‘What’s wrong with this picture?’ BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

... and so it begins Public works employees were busy clearing snow Tuesday morning as two inches of heavy, wet snow accumulated on village streets.
SIREN—Are there problems with the criminal justice system in Burnett County? Most would answer ‘Yes,’ but help may be on the way in the form of a Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC). While the council wasn’t before the Burnett County Board of Supervisors looking for formal approval earlier in November, it did want to inform members of the ‘why’s’ behind the program. “A part of the impetus for us forming this council is because of our drug court funding,” Ken Kutz, Burnett County Circuit Court judge, explained to the members. Up to this point, the drug court has been funded through a Treatment and Diversion (TAD) grant offered through the Wisconsin Department of Justice. “By 2017, a requirement of the TAD grant demands that we have a CJCC in place,” he continued. “We’ve talked about establishing a council before we even started the drug court,” Kutz added. “The council, similar to drug court, is where we gather everyone who is related to the criminal justice system in some way — the DA, a defense attorney, the court, the jail, law enforcement and probation and parole.” The goal of the CJCC is quite simple. “We want to identify problems in the criminal justice system, determine what causes those problems and come up with possible solutions,” Kutz enumerated. As circuit judge, Kutz knows jail overcrowding is one of the problems near the top of the list. SEE JUSTICE, PAGE 6

WEBSTER—Students leading parent-teacher conferences? Truth is stranger than fiction as 22 parents or sets of parents of the 39 fifth graders in the Webster School District took part in student-led parent-teacher conferences earlier this fall. Monica Gunderson and Laura Krenz, the fifth grade teachers who spearheaded the effort, were on hand at last week’s Webster School Board meeting to relay the outcome to board members. “It was the first time we’ve tried student-led conferences,” Jim Erickson, superintendent,
more involvement in the learning process, including taking responsibility for what they are learning, goes hand-in-hand with student expectations.” To that end, the students were able to show their parent or parents on their chromebook what they are doing and where they need to improve. “The teachers gave them a template and told them these are the things you have to talk about with your parents— what classes you’re being successful at, which classes need more effort, reading proficiency, that kind of thing,”

New postmaster in Danbury
Youth involved in accidental shooting FREDERIC—A 16-year-old Frederic youth is recovering from an accidental gunshot wound which occurred Sunday afternoon. Michael Coen-Nelson was southbound on 150th St. when a .270-caliber bolt-action rifle in the cab of the truck discharged and struck him in the forearm. The bullet passed through his arm and exited the rear of the truck cab. A passenger in the vehicle was able to flag down a passing motorist, who was
able to provide medical assistance to Coen-Nelson until law enforcement and an ambulance arrived on scene. Coen-Nelson was transported to St. Croix Regional Medical Center for initial treatment and was then airlifted to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, MN, for further treatment. The incident remains under investigation by the Department of Natural Resources.

SIREN—The new traffic roundabout which opened at the Highway 35/70 intersection near the Burnett County Government Center in late July might be causing some concern amongst motorists. There are still drivers of varying ages planning their trips on alternate routes around the county, all to avoid the new circular intersection. Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm’s main advice to drivers is one word: “Relax.” “Just relax and try the roundabout. After you go through it a couple of times, it will be old hat,” he counsels. Among previous jobs, Sheriff Wilhelm drove semi truck over-the-road. He did much traveling in the Northeast. “States like Massachusetts, New York and others out east have had roundabouts for 50 or more years,” he said. “We’re just starting to catch up.” WisDOT’s Chris Ouellette agrees. She is Communications Director for the DOT’s Eau Claire office. “We find drivers new to roundabouts are wary, but when we check back with them six to eight months later, they love it.” She cited a new roundabout in rural St. Croix County. About one year ago, a roundabout replaced the four-way stop signs at the intersection of State Highways 46/64, between Deer Park and Baldwin. “The 46/64 intersection is known as Four Corners. And, like your 35/70 intersection in Burnett County, it has a very high traffic count on weekends. They see heavy tourist and cabin owner traffic on Fridays and Sundays,” Ouelette said. “Now that the roundabout has been in place for a year, we hear people say they can’t believe how much more efficiently traffic moves through it than at four-way stop.”

your turn, don’t panic. Just continue to drive around the circle until you find your exit. Exits are always a right turn. 2) As you approach the roundabout, slow down. The Burnett County roundabout speed limit is 15 mph. 3) Watch for, and obey, traffic signs. 4) As you approach the roundabout, move into the correct lane for the direction you want to travel. Pay attention to the signs and get into the correct lane for your destination. 5) Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists as you enter and exit the roundabout. 6) Look to your left for traffic already in the roundabout. They have the right of way. 7) Enter when it is safe. 8) Keep your speed low and stay in your lane. Do not change lanes within the roundabout. 9) Exit carefully to your destination. Use your right turn signal just prior to your exit, to indicate your intention to exit.
Ouelette adds, “What people need to learn when it comes to a roundabout, and where we sometimes have issues, is drivers who are entering are not yielding to the traffic already within the roundabout. That’s what causes some of the minor fender-benders because drivers entering are not yielding as they should.” Roundabouts not only keep traffic flowing — they also reduced serious accidents. “We have found serious injuries and fatality rates decrease by 38 percent,” she stated. “Vehicle accidents become more of a property damage issue, not serious or fatal injuries.” Ouelette concludes, “Like anything in life that’s new, it takes getting used to. But, when we talk to people later on, their comments are that the roundabout works much better than they thought it was going to. They say it is sure nice to not have to sit at a stop sign and wait for an hour, while 45 cars get through ahead of me on a Friday night, while I’m trying to get to my cabin.”

is not going into competition with the Boy Scouts or other organizations to sell Christmas trees. Rather, their “Tree Lot” is a thoughtful, sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous look at human relations as they play out during the day of Christmas Eve. Written by northwoods residents Jan Lee and Tom Mitchell, the play takes place at Joe’s Tree Lot, where various customers find more than the wreath or tree they thought they were looking for. The weather is unseasonably warm and there’s no snow for a white Christmas, but individuals welcome the warmth of the company of others and the joy of keeping traditions alive as they meet family and new friends at the tree lot. Shows are set for December 4, 5, 11, 12 and 13. The Sunday performance will begin at 2 p.m. All others at 7:30 p.m. Tickets may be reserved on line at titw. org or by calling 715-468-4387.

Christmas is coming Do you realize it is only three weeks to Christmas? Yep, the gun-deer season is over, the turkeys which survived this fall are safe for another year and we are fully immersed in December — so what are we left with? Twenty-one days of commercialism. I watch a fair amount of TV so I count myself lucky that I have made it this far into the season without seeing a miniaturized version of Santa riding snow-covered hills and dales on a Norelco electric razor. Honestly, how old is that commercial? I guess their thinking is ‘Why not stay with a good thing ?’ Of course, their idea of a good thing and my idea of a good thing are miles apart. Christmas has to be right up there with the Super Bowl when it comes to marketing. All of these pitchmen and women are busy telling us how our lives are incomplete if we don’t have ‘this’ or we don’t do ‘that.’ Sorry, I wasn’t raised to want, want, want. So it goes without saying these Seems parasites make me a little angry to Me when they are forcing Beanie Todd Beckmann Babies or some such nonsense on the American public. What? Oh, I was told to put away my soapbox. So to break the commercialism, how about a Christmas movie? How about one of the classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” or “A Christmas Carol?” Too real, too emotional or you’re just not in the mood? How about some lighter fare? Maybe “Elf,” “Shrek the Halls,” Scrooged,” or “Home Alone?” To me, it’s just not the Christmas season until I see “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” I don’t care that I can’t keep track of how many times I’ve seen it. It just sets the right mood. Not a movie buff? Then get off your duff and go volunteer somewhere. Not that there is a plethora of soup kitchens in Burnett County, but volunteering at the Community Christmas Dinner at Siren School, for example, is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Or how about covering a shift at the neighborhood food pantry? Not only is there good fellowship and camaraderie, nothing beats that feeling of doing something to benefit those who are less fortunate than yourself. Maybe something more personal yet still meaningful? For the past four or five years the wife has taken part in some sort of Thanksgiving deal on Faceplace or whatever it’s called. It seems that for the month of November, each day people share something they are thankful for — leading up to the holiday. Maybe we could start something like that for Christmas?

A patchwork Christmas It’s just 23 days away. Are you ready for Christmas? Have you even begun? I heard about a month ago that a growing number of shoppers are getting their purchasing done before Halloween so they are able to enjoy the season instead of donning body armor on Thanksgiving to fight for From the the few door bustPublisher’s er priced items at chain stores. Desk I’m not that organized, but I sure Tom Stangl would like to be that way. As my wife decorates our home for the season, I often reminisce about past Christmases. For the record, I haul the boxes of decorations, my wife decorates. It works very well. Memory is a wonderful thing. By seeing, hearing or even smelling something, we can time travel to the point associated with the memory. During a decorating session at the office, I recalled the pine tree, bubble lights and silver painted plastic Santa, sleigh and reindeer. And the tinsel! So much tinsel you could barely see the tree! I also recalled hurrying to get my coat, buckle rubber boots and snow pants off to see what Grandpa
and Grandma had in store for fun. I knew that Grandpa was always ready for a game of Go Fish, and that he would have small bowls of lemon drops, malted milk balls and chocolate stars that I could enjoy in moderation. If I was well behaved, I could get some Squirt or Pepsi. Then I recalled going for a ride “to see the Christmas lights” with my father on Christmas Eve. When we arrived home, my mother assured me that we “had just missed” Santa. The bloodlust of present opening prevented me from questioning how this could happen year after year. When I was earning my own spending money from my paper route, I was able to buy gifts downtown at the Dime Store, Rexall Drugs or Coast to Coast. As I put on some Christmas music to set the mood and pass the time, (Amy Grant’s 1992 album “Home for Christmas” is a favorite) I recalled Christmases spent with my wife and daughters. The preparation for Christmas was very important. From gathering intel on what my daughters wanted to finding the perfect hiding place, stealth was the key ingredient. There was a Christmas when the Starter brand winter jackets were all the rage and I practically moved heaven and earth to get matching Toronto Raptors jackets for my daughters. Ahh, the thrill of the hunt before

the Internet... I also took my daughters out for a ride on Christmas Eve and we also just missed Santa... During my reverie, I bemoaned the fact that the Christmas experience of my childhood would not and could not be shared with my children and grandchildren. Those days are simply gone, lost to everything but our memories. I do believe that each generation finds a piece of the holiday — the ride to see the lights, a traditional food, the way gifts are opened — and uses these scraps of Christmas past to form a new quilt of holiday traditions. It has taken me many years to realize this, but the new “Christmas Quilt” is just as vibrant, just as rich as the source material it is constructed from. In fact, everyone has been making their own quilt out of past traditions and rituals since the holiday was first observed. Good luck with your shopping and decorating. Take some time to make memories for your “Christmas Quilt.” As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading. I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.
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 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 Defending Sam Shellito Dear Editor: I’ve known Sam 33 years. He’s been my son-in-law 32 years. When he and Dianne married, we gave them 10 acres of land. He built up the place by himself. The winter of 1991 was when he was in a terrible accident. He was driving a big old Cadillac, built like a truck. He crossed Fish Lake Road, went around a corner and he saw a deer crossing the road, he hit the brakes, but as the road was icy he went into a skid and hit a set of six oak trees. The brackets that held the seat broke and he was pushed forward and he broke the dashboard with his knees. He was unconscious when we found him. I saved his life that day. The seat belt was so tight acoss his chest it cut off the blood

supply to his brain. After I released the belt, he eventually came to. He has no feeling from his chest down. He’s had several mishaps over the years. When he was making fishing lures, the cat knocked a three-prong fish hook into his boot, When he took off his boot, his sock was bloody and he found the hook. I think a doctor had to take it out. He also stepped on a nail and he showed me where it came out on the top of his foot. He pulled the nail out of his foot. He can’t feel the pain. The car accident happened 24 years ago. He taught himself to walk with a walker, he can walk as long as he has something to hold on to. What is he supposed to do? Sit in a bar or casino all day? He’s been in hospitals in the Cities to get evaluated so he could get
disability. He would be a liability no employer would take a chance on, you never know when he will go down when his legs give out. Sam is steady when he believes he is right and he will fight to the end. Good for him. The stories that’s going about him being on Facebook is like a cancer, it builds up until it can destroy a person. I feel pity for the vultures that are doing it and I hope God forgives you. I forgive you for trying to destroy a handicapped man who is doing his best to provide a home for his family. Just hope it doesn’t happen to you. But maybe you need a dose of the same medicine, maybe you’d get your humanity back. Donna Shogren Grantsburg
Attracting skilled employees to rural communities MADISON–A bipartisan group of legislators have introduced a bill that would address Wisconsin’s rural workforce shortage by offering student loan relief to college grads who move to rural communities. The Growing Rural Opportunities & Workforce in Wisconsin Program, or “GROW Wisconsin,” which would pay off as much as $15,000 in student loan debt to individuals who relocate to rural communities, was introduced by Sen. Julie Lassa (D-Stevens Point), Sen. Luther Olsen (R-Ripon), Rep. Warren Petryk (R-Elva) and Rep. Nick Milroy (D-South Range). “Business leaders in rural parts of Wisconsin have told us that the state’s skilled workforce shortage is hitting them especially hard,” Sen. Lassa said. “GROW Wisconsin would offer an attractive incentive to encourage people with university and tech college degrees to come to rural communities, allowing businesses to grow and strengthening the economies of our small towns, villages and cities.” “It is essential that the Legislature do all that it can to attract
talented, young professionals into rural parts of our state,” Rep. Petryk said. “I have heard from many business owners around our district who are in desperate need of workers. With the passage of this legislation, we will be able to help our rural communities find the talented workforce they need.” GROW Wisconsin would provide grants that are Nick Milroy matched by counties that choose to District 73 designate themAssemblyman selves as GROW Com mu nities. Individuals who have completed a higher education program and who move into a GROW Community will have payments made on their student loans equal to 20 percent of the individual’s outstanding student loan balance, up to a maximum of $15,000. “It is important that Wisconsin has a skilled labor force ready to support the industries that are
starting and expanding throughout our rural communities,” Sen. Olsen said. “This initiative would be another tool for attracting workers to grow our economy.” “Today’s young people want the quality of life in rural communities provides - the scenic beauty, safe streets, affordable housing, good schools, and a strong sense of community,” Rep. Milroy said. “If we’re going to keep those communities intact, however, we must find new ways to attract more skilled, educated young people to live and work in these areas so that we can bolster job growth and create a stable tax base.” GROW Wisconsin is based on recommendations made by the Governor’s Council on Workforce Development, as well as on Kansas’ successful Rural Opportunity Zones program, which has helped rural counties attract millennials who are starting families and who want to take positions within their home communities or start new businesses.

Charley Erickson, Grantsburg electrician, engaged Gust to assist him in moving a small house. Charlie was getting the jacks ready to raise the building when Gust took a large timber, inserted it as a pry, lifted on end of the building, and held it while Erickson did the necessary work underneath. Gust needed to do some placing, so Erickson grabbed hold of the pry. As soon as Gust loosened his hold, the weight of the house flung the timber in the air, and Charley as well. He found himself on top of the building. — Journal, June 4, 1931

JUSTICE: New council to address concerns
County increases hangar rent BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“I met with Dean Roland when he was sheriff about jail overcrowding,” he recalled. “But the jail captain at the time, Terry Nesvold, was so innovative at eliminating overcrowding, we didn’t really have a need to go further.” The council is now looking at addressing the communication problem between the sheriff and village police. Even though the council has met two or three times, Kutz sees it as still being in the investigative stage. “We want to see what works and what doesn’t,” he said. “We want to duplicate what successful programs have done and avoid the problems less-than-successful programs have had.” The formation of the council seemed to have the backing of the board. “I don’t think we can afford not to do this,” member Phil Lindeman observed. “We have a lot of our departments experiencing problems due to the recidivism we have here in Burnett County.” He was alone in his thinking. “If we don’t intervene in some fashion, I think lives are in jeopardy,” member Jerry Pardun echoed. For his part, Nate Ehalt, county administrator, said he will work with Kutz and drug court coordinator Tessa Anderson in the coming months to solidify a proposal to bring back to the board. “We’ll address it through the public safety committee,” he concluded.
SIREN—No one will get rich off the deal but hangar leases at the Burnett County Airport, four in particular, were on the discussion block during November’s monthly infrastructure committee. The first lease, that of the Department of Natural Resources, expired at the end of 2014. “This is our opportunity to change the language in the lease,” Jeremy Sickler, airport manager, explained. According to the lease in effect the last nine years, the DNR was paying $1,555 per year in rent — $.10 per square foot for its 15,552 square feet of space. “They are looking for a starting point for negotiations,” he noted. His recommendation was to increase the base rate to $.12 per square foot, with a 10 percent increase compounded each five years and three 5-year terms. The committee expects the DNR will have a counter-proposal. When it comes to private-owner hangars, what the committee proposed is what the new leases will be. The new rate, for the three newly transferred leases, increases to $.06 per square foot, a two percent increase compounded every five years with an initial lease term of 10 years which can be renewed for an additional 10 years and another five years after that. “If they don’t like these terms, they can stay with the lease they are currently under,” Sickler said. The committee agreed the rates seemed low. “These rates don’t pay the bills (of running the airport),” Chuck Awe, committee chair, reported. “But I think we want to draw people to our airport.” But, that didn’t sit well with member Dale Dresel. “We have to be concerned with the tax-
Jeremy Sickler
payers in the county — not these fly boys,” he argued, when learning the rates barely covered winter ground maintenance at the airport. “ In other business: • Whether he knew it or not, maintenance supervisor Gary Faught has been thrust into the position of making sure the jail kitchen gets finished. “All of the equipment has been ordered and after Dec. 1, we will have two months to get it installed,” Faught remarked. “The only question now is the plumbing — will it be done by Christmas or will it be Jan. 31?” If the plumbing is easily rerouted, it’ll be the Christmas date — if there are problems, it’ll be the Jan. date. • An official time line for the new highway/forestry shop was reviewed. “It’s basically an internal schedule so
Kueny Architects and Associates can meet their deadlines,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator, said of the document. He did remind the members of the open house at the current shop from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 9. “The open house is so members of the public can see exactly why we want to build a new shop and to get their questions and concerns answered,” he explained. • Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, informed members the roundabout will probably not be officially finished until 2016. “There are still a couple of punch-list items left so I think they’ll leave the contract open until next spring or summer,” Hoefs pointed out. • Jeremy Gronski and Chris Sybers, representatives from Districts 4 and 12, respectively, were unanimously elected to their previous positions of vice chair and secretary, respectively. The two men, who had stepped down from the board in order to contend for the highway commissioner job, were reappointed to the board and their committee assignments last month. • The committee approved the retirement of Steve Washkuhn, highway operations manager, at the end of 2015. Hoefs, with Ehalt’s input, has already named Jeff Scanlon as interim manager and will work with Washkuhn for the remainder of the year. • The committee basically rubber-stamped the approval of a new building the Cumberland Area Ski Touring Association (CASTA) is proposing to build on the trail system it operates in the Town of Roosevelt. The approval was just a formality as both the county’s natural resource and admin committees already gave the project a thumbs-up. It was brought to infrastructure because it is a building on county property.

CONFERENCES: Tackling a new responsibility CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Erickson remarked. “It was more than just ‘Here’s my science project.’” In the feedback of the event, of the 22 parents involved, 21 rated the conference as a 4 or a 5 on a scale of 1-5, where 5 is the highest score. Erickson said education is no longer a matter of ‘sit and get’ but rather today’s kids being immersed in their learning. “It really instills confidence in the kids to not only know where they are, but to be able to explain it to others,” Erickson realized. “I’m very excited to see what this will bring to our kids.” He sees the 5th grade teachers doing the student-led conferences again in the spring, but perhaps expanding it to other middle school grades and eventually the high school. In other business: • The board heard anecdotes from six district teachers who took part in the iNACOL national blended learning conference held earlier this month in Orlando, Fla. “Blended learning is all about ways to incorporate technology into learning,” Erickson reported. “We had been to the state convention but we
wanted to see what’s out there on a national level.” He admits it was a long trip but very worthwhile. “Our staff has to be comfortable with technology in order to share it with the kids,” he stated. • Eighty percent of parents who responded to a survey believe kids having access to Chromebooks is a good idea. LeAnn Christensen and Crystal Houman presented the findings. “It was encouraging to see only three percent of those answering the survey didn’t have internet access at home,” Erickson said. But with only about 25 percent of parents taking the survey, he was cautiously optimistic. One interesting tidbit from the survey showed younger kids, like third and fourth graders, spend most of their computer time searching on the internet. Kids in middle school are starting to collaborate on projects, and kids in high school use their computer access time for writing papers. “The types of things they use the Chromebooks for evolves as the students get older,” Erickson pointed out. The survey did indicate a lag in parents knowing how to operate the different software
programs the Chromebooks can run. “We have talked a little about maybe setting up 20-minute mini-lessons before or after school plays, music programs, even ball games, so parents get some training on all the Google programs we offer,” he added. • In another technological-driven report, the board got an update from Houman on the “Kahoot” shared software program in use at the school. “It’s a program which, once you sign in, provides instant feedback on study questions,” Erickson explained. The program was initially demonstrated during the school’s talent show earlier this fall. Erickson said he could see offering it during plays and music programs. “I see it as a way to keep the community connected with the school,” he noted. • In personnel moves, the board accepted the retirement resignation of Connie O’Gara, whose served the district as an instructional aide for 23 years. The board also hired Scott Hoefs as assistant baseball coach and named Angela Gaffney and Stephanie Wambolt as volunteer coaches for the girls basketball team.
WISCONSIN BRIEFING Favre throws kind words at Packers successor, Rodgers GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)– Brett Favre threw some kind words at the man who replaced him at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Speaking at a charity function Thursday, Favre said that Aaron Rodgers is “almost too good.” “I mean that with all due respect,” Favre said. “I mean, all of my good records will be broken and all my bad ones I’m going to keep. When I watch him, he’s good. I don’t know what else to say.” Favre lauded Rodgers at an event for the Rawhide Boys Ranch, an organization that helps at-risk boys in Wisconsin. The retired quarterback has long supported the charity co-founded by another former Packers quarterback, Hall of Famer Bart Starr. Favre had his name and retired No. 4 unveiled on the facade at Lambeau Stadium at halftime of the Bears-Packers game Thursday night. Starr attended the game.
Man whose parents died hours apart sues ambulance company MADISON, Wis. (AP)–A man whose parents died within hours of each other has sued an ambulance company, alleging that the driver drove too fast and a paramedic failed to secure his mother as she rode
Luck’s
along while taking her dying husband to hospice care. The Wisconsin State Journal newspaper reported that Bruce Huibregtse is seeking unspecified compensation in the 2012 deaths of his parents. The newspaper reported that the driver wasn’t cited for traffic violations and that the owners of Ryan Brothers Ambulance couldn’t be reached for comment. Don Huibregtse, a longtime publisher of two community newspapers, was dying of cancer and his wife, Laurel, planned to be by his side in his final moments. They were in an ambulance on Nov. 26, 2012 on their way to a hospice care facility when the emergency vehicle suddenly stopped and Laurel Huibregtse hit her head. She died the next day of her injuries, according to the suit filed in Dane County Circuit Court. The lawsuit alleges that the driver was going “at an unreasonable and excessive rate of speed” and carelessly failed to keep a safe distance from traffic, leading to the sudden stop. The suit says another EMT should have made sure Laurel Huibregtse was seated safely in the back of the ambulance. Laurel Huibregtse was taken to a hospital with a spinal cord injury that caused “significant and severe conscious pain and suffering before she ultimately died,” according to the lawsuit.

sive training and experience in identifying drivers impaired by alcohol. Officers use many of those same procedures to identify drugged drivers,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Lieutenant Dori L. Petznick of the Northwest Region. “Drivers who exhibit signs of drug use must submit to a blood test that determines the presence of drugs. Refusing to submit to the blood test means an automatic revocation of the driver’s license.” In addition to illegal drugs, the overuse and abuse of prescription or overthe-counter medications, especially when combined with alcohol, often will impair driving ability and judgment. State law prohibits drivers from being “under the influence of any drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving or under the combined influence of an intoxicant and any other drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of driving safely.” Lieutenant Petznick says, “Drivers under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or a combination of the two are deadly threats to everyone on the road. That’s why officers never take a break - even during the holiday season - from arresting those who choose to get behind the wheel while impaired.”
WISCONSIN BRIEFING Give, but don’t get taken MADISON—For many people, the holidays are as much about giving generously to different charities as they are for giving gifts to friends and family. For scammers, the holidays are a chance to take advantage of your good will through fraudulent charities with high-pressure pitches. Two state agencies are asking consumers to research charities before making a donation and to be on guard against phone- and Internet-based requests for contributions. “Scammers can lay it on pretty thick this time of year,” said Frank Frassetto, Division Administrator of Trade and Consumer Protection for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). “They know that aggressive, emotional appeals are effective during the holidays, so keep a level head if asked for an onthe-spot donation.” George Althoff, Communications Director for the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), encouraged consumers to do their homework on charitable organizations when considering a donation. “A good measuring stick is determining what percentage of an organization’s donations are used for programs and services,” Althoff said. “Charities that
are well-run generally are ones that are spending a higher percentage of their funds raised on programs and services, as opposed to overhead costs.” Financial information about charitable organizations’ level of spending on program activities can be found on the DFI website at www.wdfi.org/CharitableOrganizations, Althoff said. DATCP and DFI offer up these tips for donors considering a donation to a charitable organization: • Before donating, check to see if the charity is registered with DFI. • If contacted by phone, avoid being pressured to make an immediate donation. Don’t hesitate to ask the caller to send you information about the organization and its programs. • Ask a solicitor to explain the purpose of the organization, what services are provided, how much of the donation goes to fund-raising expenses, whether the donation is tax-deductible, and whether you will be sent a receipt. • Donate to charities that you trust and are well-established. • To trick consumers into making donations, scammers will often use names and websites that are similar to those of better-known, reputable organizations. Watch the spelling closely. • Be wary of unsolicited requests for donations, especially ones received via

Dessert for breakfast? A few years ago a friend visited me from Washington DC. In the morning, I planned to make oatmeal, but she said she didn’t like it because it was tasteless. She was surprised that I liked it. I made a deal with her that if she didn’t like my oatmeal, I would take her out to breakfast to any place she liked. I grabbed a saucepan and mixed a handful of oats and whole milk and set it on the stove to cook. As it cooked, I read the Old Fashion Oats container. I was surprised that the directions called for water instead of milk. I realized that I had never looked at the directions but cook oatmeal just like my father did— by guessing at the amounts of milk and oats. When the oatmeal was cooked, I added a few drops of vanilla extract and a couple good shakes of cinnamon to it. I scooped the oatmeal into a pretty blue
bowl and topped it with a pat of butter. I poured a perfect ring of half and half around the inside rim of the bowl and sprinkled the whole thing with a healthy (or not so healthy) amount of brown sugar. Perfect! I proudly set the bowl in front of my friend and smiled. She took a bite, smiled, and exclaimed, “this isn’t oat meal. This is dessert!” I realize this isn’t the Wild Chow healthiest oatmeal, but it is tasty. The cream, Lisa Erickson butter and sugar do make it taste like dessert and I recommend eating it only on special occasions. We usually have a super healthy version loaded with almond milk, walnuts, and blueberries.
I think the big differences aren’t what I put in the oatmeal, but the type of oats I use and the way I cook it. The texture is super creamy and chewy at the same time. The trick is to stir the oats for the entire time you cook it. If you don’t, the oatmeal won’t get as creamy. Next, I always use old fashion oats. I don’t use the microwave either. It doesn’t create the same texture and the oats are tough. My friend makes “Lisa’s” oatmeal occasionally, but she still calls it “dessert” oatmeal. It can’t be any worse for you than eating a doughnut — right? If anyone asks you what you had for breakfast, you can still proudly say — oatmeal!
Dessert breakfast oatmeal Serves 2 1 ¼ cups old fashion oats 2 ½ cups whole milk, plus more
Salt to taste, a small pinch ¼ cup half and half, divided 2 tablespoons butter, divided ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ cup packed brown sugar, divided
In a saucepan, combine oats, milk, and salt. Place over high heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Turn heat down to low and cook while stirring continuously. Cook for 5 minutes until oats are creamy and cooked though. Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Scoop oatmeal into serving bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter it almost melted, add 1/8 cup of the half and half to the inner rim of each bowl. Sprinkle each with brown sugar and serve immediately.

BURNETT COUNTY—Starting this winter, a trail pass sticker is required on every snowmobile riding on Wisconsin public snowmobile trails, in addition to having the snowmobile registered. The trail passes must be purchased separately from the registration, and will be the responsibility of the snowmobile owner. You will not receive a notice from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) like you do when the registrations expire. The trail passes will be good for one winter and expire on June 30. The cost of registering a snowmobile in Wisconsin has changed from $30 for two years to $30 for three years. For snowmobiles registered in Wisconsin, the trail passes will cost $30 per snowmobile if the owner is not a member of a snowmobile club and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC). Trail passes can be ordered from the DNR by going to their website or from any DNR license sales agent. If you are a current member of a Wisconsin snowmobile club and the AWSC, you can order the trail passes for $10 from the AWSC. These passes need to be ordered through the AWSC website or the AWSC office. Contact your club or the AWSC for more information. All trail pass stickers will be delivered via U.S. mail. Trail passes for snowmobiles registered in another state have increased to $50 and will be available through the DNR and select vendors. Visit dnr.wi.gov and search “license agent” to find a vendor near you. All revenue generated from the sale of snowmobile registrations and trail passes goes into the segregated snowmobile account. This account, which is administered by the DNR, is used to fund law enforcement and the cost of maintaining the trail system and the required infrastructure, such as bridges, culverts and signs. There are nearly 25,000 miles of snowmobile trails
FIEDLER FORD, INC.
ASSOCIATION OF WISCONSIN SNOWMOBILE CLUBS, UNITY, WISCONSIN
open to public use across the state. Snowmobiling activities provide a huge positive economic impact to the state’s winter economy. The majority of these trails are located on private property thanks to the landowners that generously allow the trails to cross their property. More than 600 Wisconsin snowmobile clubs maintain the majority of these trails. Each fall, club members spend countless hours installing signage, brushing and getting the trails ready for when the snow arrives. Once the trails open, club members are responsible for spending thousands of hours grooming the trails to keep them safe and enjoyable. The clubs are reimbursed for the time spent working on the trails, but that doesn’t entirely cover the costs involved in owning and maintaining the expensive grooming equipment, which can cost up to $200,000 each. Snowmobile club members also conduct the majority of the snowmobile safety courses that teach the youth how to safely operate a snowmobile. For more information or to look for a club near you visit www.awsc.org.

Salvation Army seeks bell ringers, volunteers are needed SIREN—Every year the Salvation Army begins searching for volunteers to help ring the bell for the Red Kettle Campaign. The time of year when you begin to hear the bells ringing at storefronts is upon us. This year, the Red Kettle Campaign began November 14 and will go through December 31. This year has been a real struggle to find volunteers willing to be a bell ringer. “Volunteer Bell Ringers are the single most important part of our Red Kettle Campaign”, says The Salvation Army Fundraising Manager Angela Moulton. “Without a volunteer standing by our kettles, we do not get donations. Those donations can be life changing for many.” The funds raised from The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign are used help people who find themselves in an emergency situation. The Red Kettle dollars go towards helping keep people housed and warm and to prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless in Burnett County. Call 715-497-4438 to sign up to be a bell ringer.
Webelos Dominic St. John, Dawson Gardner and Jordan Johnson visited the Burnett County Sentinel last month to learn about the newspaper business.
NOVEL IDEAS Well-drawn characters make you wonder what it would be like to walk a mile in their shoes. Rajia Hassib’s novel “In the Language of Miracles” has several that will make you stop and think in a story sure to stay with you. The cause of the tragedy that Hassib writes about occurs far too often in real life. “Miracles” features an American and a Muslim family, and each chapter begins with an English and Arabic saying. For example, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away,” the Bible; and “God gave; God took; God will provide compensation,” Arabic. The sources for the quotes may be culturally different, but each mirrors the meaning of the other. Samir Al-Menshawys came to America to study medicine, believing he could “build a life for himself and his family here, while preserving their Egyptian roots.” He and his wife Samir buy a house in Somerset, N.J., where they move with their son Hosaam, happy to have the space because Nagla is pregnant with their second son Khaled. The first people they meet in their neighborhood are the Bradstreets, Jim and Cynthia, who welcome them warmly. A friendship develops between their combined families, the Bradstreet’s son and daughter and Samir and Nagla’s two sons and daughter. “Miracles” takes place over a five-day period a year after the families each lose a child. Cynthia Bradstreet is planning a memorial service for her deceased daughter; she visits Samir and Nagla to tell them about it but doesn’t invite them to the service, even though Samir wishes to attend. The loss of Hosaam has devastated the Egyptian couple, and cast teenage Khaled into a dark place. He seeks com-
fort in an online relationship with an older girl, while his Egyptian grandmother, who has come to live with the family during their ordeal, finds solace in the Qur’an. This is a riveting and important book. It drives home the fact that no matter what religion we practice or country we are from, we are more alike than we think. “Miracles” narrows the gap between us and may make us a bit more tolerant, understanding, and accepting. * * * * * Author Lauren Fox has penned her best yet with “Days of Awe,” a book about Isobel and Josie — best friends in a relationship fraught with deception that isn’t uncovered until Josie dies in a car crash. The book reveals Josie’s death on the first few pages, hooking you from the get-go. The story is told from Isobel’s point of view. She and Josie were friends for 13 years when Josie’s car careens off an icy road into a guardrail. The women met at an elementary school where they both taught. Back then Josie was single, and Isobel fixed her up with her childhood friend Mark. Soon they are married. While Isobel is dependable and predictable, Josie is charismatic and spontaneous, occasionally surprising Isobel with chancy larks and unbelievable stories. On one occasion, Isobel compliments Josie on a new coat, only to find out she’s shoplifted it — laughing the crime away as just an oversight. Still the women are fast friends, cohorts who share the same sense of humor and bond at work, seasoned teachers who’ll wear the same pair of pants four days running, much to the chagrin of a clique of smartly dressed younger teachers. Josie’s death throws Isobel into a tail-

spin. She feels no one understands her, and her marriage to Chris, already on shaky ground, suffers. The couple separate. Josie receives another blow when Mark tells her he’s fallen in love with one of the young teachers at her school. As Isobel wades through a pit of emotions, pinpricks of uncertainty about Josie dog her, and she searches out the truth about her deceased friend, looking up a handsome male teacher Josie mentioned to her. As Isobel deals with new disturbing information, her relationship with Chris deteriorates further and a new man begins showing an interest in her. “Days of Awe” enables readers to feel Isobel’s pain and sense the nagging doubt she has about a friend she adores, but one who seemed to be spiraling toward a bad end. It’s an engrossing novel, but far from cheery. *

Master storyteller Alice Hoffman will hold readers entranced with her latest work of tantalizing fiction. “The Marriage of Opposites” is the saga of Rachel Pizzarro and her son Camille Pizzarro (Pissarro), one of the fathers of Impressionism. Don’t rush this one — allow it to envelop you, your senses attuned to St. Thomas and Paris in the 1800s, “the place where everything beautiful began and ended.” On the island of St. Thomas the Pizzarros find religious freedom; Jews were guaranteed refuge from the Danish king, after they fled France, Spain and other countries. The book begins on St. Thomas before Pizzarro’s birth, when his mother Rachel is 12, the daughter of Jewish parents, a strong-willed woman and a father she adores. Rachel “doesn’t follow
the rules,” a trait she retains throughout her long life. Her son Camille is cut from the same cloth, a young man who makes his own way despite opposition, preferring to paint rather than work in his father Frédéric’s store. Frédéric is Rachel’s second husband, a man she loves with undying passion. It wasn’t so with her first marriage to Isaac Petit, nearly 30 years her senior, and the father of three children. Her father arranged the marriage for business purposes. Isaac is still mourning the loss of the wife he’s buried, but Rachel fulfills her marital duties and becomes a devoted mother. When Isaac dies, she finds support in her lifelong friend Jestine, an African, and the daughter of the family’s cook. Jestine suffers her own heartbreak— the loss of a love child whose father steals the girl away, taking her to Paris so she’ll have a better life. This narrative thread is woven with secrets revealed late in the book. With Isaac gone and no one to run the family’s business, young Frédéric arrives from Paris. He’s Isaac’s nephew, but that doesn’t prevent him and Rachel from falling madly in love and marrying, a marriage forbidden by law that causes the couple to be ousted from their Jewish community. With issues of race and religious freedom tied in with a marvelous story, and main characters pulled straight from history, “The Marriage of Opposites” holds strong appeal. The novel is enlightening as well. Knowing more about Pissarro’s background, and circumstances, make viewing his paintings even more enjoyable.

2016 Wisconsin State Park stickers now available MADISON—Looking for a holiday gift that keeps giving throughout the year? Give outdoor enthusiasts access to thousands of miles of trails, hundreds of nature hike opportunities, dozens of beaches, and some of the most scenic areas found in Wisconsin with a 2016 Wisconsin State Park admission stickers or state trail pass. 2016 stickers and state trails passes went on sale Dec. 1 at state park facilities and Department of Natural Resources service centers statewide. State park properties will honor 2016 stickers and passes for admission to parks, forests, recreation areas and trails beginning Dec. 1, 2015. The admission stickers are designed by high school students, and the winning design is chosen in a statewide contest. The 2016 Wisconsin State Parks admission sticker features two hikers under a starry night sky, designedde-
signed by Rachael Wirth, a senior at Appleton North High School. The winning design will be printed on state park and forest annual vehicle admission stickers and will be displayed on more than 265,000 vehicles. The vehicle admission stickers provide access to more than 60 state park, forest and recreation area properties

I am always a little reluctant to go into the kennel of puppies, especially Lab puppies because they tend to be on the overly friendly side. Not to mention that Mary and her brothers are already pretty big now. Well, all my worries faded when I entered Mary’s kennel and realized immediately that she was just the sweetest pup ever! She was gentle and loving and I enjoyed every minute with her. (I understand that all three siblings came to the shelter on the shy side.) And then there’s those eyes! Mary definitely had me wrapped around her not so little paws. We are always looking for donations to help replenish our Star’s Fund. This Fund is set up to help with out of the normal medical expenses; like Grayson’s heartworm treatment. If you find it in your heart and wallet to make a donation, be sure to indicate that it is for the Star’s Fund. As always, thanks for your support!

Curtin calls the shots school team. She is no stranger to this job title, though. “I coached for one year about five or six years ago because they didn’t have a coach lined up and I coached for several years a long time ago,” said Curtin, in reference to the high school girl’s team. When Curtin was asked if it was strange to see the same players make a transition from middle school to high school, she said it was an obvious but positive change. “It is exciting to watch students grow and develop and become more responsible,” she stated. John Dickinsen, the girl’s head coach from 2013-2015, is optimistic about Curtin taking on this role. “I think Penny will do a great job this year.

GRANTSBURG—Through the grueling drills, squeaking sneakers and successful shots made by the Grantsburg varsity girl’s basketball team, there is always a dedicated coach who wants to take the team to new heights. This year it just so happens to be Penny Curtin, whom the school is honored to welcome into the program once more. Curtin is an alum of Grantsburg, and played basketball under the coaching of Mike Amundson. She also played volleyball, softball, and basketball at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. She coached 7th grade boy’s basketball and 7th grade girl’s volleyball in the 2014-2015 season, and has moved back up into being in charge of the high
has done well as a head coach in the past. She knows the game very well and will do positive things for the program. I’m excited to see the girls in action this year.” Although she is happy to be in this new position, she knows it can be difficult for a team to get used to someone new. “There have been many coaches in this position with not much longevity. This is tough on the girls because they need to readjust to a new coach every couple of years,” she explained. Even with all the changes the girls have endured as a team, they still have as strong a backbone as they did in the past. “The program is coming off a couple of growing years after graduating a talented senior class in 2013,” Dickinsen added. “This year, the girls that played

together on varsity as freshman and sophomores will be older and more experienced. I anticipate them to do well this season with large team growth.” When asked to describe this year’s team with a single word, Curtin said the girls were “dynamic,” which she hopes will make them strong competition for surrounding schools. “We are working on team cohesiveness — working together and knowing our roles,” she pointed out. With this in mind, the ultimate goal for the 2015-2016 season is quite simple. “Our goal is to give a maximum effort every time we play, to play hard, play smart, and give 100 percent. We have two strong seniors on the team this year, and we also have nine juniors on the team. We will have quality leadership on the court at all times.”

‘Working hard but having fun on the court’ BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—Mathew Wood can now cross one goal off the list of goals he had set for himself. “It has always been one of my goals to be a varsity head coach,” Wood revealed during practice last week as he prepared for his first season as head coach for the Webster Tigers girls basketball team. “I was a little nervous at the beginning, but everyone here has been so supportive and I think I have learned a lot to keep the program going.” While the show is his for the 201516 season, Wood treasures his time as assistant coach under Andrew Harrison last season. “He was very passionate about the game of basketball and I learned a lot from him,” he remarked. “Especially on the defensive side of the game — he loved man-to-man and I hadn’t coached that in five or six years, so it was a good refresher.” Wood said that passion went beyond the game — that he was passionate about seeing the kids succeed off the court as well. “He and coach Jeff Roberts before
him set things in the right track to build Webster into a program,” he added. “Andrew was a great influence on me.” But now it’s Wood’s team. “You get to call your own shots — try to do your own things and experiment with your own philosophy of the game,” Wood explained. “I get to build up the program.” Just because Harrison has moved on doesn’t mean Wood has been

cast adrift. “Rob Scherrer (boys coach) has really helped me along, plus Mr. Roberts is just across the hall in case I have a question,” he stated. So the stage is set for the debut of the 2015-16 hardwood version of the Lady Tigers. “We’re going to apply some defensive pressure, hope that creates some mistakes and leads to offensive points,”Wood reported. “We’re going to try to be deliberate with the basketball — slow the game down, but were going to go 100 percent for all 36 minutes.” Wood saw a lot of talented seniors graduate last spring and is now fielding a team which boasts just two seniors. “We are going to lean on Lydia Wilson and Kaitlyn Moser, our two seniors, but we have a lot of kids coming up,” he realized. We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores who will play a viable role on the team.” “We are young but I’m hoping we can build those girls up,” Wood continued.

coach. “He’s got some kids in the program and he’s passionate about the game,” Wood noted. “He’s the best kind of assistant coach a coach could ask for.” Wood grew up in Eau Claire and played basketball at Eau Claire Memorial before moving on. He studied for two years at UW-Barron County before transferring to UW-La Crosse where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Studies broad field education. “I played basketball and golf while at Barron County and got a better feel for
the game of basketball,” Wood recalled. “My coach, Barney Slowey, really molded my love for the coaching aspect of the game.” It was more hoops while at La Crosse and his experience at Barron County led Wood to La Crosse Central where he coached for three years before answering the call to teach in Webster. The regular season tipped off for the Tigers Tuesday when Webster traveled to Siren to take on Ryan Karsten’s vaunted 1-3-1 defense. The home opener is set for Friday when the Frederic Vikings come to town.

Republicans propose term limits for Wisconsin lawmakers BY SCOTT BAUER ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. (AP)–Wisconsin state lawmakers and the governor would be term limited under a long-shot proposal being circulated by three Republicans in the Legislature. The constitutional amendment being floated this week comes 15 years after the last state-imposed restrictions on how long someone can remain in office, and seven years after the idea was last floated in Wisconsin. If the proposal wins approval, the changes wouldn’t take effect until 2020, and currently serving lawmakers and governor would not be covered. The restrictions would limit newly elected Senate and Assembly members to no more than 12 years in office, and the governor and lieutenant governor to eight years. But, the plan has a long way to go. Both the state Senate and Assembly would have to approve it twice over the next three years, after which voters would
be asked on a statewide ballot whether they wanted to add the term limits to the Wisconsin Constitution. Rep. Bob Gannon, a Republican from Slinger in his first term, is behind the idea along with Rep. Romaine Quinn, of Chetek, and Sen. Duey Stroebel, who is in his first year in the Senate after serving four years in the Assembly. Gannon said term limits would give lawmakers a sense of urgency and infuse the Legislature with fresh ideas. He laughed Tuesday when asked if he thought leaders would schedule the proposal for a public hearing and possible vote. “There is some push-back from legislators, which does not surprise me,” Gannon said. “This is truly a case where the citizens want it done, but the Legislature’s hasn’t gotten it done.” Gannon said he tried to make the idea as palatable to sitting legislators as possible, by allowing them to remain with no limits. But, the response from Republican leaders so far has been un-
derwhelming: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, in his 11th year in office, had no comment. A spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, in office since 1995, said he had not reviewed the proposal. Only 18 of the Legislature’s 132 lawmakers have been in office more than 12 years — the limit under the proposed legislation — and the average current tenure is just shy of 10 years in the Senate and five years in the Assembly. The nationwide push to impose term limits began in 1990, hitting its peak in the middle of that decade. No state has approved term limits since Nebraska in 2000. There are 15 states with term limits on state legislators, and all but Louisiana did so through a citizen-led initiative. That avenue that isn’t available in Wisconsin, meaning lawmakers here would have to vote on limiting their own time in office. Wisconsin is one of 14 states that have no term limits on the governor. During his failed 2006 run for gover-
nor, Walker proposed 12-year term limits for state legislators, as well as for the governor, attorney general, state treasurer and secretary of state. And, in his ill-fated run for president this year, Walker called for 12-year term limits for members of Congress and the federal judiciary. Walker has said he has “self-imposed” term limits. He has not served in any one elected position for more than 10 years. “I think in any job, not just in government, about a decade is about as much as you can do in exactly the same position before you start to become complacent,” Walker said in August during a campaign stop in New Hampshire. Walker served nearly nine years as a member of the state Assembly and as Milwaukee County executive. He’s in his fifth year as governor and has not said whether he will seek a third term in 2018.
One more memorable moment for Favre, Packers at Lambeau GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Brett Favre had one more memorable moment with the Green Bay Packers. With cold, driving rain drenching Lambeau Field, the Packers unveiled Favre’s name and retired No. 4 on the stadium facade Thursday night at halftime against the Chicago Bears. Favre thanked his former teammates and fans as the crowd roared approval. His family was on hand as well. “They get to see what it’s like playing at Lambeau when it’s cold, windy and raining. There’s nothing like it. I thank them so much for being so supportive all these years,” Favre said. “And most importantly, I thank you.” There was one more special welcome for Favre when Hall of Famer Bart Starr was driven to the middle of the field on a cart. The 81-year-old Starr is recovering
from two strokes and a heart attack. “It was awesome,” Favre said. “I got more of a thrill out of that than what I was here for. To see him that excited, at 81 years old, was pretty awesome.” The two former quarterbacks embraced. “(This) was more than likely his last time to be here,” Favre said. “It’s sad, but I really wanted him to be here.” Later, Favre exchanged a handshake and hug with current quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who replaced Favre as the starter in 2008. The long-anticipated ceremony is the latest step in a lengthy reconciliation between the Packers and Favre, the threetime MVP helped revive a struggling franchise when he arrived in 1992. The Packers won one Super Bowl and went to another during Favre’s 16 sea-
sons, but the sides had a messy divorce with Favre waffling about retirement. The great thaw started in July, when Favre returned to Lambeau for an emotional ceremony to retire his jersey and to be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame. “It was one of those moments you know that, much like today, much like tonight, you want to soak it all in. But then when it’s over, it still doesn’t seem real,” Favre said at a charity event in Green Bay earlier Thursday. Favre had been called a gunslinger and riverboat gambler during his career for making throws off his back foot, or across his body to a receiver in tight coverage. The swagger and playmaking ability also made him a fan favorite at Lambeau.

There was little surprise then when the Packers scheduled his retired number to be unveiled during a prime-time game on Thanksgiving, before a national television audience. “On behalf of the Green Bay Packers organization and fans, welcome home,” said team president Mark Murphy. This reunion didn’t seem likely after Favre was traded to the Jets in 2008. Favre then played for the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers’ NFC North archrivals, for two seasons. That was it for many Packers fans who deemed Favre a traitor. Those days seem to be long gone now. “All forgiven,” said Packers fan Jeremy Hasselbring, of Oak Creek, who was wearing a Packers Favre jersey. “I have his jerseys from the Jets and Minnesota,” Hasselbring said. “I knew what he was doing. But you can’t hate him for personal reasons for what he did.” Andrew Crow, of Stevens Point, said it wasn’t until two years ago that he was able to forgive Favre. “It was the Vikings that kind of destroyed it. But I’m here,” Crow said. “The Packers wouldn’t be where they are today without him.”

MADISON, Wis. (AP)–The Wisconsin Supreme Court says state troopers can stop motorists for littering. The court ruled Wednesday in a case involving Daniel S. Iverson of Amery. Iverson was driving in La Crosse in 2014, when a state trooper pulled him over after he saw someone throw a cigarette out of the vehicle in violation of the state’s littering law. He cited Iverson for drunken driving. Iverson argued the trooper couldn’t legally stop him, because littering is a non-traffic violation. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that police have the authority to investigate littering violations, and making traffic stops to probe such violations is reasonable. Iverson’s attorney says people should now realize police can stop them for tossing cigarettes from their cars.
Young hunter on first hunt gets two deer in one shot
Wildlife managers investigate shooting of sandhill cranes SHAWANO COUNTY, Wis. (AP) — Wildlife managers are investigating to find out who killed a pair of protected sandhill cranes in Shawano County. Stockbridge-Munsee Conservation Warden Beau Miller says the large birds were standing in a field near a road when they were shot, likely with a high-caliber rifle. He says a few people heard gunshots in the area, but no one saw the shooting. Green Bay TV station WLUK reports that the citation for shooting a protected sandhill crane is about $300 and charges could be filed. The Department of Natural Resources has been working with local conserva-
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)–A young hunter from the Green Bay area will have a hard time topping his first hunting experience — after he managed to get two deer in one shot. Ten-year-old Kyler Verbeten went hunting for the first time with his dad on Sunday. “I wanted to go hunting this year because I really wanted a deer,” he told WBAY-TV. He said spent some time watching a squirrel jump from tree to tree. But then he and his dad eventually saw two deer in the woods. “I said, ‘Shoot the big doe,’ because there was a smaller one,” said Matt Verbeten, Kyler’s dad. “He had the gun, and I’m kind of laughing, ‘We’ll see how he does, he’s 10.”’ Kyler’s first shot missed. But his dad told him to try again. “Boom. They just fell right over,” Matt Verbeten said. The shot went through both animals. “I was so excited I almost jumped out of the stand,” said Kyler. “I just ran down the ladder and ran out there to look at them.” Kyler’s dad used his tag and Kyler’s, since they weren’t planning on Kyler taking two deer. And Kyler is already looking forward to next year.
Republican wants to impound cars if drivers lack license MADISON, Wis. (AP)–Drivers without valid licenses who are pulled over by police would have to immediately surrender their cars under a bill proposed by a Republican legislator.
Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, of New Berlin, began circulating the bill for co-sponsors on Tuesday. He said in a memo to his fellow lawmakers that the bill would help stop drunken drivers who have lost their licenses from getting behind the wheel. “We have to stop letting reckless drivers continue to negatively impact the lives of anyone who gets inside a vehicle,” he said in a news release. “It could happen next to your family or someone you know.” Currently, a judge can impound a car as part of the punishment for driving without a valid license if the driver owns the car. The length of the impoundment is up to the judge. Under the bill, a police officer would be required to immediately impound the vehicles of those caught driving without a valid license. The officer would have to contact any rental or leasing agency registered as the car’s owner, as well as any lienholders. Police wouldn’t have to impound the vehicle if the driver’s license expired in the six months before he or she was stopped and the driver hasn’t been charged with operating without a license in the past. If the vehicle isn’t claimed within 30 days of the end of the impoundment period, it could be sold. The bill also would require anyone registering a vehicle with the state Department of Transportation to show a valid driver’s license. Sanfelippo has given his fellow legislators until Dec. 8 to sign on to the measure. No groups have registered with the state to lobby on the measure since it
Siren’s
hasn’t been officially introduced. Molly Gena, a lawyer with Legal Action of Wisconsin, which represents poor clients, told the Wisconsin State Journal that most of Wisconsin driver’s license suspensions and revocations stem from failing to pay fines rather than poor driving. The bill would punish poor people by preventing them from getting to work and looking for jobs, she said. A call The Associated Press made to Legal Action of Wisconsin’s Madison office went unanswered Friday. A spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said in an email Friday that Vos’ office was closed and couldn’t immediately comment on the legislation. Both the Assembly and the Senate have recessed for the holidays and aren’t expected to reconvene for floor votes until at least mid-January.
Man ejected from football game sends police 240 doughnuts
MADISON, Wis. (AP)–A California man sent 20 dozen coconut doughnuts to police officers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as payback for getting kicked out of a Badger football game. The man traveled from Los Angeles to see the Badgers play Northwestern at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday. He was assigned a seat in the student section away from his friends, so when he tried to join his friends, officers threw him out, UW-Madison police spokesman Marc Lovicott said Tuesday. Come Monday, 240 coconut doughnuts mysteriously appeared at police headquarters.

Overwhelmed?
Pastor Brad Moore Grace Baptist Church
Are you finding yourself anxious, tired out, and overwhelmed by the holidays yet? Most of us already have full and over-busy lives.

seemed flustered, hurried, anxious or overwhelmed. What was His secret? It was simple. He made time with God His greatest priority. This was especially true when life was at its most demanding. Jesus knew He needed time with His heavenly Father. Are you in danger of having all the “stuff� of Christmas replace the very point of Christmas? God came to earth and took on human form. It is why Jesus is called Immanuel, meaning ‘God with us’. God wants to be with you, is waiting to spend time with you. The question you must answer is: will you take
