones. Governing is hard work and our elected officials need to remember that doing as much business as possible in the open is always the best policy. During Sunshine Week, I would encourage you to thank the elected officials that you believe are keeping your best interest in mind and question those who you believe are staying in the dark too often. A healthy dialog between taxpayers and elected officials is one of the basic tenets of our democracy. And if you can’t stand in the sunshine for a few minutes a day, perhaps you should reevaluate your choices. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

by Patzy Wenthe

Attorney general contest a ‘sleeper race’ in busy election year WISPOLITICS.COM

With the upcoming state Supreme Court race next month and big fall races for governor and U.S. Senate, some other contests are chugging along without much attention. One of those sleeper races is the contest for attorney general. Brad Schimel, the former Waukesha County district attorney who is finishing up his first term as attorney general, will be facing Josh Kaul, a former federal prosecutor and son of former Democratic Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager. The race is on the radar screen of some national groups, but it figures to be overshadowed by the huge spending that will take place over the re-election bids of GOP Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin. Schimel has often aligned himself with Walker, and many insiders suggest his fate likely will parallel the outcome for Walker. In the meantime, though, Schimel sometimes strikes a more conservative profile than Walker. In a recent WisPolitics.com interview, Schimel addressed two of these differences. He says he doesn’t see any contradiction between the lawsuit he’s pursuing seeking to end the Affordable Care Act and Walker’s plan to help prop up the state’s individual marketplace. Wisconsin is one of 20 states that recently sued the federal government, arguing that Congress’ recent nixing of a tax penalty provision attached to the individual mandate in the GOP tax overhaul bill means Obamacare is no longer constitutional. The suit came a day before Walker signed into law a $200 million reinsurance program that would cover 50 percent to 80 percent of claims between $50,000 and $250,000. The Walker administration says by covering those claims, it would provide stability in the market and drive down costs for the more than 200,000 Wisconsinites who are covered through the market. But Schimel, in the WisPolitics.com interview, noted Walker was aware of the lawsuit he was pursuing and said “there’s nothing contradictory” between the actions he, the Republican governor and the GOP-run Legislature are taking. “Wisconsin had a highly successful high-risk pool back before Obamacare,” Schimel said. “Of course, Obamacare undid that. Now, (Walker’s) putting in place a backstop for people that are in high risk categories and the state certainly can do that. We don’t undo their efforts with our lawsuit.”

Asked if he was concerned his lawsuit could hurt Walker’s efforts to stabilize the markets, as some have suggested, Schimel noted it’s “unlikely the lawsuit will be concluded very quickly.” While he acknowledged the possibility of an injunction from the U.S. District Court judge where the lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Texas, he said ultimately the suit would help attract more insurance providers. “If Obamacare is put on hold, we believe that more providers will enter the market again,” he said. “Many of those that got out might come back and others might enter it.” Schimel also said the suit has a strong basis because of the changes to the individual mandate in the tax overhaul bill President Trump signed in December that zeroed out the tax penalty for those who don’t have health insurance. The tax, he said, is a key reason the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 upheld Obamacare. “The problem with the individual mandate is that while government may regulate commerce, it may not – and the courts held this – coerce commerce, it can’t force you to buy something. So that’s the position we’re in, why we believe we’ll be successful this time,” he said. Schimel also reiterated his support for giving school districts the ability to arm teachers, if they so choose. “I think local school districts know best how to decide what’s best for their school and they can work with their local law enforcement to determine what would be the best way to render their schools safer,” he said. Walker is against the idea, saying “most teachers aren’t interested in that.” In early March, Schimel officially launched his re-election campaign, unveiling a new video highlighting his record of “fighting for Wisconsin.” The video also touts Schimel’s work “keeping communities across Wisconsin safe” by cracking down on violent crime, drug abuse and human trafficking, as well as working to safeguard senior citizens from fraud and abuse. “Across the state, Wisconsin families have a tough, fair and independent leader defending the rule of law in Madison,” the narrator says.

Oh, yes! This month I become a true official senior citizen. Yep! The big “65.” So, I just may flash you with that new Red, White & Blue card that’s in my billfold! Haha! Some of my friends at the Center who share being a March baby are: Marilyn Mattison (SK), March 5; Millie Brewer, March 6; Marilyn Kallman and Yvonne Bergman, March 8; Stan Peer, March 9; Norma Fiedler, March 21; Marlys Hedberg and myself, March 25; Bruce Benedict, March 26; and Linda Dahl, March 31.

If any of my fellow classmates are interested, there are a couple of presentations coming to the center. The first, a Medical Supply Educational Seminar, is April 10 at 1 p.m. at the Senior Center. Learn about fall prevention, see demonstrations on equipment, or maybe you’re interested in the Diabetic Shoe program.

Forts set for new log cabin coln for Lincoln Road. Two years ago the Town of Blaine received a grant for the Springbrook Trail and last year the Towns of Union and Swiss were both given grants for road ork. The County Forest Road Grant has awarded over $58,000 over the last three years. West Marshland Township and Sand Lake applied for the grants this year. The Town of Swiss also applied, but they were awarded a grant last year and are not eligible this year. The Sand Lake project involves work being done on Emerson Road, where it connects with Highway X and Gaslyn Road. The West Marshland plans on using the grant funds for graveling Reed Lake Road from County Road F to James Road. They will also be graveling from the Reed Lake Road intersection along with Peet Post Office Road from County Road F to Reed Lake Road.

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– The Natural Resources committee approved the Forts Folle Avoine new building request last week, but they will not be adding anything new. The 80 year-old log cabin from Sand Lake, approved to be added to the Forts property later this year, was donated by a man who inherited it. The cable will be located near the blacksmith’s shed at the Forts. Jim McKeown, president of the Burnett County Historical Society said bringing in this cabin will expand the Forts current attractions and help grow tourism. The cabin is made with Tamarack poles The Forts will cover the cost of relocating the cabin about 50 miles north. McKeown said the moving company they have used in the past estimated the moving costs around $6,000 and he said they have already collected $10,000 in donations. He added that the Burnett County Historical Society will take care of the cabin’s maintenance, which is in very good shape. Blank said the roof is not leaking, a rarity for a cabin of this age. “None of the wood is rotted. The only thing we must do is build a foundation for it,” McKeown said. Schools continue to be a big supporter of the Forts. McKeown said a school in Barron County is visiting soon with 125 students.

Yellow Lake Food Distribution Fundraiser The committee approved the Yellow Lake Food Distribution Fundraiser Request on the Gandy Dancer Trail in September. Nichols said it will be for a 5k run/walk. This is the third year of the event, and it needed approval from the committee. They are also planning on using Veterans Park in Siren, but that request goes through the state, Nichols said. Nichols told the committee that the trail would still be open to other people who want to use it on the day of the run/walk. In a letter to the committee, Yellow Lake Food Distribution Chairman, Debbie O’Connell said this is the only fundraiser the group has. “We are currently helping over 580 families a month with food. A total of more than 1600 people,” O’Connell wrote. “Most of these families come from Burnet County, but we also help people from surrounding areas. Our distribution is strictly funded by this fund raiser along with donations and grants.” She added last year they had over 40 participants.

County Forest Town Roads Grants Forest administrator Jake Nichols said the Forestry and Parks department has $18,000 to distribute to municipalities in the county to assist with their road projects. Towns in Burnett County that have county forest acreage within their boundaries are eligible for these 50/50 grants. Towns and Villages that offer a direct main access route to county forest lands are also eligible, but the funds can only be used on those main routes. In 2015 the department gave grants to Sand Lake for Normans Landing Road and the Town of Lin-

Grantsburg Revitalization Operation looking to improve community JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG–– The Grantsburg Revitalization Operation, known as GRO, is determined to get the speed on Highway 70 dropped from 40 mph to 35 mph in the village. The group is also looking at adding a fitness trail near the public pool and a walking trail on Olson Drive. On Monday night at the Grantsburg Village Board meeting GRO made multiple presentations led by Pam Davies and Kristina Kelly-Johnson. Speed reduction Kelly-Johnson began with explaining GRO’s desire to get a crosswalk put in at the Grantsburg stoplight along with the speed reduction. They reached out directly to Wisconsin Department of Transportation officials. “They would like us to draft a letter and have it signed by the clerk or Village President and then they can start working on a road survey,” Kelly-Johnson said. She added that they asked about cutting through all of the red tape to get this done quicker, and the DOT official told them that was impossible. Village Trustee’s then had a brief discussion about semi-trucks and other large vehicles going too fast leading up to the light and not having enough room to stop. “I was out there the other day and saw two school buses go right through the light because they were going too fast to stop,” said Trustee Diane Barton. “Also, people from outside of town do not recognize that this is a school zone,” Kelly-Johnson said. The board approved a letter to be drafted and sent to the DOT recommending a speed reduction. If the speed is reduced they can begin talks about adding a crosswalk at the light. Fitness trail Davies explained that GRO has received a grant from Grantsburg Telcom for equipment on the fitness trail. GRO has been working with Grantsburg Schools and DSGW Architects, Inc. on the trail idea. She said they have two potential sites – one would wrap around the public pool and the other would be closer to the high school.

Olson drive walkway Davies said since Olson Drive does not have a sidewalk something could be put there. Her presentation had screenshots from Google Maps Street view that showed where the walkway might go. She noted where the side of the roadway drops off and when it becomes narrow. “We could put an asphalt path in or line the walkway with a wooden boardwalk,” Davies said. Trustee Coy said that parts of the potential walkway have been used for decades by the snowmobile club. Davies said she has had limited contact with them, but agreed their input would be helpful. Kelly-Johnson explained that all of these GRO projects are meant to entice people to the Village and not just have people drive through. “People say all the time, ‘Yeah I know Grantsburg, we drive through all the time to get to our cabin,’” Kelly-Johnson said. “We want people to be able to see these things like a fitness trail and get out of their cars and stop and enjoy our village.” In other items: The board approved paying $4,500 consulting fee to SEH. Dan Penzkover, Senior Project Manager at SEH, said they will now begin coming up with project ideas focused on downtown Grantsburg. Their plan is to then apply for a Community Development Block Grant that could fund 50 percent of a maximum $1 million project.

Village Trustee Gary “Goob” Coy said that the site near the school would not be ideal for the football team. “I’m a football coach and we run our sled right through that site during fall practices,” Coy said. Davies said they the school shared the same opinion. “This trail would potentially be right outside the windows of the math and science rooms,” Davies said. “So we are leaning towards the pool site.” The board was enthusiastic about the potential trail and voted to allow GRO to continue looking into the fitness trail idea and possible site. “It’s definitely an exciting idea,” said Trustee Caylin Muehlberg.

DOT Resolution The Village of Siren applied for a Transportation Alternatives Program, commonly known as TAP grant. The TAP grant will cover 80 percent of costs for Department of Transportation projects between 2018-2022. “Basically, the DOT will provide 80 percent of the costs, but before we know if we have received the grant we must have a resolution in place to pay the remaining 20 percent of the costs,” Peterson said. “Now

Mobile Food cart fees The board also approved a fee for mobile food carts in the village. The fee will be $25 per day. “This is for carts on private property. So if people are selling snow cones in front of a business in town they need to buy this permit” Alden said. “The way it used to work is, as long as the business owner had no problem with it and gave permission there was no cost.

Trustee Rick Engstrom said, “That’s the last tournament of the year. The ice comes off after that.” The board also approved setting a date for Village cleanup. The clean-up is set for May 12, pending approval from the Hockey Association. Peterson said there parking lot is the standard location for the project.

‘This is going to be a quick meeting, not all members are here and the Police Chief is out today.’

Police Report Although Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers was not at the meeting he explained earlier in the week that cases are still going up. “We’ve had about 124 cases this year,” Sybers said in his office on Monday. “With 74 in January, that’s about 50 last month in February.” Sybers said he was estimating the February numbers because he did not yet have the final February numbers when he was interviewed. “I know we had less cases in February,” Sybers said. “But the month also had less days. We’re still putting the numbers together.”

SIREN–– Village President Dave Alden admitted to the Siren Village Board before their monthly meeting began that it may be brief. “I don’t have anything from my President’s report and I don’t think Ann has anything for the clerk’s report,” Alden said. “Also there won’t be a police report because the chief is up at the school.” Village Clerk/Treasurer Ann Peterson agreed that she did not have anything to report on. So after the pledge of allegiance they had what was known as the shortest meeting in recent village history. The board approved buying 20 garbage cans lids at $56 each. Alden said the money for the lids comes from the Village’s outlay fund. The lids will be used throughout parks in Siren. Members of the board wanted to know why lids for 55-gallon trashcans were so expensive. “This is the low price for the lids,” said Village Trustee Village President Rudy Mothes. “They run up Dave Alden to $80 to $90 per lid. We went said of the Village Board Meeting with the lower option.” that was eight minutes long Mothes added that the lids are plastic and will fit over steel or plastic cans. They also will sit lower on the can for more stability. At the Buildings, Grounds and Parks committee meeting in February the committee decided the lids will be attached with a bungee cord or small chain so the lid doesn’t blow away if the cans tip over.

that 20 percent could be covered by CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) grant.” Peterson said the TAP grant would be used to build a pedestrian trail running south from the intersection at County Road B and Highway 70 to Clear Lake Park. She added, “The trail would run along the east side of the highway and then have a pedestrian crossing at the park.”

Grantsburg School Board tackles paperwork LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—It was a night of paperwork for the Grantsburg School Board, reviewing policies, taking reports, and discussing proposals. Luckily, some of those weren’t as mundane as they sound.

Policies Reviewed Four policies were reviewed and approved by the board. Each policy contained little to no changes from the previous version. Those with wording changes were revised to accommodate legislation that had changed on the federal or state level. These policies are: •

Remodeling moving forward The building committee has had several meetings with DSGW Architects, Inc. on the remodeling projects for the school grounds. Upgrades to the Elementary School entryway include better lighting inside the covered walkway. Also discussed was a possible relocation of the fitness trail from the west side of the school grounds to the east side, running behind the pool. This is a move that will involve collaboration with the Village and the GRO committee, but there is potential for community benefit. “With the trail being near the pool, it will give parents something to do while waiting for their kids. Moms can take strollers around the trail,” Board Member Russ Erickson pointed out. The new site also has easy access to public parking, which will encourage the public to take advantage of the proposed half-mile trail.

•

Asset Management policy. Changes the amount of cost on fixed assets to be capitalized from $300 to $1000, which affects which items are depreciated each year. The federal limit is $5000. Federal Time and Effort Policy. Minor changes to wording to allow for federal changes in tracking hours for staff under federal programs (Title I, Spec. Ed. Etc.) Dual High School/College Credit program. Drafting language to split the former Youth Options Program into two programs. The Early College Credit program geared toward potential four-year university credits and the Start College Now program which focuses on further technical studies. The Minnesota Youth Options Program, a voluntary agreement between Grantsburg Schools and Cambridge Community College and Pine Tech, has not changed.

No other changes were made to the requirements and procedures for these programs. •

CESA 11 Shared Service Contract. No changes.

Math, Music, History, and Drama Elementary students recently celebrated 100 days in school with Math Week. During the week, designed to show children the use of math in practical application, the students completed projects such as birdhouses and baking. Two middle school students, Levi Prusinski and Will Gerber, were awarded Best in Site Award at the recent Middle School Solo & Ensemble. The competition, including students from Grantsburg, Siren, Luck, Frederic and Webster, was held at Grantsburg Middle School. The high school recently received a pictorial history of the Grantsburg School District, The display, organized by era from 1940’s to present, is housed in the High School Conference Room. “I would like to thank Jeanne Marek, Merlin Johnson, and the late Clayton Jorgenson on their work to collect this history and help us honor our heritage by remembering the district’s past,” GHS Principal Josh Watt said of the two-year project. iForward has space on the brain.

The school has been selected as one of 31 experiments to be conducted on the International Space Station as a part of the Space Science Education in Program(SSEP)in June. Further, the school held an SSEP-linked Script Writing Contest. The winning entries, Oasis by Sara Baxter(High School) and The Little Doors of Spring by Inari Eckstine (Middle School). Both plays will be performed by the iForward Drama Club sometime in May. Also discussed •

The principals shared the minor maintenance items that have been completed the past year.

•

There was a short discussion on security protocols regarding entrance to buildings.

•

The Spanish and Biology departments received approval to begin planning for a spring 2019 trip to Costa Rica during spring break. They anticipate being able to take 15 students to the Osa Peninsula to connect with Costa Rican students and learn about collaborative efforts between the Wisconsin DNR and Costa Rican National Park System.

Hauge Dental Clinic, in Centuria, a leader in the comprehensive dental care since 1975 will soon change its name to River Birch Dental. In 2016, Dr. Paul Hauge sold the dental practice to Dr. Georgie Vargas. As part of the ownership transition, a new clinic name was a predictable change. The change to River Birch Dental will not change any of the high quality patient care. Dr. Hauge will continue to serve his patients at the same location and with the same excellence as he has for the past 40+ years. Dr. Vargas, Dr. Hauge, and Dr. Kuntz will still continue to care for all your preventative and comprehensive dental treatment. These comprehensive general dentistry procedures will still include root canal therapy, oral surgery, orthodontics, implants, dentures, cosmetic, and pediatric dentistry. We will continue to strive for clinical excellence while caring for the full dental needs of each patient. You will notice the name change on all of our mailings, packaging, invoices, and promotional materials as of March 1, 2018. It is still the same company, just a new name. All of the staff, insurance, billing, and pricing will not change with the name change. Warmest regards from the team at River Birch Dental, previously Hauge Dental Clinic in Centuria.

First-time student art show a success HARRIET RICE

How to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day Without Drinking BY CALEB ANDERSON RECOVERY HOPE

St. Patrick’s Day comes at a time of the year when most people are ready to have some fun. After getting through most of a long, cold winter—and well after all the exuberance of the holidays is gone—many are looking for a reason to go out with their friends and get loose. For a lot of people, this includes drinking, but celebrating St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t have to be a reason to have a few beers. It can also be a day of family fun or simply spending time with your friends and loved ones. Here are a couple of tips on how to have a happy St. Patrick’s Day without alcohol.

SIREN––Nearly 300 art show goers came to view and appreciate the work of 48 local high school students at the Burnett Area Arts Group’s Outstanding Student Art Show March 9 and 10 in Siren. According to the BAAG members who worked hard to stage the first-ever show of its kind, it was satisfying and rewarding. It was especially so for BAAG co-chair Thom Scott, artist and retired art teacher. “The participation exceeded what I thought it was going to be. This is something I wanted to do and have wanted to make happen even when I was teaching,” said Scott. He said the timing of the show corresponds to “an evolution that’s happening with BAAG. I think we’re growing, and some of this is spawned off our new relationship and partnership with Northwest Passage.” Now that BAAG has it’s

TIM BERNARD

“Jeremy” Makayla MCoy, Luck: “I just really like working with my hands, because then I can feel something and I can make sure the piece I’m working on feels the exact same way. Sci-fI and horror movies really inspire me, especially old horror movies because everything was hand-made.”

Be a designated driver If you have several friends who will be going out to celebrate and you want to join them, go for it! You don’t have to drink to have fun, and being the sober one in the group will give you the chance to make sure everyone gets home safely. Spend time with your family There are probably tons of things you can do with your family on St. Patrick’s Day in your area; look online to see what sort of special events are happening. Often, there are parades downtown or special sales and events at stores, so do a bit of research and make a plan before you go out. One thing that is important to keep in mind is safety. While you may not want to go out and drink, many others will be doing just that. If you want to include your family in the festivities, it’s a good idea to get started earlier in the day. Do some research online to see what kind of events are happening in your area on that day, and which ones are family-friendly. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by HealthyBurnett.org.

opportunity to show and share their work in a public setting. Among the guests was 73rd Assembly District Representative Nick Milroy who circulated through the crowd and spoke briefly before participation certificates were awarded. “Creative thinkers are the future of our economy,” he said. “I’m proud to recognize these wonderful art students, their teachers and families. We need to continue to grow our creative classes and invest in their future – supporting the art in K-12 is essential to accomplishing this,” he added. Scott noted, “The cooperation by the faculty members/art teachers has just been unbelievable; it’s very rewarding working with them. Most of these faculty members haven’t had any exchanges

non-profit status, he said there would be more emphasis on the group’s education mission. The five participating high schools and art teachers were Carrie Petersen, Frederic; Jeremy Tomczak, Grantsburg; Kyle Clemins, Luck; Dawn Schulz, Siren; and Kim Kriegel, Webster. Each teacher picked up to 12 students and their selected works. Every medium was represented: painting, drawing, pottery, ceramics, fiber, sculpture,and mixed media. There was even a piece that incorporated pencil sharpener shavings in a collage. “What I love best about teaching TIM BERNARD

Jazmine Joy Mangelsen, Webster: “A lot of my art is controversial, like about body-shaming, feminism and social issues in the world. This piece has a long name -- it’s a quote. I design tattoos, and I’m actually doing an album cover for a rapper in Minneapolis.”

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

How are those New Year’s resolutions coming? If you’re having trouble sticking to a promise to be more active, we’ve found a training buddy for you. Skye is a happy, housebroken, active female husky/lab mix who is always on the move. A At seven years old and just over 550 pounds, this red and white, g golden-eyed girl is always up for a adventures and fun. Skye hasn’t h had a lot of human leadership in tthe past, but is willing to learn, e exercise, and play with her new ffamily. Clear directions and tasty rrewards will go a long way in tteaching Skye what is expected. S She isn’t a fan of cats, and a bit too e enthusiastic for small children; Skye however, she does well with other dogs. Skye also loves squeaky toys, which usually ends in playing “find the squeaker.” She may seem a bit standoffish at first, but after a little time to become acquainted, you will be rewarded with that bright smile! In return, Skye promises to keep you moving! For a meet and greet with Skye, contact HSBC during public hours to set up an appointment. Let’s talk about the capacity for care in a shelter. In the current shelter, there are 16 kennels for both intake and adoptable dogs. Intake priority centers on animals that are lost or stray and have no place to call home; surrendered pets are accepted if there is room. During busy times, it is not unheard of for two or three dogs to come in within a 24-hour period. Some of the dogs received are healthy or are reunited with an owner promptly and move out of the shelter system quickly. If not reclaimed, they remain in the intake area for seven days before being considered for the adoption floor. Others are injured, ill, or need behavioral work done before they can be adopted. With only seven intake kennels, space quickly becomes a huge challenge. The situation is much, much worse for cats. With only 10 cages between intake and adoption and at times six or more calls per day with requests to take in cats, you can see how space quickly becomes a premium commodity in the current facility. Keeping every cage and kennel full at all times is not a good way to shelter animals. It creates stress in animals and people alike, it stretches limited resources past the breaking point, and overcrowding is not good for either the medical or emotional health of the animals we are supposed to be helping. The Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption and Education Center is the key to being able to change the way community animals and citizens are helped. The shelter goal is to change how animals are accepted, not who is accepted. When the new shelter is completed, it will offer a larger number of housing options as well as enable the introduction of innovative programs to enhance intake capacity management and to allow for the ability to accept more animals in need. No shelter can do it all by themselves no matter how many kennels or cages they have. Working together in a larger facility that can offer more resources to the community is what will make the most amazing changes for the animals of Burnett County. Until then, there are several ways our community can help, such as: fostering an animal while waiting for space to open up at the shelter, creating pet guardian support programs to increase pet retention, finding programs to address some reasons animals are relinquished to shelters, identifying safety nets and resource alternatives to the shelter, and helping pet guardians rehome their pets themselves. Please consider supporting this joint effort by your annual membership, recurring monthly donation or considering HSBC in your estate plans for the future. We’ll be at the Webb Lake St. Patrick’s Day parade – come talk to us and learn more as we walk down this bright, new path together. HSBC information: 7347 Midtown Road, Siren, WI 54872.

Deer Advisory Council seeks public input SIREN—The Burnett County Deer Advisory Council will meet to review data and form preliminary 2018 antlerless quota, permit and season structure recommendations. This meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 21, 7 p.m. at the Burnett County Government Center in Siren. While this is a working meeting of the council, the public is encouraged to attend and will have a formal opportunity to provide insight during the public comment period of the meeting. CDACs are part of an effort to provide more public input on deer management issues and give stakeholders a greater re-

sponsibility in managing local deer numbers. Councils review and discuss previous year’s hunting season results and long-term harvest trends, accept public comments and develop preliminary antlerless quota, permit and season structure recommendations. Recommendations will be sent to the Natural Resources Board for approval in May. Citizens are encouraged to attend their CDACs March meeting and provide comments to the council. Local Department of Natural Resources staff will be on hand to present information and answer any questions. Following the March meetings, an online public comment

period will take place from April 2-12, with a final council meeting being held Monday, April 16, 7 p.m. at Crex Meadows Visitor Center in Grantsburg. The final meeting allows the council to review public feedback before making final recommendations on the antlerless quota, permit and season structure. Those unable to attend their county’s meeting can view meeting minutes on the department’s CDAC website at www. dnr.wi.gov.

Q. What can you do with Home Automation? (Part 2)

Last time we discussed the automation Peter Ward module which allows for many amazing features. Home automation thermostats are a great feature to add to your security system. These devices can be viewed at anytime on your cell phone and show you current temperature inside. This is especially helpful if you own a vacation property so you can monitor temperature anytime. It is allows for you to set a temperature range and to get notifications through your security system app if the temperature in your property goes outside of those ranges. It also allows you to turn your heat up or AC down when on your home or to your vacation property so when you get there your home is already at the ideal temperature. Call us today to learn more about home automation and temperature control devices!!

concerned should you be? First of all, good economic news, such as low unemployment and higher wages, may have actually helped cause the large sell-off in stocks. That’s because a strong economy may lead to inflation and higher interest rates, which are not always good news for stocks. Another factor behind the sell-off: Investors sold stocks to take profits gained from the long bull market – and when many people sell stocks at once, prices can drop fast. Still, we’ve had big, rapid sell-offs in the past, and the market has generally recovered fairly quickly – past performance is not a guarantee of future results but as an investor, you may find that patience is a virtue. Also, the country’s economic profits are rising – and since these two factors often drive stock prices, the prospects may be good for the financial markets. In any case, review your portfolio to make sure it’s still appropriate for your needs. Even short-term price drops shouldn’t change your long-term investment strategy. 441 State Road 70 Grantsburg, WI 54840 Phone 715-463-3606 www.edwardjones.com

with an insurance payment?

It depends on the product and the Gary Nelson insurance company. Most auto insurers demand payment no later than the renewal date. A few companies may give you a little break if you’re a couple of days late. Some home insurers will allow you a few extra days but, again, it depends on the company. If you know you’re going to be a day or two late with a payment it is always best to contact your insurance agent. In some cases the agent can contact the company and the company will note the coming payment on their payment log. Just remember, it is always best to be on time with an insurance payment. It saves you, the agent, and the company a lot of hassles if a claim occurs during a late payment period.

Jury trial scheduled for Grantsburg man

Director sees big success in child development class

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– Keith Christenson, 54, Grantsburg was expected to enter his plea three weeks ago, but instead the case will go to a jury trial this summer. He is charged with one count of exposing genitals, a class I felony, and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor. A plea/sentencing hearing was planned for Feb. 22, but Judge Melissia Mogen did not accept the deal and it will now go ahead with the jury trial which is scheduled to begin in July. The case is being handled by Burnett County Assistant District Attorney, Daniel Steffen. According to the criminal complaint, a Burnett County Social worker was conducting a forensic interview of a female, who was 16 at the time, about Christenson exposing his genitals in front of her in March 2017. The victim said the incident occurred on March 3, and another female was in the house, age 8. The two were dancing in the living room of the residence. At this point the 8-year-old told Christenson to put on some clothes on, as he was allegedly walking around in a button-up shirt and boxers. He did not put more clothes on. The 16-year-old then said that around 5 a.m., Christenson came into the living room and sat in a rocking chair near the 8-year-old. The older girl said that when Christenson got up from the chair, she saw that he was naked. She continued to explain that Christenson was masturbating in the hallway of the residence. Christenson allegedly asked if she “wanted to rub him.” After that the 16-year-old pretended to fall back to sleep. She added that Christenson asked her if she was going to get him into trouble. The probable cause report for the possession of drug paraphernalia charge says that when Christenson was turned over to corrections officers at the Burnett County Jail, they found a glass pipe with a black rubber handle in his shirt pocket. The corrections deputy noted the pipe had a white residue on the inside and was consistent with a pipe used for smoking methamphetamine. A field test was done on the pipe and the residue in the pipe tested positive for methamphetamine. If convicted Christenson faces up to a $10,000 fine and a possible three years and six months imprisoned for the felony charge. He also faces a $500 fine and a possible 30 days imprisoned. The 12-person jury trial is scheduled to begin on July 26 in Burnett County.

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– Beth Rank, 4-H Youth & Family Development Educator, made an appearance at the Natural Resources meeting last week and brought in a fun activity for the board to play along with. “I brought these index cards from people who took Raising a Thinking Child in Siren,” Rank said. “I’ll pass these around and please take one. I’m hoping for interaction from the committee.” Committee members passed the bundles around and Rank said that a few of the cards had stickers on them and wanted those cards to be read aloud. Committee Member and County Supervisor Larry Main had one of those cards. He said it read like it was written by a teacher. “The program has impacted my home and work life,” Main read. “I’m yelling less and communicating more. This has helped me understand what kids are thinking.” Rank said the course had a few different teachers in the course, but the cards were written anonymously. She said that of the 11 families that took the course 10 finished it. “That’s a 91 percent retention rate. Which is incredible for this course,” Rank said. “Usually you get parents that become busy as the course progresses or parents say ‘this isn’t what I thought it was going to be’ and stop coming to class.” Rank explained a large part of the course is being more direct with children, not just saying no and the idea of telling kids versus suggesting things. “An example is, ‘I can’t play with you right now, I’m making dinner, but maybe you can find something else to do.’” Rank said. “This way the child gets an explanation and not just, no.

Seasonal Weight Limitations now in effect SIREN—Burnett County Highway Commissioner, Michael Hoefs, has advised that seasonal weight limitations will be placed on select county roads this week. Pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes §349.16, seasonal weight limitations on select County Trunk Highways (CTH) in Burnett County will become effective at 12:01 a.m. on March 12, 2018. Adjustment to the proposed effective date may be considered contingent upon weather conditions. As permitted by §349.16, Burnett County hereby limits each axle configuration to no more than four and one-half (4.5) tons during the seasonal weight limitation period on all CTHs in Burnett County with the following exceptions: CTH A, CTH B, CTH D from CTH M to STH 35, CTH G, CTH H from STH 77 to STH 35, CTH H from CTH G to the Barron County line, CTH K, and CTH M from CTH D to STH 70. Vehicles actively performing highway maintenance, school buses, and vehicles hauling bulk milk products are exempt from seasonal weight limitations on Burnett County Trunk Highways. See §349.16 for other special exemptions.

“I referenced the possibility of bringing the Mindfulness Enhanced Strengthening Families Program (MSFP) to Burnett County but at this point that is a hope and I’m not sure if that will come to fruition,” Rank said. She added a large hold-up in starting these programs is locating instructors to facilitate the classes. Another program Rank would like to bring to Burnett County is Home Alone. “It’s not the Macaulay Culkin movie. It’s a program that teaches parents about leaving their children at home and developing plans for them,” Rank said. “It was last offered by Marilyn Kooiker in 2000.” Rank hopes to coordinate the program very soon and possibly as early as May. 4-H Cultural Arts Festival April 22 is when the 4-H Cultural Arts Festival is scheduled. It will go from Noon to 4 p.m. at the Siren School Auditorium. “Burnett County 4-H is unique because we’re not agriculture focused anymore,” Rank said of the club’s transition into the arts. “We’re shifting towards more arts and communications programs. Still based in Ag, but we have lots of focus on the arts and crafts.” As head of the Burnett County 4-H, Rank said they have 81 students enrolled. She added that if 19 more children sign up there will be a reward for club members involving food and possibly cupcakes. “All the kids keep telling me, ‘when we get to 100 then you’ll make us a bunch of food’,” Rank said. “No that’s not how it works. We’ll have a bunch of food and a celebration, but I’m not making it. We are going to make it, together.” Committee Member and County Supervisor Gene Olson gave a lot of support for Rank and the 4-H Club. “I would like to compliment you on your diversity at 4-H,” Olson said. “We should add another clover for diversity and find a word for it that begins with H.”

Courses for parents with older kids In the future Rank hopes the county can offer courses for older kids. Those courses will deal with topics like the teenage years and knowing when you can leave your child home alone. Rank referenced two programs the UW-Extension supports statewide. The first is called Strengthening Families for children 10-14 years old. She hopes that program will be in Burnett County by 2019.

Warriors stop Tigers’ trek to State fouling, trying to get possession. The remaining eight points that Clear Lake made were on free throws. T. Gustafson, Washburn and Carsen Stenberg scored the remaining Tiger points to make it a 54-42 final. “We wish them the best of luck Saturday,” said Coach Scherrer. “It’s tough to say good bye to our seniors. All the kids feel pretty hurt right now, but when they wake up in the morning, they’ll still have that Conference Championship (and Regional Championship) with them.” “We’ve come pretty far in one year and hopefully that will inspire us to get back to work. Hopefully we’ll be back next year and you never know, it could be the same matchup next year. You never know when playoff time comes. When the playoffs come, it’s a whole new experience.” The Tigers finish their season with a 10-2 conference record (tied for the West Lakeland Conference championship) and an overall mark of 22-3.

AMERY—“It’s always hard to find the words to say after you’ve had such a good year,” reflected Tiger coach Rob Scherrer following the 54-42 loss by the Tigers to the Clear Lake Warriors last Thursday night during the Sectional semi-final game. “And we had a fantastic year. To play in front of a crowd like this, it’s a special thing, too.” Clear Lake’s defense was tight, but the Tigers got the first bucket of the game on a three-point shot by Hunter Rosenbaum. The Warriors got a three-point shot and then a field goal to go up 5-3, but Trevor Gustafson hit a three-pointer to put the Tigers back on top at 6-5. Clear Lake went on a 12-6 run when the Tigers called time at the 7:12 mark, trailing 17-12. Hunter Gustafson, Jack Washburn and Trevor Gustafson each had a field goal in that time span. After the time out, the Tigers got two quick buckets by Rosenbaum and Coleton Peterson to narrow the

Spring Fever As I sit down to write this week’s column I am surrounded by windows that give me a glimpse into what is to come. Water dripping steadily along the eaves as my home’s shingles absorb the heat of the midday sun and the snow blanketed roof slowly gives way. A faux rainstorm on this cloudless day. Grass, gravel and stubborn ice-infused snowpack now line the shoulders of the county road running in front of my house. The sidewalk from my driveway to my front door now visible after the double whammy of recent snow storms. I cannot be the only one who decided not to bother shoveling their unused winter walkway. In our climate we don’t own just one winter coat, we own six. Several factors help dictate which we wear; temperature, precipitation, occasion and likelihood of going in the ditch all factor in. But because of this, it is one of the best feelings to go outside, even just to go to the mailbox or grab the garbage can from the curb, in jeans, tennis shoes and a sweatshirt. It’s those times that I find myself meandering just a little, soaking in just a little more sun, or warmth. Checking the propane tank. Sweeping out the garage. Or maybe even shoveling the snowy sides of the neglected sidewalk. This time of the year, one of the most exciting times of the year, I cannot help but think about chalked base paths, open fairways, and driveway basketball. This is our reward for enduring the incredible cold snaps and big snowfalls this winter has brought. And the reward, as always, is amazing. It won’t be long until the spring training games in Fort Myers, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona give way to Opening Day and hopefully lots of wins for the Twins and the Brewers this season. My buddy Tim Rand, the most avid Twins fan I know, always updates his Facebook status after a Twins win with simply, “It’s a beautiful dayyyyyyyyy!”. Whenever I read that I smile and start humming the U2 song. Spring fever is real. I know I’m afflicted. How do I know this? I feel like going out for a jog (highly abnormal for me). I feel like cleaning everything, especially outside. I’m eating lighter and feeling more energetic. Even now I’m staring out at my dilapidated lean-to and cannot wait to get out there and fix it up… maybe turn it into a greenhouse or an outdoor kitchen, but more likely just give it a new roof. High school basketball, wrestling, hockey and gymnastics have been replaced by track, baseball and softball. Soon the golf courses will set their flags and tee boxes. Sounds of lawn mowers all around the county will replace the scrape of snow plows. While the crystalized branches after a winter storm make for some of the most breathtaking scenes ever witnessed this side of Heaven, the beauty of green leaves and wild flowers are a not-toodistant second place. Of course, spring brings with it one of the most important of all things: hope. Farmers seed their fields hopeful of a bountiful harvest, gardeners strategize their plot in hopes of amazing production, and baseball fans whisper their optimism for the upcoming season and hope of playing games into October. And we are fortunate to celebrate Easter in the springtime, which for many of us is the most important “hope” of all. So, here’s to spring fever, the most contagious of all fevers. Here’s to freshly churned black dirt, longer days and to “Play ball!”. Here’s to hope and to quiet, sincere expectation. And here’s to heading down the highway, windows down, and the music loud.

Xcel Gymnastics brings home Runner-up State trophy The Division 4 East state meet was hosted by PEG Gymnastics in Lacrosse, WI on Sunday March 11,2018. Eight teams qualified into the meet by averaging the top three team scores from the entire season. They were Blue Angels of Galesville, Kidsport Gymnastics of Winona, Northfield Gymnastics of Northfield, OGC of Owatonna, Performance Elite Gymnastics of Lacrosse, Wolf Den Gymnastics of Cottage Grove, Woodbury Royals of Woodbury, and Xcel Gymnastics of Grantsburg. Xcel coaches Jessee Riewestahl and Lara Lerud knew that this team had the ability to cause a major upset with these other, big name, teams. It would take their best performance of the season— and this is exactly what they did. Xcel started competition on beam. Morgan Macho, a first year competitor for Xcel, set the tone of the meet with a solid routine. She was the first of six stuck beam routines. Abby Kryzer, Anita Finch, Ariel Schneider, Gracie Larson, and Eden Burkman all stayed on the beam following her performance. Gracie Larson had the team high with an 8.3

Dylan Andersen, team captain, had a dominating performance scoring a 9.225— good enough for first place. Vault gave us no problems. Anita Finch had a very nice Yurchenko ½ twist vault, Dylan showed a great FHS full and Abby Kryzer soared with her ½ on ½ off. To finish up the meet, all we had left was bars. The girls didn’t show any signs

of slowing down now. Personal best scores came from Morgan and Dylan as well as a team personal best with a 31.075. Dylan’s 8.275 was good enough for another first place finish. Dylan Andersen also won the All-Around competition, tying her personal best with a 34.2. Abby Kryzer proved to be a dominant force in the Child age division, placing fourth. Eden Burkman, the youngest member of the Xcel team (7) and first year competitor, also showed she was a competitor to be recognized, placing third in the Novice age division. The team held hands

as their highest ever team score, a 130.975, was announced for the second place finish. Coach, Jessee Riewestahl, was also awarded the Coach of the Year plaque. The girls’ individual performances are ranked against all of the competing teams in each division. After all teams have finished competing their division, the top 12 all around gymnasts and next 12 on each event will compete at the Individual State Meet held in New Prague, MN on March 24.

We have been receiving some items for our Silent Auction on April 28th. If you would care to donate anything, bring items in to the center and put my name on them. I will see that they get to the right person. Barb Munger is moving from our area. She is going to move to White Bear Lake to be closer to her children. Barb is a charter member of our Senior Center. One of Barb’s sons made our book shelves. This was certainly a nice donation to the center. We want to wish Barb the best of luck in her new apartment. Be sure to keep in touch! Diane Norman and Nona Severson did the decorating. The red roses were replaced with green Irish hats and shamrocks. The tables look nice with the green table cloths. Mick Miller was the winner of the dollar bingo; I believe he got $13.00. Nice to get paid when you are having so much fun. Our 500 winners were Marlyce Borchert, Dave Peterson, Pat Bresina, Marvin Olson and Jim Anderson. The 9 bid went to Susie Hughes. Spade winners were Darwin Niles, Tom Christensen, Susie Hughes, Phyllis Peterson and Tony Rutter. Tim McNitt got the 9 bid. Did you take in the St. Patrick’s fun at Siren?

The World Cheese Championship happens every other year in Madison. This year, over 3,402 entries from 26 countries and 32 U.S. states hoped to take home the grand prize. Fifty-five judges from 20 countries tasted every cheese to determine the top three winners in Wild Chow 121 categories. Sixty-six thouLisa Erickson sand pounds of cheese was shipped to Madison for the competition. Wisconsin cheese makers dominated the final rounds, with five cheeses making it to the final 20, but they were unable to repeat a World Championship. For the last 28 years the competition has been dominated by European cheese makers, but this is the first time a cheese from France has won. The cheese, Esquirrou, from the Pyrenees region, is a sheep’s milk cheese making the win even more unique. The 2016 competition

rocked the cheese world when Emmi-Roth from Monroe, Wisconsin, took home the grand prize for its Grand Cru-Surchoix. The last time an American cheese maker won was in 1988. This year was full of surprises too, but for different reasons. According to a couple judges I spoke with, an unusual amount of “hot” spicy cheese or spreads won awards. Also, goat and sheep’s milk cheeses made it into the final rounds. The judging was a surreal experience with camera and news crews covering the event. Cheese is making a big comeback. Experts predict we will see more and more recipes with cheese and chefs highlighting cheese on menus across the world. The winning French cheese would taste lovely shaved in a salad or with fresh fruit. The flavor has nutty and toasted wheat undertones with sweeter undertones. The combination of fresh and earthiness of lettuces pairs well with cheese bringing out the flavor of each. Together the two make eating a salad a magical experience.

Sheep Cheese and Arugula Salad Serves 4 4 cups arugula 1 tart apple, like Granny Smith, cored and sliced thin ½ cup toasted pecans 4-6 oz. aged sheep’s cheese, (like award-winning Esquirrou from France or Anabasque from Landmark Creamery in Wisconsin), freshly grated ¼ red onion, sliced thin Simple Dressing ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar 1 fresh lemon, juiced (about 3-4 Tbsp.) 1 Tbsp. maple syrup Salt and pepper to taste ¼ cup virgin olive oil Salad dressing: mix all ingredients in a jar with a lid. Shake until combined. Set aside. On 4 plates assemble salads. Divide arugula, pecans, apple, onion, and cheese between plates. Drizzle dressing over the top and serve immediately.

A trip down Memory Lane Every other Wednesday at the church I serve, we offer a program for our youth called KFC. The program has nothing to do with Colonel Sanders or fried chicken, but rather KFC is short for Kids for Christ. KFC is an after school program that involves an activity centered on discovering Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love, followed by a meal. During our last KFC, we had a local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book author come in and share her books with the kids. The interaction between the author Pastor Bill Schroeder and the kids was great and the meal that A&H Lakeside Lutheran Church followed was delicious. Following the meal there was still time before parents would arrive to pick up their children, and the group asked if they could go play on the huge snowbanks surrounding the church

parking lot. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be careful,â&#x20AC;? I just told them to have fun. A few minutes later, I looked out the window of the fellowship hall. A huge smile came across my face as I watched the entire group of kids having a blast playing on the mountain of snow. I could hear the laughter from inside the building and I gave thanks to God for the good memories that were being created. Suddenly another thought crossed my mind and it brought fear to my soul and tears to my eyes. What would I do if a vehicle pulled into the parking lot and someone got out wielding a gun? I asked myself if it was safe for our church kids to be playing outside. Most

of the kids present had been involved in a school lockdown just a few days prior due to a threat of violence. How is it possible that we have found ourselves at this place in our society? My mind raced back to my childhood days and all the fun we had with our church group. I am sure my pastor worried about us back then, but when he looked out the window at us playing in the church yard I guarantee â&#x20AC;&#x153;active shooterâ&#x20AC;? didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter into his thoughts. Please God, direct us and guide us to make this nation a safe place for our kids to go to school and play outside without fear. Make us a kinder and gentler nation where love rules the day and hate for others is not accepted.

Northwest Passage to host Master Naturalist Volunteer Training WEBSTER—Northwest Passage will offer the Wisconsin Master Naturalist Volunteer Training Course this spring. The course will focus on nature as a therapeutic tool for youth and will be an asset for the community. The subject areas included in the Master Naturalist training include geology, ecology, plant communities, wildlife, interpretation, water, and human impacts. The course will provide participants with a foundation in these subject areas. Unique to Northwest Passage’s course, lessons and workshops will include best practices and methods for working with youth with mental health and behavioral challenges. A Master Naturalist instruction manual will be provided and used as a guiding resource for the course. Guest speakers will include regional scientists, professors, and natural history experts as well as members of Northwest Passage’s Clinical Team and Educational Staff. This specific course will appeal to enthusiastic educators with a passion not only for the nature of Wisconsin, but also with a desire to engage marginalized youth in the outdoors. Project lead, Ian Karl says that “this is a great opportunity for anyone looking to improve their knowledge of our regional landscape and ecology or work with youth in their communities.” He goes on to say he hopes to see a wide

array of community members. “We welcome anyone from educators and professionals in the field of mental health to anyone with a passion for connecting people with Wisconsin’s rich landscape.” When asked why Northwest Passage, a non-profit residential mental health program for youth, would invest in an opportunity like this in the community he smiled. “We know, and research

supports, that spending time in nature is a key part of maintaining mental health. We want to help equip as many people as possible with the tools they need to be the connection for others to the woods, wildlife, and water in our little corner of the world. If one kid finds a mentor in a Master Naturalist Volunteer, than it’s worth it.” The Wisconsin Master Naturalist Program is a network of well-informed

citizens dedicated to conservation education and service within Wisconsin communities. The Master Naturalist Volunteer Training Course provides 40 hours of coursework in natural history, interpretation, and conservation stewardship. Courses combine classroom instruction with field experiences and are taught by professional natural resources educators and scientists. Once trained, Wisconsin Master Naturalist Volunteers provide 40 hours of service, preferably with Northwest Passage at its prairie restoration site, and take 8 hours of advanced training each year to maintain their certification and receive a recognition pin. The course fee is $250 and includes all class materials and a one-year membership with the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin. Scholarships are available on a needs basis. If you’re interested in learning more about the scholarship, you can reach out to our development director, Chanda Elliott to apply. The courses will be held at Northwest Passage’s In a New Light Gallery and through a series of field trips. The gallery is located at: 7417 N Bass Lake Rd, Webster. The course will run every other weekend beginning on April 7, 2018 and will end on May 20, 2018. For more information about Northwest Passage call 715-327-4402 or visit us at nwpltd.org.
