Nearing completion BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—The final 1.5 miles of gravel will be paved this week, and the entire St. Hwy. 70 construction project in Minnesota, west of the St. Croix River bridge, will be finished within a few weeks. Local conversations over coffee among commuters and frequent travelers on Hwy. 70 have expressed frustration that the final gravel stretch, from the hill to the bridge, became a soupy mess during the fall’s frequent rain showers. Andrew Deming, project engineer from the MN-DOT Office in Duluth, says the construction team will be working on the road between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. “We will be out there working before sunrise, and after sunset, using a portable light plant,” Deming said. “We want to get the project wrapped up as soon as we can.”

Traffic will continue through the project in one lane, taking turns controlled by flaggers, as it has been all summer, Deming said. “We expect to be wrapping up the entire project by the end of October,” Deming continued. “We will be adding the final 1.5 inch lift (layer of asphalt) on the entire length of the project.” He said ditch work and drainage is mostly complete. The erosion control team will come in after the final signage and striping are in place, Deming added. “Depending on Mother Nature, we’ll get it done in a few weeks. We’re hoping for good weather.” As to the rumors circulating about the job, it’s just that —rumor. Deming said there is no truth to the speculation the contractors have had their permits pulled because of the quality of the workmanship or that crews had walked off the job.

Travel Center coming to Grantsburg BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—For the second time in as many weeks, news of Grantsburg gas stations changing ownership is making headlines. The Holiday Station in Grantsburg, in fact, just about all the Holiday stations in the region owned by the Ed Seck family, have been sold to TA Operating LLC. Effective Wednesday, October 14, the former Holiday, formerly Stop-A-Sec, on Highway 70 in Grantsburg will reopen as a Trav-

elCenter of America gas station. The convenience store portion of the outlet will be called Minit Mart. There are more than 200 TravelCenter/Minit Marts across the United States. The Grantsburg Village Board officially stamped its approval of the change of ownership Monday night when it authorized both a Class A liquor and a Class A beer license plus a cigarette license for the establishment. They were made available when Seck officially surrendered his licenses.

‘Good chili, I think’ Serena Mechtel probably had more chili on her face and clothes than wound up in her stomach during the 9th annual Jackson Fireﬁghter chili cookoff on Saturday. More photos on Page 2.

Explosions remain a mystery GRANTSBURG—The cause of several window-rattling explosion-like noises starting about 5 p.m. on Saturday afternoon and continuing, almost hourly, until midnight, remain unknown. A quick check with the local police department yielded no information. Burnett County dispatch had no reports which meant no official investigation resulted so the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department didn’t have an answer either. One ear-witness said the noises were not gunfire from the weekend youth hunt nor

was it fireworks. She suggested it could have been the frac sand mine on the river setting charges but a check with the zoning office determined Interstate Energy Partners’ request to use explosives had been denied. The Sentinel even checked with the 148th Fighter Wing out of Duluth, Minn. to see if their jets were in the skies over Grantsburg on exercises with their resultant sonic booms but that line of inquiry, too, met with a dead end. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel.

Forests yield half a million — close in on record year SIREN—When the final amount of $1.2 million was announced at the end of Thursday’s timber bid opening it was met with stunned silence. “That seems a little high,” Ed Peter-

son, chairman of the county’s natural resources committee, observed. The numbers were crunched again and the actual bid total was $642,376. “Not bad, especially considering how

poor the market is right now,” Jake Nichols, forestry administrator, commented on the second and final bid opening of the year. “We got some really nice pine sales.”

Book signing event set in Spooner SPOONER—Author David Whitehurst will be talking about and signing his book, Tree Stand Murders, on Wednesday, October 21 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Northwind Book and Fiber. Tree Stand Murders is the true story of the devastating hunting incident in November of 2004 near Rice Lake, which resulted in

the murder of six hunters. Whitehurst, an area hunter for 25 years, was hunting at the time and knew something had happened as he heard sirens racing through the woods. Whitehurst followed the case, and ultimately decided to write a book. He interviewed many people involved, studied police reports, and attended the trial. He hopes his book presents all sides of a tragic situation that involved property rights and cultural differences, among other issues. The author will give a talk on the book starting at 6:30 p.m. and be available to sign books until 8 p.m. Contact Northwind Book and Fiber in downtown Spooner for more information. 715-635-6811.

OCTOBER 14, 2015

Amazing I had always been told the early bird gets the worm. As a kid, I never liked the idea of eating a worm and all of my fishing experience amply solidified that belief. However, as I grew older, I came to understand that’s just an expression — basically the earlier you do something the better chances are you’ll be rewarded for your efforts. That very expression came to life for me one day last week. For some reason or another I was awake at 4:30 a.m. Please don’t tell me people need less sleep as they age. Anyway, I was up at 4:30 a.m. and was on my usual walk by 5 a.m. — more than half an hour earlier than usual. My reward? Seeing the Northern Lights. At first I thought the glow I was seeing was the typical glow I see every morning from the sodium-vapor lights emanating from the industrial park but as I ventured north of that point, the glow was still there —kind of a greenish hue. I suppose one could argue it was an early hint of the sun making its daily appearance but this glow was in the north not in Seems the east. to Me I walked to a point where there was as little man-made light Todd Beckmann as possible and sure enough, stretching from west to east along the northern horizon, I could see a green in the sky. I was also thinking if I had dragged myself out of bed an hour earlier, I could have driven into Crex Meadows and probably have gotten an eyeful. But from what I understand, there’s not a whole lot of rhyme or reason to seeing the Northern Lights. The one time we heard they were to be out, the wife and I got up at 1:00 a.m. and, bleary-eyed, drove out to Crex but besides fireflies, we didn’t see anything worthwhile. I wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice. Once I was quite certain of what I was witnessing, I speed-walked home, woke the wife out of a dead sleep, and drove out to Crex Meadows so we could witness it together. It was a “Dear Diary” kind of a moment because other than a time coming home from a football game in Kansas City when we thought we saw what could have been the Northern Lights, this time it was the real deal — a first for us. Even when we were in Alaska this summer, we didn’t see ‘em. And even though I’m an early to bed, early to rise kind of guy, the sun was still up when I went to bed at 9 p.m. and it was already up when I got up at 5 a.m. — I think there were maybe three hours a day in which they could have been visible. Of course, Anchorage has a lot more man-made lights than Grantsburg, so I don’t think I would have seen them even if I had been out for a walk at 2:30 a.m.

Enjoy it while it lasts It can vanish at any moment now. The beautiful fall weather we have been enjoying has been wonderful. Warm, dry days with cool evenings have many (including me) lulled into a false sense of security, believing that the fall will last for at least another month. The leaves are getting to peak color in my yard, with maples turning yellow then nearly gold before comFrom the ing to the ground. Publisher’s We have a maple on the north side Desk of our house that can be seen from Tom Stangl the landing of the stairway and at this time of year, the reflected light has a nearly golden hue. I’ve tried to take photos, but they really don’t do the colors justice. After we enjoy the beauty of the leaves, we need to deal with the leaves. With the loss of an ancient oak tree to a lightning strike this summer, there will be fewer leaves in my yard this fall. My wife and I have already begun mowing the leaves, a project that can go on for

a month or so, if the weather holds. Every year, I think that there will be a way to “stay on top” of the leaf situation. Once a week should be enough to run the mulching lawn mower over the leaves, breaking them down into smaller bits. The reality is that a couple of rainy and windy days can drop a ton of leaves on the yard, so many that it chokes the mower. I live now at the top of a hill, a big change from my childhood, when our home was three feet lower than the rest of the homes on the block and a natural spot for leaves from every other yard to land. We would rake and rake and rake some more. It was a chore more dreaded than helping the Chief with the storm windows. No kid wants to rake leaves. But in the days when you could burn leaves in the gutter of the street, just off the curb, parents could convince us to stay out and tend the burning leaves. For my money, there was nothing like tending a burn line of leaves on a cold autumn night. Perhaps it was the allure of being able to play with fire, something that was taboo in every other aspect of your life as a kid that held my attention. The heat and smoke could be intense if you stood in the

wrong spot, but it was a good time. I learned rudimentary fire fighting — how to feed and how to starve a fire, and how to stop a fire when I lost track of how quickly the leaves were burning. I think there was something about being entrusted to complete the job and not let the family station wagon, which was parked on the front yard (we had no garage), catch fire and explode that appealed to me as well. But we can no longer burn leaves, so a mulching we will go. Dealing with leaves in the fall is what we have to do, dealing with them in the spring is just a pain. Hopefully, we will have time to beat those beautiful leaves to bits so we have less to deal with in the spring. Hopefully. But as we all know, the rain can turn white at any time now.

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Not happy with comments Dear Editor: In the October 7 issue of the Burnett County Sentinel, Assemblyman Adam Jarchow’s titled his column with an inflammatory and misleading statement, “Democrats attack hunting and hunters”. His column continues, stating that Senator Fred Risser, “a liberal Madison Democrat” is circulating a bill to end hunting in state parks. I partially agree with Jachow that Risser is proposing legislation to end hunting in state parks. I attended a recent meeting of the Wildlife Committee of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation in Stevens Point where the Risser bill was discussed. The Committee voted unanimously (including me) to oppose the bill if it is actually considered in the Wisconsin Legislature. I predict the bill will

not pass if introduced in Legislature. Restricted hunting has been allowed in state parks for some time and as far as I know, there have been no problems between hunters and other park users. Hunting is restricted by game species hunted, time of year, areas hunted within the park and number of hunters allowed in the park to prevent problems arising. The tone of Jarchow’s column gives the impression that all state parks are open to unrestricted hunting which is not true. Jarchow also uses “Democrats” rather than Democrat since he writes about only one person, Senator Risser. In addition, Senator Risser is not “attacking” all hunting and all hunters, just hunting in state parks, not all state lands. Many Democrats are hunters. I’m an Independent voter, but tend to vote Democratic

on some issues and I’m a dyed-in-thewool hunter. I’ve hunted for over 60 years in Wisconsin, five other states and three Canadian provinces. I also take issue with Jarchow’s statement that “the animas that many Democrats hold towards gun owners and hunters.” Where are his facts? Many Democrats are also gun owners. I personally own a dozen guns for hunting and personal protection and know many Democrats who own guns. Balsam Lake Conservative Jarchow demonizes “Madison Liberals” in his column apparently trying to win support from upstate rural people. Wisconsin citizens have resented downstate Madison politicians since Wisconsin became a state. Polls have shown that approximately 80 percent of U.S. citizens do not hunt

and that majority is increasing, especially in urban areas. The percentage of hunters is higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Apparently Jachow is trying to exploit our urban-rural, north-south citizen (including hunters) differences. He might be trying to improve his political image after the public outcry over his changes made to the wetland zoning law in the recent state budget bill. Regardless, Jarchow should be more careful when making statements that automatically condemn a whole group for the actions of an individual in that group. How would he react to a news headline like “Republicans attack education and students”? Jim Evrard Grantsburg

Finding roots in Norway BY GENE JOHNSON PUBLISHER EMERITUS

When our plane touched down in Oslo a few weeks ago, my eyes were watery. This was a bucket list trip to connect with my family and walk the mountainside where my grandfather was born and lived until he immigrated to Kenyon, Minnesota at age 21 in 1893. After spending a couple days in Oslo, we made our way to Bergen via rail, ferry, bus and again rail. Snowcapped mountains were still visible in August. We traveled 20 miles to Myrdal to ride the steepest standard gauge rail line in Europe. With all the switchbacks, it was picturesque and exciting. Bergen was the highlight as we met my second cousins and their four families. One of the cousins, Berit, had done an enormous amount of research and was well prepared for our visit. We had the opportunity to go to the small family farmstead on the side of a mountain near Vik on the Arnafjord. A small village nearby was Dale. In the period from 1895 to 1920 over 800,000 Norwegian immigrants came to the U.S. The country was poor. Small farms found it difficult to feed the expanding families. Today Norway is a very wealthy country due to offshore oil drilling and exporting. They use very little oil themselves as over 90 percent of their electricity is generated by turbines driven by waterfalls. The majority of homes are heated with electricity. Most of their rail transportation is run by electricity. You hear a lot about Norway being expensive and that’s quite true. Their income tax ranges from 36 percent to 52 percent, but that provides total medical care.

Exports include wood pulp and aluminum. They have a sales tax and a value added tax (VAT). Their cars are taxed 100 percent. For some merchandise a portion of VAT is refundable for tourists at the airport when you leave the country. Norway gained its independence in 1905. Over the years it had been ruled by Denmark and Sweden. During World War II Norway had a good number of resistant fighters against the Germans. Three percent of the land in Norway is farm-able and most of that is in the southeast portion of the country. The southwest has the offshore oil wells and, of course, the fjords along the west and north coast. The Gulf Stream plays a major role as the entire west coast does not freeze even though portions are above the Arctic Circle. After our visits with the relatives in Bergen and en-

joying traditional foods in their homes, we took one of the 11 Hurtigruten Nordkap cruise ships from Bergen to Kirkenes, above the Arctic Circle. This six-day trip on a mail boat gave us opportunities to visit small communities, have short off-ship tours and actually visit the northernmost part of the world that is inhabited, the North Cape. The latitude was 72.10 N degrees. We returned to Oslo via air from Kirkenes and began our return trip through Iceland, where we spent a couple days at Reykavik. Reflecting on our experience in Norway, we discovered most Norwegians are wearing a backpack and have hiking shoes or boots. It’s a country of waterfalls and nearly 1,000 tunnels. Seafood is plentiful ranging from cod to salmon, halibut, shrimp and herring. Cheeses are always abundant and the meats served are primarily lamb. Prison sentences are limited to 21 years and they work very hard at rehabilitation. Numbers of immigrants are becoming a problem but they have an extensive language learning program before they can become citizens. There are a number of subsidies and benefits for electric cars and they are growing in popularity. A new Tesla costs the same as a Volvo station wagon. The northern part of the country is primarily fishing. They dry a lot of their fish on racks for later export. Lutefisk is enjoyed there, but very rare in the south portion of the country. The quality of life in Norway ranks very high in the world, but they are dealing with growing health issues like diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Wherever you travel, the people are friendly, courteous and helpful. English is spoken everywhere.

‘Drive Smart ‘ debuts SIREN—The loss of any life in a traffic crash is tragic, but the death of a young driver is especially distressing. Automobile crashes accounted for over thirty-six percent of teen deaths and are the leading cause of death for teens under 18. While driving distractions have the potential to cause any driver to experience a crash, young drivers are especially susceptible to distraction while driving, and the consequences can be deadly. Starting a new driver on a lifelong career of safe driving can have an immediate and long-term impact. In response to the growing need to prepare teens to be safe, effective drivers, Restorative Justice and BCAAC have partnered with local law enforcement to create the Drive Smart program. This program was launched with a Reward/Warning event, which was held at all three school districts last week. On these days local law enforcement including Burnett County Sheriff’s Department, and police departments from Grantsburg, Siren, Webster and the St. Croix Tribe conducted compliance stops where the youth in the cars were given a reward or a verbal warning.

There was a chance here to educate both the adults and the youth about the importance of seat belts and the dangers of distracted driving. The Drive Smart program will continue throughout the year with other activities planned at the schools to increase awareness and prevent crashes from distracted driving. In total, contact was made with 300 youth. Most had their seat belts on and were paying attention to what was going on outside of the vehicle. There were stops that had those who were eating, not wearing seat belts, or had animals in their laps. One of the vehicles had a child that was required to be in a car seat and was not. All of these things are dangerous when driving. This was also the kick off for the Teen Driving Circles that will be offered for drivers 16-19, who have had some minor traffic infraction. Law enforcement will be giving teen drivers an opportunity to forgo the first traffic offense by attending an educational program at Restorative Justice. This will give teen drivers the opportunity to receive more education about distracted driving and the importance of traffic laws.

FORESTS: Revenue closes in on $2 million for 2015 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Nichols said 2015 sales revenue could come close to or even surpass 2014’s $1.5 million. “I think we will exceed our budget predictions,” he told committee members. In all, 914 acres were sold to 14 different vendors. In other business: • “The land trade between Burnett County and the Department of Natural Resources seems to be picking up steam again,” Nichols told members. “I have been working with DNR staff to review the deeds to make sure all the parcels are included.” The county is giving up an area north of Crex Meadows and the Namekagon Barrens area so the DNR can manage the area as a barrens. In return, the DNR is giving the county areas like the Danbury Wildlife area and Kiezer Lake Wildlife area for the county to manage as forest areas plus a one-time payment of $600,000 as the DNR is getting more land than it’s giving up. “It’s been in the works since 2011 but it does involve thousands of acres,” Nichols pointed out. “We view this as a win-win situation.” He said the next step ought to be the deed transfer. “I am hopeful that the end is near and the trade will be completed soon,” Nichols added. • The committee approved $7,500 for an engineering study of the deteriorating retaining wall on the south end of Devil’s Lake. “That’ll be a big deal to replace that wall,” Peterson admitted. Niichols agreed. “It’s a scary thought to have to think about it,” he said. “That’s why I want a professional opinion on what options

we have.” In related news, Nichols reported the Devil’s Lake boat ramp has been fixed, again, and will hopefully make it through the winter season unscathed. For at least the fourth time in the last 10 to 15 years, ice-out has wreaked havoc on the ramp, causing the county to have to fix it. “That ramp is one of the most difficult ramps in the county,” Peterson muttered. “No, no,” Nichols corrected. “It is the worst ramp we have.” • The committee approved the construction of a 32-foot by 40-foot maintenance shed on the grounds of the Timberline Hills ski trail in the Town of Roosevelt. The building, to be built by the Cumberland Area Ski Trails Association (CASTA), would be adjacent to the warming shed already on the property. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel.

Grappling with its sign ordinance BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like a new business in town to test the waters when it comes to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed and what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed according the Village of Grantsburg sign ordinance currently on the books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they are asking for doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet our sign ordinance,â&#x20AC;? Glenn Rolloff, village president, declared at Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s village board meeting. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;? in question are the new owners of the Sinclair gas station at the corner of Highway 70 and Pine Street â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mille Lacs Oil. The multiple sign request by Mille Lacs Oil is asking the pylon sign (stand alone) to be 35-feet high, in addition to the Subway restaurant signs they want to add two Dino Mart signs to two sides of the building and replace BP signage on the canopy over the gas tanks with Sinclair signage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything gaudy in what they are proposing,â&#x20AC;? Rolloff pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to extend our ordinance to include what they are asking.â&#x20AC;? Following the action, the current pylon sign will be removed, except for the footings, and a new Sinclair sign will be added â&#x20AC;&#x201D; simply two poles with a Sinclair sign on top. Rolloff interpreted that as good news.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For golfers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to have the sign higher so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it,â&#x20AC;? he reasoned. The sign permit was unanimously approved. But that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the end of the discussion. With TA Operating LLC taking over the Holiday Station and other future business changes, Jennifer Zeiler, village clerk, told board members the sign ordinance hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been modified since 2009 and re-codification of all the villages ordinances ought to be updated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sooner rather than later.

Mandatory sewer/water hookup 1992 was the first year there was discussion surrounding mandatory sewer and water hookup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push it because it was an expense for homeowners,â&#x20AC;? Sheila Meyer, village treasurer, pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We figured homeowners would make the switch when their system needed replacing.â&#x20AC;? That hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there are still seven or eight homeowners who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made the switch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23 years of a dangerous source of groundwater contamination,â&#x20AC;? Rolloff said of the septic systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an ordinance on the books about mandatory hookup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we just need to enforce it,â&#x20AC;? Meyer noted. But board members wanted more.

They authorized the village to draft a letter giving the holdouts one year to make the switch before the penalty phase would kick in. In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ The board authorized a $3,150 bid to Asbestos Removal Services to inspect and remove any asbestos or asbestos material from the former D&J Manufacturing building. â&#x20AC;˘ The village did not get any response from its plea for transfer station ownership proposals and, for the foreseeable future, will continue to operate the site as a yard waste and recycling center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping a local person might find it possible to run a successful transfer station,â&#x20AC;? Rolloff mentioned. â&#x20AC;˘ The board approved an additional one-year lease for the Grantsburg Area Food Shelf to remain where it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had several suggestions about moving â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to heat the old fire hall and the old ambulance garage wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? Linda Anderson, president, told bard members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford anywhere but where we are at.â&#x20AC;? With that, the board unanimously approved the lease. â&#x20AC;˘ Chris Bartlett, public works director, said the annual street sweeping should commence toward the end of the month or on early November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has taken the leaves forever to A representation of the new sign for the Sinclair station. start falling,â&#x20AC;? he explained.

Siren PD to continue offering DMV services BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The adage “No good deed goes unpunished,” is coming to fruition this fall. Currently, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Services office in Siren, which is only open two days a week, does drivers licenses and road tests but, based on the success of the Siren Police Department, will begin offering title and registration of new vehicles. “They won’t tell me when exactly, just sometime this fall,” Chris Sybers, police chief, pointed out during his report to the Siren Village Board, which met on Thursday. “It’ll hurt but I don’t think it’ll be too bad.” The biggest reason for this interpretation of events is the number of personnel at the DMV Center. “There’s only two people working there,” Sybers explained. “If one is out on a road test, that leaves one — if you happen to be third in line, who is going to burn up their lunch hour trying to get a license?” Even though Sybers only can offer a staff of one, and even pitch in himself if things get overwhelmed, it’s a smoother process at the police department. “People are in and out in 10 minutes,” he insisted. “The Department of Transportation won’t let me license campers or trailers over 3,000-pounds —but most of the other services we can do.”

The discussion was sent to the board’s public safety committee for consideration of amending the ordinance. A decision there would be brought back to the full board for action.

For the month of September, those services rendered netted the police department $1,164 — close to what the department has been averaging. But the threat of DMV Services expanding its services has the chief doubting his 2016 budget projection. “I put in $15,000 as revenue to be collected through our DMV services,” he stated. “With what they are going to start offering, I don’t know if we’ll hit that mark.” Jan Hunter, board vice president, told him not to worry. “People are happy with the service here, they are used to coming here so they’ll be back,” she anticipated. And that reassurance sits well with Sybers. “Just because they are going to start offering these services doesn’t mean I’m going to stop,” he concluded.

Solid fuel heaters The eight year-old village ordinance denying the installation, maintaining, using and/or operating of an outdoor solid fuel furnace within the village limits is back on the discussion block. Pellet-type furnaces are the exception to the ordinance. The issue came to the surface when a resident inquired about an outdoor solid fuel furnace and was summarily denied due to the ordinance. “I’d like to see us change that ordinance and give people the option,”

Chris Sybers

Dave Doty, trustee, voiced. “I know stack height and aesthetics are two of the main concerns but those can be addressed when amending the ordinance.”

In other business: • The village board will discuss the merits of taking over the duties of the Siren-Lakeview Cemetery Association following a plea they heard Thursday. “With the death of our secretary, we as a board have decided the village should take over the duties of the association,” Louie D’Jock, association board member, told the village board. He said check-writing, which amounts to about 10 checks a year, plus records being kept at the village hall, would be involved in the duties. The board will discuss the situation, make a decision and relay that decision to the association. • The fourth and final pay request by McCabe Construction for the 2015 Siren water main project, in the amount of $49,000, was authorized by the board. “Their crews have completed the punch list of items which we gave them last month,” Teresa Anderson, MSA planner, told the board. “Even though this represents the final payment, the work does come with a one-year warranty.”

Many folks wonder how long lo they can wait to winterize cabins and outdoor plumbing. For water pipes that are directly exposed to outdoor air, the ﬁrst hard frost could, in theory, theo cause a burst. For pipes that are located inside an unheated unheate building and are sheltered from outside air, you probably pr have a little more time. These pipes usua don’t freeze until usually it gets ge cold enough that the temperature t outside is staying sta near or below freezing freezi all day long. But when in i doubt, it is best to error on the t side of caution.

Tearing down the past GRANTSBURG— Last week we bid farewell to the old church on Wisconsin Avenue in Grantsburg. It was the former Swedish Lutheran Church, built in the 1880s, when most residents spoke Swedish or Norwegian at home and church while learning English. Lutheran Bible School and Sunday School classes met there into the 1950s. Around 1905, second and third generation immigrants wanted their church services in English. The Norwegians with friends, who met in the church which later became the Grantsburg Museum, merged with members of Swedish Lutheran church. They formed the English Lutheran congregation and built a new church where Crexway Court now stands. Until a couple years ago, the Swedish Lutheran Church retained many of its features, including simple stained glass windows, its stamped-tin ceiling, its altar and the four tin turrets on the steeple. They surrounded the metal cross that the woodpeckers banged on to claim their territory. Those items were all sold, and the cross too. Also coming down is the garage beside the old church which bears the distinctive stucco style known locally as “hamburger and pickle.” While the hamburger and pickle house (former parsonage) still stands, it was painted gray a few years back. So, goodbye to two landmarks of the 19th and 20th centuries. By Steve Briggs.

NOVEL IDEAS Quite a shocking historical ďŹ ction title Rarely has a novel surprised me more than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church of Marvels.â&#x20AC;? No spoilers here! Just dive into this throat-grabber by Leslie Parry, a book that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let go until the epilogue, when all is revealed. Parryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice is graphic in her depiction of 1895 New York, and its seamy characters. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one heck of a story, actually three narratives that intersect. Sylvan Threadgill is a night-soiler â&#x20AC;&#x201D; earning coins cleaning out privies in tenement houses. When he discovers a baby in the muck, he takes the infant to a woman he trusts, and begins a search to locate the newbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. On Coney Island, Odile Church spins on The Wheel of Death as â&#x20AC;&#x153;blades zinged through the air and lodged, humming, next to her ears and above her shoulders.â&#x20AC;? Her mind isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the act, but on recent tragedies. Her mother, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fabled Tiger Queen of the sideshow,â&#x20AC;? was killed in a fire that reduced the Church of Marvels, a Coney Island attraction, to ashes. A short time later, her twin sister Belle leaves home, a letter left behind begging forgiveness for her departure. The Church of Marvels is being run by a huckster, any class the show previously had â&#x20AC;&#x153;tawdry and misshapenâ&#x20AC;? in Odileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. When a mishap occurs on the wheel, Odile takes off for the city determined to bring Belle home. Alphie has lived on the streets since she was 14. She ekes out a living as a penny Rembrandt, painting over eyes blackened by barroom brawls, and adding color to the sallow cheeks of opium addicts. When she meets Anthony, an undertaker, they begin a torrid love affair, much to his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disdain, her hatred landing Alphie in Blackwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lunatic Asylum, where she bears inhumane treatment at the hands of the twisted nurses, and befriends a beautiful woman who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of happy in â&#x20AC;&#x153;House of Marvelsâ&#x20AC;? but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laden with mystery and action, making it a novel to speed through, simultaneously appalled and addicted. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredible first novel by a gifted writer who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave a single narrative thread dangling. * * * * *

A departed authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nal gift to readers

When Kent Haruf died last year at 71, the world lost a marvelous, talented writer. He left behind a noteworthy legacy, beloved novels, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Benediction,â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventide â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plainsongâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tie That â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventide,â&#x20AC;? Binds,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Souls at Night,â&#x20AC;? which will be released next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Soulsâ&#x20AC;? is the spare, touching story of Addie Moore and Louis Waters, neighbors in a small town whose spouses have passed away. Addie knocks on Louisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; door one day; he invites her in and is taken aback at her request. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he as tired of being alone as she is? Nights are the hardest. Why doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Louis come over and share a bed with her? No sex, just spend time â&#x20AC;&#x153;lying warm in bed, companionably.â&#x20AC;? The next night, after a long shower and a new haircut, Louis tramps up the alley, paper bag in hand with his pajamas and toothpaste. So begins an odyssey neither thought possible at their age â&#x20AC;&#x201D; intimacies shared in the dark, a budding relationship forming. Addie and Louis replay their pasts, an affair, the loss of a child, the ordinary ins and outs of their marriages, as townsfolk gossip, and Addieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son grows increasingly hostile about their nightly trysts. There is wisdom and pathos in this small treasure, only 179-pages long. As well as being a story about love, regrets and hope, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cautionary tale that reminds us to respect the choices older people make, no matter how foolish they may seem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Soulsâ&#x20AC;? made my soul soar. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marvelous tribute, a final parting gift from a writer admired by many, a gentleman who I once had the pleasure of interviewing at a diner in Illinois when he was a professor at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. How he will be missed. * * * * *

ally diagnosed with leukemia, leukemia the boy dies, leaving Paul in shock and Meredith distant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life goes on,â&#x20AC;? Meredith tells Paul â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not for this couple. Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death is a nail in the coffin of their marriage. Mired in grief, Paul demands solitude and moves from busy Hong Kong, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lived for 30 years, to Lamma, a quiet island separated from the bustling city by a thin channel. Paul cuts himself off from everyone, except his longtime friend Detective Zhang Lin and his wife. When a young American executive disappears, his mother Elizabeth Owens, in China on a visit, calls on Paul for help, after they meet quite by happenstance. Elizabeth puts her trust in

long long, and she and her husband have no idea who to turn to. Paul refers them to Zhang, who encourages Paul to assist with the investigation. Sendker is a master at balancing Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grief and newfound love affair, with burgeoning tension over the investigation, and frosting both narratives with engrossing information about China, as past secrets are revealed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare to see a writer achieve this balance, but Sendker keeps all the balls in the air to perfection, making this new novel a personal favorite. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first of three books to feature Paul Leibovitz. Next April â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dragon Gamesâ&#x20AC;? will be released. Reprinted with permission, Missourian Publishing Company.

Good Morning Northland Anchor Maarja Anderson and Photojournalist Glenn Kellahan were honored with an Emmy® Award in the “Military” category for their story, “Loved Ones Lost, Letters Found.” When a woman called our newsroom to say she’d found a box full of letters from World War II in her basement, we knew it was a story that would require extra attention. “It was such an honor to reunite a family with a piece of their history and I will never forget the moment when Bunny Kangas first opened the shoebox full of her brother’s letters from WWII,” Maarja said. Adding, “Thank you to the Lanthier family for letting us share their story.” Maarja and Glenn worked with a genealogist and others to track down relatives of the three brothers who wrote the letters, and put them back in the family’s hands again. “It is the kind of story and subject matter in which the newsroom takes a lot of pride,” said News Director Steve Goodspeed. “Three young brothers went to war for their country. With the historic and emotional importance involved, Maarja and Glenn took on the story with a great sense of responsibility to try and find answers — and surviving family members,” Goodspeed added.

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

Katsu (Japanese name meaning “victory”) is a one and onehalf year-old Siamese stray that I was involved in rescuing recently. This fellow had been showing up at my house for the past six to eight months now. Katsu was extremely friendly, but took over our patio and followed us around the yard and in the garage. I believe he had a home at one time Katsu because he was just so trusting, outgoing, and laid-back. However, he either escaped his home or his owners abandoned him as he was skinny, hungry, un-neutered, and never far from our place. One day I decided to see if I could capture Katsu. I had never tried picking him up and, before using a live trap, I just decided to see if he’d follow me up to my porch. And he did just that! Next step was getting him into a carrier once the shelter told me they had room Luna for Katsu. I put a little treat in the carrier and he promptly walked in. Katsu is now safe and sound at the shelter. He has adapted well to his new surroundings and loves attention. Katsu is a good-looking guy and my hopes for him is that he will find a loving home, inside! When I went to visit Katsu a week after I brought him to the shelter, I spent 15 minutes cuddling and cooing who I thought was Katsu, only to find out it was a HER and HER name was Luna. They looked so much alike! Luna is a 12 year-old Siamese who is just as friendly as Katsu. This beauty came right to me and strutted around like she was on a runway modeling for America’s Next Top Feline. I was very surprised that Luna was a senior. However, I’ve known many cats that lived long lives of 19, 20, or even more years. Because of this kitty’s age and because we want to find her a furever home, we are waiving the adoption fee. Our only requests are that you treat her as the diva she’s meant to be and that she is an only child. I’ve been working with cats since 2009 and, although I’m not an expert, I want to share my thoughts and observations on cats being indoor/outdoor cats. I’ve rescued many cats, from the kittens that were born outside and feral, to the semi-feral adult cats that were once someone’s pet and either were abandoned or ran away from home. People have said to me that because their cat lived outside for part of their life, they had to let them out. People have said to me that their cat longs to go outside, so they let them out. Most cats sit in front of a window. A lot of cats will try to get outside when there is an opportunity to run out the door (like my cat Lucky). But when kept inside, cats will adapt and will be just fine living indoors. Every time you let your cat out, you take the chance that they may not return. According to https://www.vetinfo.com: “Outdoor cats live less as they are exposed to viruses, bacteria, accidents and fights, which can endanger their health. A pet that spends more time outdoors may live on average two to three years less than a cat that lives exclusively indoors. In addition, unexpected accidents may end an outdoor cat’s life at any time. Stray and feral cats live significantly less. On average, a stray cat lives five years if he is in a community of cats and two to three years if he lives by himself.” So, my advice is to spay and neuter your cat and keep them indoors!

A&H—”Let ‘em go — let ‘em grow” has always been Don Christensen’s motto when it came to harvesting deer. “My philosophy definitely paid off this fall,” the disabled hunter said with a grin. “I had been spending my archery season trying to put things together with a real bruiser buck I’ve been seeing around my place,” he pointed out. “I’ve gotten close several times but never close enough for my crossbow.” Well, things changed for the better with the onset of the Wisconsin disabled hunt, which happened last week. “I was able to spend my time in the woods with my rifle instead,” he noted. It all came together Saturday evening when Christensen was able to harvest his “bruiser” of a buck. “He weighed 210 pounds dressed and carried a gorgeous 10 point rack,” Christensen bragged. “I was using my .243 with my joystick control rifle rest and my adapted scope…” He has appreciated all his kills but this one was extra special. “This one was extra special as I had two of my caregivers in my stand with me when I took this shot,” he said. “It was so cool because neither of them are hunters — it was a tremendous experience for both of them. I’ve always taken pride in my inde-

pendence but sharing this was incredible.” But the story doesn’t end there. “After the shot, several friends and neighbors showed up to re-

cover the deer and take care of it,” Christensen concluded. “It turned out to be another reminder of how wonderful people can be.”

Are you ready for electronic registration? MADISON - In the first year when Wisconsin is using electronic registration as the sole method for hunters to register a deer they have harvested, state wildlife officials have provided hunters with a number of convenient options to consider. Hunters can register their deer online at gamereg.wi.gov, by phone at 1-844-426-3734 (1-844-GAME-REG), or electronically at a participating in-person registration stations. A link to the electronic registration system will also be available through the Pocket Ranger app for mobile devices. As of Sept. 27, 17,387 deer (7,236 bucks and 10,151 does) have been registered using this new system. Registration totals will be updated weekly - for more information, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keywords “weekly totals.”

“The feedback we’ve been getting from hunters so far has been positive,” said Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp. “They like the convenience. The ability to register a deer online in a matter of minutes without leaving deer camp has made the process easier than ever.” While many hunters have taken advantage of the convenience of registering deer in the field, there are currently more than 200 businesses listed on the DNR website as registration stations this fall. At these locations hunters can use the online tool or a phone to register a deer. To find a nearby station, hunters should search keywords “registration stations.” It is important to remember that the harvested deer does not need to be physically with the

hunter at the time of registration - all that is required is hunter and harvest information. The registration system will prompt hunters to answer a series of questions and generate a 10-digit confirmation number, which must be written on the carcass tag attached to the harvested animal. Hunters are reminded to write the 10-digit number on their tag - feedback from the field has found that ballpoint pens are the best option for this task. When this registration number is written on the tag, the animal is considered legally registered. All deer must be registered by 5 p.m. the day after the deer is recovered, and hunters must retain the tag with confirmation number as proof of registration until the deer has been consumed.

Craning for a better look BY MEG ROD

SENTINEL INTERN

GRANTSBURG—Most times, people follow the golden geese painted on the road in order to arrive at the Crex Meadows Wildlife Education and Visitors Center. On October 10, almost everyone was following the Greater Sandhill Cranes instead. The Crex Crane Festival is an annual event that has reached its 33rd year of festivities. Birders from around the state gather to observe the migratory behaviors of the cranes and how they find sanctuary in the reserve. At dawn, the cranes fly from their roosting grounds in Crex Meadows out to where they feed during the day. The cranes rise from the marsh, A lone crane takes wing.

DARLA BECKMANN

MEG ROD | SENTINEL INTERN

Birding enthusiasts boarded a van at Crex Visitor’s Center to go looking for cranes.

and anyone who is out in the morning can see the event. “I like to see the beautiful setting, the sun and the number of cranes that utilize this area,” remarked Jennifer Miller, a visitor to Crex all the way from Marshall. On Saturday morning an unofficial tally was taken of the cranes by a few volunteers. The total from the two hours ended up being 800-plus for one site, and 6,000-plus for the other. This is only the beginning though. “We get somewhere between 12,000-20,000 cranes each year in the Crex Meadows Wildlife Area and the county.” commented Kristi Pupak, the Wildlife Conservation Educator at the center. The Crex Crane Fest is apparently something known by people living in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Christina Weese, a visitor, said that she and her friend heard about this event from a ranger in Whitewater, Minn. “We got up at 5 a.m., saw the sun rise, and saw the cranes. Plus, the ranger told us that it was an amazing thing and just a neat little event that not a lot of people know about.” After the early-birders got done with the morning event, they arrived to the mess hall for a breakfast of wild-rice pancakes served by volunteers. Made from ingredients grown in the area, they did not disappoint the crowd one bit. “We were very much interested in the pancake concept — and we love to eat. But I’ve never had wild rice in pancakes before and they were fabulous,” chuckled Paul Harris, another visitor that took part in the festivities with his family. Donations from the breakfast will go toward Crex’s mess-hall fund. Plans to make a new building that will have a commercial kitchen are underway, as well as space for a classroom. “There’s kids from all over northwestern Wisconsin that come for two weeks to work, get paid, and develop job skills. It’s really cool and then we will be able to use it or our educational program at Crex and the community will also be able to use it.” elaborated Kim Wheeler, the Friends of Crex coordinator and

natural resources educator. By 5 p.m., people were piling into the vans ready to go on the property to observe the cranes return to the marshes for the night. Pastor Mark Peters, executive director at Luther Point Bible Camp, was one of the providers of transportation. The camp even collaborated with Crex in order to house some birders closer to the wildlife refuge.

“They are timing their visits with the Crex Crane Fest and also the migration — so we’ve got guests migrating through, too.” commented Peters. The guides were just as excited to see the cranes as the guests. Dick Sandve, the Friends of Crex president and an avid birder since 1980, always thinks it’s a hoot to help out. “Just showing people birds and taking beginners out, I enjoy doing that.” A new addition this year was the Crex Crane Fest Medallion Hunt. Beginning on September 19 at Grantoberfest, buttons were being sold to the public, which ensured their slot for the hunt. Anyone who had an eye for adventure and one of these buttons could now explore Crex, in search of a medallion which rewarded $100 to whoever found it. A winner was already announced by the first of October. Hidden amongst the brush by a tree on West Refuge Road, the medallion was found by Kara Lee. It is worth noting that the Crane Fest used to be the Fall Fest, which was based around the migration of many birds. “This has been the first year that we have focused it on the cranes, and we try to do annual events for the public so they can understand a little more about wildlife management and what we do here,” explained Pupak. Whether it be based on one specie of bird or many, this event never fails to impress. “It’s really quite a spectacle to see those cranes come in when there’s 10,000 or more and making a lot of racket,” recalled Jim Hoefler, one of the tour leaders. He hit the nail on the head when he called it a “spectacle,” because this event is a birders dream when it comes to the migratory birds that pass through northwestern Wisconsin.

Averting food aversions **Warning: Do not read if you suffer from a strong aversion to mushrooms, this may make it worse! As a child, my favorite place to hang out at recess was the edge of the playground where the grass grew high. It was the bug capital of the playground! I was obsessed with catching grasshoppers, especially in the fall when they were really big. This particular day I slowly creeped up on the biggest grasshopper I had ever seen when I came across a huge slug. The slug was so weird and slimy. I gently poked it with a stick and watched it curl up on itself. No harm done. But when I sat down at the dinner table that night, my world changed. My father served mushrooms. Many of you are thinking that Wild Chow mushrooms and slugs don’t have much in common, but to a little girl Lisa Erickson who spent way too much time looking at one hours before, they looked identical. They can both be slimy and the same color. The texture was what really got me. Poking a slug with a stick and poking a cooked mushroom with a fork had just about the same resistance. Thirty some odd years later, I can eat mushrooms, but that didn’t come without some serious mind control. My father loved serving whole, sautéed mushrooms over steak, and if you lived in our house, you ate what you were served. No if, ands, or buts! I learned two things growing up with those rules. First, if you keep trying the things you don’t like, you will like them eventually. Second, make sure your mother buys you pants with pockets, so you can stuff the foods you don’t like in the pockets—and empty your pockets before they go in the laundry. Food aversions come in all shapes and sizes, everyone has their own. According to Bruce Hinrich, psychology professor at Century College, it takes on average 6 -7 years for most people to “get over” a strong food aversion. But don’t give up; there are some tricks to help yourself get over it faster. When I was young I got the flu the same day my mom made lasagna. I didn’t eat it for years. After seeing so many people enjoying it, I started tasting it again and eventually forgot that it had made me sick. Gentle exposure seems to work the best. When a person has an irrational fear of something that isn’t normally scary or bad (think of frogs, butterflies, or houses), psychologists use exposure therapy to gently reintroduce whatever created that abnormal fear. They also use “mind-

ful meditation (imagery)” and relaxation therapy to help people control what they are thinking. They do it very slowly in a controlled environment, which seems to work, because the cure rate is almost a 100%. If you have a food aversion, press on and don’t give up, but take it slow and hopefully you to can have the freedom to eat what you want.

Sautéed Button Mushrooms ¼ cup olive oil 1½ lbs. whole white button mushrooms ¼ cup dry vermouth 3 Tbsp butter Seasoned salt to taste, I like Lawry’s Pepper to taste 1 clove garlic, minced Fresh lemon juice Fresh chopped parsley

Directions:

In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add mushrooms. Do not stir the mushrooms until they have caramelized on the bottom. (If you toss them, they will release their liquid and begin to steam too soon.) This will help create a nice flavor. When the mushrooms have browned slightly, toss them and continue to cook for about 5 minutes. Add butter. Cook and toss for 5 minutes, until browned. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and add the garlic. Sautee another 2 minutes, and add lemon juice and vermouth. Cook to evaporate the liquid, about 2 minutes. Toss in parsley and serve immediately on grilled steak or along side chicken or pork.

Pirates run to second at conference BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

BRUCE—Eight Grantsburg and three Webster athletes earned All-Conference honors for their performance during the Lakeland Conference Cross Country Championship meet in Bruce Tuesday afternoon. The Grantsburg Pirates, both boys and girls teams, earned a second place finish. “They ran awesome,” coach Andy Richardson exclaimed after the race. Jackson Gerber was the first Pirate across the line, finishing 8th overall in a time of 18:42. But it was freshman David MacKean, who finished second for the Pirates (18:47), 10th overall, who shined for the Grantsburg team. “David had a big race today — it was good to see,” Richardson praised. “Joey Duncan also had a good race (13th in 18:59)— it was nice to see the freshmen as our No. 2 and 3 runners today.” The final two scorers for the team were Spencer Louis (15th in 19:04) and Andy Hartshorn (19th in 19:30). All the boys except Hartshorn earned All-Conference honors. Joseph Ohnstad, who had been toward the top of the leader board for the Pirates all season, fell to 21st Tuesday.

“Joe wasn’t feeling well and didn’t have a good run,” Richardson explained. As for the Webster Tigers, Andrew Ruiz continued his streak of second place finishes and earned All-Conference honors when he crossed the line in 17:56. Teammate Joey Formanek, also an All-Conference honoree, had one of his better races of the season and finished 4th overall in a time of 18:28. “Joey ran a good race,” coach Roy Ward pointed out. “He really pushes himself and comes on strong in the big meets.” Darrick Nelson was third for the Tigers, 24th overall, with a time of 20:00. Teammate Mason Schaaf was right behind hime in 25th in a time of 20:22. “Darrick has been a good leader for us,” Ward reflected. “He’s always working harder than anyone.” The 5th runner to cross the line for the Tigers was Brett Johnson (20:35), finishing 31st overall. Webster finished third as a team and now look ahead to the sectional meet. “We’re looking to have everyone peak at Drummond.” Ward said. “We’d love to see a couple of Tigers finish the year at the state meet.”

CAMERON—The Grantsburg Pirates football team improves to 8-0 on the season with a 35-6 win over the Cameron Comets Friday night, securing at least a part of the Lakeland North Conference title and a playoff spot. The Pirate defense was “spot on” for most of this game, only giving up a late fourth quarter touchdown. Grantsburg’s defenders gave up only six first downs for the night, and held the Comets to 227 total yards. “Besides a couple of plays in the first half, I thought our defense played extremely well. Guys were in the right spots, we pursued hard and tackled well,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “For us going to Cameron, a team we haven’t beaten in four years, and get a big win was a good feeling. Our guys have continued to work hard and practiced well over the second half of the season and it’s been showing on Fridays.” John Chenal led the mighty defense with eight solo tackles and SEE PIRATES, PAGE 22

Pirates hold on against Cards BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—The Pirates volleyball team won a hard fought battle over the Luck Cardinals Thursday night, taking the 3-0 win to remain undefeated in conference play as they sit comfortably atop the West Lakeland Conference standings. The Cardinals improved since the last meeting with Grantsburg and put up a fight as they made the Pirates earn every point in some tight matches. The Pirates’ smart volleyball “know-how” helped them adjust to everything Luck through at them, getting the wins by scores of 25-23, 25-19 and 25-20. “Both teams played some amazing defense and there were long, exhausting, suspenseful rallies,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of the night. “We blocked well in the second set, but didn’t quite find our groove otherwise. Livi (Tucker) flew all over the court picking up hard hits in every corner. Jenna (McNally) stepped in and stepped up big time. Drew (McNally) covered tips very well.” Tucker and Delia Labatt led the team in kills for the night with nine, followed closely by Rhiana Pochman with eight and Cassidy Lee with seven. Tucker also led the Pirates in digs with 13. Drew McNally was next with eight, and Labatt with seven. “There was good team effort and positive energy from the bench. It was a battle, but the Pirates prevailed, despite Luck’s efforts to subdue us before the game with delicious garlic bread and lasagna,” Allaman-Johnson added.

the contest with a kill at 11 with Rightman making a kill to tie the game at 12. After a tie at 13, the Dragons slowly pulled ahead, forcing the Vikings to make mistakes. Two consecutive kills by Rightman made it 19-14. Siren went on to win the game 25-19. Game two went to the Dragons until Frederic knotted the score at 13. Emily Stiemann got the score to 9-5 on a kill and Rightman had another to make it 10-6. At 20-18, Siren got possession of service with Ashlee Rightman doing the honors. She went to rest of the way to enable the Dragons to win the game. In that last stretch, she made the score 23-18 with an ace. Frederic wasn’t going to give game three to the Dragons without a fight. They moved out to an 11-2 advantage. The points came basically on unforced errors by the Dragons. After a time out, the Dragons came back to work, going on a 13-4 run to tie the score at 15. After ties at 16 and 17, Siren went ahead to stay on a kill by Lizzie Stanford. Frederic called time at 20-17 Siren, The Vikings scored just three more tallies to the Dragons five and Siren took the match.

with Taylor Howe leading the way. Webster had a 10-1 lead before Luck took time out to get re-organized. Both Sophie Phernetton and Howe had a kill during that time frame. At 15-6, Howe had another kill to add to her numbers. Luck tried to crawl back into the game, slowly chipping away and go as close as 20-16 as Howe got still another kill. She had two more before game one ended with the Tigers on top 25-17. Game two was a reversal of game one whereas Luck came out ready to play and Webster was slow out of the gates. After getting behind 6-1, Webster found the going tough as they could only muster 11 points in the second game. Luck took this one 25-11. Number three was close until Luck broke an 8-8 tie with a hitting violation on the Tigers. Webster got no closer than one after that as Luck went on to a 25-16 win. It looked like Webster was going to knot the games at two apiece in number four as the Tigers had a 4-1 lead on kills by Howe and Phernetton. Luck, though, had different plans and went to Isabella Jensen and Paige Runnels repeatedly for the kills. The Cardinals went on to take the game 25-17 and the match three games to one. Howe recorded 18 kills on the night with two blocks, four digs and five assists. Phernetton had two aces, seven kills, nine blocks and two assists. Hailey Hunter assisted 17 times with two digs and Kaitlyn Moser added 12 blocks, five kills and three assists. Beavers fall to Tigers “I was very proud of how my girls played tonight,” said Coach Stefanie Janssen after a 3-0 (25-14, 25-20, 25-8) win at Cumberland. “They consistently made smart plays on defense and ran an aggressive offense. Julia Gavin, a freshman, did an awesome job stepping in for Kaitlyn Moser tonight.” Taylor Howe had 12 kills on the night with an ace and 10 assists. Bailey Woodford had six aces with a kill, a block and a dig. Gavin’s numbers on the night were two aces, eight kills, two blocks and three digs. Hailey Hunter assisted 20 times and had five aces.

Underclassmen contribute; Saints too much for Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS—”The boys fought hard, but in the end, we didn’t tackle well enough to stay in the game” related Webster Tiger coach Jovin Kroll following the 46-12 loss on Friday night to St. Croix Falls “We have struggled to stop the counter all year, and tonight was no different. I thought we were going to be in for another four quarter battle when we brought it back to a one score game midway through the second quarter, but then on back-to back-plays, they ran back a kickoff and then we lost Frankie (DeBlase) for the game on the ensuing kickoff return. Those two events took the wind out of our sails quite a bit.” “Our sophomores, who were stepping in all over the place, again played well, and we moved the ball a lot better than I expected to, truthfully, with all the shuffling we’ve had to do on the offensive line.”

SIREN—The above words are what Siren coach Ryan Karsten used to describe the Luck Cardinals after the Cards defeated the Dragons 70-6 on Friday night. “It’s hard to find a lot of positives when you’re getting your rear kicked.” Siren kicked off to start the game. Luck started on their own 24 yard line. Seven plays later, Chris Pouliot ran 53 yards for th first score. The 2 pt. conversion failed. On Siren’s first possession, they were forced to punt. The Cardinals took over on their own 32. On the first play from scrimmage, Pouliot ran 68 yards for the score. Again the 2 pt. conversion failed. Luck was up 12-0. Siren fumbled and lost the ball on their next possession. Luck, in eight plays, improved the score to 20-0 with the 2 pt. conversion being good. The Dragons were forced to punt once again and Luck used that opportunity to score on a 70 yard run by Austin Hamack. The two point conversion was successful, 28-0, still in the first quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Siren start-

ed on their own 32. After a sack by the Luck defense, Keenan Cook was on the receiving end of a Josiah Wegner pass and Cook took it all the way for Siren’s only score. The two-point conversion failed. Luck scored twice more before the quarter ended, thus it was Luck 44-6 after one. The Cardinals crossed the line twice in the second quarter, making it 60-6 at the half. Siren had a chance to score in the third period when Luck fumbled and the Dragons recovered on the Luck 41, but the Cardinal defense stiffened and the Cards subsequently took over on downs. Early in the fourth quarter, Luck scored their last touchdown on a 50 yard run. Later, a high snap from center went over the Siren punter’s head and landed out of bounds for a safety. Thus the last score of the game, 70-6. “Hopefully we will win next week and be able to be the sixth seed in the Jamboree,” concluded the coach. The season ending Jamboree is October 31 in Schofield.

pass for a touchdown and ran the ball in from 52 yards out. Stanze connected on the last PAT for the Saints and they were up at 46-6 at this point. Trevor Gustafson scored the second Tiger touchdown on a 4 yard run. The two point conversion failed and that completed the game scoring, 46-12. Taran Wols passed 20 times, completed eight, good for 69 yards. Jack Washburn was one for two for eight yards. DeBlase led the Tigers in rushing with 51 yards on 11 attempts. Gustafson rushed seven times for 41 yards. Trenton Wols rushed 13 times good for 18 yards. On the defense, Simeon Wilson continued his good work by making six solo tackles and two assists. Trenton Wols had four solos and two assists. Webster goes to Glenwood City on Friday for a 7 p.m. non conference game. “We’ll go hard for one more week before we hit the weight room this offseason,” finished the coach.

eight assists. Mason McEvers and Leo Chenal were next on the list sharing two solos and four assists each. Jake Wicklund had four solos with Austin Bowman ending the list at three solos and one assist. On the offensive side of the ball, Grantsburg put points on the scoreboard in every quarter of the game. John Chenal got the Pirates on the board midway through the first quarter on a three yard run. Avery Fagerberg kicked the point after to put the Pirates up 7-0. The Pirates struggled to move the ball in the second quarter, before Leo Chenal pounded it in from one yard out with just 8.3 seconds left in the half. The point after was good, making this a 14-0 game at the half. John Chenal added to the Pirate lead in the third, scoring his second TD of the night from five yards out. Again Fagerberg’s kick was true, making the score 21-0. The Pirates struck again in the third on a Fagerberg toss to Leo Chenal, who

took off and ran it in from 63 yards out. A key block in this play came from Brett Anderson down field to spring the long play. The PAT was good to put the Pirates up 28-0 heading into the fourth. The Pirates scored once in the fourth quarter as McEvers lined up at fullback and bulled his way into the endzone. Fagerberg’s PAT made it a 35-0 game at this point. The Comets got into the scoring column with 13.9 seconds left in the game to bring the final score to 35-6. The Pirates finished the game with 400 yards of offense. Fagerberg led the charge, rushing for 133 yards and passsing for 105. John Chenal tallied 79 yards rushing, followed by little brother Leo with 59. “On the offensive side of the ball we had a few assignment mistakes in the run game and missed some blocks but we came up with some big drives when we needed them and finished those drives with touchdowns,” coach Hale adds. The Pirates host Flambeau this Friday in the final game of the regular season. Game time is 7 p.m.

Lady Pirates second at conference meet tune-up Lexi Symond (87th in 31:47) and Elizabeth Freymiller (89th in 32:51) rounded out scoring for Webster.

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

AMERY—In the final tune-up race before conference, the Lady Pirates from Grantsburg brought home second place honors from the Amery Invitational Cross Country meet last week. The Pirates placed three runners, Brittanie Blume (3rd in 20:57), Hallie Jensen (4th in 21:04) and Grace Gerber (5th in 21:09) in the top five. “The three girls at the top had big races against some tough competition,” coach Andy Richardson said of his runners. “Grace has definitely stepped up big this year — she has gained lots of confidence as the year has gone on and that shows up in the way she races.” Rounding out Grantsburg’s top five runners were Danielle Bertelsen (44th in 24:38) and Maddie Duncan (26:07). All five of those runners are underclassmen. “It has been an exciting this year,” the coach praised. “And if they stay healthy all come back out next fall, it looks good for next year as well.” The Pirates finished second out of 15 teams. “Breaking up the divisions between large and small schools changed the scoring so the girls took 2nd in the small school division but overall took 2nd as well,” Richardson pointed out. “I think that shows a lot about the team coming in 2nd against that type of competition.” The Webster Tigers cobbled together a team for Tuesday’s meet but only man-

aged a 14th place showing. “The girls team is in need of some healing,” Roy Ward, Tiger coach, lamented. The first runner across the line for the Tigers was Sam Nelson, finishing in 22:23. She was followed by teammates Allison Mulroy (72nd in 27:16) and Sadie Koelz (76th in 28:23). “Sadie ran her best race of the season,” the coach observed.

“It was another perfect day to make great things happen,” coach Ward noted. And good things did happen for the Tigers — they placed two runners in the top 20. Junior Andrew Ruiz scored another second place finish when he crossed the line 17:46. Teammate Joey Formanek finished 15th in a time of 18:31. “The meet today was the last chance to tune up before the upcoming big meets,” Ward explained. “Our top runners are rocking it and poised well going into the tough races ahead.” The next three Tiger finishers were packed up at the end — Darrick Nelson finished 57th (20:23), Mason Schaaf was 61st (20:35) and Hunter Erickson was 67th (20:50). As a team,, the Tigers placed 10th out of 15 teams. For the Pirates, senior Jackson Gerber was the first Grantsburg runner across the line in 19:08, good for 23rd overall. Teammate Joseph Ohnstad was second for the Pirates, 31st overall, in a time of 19:21. “The boys had a solid effort as well — the main focus is just getting ready for conference next week,” coach Richardson commented. The other three scorers for the Pirates included Spencer Louis (38th in 19:37),

Yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the Church together

Pastor Paul Peterson Bethany Lutheran Church

The Reformation began 498 years ago with Martin Luther nailing the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Cathedral in Wittenberg. A slogan of the Reformation was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ecclesia semper reformanda estâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Church must always reform.â&#x20AC;? I believe we not only need to hear those words again, but must take them to heart. Have you heard the old joke: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How many Lutherans does it take to change a light bulb?â&#x20AC;? The answer being, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Change???â&#x20AC;? As a joke, or observation of our churches, this â&#x20AC;&#x153;jokeâ&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very funny. Yet Lutherans are not the only ones considered the frozen chosen: we all need to look at ourselves and

ask â&#x20AC;&#x153;What in us must die, so the Church can be resurrected?â&#x20AC;? We are at a turning point: we can either lament the fact that the Church no longer holds a favored status in our pluralistic society or we can seriously heed Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to pick up our cross and follow him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Jesus said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Repentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he called for the entire life of believers to be of penitence.â&#x20AC;? These words are the 1st of the 95 Theses with which Luther began the Reformation. Penitence is looking inside of ourselves and seeing the wrong that lies within and then praying for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace to give it up. We pray for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace to change us.

that we will encounter the radical love of God in such a dramatic way that we are forever changed. The truth is this: the only way our churches can make disciples, is if we change from being disciples with our lips, to living lives of true discipleship.
