Still no full application for Trade Lake CAFO JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

If a CAFO is built in Trade Lake or anywhere in Burnett County, they will be reporting to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and Jeffrey Jackson. Jackson, agricultural runoff management specialist with the WDNR, gave an overview of his role with concentrated animal feeding operations or

CAFOs. He monitors 25 CAFOs across nine counties on the western border on Wisconsin stretching from Buffalo County to Douglas County. The Large Scale Livestock Committee or CAFO committee invited Jackson to speak and educate the group on CAFOs. CAFOs are farms with over 1,000 animal units. Those types of farms must acquire a permit as a CAFO from the WDNR. County Administrator Nate Ehalt,

who is also chair of the committee, has called this an educational series on agriculture and other factors regarding their CAFO moratorium passed last July. Jackson explained to the committee that the proposed CAFO in Trade Lake still has not submitted their full application that outlines a majority of the procedures they will need to follow over

Country Café on Main in Grantsburg has been a leading restaurant since 2016, and it now has new hours and dinner entrees to offer. The Country Café on Main is owned by Dale Bistram. December marked the three-year anniversary since Bistram opened up the restaurant on West Madison Avenue in Grantsburg. In those three years, he has had many community members tell him that he should open up at nights, and now on Fridays and Saturdays, the Café is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. “One of the reasons I did it mainly is because I saw a

need for it, because where else in town can you get a soup and salad beforehand and hot steamed vegetables?” Bistram has been selling ribs for a couple of years now, but they are one of the main dinner entrees featured on Friday and Saturday nights now. The other featured entrees are the surf n’ turf with shrimp and tender center-cut sirloin steak and the shrimp dinner. Each entrée is served with homemade bread sticks and honey butter before your meal along with a homemade soup or salad, steamed vegetables and choice of potato, with the garlic mashed potatoes being the most popular.

the five years of a CAFO permit. A CAFO permit lasts five years and Jackson said the WDNR protocol states he only has to visit a CAFO once in five years. However, Jackson added the department is looking to change that to two visits during the five-year period. He explained that a lot of the factors with CAFOs revolve around self-reporting. The WDNR has a rule for manure storage that says a facility must be able to hold 180 days of manure storage. Jackson said a number of CAFOs he oversees go well over that number. “There’s one farm that has 300 days of storage another has over 200 days,” Jackson said.” Supervisor Duane Johnson asked if the WDNR was going to change that rule. Johnson explained that spreading manure in the winter is not ideal for groundwater and runoff. “180 days is what we require at this point,” Jackson said. “Right now there is no movement to rise that number.” Supervisor Craig Conroy has stated in the past the WDNR should reconsider that 180 days requirement because winters are different across the state. “Southern Wisconsin has very different winters than this part of the state in the north,” Conroy said at a Land use pub-

lic hearing regarding CAFOs last year. “I think that 180 days should be reconsidered for different parts of the state.” According to the WDNR website, “The proposed operation submitted a preliminary application for coverage under a water quality protection permit for CAFOs issued by the DNR known as a Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) permit. CAFO WPDES permits are water quality protection permits designed to ensure proper storage and handling of manure from larger-scale livestock operations. The WPDES permit program does not have authority to address odor, noise, traffic or other issues not related to water quality.” He said that after the full application is submitted, it needs to be reviewed and approved by the WDNR. Then a nutrient management plan is reviewed and approved. The next step is a draft permit is prepared and a public notice will be posted by the County and local newspaper. Jackson said this period lasts 30 days and if the WDNR receives over five comments a public hearing will be needed. “The hearing will take place as close to the site as possible. It doesn’t make sense to have the hearing in Madison,” Jackson said. “It will probably be held in Grantsburg, if it gets to that point.”

NWP Gallery is readying for the public Renovations at the Northwest Passage Gallery are progressing on schedule. Workers have erected the studios, finishing them with dry wall and paint. Gallery lighting and fixtures are being installed, and the new building facade/ entrance area is changing daily. Just as the gallery space continues to build, so does the excitement surround this innovative community-centered project. "We'll be busy over the next weeks putting our finishing touches on the new space," said Julie Hall, Northwest Passage Development and Communications Director. "We're excited to host the upcoming Outstanding Student Art Show, our very first gallery event with our BAAG partner. We're in the process of planning more events, classes, and workshops -- details coming soon!" For additional information, call 715.309.4257.

is also available to order from during these hours. Bistram stated that breakfast items such as omelets are surprisingly very popular during these evening hours as well. The new hours at the Café have been going great and many community members are taking advantage of them. Bistram said, “I knew I’d get a few certain regulars and stuff like that, but it’s gone better than expected.” He said it’s almost getting to the point where he needs to hire more staff members because it just gets busier and busier each week. Staff consistency is a very important aspect to Bistram when it comes to running the County Café. He wants everything to look and taste

the same and for everyone to be waited on the same, so everybody has the same great experience. He is very happy with the staff that he currently has. They establish great relationships with customers that come in and make them feel welcome. “People feel comfortable here,” Bistram says. Bistram is also a member of the Grantsburg Revitalization Operation (GRO) which is a group of individuals who are passionate about the future of Grantsburg. He says that he loves being a part of revitalizing Grantsburg and would like to see Grantsburg become the downtown destination that it used to be in the past.

He stated that the outof-towners especially love coming in, picking up those books and reading about the history and seeing the historical photos covering the walls of the Café. When he has the time, one of Bistram’s favorite things to do is to converse with his customers and help spread the history. “It’s fun when I get the time to sit down with the customers and I give them a tour of the walls.” When finished learning about the history and enjoying a wonderful meal, don’t forget to try a piece of delicious pie which is homemade from scratch.

Does ﬁne wine have a sore back too?

“I hope I die before I get old” lyric, “My Generation” by The Who. hat’s one of my favorite lyrics growing up. The issue is, I think, I’ve already gotten old and I don’t like it. People often say, “Aged like a fine wine.” Does fine wine have achy joints? I wake up and my back hurts. Then later in the day, my hip hurts. I pulled a muscle in my foot the other day that I did not even know existed. That’s my life now, I guess. I am aggravating parts of my body that I did not know could be aggravated. I understand there are muscles in feet. But how does a person pull a muscle in their feet? I was going Sentinel over the entire previous day, trying to figure how this happened. Editor I got out of bed, did my physical Jonathan Richie therapy stretches for my hip and back, walked to the kitchen for coffee, hopped in the shower and so on. I don’t know how it happened but now I’m paying attention to every move I make in case it ends with me aggravating some nerve or tendon that could potentially put me in a walking boot cast or wheelchair for three weeks. Where is this coming from? I’m glad you asked, I celebrated a birthday recently and I am getting old. In fact, I’m as old as I’ve ever been. The Who had it right but what do they know, they’re still touring even though half the band is dead. I can remember sitting in church as an eightyear-old and seeing the old World War II Veterans in our congregation struggling to make it to the front of the sanctuary for communion and we went to a nice Lutheran church, meaning they had communion every week. I said to my brother Matthew, “I never want to get that old.” It’s a conversation we’ve had a number of times and is the reason he is the executor of my estate in the event of my untimely passing. So, on the one hand, my body is in a constant state of pain. But on the other hand, my brain is as sharp as it has ever been. Almost too sharp. The other day I was thinking about the idea of “today” and that messed with my head for like three hours. These two theories about ”today” were rattling around in my head. “There is never going to be another today or every day is today.” None of this really matters because in 100 years nobody is going to know any of us or our names. Just think of that, besides Aristotle, Mozart and Abraham Lincoln there aren’t many people that are remembered over time. This has been your weekly reminder that life is fleeting so enjoy it while you can. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

appy Lent to you all. Yes, saying “happy” and “Lent” in the same sentence may appear to be a misnomer when discussing the time we turn inward to reflect on our faith and actions, but there are many, many reasons to embrace the 40 days of the season. I am a Christian, raised as a Catholic, so I have war stories about Lent. I’m sure you do as well, especially from your childhood. Telling children that they will be better off spiritually by giving up candy for 40 long days and dealing with the whining and complaining should qualify parents for some level of sainthood. From the My parents raised six children and Publisher’s endured for decades seemingly endDesk less whining about the depravity and abuse of giving up pop or candy. As Tom Stangl bad as the cacophonous wailing was b i k about no S Snickers candy bars, it was truly nothing compared to the reaction to meat-less Friday meals. Catholics after the Vatican II conference were allowed to eat meat on Fridays, except during Lent. While this was a tremendous boon to meat lovers, fish haters found yet another reason to be miserable during Lent. My mother, rest her soul, did her best to keep us happy and follow doctrine. It was far from easy on both fronts, but we children knew that mom would always err on the side of the church. No one was soiling their soul because they wanted meat Friday, not on her watch. So we had fish sticks. Lots of fish sticks. To mix it up we had what I liked to call “rich people’s breakfast” for dinner — pancakes and eggs. Lots of macaroni and cheese as well. I was never a fan of fish, but eating those awful fish sticks in the 1970s has scarred me

for life. I can recall looking at Sizzlean, a faux bacon of the time, hoping beyond hope that it was meatless, only to learn it had pork. It was a sad realization. As an adult, I realize that having a period of time where we become introspective about our lives, our actions and our faith is a healthy thing. In our instant gratification, spilt-second attention span world, slowing down and denying ourselves things we are accustomed to having actually makes us appreciate them more when we have an opportunity to enjoy them again. Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Christ had many doubts about the next phase in his life. Up until this point he was able to live a normal life and enjoy the world as much as the son of God can do. Like us, he had to make choices and sacrifices. Lent is an annual time to renew our commitment to our faith and simplify our lives. I didn’t mean to jam religion down your throats, gentle reader. The arrival of Lent as the last terrible part of winter arrives gives us hope that the rebirth and renewal of spring, glorious spring, is just around the corner. We can put up with some sacrifices and tough out the time until Easter arrives. We can then truly enjoy the celebration, safe in the knowledge that we have once again abided and done our part. Until then, tough out the fish sticks. 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 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.

OPINION

MARCH 4, 2020

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

CAPITOL REPORT

Battle of 70-something New York billionaires shapes up in Wisconsin Well ahead of the Wisconsin presidential primary on April 7, President Trump and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg have aggressively built a campaign presence on the ground here, while Bloomberg has the state’s airwaves virtually to himself. Besides Bloomberg, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is the only one of Trump’s Democratic challengers to open a Wisconsin office and deploy paid staff here as of mid-February. Some analysts add that 2016 Wisconsin presidential primary winner Bernie Sanders likely will be competitive in the April 7 contest, given his ability to keep raising money from small donors. A new poll from UW-Madison — done before his big victory in the Nevada caucuses — reported a double-digit lead. For now, most of the Democratic field is still focused on the early nominating contests, pivoting from Iowa and New Hampshire to Nevada and South Carolina, as they gear up for Super Tuesday on March 3 and several major primaries in the following weeks. The results of those races could lead some of the remaining contenders to drop out before they reach Wisconsin. All told, 2,704, or 68%, of the 3,979 pledged delegates who will meet in Milwaukee in July will be selected before the Democratic National Convention’s host state gets to vote. The Super Tuesday contests on March 3 will choose 1,351 delegates, more than one-third of the total, compared with 77 from Wisconsin. In a normal presidential election year, none of the campaigns would even start hiring Wisconsin staff until February or so, state Republican Party Chairman Andrew Hitt says. But as state Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler notes, “Nothing about this election cycle is normal.” One reason is that Trump and Bloomberg don’t have

to worry about early contests. Bloomberg, who entered the race later than nearly all of his rivals, made a strategic decision to skip the first four states. Trump rolled up overwhelming majorities over his last remaining primary challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, in Iowa and New Hampshire, and his allies canceled the GOP’s Nevada caucus and South Carolina primary. That frees Trump and Bloomberg to spread their resources to more states, including Wisconsin. As Trump positions himself for the general election, Bloomberg spends heavily to establish himself as a leader in a field of candidates who have been campaigning much longer than him. Trump isn’t the only one who’s already looking ahead to November. With analysts predicting Wisconsin could play a decisive role in the Electoral College, both parties are using this spring’s state Supreme Court race as a test of their organizing capacities for the presidential election. Incumbent Justice Daniel Kelly, appointed by ex-Gov. Scott Walker, is seeking his first full term against a challenge from Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky, after the Feb. 18 primary eliminated Marquette University law Prof. Ed Fallone. Although the race is officially nonpartisan, Republicans are backing Kelly, who has been endorsed by Trump, while Democrats favor Karofsky, who advocates a social justice agenda. Conventional wisdom suggests Karofsky holds the advantage, because the general election coincides with a hotly contested Democratic presidential primary that should boost liberal turnout. In the Democratic stronghold of Milwaukee, turnout is also likely to be increased by a contested mayoral race, a wide-open campaign for county executive and a Milwaukee Public Schools tax referendum, Wikler adds.

By contrast, state Republicans kept Weld off the GOP primary ballot, ensuring Trump would be unopposed but leaving only the court race to draw conservatives. Indeed, Republican lawmakers were so worried about Kelly’s chances that they floated the idea of separating the dates of the presidential primary and the high court race, backing off only after local clerks warned the plan would be both expensive and unworkable. Wikler says the court race will be “a huge focus for organizing,” adding, “We will be turning out every Democrat.” He cites the energy generated by more than 100 canvassing efforts launched for the judicial contest Feb. 8. “If we can do that in freezing weather for a Supreme Court race, we can do great things” for a presidential campaign in warmer months, Wikler says. Hitt concedes Kelly has an uphill battle, but says it’s possible, particularly in a state with a history of crossover voting. The high court primary offered a preview of how those get-out-the-vote efforts could play out in the presidential primary and general elections. The turnout Feb. 18 topped 700,000, the highest in more than 20 years, with Kelly capturing about half the vote to 37% for Karofsky and 13% for her fellow liberal Fallone. That was 16% of eligible voters, suggesting the April and November elections are on track to exceed the 2016 turnout marks of 47% and 67%, respectively.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WILD CHOW

Feedback to Josh Watt, Grantsburg Superintendent’s e-mail. CC, 7 school board members.

I only want soup on sick days

Hi Josh! With regards to the two letters about the 35.8% school tax increase. They are written from the prospective of the people in poverty, people living paycheck to paycheck, farmers, small businesses, those on fixed incomes, our non-resident taxpayers, and anyone who tries to be frugal. When I looked up your Frederic school taxes, they went up 70% and you got a vote, called a referendum. What we got was a surprise of 35.8% and not a community vote. Now you are planning a building referendum for us this year. Is your plan to drive all of us out of our homes and or businesses? Burnett County has one of the highest median property taxes in the United States and is ranked 527th of the 3143 counties in order of median property taxes. Any more requests for more local monies are an affliction of financial pain on our

neighbors. Remember the less fortunate. “1/27/20. District minutes. Two members to approve the bid for School Perceptions Community Survey ($7900.00 with the potential for options 2 & 3) to guide the potential referendum process. (Anderson-Kraus recommendation). Motion carried.” We the people should determine the surveyor, not the provider of the changes. Suggestion; we the taxpayers want input on the questions we want asked. Burnett County Comprehensive Planning Public Opinion Survey Report 9/2009, done by University of Wisconsin, River Falls, on our county web site. This report needs to be updated, expanded, inputted online, etc. This is the basic format we can use and do it ourselves. From Madison. In addition, the rainy-day fund would receive another deposit bringing the total

of the Budget Stabilization Fund to nearly $1 billion. The Governor veto it to get more monies for our K-12’s. Support our Governor in the changes needed and put maximum pressure on Madison to get more monies for us. I would hope you and the board would be our greatest advocates. At this time, I do not think the board feels the pain inflicted on our neighbors as mentioned above. Trends of concern. State population decreasing, school population decreasing, worker shortage, skill shortage, and property taxes increasing. “We the people” feel that to many politicians in government service are not listening or taking the proper actions to support our real needs. Do we really need better buildings or more technical skills and social services for our future adults? Rich Hess, Trade Lake.

Danbury Ruby’s Pantry says ‘Goodbye’ to friends and family Dear Editor, Twelve years of Ruby’s Pantry in Danbury will come to an end in March with the last distribution on March 7. We, the volunteers, at Danbury, are closing with heavy hearts. This closing was ordered by Lyn Sahr,

executive director of Ruby’s Pantry. We enjoyed meeting and greeting each and everyone of you and sharing God’s love. Thank you and we will always love all of you! Joanne Zillmer of Danbury Ruby’s Pantry

When your family wants pizza and you want soup, you make pizza soup. Pizza is a staple at our house; we love it. If I never made pizza again, I think my children would take out an ad in the wanted section for a new mom. As I have shared before, Wild Chow I love pizza too, but sometimes it Lisa Erickson just doesn’t sound good. Last week, I was sick for the first time in years. Nothing sounded good but a cup of homemade soul warming tomato soup. My college-age son was home and knew I wasn’t feeling well. He offered to make me pizza, which was a super sweet offer. As a family, pizza is one of our favorite things to cook together. We laugh and talk as we make pizza. I suggested soup. We made pizza soup— basically tomato soup with some Italian spices, green pepper, and sausage. To really knock it out of the park, we cut up some French bread into hearty-sized diagonal slices, buttered and topped each with a generous handful of mozzarella cheese and garlic salt, and then broiled them. Each bowl of soup was topped with a slice of cheese bread. Our soup looked like an Italian version of French onion soup.

Our meal was perfect. Not only did the soup warm me up, but I also got to spend time with family. I felt better the next day. Winner, winner, pizza (soup) dinner. Italian Pizza Soup ½ lb. Italian sausage 1 onion, chopped 1 green pepper, diced 1 - 28 oz. can tomato sauce 1 - 14 oz. can diced tomatoes 1 to 1 ½ cups water 1 ½ Tbsp. sugar 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp Italian seasoning For the Cheese Bread: 1 loaf French bread, sliced diagonally into 8 pieces 2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced ¼ cup butter 1 tsp. garlic salt In a large saucepan, brown the sausage over medium heat; about 7-8 minutes. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add remaining ingredients and water to desired thickness. Bring to a low simmer. Simmer for 25-30 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and top each bowl with cheese bread. To make the cheese bread, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter each slice on one side and lightly sprinkle with garlic salt. Top with cheese and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 1520 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crispy on the edges.

At a recent school board meeting the school board invited the building firm, Kraus-Anderson, to give an update on the construction project. The board spent a lot of time discussing the possibility of hiring an asbestos abatement company. The asbestos discussion went back and forth on where there might be asbestos in the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would mostly be the pipes and plumbing,â&#x20AC;? board member Engstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There may be some in the basement but shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be out in the open.â&#x20AC;? Board vice president Mark Pettis was questioning how much the abatement would cost and asked if it was too late to apply for grants to help cover the costs. The abatement company the district would probably use is CESA 10, however, they could use another company to search the building for asbestos. Representatives from Kraus-Anderson said the abatement would need to be done before any of the work can be done by contractors in the building. They plan on starting part of the project in April and then be in full swing by the time students are out of the building near the end of May.

Ice house removal dates coming up JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Ice fishers take note - your ice house or shanty will need to be removed from the lake if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not using it after March 15. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) has several dates for ice fishers when it comes to vacant ice houses. All ice fishing shelters, when not in daily use, must be removed from Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Green Bay and all other inland waters north of Highway 64 by the first Sunday following March 12. All inland waters south of Highway 64 were to be removed by March 1. Sarah Hoye of the WDNR explained in an email to the Sentinel, ice houses can be used after the removal date, but they must be in use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can still use a shanty on a daily basis, but have to be in it,â&#x20AC;? Hoye said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set it up, leave to grab

lunch and come back four hours later.â&#x20AC;? Wisconsin boundary water ice shelters were supposed to be removed from the Wisconsin-Iowa boundary waters by Feb. 20. Boundary water ice houses with Michigan are set to be removed by March 15 and with Minnesota on March 1. In Minnesota, the DNR says ice houses need to be removed from inland waters across the southern two-thirds of the state on March 2. On March 16, the northern one-third of the state. Dates of removal are determined by an east-west line formed by U.S. Hwy. 10, east along Hwy. 34 to Minnesota Hwy. 200, east along Hwy. 200 to U.S. Hwy. 2, and east along Hwy. 2 to the Minnesota-Wisconsin border,â&#x20AC;? according to the Minnesota DNR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After removal dates, shelters may remain on the ice between midnight and one hour before sunrise only when occupied or attended. Storing or leaving shelters on a public access is prohibited.â&#x20AC;?

Numerous U.S. states questioning Daylight saving APRIL ZIEMER EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8, 2020, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll move your clocks forward by one hour to 3 a.m. This means you should be prepared to lose an hour of sleep, but in return you will gain an extra hour of daylight. Some U.S. states are â&#x20AC;&#x153;springing aheadâ&#x20AC;? with their own ideas on daylight saving time. Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas, Hawaii and most of Arizona, do not observe the time change. The exception in Arizona is in the Navajo Nation, which takes part in the biannual clock change to and from daylight saving time. The state of Utah will spring ahead this year, and, if the governor signs a new bill, the state may stay at that time permanently. In February, the Utah House voted in favor of making daylight saving time permanent and sent the bill to Gov. Gary Herbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk for final approval. The House approved the legislation with a vote of 70 to 1. The one opposing vote came from Rep. Robert Spendlove, who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t opposed to ending the midyear time change but wanted the permanent time to add the extra hour of daylight in the morning, not in the evening. His peers disagreed, and the evening hour of daylight was approved in the final vote. If the governor signs the bill, the change would not immediately take effect. First, the state would seek approval from Congress. The bill also stipulates that four other west coast states must agree on the time change as well before it is implemented in Utah. At least 40 U.S. states have taken up legislation to adopt either daylight saving or standard time

year-round. Massachusetts is considering going year-round to Atlantic Standard Time, the same time in places such as Nova Scotia and Puerto Rico, but the change would not take effect unless New Hampshire, Maine and Rhode Island agreed to do the same. Daylight saving time has been around since World War I. Germany and Austria were the first countries to use Daylight saving in 1916. Canada and Germany soon followed and eventually the United Kingdom and France. During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt instituted year-round daylight saving time, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;War Time,â&#x20AC;? from Feb. 9, 1942 to Sept. 30, 1945. From 1945 to 1966, there was no federal law regarding daylight saving time, so states and localities were free to choose whether or not to observe daylight saving time and could choose when it began and ended. This understandably caused confusion. It became the actual law of the land for the U.S. with the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Though the exact dates; now the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November, have changed some over the years. Any State that wanted to be exempt from daylight saving time could do so by passing a state law. Arizona cited its hot climate in getting an exception, and Hawaii cited its tropical latitude, which means there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much variation in daylight in the summer and winter months. President Trump has also floated making daylight saving time permanent. Last March, he tweeted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making daylight saving time permanent is OK with me!â&#x20AC;? According to a poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 4 in 10 Americans would like to see their clocks stay on standard time year-

round, while about 3 in 10 prefer to stay on daylight saving time. About another 3 in 10 prefer what is the status quo in most of the United States, switching back and forth between daylight saving time in the summer and standard time in the winter. Like it or not, as of now, residents in Wisconsin will have keep adjusting to the twice yearly clock adjustment. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends you go to bed an hour early Saturday and get children to bed early too. They pay more attention to their internal clocks than timepieces, so implement the routine Saturday night to help them adjust to the lighter-than-usual bedtime, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be set up for a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep before school Monday. What are the best ways to avoid sleep deprivation? The CDC says this already affects about onethird of adults in the U.S., outside of time changes. Tips provided by the CDC include: Limiting your caffeine intake in the late afternoon and evening, do not eat a big meal right before bedtime, if you are using the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day for exercise, make sure your session ends at least three hours before bedtime, because the energy boost that exercise gives you can cause insomnia. Try to wind down with a warm bath or shower. Let the sun shine in. Experts say that pulling back the curtains and allowing the sun to shine in the windows in the morning improves alertness during the day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also more likely to feel sleepy when it is time to go to bed. It is suggested to turn off the bright lights an hour or two before you go to bed, including the television, your computer and other electronic devices. Read a relaxing book or listen to soothing music instead. Also, try to watch the length of your naps. Authorities say the time changes are also a good day to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. Daylight saving time ends Nov. 1, 2020, when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll move our clocks back an hour and lose an hour of daylight.

The WDNR bear removal project allowed a select number of hunters bear shooting permits.

Village of Grantsburg bear removal pilot project For several years the Village of Grantsburg experienced a high number of black bear complaints from residents when compared to other municipalities. To address these complaints, a variety of non-lethal abatement options were implemented including educational efforts, altering trash pick-up schedules, trapping and translocation, and limited lethal control. Even with these efforts, however, complaints continued. The Sentinel spoke to Crex Meadows Wildlife Area Supervisor Steve Hoffman about the nuisance bears in the area. Most of them happened in the Wood River corridor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get calls saying thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bear drinking out of our swimming pool and from the ground you would have no idea why the bear is coming through here,â&#x20AC;? Hoffman told the Sentinel in 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you look at it from above or a map you can easily see this corridor is what bear, deer, and other wildlife follow.â&#x20AC;? In 2016, the Wisconsin DNR implemented a 2-year pilot project to assess the effectiveness of a bear removal program for reducing complaints. Under this pilot project, landowners owning five or more acres within approximately 1.5 miles of the village were eligible for a bear shooting permit. In 2016, 75 permits were available and in 2017, 100 permits were available. In 2016 and 2017, 14 and 9 bears were removed, respectively. After the implementation of the pilot project the number of complaints and management actions decreased from a high of 30 bear complaints, five bears translocated, and five bears euthanized in 2016 to one complaint and no bears translocated or euthanized in 2018. These results show that bear removal programs can effectively resolve chronic bear-human conflict issues in and around municipalities experiencing high levels of complaints. In the future, similar programs will be considered only after other bear-human conflict mitigation efforts have been unsuccessful.

Snowmobile trails closed across county JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

All snowmobile and winter ATV/ UTV trails in Burnett County are closed due to lack of snow. The Burnett County Forest and Parks Department made the announcement Monday morning stating the trails would be closed at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 2. “After consulting with the Burnett County Snow Trails Association, all trails will be closed at 11:59 p.m. Monday, March 2,” the department posted on their website. “With warmer temperatures this past weekend and in the forecast, the decision to close trails is to protect the trail base from damage on county, state, and privately owned lands and agricultural fields. It is important that we respect the landowners who graciously allow us to use their property.” The trails were open longer this year than in years past due to the amount of snow the region got early in the season. The trails were opened

in December after rifle deer hunting season ended.

the 73-year-old incumbent’s re-election campaign. Hitt says that’s a more efficient approach, avoiding the turf wars and confusion that often arose when the three groups employed separate political, communications and mobilizing staffs for previous presidential campaigns. The Trump campaign started hiring staff in July and aims to set up a network of nine field offices, each headed by a regional director, Hitt says. More than 50 staff members are on board, working out of offices in Milwaukee, Madison, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Waukesha and Wausau, with both the staff and office numbers likely to grow soon, he says. Leading Trump’s Wisconsin effort is state director Andrew Iverson, a Janesville native who has been involved in politics since joining a 2015 judicial campaign in Waukesha County. Iverson also worked on GOP Sen. Ron Johnson’s 2016 re-election campaign and held positions in state government and the private sector. In 2018, he joined Bryan Steil’s successful campaign to win retiring House Speaker Paul Ryan’s 1st District seat, serving first as spokesman and then as campaign manager. Mindful of this state’s importance to their 2016 victory, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have been showing up a lot in the past year. Trump visited Wisconsin twice in 2019 — an April rally in Green Bay and a July stop in the Milwaukee area — and held a rally in downtown Milwaukee last month. Pence stopped in Pleasant Prairie in October, visited Marinette in November, joined Trump at the Milwaukee rally and returned to Madison two weeks later. Bloomberg The 78-year-old media mogul has launched a primary effort that adviser Mike Tate says would rival many general-election campaigns. The Bloomberg campaign is planning to open field offices in each of Wisconsin’s eight congressional districts, with multiple offices in the Madison-based 2nd and Milwaukee-based 4th districts, says Tate, a former state Democratic Party chairman. Four of those offices are already open — in Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton and Eau Claire — with more opening soon, he says. More than 70 staffers are now on Bloomberg’s Wisconsin payroll, Tate says. He declined to predict how that number might grow. At the helm of Bloomberg’s Wisconsin campaign is state director Jorna Taylor, a state native with a long background in politics and community organizations. She previously worked on then-Sen. John Edwards’ 2008 presidential campaign and served on Gov. Tony Evers’ staff, among other positions. Bloomberg visited Milwaukee in December, when he opened his first Wisconsin field office. Among the surrogates who have appeared on his behalf are actor Michael Douglas, former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz and writer Timothy O’Brien, author of the unauthorized biography “TrumpNation.” Additional surrogate visits are expected roughly once a week, and Bloomberg could return after Super Tuesday, Tate says. But Bloomberg’s biggest impact to date has been on television. He’s paid $5.36 million for Wisconsin TV ads, according to a database compiled by FiveThirtyE-

ight from information supplied by Kantar/Campaign Media Analysis Group. Warren The second-term senator, 70, opened a Madison field office in January and already has about a dozen staffers on the ground in this state, says Jake Hajdu, her senior Wisconsin strategist. More staff and more offices could be added in the weeks ahead, he says. Hajdu has been leading Warren’s efforts here since December. He has lived in Wisconsin for 18 years, serving most recently as Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s outreach director. Before that, he worked on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, rising to Wisconsin state director, and spent six years on the state Democratic Party staff, including two as executive director. Warren visited Milwaukee in July, as one of several Democratic candidates appearing at the national convention of the League of United Latin American Citizens. Sanders Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders should be considered the frontrunner to win the nomination, Democratic strategist Tanya Bjork said at a recent WisPolitics. com luncheon in Madison. GOP operative Keith Gilkes added the Vermont independent has a “well-cultivated group of small-dollar donors” who are pumping in enough cash to fuel his campaign. He has an active volunteer effort in Wisconsin, spokesman Kolby Lee says. Sanders, 78, carried Wisconsin in the 2016 primary, defeating Clinton everywhere except Milwaukee County. Like Warren, he appeared at the LULAC convention in Milwaukee in July. He also has been endorsed by 2nd CD Congressman Mark Pocan, who predicts Sanders will win the primary. Other Democrats: Billing herself as “the senator next door,” Minnesota’s Amy Klobuchar has been to Wisconsin twice in the current election cycle. The third-term lawmaker, 59, appeared at a Fox News town hall in Milwaukee in May, then returned for events in Random Lake and Milwaukee in September. The campaigns of former Vice President Joe Biden, 77, and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, 38, did not respond to requests for information on their Wisconsin efforts. Neither candidate has visited Wisconsin since 2018. Besides Bloomberg, billionaire Tom Steyer, 62, is the only presidential candidate who has run a TV ad in Wisconsin this cycle, spending just $42,000, according to FiveThirtyEight. Campaigns didn’t respond to requests on their digital advertising in this state. Steyer visited Milwaukee in November.

6 ways to decrease your risk for chronic disease MEGAN SWENSON WELLNESS COORDINATOR AT WEBSTER WELLNESS CENTER

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), six in ten adults in the United States have a chronic disease. Chronic disease is a condition that lasts one year or more and requires ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both. Some examples of chronic disease include heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and diabetes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure most of us have used an excuse relating to not being able to add better nutrition, physical activity or remove smoking from our daily routine. But, since chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, these excuses are harming our lives. We tell ourselves that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford fruits and vegetables but we can afford numerous doctor visits and medication. To decrease your risk for chronic disease, the key is to be consistent and to make small lifestyle changes such as: 1. Quit Smoking. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW for FREE SUPPORT 2. Eat Healthy. A balanced diet of fruits, veggies, whole grains (Yes, we need carbs!), lean meats and dairy products. Check out choosemyplate.gov for more free info. 3. Get Regular Physical Activity. The ultimate goal is to complete 150 minutes a week at a moderate pace. 4. Avoid Drinking Too Much Alcohol. Try sober social events with friends/family 5. Get Screened. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to stick to our annual well checks. 6. Get Enough Sleep. The ultimate goal is 7 hours for adults. Today is the day you stop making excuses and respect your body. We only get one body to carry us through this wild ride called life. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be spending our retirement funds on doctor visits, medications or funeral arrangements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy Minuteâ&#x20AC;? is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

Tough bite on the Fox AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, Green Bay is arguably one of the best walleye fisheries in Wisconsin. The Fox River flows north from Columbia County and enters Green Bay at Green Bay. The last dam on the Fox is at Depere which is a very clean, pleasant, and industrial city which borders Green Bay. Each winter pre-spawn walleye that live in Green Bay and walleye native to the river migrate to the dam and wait for the water temperature to hit 45-degrees so they can drop their spawn and then swim back to the bay. For the fifth winter in a row I would camp on the ice at Depere with the plan of catching some walleye with both jig poles and tip ups. Friday, Feb. 21 High 26, low 16 My plan was to park at Voyageur Park and make three trips with my sled from the truck to where I would camp and fish. Each trek was about 500-yards and as usual I was short on daylight. I had no cares as I had almost 48-hours to spend on the ice and figured somewhere along the line I would hit into some good fishing. Long story short, my camp was fully built on top of 5-inches of ice

over 15-feet of water. There was a solid 20 mph wind blowing and it was from the southwest which also had some open water about four yards from me and that wind would create almost a constant ice wave underneath of me. When I laid in my cot tonight my world was a wave and the ice was breaking. I have to admit, I was not comfortable with that. Saturday, Feb. 22 Some of the best walleye fishermen that you will find, at least ice fishermen can be found here at Depere. You have to be smart, aggressive, technological and have a will written. The ice and river here can eat you for breakfast and the current will take you way far away. I spent my night fishing, resting and on occasion, talking to other fishermen. As seems to be the case the vast majority of this winter, here is a common line “There are fish down there, they look at my jig and don’t bite!” At ten this morning I got a tip from a well-seasoned local who told me I should fish in 13-feet of water. That conversation required three hours of labor taking down camp, moving camp, and rebuilding camp. I was done at one and really excited, I fried a steak with a pound of mushrooms, took a firstrate siesta and was hard at it two

hours before dark. Prime time came and went, and I did not catch a fish, nor did I see a fish caught, or had I seen a fish caught on this adventure. At 11:30 tonight one of my tip ups had a light start blinking which meant a potential fish. The skunk ended as I caught a 13-inch walleye. The next morning, I had one hit with a jigging Rapala and for about three seconds had a good fish on. This morning there were hardcore walleye fishermen on the ice two hours before it became light out and almost anybody that was going to fish was on the ice before sunrise. I enjoy speaking with these tough guys and gals of the ice fishing world and was really impressed to see how many high school kids were fishing out here with just their buds. I think the high school ice fishing competitions that have well over 100 schools involved is helping to create some pretty tough kids and I just wish I could be a part of that but have no time. About noon I pulled the pin on this trip well aware that it will not be long, and I will be out here after dark, in a canoe on another fantastic adventure on the Fox. Play hard! Sunset.

‘Next year will be even better’ SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

SIREN – In the span of a year, the Siren girls basketball team went from winless in the Lakeland West to being on the verge of a regional title. The Dragons ended the regular season with consecutive wins and continued their win streak in the postseason with two more wins, leading to Saturday’s regional championship game. Though they fell a basket shy of entering sectional play, the Dragons’ turnaround is still encouraging. “We knew this year would be better and the next year will be even better yet,” Siren coach Ryan Karsten said. The “better” season was boosted by a 69-47 first-round win over Bayfield on Feb. 25. Lindsay Liljenberg scored a game-high 22 points for Siren, sinking four of the team’s eight 3-pointers in the game. Morgan Shetler added 17 points and Hannah Lemieux added 10. The win gave the Dragons a regional semifinal matchup with South Shore on Friday and more success from 3-point range led to a 53-48 win at home. Shetler and Lemieux combined for five 3-pointers, with four coming in the first half. Shetler scored eight of her 11 points in the first half while Lemieux sank three

3-pointers before halftime, allowing the Dragons to take a 27-20 lead into halftime despite Liljenberg being limited to just one point in the first. But, Lilljenberg scored 16 second-half points to help counter South Shore’s Chloe Sipsas, who had 18 of her gamehigh 24 points in the second half. Sipsas led the Cardinals to within a point of Siren in the final minutes, though the final two of Liljenberg’s six second-half free throws secured the win for the Dragons. “Liljenberg is the one we wanted to get the ball in the hands of at the end of the game,” Karsten said. “She’s shooting 75 percent at the line and she hit the two late free throws that sealed the win.” Lemieux finished with 12 points for Siren; Jaidyn Jewell added six. The win gave the Dragons a matchup with Hurley on Saturday for the regional title. Unfortunately for Siren, it was the opponent’s turn to secure a win with late points and the Dragons’ season was ended with a 52-49 loss. Liljenberg scored eight first-half points but the Dragons still trailed 27-20 entering halftime, due to four 3-pointers from Melissa Digiorgio and three more from Courtney Corullo; both finished with 16 points for Hurley.

KAYLA CASEY | SENTINEL

Siren’s Morgan Shetler brings the ball up the court at home against Unity earlier this season.

But, Shetler and Jewell led a second-half comeback that eventually gave Siren a lead near the midway point of half. Shetler scored 10 points in the second while Jewell had eight. But miscues cost the Dragons the lead and the eventual win. “We just had multiple turnovers and missed shots in the last three minutes,” Karsten said. “We didn’t score on 10 of our last 12 possessions.” The Northstars regained the lead

and then held it with makes at the free throw line. They sank seven free throws in the second half, preventing a last-second Siren 3-pointer from forcing overtime. Shetler led the Dragons with 13 points; Liljenberg and Jewell had 10 points each. Siren concluded the season with a 16-8 overall record, constituting a complete turnaround from its 5-17 record the prior season.

Blizzard Peewees win the Baldwin Peewee Tournament

SUBMITTED

This last weekend, the Blizzard Peewees tournament play started at 8 a.m. Saturday against West Salem. The Blizzard won 7 to 2. Highlights of the first period included a goal from Levi Anderson which was answered by West Salem and followed by two added goals by Clayton Shutt assisted by Landyn Randt and another goal from Lane Hopkins and Shutt with the assist. The second period added more points to the Blizzard lead. First to score was Ryder Anderson from Levi Anderson. West Salem came back and scored,

but that was their last. Blizzard player, Randt, put in three more goals earning a hat trick and he was assisted by Bradon Nutter in two of the goals. The third period was a lot of nice passing and the game ended with a Blizzard victory. The Blizzard advanced to the right side of the bracket to face Baldwin who had beaten River Valley. Blizzard forward, Shutt, began scoring just one minute into the game. Midway through the first period came another goal from defenseman Lane Hopkins assisted by Randt.

In the second period Shutt added to the lead. The third period brought one more goal for Randt and Timothy (Joel) McDonald earned a shutout. The final score was 4 to 0, for another win. The Championship game was against New Richmond who beat both Superior and the South-Central Cyclones. The first period started with two unanswered goals with the first coming from Nutter assisted by Randt and Shutt, and the second goal coming from Randt. The second period the Blizzard got into penalty trouble, playing shorthanded for eight minutes and allowing New Richmond three power play goals. New Richmond was ahead 3 to 2 going into the third. The Blizzard started out by answering with a goal from the point, Hopkins, with the pass from Shutt. Seconds later, New Richmond answered. The score was 4 to 3. Blizzard scored to tie it with four minutes remaining with a goal by Hopkins. Then Randt scored with two minutes remaining to move ahead of New Richmond. With 26 seconds remaining, New Richmond scored. The winning goal came from Levi Anderson assisted by his brother Ryder Anderson and Aiden Johnson. The final score was 6 to 5 Blizzard in overtime.

The Blizzard team played hard all weekend, only falling to the Waterloo Squirts during the championship game, 14-2. The team had no idea they were playing a AAA hockey team. Not once did they give up, they fought hard to the end. The coaches and parents could not be prouder of their team and their second-place finish. The young goalie, Levi Randt, faced 59 shots on goal. The team will now be able to take this experience and use it to their advantage as they move on to the Wisconsin Amateur Hockey Association Squirt 10U 4A State Tournament in Manitowoc on March 7.

Grantsburg, Webster girls ousted in ﬁrst round SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG – The season was not disappointing for coach Penny Curtin, though a few more points in the playoff opener could have made it a bit better. The Grantsburg girls basketball team earned a first-round home game in regional play, hosting Chetek-Weyerhaeuser on Feb. 25. And though the Pirates overcame a lackluster start to pull within a basket of the Bulldogs, their season was concluded with a 48-45 loss. “This is a game that we thought we could win,” Curtin said. “We had a slow start and Chetek played a very physical, tough game.” The Bulldogs opened a sizeable early lead by capitalizing on Grantsburg misfortunes that included shooting troubles. The combination of missed shots by the Pirates and made shots at the other end gave the Bulldogs a double-digit lead prior to halftime. “We shot only 15 percent from the floor in the first 14 minutes of the half,” Curtin said. “It is tough to win when you shoot that poorly.” But, Brooke Quimby and Olivia Ohnstad led Grantsburg’s comeback effort that turned a potential lopsided final into a one-basket difference in the final minute. Quimby had 19 points and 10 SEE GIRLS BASKETBALL, PAGE 15

They started with a 61-45 win over Spooner on Feb. 24, getting a game-high 24 points from Jared VanWatermeulen. He had 10 in the first half while Carson Knutson and Austin Wedin provided long-range shooting; Knutson hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first half and Wedin added another. Grantsburg’s defense limited Spooner to 16 first-half points and allowed for a 15-point lead entering halftime. While VanWatermeulen increased his scoring in the second half, Sterling McKinley sank two 3-pointers and Knutson had one, allowing the Pirates to maintain a double-digit lead throughout the second half. Knutson finished with 11 points; Wedin, McKinley and Gus Bergman had eight points each. Grantsburg closed the regular season with a 53-37 win over Northwood on Thursday. Wedin led the team with 16 points, including two 3-pointers in each half. VanWatermeulen scored all 11 of his points in the first half, where Knutson added all 10 of his points. Another eight from Bergman gave the Pirates a 38-10 lead entering the break. The Pirates were 7-5 in the Lakeland West and 13-9 overall. They finished a game behind St. Croix Falls for third in the standings while Unity (10-2) edged Luck (9-3) for the conference title. Grantsburg began postseason play on Tuesday at home against Glenwood City. SIREN The Dragons ended the regular season with their highest-scoring game so far. On Thursday, they hosted Clayton for a 73-21 win to enter the playoffs with a 6-15 overall record. Siren tied Frederic for sixth in the Lakeland West with a 2-10 in-conference mark. Riley Churchill scored a game-high 28 points while Nathan Kosloski helped get Siren a large first-half lead.

RIVER FALLS – Jeni Petersen will make her third trip to the state finals.

Grantsburg ended with 125.55 points while the GMC co-op topped the standings with 136.95; River Falls (135.475), West Salem (134.525) and Menomonie (128.675) completed the top 5. “This was a very exciting meet,” Grantsburg coach Kathy Lund said. “Going into this meet, our goal was not to worry about a score. Endign with so many personal bests and season highs is a great way to end the season.” Though the season will continue for Petersen, who earned a season-high total in all-round scoring with help from her finish on the floor. She scored a 9.35 while River Falls’ Autumn Tiede won the event with a 9.6. Alli Peterson added a 15th-place finish for Grantsburg with an 8.45; Khylie Young-Garayt had a personal-best 8.05 to place 20th and Amy Harmon had a season-high 7.625 to place 28th. Grantsburg’s combined score of 33.475 in the event was a season high. Petersen had a 4th-place finish in the uneven bars with an 8.5, less than a tenth of a point from another runner-up finish. West Salem’s Ella Krause won the event with an 8.9; Grantsburg’s Amy Harmon tied for 17th with a 7.7 and Young-Garayt was 23rd with a 7.4.

MADISON – Carter Melton and Taedon Nichols haven’t made their final push for a state title. Both wrestlers were their given team’s lone qualifier for last weekend’s WIAA Division 2 state finals and though neither brought back a 1st-place finish, they’re still able to make a return trip in 2021. Melton – a junior for Spooner-Webster – won one of his three matches at The Kohl Center, as did Nichols – a sophomore for LFGS. Melton opened his state-final effort in the 182 division by earning

EAU CLAIRE – For the 12th time this season, Emma Quimby allowed just one goal or none at all. But for the second time this season, the Hayward girls co-op hockey team was defeated in a 1-0 decision to Eau Claire. Despite making 23 saves in the Feb. 25 playoff game, Quimby and the Hurricanes had their season ended with another 1-0 loss to Eau Claire. A third-period goal at even strength gave the Stars a win and another playoff game while the Hurricanes finished with a 11-11-2 overall record. Quimby rejected each of the 17 shots she faced through two periods and the scoreless tie lasted into the third period, though both teams had multiple . power play opportunities. The Stars broke the tie with a goal from Madison Schwengler, just under six minutes into the third. Hayward put six shots on the Eau Claire goal in the third but couldn’t get the game-tying score. The Stars finished 0-for-4 on the power play while the Hurricanes were 0-for-2. Quimby – a senior – finished the season with a 92.1 save percentage and 585 total saves with a 2.07 goals-against average. She was the goalie of record in each of Hayward’s wins this season.

a 10-7 win over Kade Wenninger (Tomahawk) to advance to the quarterfinal. But he was rerouted to the consolation bracket after a loss in 2 minutes, 24 seconds to Lucas Schumacher (Port Washington). With a shot at a top-5 finish still possible, Melton faced Jacob Summers (Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau) and was defeated in an 8-1 decision. The second loss meant an end to the season for Melton, who still has a year of eligibility remaining for the Rails. Nichols started his tournament in the 120 division with a win by

pin, in 2:42 over Tristen Gilbertson (Belmont-Platteville). But, his second-round opponent was the eventual state runner-up. Tommy Larson (East Troy) eventually advanced to the 1st-place match after a win by major decision over Nichols in the quarterfinal. In his final match, Nichols lost by pin to Treyton Ackman (Spencer-Columbus Catholic) in 2:22. With his state-qualifying effort however, Nichols could still reach a 4-for-4 mark in reaching Madison with two years of eligibility remaining.

rebounds while Ohnstad had 10 points and 11 rebounds. “We fought, scratched and clawed our way back into the game,” Curtin said. However, the Pirates were unable to claim the late lead to complete the comeback win despite finishing with the advantage in many categories that count. “We outplayed (the Bulldogs) in many ways, but not in the way that matters,” Curtin said. “We had more shots taken, more offensive rebounds, more steals and fewer turnovers.” Madison Schafer added nine points for the Pirates, who finished with a 10-13 overall record. “It was a disappointing end to the season, but not a disappointing season,” Curtin said. WEBSTER Mellen didn’t have many scoring options on Feb. 25, but the available options were enough to get a close win over Webster in the first round of postseason play. Jordyn Delegan scored a game-high 29 points while teammates Ava Jokinen had 18 and Mickey Simmons added 13 in a 68-64 win over the Tigers. The trio accounted for all but eight of the team’s points while the Tigers had eight players score at least one basket. Brooke Hetfeld led the Tigers with 16 points and Hannah McDowell added 15 points with 12 rebounds. They helped Webster to a 33-32 lead entering halftime while additional scoring depth from Jenna Gomulak and Torrnace Wols helped counter Mellen’s main three scorers. Gomulak and Wols finished with eight points each. Malaky Olson added six points and Aliyah Daniels had five for Webster, which ended the season with a 7-16 overall record.

What does the word art mean to you? Art is what people do creatively to share their view of the world with other people. Their expressions may be shown through painting, drawing, poetry, dance, sculpture, acting, music or other art forms. Music is the art of making sounds. It can be created by making sounds with your voice or by playing instruments. You can keep a piece of music “alive” by writing it down or recording it. Dance is created by moving the body. Many of the actions or movements are repeated. People in all parts of the world enjoy dance. It is kept in memories and on film. It is passed on from one person to another. Art lets us create using materials. Paint, charcoal, clay, paper and glue are just a few things you can use to share your ideas and express your feelings.

Recently, the entire world has been captivated with the Coronavirus. To date over 87,000 people worldwide have been infected, and at least 2,900 people have died from the fast-moving virus that appears to have originated in China sometime in December of last year. In Jesus’ day the comparable threat was a disease called Leprosy. Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) is an infectious disease and adversely affects the skin, the eyes, the peripheral nerves, and breathing efficiency. In the

was cleansed.” Instantly the leper was healed, but Jesus, having touched the leper, had himself become ceremonially unclean. Jesus, perfect and holy, became “unclean” so the leper could become physically and culturally clean! This real-life miracle is an amazing picture of what Jesus did for sinful humanity. All of us have a disease called sin. Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life, and took upon Himself all of our sin so that we could take upon ourselves His perfect record – forgiven and healed of sin. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved forever of sin, both now and forevermore.

Lepers were quarantined outside the community and housed in isolation to keep the disease from spreading. The disease was largely (and erroneously) believed to be God’s George Selbher punishment for sinful behavior, and by the time Jesus came on the scene almost everyone looked down their noses at
