Pirate Nation to storm STEM camp LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—Sixth-grader Amaya Henderson of Grantsburg learned she was nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum’s(NYLF) Explore STEM experience when she received a letter in the mail from Washington, DC in February of this year. Nominated by Grantsburg Middle School teacher Kim Hallberg, Amaya was selected based on her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Since receiving her notification Amaya, 12, has been steadily working at raising money toward tuition. Part of this fundraising venture was the design and marketing of window decals that provides Amaya an opportunity to share how she feels about her school. Future paleontologist The eldest daughter of Cassie and D.J. Henderson of Grantsburg, Amaya presents as a shy,

says Cassie. “I am truly her biggest fan.” Academically gifted, Amaya loves to learn, has an astounding memory, and has high

scores on both report cards and MAPS test scores. She hopes to be a paleontologist, a dream rooted in her deep and long-lasting love of dinosaurs.

Will Burnett County see spring this year? The frost depth numbers indicate it may be awhile before it arrives. According to the County Highway Department, the average frost depth in Burnett County last December was 36 inches. In January, it was 60 inches and in February 69 inches. Last month across the county the average frost depth was 71.8 inches. That is the highest average frost depth across the region including Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Douglas, Polk, Rusk, Sawyer, St. Croix, Taylor,

Trempealeau and Washburn counties. Since December Burnett County has had the highest average of frost in every month except February in this region of the state. Also nine of those counties reported a thaw in the average frost depth, but not Burnett County. Burnett County Highway Commissioner Michael Hoefs said at the Infrastructure committee meeting in February that the frost depth was 70 inches at its deepest. Hoefs said that winter has produced the most amount of frost in the county since March 2014 when it went down 90.75 inches.

BURNETT COUNTY—Voters went to the polls during an April snowstorm Tuesday to cast their ballots for the spring election. There were local races along with statewide races on the ballot. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Rebecca Dallet has been elected to serve a ten-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Dallet defeated Sauk County Circuit Judge Michael Screnock overwhelmingly across the state. Wisconsin voters also voted to keep the position of State Treasurer despite the current Treasurer calling for eliminating the position. In Grantsburg, voters have elected incumbents Greg Peer and Caylin Muehlberg along with challenger Michael Long-

Amaya also works hard in areas that don’t come as easy. This year, she went out for cross country, trying something that didn’t come naturally to her. She loved her season as a Grantsburg Pirate runner and did well; placing in the top five runners for Grantsburg Middle School most of her meets. Amaya shared that she also plays clarinet in the middle school band, has two younger sisters and a dog named Eve. To understand how extraordinary Amaya and this opportunity are, it is crucial to know a little about her history. Amaya has Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of high functioning Autism. This presented her with challenges such as struggling with fine motor skills and having an aversion to anything with texture. Her parents enrolled her in Grantsburg’s Special Education program at the age of two and a half, at a time when Amaya still didn’t speak. Through the

STEM camp The Explore STEM program is sponsored by Envision and aims to develop critical thinkers, increase technical literacy, and enable the next generation of innovators. Envision also coaches students in charting their pathways to future success through discussions on high school courses and university selection. This year’s theme is a Mission to Mars, where participants will create solutions and overcome challenges associated with colonizing Mars. Subjects include engineering and robotics, medicine and healthcare, civil engineering, and forensic science. Of the 10 locations offered, Amaya will be attending Explore STEM at Loyola University in Chicago and will be there for five days in mid- July. It’s also a bit of a birthday present, as she turns 13 just before going to camp. LINDA LUHMAN | SENTINEL

Fundraising Amaya is working toward collecting $3,000.00 for tuition costs. She began at the end of February by drafting and mailing out solicitation letters to area industries who are heavily involved in STEM topics. To date, she has received donations from Tinere, Inc. and McNally Industries. In the letter, Amaya summarizes the reason to support STEM programs. “STEM education is essential to maintaining our position as a world leader by creating critical thinkers, increasing technical literacy, and enabling the next generation of innovators.” Pirate Nation The idea for her Pirate Nation decals came about at a family dinner. Her uncle, Aaron Bentley, offered his services and vinyl cutting program, and the family thought decals would be a fantastic way to raise funds and show support for the Grantsburg School District. “The Grantsburg School District has played a vital role in Amaya’s success as a student, and I think that is why it is so important to represent how much (they)

and the Pirates mean to Amaya,” Cassie said. With that in mind, Amaya designed the decals with Cassie’s help. She chose an outline of the state of Wisconsin with Grantsburg’s location marked as a heart and the words “Pirate Nation” in tribute to her school. The decals come in both the school colors: white and purple. Although the decals have only been available for a couple weeks, Amaya has had approximately 63 orders from Facebook. She anticipates more when school resumes in April. Pirate Nation decals are five inches square and $5.00 per decal. They are available at the Grantsburg Community Bank or by sending a request to Cassie Amundson Henderson’s Facebook inbox. All proceeds go towards Amaya’s tuition.

In the Siren Village Trustee race, incumbents David Doty Sr. and Rudy Mothes both won their re-election bids and challenger Jim Pearson defeated incumbent Marvin Halverson. Siren’s School Board will have two new faces with challengers Christopher Engstrom and Tiffany Meyer winning seats and incumbent Susie Imme was successful in her re-election bid on the board as well. Christine Erickson and Renae Rombach were both elected to serve on Grantsburg’s School Board. They ran unopposed. In Webster, School Board members Melanie Johnson, Wendy Larson and Brenda Rachner, ran unopposed and held on to their seats. Webster Village Trustees Sarah Casady, Kelsey Gustafson and Greg Widiker, were also running unopposed and will continue to serve on the board. There were two races in question on the County Board of Supervisors. Incumbent County Supervisor Larry Main of District 21 was defeated by Steve Austin. Main collected 98 votes compared to 168 for Austin. District 8 is the other seat in question, County Supervisor

Charles Awe announced he was not seeking re-election and no other candidate filed paperwork to get on the ballot. However, Ed Fisher announced he was running as a write-in candidate and received 14 votes, there were 15 other write-in votes. It is unclear who the County Supervisor District 8 will be, but it should be more clear after the official canvass on Monday.

for Michael Scernock across the county. “This campaign was never about me or my desire to be a Supreme Court Justice,” Scernock said in a statement Tuesday night. “It was about serving the people of Wisconsin by upholding the rule of law and respecting the Constitution and the separation of powers.” Dallet made her statement on Facebook. “This team has worked day in and day out to share our vision for a Supreme Court that represents our values and that protects every Wisconsinite equally under the law,” Dallet said. “Tonight, I’m so proud to say that our hard work has paid off: it will be my immense pleasure to serve the state of Wisconsin as a justice on our Supreme Court.” Dallet will be replacing Michael Gabelman, a lawyer from Waukesha, who served one term on the state Supreme Court. His term ends on July 31. The referendum to eliminate the Wisconsin Treasurer position did not pass statewide and it did not pass in Burnett County. There were 838 votes to eliminate the position and 1,481 votes to keep the position. There will be extended coverage online at burnettcountysentinel. com.

Hoefs confirmed that currently in the county the frost is as deep as 75 inches in two different locations. One is south of Grantsburg at the intersection of Highway 87 and County Road O and the other is north of Danbury at the intersection of Highway 35 and County Road H. “This is something that we try and get out and measure every week or sometimes twice a week,” Hoefs said. He explained that frost measurements are taken by thousands of frost tubes that go into the roads all over the state. There is a large PVC pipe that goes deep into the ground and then a smaller clear pipe goes inside of that. The smaller pipe is full of water and when it freezes that’s how they know depth of the frost. “The issue with the roads is, the frost begins to thaw at the top,” Hoefs said. “So immediately below the road surface it becomes unstable and possibly unsafe.” When the frost thaws it turns the gravel under the road into mud and can make the roads unstable. Then it may snow and that gravel mud freezes or gets wet and can have lasting damage to the roadways. Hoefs said that a lot of problems come when water mains break, which is why most lines are buried eight-feet deep. “We did have two water mains break this season, but they weren’t affected by the frost,” said Grantsburg Director of Public Works Chris Bartlett. “Those were buried at twelve and eight and a half feet, so they wouldn’t have been affected by 70 inches of frost.” The standard depth for this area is eight feet for burying major water main lines. Hoefs said that it is usually deep enough. “Eight feet is the standard, but even at 70 (inches) there’s only a few feet before it may freeze major water lines,” Hoefs said. “It’s getting too close for comfort.” With the frost at 75 inches that only leaves 21 inches between the frost and the vast majority of water mains in the area. Bartlett added that his department has not run into any major issues with the frost and continuation of winter. “We’re dealing with it,” Bartlett said. “We’re doing OK on our schedule for this year.” Hoefs said if the snow continues to fall and the temperatures don’t rise the frost won’t be leaving the ground anytime soon.

Preparing for the worst Active shooting training session held in Grantsburg JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Last week when Grantsburg High School students were on spring break, local law enforcement professionals took part in an active shooter training session. 11 participants from local law enforcement agencies participated in the training from Grantsburg, Siren, Webster, Luck and Balsam Lake. There were also game wardens from Grantsburg, Webster and Frederic at the school for training. The session was run by Dave Sohm of Grantsburg and Mission Critical Concepts who do several of these sessions a year. “This was an introductory course for officers to refresh topics, update any new information and to present tactics and techniques for facility entry, searching, conducting room, hallway and stairway tactics,” Sohm said. “We introduced several new tactics that make it safer for the officers, yet allows them maximum advantage in a tactical situation.” Grantsburg Chief of Police Jeff Schinzing said SEE SHOOTER TRAINING, PAGE 6

APRIL 4, 2018

Split the difference – a call for spring resolutions Avid readers of this sliver of the paper know I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. It’s a ploy by corporations to get us to buy fancy exercise equipment or a multi-faceted juicer. I suggest we bump it back a few months and call them spring resolutions. It will not be marked by a specific date, but allows everyone to choose when (if they would like to participate at all) they would like to begin these new resolutions. Anyone in cold climates should begin their spring resolutions as soon as the snow is gone. I mean completely gone. If there is that dirty brown snow/slush in the yard, there is no need to start your Sentinel spring resolutions quite yet. Last week, my physical therapist Editor accurately pointed out that I have Jonathan Richie probably been spending too much time sitting around and not being active. Which is very true. The difference between her telling me this now and when she proposed it in January is I’m not anticipating another week of -20 degrees forecasts in the near future. Spring time is when the birds and the sun’s heat come back. It is so much easier to go for a casual stroll in 40 degree weather with shorts and a sweatshirt on then a few months ago when I was wearing three layers below the belt and four above it. Also this time a year is when fresh fruit becomes available. A fresh peach will always outdo the canned peach. I would even go so far as to say the peach is one of my top three foods that begin with the letter P (pizza and pancakes are the other two, no particular order.) Right there, that’s the two most common “New Year’s Resolutions” - eat healthier and get more exercise. It’s a solid point I’m making, people. Just because we put up a new calendar doesn’t mean we need to go crazy and make our lives better right then and there. That’s a lot of pressure we put on ourselves. Let us all strive to come up with legitimately attainable spring resolutions. I’ll be honest once I’ve got my spring cleaning done, I usually have a lot of energy. I will also point out that there is a lot going on in our lives around new years. I can only speak for myself, but as soon as the calendar turns I am all about getting my taxes done. As I’m writing this, in April, I know that today it is supposed to snow and yesterday it snowed. I spent the weekend in Milwaukee and when I was gone it snowed. So we might have to turn these into summer resolutions and as a lazy guy, I may not get to them until the leaves change colors in the fall. But I’m OK with that. Lastly, on my drive back to Siren from Milwaukee there was no snow until I got to the Hixton/Alma Center exit on 94.

Time to focus The problem of technology created distracted driving appears to be growing at an alarming rate. Accidents resulting in injury or death can happen in a matter of seconds under the best conditions with an attentive driver. Placing a device that can connect its user to the internet or connect with any number of diversions is a recipe for disaster. The American Automobile Association (AAA) has released its annual traffic culture index survey that shows public awareness is growing about the dangers associated to cellular phone usage by drivers but drivers are continuing to use the technology while behind the wheel. From the In fact, distracted driving now tops Publisher’s the list of risky behaviors that drivers Desk are engaged in with 88 percent of respondents telling survey takers Tom Stangl that they believe distracted driving is i growing. Distracted driving now beats aggressive driving (68%), driving while using drugs (55%) and even drunk driving (43%) as the most dangerous activity in the eyes of drivers. That’s saying something. But is the genie out of the bottle forever? According to the survey, the number of drivers who report using a cellphone behind the wheel jumped 30 percent since 2013. Nearly half (49 percent) of drivers report recently talking on a hand-held phone while driving and nearly 35 percent have sent a text or email. Despite their behavior, nearly 58 percent of drivers say talking on a cellphone behind the wheel is a very serious threat to their personal safety, while 78 percent believe that texting is a significant danger. A recent study from the AAA Foundation shows drivers talking on a cellphone are up to four times as likely to crash while those who text are up to eight times as

likely to be involved in a crash. The recognition of distracted driving as a problem is a landmark. Half of the respondents to the survey reporting that they regularly see drivers emailing or texting while driving. But federal statistics show a drop in distracted driving crashes. So what’s really going on? Officials at AAA believe it is difficult to detect distraction following a crash, making distracted driving one of the most underreported traffic safety issues. An AAA study of teen drivers using in-vehicle dashcams determined that distraction was a factor in 58 percent of crashes. The government estimates that distraction plays a role in just 14 percent of accidents. Cellular phones, particularly “smart” phones that are basically mini computers, are very hard to ignore. Go to nearly any social gathering and you will see people with their heads down, looking at their phones. One person has called smartphones “adult pacifiers” because of their ability to keep people occupied. They were made to entertain, causing some to find being without them for even a few moments too hard to bear. Technology may be able to help this problem, if we are smart enough to allow it to do so. Many smartphone manufacturers have installed software which can detect if the phone is in a car, automatically turning off all notifications, emails and text messages. Allowing this use is necessary, but what about people who can’t afford new cars and new phones? Good old fashioned restraint is the only sure fire remedy. Turning phones off or silencing and hiding them in the vehicle will work just fine. But do we have the strength to turn them off? As always, I welcome your comments.

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

Legislators ponder next steps on bills that failed to pass this session WISPOLITICS.COM

GOP state Rep. John Spiros has tried in back-to-back sessions to push legislation that would crack down on sanctuary cities. After it didn’t get a committee vote in his house and never made it in the Senate, he’s not sure he’s going to try a third time. “It’s like anything else at the end of session,” Spiros said. “I don’t resurrect every time. I want to see what the need is.” AB 190/SB 275 is just one of dozens of high-profile bills that made a stir in the Capitol this session but did not make the final cut. Some were undone by inter-house squabbles, such as a parole revocation bill the Assembly amended to add funding for district attorneys and a new prison; the Senate refused to take up the changes. Others never made it off the ground, such as a ban on the sale of fetal tissue that Republicans have been trying to find a compromise on for several years to no avail. Spiros’ first crack at the sanctuary cities bill would have made sure local governments allow law enforcement to ask people about their immigration status once they’ve been charged with a crime. “Sanctuary cities” prohibit such questions. His bill cleared the Assembly, but never made it to the Senate floor. It also was part of the reason an esti-

mated 20,000 people protested at the Capitol for “A Day without Latinos and Immigrants” in February 2016. This version would have banned local governments from protecting those who are living in the country illegally by passing local ordinances obstructing enforcement of federal immigration laws, as well as require local municipalities and counties to comply with detainers issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It also included penalties for those communities that did not comply. Spiros, R-Marshfield, said he was trying to work with sheriffs on changes they wanted. “I didn’t push it, because I knew there was work that needed to be done,” he said. Another bill that failed to pass this two-year session was dubbed the “dark stores” legislation, SB 291/ AB 387 and SB 292/AB 386. Republicans struggled with the issue of so-called dark stores and ran into heavy opposition from Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce. Republicans introduced two bills aimed at stopping the use of closed or vacant properties being valued the same as occupied retail properties. WMC argued the push amounted to a tax hike on businesses, which they said have had their assessments inflated by local officials. Senate Majority Leader Scott

Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said he’s looking at creating a commission on the issue. Angela Roidt, a spokeswoman for Senate President Roger Roth, said the Appleton Republican is working to put the committee together with members from both houses. “The goal right now is to get a little more educated and more in-depth on the issue so moving forward, everyone is a little more comfortable for next session,” she said. Dems knocked Republicans for not taking up the legislation this session considering the bipartisan support; one of the bills had 66 Assembly co-sponsors, including 34 Republicans. “This is a green light for a growing number of retailers – large and small – to contest their assessments,” Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh, said. “Continued inaction results in lost revenue that will increasingly be made up by increased property taxes on residential homeowners and small businesses.” The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

Don’t let the cold spring weather get you down, warm up with spring soup Winter has decided to go out more like the persistent buzzing of a pesky fly than like a roaring lion or a gentle lamb. I am ready for spring. I’ve had enough of snow, piles of winter boots by the front door and chipping away at the ice on our driveway. I’m cooking “spring-like” even if spring refuses to come. Soup in the spring is lovely. Most people are not quite ready for cold salad dinners and it’s not ideal grilling weather either, but we still want foods that warm us up. Fresh spring soups like asparagus or English pea soup are a perfect combination of bringing spring vegetables and warming entrees Wild Chow together. They come together quickly and Lisa Erickson are not heavy. They pair well with salads and other entrees if you need something a little more filling. If it does warm up, this soup can be served cold or at room temperature. Happy extended winter - I mean spring! Spring Green Pea Soup with Shaved Manchego or Parmesan Cheese Adapted from Michael Chiarello, Food Network Serves 4 1 ½ cups leeks, white and pale green parts only 1 clove garlic, crushed ¾ cup celery, chopped 2 Tbsp. avocado oil 5 ½ cups low sodium chicken stock 4 ½ cups fresh (not frozen) English peas ½ cup heavy cream 1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped 3 Tbsp. parsley, chopped Salt and pepper to taste

In a large saucepan, heat the avocado oil over moderate heat; add the leeks and celery. Stir often while cooking until the vegetables soften, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn or brown the garlic. Add 4 cups chicken stock to the sauteed vegetables and bring to a simmer. Add the cream to the vegetable mixture and continue to simmer, adding the peas. Adjust the heat to maintain a slow simmer and cook until the peas are just tender, only about 8 minutes. Add the parsley and thyme and simmer for 1 minute longer, then remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer in batches to a blender and puree, adding more chicken stock if necessary to thin the soup to a desired consistency. Soup can be served either warm or cold. If serving warm, heat the additional stock before adding it to the blender. Serve soup with optional garnishes.

SHOOTER TRAINING: “just scratched the surface”

that the training focused on the first moments of an active shooter situation when local police departments are the first on the scene. “Local police get the call first and are usually first to arrive,” Schinzing said. “Our job is to get there and stop the threat as fast as possible.” Sohm said he received an overwhelming response from the law enforcement officers at the session. “Excellent feedback, wanting more, we just scratched the surface, these are very perishable skills that must be reinforced constantly,” Sohm said. He added that this could easily be a week-long course, but few agencies have the kind of time and money to put into it. “Excellent guys, great attitudes, a desire to learn and a huge desire to get it right because it could be their lives and others’ lives,” Sohm said. “They soaked up the training and did very well, just not enough time.” Schinzing said one of the things he learned from the training is the idea of being a single officer going into the school and how that is different than being with a group. “When it’s one person, your focus is on your front,” Schinzing said. “You’re usually not thinking about your back or if someone may be coming on your side from another hallway.” Schinzing added in a small community, “it’s good for all of us to work together as law enforcement to know what could happen. We’re planning for the worst to happen and hoping we never have to use the training.” Sohm and Schinzing are planning a larger session this summer when the school is empty. The session may have simulated gunfire and scenarios involving role players. Sohm added the lights and noises will be added to heighten the stress of the situation. Schinzing said this larger session could include the Sheriff’s Department, St. Croix Tribal PD, ambulance services and the Fire Department. “Its a group effort when dealing with an active shooter,” Schinzing said. “The idea is to secure the scene and keep people safe, with this training everyone has a role.”

Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm is retiring after 27 years in law enforcement in Burnett County. Wilhelm released a short press release announcing his retirement on Monday morning. “I will not be seeking re-election as sheriff of Burnett County. At the end of this year I will be retiring from law enforcement. At that time, I will have served the people of Burnett County for over 27 years,” Wilhelm said Wilhelm was elected Sheriff in 2014 after former Sheriff Dean Roland announced his retirement.

He has served one term as Burnett County Sheriff. He ran as a republican in 2014 defeated Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers and then beat St. Croix Tribal Police Chief Frank Taylor in the general election. Wilhelm’s term as Sheriff officially ends on Dec. 31, 2018. Candidates for Sheriff have already began announcing their campaigns. The deadline for candidates filling their paperwork to run for Sheriff is June 1. The primary for that election will be on Aug. 14, with the general election held on Nov. 6. “I wish the next sheriff, who ever that may be, the best of luck,” Wilhelm said.

While in jail, Powell took and completed an anger management course. “It’s apparent that drugs and alcohol control your life,” Mogen said. Powell went through a presentence investigation (PSI) and from that came information about domestic violence and alcoholism from Powell’s past. Mogen said that when she read the PSI it was clear that Powell’s father was an alcoholic and that he physically abused Powell’s mother. She said when he witnessed that it was a traumatic experience and when any child sees that behavior, it is normalized. “Trauma isn’t healthy,” Mogen said. “The effects of trauma could lead to substance abuse later in life.” She continued to explain that when she was

on altogether. He added that Powell has 369 days of jail credit. District Attorney Bill Norine said very little at the sentencing. He did agree with the PSI guidelines for sentencing which were not made public, but Mogen said it was much more severe than three years probation. She said they are two totally different set of sentences. Mogen reiterated that she could have set some of the sentences to run consecutively, but decided against it after hearing Powell speak at the sentencing. She added that a small jail, like Burnett County doesn’t have the proper programs like those found in prison. “You have suffered severe trauma and have to deal with it,” Mogen said. “There are more programming opportunities in prison than I could ever order if you were on probation.”

an attorney she represented a large number of domestic violence cases and read some statistics to the court. “One fourth of all women will be raped or physically abused in their lives,” Mogen said. “From 2001 to 2012, 6,488 Americans have been killed in wars overseas,” Mogen said. “During that same time the number of women that have been killed stemming from domestic violence is 11,766. Almost twice as many.” She explained that substance abuse doesn’t cause domestic violence, but seeing a father figure do that to someone may make that young person think it’s acceptable. “And then the cycle continues,” Mogen said. Children see their parents abusing each other and they take that into adulthood Mogen said. Powell’s attorney Daniel Chapman, went into the sentencing hoping to get Powell three years on probation and avoid pris-

GOVERNMENT CENTER—Troy Powell, 30, Grantsburg was sentenced to prison on Monday and will be serving five sentences concurrently ranging from nine months to 18 months. He will also have to pay $3,443.82 in restitution. Judge Melissia Mogen said the most serious of his crimes was when he was arrested for criminal damage to property for smashing car windows while intoxicated. Powell received nine months in jail on this charge. In a case going back to 2015, Powell was sentenced to one year in prison and one year and six months extended supervision for attempted battery to law enforcement officers. Powell was sentenced to one years and six months in prison with three years extended supervision for two separate counts of felony bail jumping. He also received a nine-month sentence for misdemeanor bail jumping. In December, Powell plead guilty to those charges. He had a plethora of other charges that were dismissed but read in, including battery and disorderly conduct. Mogen said that Powell has substance abuse issues, primarily meth and alcohol. She added that he has a problem with law enforcement, especially when under the influence of those substances. “I’ve got a lot on my mind,” were the first words from Powell during his sentencing. Powell admitted that

he did have a problem with drugs and alcohol, that he says began with a paternity battle a few years ago. He said that he went to court multiple times expecting to regain custody of his three children. “I came back from court and I would just start drinking,” Powell said.

Webster student chosen as 4-H space camp counselor LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

WEBSTER—The International Space Station is a long way from Webster. Then again, so is Huntsville, Alabama – the home of Space Camp. April 26 - 30, youth and adults from across the state of Wisconsin will participate in the 4-H Space Camp educational experience. Part of this four-day adventure includes two days packed with training and activities that help students learn about STEM (Science, Technlogy, Engineering, Math). So when Mason Getts, 14, of Webster saw an opportunity to make a return trip, who could blame him? Mason, a Wood Creek 4-H member and the son of Steve and Bridget Getts, is the first Burnett County 4-H member to become one of 14 counselors who will be leading approximately 100 Wisconsin delegates on this year’s trip. Getts attended the Space Camp in 2017 as a delegate and enjoyed it so much he knew he wanted to go back. But planning for his trip went back a bit further. “I joined 4-H in kindergarten and Amy Kopecky, the Orange Leader, told me about space camp,” Getts said. “I

kept working towards it and when I got old enough, I jumped on the bandwagon and went and had a lot of fun. This year it’s a different curriculum. Instead of just doing space stuff like we did last year, this year we are doing aerospace engineering, robotics, and building, which is right up my alley. “

To be eligible to attend space camp, a potential delegate must be an enrolled 4-H member in good standing in the sixth to eighth grade. To be in good standing, Getts advises, “you have to do a certain amount of projects and complete your record books so the leadership is willing to fund part of your trip. They funded 80 percent of my trip. I really want to thank them a lot. That made a huge difference for me.” In addition to the fun stuff that comes with Space Camp, counselors are practicing their leadership skills as they guide first-time campers through activities, games, and team building exercises. Before they even leave for Alabama, counselors will already have participated in training teleconferences, attended training to team build with other counselors, and developed activities to pass the time on the bus ride down. “It’s something like a 20-hour drive,” Getts explained. “It gets kind of boring. So we lead games, do scavenger hunts and entertain the kids on the way down. When we get there, we will show them where to sleep and kind of supervise them.” “Anytime I go anywhere, it’s about meeting new people and having fun. I love to show my experiences to kids who haven’t been to space camp yet and get them hooked into it. I’m the first person from our county to go back to space camp, and I want to bring my experiences back and get other people to go. To show them this is why you should join 4-H, this is why you should do your work in 4-H, and you can reap the benefits.”

A look at last year’s program shows sessions every half hour, and delegates are busy from the moment they arrive with briefings and orientation. Activities include a simulated space mission where students are either part of mission control, a space shuttle, or the international space station. Students also learn about NASA and the space program, and participate in a competition that tests their knowledge at the end of the weekend. They also meet people from all over the world – and beyond. “There was a group there from Australia and some German-speaking folks. There were people studying to be astronauts working there who went to school in Alaska and Hawaii. We chatted with the ISS; that was a lot of fun and very interesting.” When asked if his experience made him want to become an astronaut, Getts said, “ It definitely does make me want to become an astronaut, but I went there because I want to be an engineer. I like to lead people, build stuff, and work with my hands. You get to design and build your own robot, and that is right up my alley. I love working with technology, mechanics, motors, and anything with moving parts. They don’t just have rockets. They have airplanes, helicopters, jet packs, and things you see in Star Wars.” In addition to being an active 4-H member, Getts also is involved with football, baseball, and has a job with one of the area businesses. He likes to tinker around with small motors, and enjoys the outdoors, four-wheeling, and fishing.

Bybee announces Sheriff campaign Hello, my name is Ryan Bybee and I am a Patrol Sergeant for the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office where I have served for 16 distinguished years. It is with pride and great support from my family, friends, coworkers, and the citizens of Burnett County, that I am announcing my candidacy for Sheriff of Burnett County. As a Sergeant with the Sheriff’s Office, I am responsible for overseeing the K-9 program, supervising Deputies, managing the budget for the Recreation Program, and overseeing training for newly hired personnel. Additionally, I am a Law Enforcement Advisor to the Burnett County Citizens Law Enforcement Auxiliary (BLECA). In 2014, I began researching the possibility of starting a much needed K-9 program in Burnett County. I am proud of the work the BLECA, concerned citizens, and local business owners did to raise money for K-9 Tracker. Together, we successfully brought the first K-9 to Burnett County in over 16 years! I was appointed as the K-9 supervisor. It is my responsibility to ensure that the handler and Tracker meet their monthly training standards, get the equipment they need to perform their duties, keep detailed deployment logs and schedule events such as locker sniffs and public demonstrations. This program has been a complete success and today Tracker is a household name in Burnett County - as well as a friendly face to our children, teaching them the importance of avoiding

drugs, building positive relationships, and making them feel safe. As Sheriff, I will focus law enforcement efforts to ensure the safety of children in our schools, combat the terrible meth problem, and manage public funds in a responsible manner. My goal is to ensure our children have a safe environment to learn and grow. The use of K-9 Tracker and drug interdiction tactics decreases the drugs there will be in our schools and community. The better managed your tax dollars are, higher pri-

ority crime fighting efforts can be funded. Given my 16-year history of service to the citizens of Burnett County, I am well qualified to serve the citizens as Burnett County Sheriff. I am humbled to have the endorsement of our distinguished former Sheriff Dean Roland. I would be honored to have your endorsement at the voting booth in the Republican primary on August 14. Thank You.

Please call the elementary school ofﬁce at 715-463-2320 if you cannot attend. Kindergarten registration is intended for children who will enter school in the fall of 2018. Children eligible for kindergarten placement must be ﬁve years old on or before September 1, 2018.

Project update The building committee reported that progress is on target to finalize the bid package work to be done. The fitness trail route has been finalized to run behind the swimming pool. The Village Board has agreed to maintain it, and GRO is developing plans for tying the trail to the splash pad and playground. The elementary entrance tunnel, weight room, and youth fields building are all progressing in terms of design and equipment choices. The gym floor and bleachers project, set for summer 2019 construction, is still rolled into this project, and the committee is working on solutions to maximize seating while allowing for a bit of separation between players and fans. The bid package should be ready for review at the April 16 meeting. Grants policy First reading of the new Administration of Grants Policy. Each year, federal grants are awarded to organizations to further public programs. Many times, grants come with specific qualifiers on use and application: whether it is what can be purchased, how many staffing hours can be used, or if there is a specific population

that is to benefit. In order to ensure any federal grants awarded to the Grantsburg School District are in compliance with any of guidelines, the district has drafted a new Administration of grants policy. This policy basically enumerates steps and procedures already in place by the District, such as records retention, expenditure guidelines, and who is in charge of the grants. Election items The board elected Kerri Oachs and Karen Miller to serve as the Board of Canvassers for the April 3 school board election. They join School Board Clerk Cindy Jensen in certifying the election results. Candidates elected will be sworn in as Board of Education members at the April 30 meeting. Other items: • Teaching staff reviewed vertical coherence during their work day on Monday. Vertical coherence ensures that materials taught on one grade level prepares them for the next. This requires reviewing a school subject (e.g. math) and ensuring that the transitions between grade levels are smooth in terminology, course work, and grading scales. • Law enforcement utilized the High School grounds for Active Shooter training while classes were out. These scenarios typically involve facility familiarization and tactical drills. • In light of Governor Walker’s passing of a school safety bill last week, the Board briefly discussed possible upgrades and enhancements to the District’s existing security.

At-risk youth capture the beauty of winter at artist reception

Food shelf awareness SUBMITTED BY: JOSIE PENBERTHY, COMMUNITY SERVICE SPECIALIST

Hunger is seen in our rural community every day. Many families are put in tough situations where they have to choose between paying the bills or buying food. Locally, Connections Store and More, Burnett County Food Shelf, and Indianhead Community Action Agency serve roughly 200 Burnett County families each month to try and combat hunger. As a community, we can help alleviate hunger by volunteering at a local food shelf, donate to a local food shelf either in the form of food or money, start a food drive to donate to a local food shelf, and/or spread awareness and post your efforts on Facebook. If you would like to check out the food shelf at Connections Store and More, it is open Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 p.m. and the second Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2 p.m. There is a monthly income limit. They also offer two food distributions each month: the first Thursday of the month and the third Thursday of the month. Anyone from any community is welcome to come and there is no income limit. Another way to get food is through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is also income based. If you would like to learn more about SNAP, please visit the Connection Store and More. We all share the value that every child, every senior, and every adult who is dealing with tough times should have access to healthy and nutritious meals. It will take everyone, working together, to solve hunger, so start playing your role today and help us end hunger in Wisconsin. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Healthy Minuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is brought to you by healthyburnett.org.

This new exhibit features the work of its Frederic ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adolescent treatment program. According to their expressive arts teacher, Molly Thompson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This show captured the beauty of the way the light dances on the blank canvases of snow, the warm neutral tones of the winter brush, and the sparkle

of the ice crystals.â&#x20AC;? Northwest Passage finds a great capacity for hope at the intersections of nature, art, and relationships. Program director Ellen Race says of the artist receptions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;These moments in the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; treatment are important. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than the process of putting together the pieces for the exhibit; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about creating these moments as a chance for our kids to redefine themselves as successful, capable, and worthy of good things.â&#x20AC;?

WEEKLY WAG

NATURAL CONNECTIONS

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

While HSBC is looking forward to renovating space and moving into the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption & Education Center, that doesn’t mean improvements aren’t happening at the current location. Last week, an existing project was completed at the Mide ttown location. A new building got its finishing touches, and g tthe first residents moved in. T The project - affectionately k known as the cat house - is c currently home to Ivy a pet ffetured in January’s Weekly W Wag in January. Before the construction o of the cat area, the intake a area for cats and dogs was in Ivy enjoying her new digs. the same building. Intake is where stray animals wait for their families to retrieve them, or they recover from illnesses or injuries before moving to the adoption area. Thus, a pet’s time in intake can be more than just a day or two. Animals often come in stressed, either physically or from the mental stress of being taken to an unfamiliar place. Imagine if you had a bad cold and were to try and recuperate at a heavy-metal rock concert surrounded by scary-looking individuals. This is like what cats can go through when being housed in the same area as noisy dogs who may see them as playthings; especially as cats like routine and they find change stressful. The new building has two areas. The first is a clinical ward, which is a quieter, secluded area where the cats can rest and recuperate. It has its own air handling system and laundry, which keeps germs from spreading through the building. Larger cages allow more room to place food, water, beds and litter pans – because who wants to sleep or eat next to their bathroom? The second space is the public adoption area, which includes two community rooms, a meet and greet room, and a quiet area that may be used for pregnant cats to await their litters. The community rooms include cat condos, a window, and a screen door, that allows several cats to hang out together in a bigger space. There are several toys at their disposal, lots of light, and a window and screen door so they feel in less of a cage and more of a home setting. The building was built with portability in mind and will eventually call the Peggy Schilling site home. Once relocated, it may be the site for occasional clinic work – only time will tell. Until then, it will serve as a quiet retreat for cats waiting for their forever families. Last week was unofficial Girl Scout week at HSBC, with not one but two troops taking time to remember the animals. Girl Scout Troop 57345 from Luck donated a Girl Scout cookie basket for the Bark and Wine Silent Auction. They also brought cleaning supplies and toys for the shelter animals purchased with their cookie money. Frederic Girl Scout Troop 56326 spent the afternoon at the shelter working on their pet badges. A perfect place to learn about taking care of pets and they even got to scoop some poop! Come back soon - the animals loved you! Several amazing baskets and items have been donated for the Bark and Wine silent auction. In addition to the Girl Scout cookie basket, we’ve received a trolling motor, Harry & David treats for people, and some amazing quilts. It’s not too late to donate and not too early to mark your calendar to attend. Looking ahead, HSBC is looking for vendors for the Meow Market on May 19. We are especially seeking out local artisans who may have handmade wares to offer for sale. Vendor tables are $25, contact HSBC if you want to take part in the first Meow Market at the new location.

Adventure: Alaska! Ever since my first trip to the Boundary Waters when I was 16, I’ve been aiming north. I grew up in the hills of Northeast Iowa, and spent my childhood envisioning cornfields as the prairies of Laura Ingalls Wilder. But as we drove up the Gunflint Trail and paddled deep into the Wilderness, the gnarled elegance of evergreens, the austerity of bedrock, and the connectivity of water captured my imagination instead. When choosing a college, I went north to Lake Superior. And when looking for both jobs and adventures, I’ve mainly stayed in the northern tier of states, working in northern California, Maine, Wyoming, and Minnesota. (Southeast Utah is an exception that proves the rule: it is heavily populated by both evergreens and bedrock.) Cable, Wisconsin, where I landed after graduate school in Vermont, is a happy compromise between the Boundary Waters and my family in Iowa. The north has been good to me. Yesterday I went for a spin on my road bike. Today I skate skied around a frozen bog on firm crust. I’ve been a naturalist at the Cable Natural History Museum for seven years. I have a garden, a community, and a great job. But I also have a little bit of that old wanderlust, and a pull to go north. In all my years of travel as a seasonal naturalist, I never made it to Alaska. My parents have been there. Friends have been there. And they all tell me I’d love it. But I can’t imagine spending just a two-week vacation there. Alaska is huge. So, after seven years, it’s time for a sabbatical. I’ll be spending the entire summer in Alaska: June through August, with two weeks on each end for driving there and back. My original plan was to get a job as a field tech at one of the ecological research stations up there. I wanted to gain more experience doing science. I am constantly learning and sharing facts that scientists have discovered. I want to have a better idea of how they conduct their research. But all the jobs needed me to start in April or May. Plan B is potentially even more exciting. I’ll be spending the summer traveling throughout Alaska (Where? Everywhere!) as a science journalist. I’ve already convinced a couple scientists that they should let me tag along on their work to learn about what they do, and then write about their research. I want to tell the stories of science. So I will tell them through this Natural Connections column and my blog, which you can find a link to at http://cablemuseum.org/connect/. One adventure will be a road trip to Valdez, to hire a local fishing boat to help us fill a few large jugs with seawater. Back in the lab at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, we’ll run tests to determine how well natural populations of bacteria are doing at breaking down oil from the Exxon Valdez oil spill

that occurred in Prince William Sound in 1989. I was only seven years old, but I still remember the television coverage. On a happier note, I’ll tag along with another researcher as she picks blueberries and studies “the influence of foods from traditional and subsistence lifestyles on specific cellular signaling pathways and overall health and aging.” Another destination I have in mind is the Bonanza Creek LTER near Fairbanks. The Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTER) consists of over 1,800 scientists and students studying ecological processes for many years over large areas. Twenty-six LTER sites cover a diverse set of ecosystems. This particular site is focused on the boreal forest, with studies on permafrost, fire, moose hunting, and much more. The guiding question of all their research is: “How is the BOREAL [my emphasis] biome responding to climate change and what are the local, regional, and global impacts of those responses?” “Boreal.” It’s one of my favorite words. It means “of the north or northern regions.” I can’t wait to learn more about the boreal forest. I’ve already started reading up. Did you know that much of interior Alaska was not glaciated, and is covered by loess, and that those are two characteristics it shares with Iowa? Did you know that a creature exists called an ice worm that lives near the surface of glaciers? Did you know that black spruce—our wet-footed neighbor in bogs—is fire tolerant in Alaska? By learning more about the ecology of Alaska, I think I’ll understand the ecology of Wisconsin better, too. My tentative launch date for this trip is May 15. I’ll head south to see family before going north again to visit Idaho (another state I’ve never been to,) and catch the car ferry in Bellingham, Washington, for a voyage up the Inside Passage. I’ll be writing about my adventures along the way. I hope you’ll follow along! And yes, I will return. My projected arrival back home is mid-September. Very few of my plans have settled into dates yet, and I’m still looking for more adventures. If you have ideas for scientists to visit, can’t-miss attractions or hikes, or kind people with soft couches, warm showers, and laundry facilities, I’d be happy to hear about them! To the north!

Happy Easter!

STACY COY | SENTINEL

Ten inches of fresh snow was not enough to cancel Easter at The Pet Store in Siren on Saturday afternoon. They held their annual celebration which included a petting zoo, photos with the Easter Bunny and an Easter egg hunt, albeit inside the store. The Pet Store staff hid over 1,200 eggs throughout the store for the eager hunters to ﬁnd, including two golden eggs which were good for a gift certiﬁcate. At left, Brandon Taus showed off the golden egg he found inside a rolled up mat. At right, Jasmine, 4 and Jacey, 5, hold onto puppies as they pose for a picture with the Easter Bunny.

Peaceful transfer of power for Siren track coach, team philosophy remains the same JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN—He may be the new head track coach, but Rick Larson says coaching the team is itself a team effort. It doesn’t hurt that he’s been coaching for 28 years. “We have a philosophy that goes back to the ‘70s with Murph,” Larson said. “Ever since I started in 1990 we’ve always coached as a team. He brought me on, quickly taught me about the sport and a few years later I was in charge of the throwers— shot put and discus.” Mike “Murph” Murphy recruited the young Larson as soon as he came to Siren from college in La Crosse for his first teaching job. Larson had coached while he was in college, but had never been involved in track. “I played baseball in high school, so when I moved to Siren Mike converted me into a track coach,” Larson said. Larson added that Murphy was absolutely a legend in the sport and that the sport in Siren mostly exists today because of him. “The thing about track is that you’ve got to love it,” Larson said. “That’s our main

goal, having fun. Yes, we’d like to be competitive but we want the kids to have fun. Then they can come back the next year for more of it.” Larson teaches history for Siren High School students. His classroom has the obligatory pictures of all U.S. Presidents and the back wall is a collage of historical images. He said his favorite subject throughout history is U.S. History, but says his favorite class to teach is AP Psychology because the students really want to be there and he “could assign homework or not, they like doing the work.” Behind his desk on the wall are two pieces of paper taped to the wall. “These are all the kids we’ve sent to sectionals,” Larson said as he points to one of the lists. “And these are all are conference champs.” The Siren Track and Field coaching philosophy allows Larson’s staff, Siren Middle School teacher Abby Grant and Jeff Howe of Howe Construction, to all be in charge in their own way. Larson has taken over for Wayne Koball who coached the team for 28 years, the last few as head coach. The pair began coaching track the same

Rick Larson

spring in 1990 with Murphy at Siren. Koball resigned from the track coaching job to focus on his new role as associate principal. “I was also aware that the program needed ‘new blood’,” Koball said. Koball added that he was also head coach “in title only,” because of all the hard work from the assistant coaches. “I guess I’m the spokesperson now for the team and doing this kind of stuff, but I’ve been coaching for a real long time,” Larson said. “I know the kids

on the team and I’m really glad we’ve got so many new kids this year.” When asked about the weather, Larson chuckled and said, “Of course it’s been difficult with the weather, Jeff is going out later to clear the snow off the track so we can get out there,” Larson said. He said the team hasn’t been able to get on the track yet and has been practicing in the gym. “Today we’re taking the whole team to a big hill and they’re going to run the hill,” Larson said. “We’re busing

the whole team out there and they’re going to run and work out on the hill. We’re also doing some circuit training and cross training, including Pilates.” Larson explained that the team has 46 kids for this season, that’s 20 more than last year. “We average around 30 kids every year so having 46 is going to help us compete,” Larson said. “The ultimate goal for competition is to finish in the top half of the conference. We have a tough conference ,but if we can finish in the top half that would be great. We also have one of our throwers who went to state coming back this year.” They have been having practice since March 12 with their first meet scheduled for this week, but meets have already been getting cancelled. “I know and so do the other coaches that we’re going to have some days where we’re stuck inside playing volleyball or basketball instead of being out on the track,” Larson said. “That’s part of the fun.” Larson reiterated his ultimate goal for this season is simple. He wants the kids to have fun and come back next year and do it all over again.

Tigers split at Mauston BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

MAUSTON—“It was really nice to be able to get outside and actually on a ball field,” said Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn following a split of two games at Mauston. The Tigers lost game one to Hillsboro 8-7, but won game two 12-2 over River Valley. In game one, “We had some rust and made quite a few errors that was obviously to be expected. Overall, I was just happy to get outside and play some ball. Being stuck in a gym gets old in a hurry. The first game we came out swinging the bats pretty good and got five runs in the first three innings. We didn’t do much after that which was a bit disappointing.” In the first inning, Hunter Rosenbaum got on via an error as did the

following batter Trevor Gustafson. Both runners had moved up and were in scoring position when Jack Washburn hit a single, getting them across the plate. After no score in the second, with one out in the third, T. Gustafson singled, Washburn doubled and Hunter Gustafson tripled to get two runs across. Brad Sigfrids sacrificed to get H. Gustafson home and the Tigers had a 5-0 advantage. No more Tiger runs came in until the seventh. “Seemed like we kind of took the foot off the gas which allowed them back into the game. For the most part, I was pleased with our pitchers as we only walked three batters for the game. We threw strikes and made them put the ball in play; we just didn’t make enough plays.”

Hillsboro scored single runs in the second, fourth and fifth. With Webster up 5-3, the Tigers added two more in the seventh. T. Gustafson singled and Washburn got on via an error. H. Gustafson doubled them both home for a 7-3 lead. “I’d like to have that last inning back,” lamented Coach Washburn. “We had a four run lead with two outs and it got away from us in a hurry.” Hillsboro scored five runs on five hits, one a double, and a base on balls. “There were a couple of plays we could’ve made to end it, but just didn’t get it done. In the end, I’ll take the blame solely on my shoulders for the loss, though, as there were some things I could’ve done better as a coach to get us the win.” “The second game went much better for us. We still made a few too many

fielding mistakes, but again that’s to be expected to a point with this being our first time on a field. Pitching was very good with Hunter (Rosenbaum) making a strong start and Jack (Washburn) also very good behind him. Putting up 10 runs in the first inning is always a great thing no matter who you’re playing, but especially against a very good team like River Valley.” River Valley put two across in the top of the first, but the Tigers came back with a vengeance. Rosenbaum walked. Trevor Gustafson and Jack Washburn both singled knocking both Rosenbaum and Gustafson home. Hunter Gustafson got on via an error. Brad Sigfrids singled and Trenton Wols walked. Austin Spafford grounded out, but got SEE TIGERS ON PAGE 16

Next Year I finished in 60th place in the prestigious Fiedler Ford tournament bracket madness challenge event. There were 62 entries. I didn’t have my kids fill my entries out. I didn’t draw names out of a hat. I actually sat down and researched a little bit. Of course, I don’t think I watched a single minute of college basketball this winter, so maybe that matters, maybe it doesn’t. I was confident enough in my picks that I used the same bracket in two other pools. In the We are Grantsburg pool I finished second to last (congrats to Scott Sagle for winning that one) and in the family one, where I compete with my in-laws, so you know I need to do well in this one or else it’s the kid’s table for me at Thanksgiving. Nope. Stunk there, too. Finished third from last, just ahead of my five-yearold niece. Nope, 60 of 62 in the Fiedler tournament, and I was never even close, not even a sliver of hope after the first day of the tournament. I picked so poorly I didn’t have a single team in the Elite Eight! That’s uh, really bad. Sara Moore and tournament director Mike Thoreson tied at the top with a score of 68. I had a score of 39. I finished ahead of two people in this tournament. Two. I’m supposed to be Mr. Sports Guy. This is humiliating. But, I have a threepronged plan to assure me at least one win next year and increase my odds exponentially. I hesitate to share, but I’ve got a lot more space to fill for the column, so here it goes.

Inside the Huddle Bob Rombach

PART ONE – MAXIMIZE BRACKET OUTPUT In each of the challenges I was a part of you are allowed at least three entries. In each this year I entered once. Next year I enter thrice for myself and since I have five others in my family I will enter three times for each of them. That puts me up to eighteen entries! If that doesn’t work next year, I’ll employ some tactics I learned from living in the Chicagoland area for five years. Let’s just say you shouldn’t be surprised to see entries from Big Gust show up. If I have eighteen brackets that means I can pick all the number one seeds to win, all the number two and three seeds, too. I can even pick two number four seeds! This is brilliant since a lot of times it comes down to the championship game to determine the champion. It’s like buying enough lottery tickets to pick every possible Powerball number so you guarantee you will win at least something! Except this is so much better. PART TWO – DELEGATION Have my family fill out my brackets. My wife was in first place in the We are Grantsburg bracket until the championship game, my 12-year-old son Zach finished second, and my two-year-old finished sixth. Heck, I can pretty much have anyone fill out my brackets and do better. In two of the brackets I finished ahead of people (Sara Moore and Scott Sagle) who actually won the tournament with a different bracket entry. So, I didn’t even beat the people I beat. This keeps getting more depressing. PART THREE – PARTY OF ONE I will create my own tournament. I will enter one bracket. I will not invite anyone to play with me. I will create a trophy for this tournament. I will display this trophy on my desk. I will force people who come over to my house to look at said trophy and congratulate me. Mike Thoreson, you’re invited. Even though this year did not go as planned I still believe failure isn’t fatal. Success is sweeter after battling through the tough times. Next year, watch this space for a tale of triumph! And a picture of my trophy! I’m also going to lobby Mike Thoreson to award a comeback player of the year or most improved picker award. He can present me with it next year at this time and watch me put it next to my championship trophy.

Tiger boys fourth, girls ﬁfth at Yellow Jacket Invite BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SUPERIOR—Last Thursday was the opening day of track season for the Webster Tigers as they traveled to Superior to be a part of the UW-Superior Yellow Jacket Indoor Invitational Meet. The boys came in fourth place behind highly regarded Superior, then Hayward and Ashland. Two other local teams, Unity and Frederic/Luck, placed sixth and tenth respectively. On the girls side, they were fifth, following powerhouses Northwestern and Superior, then Hayward and Moose Lake/

Willow River. Frederic/Luck was right behind the Tigers and Unity came next. The boys 4x800 meter relay team of Doriott, Erickson, Formanek and Schaaf came in first place as did Austin Moser in the shot put. Mason Schaaf placed second in the 800 meter run. Hunter Erickson came in third place in the 3200 meter run and the 4x400 meter relay team (Kern, Schaaf, Doriott, Formanek) also came in the third spot. Harlo Olson was fourth in the shot with Joey Formanek and Dustin Kern placing sixth in the 1600 meter run and 400 meter

dash respectively. The girls were first in the 4x200 meter relay (Peck, Petersen, Matrious and Summer Winkler). Third place finishers were Ali Moritz (55 meter hurdles) and Jeni Petersen (pole vault). There were three fourth placements for the Tigers. The 4x800 meter relay team (Doriott, Gomulak, Nelson, Raschke), Sam Nelson (800 meter run) and Jeni Petersen (triple jump) all fit in that category. Jazmine Mangelsen was fifth in the triple jump and the 4x400 relay team (Doriott, Matrious, Moritz, Gomulak) was sixth.

one run in. Carsen Stenberg got on via an error, scoring one run. With two out, Rosenbaum singled, T. Gustafson was hit by a pitch and Washburn singled. H. Gustafson doubled, getting the final run across in the inning. In the fifth, two more runs were

added. Coleton Peterson walked. Then one out later, Matt Buffington also walked. With two out, T. Gustafson singled home a run and Washburn followed with a double scoring one run. “Overall, our top four hitters in our lineup combined to go 16 for 29 on the day which is outstanding,

but we need better production from the bottom half of our lineup to get to where we want to be at the end. Our pitching was strong, pounding the strike zone for the day, but defensively we need to be way better that we were this first day. I’m confident in our guys that this was just early season rust and we will have brighter days ahead.”

The ďŹ rst fruit

Pastor Emory L. Johnson New Hope Lutheran Church

Last Sunday we celebrated Easter. Easter is the celebration of when Jesus rose from the dead and walked out of His grave. In the Bible, Leviticus 23, it is called First Fruits and it is one of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven yearly Appointed Times. These Appointed Times of the Lord were all given to parallel the life and crucifixion of Jesus, His resurrection, the giving of His Holy Spirit and His soon return as King. Jesus is the First Fruit of the resurrection from the dead. In the Gospel, John 11:25-26, Jesus tells us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.â&#x20AC;? There is a day coming when everyone will be resurrected from their graves and those who believe in Jesus will have new glorified bodies and will continue to live forever with Him. Romans 10:9-10 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.â&#x20AC;?

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, ELCA

God wants us to have a relationship with Him and that is why Jesus came to earth. He came to pay the price for our sins and to give us eternal life with our Heavenly Father. He rose from the grave on Easter Sunday morning because He has the power over death and if we believe in Him He will raise us up from the grave and give us eternal life too.

The 2018 Pirates are looking forward to another spring full of good games. We coaches are especially happy with players who show up to the first indoor practices ready to work on their game. The reality of spring baseball in Burnett and Polk counties means we are inside for most of the first two weeks. If the Southern half of the state faced the same early season weather that we have consistently, we would probably have a starting date of April 1.

Like many teams, we don’t know which players will fill our gaps. It’s always good to have players good enough to fill one or two positions if needed. The June lineup will usually be a little different than the April 1 lineup.

As always, my hat is off to all area coaches from the lowest youth teams to the varsity level. These men put in countless hours for the improvement and enjoyment of many ballplayers. Players, parents, and coaches sometimes lose sight of what it is we are trying to accomplish. I believe we are meant to help young men improve with instruction, learn a few life lessons along the way, and have some fun.

Juniors: Jack Washburn, Brad Sigfrids, Hunter Rosenbaum, Trevor Gustafson, Matt Buffington, Brendon Bray. Sophomores: Coleton Peterson, Tanner Pardun, James Magnuson. Freshmen: Owen Washburn, Carsen Stenberg, Mason Gustafson, Tristan Benjamin, Vincent Belland, Cameron Tomaszweski, Marcus Maxwell, Alijah Berg, John Magnuson, Zach Pope, Blake Espeseth. Q: Who and what are the strengths of your team? A: Our pitching staff is very deep. We have many great players so depth will be a strength. That high number of very talented kids will create a lot of competition for spots on the field, so everybody being pushed daily I view as a big strength. Q: What are the keys for a successful season with this year’s squad? A: The biggest key is always staying healthy. Beyond that, it looks like keeping the kids excited for the season with weather difficulties will be a challenge. Q: What goals would you like to see your team achieve? A: Conference championships are always the first goal. Beyond that, I think our boys would be pretty disappointed if we didn’t get back to State in June. Q: Who do you see as the toughest competition in the Lakeland Conference and why? A: Our conference always has many quality teams in it that are capable of beating anyone at any time. This year will be no different. Q: What preparations did you/will you do that were different than in past years? A: Nothing different; just keep working to improve on the little things that win ball games. Q: What can fans expect to see from your team this season? A: A hard working group of young men that will compete every pitch of every game, and some of the best baseball talent that our area has ever produced. Schedule Thu.

Q: What are the keys for a successful season with this year’s squad? A: If the chemistry stays good, everything else will fall into place. Q: What goals would you like to see your team achieve? A: Sorry, but our goal is always to win our last game. Q: Who do you see as the toughest competition in the Lakeland Conference and why? A: Turtle Lake/Clayton is always strong. Cameron and St. Croix Falls will be in the hunt. Q: What makes a good softball program? What criteria would you use to determine whether or not you have a good program? A: Winning would be the simple answer, but having coaches stick around and build a history of impact players will build any program. If players leave your program knowing they were a member of a special family, it’s successful. Q: What standards do you hold to as a coach personally and for your team? A: We never yell at players. Game-changing mistakes in games are never revisited. Our players know they are expected to respect coaches, parents, teammates and, yes, even umpires. Q: What preparations did you/will you do that were different than in past years? A: We always try to add new drills and some new pre-game warm-up stuff. Q: What can the fans expect to see from your team this season? A: Fans will see good solid softball. Schedule Tue. Apr. 3, Somerset Thu. Apr. 5, Baldwin-Woodville Fri. Apr. 6, ST. CROIX FALLS Mon.

Q: What are the keys for a successful season with this year’s squad? A: Focus on where we are at and moving forward, working together as a team and making improvements each game. Q: What goals would you like to see your team achieve? A: Our team goal we discussed the first day of practice. “As a team, work hard everyday to grow and work together, have fun, communicate and play every opportunity like it’s your last.” Q: Who do you see as the toughest competition in the Lakeland Conference and why? A: Grantsburg as they have a very strong program. Q: What makes a good softball program? What criteria would you use to determine whether or not you have a good program? A: A good softball program has consistent numbers of girls who are excited for and dedicated to the sport. At this point, I feel the strength of our program is not necessarily determined by wins and losses, but by the improvements made throughout the year.

Q: What standards do you hold to as a coach personally and for your team? A: Accountability and dedication. I hold myself accountable for practice plans and the direction the team is headed. I will hold the girls accountable to the effort they put forth in practice and games. I am dedicated to the program and making it better. I expect the girls to be dedicated to the sport and work hard to improve themselves. Q: What preparations did you/ will you do that were different than in past years? A: Something different this year is a more detailed practice plan that

A: Q: A:

incorporates many different fundamentals to help move us forward. What can the fans expect to see from your team this season? A new unified look! Any additional comments: “There may be people that have more talent than you, but there is no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.” - Derek Jeter. This quote was in a package of new equipment I opened the first day of practice, the team and I felt it was a good fit for Storm Softball.

Head Coach: Brad Nelson (boys) and Kim Hallberg (girls) Assistant/Volunteer Coach(es): Steph Berkholtz, Lisa McKinley. Last year’s record/Highlights: We had a very successful season last year. The boys team were Regional champions and the girls were a close second place at Regionals. We sent several athletes to the state track meet for both boys and girls. Roster: Seniors: Tyler Stevens, Kalvin Watt, Trevor Vollendorf, John Chenal, Cole Reichstadt, Chris Hermann, Joseph Ohnstad, Kyle Fagnan, Quentin Premo-Blume, Edward Clover, Janessa Bonneville, Grace Gaffney. Juniors: Jordan Gaffney, Tim Lindus, Leo Chenal, David MacKean, Nate McKinley, Tyrell Brande, Kaitlin Olson, Madison St. Germain, Gracie Gerber, Olivia Brock, McKenzie Rombach, Linda Harmon.

Freshmen: Robens Brande, Jared VanWatermeulen, Derek Lee, Emily Pierce, Gretchen Lee, Adriana Goepfert, Amy Harmon, Kaitlyn Rombach, Kylie Robelia, Allison Peterson, Jayden Watt. Q: Who and what are the strengths of your team? A: We have several experienced upper classmen who are leaders for the team. We also have a good number of athletes which gives us a lot of flexibility. Q: What goals would you like to see your team achieve? A: We have some state-potential athletes that we want to push to that and also push for a strong performance at the Conference meet. Q: Who do you see as the toughest competition in this area of Wisconsin and why? A: We are in Division 2 this year, one of the smallest schools in that division, which means we will face some big schools and tough competition at Regionals and Sectionals. We are optimistic, though, and plan to compete against some bigger schools during the season. Q: What makes a good track and field program? What criteria would you use to determine whether or not you have a good program? A: A good program for us is one that functions as a team. Because it’s such an individualized sport, it’s easy for athletes to focus on themselves and their own performance, but we want to cultivate a team dynamic that supports all athletes.

Continued from page 10

A: Murph, Koball, and myself have always attempted to motivate our runners and throwers to be the best they can possibly be ... and in the process have had several state champs and conference champs, But, we have also realized that many of our studentathletes join track because it is fun. Our goal has always been to find that balance. Q: What standards do you hold to as a coach personally and for your team? A: When Siren track athletes walk off the bus to run in a meet, we remind them that they represent their community, their parents, their grandparents, their teachers, their orthodontist, their mechanic, and anybody else who might know them... a speech made famous by long-time track coach Wayne Koball. Holding our students to a higher standard is a continuous learning experience that we as a coaching staff feel students need to be reminded of often. Q: What preparations did you/will you do that were different than in past years? A: Same preparation as always ... just more of a more balanced team. Q: What can the fans expect? A: With more depth than past teams, Coach Howe and Coach Grant are hoping to put together some competitive relays, and our shot and discus throwers are looking pretty solid. Schedule Thu.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record/Highlights: Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highlights for us start with the boys being Sectional champions for Division 3. Individually we sent six boys and two girls to the state meet last year. Andrew Ruiz, who now runs for Mankato State, broke our school record and was second in the state in the mile and was All-State in that event. Sadie Koelz made podium in pole vault set the school record with a vault of 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;?. She now vaults for Bethel College in Minnesota. We return six of our eight state qualifiers this year. and bring back most of our two teams from last year. The boys finished third in the conference last year and the girls finished fourth. Roster: Seniors: Boys: Austin Moser, Dustin Kern, Joey Formanek, Jordan Mitchell, Mason Schaaf, Simeon Wilson, Trent Gustafson.

Q: Who and what are the strengths of your team? A: For the boys, our strength comes from our throwers and our middle distance crew. We have a solid group returning from a third place team last year and are looking to build upon and lean on a good senior group. Boys to look for are Mason Schaaf (Sr.) Joey Formanek (Sr.) Dustin Kern (Sr.) Austin Moser (Sr.) Ross Daniels (Jr.) Harlo Olson (So.) For the girls, our strength lies in our middle distance as well. The girls are very young with the majority of our team being freshman and sophomores, BUT looking forward to a lot of surprises since we are so young and have a lot of first time tracksters with a lot of talent. Girls to look for include Skyler

A: Q: A:

Q: A:

Overall, we have a bunch of crazy kids who work hard to be the best they can be! We are blessed with great coaches, parents and administration who support the program. What are the keys for a successful season with this year’s squad? We look at success in different ways. First, Sam Nelson I would like to see kids improve their times and distances over the course of the year. Secondly, we want to see kids make their individual goals. The last success I would look at is remaining healthy and just enjoy being a part of something they are proud of. What goals would you like to see your team achieve? 1) Work hard together everyday; 2) Stay healthy; 3) Improve and set personal bests. Who do you see as the toughest competition in this area of Wisconsin and why? We have a lot of other great track programs and individual athletes from this area. We try to worry about ourselves and let the Grace McCool cards fall where they fall! What makes a good track and field program? What criteria would you use to determine whether or not you have a good program? Having good coaching, athletes, leadership and work ethic. What standards do you hold to as a coach personally and for your team? We would not ask them to do anything that we wouldn’t do ourselves. We have a high standard in sportsmanship and work ethics. Those are values that are important to us as coaches. They are things that student athletes need to learn about to become better young men and women beyond track and field. What preparations did you/will you Brenna Dorn do that were different than in past years? The weather has us indoors a lot more this spring which is a bummer, but every year we pick up new tricks and continue Schedule to try and improve how we go about Thu. Mar 29, at UW-Superior, 4 p.m. our day to day business. Tue. Apr. 3, at Spooner, 4 p.m. What can the fans expect Tue. Apr. 10, WEBSTER, 4 p.m. to see from your team this Tue.

Head Coach: John Addison Assistant/Volunteer Coach(es): Eric Bergman Last Year’s Record/Highlights: Second at Regionals. Jared Lee and Joey Duncan made the All-Conference team. Some kids learned some Simon and Garfunkel lyrics. Roster: Seniors: Stratton McKinley. Juniors: Luke Trittelwitz, Dawson Roberts, Lane Johnson, Justin Patterson, Joey Duncan, Jared Lee. Sophomores: Jared Patterson, Samuel Turenne. Freshmen: Gus Bergman, Bruce Lindau. Q: Who and what are the strengths of your team? A: Jared Lee and Joey Duncan continue to be the strengths of the team. However, and the kids will agree, our biggest strength lies in our ability to NOT practice over the summer so we are all well rested when spring comes around. Q: What are the keys for a successful season with this year’s squad? A: As always, if the kids have fun and improve I believe that would make a successful season. I am also hoping to focus on Bob Dylan music this year. So if any of the kids learn to appreciate a few of Bob’s songs, that would also mean a successful season. Q: What goals would you like to see your team achieve? A: I would like to see the team make it to sectionals again. I would also like to see Jared and Joey take the next step and one or both of them make it to state. Jared has come within a few strokes the last two years, and I am hoping one of them can put a round together at the right time. Q: Who do you see as the toughest competition in the Lakeland Conference and why? A: Luck/Frederic. Their kids practice during the summer. Q: What makes a good golf program? What criteria would you use to determine whether or not you have a good program? A: A good golf program for me would encourage a life long appreciation of the

game of golf. If I see the kids able to find ways to enjoy the game of golf, I consider that a win. What standards do you hold to as a coach personally and for your team? No lying. No cheating. Hard work. Fun. A basic knowledge of some Bob Dylan lyrics. What preparations did you/ will you do that were different than in past years? This is the first year coaching where I believe all of the kids on the team have played golf before. This should allow me to spend more time focusing the team on some of the more advanced drills of golf. I am also

hoping to be able to walk more with the Varsity Team so I can yell, mock and ridicule them when appropriate. Q: What can the fans expect to see from your team this season? A: I am hoping the fans can see some good golf this season. Usually the fans see some good golf followed by really bad golf. I am hoping that the kids just decide to play good golf this year. Fingers crossed.

Head Coach: Mathew Wood Roster: Seniors: Brett Johnson. Juniors: Carter Doriott, Jamin Wilson. Sophomores: Danny Ingalls, Tallon Parent, Katelyn Tegarden Q: Who and what are the strengths of your team? A: We have a bunch of kids with varsity golf experience, so they shouldn’t be as nervous as they may have been last season. We also have a couple kids that can shoot a low score consistently. Q: What are the keys for a successful season with this year’s squad? A: Consistency is going to be really important. I am hoping our players shoot well every meet rather than having a great meet and then a meet where the wheels fall off. I am hoping we can learn that throughout the year. Q: What goals would you like to see your team achieve? A: I am hoping for improvement all year. I want to see our scores get lower and lower as the year progresses. Q: Who do you see as the toughest competition in the Lakeland Conference and why? A: Frederic-Luck is going to be extremely tough. They have great golfers 1-5 and their JV is good as well. They have the returning player of the year as well. Grantsburg will be tough as well. Jared Lee and Joey Duncan were some of the top golfers last season. Unity will also be good. It will be a battle at the top. Q: What standards do you hold to as a coach personally and for your team? A: Golf is a frustrating sport. So I just want our kids to attack each day with a level head, and not let frustrations get the best of them on the course. Q: What preparations did you/will you do that were different than in past years? A: Unfortunately the snow will hold us back for some practice days. So we will have to practice differently for a few weeks to start this season.

Perfect Engagement Photos

ongratulations, you’re engaged. This is such an exciting time as you and your now fiance join together and make plans to share the rest of your lives together. You’ve most likely seen engagement photos before — the good, the bad and the outright cringe-worthy. To avoid the latter, consider the following elements. Do Your Research Choosing a local photographer is key. Look through portfolios and other engagement sessions each professional has photographed. Keep in mind that many photographers include an engagement photo shoot in their wedding photo package, so you will save in the long run if you book the same photographer for your wedding as your engagement session.

Schedule Early There are many benefits to snapping your engagement photos as early as possible. Not only will you want to capture the moment while your emotions of excitement are at their peak, but if you have them in hand early, you can incorporate them into your save-the-date cards and your wedding website or publish it with an engagement announcement in the local newspaper. Even if you choose to do none of these, one task will be complete. This will free you time to focus your attention

elsewhere later — when you will need to make many decisions very quickly.

Choose a Style Your engagement photos should reflect who you and your fiance are as a couple. You, your fiance and your photographer should discuss overall style and location, as well as any outfit changes you might have planned. Keep in mind how you plan to use the photos, as well as who will want them. Think of what you wouldn’t want hanging on your grandmother’s wall.

Plan Your Outﬁts Stick with styles that complement one another and stay within the same color pallet. You also want to avoid looking like a “matching set.” Many brides-to-be incorporate white attire into their engagement sessions, which is a classic choice and allows the groom to choose colors he is comfortable in, as everything matches white.

“I Do” • 2018 Wedding Guide The Sun/Amery Free Press/Burnett County Sentinel Page 3

Modern day “I do’s” BY SARA HAASE CROIX VIEW FARM

one are the days of three-tiered weddings cakes, hoop skirting, formal affairs, multi-course dinners, pouffy headpieces (that made you look like Wonder Woman), and parents who paid for the affair. It seems the weddings of today have evolved into something more casual and relaxed. Many couples have an established career, a large army of friends, and an idea of exactly how they want their day to go. Today, more than ever, we see many weddings taking place outdoors, in a garden, at a family member’s property, winery or a barn. The dress code is somewhat casual, as is the theme of the day. And although many brides choose to have their attendants don formal wear, there is a trend to find something more whimsical, or natural straight off the rack at a department store. It used to be that attendants wearing

unmatched dresses was unheard of. Today’s bride will pick her color scheme and allow the girls to pick the dress style that best fits their body. Or another popular trend is a multi-color scheme, reflecting the season. The guys are no different. Although tuxes are still on trend, with the move to more outdoor affairs and dealing with the summer heat, grooms are choosing lighter garments for themselves and their groomsmen. Think khakis, cotton shirt, and tie/bowtie and suspenders! Don’t forget the suspenders to pull this look together. Nice Jeans a white cotton shirt and tie have made their way into the choices, or cowboy boots. We’ve even seen a wedding where all the guys wore matching shorts and shirts. If the look of your wedding party is cohesive, there really isn’t a right or wrong way to dress your attendants. Other fun things on trend right now are an onsite photo booth, matching robes for the girls when they are getting ready, suspender gifts for the guys, lip synch battles, can coozie giveaways, kids activity table with bubbles, coloring books, etc. and mason jar drinking glasses for your guests. We’ve even seen grandmas as flower girls! The food has also changed. It used to be a formal, sit down plated meal was the norm. The meals served today often reflect directly on the bride & groom’s palate. From the ever-popular pig roast/ BBQ style, to taco bars, pasta, and even on-site brick oven pizza trucks, most reception meals are served buffet style

with plenty of food. Sweets and treats are something everyone does a little differently. Desserts range from cupcakes, to cheesecake, cookies, cake pops, pies. A top your own cupcake station perhaps? The most popular current trends seems to be the cupcake, which usually includes a small cutting cake for the bride and groom. If the venue has bonfire capabilities, have a basket for s’more ingredients. We’ve even seen an on-site donut truck! For continual snacking, we love a popcorn or a candy ‘bar’. Candy ‘bars’ are loved by everyone, from the kids to the kids at heart. Think vintage, big jars filled with colorful candy. Nothing is more eye appealing or appetizing! Having snacks out for your guests to munch on will be appreciated by everyone in attendance! Need to plan the second meal of the evening? All that dancing got you hungry? Many times, couples serve a second meal or light lunch of sandwiches or pizza. Did somebody say hot dog bar? Or how about a pronto pup stand? Thinking outside the box regarding the food you serve will get your guests talking about the amazing food and time they had on your special day. One thing that remains a staple is the need to hire a good photographer and/or videographer. Don’t skimp here. These are your memories and if you only plan to do this once in your life, you’re going to want to remember it with beautiful footage! So, find someone you click with, scour their portfolios and book them

fast! From the first look to the last dance, whether you are planning a wedding or attending one, the weddings of today are whatever your heart desires. If you attending a barn wedding, do you need to dress formally? Only if you want to. Is it against the rules to have a plated dinner on nice china? No. What it comes down to it, this is your day and you should do it however you’ve been dreaming. If you want to do a garden or barn wedding and require black tie attire, that’s entirely up to you. If you envision a more intimate affair but feel bad leaving people out, don’t. This day is yours and should be executed however you want. If they are truly friends, they will understand. Or if you want to include everyone down to your sisters, friends, mother’s brothers… do it. And don’t feel bad or apologize for it! (Make sure your facility can handle all those mother’s brothers!) When you look back on your day, you’ll forget about the stress you probably felt, or the fact that you ran out of M&M’s in your candy bar, or that your hair didn’t stay the whole time because it was hot. You’ll remember the love, fun, friends and family who shared it with you. You’ll remember the way he/she looked the first time your saw them that day. The way your parents cried tears of happiness for you both when the officiant introduced you as husband and wife. And how thankful you are that you did your day exactly the way you wanted.

An Intimate Affair A

small, intimate wedding has loads of romance to it — as well as many other advantages. While the large wedding has become a staple of contemporary American culture, the small wedding is making a comeback, and for good reason. Before you set your final budget and guest list, consider the following motivations for staying small.

Get Married Where You Want Think of all the gorgeous venues you could either price yourself out of, or not be able to fit into due to the size of your party. Keeping your guest list small gives you more options. It also opens up venues that don’t traditionally host weddings — or charge “wedding prices.” Think of places such as an art museum, a zoo or a greenhouse.

Spend More Quality Time With Guests An intimate wedding typically has less than 75 guests, which means you will have a lot more time to spend with each person. Walk around to each table and personally thank people for coming. Depending on the size of your party, consider

seating everyone at one long table — creating an intimate dinner party atmosphere.

Do More With Your Money Small weddings can cost less, saving you thousands. Alternatively, you could spend the same amount as you would have set aside for a larger affair and splurge on the luxurious extras you want most. A smaller wedding can be a way for you to ensure your guests have a night they will always remember, and that you have the wedding you always dreamed about.

Put Your Money Toward Your Future Your wedding day is a magical day and will most likely always hold a distinct place in your heart. But remember, it is just one day.

Hosting a smaller wedding means you are free to put additional money toward future

Did you know? The vibrant colors of spring make this season often associated with rebirth an ideal time for amateur and professional photographers to ply their trades. Various colors, including pink, blue, yellow, purple, and, of course, green are on display each spring, providing wonderful backdrops for nature photographers. Wedding photographers also may enjoy shooting happy couples in spring, when the colors of nature can provide a perfect and colorful complement to men and women during their engagement or wedding photoshoots. In fact, spring flowers have inspired artists from various mediums. Among the more notable painters to paint springtime flowers and landscapes were Georgia O’Keefe, Impressionist pioneer Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh.

goals, such as putting a down payment on a house or saving to start a family. Remember,

your lives together are just beginning.

Living centerpieces set receptions apart Weddings are special occasions for all involved. Guests may look forward to the ceremony and festivities, and couples who are hosting do not want to disappoint. Brides and grooms often look for innovative ideas to set their weddings apart from ones they may have attended in the past. While budget often determines what couples can and can’t do at their wedding receptions, brides- and grooms-tobe can prioritize certain components if they are looking to impress. Centerpieces are one aspect of the reception where couples can get creative without breaking the bank. Flowers are popular centerpieces at weddings. But even with cost-cutting measures, such as choosing in-season blooms, bumping up the filler-to-flower ratio and opting for low-profile centerpieces instead of towering alternatives, couples can expect to pay around $2,000 on wedding flowers, offers The Knot, a go-to resource for wedding planning. But opting for the following clever living centerpiece alternatives might not only impress guests, but also do so on budget. • Choose potted plants. Potted plants can serve as both favors and reception centerpieces. Live plants also can be an eco-conscious decision for couples who are interested in incorporating “green” elements into their weddings. Couples tying the knot in the autumn can place mums inside a hollowed pumpkin or gourd. Spring and summer weddings can be enhanced by miniature rose bushes. Winter weddings may be dressed up with small evergreen trees or potted holly.

• Marine life draws attention. Couples can opt for inexpensive freshwater fish to add ambiance and a focal point for the reception tables. Small goldfish bowls can be decorated with gravel that matches the color of the wedding theme. One lucky guest at each table can take home the miniature aquarium after the festivities. • Butterflies are whimsical. Some cultures or religions view butterflies as a symbol of endurance, change, hope, and vitality. Incorporating butterflies into reception centerpieces can make guests feel like they are stepping into a living garden. Small, mesh-lined cages filled with foliage and butterflies might add that special touch. Living centerpieces offer something different from floral centerpieces. However, because live plants and animals may be part of the display, couples need to account for their welfare. This means ensuring they will be cared for after the wedding, or in the event of butterflies, released into the evening sky.

Choosing Bridesmaids Dresses N

othing can cause more drama than choosing bridesmaids dresses — especially if you have a large bridal party or opinionated attendants. The smart bride understands that this aspect of her wedding is less about her and more about her maids.

Have Key Info in Hand

same budget, and a compassionate bride-to-be will be mindful of this. Unless you are picking up the tab, don’t choose a pricey gown. Not everyone views your wedding as the investment you see it as.

You should know your wedding colors and have your venue booked and your own gown ordered. All of these items will impact the style and hue of the gowns you choose. Will you be choosing the gown or have you decided to allow your maids to choose their own (with your final approval, of course)? Do you want your maids in the same style? Will they be wearing various colors or hues of the same color? Know the answers to each of these questions before stepping foot inside a bridal salon.

Be Flexible This applies both to your expectations of the dress and your maids. Keep in mind that the color you see in a magazine might be slightly different in person. Be flexible in terms of what is will look good on different skin tones. Remember, as much as you might love a color, above all, you want everyone to look their best.

Start with Pictures

Order at the Right Time

Look through many photos before you begin shopping. Also keep in mind, as much as you love them, your friends are not models (unless they are) — so what you see in photos will look different in person and on each individual person.

Many dresses require one to three months to ship, so be sure to allow for this. After the dresses arrive, you also will need time for your maids to pick them up (unless they are being shipped directly) and for the gowns to be altered. So don’t wait too long before checking this item off the bridal to-do list.

Plan an Elegant Bridal Tea S

pring is the perfect time to host an elegant bridal tea. Whether you are a bridesmaid or the mother of the bride or groom looking to honor the bride-to-be — or are a bride yourself — consider hosting a fancy get-together. It is inexpensive, chic and fairly easy to pull off without additional stress. Save on Rental Fees

You can save a significant amount of money by hosting the tea at someone’s home rather than at an event center or restaurant. Sunny spring weather means everyone should be comfortable in a backyard or patio setup. You will just need to be sure to have enough seating for everyone, which might require renting a few tables and extra chairs.

Capitalize on Spring Flowers An outdoor affair also provides plenty of natural decor. Afraid of rain? Flowers such as peonies are bountiful in spring, and their large blooms mean you only need one or two at each table to create a stunning effect. Roses also are a classic choice, with many varieties blooming in early spring. Any flower you choose, however, will add feminine flare and complement the tea service.

Use Family China While the betrothed couple might not be registering for china, you can bet that their grandmothers — and the grandmothers of close friends — did so, still have it and hardly ever use it. Many women will most likely be hap-

py to contribute to the occasion and let you borrow their settings. Be sure to keep track of which patterns belong to who and return them promptly and hand-washed. (Most china is too delicate for a dishwasher.)

Don’t Forget the Tea Alternatives Not everyone is fond of tea, so be sure to have alternatives to offer to guests. For hot beverages that also can be sipped out of china, offer coffee or hot

chocolate (a delicacy consumed yearround in many other countries), as well as cold beverages such as lemonade, or water garnished with cucumber or mint.

All About the Hair Y

our hair is a central component of the overall bridal look. What you choose to do with it — and adorn it with — can dramatically change your finished appearance. How you look will be an obvious focus of wedding planning since everyone else’s eyes will be on you. But don’t fret just yet. Follow these tips and tricks, and you are sure to be happy with the results.

Updo — or Down? Before you choose a hairstyle, you must take into consideration the style of your gown, as well as the overall tone you are hoping to set for your wedding. Your hairstyle should complement these aspects — not compete with them. Your face shape also will play a role in your overall decision. Just remember, the goal is to look like the best version of yourself — not someone completely different. Consider styles that don’t stray far from your everyday look. If you regularly wear your naturally wavy hair loose, a simple side-swept bun with a long veil will look more appropriate than tight ringlets and a tiara.

Veils: The Long and Short of It The veil has become a classic wedding accoutrement and is available in many lengths, styles and fabrics. Consider the style of your dress when choosing a veil; ideally, these items will be purchased at the same time. Will you want to show off the back of the dress? Stick with a veil of sheer silk netting. Is your dress an ankle-length, vintage chic stunner? A birdcage veil is the likely choice. When choosing a hairstyle, be sure it allows for the veil of your choice to be easily secured.

Headpieces and Hair Jewelry Another option is to forgo the veil altogether.

Baubles designed specifically with your locks in mind are getting more and more popular.

Think golden floral combs, delicate headbands and whimsical bun wreaths. You can

leave behind jewels and metals of all kind, and go floral; a wreath of delicate rosebuds or one

elegant magnolia bloom can add a breath-taking touch of romance.

Did you know? “Family Pride in Every Ride”

Engagement rings can be quite expensive. Online wedding resource The Knot says the average ring costs more than $5,000. To protect their purchases, consumers can listen to experts and ask their jewelers to mark stones with an identification number so lost or stolen rings can be identified and potentially returned. The diamond can be laser-inscribed with the diamond’s certificate number or a jeweler’s designation. Such inscriptions are only visible under magnification and can cost between $40 and $200. Some insurance carriers also will offer discounts on policies insuring inscribed diamonds, so it can be well worth the extra investment.

Marriage in the Movies T We enjoy every crazy bridesmaid, every heartfelt moment between a bride and her mother, and the general fuss that goes into and surrounds the wedding planning process. The following three movies, released 10 years apart from each other, focus their respective narratives on the wedding planning process. They also demonstrate how much has changed — and hasn’t — when it comes to planning the perfect wedding.

borrowing ideas from it is basically required.

Is there any bride-to-be more perfect than Annie Banks McKenzie? Yes, the original 1950 version is a classic, but there is something about the aura that Kimberly Williams brings to the role that has every modern girl wanting to be just like her. Plus, her storybook house was made for a backyard wedding. This movie oozes wedding inspiration, and

The Wedding Planner (2001) What’s a girl got to do to stay married? Wedding planner Mary nails marital issues to wedding choices. While she plans lavish affairs for her clients, her would-be courthouse wedding and classic boat neck dress have a simple-elegance to them that you can’t not appreciate.

Even though this is not the wedding she ultimately follows through on, her style is effortless — and brides-to-be will covet her style along with her love affair with love.

Bridesmaids (2011) This movie gets real with the drama that comes with the typical wedding. Meet yet another Annie, only this one is a bridesmaid who just happens to be down on her luck. She is the maid of honor

in her best friend’s wedding, where she must plan festivities with the other maids, including Helen, who is seemingly perfect in every way. Brides, take note. Bride Lillie definitely could have been more sensitive to both friends. Also, don’t eat questionable fare before a fitting. Lessons abound in this romantic comedy.

All About Entertainment Y

our wedding should not be just a day for you to remember. Traditionally, a wedding reception is a party thrown in honor of the bridal couple, but is hosted for the wedding guests as a thank you for their presence at the nuptials and for their gifts.

With the right planning, your reception can be just as memorable for your guests as it is for you and your family. Do research and think about what you’ve enjoyed (and haven’t enjoyed) as a guest at weddings. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.

Hire a Caricaturist Caricaturists always add a playful dose of entertainment, and their popularity at weddings in recent years has grown significantly. Not only are they entertaining to watch during your reception, but they can offer your guests a unique, personalized item — which you can use as a wedding favor — to take home with them at the end of the evening.

Hire Dance Instructors Sometimes enticing guests out on the dance floor can be a struggle. Offering up some entertainment on the dance floor could be just the ticket to get guests into the groove of things. Instructors can frequently be hired by the hour, so you can easily limit your costs. Your guests will never forget that your wedding is where they learned (or relearned) how to swing, waltz or salsa.

Offer a Photo Booth A photo booth is quickly becoming

an icon at contemporary weddings. Remember, while many professional photographers offer a photo booth as an add-on option to most packages, a photo booth does not need to be professionally installed or wreck your

The Amery Golf Club

budget. Consider crafting your own backdrop. Pick up fun props at a party store or thrift store, and use an iPad on a tripod to capture the mischief. If you’ve got young cousins itching to be

involved, have one of them man the camera. You don’t need to spend a fortune. But whatever you choose, you need to enjoy it. If you are happy and having fun, your guests will, too.

Thank You Card Etiquette

eceiving wedding gifts is an added joy of getting married. Writing thankyou notes for each of these gifts, however, can be a challenge. This is especially true if you receive a large number of gifts. Not to worry. With this simple guide, your thank-yous will be thoughtfully written and in the mail in no time.

Who to Thank Everyone who has given you a gift should receive your thanks. Be sure to add anyone who helped in planning, organizing, and decorating or ran errands on your behalf. Your wedding would not have been what it was without help. Start by making a list. This will ensure you don’t forget anyone and makes it easy to cross off each name as cards are written.

When to Send For every gift you receive before your big day, you have a couple of weeks to post a

thank you note. For every gift received at or after your wedding, you generally have a few months. This is not to say you should wait until the end of this etiquette deadline. Try to send your thank-you notes out as quickly as possible — ideally within the first few weeks after you return from your honeymoon.

What to Say As a culture, we have always struggled with the best way

to say, “thank you.” The best way to pen a mass quantity of thank-you notes is to stick with a simple formula, with a touch of personalization. Start with a simple greeting: Dear___________________, Then express your gratitude: Thank you so much for _________________________. Next, mention the gift by name and add a personal detail. This could be how you plan on using or displaying the gift. If the person has giv-

en money, describe how you plan to spend it. Follow up this sentence by stating when you hope to see the person again, what the person means to you, or just that you’re thinking of her. Finally, end with your regards.

Making it Fun You can relieve much of your anxiety about the task by making the experience an enjoyable one. Start off by

stocking up on some beautiful stationery. Thank-you cards are items you will need again and again, so you can take advantage of bulk deals without worrying about waste. Make it an “event.” Put on some fun music, pour a glass of wine and pick up your favorite pen. Don’t forget to split the task with your beloved.

Maintain honeymoon beauty

ccording to TripSavvy, 99 percent of couples who choose to have traditional weddings take a honeymoon. Around 1.4 million couples in the United States depart for honeymoons around the world each year, spending an average of $4,466 on the trip. Though not nearly as pressure-filled as wedding planning, honeymoons do require some planning to ensure a fun and memorable trip. In a Bridal Guide survey, wedding couples indicated they were most likely to worry about wardrobe, swimsuits, sunglasses, sunscreen, and luggage when getting ready to depart. Couples who want to look their best on their honeymoon and in their honeymoon photos should not forget to pack the following items. • Sunscreen: Sunscreen is a must whether you’re traveling to the pink beaches of a tropical island or the slopes of a ski resort. Choose a product that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, and be sure to reapply every 80 minutes or so, especially after perspiring or swimming. Sunscreen will help prevent damaging and painful sunburns that can adversely affect a trip. • Makeup-remover wipes: Even

high-end resorts may not provide the correct face bar for removing makeup and refreshing skin. Makeup-removing wipes can offer deep cleaning in a few convenient swipes. • Hair refresher: Brides who want to get a few extra days out of a wedding day hairstyle should pack a hair refreshing spray to tame static and add UV protectors that keep locks pampered until they’re ready to wash. Dry shampoos also allow for a little refreshing of hair between daytime adventures and evening dinner. • Eye cream: There may be a few late nights while you’re enjoying romantic, candlelit meals or hitting up the hot spots around a resort. Ensure honeymoon photos do not show tired eyes with an eye cream that can reduce puffiness and dark circles. • Tinted moisturizer or BB cream: A high-quality tinted moisturizer or BB cream will hydrate skin and add just

a sheer wash of color to even out skin tone. Pair with lip balm and a waterproof mascara and your honeymoon face will be ready. • Teeth whitening treatment: Couples who invested time and money into achieving whiter teeth for their weddings don’t want to let all of that hard work go to waste. Brush on whitening product after eating and drinking to prevent stains and freshen breath. • Blotting papers: Humid climates may cause perspiration and oils to leach out of the skin. Tame shine and that greasy feeling with blotting papers purchased from a cosmetics retailer.

• Light fragrance: Heavy perfumes have no business on breezy honeymoon escapes. Find a light, flowery scent or something tied to nature, like citrus in a travel-sized atomizer. • Stick-on bra cups: To feel more stylish and comfortable in strapless and/or backless dresses on their honeymoons, brides can use stick-on bra cups that offer support and lift. • Travel brow kit: Keep brows tamed and looking great with mini-tweezers, brow filler and gel. Honeymoon beauty is easy to achieve if the right supplies are brought along on the trip.
