Nix state treasurer position? Question goes to voters.

SUZANNE LINDGREN EDITOR@ OSCEOLASUN.COM

Wisconsin residents will have the chance to vote this spring on whether to eliminate the state treasurer position.

The referendum question will be included on the April 3 ballot, asking voters whether to change the state constitution and add new language eliminating the office. The question also includes language designating the lieutenant governor as the treasurer’s SEE STATE TREASURER, PAGE 2

EBSTER––A Webster woman has been charged with operating while intoxicated, 8th offense, a class F felony. Police believe she was under the influence of prescription medications.

Mary K. Bakke, 54, Webster, was also charged with possession of methamphetamine, a class I felony, possess/illegally obtained prescription, a misdemeanor and possession of narcotic drugs, a class I felony.

According to the criminal complaint, on Feb. 19 Webster Police Department received a call about a possibly impaired driver north bound on Highway 35. The caller said the vehicle was “driving all over the road.”

Mary K. Bakke Webster Police Chief Mike Spafford was dispatched to the scene and was advised the vehicle had pulled into the Minit Mart in the Village of Webster.

The vehicle allegedly hit another vehicle in the

New Year, same caseload issues for courts JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– Two months into the new year and Burnett County is already seeing a rise in felony crimes.

The Burnett County Clerk of Court along with other numerous departments gave their monthly report to the Public Safety committee last week.

“We ended 2017 with 102 more felonies than 2016,” said Burnett County Clerk of Court Trudy Schmidt. “In the first two months of this year, we’ve had 53 felonies. Last year, the count was 47.”

Schmidt added that, “these

felonies are the bad stuff like meth and other drug issues we’re facing.”

‘The question is: what can we do? I think the best option is to put pressure on the state.’

been pushing the state for more public defenders. Schmidt said Harrington’s message applies to Burnett County also.

“These public defenders need to be qualified attorneys and I don’t know that we’ve had many of those,” Schmidt said. “We’re working hard to get someone here.”

Schmidt explained that public defenders are coming down from Superior to handle Burnett county cases. She added that Spooner doesn’t have many lawyers.

parking lot, but did not result in any damage and the other vehicle left the scene.

At this point, Spafford exited his squad car and went to speak with the alleged impaired driver.

Bakke got out of her car and was having a difficult time standing. Spafford noted he did not smell alcohol on her breath and asked if she had been drinking. She responded “no.”

Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Mikal Anton arrived at the scene and gave Bakke a preliminary breath test. The results were .00.

Spafford then asked Bakke if she was on any prescription medication and she said she was taking Gabapentin as prescribed by her physician. As Spafford continued to question her about the prescription, Bakke continued to struggle with standing, leaning on her car and saying she was in a lot of back pain.

Spafford said she also seemed confused and was very cold.

He then placed her under arrest for operating while under the influence of prescription medications. He read the Informing the Accused form twice to her. After the second time, she said she understood but was refusing the blood draw and was then transported to the Burnett County Jail.

When Spafford arrived at the jail, he took the paperwork and Bakke’s purse to the booking area where Bakke was turned over to the jail staff.

Jailer Amy Thiex took Bakke’s purse and began doing inventory for the jail’s records. During the search, Thiex informed Spafford that there may be methamphetamine in a prescription bottle with Bakke’s name on it.

Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Jared Woody went to the jail and field tested the substance. The results came back positive for methamphetamine. The evidence was then sent to the crime lab.

The prescription bottle was worn and from Shopko Pharmacy with Bakke’s name on it. There were other pills in the bottle and Thiex used rxlist.com to identify the pills as: methocarbomal, a muscle relaxer; hydrocodone, a schedule II narcotic; methylphenidate, a schedule II narcotic; and Lorazepam.

The pills along with the container and methamphetamine were all turned over to Woody for evidence.

Bakke has seven prior convictions for operating while intoxicated stemming from events in 1990, 1994, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2009 and 2011.

According to online court records, in 2011 Bakke received three years in state prison and three years extended supervision for operating while intoxicated.

Her preliminary hearing will be held on May 16 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

Police Chief to discuss school shootings with Siren students JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN–– The Siren Chief of Police, Chris Sybers, will be talking with students about school shootings this week as part of his role as resource officer in the school.

In January, the Siren School Board approved a Siren Police Officer in the school for nine hours a week for the remainder of the school year. Sybers has been going to the school a few days a week since then, and has begun establishing a positive relationship with the student body.

TREASURER: Proposal seen as ‘a real power grab’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

replacement on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands.

If voters approve the measure, the constitution would be amended and the state treasurer’s office eliminated at the end of the year.

According to an Associated Press report from February 2017, most of the treasurer’s duties have already been re-assigned, including transferring the unclaimed property division to the Department of Revenue in 2014.

The referendum is a result of action last year by the Wisconsin Legislature to send the question to voters.

Rep. Michael Schraa (R—Oshkosh), the measure’s sponsor, said getting rid of the office would make state government more “efficient and effective,” according to a March 2017 report from The Capital Times.

And current Treasurer Matt

Adamczyk ran for the office on a vow to eliminate the position.

But former State Treasurer Jack Voight, a Republican, opposed eliminating the office, calling the proposal “a real power grab,” AP reported.

If the referendum question is approved, the lieutenant governor would replace the treasurer on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands (BCPL), a small agency that manages some public lands, loans money to Wisconsin communities and gives money to public school libraries.

In committee, Senator Kathleen Vinehout (D—Alma) voted against eliminating the office, cautioning that doing so would remove a check on the executive branch, according to AP. Then-Senator Sheila Harsdorf (R—River Falls) and Senator Chris Kapenga (R—Delafield) joined Democrats in opposing the measure.

One of BCPL’s responsibilities is distributing money from the Common School Fund to public school libraries. In the 2016-17 school year it distributed about $32.1 million, or $27.51 per student, according to the state’s Department of Public Instruction. The fund, commonly called Library Aid, is financed with earnings on the principal from a permanent fund and is the state’s only dedicated source of funding for school libraries.

The Wisconsin Educational Media and Technology Association, which advocates for policies and funding to support school libraries, opposes eliminating the state treasurer position. In its “2018-19 Legislative Advocacy Agenda” the group called the current roster of BCPL commissioners “ideal custodians of the Common School Fund,” because they do not play a leading role in K-12 school funding or the state budget process.

Local students’ art showcased at March show HARRIET RICE

SIREN—Outstanding artwork by students from five area high schools will be exhibited March 9 - 10 at Tesora/Northwoods Crossing Event Center. The show, sponsored by the Burnett Area Arts Group (BAAG) celebrates National Youth Art Month.

“This new event provides community members an opportunity to appreciate the talents of outstanding high school art students,” said Thom Scott, BAAG chair and event organizer. “It’s the first of its kind in this area.”

Members of BAAG will set up and arrange the show

The participating schools are Webster, Siren, Luck, Grantsburg and Frederic. Each school’s art teacher will select up to 12 students in grades 9-12 to show two pieces of art. “This may vary if some schools have fewer participants,” explained Scott.

He went on to comment on the importance of the arts in education. “Art is a lifelong skill that is enjoyed not only as a profession, but also as a hobby and entertainment. It’s important that we include the arts in our school curriculum as a key component of a well-rounded education.”

The hours of the show are 5 - 8 p.m. on Friday, March 9, and 10

a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 10. At 6 p.m. on Friday, there will be a recognition ceremony. “We greatly appreciate the support of, and partnership with, Tesora owner Jake Mangelson,” said Scott.

Funding to support this program is from a grant awarded by Polk Burnett Electrical Cooperative’s Operation Round-Up. The Event Center is located at the crossroads of State Highways 35 and 70 in Siren. The Outstanding Art Student Show is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

Study on radio listening JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

“The machine of a dream, such a clean machine / With the pistons a pumpin’, and the hubcaps all gleam.”

Those are the first words to Queen’s, “I’m in Love with my Car,” it’s a sentiment I do not share with Roger Taylor.

Taylor has been the drummer of Queen since the beginning (1970) and I simply do not understand the motive of his statement that he is ‘in love’ with his car.

I really like my car’s ability to get me from point A to point B, but I do not love it.

However, I do love my car’s steSentinel reo. It’s not souped up with crazy subwoofers in the trunk or a crysEditor tal clean receiver with blu-tooth Jonathan Richie capabilities.

Nope, it’s just a regular factory installed radio and turning it on in the morning is one of my great joys.

A few weeks ago I was talking to my boss about his drive in. He had said something to the effect of, “I listen to the news on my drive, because I’ve heard that Stevie Nicks song a thousand times already.”

Which is true for most of us, whether it’s something Nicks did with Fleetwood Mac or Tom Petty or maybe it was “Edge of Seventeen.” It’s very likely that anyone who has been in a car in the last decade is very familiar with those bland classic rock songs.

Anyway the point I’m trying to make is I love listening to music in my car.

It allows me to blow off steam by listening to WuTang Clan as loudly as possible or I can sing along (yell along) with power pop music from the 00’s or turn on any station and listen to whatever, I enjoy it all.

I like to control the music though, so I have a fake cassette tape in my car that I can plug my phone into and listen to anything.

Since 1998, I have been conducting a (very) non-scientific study on what comes on the radio when driving. The stats shake out to, 50 percent of the time the selected radio is playing a commercial or a song you are dis-interested in.

The other half is an interesting split, 40 percent is songs that you don’t mind hearing. Which leads us to this last 10 percent of radio songs. These are your favorite. The songs you would listen to each and every day if you could.

My study shows that these songs are only played when you are less than 30 seconds from your destination. At this point we all have a choice to make.

We can either sit in the parking lot/driveway/garage and enjoy that song with a risk of being late or turn off something we love.

In conclusion, I will (almost) always choose to sit in the car until I hear the end of any song I love, whether it’s by Jack White or anything that 105 The Vibe is playing.

Don’t clone Rover TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

And God said, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and From the Publisher’s over every creeping thing that creepeth Desk upon the earth.” Genesis 1:26 Tom Stangl I was born the fiffth h off six i children hild fi to Arved and Mary Stangl in Manning, Iowa, and, as long as I can remember, there was a cat at our house. Since we lived in town, we could only have cats. My father grew up on a farm as a child and had dogs, but he could not stand dogs running loose, or worse yet — tied up and barking. “A dog belongs on a farm, where he can run free,” my father always said.

So, we had cats. Many cats, but no more than two at one time.

Stanley, Captain Crunch, George and Missy were among the childhood companion cats that I have fond memories of. Each had a dif-

ferent color and a unique personality. Many were buried in the back yard after they died.

As an adult, I have had the pleasure and pain of having both cats and dogs. When I owned my first home, I got a dog, a keeshond and springer spaniel mix named Teddy. She was a good dog, tolerant and watchful of our children growing up and an excellent watch dog. Teddy was the first animal that I had to euthanize. It was one of the hardest decisions my wife and I ever have had to make, and we were with her until the very end. Since then, I have been at the side of numerous cats and dogs as they died.

Pets teach us many things.

Among them are unconditional love and the power of a wagging tail or purr to bring your day into perspective. It’s a rather cruel irony that cats and dogs, companion pets, have life spans only a fraction of our own. I believe that this is part of God’s plan. Who can resist a puppy or a kitten? Is there an easier way to learn how to love, how to care for someone and how to learn to face death?

Recently, Barbra Streisand announced that she has cloned a favorite dog twice. Streisand is waiting to see if the two new dogs

have the personality of her beloved dog.

Pet cloning is in its infancy, something that the rich can now afford.. It costs an estimated $50,000 to clone a pet.

Think of it — you’ll never have to say good bye to your favorite pet.

Mishap with a car? Grow another!

Too old and frail? Get a new puppy!

If the entire idea is giving you the creeps, I’m right there with you. The essence and life experiences that made my dog Teddy the wonderful, loveable, aggravating dog she was left when she died. A copy might look the same, but so might another puppy — one with a different personality, one I might love just as much.

There are many reasons that we humans were given dominion over the creatures of the earth. I believe we know only a few of them, and with every advance in technology, I think we forget some.

I hope God grades on a curve.

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.

PUBLIC SAFETY: County Clerk of Courts says tax money is coming in earlier

Siren St. Pat’s celebration has all day fun

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

SIREN—Siren’s St. Patrick’s Day Celebration on Saturday, March 10 will be filled with all day fun! The day will begin with the Shamwalk/ Run 5K Race, an Outstanding Student Art show (see page 2 for for more information on these two events), and a special Lilac Village Open House will be happening throughout the day. In the afternoon, the ‘Lucky Lilac’ Scavenger Hunt and Parade will be followed by food and music specials at many Siren establishments plus a button drawing with the chance to win fabulous prizes!

Lilac Village Bed and Breakfast owners Pattie and Neal Wilson invite all to celebrate their Irish heritage with them from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at their St. Paddy’s Day Special Open House. Irish treats and refreshments, Lucky Shamrock drawings, and tours will be available.

At noon, contestants are invited to start the search for ‘Lucky Lilacs’ hidden within the Siren area. As ‘Siren’ means ‘lilac’ in Swedish, it was only natural that this name was given to the hunt. Siren area businesses will have the clues to the locations of this year’s three ‘Lucky Lilacs.’

Each clue adds to the information available to the seeker(s) - the more

clues, the better your chances to find the lilacs. The search continues until either all three lilacs are found or until 2 p.m. Clue locations and official rules for the hunt can be found online at VisitSiren.com or at the Siren Post Office. Instead of a ‘pot of gold,’ an ‘incredible prize package’ awaits each winner.

The 40th Annual Siren St. Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off at 2 p.m. on Main Street. Come meet the St. Paul Winter Carnival Royal Family and the Vulcans who will be joining the fun, as well as Siren’s own royalty and those from other nearby towns. For parade details or questions, call 715-349-2954.

Holiday specials, some including music, are being featured at Kris’ Pheasant Inn, Little Mexico, Pour House, and Tavern on Main. Dine on corned beef and cabbage and there’s likely to be a green beer available, too. For a chance to win fabulous prizes, buttons will be on sale at these businesses as well as Peggy’s Fashion Rack & Gifts. Prizes include an overnight stay, shopping sprees, gift certificates, and cash.

The winning buttons will be chosen this year at Kris’ Pheasant Inn at 4:30 p.m.

about what are the feasible options for the county.

“The question is what can we do,” Taylor said. “I think the best option is to put pressure on the state.”

Taylor then asked Schmidt to compile some of the department statistics on their caseload.

“I want to look at total cases for 2016 and 2017,” Taylor said. “All criminal cases and it should include a breakdown of felony versus misdemeanors.”

Tax season “From the first of the year to yesterday (Feb. 28), we’ve collected $14,000 in taxes,” Schmidt said. “It’s pretty good for this time of year.”

Schmidt said that last year at this time they had collected about $7,000.

“It’s a huge improvement from last year,” Schmidt said. “I don’t know if it’s all because people are filing early, but it’s a lot of money for this time of year.”

Schmidt told the committee at the beginning of her report and reminded them at the end that she brought a note pad to the meeting so she could write down what information the committee wanted from her.

“I come to these meetings and I’m still not sure what you want,” Schmidt said.

“So I brought this notepad to write down what you want for next month.”

Members acknowledged that they appreciate Schmidt coming to their meetings and did ask her to compile various crime statistics for their meeting next month.

his daily report that there were no emergencies in the month of February.

He said that in the last few weeks he was an evaluator for two active shooter scenarios, one in Clear Lake and the other in Shell Lake.

Tolbert will be in Appleton later this month for the Governor’s Conference for emergency managers. He then talked about the county’s preparedness if storm shelters are needed.

“We do not have any designated storm shelters besides the three schools,” Tolbert said. “So I sent out 108 questionnaires to churches, towns and senior centers asking if they are willing to open for shelters.”

Tolbert said the questionnaires, which were only sent out to non-profits or municipalities, asked if they would be willing to open up their buildings as a short-term shelter (one or two days maximum) or long-term (up to six days.)

“Most of these are coming back with positive feedback,” Tolbert said.

He was asked about the safety of campgrounds in the county, and he replied that the campgrounds are some of the most vulnerable places across the county.

Committee member Gene Olson asked about building a large shelter on the proposed county campground.

“Couldn’t we put a large structure in this campground if it gets built,” Olson asked.

Tolbert said that it is not a bad idea putting a large shelter in the proposed campground, but added there’s a lot the county could spend money on.

“There’s a lot of stuff and material we can spend money on,” Tolbert said.

“It’s another question of what we should spend money on.”

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– Members of the Public Safety committee listened to the Sheriff’s Department monthly report last week. Part of that report came from the Jail Administrator who called it statistics day for the committee.

Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said so far in 2018 the department has been, “steady as she goes.”

He also said they had a very busy month with a significant narcotics arrest in February of Michael Denn.

“He’s got a $25,000 cash bond,” Wilhelm said. “We believe he’s a major player in the distribution of narcotics.”

He added that this case was solved with solid hard work from his department. The K-9 unit was not involved with this investigation.

Wilhelm said that Denn was in court last month, his bond was reduced to $5,000 and has posted that amount.

“We had detectives in Polk County on Monday or last Friday,” Wilhelm said. “They busted up a major burglary ring in Sterling Township. Most of the stolen property coming from cabins and deer hunting shacks.”

Board of Supervisors Chairman Don Taylor explained to the committee that there are a lot of hunting cabins down in Sterling owned by people that live in Burnett County, but also a lot who may not come back up here until next fall when hunting season begins.

“We’ve recovered stolen vehicles and even a trailer,” Wilhelm said. “Sorting all of that can take a while.”

Wilhelm added the property s being stored in Polk County. As the cabin owners make it back to their cabins they can head down there and pick up their property.

Discussion on jail Burnett County Jail Administrator Mark Schmidt came directly to the meeting from Drug Court with a lot of data about inmate population and other information about the county jail.

“Right now we’ve got 25 upstairs (in the county jail) and 22 out of county with another two on the monitor (prisoners on home monitoring program),” Schmidt said.

He added that in 2016 there were about 1,100 prisoners and last year there were 1,200.

“That’s an eight percent population increase,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt said that there has been a 13 percent increase in females in the jail and stated that was directly linked to the drug problem in the county.

He added that he was on the phone with Wisconsin Department of Corrections officials to discuss the possibility of a new facility or an expansion of their current jail. He said the outcome of those calls was disappointing.

“This whole thing is as clear as mud,” Schmidt said.

“I was just trying to get some ballpark numbers and it was not what I was expecting.”

There are many things the county has to consider before looking into expanding their current jail facility or building a completely new facility. Those include how many floors will the jail have? Will they offer Huber work release? Will they have to build an entire Justice Center like Polk County?

Schmidt was asked if juveniles would be housed in this new facility.

“That is a whole ‘nother ballgame,” Schmidt said. “I guess I was naive trying to come up with a 60 bed jail and wasn’t thinking about this other stuff.”

Schmidt also outlined a new schedule for the jail that he explained in detail to the committee.

“First you have to choose between 8- or 12-hour shifts and keeping in mind it’s a 24/7 operation,” Schmidt said. “The 8-hour days are better for the guys, and you would need six different people per day.”

This would mean hiring twelve full-time employees and two to be reserves, Schmidt said. If they were to go with the 12-hour shifts, the system would be similar.

“We would need about four people a day, which would be eight full-time people,” Schmidt said. “And of course there are other things to consider for these positions. These are ballpark estimates.”

Schmidt was presenting as part of the Sheriff’s report so nothing was voted on at this time.

In other news: • The committee approved filling the vacant Deputy position in the Sheriff’s department.

shootings with the kids.

“Right now we’re seeing a lot of copycat stuff, especially in the area,” Sybers said.

He explained that national media coverage is skewing the facts of school shootings.

“They say there have been 18 school shootings so far this year. It’s actually more like six,” Sybers said.

He cited the recent shooting in Michigan, where a college student shot both his parents in his dorm room.

“He had contact with police and they offered him help,” Sybers said.

“He said, ‘no, I’ll be fine.’ It’s all a choice. It’s like drugs. If I put my gun on the table it’s not going to just go off, someone has to fire it.”

That is the main point Sybers is taking to the students, “It’s all about choices.”

Full Time Officer Last week at a special village board meeting in Siren, members of the board went into closed session to discuss promoting Trevor Thiex to a full-time position with Siren PD. The board approved the promotion without a negative vote.

“I’m grateful that they have done this,” Thiex said. “I look to do good and great things for the village.”

Thiex now joins Sybers and Officer Aaron Bentley as the three full-time officers in the department.

“Hopefully bringing Trevor in at full-time will help us handle the caseload,” Sybers said. “This will give us more time to investigate stolen property cases and now we’ll be able to do more in-depth investigations.”

Sybers said the department still has six part-time officers, but does not know how many hours he’ll have for them in the coming weeks. The department had 74 cases in January and Sybers said although February is a shorter month, the caseload has not gone down significantly.

He said he will have more information for the Village Board Meeting on March 8.

Officer at Career Day Thiex has also been at the school working as a resource officer with the students. He was at the school last week for career day with the first graders.

“They’re pretty young, and were asking basic questions about what’s on my duty belt and asking about my bulletproof vest,” Thiex said.

Thiex said a significant question was posed to him, and he took his time in responding.

“The kids asked if I had ever been scared,” Thiex said. “They’re all under the impression that law enforcement doesn’t get scared. I told them, ‘the answer is easy, yes. That’s what keeps people alive. That fear can give police a heightened sense of awareness.’ ”

NEW NAME, SAME GREAT DENTAL CARE

Minnesota woman arrested for 5th OWI Offense and open intoxicants JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

MEENON–– Mary A. Linehan, 71, Shafer, Minn., was charged with operating while intoxicated 5th offense stemming from an incident in September 2017. She was also issued citations for operating left of center and possess open intoxicants in a motor vehicle.

According to the criminal complaint, Burnett County Sheriff’s dispatch received a report of a vehicle all Linehan over the roadway and crossing the center line on September 22.

Sheriff’s Deputy Mitchell Olson was responding to the area when he was advised that Webster Police Chief Mike Spafford was following the suspect vehicle. This was at approximately 10:29 p.m.

Spafford reported via radio that the

suspect vehicle had crossed the center line of south 35 near Bass Lake Road.

Olson caught up with the vehicle and took a position directly behind the suspect vehicle so he could observe driving behavior.

Olson was driving behind the suspect vehicle on South 35 at the intersection with County Highway D. Olson observed the suspect vehicle cross the center line twice and noted both driver’s side tires crossed the line. He then initiated the traffic stop. Spafford and Webster Police Officer Derek Peterson assisted in the traffic stop.

Olson made contact with the driver and identified Linehan by her Minnesota driver’s license. He explained to her that she had been crossing the center line and asked where she was coming from.

Linehan said she went to meet with someone to sell some of her jewelry, and then went to the casino in Danbury.

While speaking with her, Olson noticed SEE LINEHAN, PAGE 13

COVER TO COVER - Grantsburg Public Library

Cover Your Butt BY: ANNA TREAGUE, RN, BURNETT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH

Colorectal cancer is the second leading deadliest cancer that affects both men and women in the US. This statistic doesn’t have to be this way because early screenings can catch precancerous polyps before they become cancerous. The CDC recommends that all men and women ages 50 and older receive screenings because 90 percent of colorectal cancer occurs in this population.

There are a number of screenings that can be done, but the best thing to do is to talk to your doctor to find a screening to fit your needs. Some of the screenings are stool tests that look for blood, antibodies or altered DNA. Other screenings are much more diagnostic such as a Sigmoidoscopy, which looks at the lower third of the colon, or a Colonoscopy which looks at the entire colon. Getting screenings done early is a powerful weapon against colorectal cancer, as it may take as many as 10-15 years for a polyp to develop into colorectal cancer. When polyps are found this early, they can be removed before actually turning into colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, just a bit more than half of the people who need to get screenings, actually do.

Colorectal cancer doesn’t always have symptoms, especially early on in the disease. This is where early screening plays that crucial role.

If you are experiencing symptoms of colorectal cancer, they may include: blood in your stool, stomach pain, aches or cramps that don’t go away and unexpected weight loss.

Surgery remains the most effective treatment for colorectal cancer, with radiation therapy being the most effective additional therapy before or after surgery. Overall, treatment is based largely on the stage of the cancer. Being aware and getting early screening can prevent even getting to the point of treatment.

WEEKLY WAG

Here fishy, fishy!

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Aimless young man looking for a purpose in life Moloy is an 80-pound, male German Shepherd Dog who, at about a year and a half old, probably won’t be seeing any more significant growth spurts. He is a friendly, handsome, black and tan guy who lost part of his tail to frostbite this winter, but still has enough of it left to clear a coffee table! Moloy already knows how to sit, but it’s not clear what other tricks he has under his fur. The staff says Moloy is very smart and food-motivated, which is Moloy always a great combination when teaching new skills!

Like most young dogs, he needs lots of exercise to tire him out, or he’s going to find a not-so-great way to burn off his energy himself. Moloy is the perfect dog for a job, agility training, scenting, or outdoor adventures. He isn’t possessive over his stuff and is good with kids.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to be Moloy’s leader, contact HSBC for a face-to-muzzle interview.

What no-kill means to HSBC There are a lot of opinions as to what a no-kill shelter is all about. For HSBC, the commitment is to save lives, but the dream is to have a no-kill community. What does that mean?

For HSBC, no-kill means the door would always be open to all in need. At present, our policy states the only time euthanasia is an option is when the shelter is unable to offer an animal a pain-free, good quality of life, or when an animal is too emotionally damaged by its past to live safely out in our communities. While HSBC does not euthanize healthy and treatable animals to create space for more animals in the shelter, space constraints create many challenges to fulfilling the commitment to saving lives. Primary priority is to have space for homeless animals which have nowhere to go. We do not turn away any stray dogs but use managed intake tools to determine shelter capacity for stray cats and surrendered pets.

In our opinion, this is not a true no-kill situation. We aspire to do much, much more. The long-term goal is to be able to accept any animal in need – dog or cat, stray or surrender, healthy or ill/injured, young or old, behaviorally sound or emotionally damaged – and be able to provide whatever it takes for as long as it takes to be able to place every healthy and treatable animal that comes to us into a loving home for life.

The Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption and Education Center will become the key to realizing that no-kill dream: providing the community a guaranteed place for animals in need, increasing public safety, and creating more humane ways for people and animals to co-exist.

You can help make these dreams a reality through donor-suported programs like your annual membership dues, recurring monthly donations, volunteerism, and community involvement on many levels.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will our dream of having a no-kill community, but it is achievable with hard work and community support.

Donations needed for the Bark and Wine A great way to get involved is to donate! From now until April 9, HSBC is looking for items to create silent auction baskets for the Bark and Wine fundraiser on April 28. How about a car wash kit with sponges, soap, wax, and buffers in a bucket? Or a grill basket containing sauce, a brush, tongs, and some mesquite chips?

Your imagination is the limit.

Don’t want to think that hard? No problem. Bring new items or new/gently used baskets to the shelter, and we’ll put together something fun. Raffle tickets will be available soon, so keep up with HSBC so you don’t miss out!

LINEHAN: Open beer can found in car, could get 10 years in jail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

Linehan allegedly had bloodshot eyes and her speech was slurred. Olson could smell the odor of intoxicants coming from her as she spoke.

He asked if she had been drinking and Linehan said she had two light beers. The first was around 5 p.m. and her last was around 8:30 p.m. Olson asked if that was all she had to drink that day. She said she had more to drink earlier in the day, but the beers were her most recent drinks.

Olson ran a check of Linehan’s driv-

er’s license status. Dispatch told Olson her Minnesota license status was valid but said she had a Wisconsin license under a different last name, and that her Wisconsin status was revoked.

He began the field sobriety testing, and asked Linehan if she had any medical issues. She said she recently had back surgery and had difficulty walking. After the field sobriety testing, Olson asked if she would submit to a PBT (preliminary breath test) and she said she would. He administered the test, with a result of 0.182.

Olson then informed Linehan she

was under arrest for operating while under the influence. He asked if he could move her vehicle off the road, and she said yes. After he opened the driver’s side door he saw a partially full can of Hamm’s light beer inside of a foam holder. He poured out the beer and moved the vehicle on to the shoulder and put the hazards on.

Operating while intoxicated-5th offense, is a class G felony, if convicted she faces a possible $25,000 in fines and up to ten years imprisoned, or both.

Linehan is scheduled to have a pre-trial conference on April 4.

The Deadline for all ad copy is Monday at Noon.

Tigers win battle with Pirates for Regional title

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—Saturday night’s showdown between the Grantsburg Pirates and the Webster Tigers lived up to the hype as two fierce West Lakeland rivals battled it out for the Regional crown and a chance to keep their season alive, moving on to Sectional play.

This was the rubber match, the tie-breaker— call it what you want, it was a season changing game and everyone knew it. One team would move closer to the State tournament, the other would go home.

The gymnasium was filled to capacity with fans from both schools dressed in their favorite school colors, as well as high school basketball fans from around the area who wanted to see two powerhouse teams battle it out on the court.

These two teams know each other well. They have played twice this season, splitting the wins. The Tigers won the first contest on their home court in December, with the Pirates coming away with the win when they met in Grantsburg back in January. They are Co-Champs of the West Lakeland Conference, each with a 10-2 record. Both teams’ second loss came at the hands of the Unity Eagles.

When the dust settled on Saturday night, it was the Tigers who stood victorious, 60-47, bringing home Webster’s first Regional championship since 2010.

STACY COY | SENTINEL

Webster’s Hunter Rosenbaum (15) gets around Grantsburg’s Joseph Ohnstad during the Regional Championship game on Saturday night.

“This is amazing,” Tigers head coach Rob Scherrer said with a laugh and a smile after the game. “You gotta love March Madness and you gotta love basketball.”

“You start working in early November, and all the way into March you finally see the fruits of your labor,” Scherrer said. “To win a Regional title after all the hard work they have put in and heartache they have gone through to get to this point, I can’t help but smile.”

The Tigers got on the board first off a bullet pass from Carson Stenberg to Trevor Gustafson for an easy shot before Grantsburg went on a 10-0 run to take a 10-2 lead early on.

The Tigers clawed their way back into the game to tie it up at 14-14 with 7:20 left in the first half. This is also when John Chenal picked up his third foul and headed to the bench for the remainder of the half. Chenal had scored 10 of the Pirates’ 14 points at that point in the game.

The score was knotted up at 16 each before Hunter Rosenbaum hit a three-pointer to give the Tigers their largest lead of the game at 19-16 with just over three minutes left in the first half.

The Tigers held on to that three point lead heading into the break, up 22-19.

Gerber, Hol, Petersen compete at State meet WISCONSIN RAPIDS—“It is always great to be at the State Meet,” voiced GLUW gymnastics coach Kathy Lund.

“Gracie Gerber, Kaylee Hol and Jeni Petersen gave it their best and did a great job at representing three schools.”

The three gymnasts qualified for the Division 2 State gymnastics meet in Wisconsin Rapids on Saturday.

Gerber competed on both the Bars and Vault, finishing 22nd and 14th respectively. She finished in 17th place in the All-Around competition.

“Gracie Gerber was having an awesome meet in the All-Around Competition. Unfortunately, an unexpected tap on the low bar going into her dismount created a frightening fall from the high bar. This took her out of medaling position. She only had a few minutes to recover before heading to our final

event, the beam.”

“With pure determination to finish the meet, Gracie demonstrated the mental toughness to push through. It was so awesome to see the camaraderie from our Sectional gymnasts and coaches, cheering her through a stick beam routine!”

Kaylee Hol finished 17th on the Beam with a score of 8.067. Jeni Petersen recorded a score of 8.3 on the Floor, good for a 19th place finish.

“Both Gracie and Kaylee missed half a season due to injuries. Jeni has been consistent all season. We are so proud of all their accomplishments.”

Gracie Gerber was named All-State First Team – Bars. Jeni Petersen was named All-State Second Team-Vault, and Kate Weiss was named All-State Second Team – Floor.

Pirates advance to Regional final

Dragons defeated

by South Shore, end season

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates took care of business Friday night, defeating the Chetek-Weyerhauser Bulldogs 5640 to advance to the Regional finals on Saturday night.

Despite not having their scoring leader on the floor for much of the game, the Pirates secured the win to keep their season alive. John Chenal had been battling Influenza B all week and saw limited playing time.

“I really liked how we came out and competed to start the game without John on the floor. Not an easy thing to do when you take your best player off the floor, especially in an emotional game in the playoffs,” Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg said. “John came in and gave us a little spark, along with a couple of big shots by Joe (Ohnstad) to create some separation going into halftime.”

The Bulldogs stayed with the Pirates until midway through the first half. In fact, the score was tied at 14-14 with about seven minutes left in the half.

But back-to-back three-point shots by Ohnstad put the Pirates up 20-14 to ramp up the Grantsburg offense. Ohnstad hit two more shots from behind the arc in the second half as well.

The Pirates headed to the locker room with a 29-20 lead at the

PORT WING—The South Shore Cardinals beat the Siren Dragons 56-39 last Friday in a Division 5, Section One regional semifinal game.

No Siren stats were made available at press time.

South Shore had three players in double figures.

Siren finishes the season with a 3-9 conference record and a 10-14 record overall.

The Dragons have three seniors on their squad this year, but a good group of underclassmen will step up and take the reigns next year.

break.

They cranked it up the second half, on both ends of the floor, and held the Bulldogs scoreless until the 13-minute mark.

“In the second half, we were able to increase the intensity on defense and really rattled them,” Hallberg noted. “On the offensive end for the night, we couldn’t have been any more balanced. A great way to start the tournament

run and get into another regional championship tomorrow night.”

Ohnstad and Tyrell Brande led the scoring charge for the Pirates with 12 points each. The Chenal brothers, John and Leo, were tied with nine points each. Jared VanWatermeulen was next on the list with eight points, followed by Luke Anderson with four and Austin Wedin with three.

Tigers move to Regional Finals with win over Eagles

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—With a 69-51 win over the Unity Eagles on Friday night, the Webster Tigers are in the WIAA Division 4, Section 1 Regional Final, preparing to go to Grantsburg to face the Pirates with whom they split over the regular season.

“I really think we’re peaking at the right time,” said Tiger coach Rob Scherrer. It’s been several games now that we’ve played pretty well.”

“Tonight, Unity came to play. We came to play.”

Early in the contest, an unexpected ally-oop dunk from Carsen Stenberg to Jack Washburn got the crowed going and made the score at that time 6-2 for the Tigers.

GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL

Webster’s Trevor Gustafson (20) prepares to dribble-drive around Unity’s Jacob Bloom during Friday night’s Section 1 Regional semi final game, won by the Tigers 69-51.

But that didn’t phase the Eagles as they fought back and with 7:39 left in the first half, took a 17-16 lead.

A pair of free throws got it to 19-16.

Then each team scored a three point shot, Webster’s

by Austin Moser and Unity’s by Hunter Pedersen. A one for two free throw by Moser and a three point shot

by Moser put the Tigers back on top by one, 23-22.

Each team scored five and at the intermission, the Tigers were up by a single point, 28-27.

A 9-6 Tiger run stretched the lead to 37-33 with 11:15 remaining in the contest.

Unity knotted the score at 37 on buckets by Logan Hendrickson and Cody Ince.

The Tigers than outscored the Eagles to change the score to 49-42 with 6:21 remaining. Webster put in three three-pointers with Jack Washburn, Colton Peterson and Carsen Stenberg all burying the net.

A 7-2 run put the Tigers up 56-45 with 3:48 remaining in regulation.

Another Tiger run, 6-3, upped the ante to 62-49 with a little less than two minutes remaining.

Webster went on to finish the game at 69-51.

“Unity is a better team than to go out on a second round game,” praised Coach Scherrer, “ but fortunately we came out on top.”

“Our big three (T. Gustafson, Washburn, Rosenbaum) did well, yet the key comes down to Hunter Gustafson, Colton Peterson, Austin Moser and Carsen Stenberg. We pushed the tempo in the second half and Carson starts all that. Colton played good defense tonight holding Hendrickson to 18.”

“I think we rebounded well for being undersized.

You put all these things together and you get the results we got.”

Washburn led all scorers with 27 for Webster. Rosenbaum and T. Gustafson each had 10 for the Tigers.

Logan Hendrickson scored 18 for Unity with Jaxon Flaherty getting 13.

Emma Quimby, Grantsburg, was seventh in the state in regards to goalie save percentage. Quimby is goalie for the Hayward Hurricanes girls co-op hockey team, During the regular season, Quimby was in 24 games for a total of 1,171:13 minutes. She had a season record of 11-12. 684 shots were placed on her and she saved 627 of them for a percentage of .917.

Come playoff time, she was in two games for 110 minutes. She had a 1-1 record with 64 saves on 68 shots on goal for a save percentage of .941.

into the break only down three with John on the bench for the last six or seven minutes.”

The scoring picked up some in the second half with the Tigers outscoring the Pirates 38-28, most of those coming later in the half as neither team seemed to find their groove offensively early on.

The game was tied at 33-33 with 7:00 to go before Rosenbaum hit another clutch three-pointer to regain the lead, 36-33. The Tigers never gave up the lead the remainder of the game, sealing the game from the free throw line.

Grantsburg’s Tyrell Brande hit back-to-back shots from behind the arc to bring the game to within four with 2:42 left to go.

But the Tigers were able to control the ball, eat up the clock, and finish their shots which forced the Pirates to foul.

Webster was good at the line when it counted the most, and finished the game.

“In the second half, we

just could not get any of the good looks we wanted to get, and a lot of that had to do with Webster’s defense,” Grantsburg’s Coach Hallberg said. “We were able to get into a few things that we haven’t

Foul trouble really hurt our team tonight and made us a little more passive on both ends than we’d ever anticipated having to be in this game.”

Brande led all scorers with 18. John Chenal was next on the Pirate scoring list with 14. Luke Anderson added six, Jared VanWatermeulen four, Austin Wedin three, and Leo Chenal chipped in two to finish the list.

For the Tigers, it was Trevor Gustafson leading the charge with 16 points followed closely by Jack Washburn with 15. Hunter Gustafson had a big night down low, adding 12 points to the cause.

line for one point on the night.

“I thought the key for us was to play even with Grantsburg in the paint,” Scherrer noted. “Coleton Peterson did a heck of a job defending John Chenal. Hunter Gustafson and Austin Moser also played really solid in the trenches.”

“I don’t think either one of us had a really good rhythm most of the game,” Scherrer said of both teams. “It was a slugfest defensively.

Both teams were getting after it on the defensive side of the ball, creating turnovers and creating bad shots. We were just lucky enough to get a little cushion with a couple minutes left where they had to start taking chances, which really opened the court for us to blow the game open.”

The Pirates finish their season at 19-4 with a conference championship to add to the purple banners that adorn the wall in the gym.

“As for our season, we can’t complain. We came out on top of a very tough conference and these

boys can be proud of that accomplishment. Lots of positives to hold onto for them and things that they’ll appreciate down the road. It goes without saying that we’d have liked to continue playing into March,” Coach Hallberg said of his Pirates.

“I would like to thank John and Joe for their commitment to this program and always being positive leaders and good teammates. They’ve certainly left their mark on the program, going 51-19 as varsity players the last three years and winning the conference in their senior season. This team will miss John and Joe, no doubt, but there is a lot of talent coming back.

The Blizzard’s first game on Saturday was a nail biter against Altoona; they never stopped fighting or believing and won 5 to 4 in overtime. The next contest

was against Marinette. It was an evenly matched game but penalties hurt the Blizzard resulting in a 6-9 loss. Sunday, the Blizzard took on Viroqua for third place. The game was tied 4-4 in the second period, but due to a few bad bounces and a lucky goaltender, the Blizzard lost 7-4.

G. Elizabeth Coffin

Rita Joy Staples

G. Elizabeth Coffin, 65, of Dairyland passed away unexpectedly at her home on Friday, March 2, 2018.

Services honoring the life of Elizabeth Coffin will take place at the Northland Community Center on M March 16 at 11 a.m.

Memorials may be made tto: Humane Society of B Burnett County, 7347 Midttown Rd. Siren, WI 54872 or credit card donations o may be made by calling the m Humane Society at 715-866H 44096.

Elizabeth was born on October 10, 1952 in Evanston, t Ill., the daughter of Ed and I Grace Elizabeth “Betty” G Tatge and Thomas Turner (stepfather).

Elizabeth graduated high school in Evanston, and went on to receive her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She was a Veterinary Technician and worked at the Dairyland Veterinary Clinic for many years. Liz married Gregory Coffin Jr. on June 21, 1975 in Evanston. Their marriage was blessed with two sons.

Elizabeth was a caring, thoughtful, and compassionate person. She was a lifelong animal advocate and loved her many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. She was an accomplished flower and vegetable gardener. It brought her immense pride to share her gladiolas with friends and feed her green beans to family. She enjoyed spending time at the family cabin at the lake, and especially loved watching the sunset with her family and friends on the dock. She fished year-round and was a firm believer in the 3 p.m. fish run that only worked when you did the tip-up dance.

Hunting season and deer camp were special times for her, and while she was a great huntress, recently she was happy to simply watch the deer come in to her stand. Her vibrant artwork is a constant reminder of the beautiful and wonderous things she saw and experienced in life; especially the things that meant the most to her. She accomplished her dream, which was to live life with her husband “Gig” and her boys in Dairyland on the farm with her garden and at the family cabin.

Elizabeth was devoted to her family, her brothers, her sons and daughters-in-law, and most of all her grandchildren, which brought such brightness and joy to her life. She is survived by her two sons: Stan (Rebecca), Golden Valley and Chris (LaTisha), Ashland; grandchildren: Andrew and Abigail; brother, Arthur (Stephanie) Tatge, Conn.; mother-in-law, Nancy Coffin, Marblehead, Mass.; numerous nieces, nephews, other loving family and friends.

Elizabeth was preceded in death by her parents: Grace, Ed and Thomas; husband, Gregory Jr.; and brothers: Bill, John, George, and James.

Lastly, Liz always believed in the importance of growing things. She felt that though it was important to put in the time needed to nurture flowers, it was equally or perhaps more important to take the time to stop and smell them. In memory of Liz, just stop and smell the flowers and take time to dance in the rain.

March started out quietly, sunny and warmer. A taste of spring. Then wham! Yup. We’re reminded it’s winter. We get rain, ice and snow.

It looks like we’re going green at the center. Oh? It’s just the decorations for St. Pat’s Day. Sometimes we have to try and find any reason to help make these last winter days cheerful.

Feel the need to get out of the house and find something different to learn and share? How about local history? Well, come join the Grantsburg Historical Society on their presentation of the “Grantsburg Cranberry Industry,” Thursday, March 15 at 6 p.m. here at Senior Center.

We offer Wi-Fi, coffee and goodies, and check out the book nook. Questions on meal reservations, hall rentals, or other requests, call the center at 715-4632940 or email us at gburg118@gmail.com.

Can you believe we are already thinking of turning our clocks back an hour? We only have a week to go and we’ll have more daylight. I hear some of our snowbirds have made plans to start coming back.

We will have our monthly potluck on March 14, and the nutrition program will serve lunch on March 21.

We have been receiving some items for our Silent Auction on April 28. If you would care to donate anything, bring items in to the center and put my name on them. I will see that they get to the right person.

I don’t know who won the bingo dollar jackpot. I was not at dime bingo and nobody wrote the name down, but if someone gets it to me, I can write it up next week.

We are still getting good crowds for both 500 and Spades. We had four and a half tables for Spades. I believe we had over six tables for 500. We love it when we have such a good turnout!

Our 500 winners were Jim Anderson, Wade Rufsholm, Shirley Doriott, Arnie Borchert, and Sue Newberger. Marvin Olson won the 9 bid. Marvin is a new player, so we hope he continues to come and play. Spade winners were Arnie Borchert, Gerry Vogel, Sandy Hickey, Tim McNitt, and Laryn Larson.

Nona Severson got the 9 bid.

Dates To Remember: •March 11 – Daylight Saving Time Begins •March 17 – St Patrick’s Day •March 20 – First Day of Spring

No More Barriers

Pastor Eddie Crise UMC Danbury, Grace, Siren, Lewis

This season of Lent is often associated with giving up some kind of indulgence in an effort to identify with the sacrifice of Jesus. But instead of giving up something physical, what if we gave up the things that keep us from truly giving our hearts to God? What if we set aside the need to put on appearances on Sunday morning, the tendency to use â&#x20AC;&#x153;churchyâ&#x20AC;? language, or any worries we might have if we shared the rawness that our heart was feeling?

God sent Jesus to walk among us, to know our greatest joys, our struggles, and experience the best and worst that humanity has

to offer.

This year during Lent, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to break down any barriers that keep us from truly allowing Jesus to walk beside us. When Jesus drove the money-changers out of the temple, he did so to remove impediments to worship like having the right currency or the proper gift for God. Recently, Matt Redmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Heart of Worship,â&#x20AC;? has been playing in my head. In the booming church where Redman was the worship leader, the music was inspiring and powerful. But the pastor decided to change things drastically, to turn

off the sound system and worship without the lights, guitars, and speakers.

What came out of that time of refocusing on God was one of the most powerful worship songs around â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a reminder that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about our own talents, but what God is doing.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reminded â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring you more than a song/ For a song in itself / Is not what you require.â&#x20AC;? So I pray that you can open yourself to God, and I pray that the Church can lay down any barriers so that God can move within you during Lent.
