SIREN—Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm has been in office for one year now and he took time last week to look back and reflect on the preceding 12 months. “My whole purpose of obtaining this office was to do a good job and make the department better, obviously, but I wanted to bring a peace and calming influence to this place,” Wilhelm reflected. Having lived through a lot of strife within the department over the past couple of years, that was number one on his list of goals. “I think we have accomplished that goal,” he stated. Better communication, both within the department and between agencies, creation of a Facebook page, continuing to try to curtail drunk driving, keeping officers safe and starting the initial investigation into creating a K-9 program are all on his list of successes for his first year in office. He also views improvements to the jail as a success. “The jail kitchen is completely revamped — stainless steel everything,” Wilhelm explained. “It’s a solid plus.” Tempering those successes are a challenge or two Wilhelm wasn’t expecting when he took office. “I knew nothing moves as fast as you’d like it to so learning how to work with the county board and the public safety committee, the committee which has jurisdiction over our department, has been a challenge — there’s a lot of red tape,” Wilhelm noted. “But they’ve all been great.” As a private sector businessman in a previous life, SEE WILHELM, PAGE 6

GRANTSBURG—Grantsburg High School senior Delia Labatt will travel to Moscow, Russia later this month to attend a symposium for high school students on medicine. Labatt, who hopes to become a pediatrician, said the invitation to Russia resulted from a trip she and another GHS senior took last summer to China. Labatt and Audrey Lauer of Grantsburg were invited to the Ameson Chinese Elite program in Beijing last August to learn about China’s government and political systems. Students from France, England, Russia, the U.S. and other nations attended, plus about 300 Chinese students. While in Beijing, Labatt and Lauer met Marina Polovkova of Moscow. Polovkova is a high school SEE RUSSIA, PAGE 2

‘Acting on their behalf’
DOT rolls out new law
BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN
SIREN— In the classic 1961 film “101 Dalmatians,” the so-called Kanine Krunchies are “the champion of all dog biscuits.” The real-life parallel to this product could possibly reside in Burnett County, with Kayla Casey’s all-natural dog treats. Casey, who is 20 years old, decided two months ago that she wanted to do something important involving animals in the area. “I used to volunteer at the humane society in Siren, and I raise money to help fund that,” began Casey, who felt compassion toward the animals she took care of. She began to make biscuits that were entirely homemade, and only used natural ingredients. “One recipe has only three ingredients — pumpkin, oats, and peanut butter,” said Casey, commenting on her most popular product. The treats have “benefits for the animals,” because the ingredients, such as the pumpkin puree, helps with the dog’s digestion. Along with the humane society, some of the profits from the treats are given to the Animal Wellness Center in Siren. She knows that the center is raising money to get an X-ray machine, and so that’s why she donates to this cause. Yet this market does not only thrive in northwestern Wisconsin. Casey advertises on Facebook, has had stations at craft fairs, and has made sales in both Wisconsin and Minnesota. Furthermore, she has a new idea that she is pursuing — Operation Canine Care Package. This project involves box-orders of dog treats and hygiene products being shipped to military service dogs overseas. One of the most astounding facts about her sales is how she does not keep any of the profit. “The only time I use the money is to buy more supplies,” explained Casey, who donates the rest. So for having the business for only a couple of months and considering all of the factors, she isn’t doing too badly. “They don’t really have a voice of their own, so we need to act on their behalf,” she declared. If you’re interested in learning more, her Facebook page is called “Healthy Homemade Cat and Pup Treats.”

Too early to ride The Jackson Fire Department was involved in a snowmobile rescue on New Year’s night. It was their second such incident of the week of snowmobiles sinking into the swamps as swamps are yet not frozen over. This snowmobile was in a swamp just south of the Voyager Village Clubhouse.
MADISON—Beginning January 1, 2016, a new law (342.41 Identity of buyer) goes into effect requiring a person who sells a motor vehicle to another person, including transferring a junk vehicle by bill of sale, to submit notification to the department that a sale has occurred. This law does not apply to dealer transactions or businesses; this requirement is only for sales from one individual to another individual. Within 30 days of a sale the seller needs to report to WisDOT the: • Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle • Identity of the individual buyer • Sale price • Date of sale To submit seller notification online you need: • To be an owner of the vehicle (must be an individual, not a business) • Your Wisconsin driver license or identification card number (or full name) • The last four digits of your social security number (or full SSN) • Your date of birth • The vehicle identification number (VIN) for the vehicle Once completed, you will have the option to print, email, or save confirmation of your notification. This service may not be available on Sundays from 6 a.m.–9 a.m. due to regular system maintenance.

teacher and president of Innovation Development and Education Collaboration. IDEC sponsors an annual “Winter School Project” to bring students from many nations to Russia for a symposium. After the China conference, Polovkova sent the Grantsburg girls a personal invitation to attend the Moscow event. However, Labatt will be traveling alone this time, as Lauer is graduating from high school early and may be ineligible to attend. The Moscow conference topic is medical advancements and careers in medicine. Like the China event, the Russian gathering will feature experts in the field, including medical doctors and professors from several countries. In addition to the conference, the Jan. 23-Feb. 2 trip will include an evening concert and trips to some of Moscow’s famous sites including the Kremlin. When the confer-

ence concludes, Labatt and other students will travel by train to St. Petersburg to visit The Hermitage, “the greatest art museum in Russia,” and Smolny Palace, before returning home. Planning a trip to Russia holds many challenges, Delia and her mother, Mary, have discovered. “The Russian embassy is closed on holiday until Jan. 11, so we had to put a ‘mega-rush’ on my visa processing. It is also a little confusing,
as my official invite is 100 percent in Russian. To apply for a visa, I need to translate information off that document. My mother and I are scrambling to get things finished on time,” she exclaimed. A Pennsylvania boy she met in China was planning to attend, but has dropped out over the visa complications. Delia believes she now is the only American attending the Moscow event. “It’s a little nerve wracking, but I am very excited.” Labatt added, “I feel extremely blessed to be able to live out my childhood dream of traveling the world. It’s an eye-opener to see how other countries and cultures live, and it’s great to come back home and be thankful for things I took for granted before.” GHS Principal Josh Watt said of Labatt, “I am proud of Delia for taking control and ownership of her education. She is an excellent student who strives to maximize opportunities outside her comfort zone.”

A letter to seniors More than once, people have approached me and posed this question — “Do you wish to pursue journalism in college?” That’s a tough one to answer, and I know I am not the only almost-graduate who has been asked about their future in the next few months. I do not find it bad at all that we are asked about what we want to do for careers — it is actually a really good thing! And for two reasons. One, it inspires us to sit down and give major thought to how we want to contribute to society. Two, it shows that adults genuinely care about what our passions are, and that’s amazing within itself. Yet, when being asked a simple question that should usually Another be followed by a brief and confident answer, most of us who are look indecisive feel sheepish when answering “I don’t know.” We Meg Rod shrug our shoulders, try to explain ourselves, and occasionally feel ashamed that we do not have it all figured out. There is absolutely no shame in not having an answer when we analyze all of the factors. Taking classes for a major you are unsure of does cost a pretty penny, and college courses shine a whole new light on the subjects you learned about in high school. Maybe psychology seemed like a good idea when you were conducting mind-games in a prior high school class, but being a therapist does not strike your fancy. And thank goodness you discovered that! Because here is the thing — college is a learning experience, and not just in occupational subjects. You learn who you are, what you like, what you hate, and where you fit most comfortably in the world. And if you know everything about your life right away, where is the fun in that? There is beauty in uncertainty, because it leads you down new roads that you never would have taken if you had definite answers. It is alright not to know, so don’t stress. Maybe take your generals your first year, get them out of the way. That is my plan, and hopefully my future will look less-distorted after seeing what classes really intrigue me. Whether it ends up being journalism or not, I just strive to make sure my career somehow helps society, and motivates me to go to work everyday. And if you go into college with an idea and decide you want to do something else? That is great, because knowing what you don’t want to do helps you figure out what you do want to pursue. I will get off my soap box soon, but here is the short and sweet description of what I am attempting to say: If you know what you are doing right after graduation, that is wonderful. If you have absolutely no idea and your mind changes every day, that is wonderful, too. Give it some thought and some time. The idea will come to you, and I am sure that it will be brilliant.

A not so long time ago ... A not so long time ago, 38 years (give or take a few months), director George Lucas created a pop culture phenomenon with his movie “Star Wars.” The movie created an entire sub culture and made Lucas a very rich man. Special effects from Industrial Light and Magic, the Dolby sound alternative From the THX and five sePublisher’s quels were spinoffs from the success of Desk the original movie. “The Empire Tom Stangl Strikes Back” in 1980 and “Return of the Jedi” in 1983 starred the original cast, now household names: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. All were hits. Lucas created video games and sold tons of merchandise. When the first movie was made, Lucas said it was the fourth of nine movies. After completing the original trilogy, in 1999 he began work on the prequels: 1999s “The Phantom Menace,” 2002s “Attack of the Clones” and 2005s “Revenge of the Sith.” These films are generally accepted as inferior to the original films. Disney purchased Lucasfilms for $4 billion and began an ambitious
merchandising and development program. The first film, “The Force Awakens” is currently providing a handsome return on the investment. Directed by J.J. Abrams, who successfully “rebooted” the “Star Trek” franchise, “The Force Awakens” is a loving tribute and generational remake of the original “Star Wars,” now referred to as “A New Hope.” Sure, it’s been 32 years since Fisher, Ford and Hamill starred in the first movie, but they are now old friends introducing us to a new generation of characters. I won’t spoil the movie for those of you who haven’t seen it, but I will say that it is a good movie, an updated and clever reworking of the original and a great baton handoff to a new generation of stars. The Star Wars fever that is gripping the nation now is just a very strong wave of nostalgia. If you stop and think about it, re-doing movies about every 30 years is something that has been going on for a long time, ever since the talkies replaced the first movies. It makes all sorts of sense, as well as lots of money. If a movie was successful the first time around, updating it for the next generation cashes in on the nostalgia from persons who were around to see the original (adults and their children) and can create a fan base who

knows nothing about the original. Many are indifferent about earlier versions of a story, whether it be a novel that served as source material for the first black and white movie or an updated version done in the 1970s. But the folks who crank out our entertainment are more likely to hedge their bets on proven commodities, even if they are 30 years old. Sequels and formula films are the norm, original ideas are rare and have won hard fights to make it to the screen. So take heart, Star Wars fans. You will be seeing about a movie a year for the next decade as Disney milks the franchise for all it is worth. You may recall that Disney also owns Marvel, the comic book publisher that has been bringing their characters to the big (and small) screen since 2008. If you don’t like comic book heroes and Star Wars, remember that everything goes in cycles. It may take a few years, but your favorites will come back. 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. The Burnett County Sentinel is published every Wednesday by Sentinel Publications, LLC. USPS No. 080020.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WEBSTER SENIORS By Bernie Bolter
Stop the assault To the editor: Local control is the bedrock of democracy and responds to the needs and health of the community. At an alarming rate, the party in control of Wisconsin since 2011 has been assaulting our rights and the freedom to determine our destiny at the local level. More than 65 legislative actions have dictated policies that restrict or reduce local control. They affect farmland preservation, public instruction, regional transit, and shoreland zoning standards, to name just a few. The assault on our rights and freedoms at the local level continues in 2016, with the majority party dictating policies that will greatly affect us. Here is a partial list: •SB355/AB481 Restricts public school districts and citizens to determine when referenda are needed to maintain programming and educational opportunities. •AB600 Shortens the list of protected waters
under the public trust doctrine. Makes it difficult for citizens to challenge DNR permitting decisions. Increases the development of wetlands. •AB603 Expands Act 55, stripping counties’ control over lakeshore structure setbacks. Increases the types of structures that can be built close to the shore without local approval, a fee, or the usual mitigation requirements to make changes. •AB582/SB464 Removes counties’ ability to limit polluting industries. Removes local control over zoning. Shifts property taxes to residential property owners by exempting developers from paying their fair share of taxes. The brazen assault on our right to establish local standards, based on the needs and health of our schools and communities, must be stopped. This is “big government” at its worst.

Read a good book lately? BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN
My favrite book is bireuvthewepeked (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) bekus it is fune (fun.) - Sawyer
GRANTSBURG—The following book titles may be unfamiliar to those who were used to reading works such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Cat in the Hat when they were in elementary school. Nonetheless, any piece of literature that expands the imagination and makes kids excited to learn is a worthwhile read. Andrea McNutt’s first grade class at Grantsburg Elementary School was posed with the question “What is your favorite book, and why?” and these were their responses (printed the way they were written): My favorite boook is five nites at Freddys kuz it skars you. - John
My favoite book is star wars. Because i have it. - Ayla My faverite book is kik kar moo (Click Clack Moo) I liek it, I reed it a lot. - Darren My favorite book is Pete the cat saves Chrismes. Becs Pete saves Chrismes. - Josie My favrite book is John deere book becus I like John deere. - Dale My fravit (favorite) book is sindrela (Cinderella) bekus it has a blou (blue) prinses. - Chloe
New Year’s resolution - recycle more BY JEN BARTON
Well, how did you do? Did you consciously try reducing paper use this holiday season? How about boxes, bows and wrapping paper? Did you save those items you can use for next year’s gifts? At the very least, did you save those great gift bags that can be used year after year? How about New Years’ Resolutions? Did you resolve to reduce? Do you look at your garbage bags sitting there in the cold, awaiting the garbage trucks arrival to escort them to the landfill? You can do more. In 2016, make a conscious effort to recycle every item you can. Cardboard: break it down and bring it to one of the 12 locations throughout Burnett and Washburn counties. Most packing materials can also be recycled. Rinse out aluminum and tin cans, set aside newspapers, phone books, and magazines, and start saving all mixed paper (including junk mail and school papers) to bring to 15 locations throughout the RCC service area. Glass (another “problem-child” of the recycling world) needs to get placed in the recycling bin. And, FYI, mason jars are accepted at recycling sites. We need to recycle each and every
glass and plastic bottle. All plastic bottles, No. 1 through No. 7, are accepted both curbside and at the 15 area recycling sites. Please note that bottle caps are recyclable and do not need to be removed. Automotive bottles (such as motor oil bottles) are NOT accepted. Do you have fluorescent bulbs, automotive batteries, computers, electronics or appliances to get rid of ? Just call Jen at the Recycling Office for prices and locations at 715-635-2197, or email her at jbarton@nwrpc. com. Used oil, oil filters, scrap metal, tires, rechargeable batteries, computer components and cell phones are also collected locally. Ignorance is not an excuse. Give Jen a call, or drop an email. Again in the new year, I will anwswer your questions about recycling and waste management issues via this newspaper. I will respond in the Earth Notes column the following week. Just send questions to jbarton@nwrpc.com. No question is too small. If you have a question or concern, you can be sure others feel the same and would appreciate answers to their questions too. Happy New You... I mean New Year!

We loved it! Our street address numbers have been added to the side of the building and placed so that everyone can see the building number from the street. The 500 winners this week were Dave Peterson, Arnie Borchert, Dwaine Bentley, Anke Olson and Jean Dodenhoff. Nice to have visitors from so far away – Anke from Florida and Jean from California. There was no Spades game this past week.

WILHELM: The sheriff looks back on his first year in office needs to be addressed today, Wilhelm sees the jail-dispatch as an issue of concern. “Getting the two separated is going to have to take place,” he remarked. He said between an additional building and how it would be staffed, there’s a lot of pro’s and con’s. “We’re studying what’s the best way, he most efficient way, all of it,” Wilhelm added. “Eventually, it will be separated but when that’ll happen, I don’t know.”
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Wilhelm said the transition to an administrator in the public sector has been quite eye-opening. “The challenge has been to see how government works — it’s a slow machine,” he reported with a grin. The communication tower network, the K-9 program and the jail/dispatch controversy are on-going challenges Wilhelm gets to deal with. “I figured we’d be up and running with the towers a long, long time ago but it’s been like an anchor holding us back,” he quipped. “It’s been frustrating because we have some areas of the county where our portable radios can’t pick up a tower but hopefully we can get through that when the system is up-and-running this summer.” Staffing used to be the hang-up on moving ahead with the K-9 program. “Part of the problem in getting the K-9 program going was we weren’t properly staffed,” Wilhelm admitted. “Now we have those officers hired so we can move forward.” He said a lot of funds have been donated for a K-9 program and the department hasn’t even solicited money yet. To Wilhelm, that means people see a need for a K-9. “We have a very serious methamphetamine and heroin drug problem in this county and we need to address it,” he remarked.
The sheriff said that’s something his office will be tackling starting this year. “It’s an area we are going to be focusing on from here on out — the wonderful world of drugs,” Wilhelm said. “This drug war fuels all of our burglaries — you have to take care of one to take care of the other.” He said a K-9 program is just one of the tools the department can use in the war on drugs. “If we can get the people who are responsible for all of this put away, hopefully it will slow things down a bit,” Wilhelm realized. And while it’s not something that
Wilhelm is quite excited to see what transpires in 2016. “We have hired a couple of new deputies — so we can move forward with them and get them into the field training process,” he pointed out. “I see good progress being made.” He said the next wave of communication, called Next-Gen, will only be a boon for law enforcement. “It will enable a lot of agencies to communicate effectively and efficiently,” Wilhelm pointed out. He referred to a high-speed chase in eastern Burnett County in December where the Next-Gen communications could have helped. “We could not communicate with the state patrol — it was their chase and we were just trying to assist,” the sheriff explained. “Everything that happened had to be relayed through dispatchers.” He hopes to see the drug enforcement program, complete with K-9, going soon-
ligion, in order to help people create an informed response to Islam and Muslims. The studies will be sponsored by area congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and will be led by the Rev. Carl Heidel. He is a former assistant professor at Spring Arbor (MI) University, where he taught World Religions. Study sessions will meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon Jan. 15, 22 and 29, and Feb. 5, 2016 in the community room of the library. There is no charge, but registration is required. To register call 715/866-7697 or email the librarian, Patti Meyer at pmeyer@webster.wislib. org.

They will meet in the Nexen room Preschool storytime - Please join us every at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday morning

er rather than later. He would also like to see the recreation-officer program back to what it was. “We have some highly trained deputies so I’m hoping we can utilize them in that area,” Wilhelm noted. The sheriff also said he has no interest in taking over any of the law enforcement agencies —he has enough to do as sheriff. “I’d like to see more cooperation between our agencies,” he insisted. “I don’t want to run their agencies but I’d be more than happy to work hand-inhand with them.” Speaking of communication, Wilhelm seemed baffled when questioned about his apparent lack of communication and cooperation with other law enforcement agencies with the county. “That’s confusing to me because I don’t think we’ve ever closed our doors to other agencies,” he replied. “I’m here and I’d be glad to talk with anyone if they have concerns.” “I actually think we are all working well together,” Wilhelm continued. Building a tactical team is on his wish-list. “I know there’s a lot of interest,” he pointed out. So with one year down and three to go in his first term, the sheriff is positive about his impact and is looking ahead. “All in all, it’s been a good year,” Wilhelm concluded. “Just being at full-staff is exciting.”

In other business: • The high school has joined other schools in the conference to investigate whether they want to form a Lakeland Conference Honor Society. “The National Honor Society (NHS) tripled its fees, and we really don’t get much in the way of benefits,” Josh Hetfeld, high school principal, explained. But, that idea didn’t sit well with
• In closed session, the board approved 2015-16 contracts for the 13 members of the administrative team. “The increases average about 2.75 percent,” Supt. Jim Erickson remarked. “Even though their contract is a two-year document, the wage piece is from year-to-year.” • The board authorized Rachel Lee, K-12 vocal director, to once again take four students to the Dorian Vocal Festival at Luther College in Decorah, IA in January. “The festival is an honors choirlike opportunity for students to network with other choir students, taste college life by staying on campus, working with a high-caliber clinician and learn more challenging music,” Lee explained in her written request to Hetfeld. About 1,100 students from around the midwest attend the Dorian Vocal Festival where they participate in mass choir rehearsals and participate in mini-voice lessons from college faculty. • In a move which fits the district’s personalized education approach,
the student leadership team has been working on a plan for spring semester to help get students the help they need. “Instead of just sitting in a study hall for 8th period, if a student needs help in math, for instance, they can sign out of their study hall and go to the math room,” Joey Formanek, SLT member told board members. The team has also devised an application for freshman to join the group rather than being recommended by teachers. “I think it’ll be better for the team if students have an interest,” Formanek said. “Rather than just serving because some teacher thought it would be a good fit.” s • In personnel moves, the board approved Bill Schrooten, ice fish team, and Dan Swenson, varsity basketball, as volunteer coaches for the winter sports season. The board also accepted Greg Norman’s resignation as junior high football coach. • As of January, the school board meetings will revert to the third Monday of the month. “We had been swimming uphill against all the billing dates,” Erickson said of the switch. “But, by having three people in the administrative office, I think we can handle meeting again on the third Monday.” More ammunition for the change was the fact the board had to alter its meeting schedule two or three times a year due to holidays.

“I told Jovin (football coach Jovin Kroll) that there was no way we could get the grant — there’s no way I can justify our need in 1,000 characters.” He thought he’d have to re-do the grant application by sport — one for football, one for basketball, and so on. But then one day a certified letter from the J.J. Watt Foundation arrived for Hoefs at school. “Sure, it was a rejection of our application,” he anticipated upon seeing the envelope. But to the contrary, it was a check for $14,000. “We’ve already started ordering gear and we should be getting it in the spring,” Hoefs reported. “It’s a very nice way to set up our middle school programs.” He talked of getting gear for the football, basketball, baseball and track teams. “No longer will it be hand-medowns from the high school,” he concluded. “I know the kids are pretty excited about it.”
some board members. “I could see the whole ‘honor society’ premise becoming watered down if there were too many,” Terry Larsen pointed out. “I know colleges put a lot of emphasis on NHS inclusion.” “I don’t think it’s the name of the society as much as it is the standards the students have to maintain to belong,” Hetfeld countered. The investigation is only in the preliminary stages.

Runners-up play for gold BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—Two Grantsburg boys state runners up basketball teams, 2005 and 2011, squared off in a charity fund raising event at the Grantsburg High School gymnasium on Saturday with the 2011 squad getting by the 2005 team 59-52. The idea of a face-off between the two teams came about a while ago by a member of the 2011 team and it snowballed from there. Notifications were sent out to members of those respective teams and the replies were positive. Ten members of the 2005 squad were present and 11 of the 2011 team came. The game started with the oldsters going up 5-0 before the young’uns got on the board. After trailing 10-5, the 2011 team put together a seven run spurt to go ahead 12-10. The oldsters knotted the game at 12 before the young’uns ran out the quarter to finished the frame at 19-14. 2005 ran off eight straight to begin the second frame before 2011 could respond with a field goal. The scoring alternated from there and the first half came to an end, tied at 27. The teams battled back and forth in the third quarter before the young’uns scored six consecutive points to go up 40-34. 2005 got two more buckets and 2005 scored one from down town to end the third period of play at 43-38 for the young folks.

al squads and for both teams together were given. “We raised a substantial amount of money for the Buccaneer Club, which is the boys basketball booster club,” said Pirate head coach Nick Hallberg. “All of our fundraisers support everything we do as a program in grades 1-12.”
State memories
GOOB COY | SENTINEL
Coach Hallberg was asked to recall some memories of his appearances at the State Tournament. “The first time we went, the excitement was unmatched to anything I had ever been a part of. I was just out of college and didn’t get to state as a player in high school. I remember the excitement in the community, in the school, and in the gym. Being an assistant, I could be more in awe as I didn’t have the responsibilities of everything else going on, just to make the trip down and back.” “In 2011, it was a great accomplishment for our program to get there again. I felt like it solidified the idea that if we continue to work hard and grow as a program, we can make other trips down there. I do remember thinking in the years between the two trips whether or not we’d get there again, because it’s hard to do. We’ve had other teams probably talented enough, but you need to have a lot of things go your way and you have to play well. We’re always working towards that goal, because we’ve been there and have the 2005 and 2011 teams to use as an examples of what it takes.”
Ryan Hansen looks to make a move to the basket as Seth Coy guards him.
After scoring six, the oldsters were up 44-43 and seemed to have control of the game. But they made a couple of turnovers and the young’uns capitalized to score four, 47-44. A free throw by 2005 narrowed the gap to 47-45, but then turnovers enabled the young’uns to score six, 5345. It was 56-50 with 1:57 left and one could tell that the oldsters were buckling down even more. They missed the front end of a one-and-one, but made both charity tosses in a subsequent fouled-in-the-act-of-shooting play. Later they were given some golden opportunities to make it closer, but it was not to be. The young’uns made a three-point shot at the last second which made the final 59-52. Following the game, the 2011 squad was awarded with a “gold” ball that had eluded both teams, and then the trophies given to the respective teams at State were brought into the gymnasium and were re-presented to the squads.

Blizzard get a win at Barron Tourney
Dragons suffer tough loss to Panthers
BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
BARRON—As was reported in last week’s Sentinel Sports, the Burnett Blizzard boys hockey team was a participant in the Barron tournament last Monday through Wednesday (Dec. 28-30). On Monday, the Blizzard defeated the Northwest Icemen by a 3-2 margin. On Tuesday, Sauk Prairie beat the Blizzard 3-1 and Wednesday LaCrosse Logan handed the Blizzard a 4-2 setback. In the Sauk Prairie game, the Blizzard fell behind 2-0 after two periods of play. Both goals were at even strength. Bryce Roufs got Burnett on the board with a goal at 2:58, with the assist going to Austin Bowman. That was as far as the Blizzard could go, even though Sauk Prairie scored one more goal with 50 seconds remaining to make the final 3-1. Goalie Taran Wols stopped 17 of 20 shots on goal. The Blizzard put 27 shots on the Sauk Prairie goaltender.
Austin Bowman (14) battles for the puck.
LaCrosse Logan edges Blizzard The duo of Bryce Roufs and Austin Bowman got the first goal of the game as the Blizzard went up 1-0 at 7:44 in the first period. That goal held up for the remainder if the period. Logan went up 2-1 in the second frame on goals at 1:55 and 7:55 and added the first goal of the third period to go up 3-1. Austin Bowman (assist to Roufs) scored at 4:49 to
get the deficit margin to one at 3-2. Within the last two minutes, the Burnett goalie was pulled to add another scoring opportunity for the Blizzard, but Logan withstood the extra player and scored an open netter at 15:46 to ice the game. Taran Wols stopped 44 of 47 shots on goal. The Blizzard were able to get 37 shots on the Logan goalie. The next action for the Blizzard was a 7:30 pm game on Jan. 5 at Moose Lake.

BILL THORNLEY | SPOONER ADVOCATE
Let ‘em play The Burnett Squirts had some outdoor ice time versus the Spooner Rails on Jan. 2 in Spooner.
CLAYTON—“It was a tough loss for us against Prairie Farm on Monday,” reported Siren coach Jon Ruud. “We played well enough to get a 15 point lead with eight minutes to go, and then we played poorly enough in the next eight minutes to look like we did not belong on the floor with Prairie Farm.” “The story of the game was our defense and rebounding was FILE PHOTO very, very poor and we gave them many sec- Siren’s Logan Allen. ond shot opportunities and two foot baskets.” “Combine that with a bunch of turnovers down the stretch and we turned our fifth win of the season into our third loss. We are playing some younger kids and the experience that they are getting now will really help us once we get to February!” “Right now we just need more time and more practices to get everyone on the same page.” In the first half it was Aaron Ruud and Neil Oustigoff who led the way for the Dragons. Ruud had five three pointers, three field goals and a free throw for 20 points. Oustigoff scored eight field goals and a free throw for 17 tallies. The Dragons led 47-38 at the intermission. Both Ruud and Oustigoff fell into foul trouble in the second half and their scoring was missed when they were on the bench. Ruud had 15 points on five three point shots. Oustigoff had only four points on two field goals. Logan Allen picked up some of the slack with three from down town. Xander Pinero had four points and Tanner Lee put in two. For the game, Ruud tallied 35, Oustigoff 21 and Allen 11. Pinero finished with six and Lee had two points. Quinn Larson finished with 24 for the Panthers. Jordan Siebert had 20, Kenny Quarderer 12 and Jack Nelson ended up with 11.

/s/ Wanda Hinrichs Burnett County Clerk WNAXLP (January 6)
Proceedings Burnett County Board of Supervisors Committee of the Whole November 19, 2015 CALL TO ORDER Chairman Taylor called the November 19, 2015, Committee of the Whole meeting of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors to order at 9:30 a.m. at the Burnett County Government Center, Room 160, Siren, Wisconsin. ROLL CALL Present, 19 supervisors: Brent Blomberg, Dale Dresel, Gene McLain, Jeremy Gronski, Dorothy Richard, Donald Chell, Gene Olson, Charles Awe, Chuck Anderson, Edgar Peterson, Norman Bickford, Christopher Sybers, Bert Lund, Jr., Emmett Byrne, Richard Anderson, Gary Lundberg, Philip Lindeman, Don Taylor and Gerald Pardun. Excused, two: Clifford L. Main and Maury Miller. Present, one youth representative: Audrey Lauer. Excused, two youth representatives: Aubri Larson and Grant Preston. CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING COUNCIL (CJCC) DISCUSSION Drug Court Coordinator/IDIP Coordinator Tessa Anderson presented information to the Board on the need for a Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC). To continue to receive Treatment Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) grant funding from the Department of Justice, the county would be required to establish a CJCC. The objective of the council would be to identify problems within the justice system, figure out what causes the problems and come up with solutions for the problems. Judge Kenneth Kutz would coordinate council efforts. The CJCC would be comprised of representatives of Health and Human Services, the District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, the Courts and possibly other related entities. At this time, there is no cost to the county as Ms. Anderson is using funds she has already obtained through a grant. Administrator Ehalt will work with Ms. Anderson on preparing a resolution to bring forward. Discussion ensued and Ms. Anderson answered supervisor questions. HIGHWAY/FORESTRY FACILITY DISCUSSION Administrator Ehalt distributed a spreadsheet outlining the fi nancial funding options for ten, fifteen or twenty years of a highway/forestry facility if a note for $5,000,000.00 debt was issued. Included on the spreadsheet were interest rates, multiple terms, annual debt service payment for the different terms, taxpayer cost per $100,000.00, median tax amount per home owner for each option and total cost of loan paid with interest at the end of the term. Discussion ensued on the various options, how it may affect tax payers and how it fits into the long range plans for the county. Motion to approve a ten-year term for the note (exact cost not determined yet) for the highway/forestry facility was made by Supervisor Gronski, seconded by Supervisor Dresel. Motion carried, voice vote. UTILIZATION OF DISCRETIONARY FUNDS FOR UNBUDGETED REQUESTED ITEMS (HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND LIBRARY LEVY) Administrator Ehalt introduced the discussion on discretionary funds for unbudgeted requested items noting Health and Human Services would like to request funds in the amount of $20,000.00 from surplus money turned back to the county from their 2014 budget. Health and Human Services Director Katherine Peterson reviewed concerns over a shortage of funding available from the state on prevention programs. Nearly $80,000.00 has been cut in the budget over the past several years due to the elimination of state funding for prevention programs. The department feels strongly these programs would be greatly beneficial to the community. Programs like Raising a Thinking Child, home visitor program, and drug and alcohol prevention at an early age, reproductive health education, kinship, juvenile justice programs, diversion programs, Alcohol and other Drug Abuse (AODA), suicide prevention programming, and many more. Discussion ensued on programming with concerns expressed and questions answered. Motion to approve allocation of $20,000.00 to Health and Human Services for prevention programming was made by Supervisor Gronski, seconded by Supervisor Lindeman. Discussion continued noting the programming to be put in place should come through the committee for approval before being implemented. Motion to amend the original motion to add at the discretion of the Health and Community Services Committee was made by Supervisor Lindeman, seconded by Supervisor Awe. Motion carried, voice vote. Original motion as amended carried, voice vote. There was no action taken on additional library funding. It was noted the Village of Grantsburg allocated $11,000.00 additional dollars to the Grantsburg Library for personnel hours. Discussion ensued on trying to help provide other resources to the library like county computers that are being recycled out of the building and possibly other items that may be an expense to the library but not necessarily a cash amount. DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS FUND AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WITHIN VILLAGES Mr. Ehalt started the discussion highlighting various development
JANUARY 6, 2016
projects planned or already in the works in the three county villages. The county has a Development Rights Fund and discussion ensued on use of those dollars for economic development projects in the county and what entities would be able to use the dollars. Mr. Ehalt will bring back research and have a proposal for a development strategy and use of funds at a later date. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS None. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn the November 19, 2015, meeting was made by Supervisor Gronski, seconded by Supervisor Sybers. Motion carried, voice vote. Meeting adjourned at 11:30 a.m. State of Wisconsin County of Burnett I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Proceedings of the Burnett November, 2015, as recorded by Wanda Hinrichs, County Clerk and kept by me as County Clerk.

would occasionally suddenly perk up and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop, listen. Listen to the sound of peace.â&#x20AC;? The birds would be chirping, the dog barking, the peaceful sounds of the world around her would fill her spirit. While this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the season where we want to go outside and read there is still a peacefulness that brings us back to God. So in the search for balance and a feeling of peace in this new year go to God for support. Whatever your resolution may be, God cares for you dearly and will listen when you need support in your resolution. God can hold it all.

Did you know? Consuming excessive amounts of sodium not only affects your health but also may affect your appearance. A diet thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich in sodium has long been linked to a host of health problems, including high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease, and stomach cancer. But consuming too much sodium also leads to increased water retention, which can cause weight gain and make men and women appear puffy and bloated. According to the American Heart Association, the recommended daily sodium intake is 1,500 milligrams. But the AHA notes that the average American consumes more than double that amount on a daily basis. While sodium is an essential nutrient, the human body does not need a lot of it to reap its benefits. Bread, processed meats and soups are some of the major contributors of dietary sodium, so men, women and even children, who the AHA notes are far more likely to develop high blood pressure as adults if they consume a high-sodium diet as a child, should study packaging on these items to ensure they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overloaded with sodium.
