Fireworks at Fire Association? BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG–The six Burnett County municipalities that make up the Grantsburg Fire Association may have an interesting meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, March 21, at the Grantsburg Fire Hall. Wood River Township is proposing a new way of paying for the firetrucks that provide the fire protection for the Grantsburg fire district. The firetrucks are maintained on a 30-year replacement plan. The fire association has one truck that needs to be replaced soon and another that will need replacing in about eight years. Generally, the cost of a new fire truck runs $250,000 or more. Town of Wood River has suggested splitting the cost of the truck six equal ways, instead of the usual method of using each municipality’s equalized property valuation to determine its share of the expense. Under Wood River’s proposal, each municipality would pay about 16.6 percent (one sixth) of the cost of a new truck. That would mean that all six municipalities would pay the same amount, or about $41,500, for a grand total of $249,000. The average truck cost to an owner of a $100,000 property would be $76. How would theirs proposal affect each municipality? SEE FIRE, PAGE 7

Chinese students enjoy Grantsburg visit BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG–Imagine studying a foreign language (English) since Primary School, then at age 17-18 getting the chance to travel to a small community in that country and experience it firsthand; to be a guest for a week in a home with a family and attend their school. Imagine also the excitement (and nervousness) of giving a presentation in that foreign language to an audience 200+ students and adults. Imagine seeing a clear-sky sunrise or a sky full of stars for the first time in your life. These were among many new experiences for a group of Chinese students from Jinan, who spent Jan. 30-Feb. 6 with Grantsburg High School students and their families. The Chinese students were full of questions and joy at having so many new experiences, and happy for the opportunity to proudly present a program to their guests about their school, their city, and their culture. All eleven students participated in the program Thursday afternoon. Some wore traditional, colorful Chinese silks. Others dressed in modern, western style of sweatshirts and SEE VISIT, PAGE 6

Tit for tat? A proposed land trade in the Town of Lincoln is set to be decided tomorrow (Feb. 11) during the county’s natural resource committee meeting. Jarrod Washburn, a resident in the Town of Lincoln, has proposed swapping 80 acres in Sand Lake Township for 60 acres in Lincoln Township. An apparent win for the county. So why is the natural resource committee making the decision? Because the wooded acres can be sold as part of a timber sale the two parcels are managed by the forestry department — and that department reports to the Seems to natural resource committee. So it looks like a no-brainer, Me right? the land-owner wants Todd Beckmann toExcept close the land to the public and create a fenced, for-profit hunting ground. Neighbors and other users of the property have taken an affront to this attempt to exclude them from what they consider to be “theirs.” An opponent of the swap sent me an email before deadline last week. He had included a somewhat lengthy 3-prong argument on why the swap should be denied. Not knowingly wanting to side for or against any particular issue, I emailed the guy proposing the trade and basically offered him the same length of article in which to explain the merits of the swap. I was picturing a point-counterpoint kind of showdown on the op-ed pages of the Sentinel. But he declined and I chose not the run the argument from the first guy — I let him know of my decision but did offer him the chance to submit a Letter to the Editor on the subject, which he declined. So, with the public comment period regarding the trade having closed on the first of the month, the decision now rests with the committee. When the forestry department first mentioned the swap, the committee seemed to be leaning toward approving it, simply from an economic point of view — and who could blame them? Giving up fewer acres which includes a river and river frontage (not marketable) plus being hard to navigate in lieu of a larger piece of property that is easier to access and the county being able to market nearly all of it for a timber sale seemed like a good deal. But now, opponents of the swap have spoken their piece and committee members are aware of how the swap would impact them. There’s no doubt it’s a tough decision but to help themselves the committee simply needs to call to mind the motto of the county board — to provide vision and stewardship. He’s arguably one of the more famous people to come from Burnett County but I’m hopping his notoriety doesn’t cloud the issue. Those acres in the Town of Lincoln were placed in public trust for a reason — to keep a pristine river and wildlife area open for all to enjoy. Is making this swap in the best interest of Burnett County?

Get my drift? Sunday is Valentine’s Day, a holiday to express affection for the people you love. For many elementary students, it is a time for a party and making (or buying) Valentine’s cards for your classmates. I have some fond memories of crafting a Valentine’s mailbox out of a shoebox. Being “artistically challenged,” From the I relied heavily Publisher’s on Reynolds Aluminum foil to disDesk guise the shoebox. I was always Tom Stangl quite jealous of the kids that were able to fabricate Valentine’s mailboxes that resembled the classic rural mailboxes. There were some real artists that could make full use of pink and red construction paper (using white as an accent) to create some truly beautiful receptacles for their correspondence for the party. Cutting a perfect heart out of construction paper was a challenge for me as well, but I tried. The people who could cut construction paper into snowflakes and cupids were greatly advanced beyond my skill set. The parties were fun, breaking up the monotony of the winter and

giving us some candy and a self esteem boost. Requiring everyone to give a valentine’s card to all of their classmates was a great lesson in tolerance and friendship. I’m sure you have your own memories of these parties. Perhaps when you got to the upper elementary your mother was on the party planning committee, making sure that we had a good time. Maybe you had a school crush on a classmate and hoped that the card you selected would give just the right hint that you liked the person. Heaven forbid you actually would tell them and face rejection and ridicule. Come to think of it, perhaps we haven’t changed as we aged. Valentine’s Day made the news recently as Burce Vento Elementary School in St. Paul decided to ban Valentine’s Day, along with other “dominant holidays” such as Thanksgiving and Christmas because the “dominant view” expressed by these holidays could “suppress” someone else’s view. According to news accounts, Principal Scott Masini told parents of the decision in a letter. “I have come to the difficult decision to discontinue the celebration of the dominant holidays until we can come to a better understanding of how the dominant view will suppress someone else’s view.” “One of the concerns that I have,”

he wrote, “…is whether or not this practice is encroaching on the educational opportunities of others and threatening the culture of tolerance and respect for all.” So, the holiday that I experienced that taught me the values of tolerance when I was forced to give a valentine to people I disliked is now “threatening the culture of tolerance and respect for all?” Say what? Some of the messages included on the candy hearts given out on Valentine’s Day say phrases like “Friend4Ever,” “Sunshine,” “Love You” and “Do Good.” Yup, definitely disrespectful and intolerant. The politically correct madness needs to end. Stomping out a sweet and gentle holiday like Valentine’s Day shows the madness and folly of the thinking behind political correctness. It is time to stop the madness. If we can’t stand up for a holiday that teaches the value of love and tolerance, what can we all get behind? Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Response to Governor Walker

Dear Editor: Open letter to Gov. Scott Walker: With respect to your State of the State address, please show us your plans for the following: • Increase K-12 funding back to 2/3 level and keep it there. Quit short-changing public schools. • Incentivize the consolidation of school districts in rural areas, as there has been a downward enrollment trend for 10-plus years. We are already consolidating in sports. • We need to do a pilot in Burnett County, keeping the three local school boards in place for a three-to-five year trial. Integrate more vocational-technical courses into the high schools in rural areas. We need at least 14 vocational courses locally. The goal should be to build the state’s middle class back up to $35-100,000 annual income levels. Mandate K-12 customer satisfaction by surveying parents and the graduates one, three and five years after graduation. Require all districts to publicly report the satsifaction responses to all taxpayers. • Taxes. We are the sixth highest average annual tax burden at $8,975. The sixth lowest is Washington state at $3,823. We are fourth highest in income tax and fifth highest in property tax. What are your plans to move us from sixth highest to sixth lowest? • Environment. Water, land and air control need to be controlled by each county. Minimum state control. County rights vs. state rights. Government closest to the people works best. • Safety. No gun-free zones posted. It advertises “We are not armed, take me.” Less federal control and more state, county, and local control, if needed. • Greatly increase fines for no seat belts used, distracted driving, and DUI’s. The

penalties must be very painful. Rich Hess Trade Lake

Save our Wisconsin waterways To the editor: Our state legislature is poised to pass bills (SB459/AB600) which could forever ruin our ability to enjoy and use the amazing water resources our state’s blessed with. The Republicans who proposed these sweeping bills want to roll back long-standing laws protecting our water as a public good, not a private commodity. How would you like it if you could no longer have access to your favorite lake? These bills would give away publicly-owned lake beds to private developers, for free! This undermines the very core of water protections set forth in the Public Trust Doctrine, which ensures that all Wisconsinites have a right to enjoy and use Wisconsin’s water. Wisconsin’s Constitution states that the waters of Wisconsin are held in trust for the public’s benefit, not a private playground. SB459/AB600 also allows property owners to dredge sediment from lakes without individual review. Up to 100 cubic yards (10 dump trucks’ worth) could be removed each year from Great Lakes properties and 30 cubic yards, or three dump trucks, from inland lakes. In most cases, no testing for contaminated materials would be required This dredging does not consider the rights of neighbors and the public to fish or enjoy water that has just been disrupted, and possibly made unsafe, by massive dredging. Dredging lake beds can cause many problems, including destroying spawning areas or other important habitat. The damage could be permanent.

This Republican-sponsored bill would also remove protections from all non-federal wetlands, or roughly 20 percent of all Wisconsin wetlands. These wetlands would be vulnerable to development, leading to fewer habitats for waterfowl, reduced water clarity, and more flooding. If you love your favorite fishing spot, hunting wetlands, or a lake or river that is your treasured get-away, you should be very concerned about these bills. Please contact your legislators and urge them to vote “NO” for SB459/ AB600. State Senator Sheila Harsdorf (608) 266-7745 Sen. Harsdorf@legis.wisconsin.gov. Assembly District 28 Rep.

Top 3 Republicans want war To the editor: I recently watched the Iowa caucuses. The top three Republican candidates all advocated for war. Sen. Cruz advocates carpet bombing. His reference is President G.W. Bush, who had 600 raids in a single day in Desert Storm. That turned out well, didn’t it? Why didn’t Bush carpet bomb Saudi Arabia, where the 9/11 bombers came from? Do you suppose oil had anything to do with that? Cruz says President Obama has lost world respect. We should correct that for truth. Ninety nations just approved a global warming initiative that included Russia and China. What other president has gathered that kind of support worldwide? Remember how negative the conservatives were when Obama opened relations to Cuba again? I haven’t heard it

mentioned in the debates. Could it be that the public supported it? Carpet bombing certainly will not gain you world respect. It will give you a world of fear and hate. It will give the small countries good reason to get an atomic bomb and missiles to defend themselves against a belligerent world power. Politicians have milked the Christian fundamentalists for years to get votes, saying things like “the Founding Fathers intended this to be a Christian nation.” That is a lie. Biblical governments were not democracies. They were monarchies, military dictatorships and some theocracies. Democracy is not mentioned in the Bible. Democracy comes from freethinkers like John Locke, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and that group. In fact, when Jefferson wrote the Constitution, it was almost a direct copy of Locke’s writing. Jefferson had written “We hold these truths to be sacred.” Franklin crossed it out and wrote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” Franklin said, “This is a contract between the people and the government, not the people and their God.” What puzzles me is how fundamental Christians, who profess their love of God and belief in Jesus Christ, vote for a candidate who advocates carpet bombing and indiscriminate killing whosoever he doesn’t like. He also objects to food for the poor. He opposes decent wages, women’s rights, and says the savings should be given to the rich in taxpayer breaks. After all, they are the goose that lays the golden egg for politicians’ campaigns and other goodies. Francis Peterson Spooner

exercise.â&#x20AC;? The levy limit for the 2016 budget amounted to an increase of roughly $38,000. Not nearly enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are nine to 12 deputies below where we should be,â&#x20AC;? Ron Wilhelm, Burnett County Sheriff, pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are barely meeting the needs of our community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I think everyone at this table is in the same boat.â&#x20AC;? He was correct in his assumption â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Frank Taylor, Chief of the St. Croix Tribal P.D., Chris Sybers, Chief of the Siren P.D., Jeff Schinzing, Chief of the Grantsburg P.D., and Mike Spafford, Chief of the Webster P.D., each listed the lack of adequate staffing as one of the top three priorities in their respective agencies. That being the case, they each said they look to outside agencies for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They help us and we help them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of trying to be a good neighbor,â&#x20AC;? Schinzing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not a 24-hour a day agency so sometimes we have to lean on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; here,â&#x20AC;? he continued, nodding to Wilhelm on his left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, we are being reactive rather than proactive,â&#x20AC;? the sheriff added. For his part, Nate Ehalt, county administrator, one of the moderators of Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discussion, did point out that better communication could alleviate some of those staff shortages. But that may have been an over-simplification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know what to share and then getting it out in a timely manner,â&#x20AC;? Schinzing noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our department is bombarded with information â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to the point where we are just trying to deal with the critical issues.â&#x20AC;? Speaking of critical issues, the police chiefs explained the intergovernmental agreements which are in place between the tribe and the three villages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; allowing each agency to reach out to one another in a time of need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea of the agreements is for the tribe or village PDs to help each other when the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

office is tied up,â&#x20AC;? Frank Taylor remarked. Sybers agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting adequate support so we set up these agreements four or five years ago,â&#x20AC;? he reasoned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working well together.â&#x20AC;? However, both of the moderators, Ehalt and Rhonda Reynolds, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency management director, continually tried to find some common ground whereby the agencies could do more sharing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each agency has different needs,â&#x20AC;? Schinzing argued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But all law enforcement officers each need the same basic training â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like firearms training, CPR, that type of thing but we already do some of that jointly.â&#x20AC;? That piqued some interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you applied for training grants for some of that training?â&#x20AC;? Reynolds inquired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money for that training?â&#x20AC;? Sybers replied incredulously. Reynolds nodded affirmatively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are grants available for any number of trainings and the trainers will come here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but you generally need 20 people signed up for that to happen,â&#x20AC;? she clarified. With numerous law enforcement agencies in the county plus fire departments, first responders and the like, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like it would be difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be glad to participate, especially if you bring the training to us,â&#x20AC;? Wilhelm stated. Taylor agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between our agencies and the other emergency agencies around the county, we should be able to get 20 people together,â&#x20AC;? he observed. Realizing the top cops could talk all day, Ehalt brought the round table to a close.

The rules of the trail mittee in the future to ask for more staffing.”

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The goal is pretty straightforward. “My goal is to have a full time forestry-recreation officer,” Sheriff Ron Wilhelm told members of the county’s public safety committee on Thursday. The rec officer has been a hot-button issue for some as of late, given the on-again, off-again nature of trail coverage. Wilhelm said it is a staffing issue. “Currently, our two newest deputies are completing their field training. We have another out on medical,” Wilhelm explained. “We have x-number of shifts which have to be filled, so we can’t have one officer tied down to doing rec duties.” That being said, Wilhelm was quick to note the trails aren’t being ignored. “Ryan Bybee has been our lead guy on trails for as long as I can remember, and between him, and officers Ken Pardun, Lizz Berres and Patrick Carlson, they are covering the trails as needed,” he pointed out. But the hit-and-miss trail coverage didn’t sit well with some on the committee. “I thought we budgeted for a full time rec officer,” member Gene Olson argued. “Where are those funds?” Wilhelm said those funds are what’s being used to pay the four for their trail coverage. But Olson wasn’t assuaged.

Stand-alone dispatch Among his other goals, Wilhelm would like to see a new law enforcement center, complete with a new jail. He also envisions a stand-alone dispatch center.

Ron Wilhelm

“The state refunds the department for recreation officer duty,” he stated. “By not having a rec guy, we’re losing money.” But Wilhelm corrected him on that point. “The county has not lost any money,” he assured the committee. He said fewer and fewer counties are doing rec patrols, basically because the state has doubled the requirements for refund-eligible rec patrol. “The state now requires us to make double the contacts, double the citations which need to be issued — double everything,” the sheriff added. Until the staffing level in the department is back to its full complement, Wilhelm said there can’t be a full time rec officer. “We’re at a critical time because we don’t have the staffing,” he observed. “In fact, I’ll be coming to this com-

In other business: • Rhonda Reynolds, emergency management director, informed the committee she is working on a new county-wide tactical radio frequency plan. “I’d like to assign frequencies to specific events so all the chatter regarding a fire, for example, isn’t on one frequency,” she explained. The plan is at the stage where the various emergency agencies, like fire, ambulance and law enforcement, would have to “buy-in” to the idea of a tactical plan. • Wilhelm said his department’s proposed K-9 program is moving forward. “We have developed what I believe to be a very positive time-line,” he reported. The time-line includes such topics as costs, training, equipment, insurance, vet services, donations and similar issues. The time-line also includes county board action for program acceptance in April. If that comes to pass, Wilhelm said the first day of the dog on duty would be in January, 2017.

Winter Heating Tips Pull the plug on energy costs by unplugging your electronic devices Did you know that you’re sharing your home with “energy vampires?” They use energy from your electronic and electrical devices—even when those devices are turned off. Here’s a tip from Polk-Burnett Electric Co-op that can help you get rid of those “vampires,” saving energy and money. Any electronic device or appliance that has a plug draws energy, even after you turn it off. So the only way to stop that energy drain is to pull the plug. One way to identify those “energy vampires” is to start with devices that have remote controls—TVs, DVRs and audio equipment, for example. And don’t forget about gaming consoles and computers, monitors and printers. Yet another thing to check is chargers for cells phones, iPods, small DVD players and laptops, which use energy even when they’re not charging anything. Your electronic devices may not use much power when they are switched off, but still plugged in. But those losses add up. “Energy vampires” are responsible for an estimated 10% of the electricity that you use every month. One easy solution is to plug all the components of a computer system or a home entertainment system into a power strip. Then, with a single ﬂip of a switch, you can really turn off everything plugged into the

Tuesday’s primary ﬁrst of 4 elections

SIREN—The first of four opportunities to vote during 2016 will be Tuesday, Feb. 16. Polls throughout Wisconsin will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters will cast their ballots in the primary leading to the April 5 spring election. Three candidates are vying for one position on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which became vacant with the September 2015 death of Justice Patrick Crooks. The candidates are Judges Joe Donald, JoAnne Kloppenburg and Rebecca Bradley. The top two primary vote-getters will be on the ballot for the April 5 general spring election. Voters in the Burnett County towns of Dewey, Rusk and Scott, who live in the Spooner School District, will also cast votes at the primary in a runoff among 10 candidates for nine spots available on the April 5 ballot. Three seats are up for election on the Spooner School Board, which then allows nine candidates on the ballot. With very few exceptions, voters will be required to show a photo ID to receive cast a ballot. Those without a voter photo ID will may cast a provisional ballot, and will have until 4 p.m. on Feb. 19 to return to their municipal clerk and present a photo ID. Or, on voting day, they may also choose to retrieve their photo ID, if they currently possess one, and return to the polling location to cast a ballot. For more information on which photo IDs are acceptable for voting, visit http://www. bringit.wi.gov/ Steve Briggs, Sentinel

Siren to convert to LED streetlights BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—A bigger bang for the buck is what Siren is after following action by the village’s streets and utilities committee. They approved a four-year plan to swap its high-pressure sodium vapor streetlights to light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures. “Our goal is to change nine a year for three years and 11 that fourth year,” Dave Alden, village president, explained. “That way, all 38 street lights in the village will be changed.” The village budgeted $5,000 for the 2016 portion of the conversion. The change comes down to economics. “Every time we have to fix a streetlight which has burned out, the ballast for the light costs us $250 plus about $190 in labor for Mauer Power to install,” Alden continued. “The new LED bulbs are $450, the labor cost is the same but the LEDs are expected to last 20 to 25 years — compared to the 10-year usage we get from the lights we have now.” If the village swaps out a quarter of the street lights each year in the next four, the old ballasts could be used for any outages until the conversion is complete. “If we replace nine this year, we keep those old ballasts and use them instead of buying the new units,” Alden added. According to lighting experts, LED streetlights provide a crisper, whiter light, burning at 4,000-degrees Kelvin.

In other business: • The village approved the site plan for the Siren Fire Association fire hall at the corner of Highway 35 and Tower Road. The front of the hall will face the highway and that’s where the fire trucks will exit the station during fire calls. The trucks will use Third Avenue when returning to the hall. Trustee Jan Hunter, who is the village’s representative to the association, said the project is expected to go for bid soon. • As of Feb. 15, the village’s police department will no longer be able to issue any Department of Natural Resources registrations. The DNR is attempting to conduct all its registrations via computer.

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

Tulip is a five-month-old tuxedo kitten that is a little spitfire! She is not the least bit shy. In fact, if you happen to be at her level at any given time, Tulip will happily jump onto your shoulder without warning. I had not been privy to this information during a recent visit to the shelter where she quickly made herself at home on my shoulder and tried to figure out how to Tulip get the hair clip out of my hair. When Tulip gets the opportunity to run free in the office, she makes good use of her time, whether it’s getting scooped up into someone’s arms for some cuddling, exploring her surroundings to see what mischief she can get into, or trying to become a BFF (best Nick friend forever) with one of the shelter manager’s rather large dogs. Tulip is a very busy, extremely cute girl. Nick is a six-year-old, 13-pound orange cat. He is polar opposite of Ms. Tulip. This guy is a mellow fellow who just loves to be loved. When I first met Nick, he didn’t waste any time coming to his condo door to greet me. I didn’t get to see him “in action” in the office, but I’m guessing he isn’t as exciting to watch as Tulip. Personally, at my age, I prefer the older cats (like Nick). I enjoy the cats that just want to snuggle with me on the couch for a good movie. I have the feeling that Nick might fit this description quite well. So, if you are looking for a more energetic kitty – Tulip’s your gal! If you want a calm kitty – Nick has those qualifications! If you are interested in adopting Tulip, Nick, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 8664096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-forprofit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

A paddler from the 2015 event, Stuart Milsten is seen here on the Namekagon River.

A week-long paddle invitation DANBURY—The St. Croix River Association is now accepting registrations for their annual river paddle, June 11-17. The six day adventure will cover 92 miles of the Namekagon River, from Cable to Danbury. The Namekagon, which feeds into the St. Croix River, is part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, a National Park. The registration fee covers shuttles, transportation of gear along the route, six nights of camping, evening educational programs and 5 meals. The deadline to register is May 1. The trip is limited to 80 paddlers and usually fills months in advance. In the past three years about 300 people have participated. The youngest was 18 months old, and the oldest 87. “Expect to unplug and reconnect with the natural world,” says Deb Ryun, executive director of the St. Croix River Association. “We do the organizing — all you have to do is show up with your gear and some food and have fun. You’ll challenge yourself, build lasting relationships, see an abundance of wildlife and stunning scenery, and learn more about this wild and scenic river.” “It’s the friendships, the beauty of the surroundings and the complete relaxation that I look forward to each time,” says paddler Leta Johnson. “The ability to take

WILDSIDE Nature storytime at Interstate Park Join Naturalist Julie Fox at 10 a.m. Thursdays through March 24 for a story and activity at the Ice Age Center at Wisconsin Interstate Park. A short activity following the story will reinforce the story’s nature-related theme. Nature Storytime is for pre-school children and their parents. The program will generally last between 30-60 minutes. Participants may spend time outdoors, weather permitting, so parents should dress their children accordingly. Interstate Park is located in St. Croix Falls on State Hwy 35 just 1/2 mile south of Hwy 8. Nature Storytime is free of charge, but a Wisconsin State park sticker is required to enter the park. For more information call Julie at 715-483-3747.

Woodland Forum at Spooner Agricultural Station A series of Woodland Owner Forums are scheduled for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursdays, Feb. 18 through March 17 at Spooner Agricultural Research Station at W6646 Highway 70, Spooner, WI. The forums are free. No registration is required. At some point, every landowner will need to make a decision about what to do with their wooded property. Most woodland owners don’t know where to turn for advice for important decisions like timber sales, forest management or estate planning. These forums are an opportunity to learn about your options, meet local forestry professionals, and learn from the experience of other woodland owners.

time and just enjoy, to laugh, and to understand that what I am really looking for is just outside.” This year’s journey promises a diverse paddling experience. The Namekagon River is primitive and remote, at times very narrow and wild. Other reaches flow through more populated areas. As it nears the confluence of the St. Croix River, the Namekagon runs wider and slower. The paddle will meet the St. Croix River on the final day. The 2016 paddle will be the sixth of a tradition started in 2011, when paddlers traveled 17 days down the length of the St. Croix to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the St. Croix River Association, a non-profit whose mission is to protect, restore and celebrate the St. Croix River and its watershed. More information and registration is available on the SCRA Paddles website at www.scrapaddle.org, including a daily itinerary, a map of the route, and lodging options. Local sponsors who help make the trip possible include Xcel Energy, 45 Degrees, the St. Croix Casino, the Cable Area Chamber of Commerce, Seeley, Wisconsin, Comfort Suites Hayward, Camp Namekagon, Log Cabin Resort in Trego, and the National Park Service.

Judges needed for 2016 elections BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

If your “bucket list” includes serving as an election judge during a presidential election year, this is your time. Burnett County Clerk Wanda Hinrichs says it’s very likely all 24 Burnett County municipalities will be looking for help during 2016’s four elections. That includes all 21 townships and three villages. To qualify to serve as an election judge, (also called a poll worker or election inspector) you must: • Be 18 years old; • Have resided at least 28 days in the election district where you will serve; • Speak, read and write English fluently; • Have a valid Wisconsin ID; • Possess strong clerical skills; • No felony convictions; and • Not be a candidate for any office to be voted on at the polling place at that election. Polling places are open statewide from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Poll workers can work a full day, generally from 6:30 a.m. until approximately 9 p.m., or later in the case of November elections. In jurisdictions that allow split shifts, poll workers may work an eight-hour shift, such as 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., or from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. or later. Grantsburg Village Clerk Jennifer Zeiler says she employs two shifts to avoid such a long work day for her poll workers. It also results in fewer counting errors, she says. Most election workers receive pay, which may range from minimum wage to $14 or more per hour, depending on location. The job duties include helping voters register to vote; checking voter records to be sure the person is a resident of the voting jurisdiction; and in some cases, showing a voter how to use a voting machine. The final job at the end of the night is, of course, counting the votes and assuring all the paperwork documenting the election day is complete and ready to turn into the County Clerk. This year, the job has another new and complicated wrinkle. It will require election judges to know what forms of ID are acceptable for their ballot to count, and to see that

voters have a valid ID. And, knowing what to do if the prospective voter does not have a valid ID. As a certified election trainer for county and municipal clerks and election judges, County Clerk Hinrichs trains personnel from other counties as well as Burnett. The already-busy Burnett County Clerk’s office and villages offices really feel the heat in an election year like this one, with four elections. They are: • Feb. 16 – Spring Primary involving the Wisconsin Supreme Court and some school boards. • April 5 – Spring Election for school board, village board, county supervisor positions and Presidential Preference Vote. • August 9 – Partisan Primary. • November 8 – Fall General Election for Presidential, Congressional, State and County seats. Serving as a poll worker requires attending a training session prior to the election day. If this sounds like a bucket list moment for you, contact your municipal clerk at the following numbers: Village of Grantsburg: 715-463-2405. Village of Siren: 715-349-2273. Village of Webster: 715-866-4211. Town of Anderson: 715-472-4753. Town of Blaine: 715-244-3179. Town of Daniels: 715-349-2291. Town of Dewey: 715-468-7111.

Listening Tenth District State Senator Sheila Harsdorf conducted a listening session at the Burnett County Government Center on Friday morning. “I appreciated those who took time to join me for my listening session on Friday as these sessions allow me to hear ﬁrsthand from constituents what issues are important to them and also provide me the opportunity to update area residents as to what is happening in Madison,” Harsdorf remarked. “Friday’s session was well attended and a variety of issues were discussed.” For those unable to attend, she had some ready-made advice. “I encourage area residents to contact me anytime through my website at www.harsdorfsenate.com, or email me at sen.harsdorf@legis.wi.gov, or call my office at 800862-1092,” Harsdorf concluded.

Tobacco retailers comply SIREN–‘Western Wisconsin Working for Tobacco-Free Living’ thanks all tobacco retailers who did not sell tobacco to minors during “Wisconsin Wins” tobacco compliance checks in 2015. Across the state, only 6.8 percent of tobacco retailers illegally

sold tobacco during 2015 checks, meaning 93.2 percent were in compliance. “Westerm Wisconsin Wins” completed compliance checks in Burnett, Pierce, Polk, Rusk and St. Croix counties. Among the five counties, 23 retailers sold to minors during checks this year while 89.5 percent of establishments were in compliance with the law which prohibits sales of tobacco to anyone under the age of 18. Burnett County had no sales to minors – 100 percent compliance.

Flu case numbers increasing

MADISON–The influenza season got off to a slow start in Wisconsin in 2015, but officials with the Department of Health Services (DHS) have noticed an increase in cases in the first weeks of 2016. DHS remind state residents it’s not too late to get a flu vaccine and take other actions to avoid illness. Health officials also encourage people who feel they may be getting the flu to contact their health care provider regarding the need for an anti-viral medication.

Former Gburg student charged with attempted homicide BY SUZANNE LINDGREN OSCEOLA SUN

OSCEOLA—An Osceola man has been charged with attempted second-degree intentional homicide after an apparent dispute late Sunday night (Jan. 31) left another man severely beaten and struggling to breathe when police arrived on the scene. According to the criminal complaint, a call came in at about 12:35 a.m. Feb. 1, reporting a disturbance in an apartment building. Osceola police responded to the call, which led to the apartment of Paul Krueger, 34. Krueger was slow to open the door and when he did, saw the officer and slammed the door shut saying he knew his rights. The officer spoke with neighbors, who reported hearing yelling,

banging and screaming from the apartment for about 45 minutes before calling 911. They’d heard a male yell, “Ow, stop hurting me,” repeatedly. They also heard a male yell, “I will wreck you!” to which another male responded, “Why are you hurting me?” The witnesses indicated that the noises had stopped when the squad car arrived in the building’s parking lot. The officer returned to Krueger’s apartment, now accompanied by two officers from the Polk County Sherriff’s Department, knocking on the door with intent to check the welfare of those inside. Krueger opened the door slightly and, according to the complaint, the officers pushed the door open and saw a severely injured, unconscious male on the floor, roughly 10

feet from the door. His breathing was labored and he was bleeding profusely from his head. The area around his eyes was bruised and puffy and he had bruises on the left side of his torso. The officers handcuffed Krueger, who resisted, and called an ambulance to the scene. First responders treated the victim for a trauma to the back of his head and brought him to the Osceola Medical Center. There the ER staff found a plumsized wad of paper towel in the victim’s airway. Transport was arranged to send the victim to Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Krueger has been charged with attempted second-degree intentional homicide, aggravated battery and obstructing an officer.

Grantsburg looks to future BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grantsburg Village Board meeting was all about the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideas for developing a prime piece of real estate; what to do with the airport; whether to allow a new type of housing; and welcoming an indoor water park. Community residents joined the board and in discussing how to grow the tax base, attract new residents, and make the community more appealing for new businesses and families. Meeting in Grantsburg Public Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new community room instead of the regular board chambers added a positive spin. The room was built entirely from private donations because of one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of what would improve the library, and provided proof of what can be accomplished when the community works together. A large, flat-screen TV recently purchased for the library through donations and fundraisers was used to show maps, proposals and agenda items, and served as further proof of the benefits of working together. Riverfront property ideas A special board meeting at 3 p.m. opened the floor to questions and ideas on what to do with the former Kozak property, an approximately three-acre space along the Wood River north of the Grantsburg Post Office, now free of the dilapidated structures that were razed in December. Suggestions for the site included duplex housing with river access while maintaining a public green space along the river bank; welcoming light manufacturing such as a medical equipment manufacturer; building a senior housing or an assisted living center with a river view; or leaving it as a green space to add to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor recreation space. Getting the property back on the tax roll with a new business held appeal for many as a way to raise local revenue and attract new residents through good jobs. No action was taken, and most agreed finding the right fit for the property may take a few years. Private airport operator? Turning the Grantsburg Municipal Airport over to a private operator, such as a non-profit pilotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group, dominated the airport discussion. To be eligible to receive federal airport funds, the village is required to show 10 aircraft are based at the airport. Presently only are three to five are there. A pilot at the meeting said that turning the operation over to pilots may attract more of them to the airport. Village President Glenn Rolloff said a

public-to-private transition could take years, due to multi-year hangar leases. He assured other board members and the public that the board would have signed developersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agreements in place before taxpayer money is spent on infrastructure. He referred to occasions where the village was left â&#x20AC;&#x153;holding the bagâ&#x20AC;? when developers walked away. Now the village will have signed documents and plans in writing, he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tiny homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Grantsburg? Lee Moyer of Grantsburg asked the board to consider changes to its zoning rules that would allow â&#x20AC;&#x153;tiny homesâ&#x20AC;? as small as 400 square feet, compared to the current requirements that require larger homes and lot sizes The board agreed that some of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irregular shaped-andsized lots may be well suited for such homes. But, no â&#x20AC;&#x153;shacksâ&#x20AC;? or homes on wheels would be allowed, board members agreed. It asked Moyer to do more research and come back again.

Indoor waterpark proposed Dave Volkmann of Grantsburg, who built the west-side complex that includes the hotel, restaurant, car wash, and laundry and is the hotel owner, presented general ideas to the board about adding a separate building to house a wading pool and three-foot-deep indoor pool with water slides. Volkmann said the pool would be open to private parties and exercise groups in addition to hotel guests. Discussion centered on water and sewer access across the private property. A straw poll of board members showed the unanimous informal approval that Volkmann was seeking before further investigation.

In other actions, the board: â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a plan to work together with the Town of Grantsburg to create a border road maintenance agreement at the Grantsburg Industrial Park area. â&#x20AC;˘ Discussed opening village streets for operating ATVs. The Town of Grantsburg is considering opening its roads for ATV usage. If approved at the Town level, the village board may consider opening some village streets to ATVs. â&#x20AC;˘ Reviewed a report of greater revenues and improving operations at the Grantsburg Golf Course, under the management of John Addison. â&#x20AC;˘ Learned from Grantsburg Public Library Director Kristina Kelley Johnson that library usage, and materials checked out from the library in 2015, were the highest they have ever been. She thanked the board for its financial and moral support for the library. Johnson, her staff and Friends of Library members provided lunch for the board and public during the two meetings that lasted from 3 to nearly 8 p.m.

Pirates outlast Cardinals BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Pirate boys basketball team took care of the Luck Cardinals Friday night, 75-67 in a well-played West Lakeland Conference battle. This was a good team win for the Pirates with a well balanced offensive game. Grantsburg had four players scoring in the double digits. John Chenal led the way with 20, followed closely by Jordan Knutson with 19. Leo Chenal was next with 15 points, and Jackson Gerber ended the list by scoring 14. The other seven points in the game came from Jaeger Staeven driving the lane for four points and Joseph Ohnstad hitting one threepoint bucket. “Luck has been playing really well of late, and tonight they proved that,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “We were able to do some things to start the second half

that we had stressed at the half that allowed us to make that first run. This was a good win against a quality conference opponent.” The first half was close with the Pirates holding on to a four point lead at the break, 35-31. The threepoint shooting was spot on by both teams, with each hitting five from behind the arc in the first half. Gerber hit three of the Grantsburg’s five long balls to lead the Pirates in scoring this half. The Pirates came out of the locker room charged up and ready to go, as they went on a run that left the Cardinals fighting to stay in the game the rest of the way. The Chenal brothers muscled their way down low to hoop, with Leo scoring 12 and John 11 this half. Knutson set up roots at the foul line in the second half, going 9 for 12. As a team the Pirates shot a total of 21 free throws the second half, making 12 of them.

Vikings cool Dragon ﬁre BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

FREDERIC—The Frederic Vikings cooled down the Dragons on Friday night with a 58-47 win over the Siren boys basketball team. “They played better than us,” related Coach Jon Ruud. “All season long we’ve had so many different line ups due to illness, injury or other reasons. Today we had an illness.” “I’m proud of our kids. We have two good seniors leading the way. We were down 16 or 17, but we fought back.” Siren was down at the intermission 29-20. Neil Oustigoff Jr. had 14 of the 20 Dragon tallies. Roman Poirier put in nine, Jonah Tinman added eight and Austin Ennis of Frederic led the Vikings with six in that first frame. The second half started with a 7-0 run

by the Vikings, but the Dragons battled back with an 8-0 run of their own. Frederic then had a 14-10 run before the next foul was called. Ennis tallied seven in that spurt for the Vikings. Oustigoff and Ruud each had five for the Dragons. Siren kept on battling so with 3:07 remaining, they trailed by just five, 52-47. The Dragons lost a rebound out of bounds and the Vikings capitalized on that by getting the Dragons to foul. They made both shots and now the score was 55-47 with two minutes remaining. Frederic scored three more and held the ball for the rest of the game and thus the final, 58-47. Neil Oustigoff led all scorers with 20. Aaron Ruud added 15 for the Dragons. Roman Poirier, Austin Ennis and Jonah Tinman were Frederic’s high scorers with 16, 15 and 14 points respectively. “Frederic wanted this game more than we did tonight,” added Coach Ruud. “It

Pirates shut down Vikings BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG–The Pirates hosted the Frederic Vikings on Monday night with Grantsburg walking away with the win, 7559. “A little adversity never hurts this time of year. We overcame some situations in the first half and came out in the second ready to put the game away,” says head coach of the Pirates, Nick Hallberg. The referees’ whistles were getting a workout the first half and the Pirates found themselves in some foul trouble early on. Jordan Knutson picked up two quick fouls and spent much of the half on the bench. Leo Chenal had the hot hand scoring for the Pirates early before picking up three fouls and heading to the bench. Jaeger Staeven was on offensively as well, driving the lane to the hoop, but he too picked up three fouls and had to sit. Despite the foul trouble, Grantsburg held a slight lead at the end of the first half, 35-31. John Chenal led the Pirate squad in scoring with 10 points. Staeven added nine, with Leo Chenal fighting down low for seven. Jackson Gerber hit two three-pointers scoring six. Knutson scored three before he headed to the bench. The brakes were off in the second half as the Pirates outscored the Vikings 40-28 to take the win. Grantsburg made a living in the paint with John Chenal scoring 18 this half to end his night with a game high 28 points. Knutson handled the ball and flew to the basket adding 16. Joseph Ohnstad and Leo Chenal each scored three. The Pirates will head to Siren on Friday night to

GRANTSBURG–“It was a really good game last night for both teams,” said Blizzard coach Andy Richardson of Monday night’s game. “We lost 1-0. They had a power play goal in the second and that was all they needed. We put up 44 shots on goal but couldn’t get past their goaltender. We had a lot of great opportunities, but just weren’t able to bury any of them.” “It was frustrating to lose but I was proud of how the boys battled all game long.” Blizzard goalie Taran Wols turned away 43 of 44 shots. It was a clean game as the Blizzard committed just three penalties to Pine City’s six. As of this reading, the Blizzard will have taken on Rice Lake at Rice Lake and will face Hayward at Hayward on Saturday at 1 pm. Regional play begins next Tuesday.

Ashland just edges by The Blizzard were definitely in this game. There

was no scoring in the first period. Ashland took a 2-0 advantage in the second period with goals at 8:40 and 11:16. The Blizzard came back with one of their own at 14:38. Max Norman got the goal with Brady Mangen getting the assist. In period three, each team got a goal. Ashland scored first at 1:47 and the Blizzard came in at 11:28 on one by Brady Mangen. Ruiz got the assist.

Blizzard turned away twice more EAU CLAIRE-The Burnett Blizzard lost two more games over the week, getting shut out by Regis-Altoona-McDonell 6-0 and just behind Ashland 3-2. “Not much too it last night, we played very poorly, we weren’t ready to go, came out flat and sloppy, not a good game,” commented Coach Andy Richardson. RAM (Regis-Altoona-McDonell) put two past Blizzard goalie Taran Wols in the first period in a spread of two minutes, three in the second in less than three minutes, and an additional goal in the last period. Wols turned away 30 of 36 shots on goal while the Blizzard managed only 13 on the RAM goalie.

Vikings too much for Pirates BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Frederic Vikings came to town to take on the Pirates on Monday night in a make up game from last week that had been postponed due to the weather. The lady Pirates faced a tough Vikings squad, with Grantsburg coming up short, 74-61. This was a closely played game with each team going on runs back and forth, until late in the second half when Frederic was able to pull away from the Pirates for good. The Pirates found themselves in early foul trouble and were unable to get into a groove defensively. On the night, the Vikings got the charity stripe 35 times to just 11 for the Pirates. Frederic jumped out to an early first half lead before the Pirates settled down and got going on the offensive end to claw their way back into the game. When time ran out the Pirates were down 31-30. Cassidy Lee had the hot hand in scoring this half with 18 points, knocking down three of her seven three-pointers she would have for the night. Janessa Bonneville came off the bench to score four. Violet Ohnstad, Jordyn McKenzie, Rhiana Pochman, and Britta Roufs all scored two each. The second half started good for the Pirates, but some lapses in defense allowed for some quick and easy points for the Vikings. Lee kept firing away, scoring 14 this half to end her night with a game high 32 points. Ohnstad and McKenzie each added five to the night’s total. Katie Curtin scored three with Olivia Tucker and Bonneville tossing in two each. “Our defense let us down tonight in key areas of the game,” Coach Penny Curtin said after the game. “Cassidy Lee shot the ball well on the offensive side of the ball.” The Pirates will head to Siren to take on the Dragons on Friday night for their last conference game. Game time is 5:45 p.m.

Cardinals control Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—“I don’t know what we were doing out there,” related a wondering coach Mat Wood of the Webster Tigers after the 37-18 loss on Monday night. “This wasn’t basketball that you wanted to watch, but that’s how it happens some time.” The Tigers and Cardinals were in a close defensive, sometimes mistake prone game for much of the first half. The Cardinals led at the intermission by a 17-10 margin. Tingo Mosher and Caitlyn Moser each had four for the Tigers. Lydia Wilson and Mahi Mosher each added a free throw to account for the Tiger scoring. Olivia Nielsen had eight for the Cardinals. A 13-4 run in the third quarter put some more space in the scoring for the Cardinals, boosting the score to 30-14. The Tigers just couldn’t seem to get a bucket for the remainder of the game, putting in only four more tallies, two on free throws by Lydia Wilson and then a field goal by Kaitlyn Moser at the end of the game. “Luck is a tough team,” commented Coach Wood. “I’ll need to pump up the girls for the next game. Winter is a non conference game and I hope we play our ‘A’ game or we’ll get beaten again. It’ll be tough, but I hope we’ll be ready to go.”

Pirates hang on for win over Cards BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg girls basketball team hosted the Luck Cardinals Friday night, with the lady Pirates coming away with the victory, 53-44. The first time these teams met in early January, Luck was able to squeak out a 42-39 win on their home court. The Pirates were looking to avenge that loss. The Pirates started fast and were ready to run away with this game, forcing the Cardinals into many errors and missed shots. At one point Grantsburg held a 12 point lead before Luck went on a surge to bring the game within two. The Pirates regained control and held a 10 point lead at the half, 25-15. Jordyn McKenzie led Grantsburg in scoring with eight. Olivia Tucker and Violet Ohnstad each scored six. Cassidy Lee added three and Janessa Bonneville ended the scoring this half with two points. “We came out and forced several turnovers early in the game. It was a nice start and Jordyn McKenzie was able to convert turnovers into points,” Pirates coach Penny Curtin said. In the second half Luck started to make their move to win this game, hitting their shots and playing solid defense. They outscored the Pirates 29-28 this half, but the hole from the first half was too much to overcome. The Pirate defense stood tall and shut down the Cards, while the offense kept driving to the basket. Lee was top scorer this half with 13 points. Tucker was next with six. McKenzie added three, with Rhiana Pochman, Katie Curtin, and Bonneville all scoring two each. “Our bench players came through nicely in this game with Katie Curtin leading the team in offensive rebounds, Janessa Bonneville scoring when we needed it, and Britta Roufs playing tough defense,” Curtin said. “Olivia Tucker has been picking up the pace and is a great leader on the court. Cassidy Lee is struggling with a knee injury but still led all scorers with 16 points.”

Dragons as she put in 14. Being down 19-11, Siren mounted a comeback. A 15-7 run got the Dragons back into the game and went into intermission tied at 26. Early in the second half, the teams exchanged points until Alseth got a basket and was fouled on the play. The three point play pushed Frederic’s edge to 36-34 and then the Vikings slowly pulled away. The closest the Dragons came after that was 47-44 on two free throws by Haley Peterson. The Vikings scored six points in a row before the Dragons could respond with a field goal by Sarah Shaffer. The teams played almost evenly as Frederic once again slowly pulled away to mount an 11 point advantage and hold on for the win. “We were playing well coming in to this game. We had won eight in a row.” “We’ve got to finish the season strong and then its the playoffs, and maybe we’ll see them again.” “But then again, anything can happen between now and then.”

SIREN–“The girls played a really good first and third period against the number one seeded team in our section,” said Coach Rick Quimby following the 8-2 setback by the Blizzard to Hayward on Monday night. “We were actually leading the game

ward several chances to score on multiple shots.” “The third period we came back out and ran our systems very well. We got another goal from McKenzie Johnson in the third on a very well executed break out play that resulted in a ‘2 on 1.’ “Mckenna Johnson had a fantastic first game back from injury facing 71 shots on net and a flurry of Hayward

players circling the net. “All in all I was very pleased and do believe we are playing our best hockey to date for the year. “Any time a program that is in a few rebuilding years can hold a lead on last year’s state runner up and #1 seed team in the section even for a short time is playing some pretty good hockey!”

WRESTLE: Conference winners looking forward to regional action on Saturday has worked hard all year. He got a take down on the kid in the semi’s,” said the coach. “Matt placed third last year, but this year he earned this win with three quality wins. He was pretty happy about how he did.” Adam Menke (145, 1-2) and Peter Lund (152, 2-1) got fifth and seventh places respectively. “Adam was in a tough weight class. He wrestled hard and earned his fifth place

“Parker wrestled well all day. In the finals, he was thrown and down 0-5 after the first (period). He was able to fight his way back to an 8-7 lead. While on top , he was caught in a roll and was pinned. He was pretty upset he couldn’t finish it out.” Merlin Hibbs (120) and Matthew Louis (220) each attained a third place finish, Hibbs going 1-1 and Louis 3-1. “Merlin

finish.” “Peter wrestled well all day. He was five seconds away from being in the finals. He had a disappointing last match. He lost to a kid he beat earlier.” “Brock Phernetton (195, 2-2) had a tough side of the bracket. I think there were some kids on the other side he could have beaten if he met up with them,” said Coach Bartlett. “I think overall the team did well. Taking fifth with only eight guys is good. We

have lost four kids this year due to injury and with them we could have pushed into the top two possibly. Some of the kids know that they could have done better. We are in a tough Regional and hopefully the guys are ready for a fight. Hopefully, we have a good week of practice and go into the tournament with the attitude that they have nothing to lose.” Regionals begin at 10:30 am. Saturday at Amery and Sectionals are at 10:30 am.

She shared these gifts in years of volunteer service for family, friends, and community. Connie’s door was always open; she truly was a servant of God. Family is what Connie was all about, putting God first. She loved and cared for Terry, followed closely by their blended family of five children and her eight grandchildren. One of her true joys was sharing time with the grandchildren in their accomplishments, attending their activities, and always lending a helping hand. She truly supported and encouraged her grandchildren to follow their dreams and showed them how to live by the Golden Rule. Think of her living in the hearts of those she touched, for nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much. Surviving family members include Terry Bowar, her husband of 28 years; their children, Todd Main (Laura), Troy Main, and Kerrie Washburn (Jarrod), Chad Bowar (Rita), and Jake Bowar; grandchildren Matthew and Madison, Jack, Owen, and Ava, Haylee, and Samantha and Jordan; brother Ronnie (Gloria) Johnson; sisters Margie (Gary) Weber and Phyllis (Ronald) Pardun; many other beloved family members including nieces, and nephews too numerous to list. The family prefers memorials to Siren Covenant Church or The American Cancer Society. We thank God for Connie. Special thanks to St. Croix Hospice and the Taylor Funeral Home.

24 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

WORSHIP

FEBRUARY 10, 2016

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Ash Wednesday Today, Wednesday, February 10, is Ash Wednesday. It is the day we begin the 40 day season of Lent which will take us right up to Palm Sunday, which is March 20 this year, and the Sunday before Easter. The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lentâ&#x20AC;? originally simply meant the â&#x20AC;&#x153;spring seasonâ&#x20AC;? and later took on the meaning of 40 days. The length of 40 days was a type of parallel to the length of the 40 day fast that Moses (Exodus 34:28), Elijah (I Kings 19:8), and Jesus (Matthew 4:2) went through.

As early as the Fourth Century the church fathers also saw this period of Lent as a time of fasting, but not necessarily every day, and as a time of preparation before Holy Week. Holy Week is the week between Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered Jerusalem as our Lord and King (Matthew 21:1-11), instituted Holy Communion during the Feast of Passover (Matthew26:26-29), was crucified and paid the price for our sins (Matthew 27:32-54), and Easter when Jesus conquered death and arose to give us eternal life with our Creator,

God (Matthew 28:1-10). Lent is a time of personal reflection and Ash Wednesday is a time of public repentance. Putting ashes on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head (Job 42:1-6) and wearing sackcloth was both a Biblical (Mt. 11:21 & Dan. 9:3) and a not to ancient way of public repentance and seeking after God. Ash Wednesday and this coming 40 day period of Lent is a reminder for us to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.â&#x20AC;? Jesus loves you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John 3:16
