Wisconsin Legislature okays Holmquist Highway MADISON—What started as a grassroots movement in November has reached Governor Scott Walker’s desk and is simply awaiting his stamp of approval. “The Carson Holmquist bill was passed in both the Senate and Assembly on February 16,” Terri Griffiths, communications director for Sen. Sheila Harsdorf office, said. “The bills are awaiting the governor’s signature.” At issue is the renaming of Highway 87 between Grantsburg and St. Croix Falls the “Carson Holmquist Memorial Highway.” Holmquist is the Grantsburg Marine who lost his life in a terrorist shooting in Chattanooga in July, 2015. “Carson was born in St. Croix Falls and raised in Grantsburg . We feel it’s only fitting to make the highway connecting both cities a memorial highway in his honor,” Katie Clifford explained. Holmquist Clifford was just one of many local residents who got the ball rolling. “Louie DeMarre created the petition and got this project started,” she continued. “There are a lot of us area and former Grantsburg residents trying to show our respect.” Harsdorf’s office got wind of the petition and together with Rep. Adam Jarchow, the two legislators wrote the bill which was heard in both Assembly and Senate committees before being passed by both houses last month. According to Clifford, the road would still be Hwy. 87, but there would be accompanying signs stating the road is the memorial highway for Sgt. Carson Holmquist, similar to the Shawn Silvera Memorial section of Interstate 35 south of Forest Lake, MN. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Citizens Against Poverty group joins Healthy Burnett BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The adage of “Two heads is better than one,” came to pass last month when a group of concerned individuals joined a second, more diverse, group of concerned individuals — in the spirit of “All for one and one for all,” Citizens Against Poverty (CAP) will now be joining forces with Healthy Burnett, whose mission is to “Engage community partners and members to work collaboratively to promote the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health of Burnett County and its residents.” “Over the past six months CAP has discussed merging with Healthy Burnett and decided that now the time is right,” Patti Hurd, co-facilitator of the CAP group, explained. “Both of our groups have similar missions that focus on improving the quality of life for people living in Burnett County, and both groups believe in forming partnerships to address the issues and root causes that prevent people from bettering their lives.” Hurd said a few CAP members were initially concerned about joining Healthy Burnett since their meetings have focused primarily on mental health for the past three years. “Mental Health was identified as the top priority three years ago as part of the findings from the Community Health Needs Assessment,” she pointed out. “This assessment needs to be completed every three years.” In fact, that assessment is part of the reason that now is the right time to join forces. “This is a great time for CAP to join Healthy Burnett because over the next two months Healthy Burnett will be completing their Community Health Needs Assessment,” Hurd continued. “They will share their findings during a morning meeting on Friday, April 15 starting at 8 a.m.” The meeting is set for room 165 of Burnett County Government Center. “We are encouraging people to attend this meeting, and become part of the process of addressing priority areas identified by Burnett County residents and CAP will continue to focus on how poverty impacts and/or is influenced, by the identified priority areas,” Hurd

Patti Hurd

added. “We will also begin to develop a plan for addressing the identified top needs.” But there are other reasons for the merger. “We discussed CAP becoming one of the subgroups of Healthy Burnett and developing relationships with additional partners as we identify achievable outcomes on issues that impact the root causes of poverty in Burnett County,” Hurd remarked. “This will help CAP become more holistic in our focus on poverty, and create a stronger communication channel with other local groups.” Speaking of communication, joining forces will also help in that regard. “Both CAP and Healthy Burnett have identified the need for improved communication,” she reported. “CAP hopes that by becoming a subgroup of Healthy Burnett, we will have a closer relationship with potential groups, reduce the number of meetings members attend, and will be part of a strong communication source — the Healthy Burnett website.” Hurd was quick to point out the group can only be as strong as its members. “As with all of CAP’s activities, we will only be able to have an impact if there are dedicated individuals willing to volunteer their time to help achieve our goals,” Hurd concluded. Healthy Burnett meets on the 3rd Monday of each month, from 1-2:30pm, in Room 165, Burnett County Government Center.

MARCH 2, 2016

Casting your ballot It’s that time of year again. There’s always an internal debate each spring — does the Burnett County Sentinel feature all races in the general election in April or simply the contested races? I can see logic on both sides of the coin. If you’re a trustee in Siren, for example, why bother with a profile when, given there are two people running for three seats, you are most certainly guaranteed re-election. The flip side, however, is the need for the public to know who is representing them in whatever form of government — whether it’s school board, village board or county board. I only waffle because, no offense to anyone, it’s like pulling teeth to get these uncontested Seems to candidates to file a profile — most don’t understand the need. Me That being said, I just sent election profile letters to the Todd Beckmann candidates in the three contested races throughout the county. Those profiles will be featured in the March 23 edition. Parity is not limited just to the NFL as there is a race from each of the three divisions. And for bonus coverage, there is one county board member who is not running and only one candidate on the ballot for his seat so I sent him a profile request as well. I always find it amazing that as much as people complain about the seemingly unending upward climb of our taxes or any of a number of other issues, elections come and go and those same complainers are willing to let others continue to serve. I guess they find it easier to complain than roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. I’m not usually one to complain. I don’t like seeing my taxes going up anymore than the next guy but I sit in enough meetings and talk to enough people to know my elected officials are doing their best to keep taxes in line — after all, those people pay the same taxes I do. Rather than vilifying them for whatever decision they make which you don’t happen to agree with, why not come to grips with the idea they made the best choice they could given the options they were facing. That’s why the idea of a seven-member board, like a school board or a village board, is so appealing. Not only does the odd number prevent any tie votes, it’s seven perspectives on each issue. Yes, five members might think paving whatever street is the best use of that village’s street budget but the other two members might be able to realistically argue the benefits of why the money ought to be spent patching pieces of 12 streets instead of just fixing the one. These candidates are willing to go to the mat for their constituents so the least you can do when April 5 comes around, is to make time in your day to go vote. Polling places are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. And since most employers abide by the rule which allows employees work time (within reason) to go do their civic duty, the polls are open early enough and long enough to allow for people to cast a ballot when its convenient for them.

Is this better —or this? I celebrated my 55th birthday last month with a quiet family gathering and meal. The birthdays just keep on coming, despite my best efforts to ignore their annual reminder that I am getting older. It was great fun when my wife received her first invitation to join the American Association of Retired From the Persons (AARP), Publisher’s not so funny when I received my first Desk invitation. But you need to Tom Stangl go with the flow, because there really isn’t any choice, is there? Another bonus of living to age 55 is getting to qualify for senior discounts and special meals at eating establishments. I tell myself that this is a bonus, but inside I secretly hate to admit that I am reaching the age where I can get these things. I began going gray and losing my hair in my teens. I have fought the good fight to try to keep my hair, but as it has retreated, I have adapted my haircut and kept a beard. Even my facial hair has decided to go gray, so I am who I am.

Any thought of coloring my hair or beard, or getting a hairpiece has been quickly dismissed with a hearty laugh by me when I envision how silly I would look. To those who do color their hair or don a hairpiece, if it makes you feel better, more power to you. It just isn’t my thing. Last week, I went to get my vision checked. I have been letting this slide for a while, I guess because my subconscious need to not get older would collude with my natural predilection to procrastinate, effectively causing me to “forget” to make the appointment. Every member of my family wore eyeglasses. Some had them before the fifth grade, I was able to hold out until high school, and even then I didn’t wear them as much as I probably should have done. It wasn’t until I began working in newspapers, spending time doing close work on pasteups and eventually computer screens that my vision began departing. My first set of glasses, picked out at the ripe age of 15 without any input, were big bulky things with photo-gray lenses that doubled as sunglasses of sorts. I did the slightly rose tinted aviators in the 1980s and 90s and switched to my current pair of rim-

less glasses about six years ago. I don’t think I could do the contact lens thing. Putting my fingers in my eyes kind of gives me the willies. I understand the appeal for people who can afford it to have numerous frames to wear. I also find it interesting that frames that were popular 40 to 50 years ago are making a comeback in a slightly different, updated form. Even the old 1970s era military issue frames, known facetiously as “birth control” frames by friends who wore them because they were so ugly, are back. I hope I have chosen frames that will wear well, since it will (hopefully) be a few years before I go back and need to get replacements. But the beauty of life is that we can all be unique. Hairstyles, clothing and even eyewear can make us feel better about who we are as people. And, in the end, that is what matters. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875 The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.

Earth notes

Reducing material consumption BY: JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION

Materialism has become a central value in modern America. By materialism, I mean that we increasingly identify ourselves by what we own. Material accumulation is valued as a means to happiness and even implies a moral obligation to the economy itself. However, has this focus on material accumulation made us happier or more fulfilled? My answer to that is, “NO!” I have compiled a list of some easy things to consider when cutting down on our material consumption: Avoid styrofoam Avoid using carry-out containers, particularly those that are made of Styrofoam. In restaurants, ask for aluminum foil or cardboard, or bring your own container from home. I have never considered this before, but why not bring your own container from home? At times, I will over-stuff myself when eating out just so I don’t have to acquire the dreaded Styrofoam carryout container. There are no recycling options available for Styrofoam (even though you will sometimes see the triangular recycling symbol on the bottom) in our area. Use reusable containers Use reusable containers to store food if feasible. This is one I feel strongly about, or, when packing lunches for kids, ask them to not throw away the plastic baggies and leave them in their lunch box. Wash and dry and your ready for another cold lunch! Use durable plates, tableware, glasses and cups rather than disposables. Do people actually use disposable utensils still? Of course there are times when it is unavoidable, however you can still wash them up and reuse them again and again. Using things more than once – many times, if possible – wastes fewer natural resources and saves transportation costs and fuel. Being frugal feels good, too! Avoid paper towels Use sponges and cleaning rags rather than paper towels. We all know a cloth towel isn’t as easy

as a paper towel and I am not saying to never use paper towels but try to cut back. We have all been there; you are out of paper towels and are forced to find alternative methods. Why not limit yourself, say to one roll a month and see how you do. At the very least you will find yourself conserving the ones you have. Give and/or buy used clothing, furniture, books, equipment, from secondhand, consignment, antique stores, classified ads, garage sales, charities, used equipment dealers, friends or neighbors. Use the library to check out books, movies audio-books and music. Some even have passes to attractions like the zoo or museum for you to check out and return. This is such a great idea! Compost Compost vegetable scraps (not meat and dairy products) with yard waste for great organic compost, at least in summer months. Buy reusable and refillable items, such as coffee filters and razors. Purchase and use a reusable coffee filter rather than disposable paper filters. Use the small plastic bags your newspaper comes in as a “glove” when cleaning up after your dog when you walk him/her. Reuse bread bags and grocery store produce bags to store food and other items at home or as pet waste bags. Save coat hangers and return them to the cleaners, or donate to secondhand stores. Use both sides of paper. Set your printer to print on both sides, all the time! Buy products that are packaged in containers that are locally recyclable. For example, buy canned soup rather than instant which is often over-packaged in non-recyclable materials. Use durable shopping bags or reuse bags when shopping.

Burn Barrels – an unhealthy way of dealing with trash Did you know that an estimated 500,000 burn barrels are still

being used today in the State of Wisconsin? Burning a barrel of trash in your back yard can release the same amount of dioxin and furan into the atmosphere as a well-controlled municipal waste incinerator serving thousands of residents, a recent study by the Environmental Protection Agency concludes. Deadly compounds Dioxins and furans belong to a class of compounds known to have harmful effects on laboratory animals. It’s also believed they may pose serious dangers to humans. Burn barrels may also emit vapors, carcinogenic tars (cancer), and “heavy metals” such as lead, cadmium and chromium, and unhealthy levels of carbon dioxide. According to the EPA, open burning of household waste in barrels is potentially one of the largest sources of airborne dioxin and furan emissions in the U.S. The only acceptable material to burn in a burn barrel is DRY leaves, plant clippings, paper, cardboard and clean untreated wood, that’s it. NOT garbage or plastic, not metals or petroleum products, not rubber, treated wood or asphalt! Burn barrels operate at low temperatures (400-500 degrees F), resulting in incomplete combustion of the wastes being burned. Don’t pollute your back yard The EPA shows that each pound of garbage burned emits twice as many furans, 20 times more dioxins and 40 times more particulates that if that same pound of garbage were burned in an incinerator with air pollution controls. Ash (particulates) can damage lungs, cause bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer, and can seriously affect people with asthma or certain allergies. Debris burning is the number one cause of fires in Wisconsin. Before burning, consider more environmental friendly options such as composting, recycling, or brush piles for wildlife habitat.

seat belt. The disturbing results come as 556 fatalities occurred on Wisconsin roads in 2015, a 13 percent increase that preliminary federal estimates indicate is part of a national trend. “There is a culture of indifference for far too many drivers when it comes to road safety,” said Peter Kissinger, President and CEO of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. “The vast majority of motorists believe they are more careful than others on the road, though most of them are not making safe decisions while behind the wheel. We’re asking every driver to make responsible decisions to make the roads safer for everyone.” The report finds that one in three drivers have had a friend or relative seriously injured or killed in a crash, and one in five have been involved in a crash that was serious enough for someone to go to the hospital. Common unsafe behaviors include:

Distracted Driving More than two in three drivers (70 percent) report talking on a cell phone while driving within the past 30 days. Nearly 1 in 3 drivers (31 percent) report doing this fairly often or regularly. More than two in five drivers (42 percent) admit to reading a text message or email while driving in the past 30 days, while 12 percent report doing this fairly often or regularly. Nearly one in three drivers (32 percent) admit to typing or sending a text or email over the past month, while eight percent say they do so fairly often or regularly. Over 80 percent of drivers view distracted driving as a bigger problem than three years ago. Previous research by NHTSA estimates that distracted driving is a factor in at least 3,000 deaths per year, though the actual number is likely much higher. Drivers who take their eyes off the road for more than two seconds can double their risk of being in a crash.

Speeding Nearly half of all drivers (48 percent) report going 15 mph over the speed limit on a freeway in the past month, while 15 percent admit doing so fairly often or regularly. About 45 percent of drivers report going 10 mph over the speed limit on a residential street in the past 30 days, and 11 percent admit doing so fairly often or regularly. Previous research by NHTSA estimates that speed plays a factor in nearly 10,000 deaths per year. Drivers are more likely to be seriously injured or killed at higher speeds, and speeding increases the risk of being in a crash because there is less time and distance available to respond.

Drowsy Driving Nearly one in three drivers (32 percent) say they have driven when they were so tired they had a hard time keeping their eyes open in the past 30 days. More than one in five (22 percent) admitted doing this more than once during that time. Previous research by the AAA Foundation estimates that drowsy driving is a factor in an average of 328,000 crashes annually, including 109,000 crashes that result in injuries and 6,400 fatal crashes.

Red-light Running

More than one in three drivers (39 percent) admit to having driven through a light that had just turned red when they could have stopped safely during the past 30 days. About one in four drivers (26 percent) reported doing this more than once during that time. Previous research by NHTSA estimates that 697 people were killed and 127,000 were injured in crashes that involved red-light running in 2013.

Seat Belt Use

Nearly one in five drivers (18 percent) report driving without a seat belt within the past 30 days, and more than one in seven (15 percent) admit to doing this more than once. Previous research by NHTSA estimates that nearly half of all vehicle occupants who died in a crash in 2013 were unrestrained at the time of the crash. Seat belts can reduce the risk of fatal injury by more than 45 percent.

Impaired Driving

More than one in eight motorists (13 percent) report driving when their alcohol level might have been near or over the legal limit within the past 12 months. About nine percent of drivers report doing this more than once over the past year. Previous research by NHTSA estimates that there are nearly 10,000 deaths a year from crashes involving drivers with a BAC of .08 or higher, and impaired-driving crashes cost the country more than $50 billion per year.

“Traffic crashes are not inevitable. We all have the ability to make driving safer for everyone”, said Nick Jarmusz, director of public affairs for AAA Wisconsin. “By staying focused, sober and patient while behind the wheel, each of us has the power to reduce the number of needless deaths and injuries on our roadways every year.” The new survey results are part of the AAA Foundation’s annual Traffic Safety Culture Index, which identifies attitudes and behaviors related to driver safety. The survey data are from a sample of 2,442 licensed drivers ages 16 and older who reported driving in the past 30 days. The AAA Foundation issued its first Traffic Safety Culture Index in 2008, and the latest report is online atwww.AAAFoundation.org .

ROBBER: Prison time ordered CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

of robbing an Eau Claire gas station. White was also ordered to pay $14,171 in restitution for the bank robberies. He pled guilty last November to the 2014 robberies of Shell Lake State Bank in Stone Lake and Bremer Bank in Danbury. White was involved with Jesse Sweeter, 21, and Kyle Langner, 24, both of Rice Lake, in three bank robberies in northwest Wisconsin in 2014. On May 2, 2014, White and Sweeter, both armed, robbed Shell Lake State Bank in Stone Lake. Langner drove the getaway vehicle. On May 28, White was armed while robbing Bremer Bank in Danbury. Langner again drove the getaway vehicle. On July 16, Sweeter was armed while robbing Sterling Bank in Rice Lake.

Last July, Sweeter was sentenced to 114 months in federal prison for his role in the Shell Lake State Bank and Sterling Bank robberies. On January 6, 2016, Langner was sentenced to 114 months in federal prison for his participation in the Shell Lake State Bank and Bremer Bank robberies. Participating in the investigation were the Federal White Bureau of Investigation, Sheriff offices of Barron, Burnett, Sawyer, Chippewa and Washburn counties; and Rice Lake and Eau Claire Police Departments. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Julie S. Pfluger and Timothy M. O’Shea handled the prosecution.

CHALLENGE: Councilwoman to run against Sen. Harsdorf in November CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“By coming together, we can reinvest in our schools, tackle the student debt crisis, reverse the Madison assault on local control, and ensure that our small business owners and entrepreneurs have the infrastructure they need to succeed.” Diane Odeen’s Wisconsin roots run deep. She grew up on a dairy farm near Black River Falls, where her family has lived since the 1850’s. In 1992, she and her husband Michael moved to River Falls, where they raised their two daughters. On the River Falls City Council since 2013, Diane has been a respected and effective community leader for years. An attorney in private practice, she serves as vice-chair of “FORWARD: The River Falls Public Schools Education Founda-

tion.” She co-founded the River Falls Community Theatre, is a past president of the River Falls Rotary Club, and is an active member of her church. Like Wisconsinites everywhere, Diane loves our state and takes pride in its traditions of public service, volunteerism, hard work, and community. Diane is running as a Democrat. Her experience on the City Council has convinced her that communities are best served when both parties work together toward shared values, such as access to quality public education and economic opportunities, local control and protection of natural resources, and a strong physical and telecom infrastructure that entrepreneurs and business owners need to keep our economy growing.

NOVEL IDEAS It’s fun to fantasize about what life would be like with pots of money — with the fame and fortune that comes with movie-picture stardom, nights of elegant parties hobnobbing with the rich and famous, days spent in a mansion with a butler at the door, the only pressing commitment a tennis match on your backyard court. While most of us won’t achieve that level of wealth, it’s possible to imagine this lifestyle when reading “The Gilded Life of Matilda Duplaine,” by Alex Brunkhorst. The author uses her background as a real-estate agent, dealing with multi-million-dollar estates in Los Angeles, to craft a love story laced with mystery, set in affluent Bel Aire, Calif. It’s a rich girl, poor boy narrative with Matilda at center stage, a gorgeous, unworldly beauty that journalist Thomas Cleary falls for when he’s on assignment for the Los Angeles Times. Opportunities for love, and intrigue, began after Thomas interviews Lily Goldman, the wealthy daughter of Joel Goldman, recently deceased — a “legendary and epic” movie studio mogul. Lily takes a liking to Thomas, a Harvard grad who’s worked hard to get where he is, but is still reeling from a doomed love affair in Manhattan and an unfair accusation in his career that’s threatened to damage his reputation. When Lily invites Thomas to a dinner party at her friend David’s house, there’s some confusion about the address and Thomas happens onto Matilda playing tennis. He’s immediately taken with her; the feeling is mutual, but obstacles stand in the way. Matilda exists in an environment shrouded in secrets. Her bizarre life is as far from normal as one can possibly imagine.

To say more would give the plot away in a book that leans toward being schmaltzy at times, but remains entertaining because it keeps you guessing about what skeletons lie in the Goldmans’ closet, among all those designer shoes and clothes. * * * * * Disturbing yet hypnotic, I was instantly drawn to Kenneth Oppel’s audio book “The Nest.” The master storyteller reeled me in as I listened, unsettled, yet mesmerized. Here’s a young adult crossover with appeal to those who relish a brilliantly imagined novel with a universal theme. Actor/filmmaker Gibson Frazier narrates “The Nest,” cleverly portraying a handful of characters. The inflections in his voice are formidable as steps into the role of innocent Stephen and his nemesis, a beguiling female who magnetizes the child with a gentle, velvety voice of compassion and kindness. Her species is best left for readers to discover for themselves. “The Nest” is horror at its finest — like many classics in that genre it features a lonely child, unsure and frightened, unable to go to an adult for help. Stephen is a vulnerable boy, beset with anxiety, a child who suffers from nightmares and sees a terrifying form at the foot of his bed, a reoccurring vision that causes him continued distress. Stephen’s parents know about his anxiety but are consumed with worry about their newborn son Theo, a baby with “broken parts” a heart that will require surgery as soon as he is strong enough to undergo an operation. With his family’s attention directed elsewhere, Stephen has yet another

WISCONSIN BRIEFING

Report ﬁnds noncompliance with ignition interlock devices MADISON (AP)—Wisconsin judges have ordered tens of thousands of ignition interlock devices installed on the vehicles of convicted drunken drivers over the past several years. But state Department of Transportation figures show that just over half of the defendants involved have had the devices installed in their vehicles. WISC-TV reports that nearly 54,350 devices were ordered to be installed on the vehicles of convicted offenders, while only about 30,750 of the devices were issued. The installers that contract with the state report when the ignition interlock devices are installed, and the device itself is monitored. Offenders who don’t fulfill their sentence and install the devices will receive a traffic citation if they’re caught, but it’s not considered a crime under state law.

Most Wisconsin residents want Congress to ﬁll Scalia seat on Supreme Court MADISON (AP)—A new poll shows a majority of Wisconsin residents want there to be a vote on a replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia this year. The Marquette University Law School poll released Thursday shows 51 percent of respondents want the U.S. Senate to vote on a replacement this year. Forty percent want the Senate to wait until 2017. The vacancy has become an issue in Wisconsin’s Senate race, with Republican incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson opposing action this year and Democratic challenger Russ Feingold wanting Obama to nominate someone this year. The poll shows Feingold leading Johnson 49 percent to 37 percent. The poll of 802 registered voters was conducted between Feb. 18-20 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

night visitor — this one comforting, a voice Stephen initially believes is coming from an angel. The ethereal presence gradually reels Stephen in before offering him a fix to his family’s problem, a way out that only Stephen can provide. All is has to do is say “yes” to her solution. If Stephen will cooperate, his baby brother will end up being “perfect,” and who doesn’t want “perfect” in their lives, she asks. Caught in the clutches of a horrific situation, Stephen wavers, in a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat — an eerie story in which evil springs from the most unlikely of characters, as does redemption. * * * * * Having read little of Mark Twain’s work, other than “Huckleberry Finn,” and even less nonfiction about the writer’s life, I was in for an awakening when I plucked “Twain’s End,” by Lynn Cullen, from my bookshelf. The novel is historical fiction, but is based on research about Twain and his secretary of six-plus years, Isabella V. Lyon. Their relationship ended badly, with Clemens firing her and slandering her name. It seems Samuel Clemens created a manufactured image of Mark Twain that he presented to the world. Underneath the humorist’s affable nature was a conniving unhappy man, with a twisted psyche, the product of an unhappy upbringing by a slave-holding father. “Twain’s End” focuses on Clemens when he was in his 70s, and his white hair matched the white suit he took to wearing, no matter the season or temperature.

P lan the

The book opens in 1909, after Isabella has been in Clemens employ for a few years. Isabella and Clemens have had a falling out, and the proposal of marriage Isabella has long expected is in jeopardy because of an incident with Clemens’ headstrong daughter Clara. She’s always resented her father’s affection for Isabella and treats her like a servant. The story then shifts to the past, detailing Isabella’s introduction to Clemens when she was just 25, and a governess for a well-to-do family, the Whitmores. When Mr. Whitmore is invited to the Clemens’ house for cards, Isabella is encouraged to go along to “fill out the table.” Though married, albeit to an ailing wife, Clemens was attracted to Isabella, as he’d been to many other women. He admired Isabella’s beauty and pluck. The master of the Whitmore household did too — when his wife noticed her husband’s attentions to Isabella, she insisted the governess resign her position. Thirteen years later, Isabella took a job as a personal secretary in the Clemens’ employ. Thus began a tumultuous relationship between the author and a woman much younger than him who endured his mistreatment of her, as did most other people in Samuel Clemens’ life. “Twain’s End,” is a fascinating book about a complicated writer who remains an enigma, even though his life has been dissected by numerous biographers, including Ron Powers in “Mark Twain, A Life,” which has been added to my “must read” list.

Surprise ingredient of 2016? Kale had a stellar year. Kale this, kale that. I must have had a sweet tooth this past year because I wrote about and created more sugary recipes than in previous years. Maybe, I subconsciously tried to balance the role kale was playing in our lives. My favorite recipe in 2015 was butter-rum yule log cookie. I think it was my favorite because it surprised meâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I never really liked anything rum flavored. Food surprises, I think, come from being surprised by a chef or cook who can take something that a large population doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for and make it irresistible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is magical! What will be the next food surprise of 2016? I have my suspicions. Are you ready? Drum roll please, I think the new item will be beer. Beer has always been a major cooking ingredient, but there is something new brewing (pun intended). I think beer battered this and beer flavored that will be the new 2016 item. Many trendy restaurants already have it on their menus, like beer battered chicken topped with stout gravy, beer cheese dip, foods cooked in beer, bread, beer chili. With all the new beer flavors out there, the sky is the limit! This could get interesting. For now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stick with Wisconsin style beer cheese soup.

Beer cheese soup Adapted from Jonathon Erdeliacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe, Food and Wine Magazine 1/2 pound bacon, chopped into Âźâ&#x20AC;? bits 1 celery rib, finely chopped 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 large jalapeĂąo, seeded, pith removed and chopped 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp chopped thyme

12 ounces rich flavored beer, but not too dark, like a lager or pilsner 2 1/4 cups chicken broth 4 Tbsp butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup half and half 1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 4 ounces smoked cheddar cheese, shredded Salt and pepper to taste

Add the half and half, cheeses and the remaining beer and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in bacon pieces and season with salt and pepper.

You can deduct the real estate taxes you pay on property in the year you pay them. Ex: You received a bill in January 2016, but you prepaid it in December 2015. This means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ll deduct the amount on your 2015 return.

Statements from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) also report real estate and property taxes. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll receive a HUD statement when you buy or sell property. The statement lists the taxes paid by both the buyer and seller.

Your mortgage lender might pay your real estate taxes from an escrow account. If so, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll send you Form 1098. This form will report any real estate taxes you paid. You should receive your 1098 by Jan. 31, 2016. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, contact your mortgage lender.

If your condo association charges you a special fee, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deduct it as real estate tax. These fees are considered condo fees. However, you can deduct any amount of your fee that covers property taxes. If the condo association sends you a statement, it should tell you the amount of property tax the fees covered.

To deduct property taxes, all of these must apply: â&#x20AC;˘ The tax is imposed on personal property. â&#x20AC;˘ The tax must be ad valorem. This means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly in proportion to the value of the personal property. â&#x20AC;˘ The tax is imposed on an annual basis, even if collected more or less than once per year.

amount to some, you could award a percentage of each request to all applicants, the applications could be ranked and awarded that way or we could use a lottery system to determine who gets awarded and who would be listed as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;high priorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the next round of grants,â&#x20AC;? he described. Ed Peterson, committee chair, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pick and choose because he deemed them each worthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking at immediate dollars into the tourism industry this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my bottom line,â&#x20AC;? he said. There was at least one application where a specific 2016 event was not being targeted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trail kiosks project is a good one but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an event happening this year,â&#x20AC;? member Norm Bickford

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resource committee has awarded $15,480 in grants funds to help further special events and to help bring visitors to Burnett County. In trying something different during the last budget cycle, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism budget, instead of being spent on the Burnett County Tourism Center and various tourism promotions throughout the county, was placed in a fund set aside for tourism or tourism-related grants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set up these funds as a partnership with these non-profits to help events move forward,â&#x20AC;? Mike Kornmann, community development agent, explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see this as a way to help promote â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;destinationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; events.â&#x20AC;? To that end, non-profit organizations were invited to submit an application explaining who they were, what event they are hosting and the grant amount they were seeking. The award selection was postponed from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting so members could get a better understanding of the six applicants and the amount they were seeking. For the record, the application requests totaled $20,398 while the grant budget was set at $15,480. With more requested than what was available, Kornmann identified several ways the committee could award the funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could award the full

pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe we fund the five other applicants and highlight the kiosk project as a priority for next time.â&#x20AC;? But member Chuck Anderson was looking ahead to 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The map and brochure request from the Siren Chamber of Commerce probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be repeated next year because that map will be good for several years,â&#x20AC;? he opined. There was discussion on the level of each application. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure these groups will be happy with whatever they get,â&#x20AC;? Peterson remarked. He then pulled out his calculator and offered some grant funds to each applicant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award $1,500 to the Adventure Triathlon (had requested $1,500), $2,000 to the Taste of the Trail ($2,485), $3,000 to the Burnett County Tourism Coalition ($3,000), $3,000 to the Siren Chamber of Commerce ($3,913), $3000 to the Gandy Dancer Fly-in ($4,500) and $3,000 to the Grantsburg Revitalization Organization for its kiosk project ($5,000),â&#x20AC;? Peterson proposed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way, everyone is funded and I like the idea of everyone getting something.â&#x20AC;? The motion passed without a negative vote. Member Larry Main abstained because he is a member of one of the applying organizations. Member Gene Olson urged the county to include a note with the checks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tell them we found this to be the most equitable way to divide the funds,â&#x20AC;? he concluded.

The Navy is uniquely positioned to be there. The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oceans give the Navy the power to protect Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests anywhere, and at any time. The Navy protects and defends America on the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oceans. Navy ships, submarines, aircraft

and, most importantly, tens of thousands of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest young men and women, are deployed around the world doing just that. They are there now. They will be there when we are sleeping tonight. They will be there every Saturday, Sunday and holiday this year. They are there around the clock, far from our shores, defending America at all times.

When an author comes to town

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

Blitzen is a grey and white, 11 pound, eight-yearold male cat. This fellow came in as a stray, but was already neutered and declawed. Obviously, he was owned and cared for, but nobody has come forward to claim him. Blitzen is a sweet, mellow boy and his fur is soft as a bunny. Another plus is that he doesn’t seem to shed much. Blitzen is very lucky because he is currently housed in a make-shift dog kennel, with much more room – not to mention that staff and volunteers can enter his kennel for a visit. It’s too bad his previous owners didn’t check with local shelters and vets, as they would have been reBlitzen united with this wonderful feline. I wouldn’t recommend declawing a cat that you intend on letting outdoors. And, you are always taking a risk every time you let your cat outside. However, I do know that cats can escape – no matter how hard you try to be careful. I know this from personal experience with my cat! With all the Sherlock positive qualities, my hope is that Blitzen finds a home soon. Sherlock is a one-year-old Treeing Walker - Coonhound mix. Like Blitzen, he is a pretty mellow fellow who, I’ve been told, is good on a leash. Sherlock is a big dog, but very skinny at the moment. He knows the “sit” command, but really wanted to be at my level – so delicately jumped up and put his paws on my shoulders. No matter how many times I told Sherlock to sit (and he would), he really wanted to be up close and personal. He didn’t want to lick me, and he was so gentle that I hardly knew he was slow dancing with me. With Sherlock’s beautiful tricolor coat and those sad eyes… Just one look, and you’ll fall so hard! If you are interested in adopting Blitzen, Sherlock, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096.

New collectible poster celebrates St. Croix River’s water, wildlife, and eology ST. CROIX RIVER COUNTRY—St. Croix 360 is proud to premiere a one-of-a-kind poster designed by Minnesota artist Wade Wenzel, celebrating the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. The poster is now available on the See America Project website – and each purchase will support river conservation. The “See the St. Croix” poster features a sturgeon, a living fossil, a hundred years old, the species 200 million years old, a conservation success story; clean waters, shimmering and crystal clear on hot August days, when boaters floating over shallow water might spy a sturgeon below; and its geology, in the cobblestones, forged by volcanoes, carried by glaciers and floods. Poster creator Wade Wenzel is a Minnesota illustrator and graphic designer who “enjoys creating things, paddling, and daydreaming of one while doing the other.” Wade graduated from Stillwater Area High School in 1998 and frequently canoes, kayaks, and fishes the St. Croix. “The river is still so great because of people and groups that work to protect it,” says Wenzel. “That’s why we’re trying to help the St. Croix River Association keep doing what it’s doing.” Two dollars from every purchase will be donated to the organization. Posters are available in two sizes and framed or unframed. Each poster is hand-printed in Los Angeles.

Matte paper and high quality inks make for a vibrant image. “Wade really captured the St. Croix River’s magic in this design,” says St. Croix 360 editor Greg Seitz. “It’s modern in appearance but it has an ancient feeling that the river often brings out.” The poster can be purchased at this link: http://bitly.com/SeeStCroixRiver. See America is a “a crowd-sourced art campaign, enlisting artists from all 50 states to create a collection of artwork celebrating our national parks and other treasured sites.” It harkens back to a Great Depression-era program to hire artists to showcase America’s natural wonders. It is a partnership between the Creative Action Network and the National Parks Conservation Association.

Wild mushroom classes with Luck Community Education With the hint of spring in the air, many people get the itch to hunt for wild mushrooms. Luck Community Education has lined up three different classes to help, whether you’re a beginner or need a refresher course on identifying mushrooms. All the classes will be taught by Tavis Lynch, a 30year veteran who’s certified by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. He also owns Tavis’s Mushrooms, an exotic mushroom farm near Cumberland. Wild Mushrooms 101 ‘Wild Mushrooms 101’ is scheduled from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, March 1 and 3. This is a classroom session covering the ‘three rules + one’ and the ‘safe six’: Morels, shaggy manes, hen of the woods, chicken mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and puffballs. Topics include tree identification, ethics, safety, storage and preparation. Poisonous mushrooms will also be discussed. Pre-register by Feb. 29. There is a class fee and reduced rate for those 62 and better. Spring edibles The Wild Mushrooms class from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Mondays, March 14 and 21 and will focus on spring edibles. Learn to identify, harvest and prepare wild morel mushrooms. Students will learn to identify all forms of true and false morels, as well as how to prepare them for the table. Oyster mushrooms, Pheasants Back mushrooms, and several edible spring plants will also be discussed. Emphasis will be put on safety and ethical

harvest. Pre-register by March 7. There is a class fee and reduced rate for those 62 and better.

The Genus Russula Wild Mushrooms 301: The Genus Russula class is one night only, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Monday, April 4. The genus Russula includes some very beautiful and interesting species of forest mushrooms. Many are very hard to distinguish. Because russulas are typically fairly large, and because they are often brightly colored, amateur mushroomers are frequently interested in identifying them. Class members will learn about the edible and toxic species, and also look at closely related and similar looking mushrooms. Relationships with trees and other plants and fungi will also be discussed. As a follow-up to the 101 class, participants can start narrowing identification searches as you become familiar with this common group of mushrooms. Pre-register by March 28. There is a class fee and reduced rate for those 62 and better. Pre-registration is required for all mushroom classes. Contact Amy Aguado at Luck Community Education at 715-472-2152 ext. 103 or amya@lucksd. k12.wi.us to secure your spot on the roster and for room directions.

Grantsburg/Luck gymnastics team state-bound BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

RIVER FALLS—The Grantsburg-Luck gymnastics team broke the school record with a 136.825, coming in second place and qualifying for the State Gymnastics Meet this coming weekend. Jessee Lerud was Sectional Champion in the balance beam, uneven bars and all-around. She placed third in the vault and fourth on floor exercise, setting a new school record on balance beam with a 9.725 and in the all-around at 37.75. “It was an exciting and very proud moment,” exclaimed Coach Kathy Lund. “At the start of the season we thought there was a window of opportunity for this team to advance to state. As the season progressed, we were plagued with so many injuries, Other schools’ scores were going up and we were healing from injuries. It wasn’t until two weeks ago that we started to build team momentum. Going into Sectionals, we were ranked fourth for our Sectional,

with tight scores for River Falls, West Salem/Aquinas/Bangor and Onalaska. To make it to state, everyone would have to give their best and that is what they did,” the coach expressed. “With a start on the beam, we had solid performances, scoring a team high of 33.825. We were excited to have Erica Simmons back in the line-up after breaking her hand at our first home meet. It was Erica Simmons, Gracie Gerber and Jessee Lerud who had “stick” beam routines. Jessee flawlessly nailed everything. She was the only gymnast to begin with a front-tuck mount and land two back-to-back standing back tucks, scoring a 9.725, breaking her school record and winning this event!” “A personal best also included Erica Simmons with an 8.10 and Morgan Pfaff scored an 8.575 placing sixth. “On round four, we were off to the floor exercise.

MADISON—Cole Britton, senior wrestler for the Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg cooperative wrestling team, placed fifth at the WIAA Individual State Wrestling Tournament at Madison this past weekend. Cole went 3-2 in matches. Britton won his opening match Thursday, which put him into medal contention. “Cole wrestled very well at State,” coach Chris Bartlett, reported. “If you don’t win that Thursday match, your tournament is over.” That win enabled him to wrestle Friday. “His first match was a little tougher than we thought it was going to be. In the quarters, he wrestled aggressive and didn’t hold back. He put the kid on his back four different times. This was his opponent’s first time he ever made it that far, so he was a little nervous – maybe even a little starERIC PAULSON struck.” Cole Britton After his quarterfinals match, SEE BRITTON, PAGE 17

Almost but not quite: Tigers lose to Falcons ABBOTTSFIRD—“We played a nice first half,” complimented Tiger boys coach Rob Scherrer, following his team’s 60-44 loss to the Abbotsford Falcons Tuesday night. “Offensively we were in rhythm and moved the ball deep into Abby’s defense.” “In the second half, Abby went to a 1-3-1. We struggled and that continuity no longer existed. We had a tough time hitting shots and became slow to move the ball.” “Tate (Fohrenkamm) played a nice game offensively and Frankie DeBlase held Ab-

by’s leading scorer to five.” “Ultimately our season is over but now the work begins. We will miss our two seniors, Tate (Fohrenkamm) and Paul (Sargent), but they will have a lasting impact on the program in Webster.” The Tigers finish the season with a 1-11 regular season record and 7-16 overall. The future looks bright for the Tigers with a strong middle school program getting closer to the high school JV and Varsity teams. By Glen Skifstad, Sentinel

Trollers edge past Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ASHLAND —“It was a tough way to end the season,” lamented Siren girls basketball coach Ryan Karsten following the heart-breaking loss to the Bayfield Trollers on Saturday night in Ashland. “We had the lead for 35 minutes and 40 seconds of the game. Just not at the end, which is tough.” “We jumped out to a 12-0 advantage to start and led by 10 at the half. Caitlynn (Daniels) had 18 points in the first half. Our defense and offense were playing well in the first half.” “In the second half, hot shooting from them and foul issues hurt us. They hit five three’s in the second half, eight on the game. In addition, Caitlynn (Daniels) picked up her fourth foul with 14:30 to play. We had an 11 point lead (at that point).” “With 8:25 left, they had cut the lead to three. Caitlynn went back in and picked up her fifth foul with 8:10 left. The game went back and forth in the last eight minutes.” “We had a one point lead with 28 seconds left and just couldn’t hold it

as they put in an offensive rebound at the buzzer to beat us 65-63. “We missed a couple of free throws and made some bad decisions down the stretch. We just couldn’t finish this game like we have finished close games in the past.” Haley Peterson led us in scoring with 21 points, Caitlynn (Daniels) had 18. Ashlee (Rightman) scored seven and Laurel (Kannenberg) had eight.”

“It was a great high school basketball game and someone has to win those and someone has to lose those games. This time we were on the wrong end of it. It was a hard way to end a great season. I feel really bad for my seniors. “We really thought we were playing well at the right time and had a chance to win some more games. We ended the year at 20-5. There are a lot of teams that would like to win 20 games in a season. This year we were conference champions, and over the last three years the girls combined record on varsity has been 57-16. “That is a really special run they were on — one regional title and two conference titles over their run on varsity.” “It was a pleasure to coach all of those seniors. Each has played on varsity for the last three years. That means we have spent a lot of time together. I love each of them like a daughter and they will be hard to replace next year. “I wish them the best in the future in all they do,” concluded the coach.

and had solid routines. It was season high for Holly Fiedler and Morgan Pfaff with an 8.175 and an 8.775 respectively. After this round, scores were posted and we were sitting in second place with West Salem in first and River Falls in third.” “We headed to the vault, an event we could get some nice scores. This ended up being our highest scoring event with a team season high of 34.95, putting us up into first place with a .4 lead over West Salem. Scoring individual season highs were Gracie Gerber scoring an 8.975, placing sixth and Jessee Lerud placed third with a 9.175. “The uneven bars were our last event. Once again, Jessee wrapped up this event with an awesome routine catching her personnel created skill, a release front tuck (Comaneci Salto) scoring a 9.5 and winning the event. Gracie Gerber had a great routine scoring an 8.475 placing sixth. “While it is heartbreaking to have Gracie Gerber and Morgan place sixth individually when it’s the top five who advance to the individual state competition, their contribution helped put the team in second place.” “Next year looks bright for these gymnasts to advance to the state competition as they are a freshman and junior.” The Team State meet will be held in Wisconsin Rapids on Friday March 4 at 2 pm. On Saturday March 5, Jessee will compete in her fourth year in the Individual Competition at 11 am.

Grantsburg gymnastics history “I believe this is a first time (at state for a Grantsburg gymnastics team),” said Coach Lund. “This is my 18th season and Kay Edling was before me. I believe Nikki Kingston went to State in the 90’s as part of the Frederic/Grantsburg team. I had heard there was a gap of no gymnastics at Grantsburg until they got it back and co-oped with Frederic.” “For Jessee Lerud, she has competed in 32 meets, 28 as an All Around gymnast, and has won a total of 74 first places. She has scored a career total of 1,099.303 points, has set the school record 18 times setting the vault at 9.5, the uneven bars at 9.525, the beam at 9.725, the floor exercise at 9.5 and All Around at 37.75.” “She hold titles as a four time State Individual Qualifier; Sectional Champion in 2014 in the beam, floor and All Around, and in 2015, the beam and All Around.” “Jessee was State Champion on the beam (2014);

“I thought our guys played well tonight,” commented Dragon coach Jon Ruud. “I told them half the teams are going to lose tonight.” “In the first half, we moved the ball around well, different guys got the shots. We rebounded well, played defense okay. It was a good night.” After three and one half minutes of play, the Dragons were up 7-0 and then at the 11:45 mark, they led 12-3. The next five minutes showed that the Dragons went on a 16-4 run to have a 28-7 advantage. Neil Oustigoff had eight points in that run. After a Butternut time out, the Dragons peeled off eight more unanswered tallies to up the score to 36-7 with 5:26 left in the half. In the time remaining until the intermission, Siren added 13 additional points which included a nice ally up from Aaron Ruud to Logan Allen. The halftime score was 49-12. The first four minutes of the second half had Siren add 12 to their side of the scoreboard, holding Butternut to two. During this segment, Oustigoff had a nice one-handed slam for which the crowd cheered. The reserves soon got their opportunity to play and run out the clock, giving the Dragons a win. Neil Oustigoff was game high scorer with 52 on 21 field goals, three three point shots and a one-forthree night at the lane. Aaron Ruud chipped in with 11 and Logan Allen had 10. Silas Vasatka, Tanner Lee, Dolan Highstrom and Max Lindquist each tallied two points. Game high scorer for Butternut was Seth Scherwinski with 13. “In the second half of our season, we played teams where our scores were within 10-15 points. Some of these teams were really good and others were smaller schools,” commented Coach Ruud. “Tonight we came ready to play. We’re going to have a tough test Friday in our game against Frederic and I know our guys will be ready.” Friday’s game is slated for 7 pm in Siren.

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Siren Dragons were seemingly on a mission on Friday night as they took it to the Webster Tigers 78-43. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had our starting line up back in place and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Jon Ruud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a rough schedule the last few weeks.â&#x20AC;? With six minutes gone in the first period of play, the Dragons held a 19-4 advantage. Logan Allen had 10 points, Neil Oustigioff six and Aaron Ruud three during that time frame.

The Beavers jumped out to an early lead as Grantsburg seemed to play flat and unenthusiastic. Eventually the Pirates settled in and started to play their game on both ends of the court. They fed the ball to the big man down low, and John Chenal kept fighting his way to the basket putting the Beavers in foul trouble. At the break the Pirates held a 33-26 lead over the Beavers. Grantsburg ran away with the game the second half as they outscored Cumberland 3515 to secure the win. Chenal led the charge with 26 points on the night. Jordan Knutson sat much of the game due to foul trouble, but still managed to score 11 points. Leo

Britton and the coaches headed back to the hotel to relax for a while â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to try to ease some stomach discomfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew his match in the semiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was going to be tough â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was facing the returning state champ in the 106-pound division,â&#x20AC;? the coach explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wrestled hard but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get in position to score. The score ended up being 0-7, but already down 0-5, he had to take a chance at the end but was unable to score any points and actually lost two more points.â&#x20AC;? After finishing the match, Britton said his knee was a little sore. By the end of the evening it was really sore and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bending it much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless, he said right away that he was going to wrestle the next day,â&#x20AC;? Bartlett noted. Sure enough, the knee was still sore Saturday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After weigh-ins we had the trainer tape it up but in his first match you could see he was favoring it,â&#x20AC;? the coach observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gave up a quick take-down in the first period. In the second his opponent quickly got an escape and a take-down and I thought the knee was going to do him in. Before the second was over, however, he was able to get an escape and take down himself.â&#x20AC;? That put Britton down 3-5 going into the third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had choice and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to put him down on the mat to start, but he had just gotten out so we went down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we were looking for an escape with a take-down to win it,â&#x20AC;? Bartlett remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He fought the entire third, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to escape.â&#x20AC;? Thankfully, Britton didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

have to wait long for his last match of the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The adrenaline from the previous match kept the knee from being an issue,â&#x20AC;? Bartlett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was scoreless into the second and we had choice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and right away Cole choose down. We were concerned at first, but he was able to get a reversal and ride out the period. In the third, his opponent choose down. Cole rode him out almost the entire period and only gave up an escape as the period ended.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wrestled every match hard and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was anything we would have done differently and he knows that. He was able to win his last high school match and take hardware home from the State tournament for the second year in a row. He also was a four time All Conference wrestler and won the Conference tournament three times.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He ended his career with 121 wins, which is number one for a Frederic wrestler. It puts him fourth on the list between all four schools. He had a very successful career and should be proud â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not many wrestlers can win the final match of their high school careers at state.â&#x20AC;? For those wondering about the hair, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give him credit,â&#x20AC;? Bartlett said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sure took a lot of crap when he was in Madison.â&#x20AC;? Apparently, Britton had announced at school that if he made it back to the state meet, the student body would be able to select the color he would dye his hair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of his four choices, he went with pink,â&#x20AC;? the coach commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blend in like when he dyed it blonde last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D;that pink really stuck out.â&#x20AC;?

Pirates hold off Saints

Lady Dragons win semi- Regional

Win marks 100th for coach Nick Hallberg

ST. CROIX FALLS —It was the last regular game of the season for the Grantsburg Pirate boys basketball team as they took a trip south to face the St. Croix Falls Saints. The Pirates avoided a second half rally by the Saints to hang on for a 66-60 win. The win ends Grantsburg’s conference play with a 10-2 record, and a second place finish in the West Lakeland Conference right behind Unity who were 12-0. The win was also a benchmark in coach Nick Hallberg’s varsity coaching career. Since taking over the head coaching duties starting with the 2009-2010 season, this was the 100th win for Hallberg. His team surprised him after the game by presenting the coach with his own special “game ball” to celebrate the moment. In Hallberg’s seven seasons at the helm, he has led his team to a conference title, a regional and sectional championship, and brought home a state runner-up silver ball that sits proudly in the GHS trophy case. This 100th win is another accomplishment he can now add to the list. In this game, the Pirates jumped out to an early lead and seemed to being flying around the court just scoring at will. Grantsburg held a commanding 35-22 lead at the break. Jaeger Staeven led the charge this half with eight. Jackson Gerber and John Chenal each added seven. Jordan Knutson got his night started with six. Joseph Ohnstad was next up scoring five. Leo Chenal ended the list, adding two. It was more of a closely played game in the second half as the Saints started hitting their shots and managed to outscore the Pirates 38-31, but it was too little, too late. Knutson heated up in the second to lead the Pirates scoring 18 points this half to end his night with a game high 24. John Chenal kept battling under the basket to add 10 this half with Staeven adding two to bring his total to 10. Leo Chenal went one for two from the line to end the scoring this half. “St. Croix has been playing well of late and tonight was no different,” Hallberg said. “Our guys battled right to the end after a fast start. Good to see the energy, we just need to sustain that level of play consistently going forward. “Proud of our guys this regular season, now on to the tournament.”

SIREN—“Luck is a well-coached team,” complimented Siren Dragon coach Ryan Karsten following his team’s 43-27 win over the Cardinals last Friday. “They are really going to be tough to play next year.” But that is next year. The Dragons have only a short time to enjoy this win as they travel to Ashland on Saturday to take on the Bayfield Trollers. The defense was tough for both squads in the first half, but the Dragons defense was just a little more tougher, holding the Cardinals scoreless until 4:54 was left in the half, while they put 14 on the board. Luck battled back during the remaining time, scoring nine more. The Dragons put six more up on their side of the scoreboard, thus leading 20-11 at the intermission. GOOB COY | SENTINEL Ashlee Rightman had seven and Haley Peterson scored six for the Dragons in the first frame. Kyla Caitlynn Daniels is fouled from behind as she puts up a shot.

We have the opportunity to do that did Laurel Kannenberg. tomorrow night.” Siren put eight more up, holding Luck to none for “Bayfield loves offense and we love defense. We the next three and one-half minutes. have contrasting styles of basketball,” he continued. Then Luck went to work, getting some points too “The crowd was good tonight.

Marilyn Weschnefski

Marilyn V. Weschnefski, 84, of Sand Lake Township, Burnett County, died Feb. 20, 2016 at sea. Visitation will be 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 17 at Siren United Methodist Church. A memorial service will be held at 11 am. Friday, March 18, at the church, followed by a luncheon. Born July 9, 1931 to George and Marjorie (nee Kuhnly) Myers, Marilyn displayed early artistic talent and a fiery independent nature. A daughter of pioneer families, she forged her own path through life without regard for what others might think. From being an engineering student to wife and mother in her first marriage, to her varied occupational choices, she followed her own star. She worked as a nursing aide, a technical illustrator, and a reporter and columnist for the Burlington (WI) weekly newspaper. She also worked as a crystal finisher to tune frequency-controlling crystals used in military applications. In her second marriage, she worked as an interior decorator, then owned her own mechanics’ tool business, selling to garages and small shops. She earned income as a driving instructor and bus driver, then operated a sizable apiary with her second husband, Leo Weschnefski, for 20 years, all the while pursuing her avocation for painting and creating works on commission. She returned to college and earned honors for a degree in art from the University of Wisconsin, then taught painting and basket-making until she no longer had the physical dexterity to create the paintings, sculpture, prints or crafts that had earned her renown as a regional artist. She still sketched for her own enjoyment and that of others, almost to the very end. It is impossible to list all whose lives she touched, but she felt a special artistic kinship with her niece ,Alison, a singer and teacher in Virginia. She refused to be confined by urban convention in her hobbies and recreation, being an avid outdoors woman who loved to hunt and fish, as well as being a bird watcher and dedicated owner for her companion animals. Learning to cross-country ski as a young girl, she found winter snows to be no limiter of her activity. She earned a private pilot’s license and enjoyed flying to air shows and in support of her tool business with her husband, Leo. Active in community and her church, she was always willing to bake and lend a hand. Forever up for exploration and new experiences, she was in the Caribbean on her first cruise when the ravages of her recently-diagnosed lung cancer resulted in her passing peacefully in her sleep. She is survived by her son Paul, sister Judy, brothers David and Charles, nieces and nephews and many cousins. Preceding her in death were her husband, Leo Weschnefski; first husband Paul Hinds, Sr.; and sisters Betty and Ruth.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF THE VILLAGE OF GRANTSBURG MUNICIPAL WATER UTILITY

The Village of Grantsburg Municipal Water Utility has filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to increase water rates. The increase is necessary because of increased operating expenses, plant additions, and declining water sales since the last water rate case in 2008. The total increase in water revenues requested is $16,764 which will result in an estimated overall rate increase of 7% over the water utility’s present revenues. If the request is granted, the water bill for general service for an average residential customer with a ⅝-inch or ¾-inch meter who uses 9,000 gallons of water per quarter will increase from $40.73 to $44.70, or 10%. In conformance with Wis. Stat. § 196.03(3)(b), the Village of Grantsburg has elected to continue to have the water utility recover the cost of public fire protection (PFP) service through a combination of an annual municipal charge of $39,760 and direct charges for PFP for the remainder using the Equivalent Services Method. The Village of Grantsburg has also elected to make the direct PFP charge applicable to non-general service customers who own property that is located both within the municipal limits and in an area where the utility has an obligation to provide water for PFP. These non-customer properties will be billed at the ⅝-inch meter charge for PFP. When the public fire protection charge is included, the total water bill for an average residential customer with a ⅝-inch or ¾-inch meter who uses 9,000 gallons of water per quarter will increase from $64.61 to $66.45, or 3%. A telephonic public hearing on the application has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 9, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. in the Board Room at the Village of Grantsburg Office Building, 316 South Brad Street, Grantsburg, Wisconsin. Scheduling questions regarding this hearing may be directed to the PSCW at (608) 266-3766. A person may testify in this proceeding without becoming a party and without attorney representation.

Not all fences are bad

Do you suppose chickens ever resent the limits of the fence? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fence me in!â&#x20AC;? Then there are swimming pools. Why are swimming pools supposed to be surrounded by a fence? For our own and otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellbeing, of course! God sets up fences; protective fences. Fences meant to protect us from all kinds of danger to ourselves and to others. God sets up relational boundaries and barriers. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guardrails are meant to protect us from our
