BURNETT COUNTY–– Joseph Schieffer met with the committee he will be reporting to over the next two years as Burnett County District Attorney. The Public Safety committee was eager to speak with him as they have been waiting for over three months for Gov. Scott Walker to appoint a new District Attorney.

Former DA Bill Norine resigned at the beginning of September and since then Schieffer and Assistant DA Dan Steffen have been splitting the duties. Schieffer was appointed Dec. 4 by Gov. Walker and was in front of the committee on Thursday to introduce himself.

“It’s pronounced She-fer, the exact opposite of how it’s spelled,” Schieffer said. “It’s a

Construction worker is suspect in Best Western theft JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN––A man from Richfield, Minn., is suspected of stealing over $4,500 in hunting equipment. He alleges he found the items outside the Best Western Northwoods Lodge in Siren.

Corey D. Lussier, 35, has been charged with theft of movable property (>$2,500-$5,000), a class I felony and a misdemeanor charge of possession of THC. He was in town working with a construction crew finishing a job in Danbury.

According to the criminal complaint, on the morning of Nov. 29 sheriff deputies were dispatched to the hotel after the front desk clerk allegedly witnessed

someone taking property out of a pick up truck in the parking lot.

Deputies met with the victims who told them that they were in the area for a hunting trip. They said items including a bow, arrows, knives and clothing were taken out of their truck.

It was snowing that morning and deputies noticed a fresh sheet of snow in the hotel parking lot and also saw a single set of footprints leading to and around the truck.

One of the deputies was able to track those footprints back to the Pinewood Motel, about a six-minute walk south from the Best Western to the Pinewood Motel - both are on State Road 35. They met with the contractor Foreman who directed them to two workers staying

in a room.

When deputies entered the room they saw “a large pile of bow hunting equipment that matched the description of the stolen property.”

Lussier told them that he found the items “outside.”

During the search of the room one deputy also found a small amount of marijuana allegedly belonging to Lussier. It was field tested and the results came back for the presence of THC. It weighed 1.19 grams.

The complaint contains a list of 14 items allegedly stolen by Lussier with the sum of the list being $4,649.

Lussier is set to make his initial appearance in front of Judge Melissia Mogen on Dec. 12.

PUBLIC SAFETY: discussion on jail continues with administrator hoping to form group to look at problem Schmidt brought in data that stated her office has an average of about 900 pending cases monthly.

In November they opened 181 cases and closed 188.

She said the addition of a second courtroom has stretched the staff and made the department more stressful.

“We are doing two courtrooms three days a week,” Schmidt said.

She is getting some help from e-filing paperwork.

“It’s definitely helped us. What used to take a solid 20 minutes, now takes our staff less than five minutes,” Schmidt said.

He said he plans on having “some-what of an open-door policy” as he tackles all issues in the county from the illegal vehicles on the Gandy Dancer Trail to possession of methamphetamine.

Schieffer also referenced what is commonly referred to in his line of work as burnout.

“It’s a real thing and I’m glad to see Burnett County has a new judge, new sheriff and a new DA,” Schieffer said. “We’re going to give it the old college try.”

Clerk of Courts Trudy Schmidt made her final appearance at the meeting as she is set to retire at the end of the year. Jacqueline

Board begins discussion surrounding Tesora and Adventures JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN–– The Siren Village Board heard from Jake Mengelson and representatives from Adventures Church.

Mengelson owns Tesora, he told the board his cancer has returned and is looking at selling Tesora to do the best thing possible for his family. He acknowledged that he does not have any written agreement with the church and that everything so far has been preliminary talks.

The issue for the board that Jim Pearson pointed out was that this is a zoning issue.

“That’s a valuable commercial piece, we need to decide if we are willing to lose that lot for commercial purposed,” Pearson explained.

CJ Johnson, pastor at Adventures Church, explained that his congregation is growing and is on pace to reach 1,000 in the near future. He said that their current location, 23811 Highway 35, is about 11 or 12 acres.

“We have space to expand, but it could take a year to a year and a half to build a new church there,” Johnson said. He continued to explain that he intends on allowing events to still take place int the convention center throughout the year.

Mangelson has said that he will allow anyone that already has Northwoods Crossing Event Center booked for 2019 will be honored. This includes the Destination Wedding Fair sponsored by the Siren Chamber of Commerce.

“We want to hold homecoming and prom,” Johnson said of other events that the event center holds throughout the year.

Johnson continued to explain that he has done a similar deal in Burnsville, Minn., and that his church has people coming from all

IT Department fends off potential cyber attack JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– At last month’s Administration committee meeting, James Leckel, Information Technology (IT) Director at the Government Center said someone had probed their phones to see what they could get away with.

“It was not so much a cyber attack, more like a probe to find out what our system was going to let them do,” Leckel said. “ They were successful at getting our phone system to call overseas with a never used feature that allows for a wakeup call.

In one attempt they were able to hold that line open for several hours.”

He added that the phone company was the one who tipped them off to what had been happening with international calling.

“The only ‘hacking’ they did was to guess some of our user’s easy voicemail passwords to access the phone system menus,” Leckel said. “We have since disabled some of these unused voicemail features and also disabled international calling.”

Leckel also advises people to be aware of their passwords no matter what they are for.

“For public awareness I guess the fact that anything is targetable, regardless of how mundane it seems,” Leckel said. “Secure everything with a password and make sure never use the same password for multiple websites. Using a password manager like KeePass is an excellent way to keep all your passwords straight.”

County Administrator Nate Ehalt said the County, along with the telephone provider will continue to watch the system for abnormal activity.

Tesora’s Restaurant and Adventures Church have been discussing the sale of the restaurant in the future.

over the region, including Webster, Danbury, Pine City and Spooner.

He then threw out the idea that the Village could buy his lot and develop that into houses, senior living facility or even apartments.

The board discussed the issue and decided that first they need to sit down with their lawyer and discuss what the zoning code says now and find out if the C-2 status allows churches. Then they will have to decide if they want to change the zoning. After that they will need to hold a public hearing before they can officially change the zoning of the lot to allow churches.

The Village’s plan commission is scheduled to meet on Dec. 27 to discuss the zoning of the property.

NORTH STATES INDUSTRIES North States Industries has been interested in a lot of land off Ellis Avenue just north of their current property at 23148 Ellis Ave. in Siren. The lot is 17 acres and North States is only interested in nine of those acres.

The Village had the 17-acre lot assessed at $136,200 for commercial use. Alden did not know how that

could change if it was assessed for manufacturing use, but said the taxes on the commercial use would be around $2,800 a year.

Representatives from North States said they are interested in possibly building on the land in the next couple of years. They do not have any immediate plans to build in the Village.

Alden added that the lot, which is positioned between Ellis Avenue and the Gandy Dancer Trail, is technically wetlands. He advised them to ask the Department of Natural Resources about building on the lot.

“The DNR has strict guidelines for wetlands and I think you should seriously consider checking with them before moving forward,” Alden advised.

IN OTHER ITEMS: The board set their 2019 Caucus for Jan. 10. and it will take place right before the January regular board meeting. President Dave Alden and board members Todd Shultz, Dave Doty, Rick Engstrom and Jan Hunter are all up for re-election.

MADISON—The Progressive is looking for donations as the magazine founded by Wisconsin U.S. Sen. Robert “Fighting Bob” La Follette nears its 110th birthday.

Editor Bill Lueders says he wants to raise $110,000 to “get our head above water.” Lueders donated $10,000 of his own money to kick off fundraising, and hopes to prompt 10 other people around the country to do the same, The Capital Times reported Sunday.

“That will go a long way toward erasing our debt and putting us on firmer financial footing so we’re not just getting by, we’re able to take a breath,” said Lueders, who was promoted from The Progressive’s managing editor to editor in October.

Donations to The Progressive can be made online. Lueders said he also would love to have an endowment for the Madison-based magazine, which turns 110 in January, but acknowledges that is “quite the dream from where we are.”

La Follette, a political reformer, founded the magazine in 1909, while serving as a U.S. senator. The Progressive is a nonprofit publishing a bimonthly magazine and online news. It also runs The Progressive Media Project and the Public School Shakedown project .

“We are, not for the first time and perhaps not the last, in critical need of a cash infusion. The magazine is tens of thousands of dollars in debt; our income is not keeping up with our outgo. It’s serious,” an editor’s note in a recent issue of The Progressive said.

A veteran journalist, Lueders said his $10,000 donation is about half of his total savings and checking. But Lueders said the magazine’s journalism is vital, and he pointed to a number of full-length original reporting pieces included in The Progressive.

“We’re not just surfing the web and spewing opinions. We’re doing reporting on things that are happening, and we’re trying to shine a light on the good work that people of conscience are doing all around the country,” Lueders said.

DECEMBER 12, 2018

Everyone was born here I was sitting in a meeting last week when Siren Village President Dave Alden said, “Well, y’know, this isn’t that town in Minnesota, this is Siren, Wisconsin. Everyone in this room was born and grew up here.”

At that point, I sort of slumped into my chair knowing that I did not fit that description and everyone at the meeting knows I’m an outsider.

When I moved to Burnett County people told me many things about the community like “don’t talk about anyone up here, because you’ll end up talking to that person’s nephew or their cousin.”

I’m not used to living in a small town and seeing the same people over and over again. I’m used to seeing strangers all the time, Sentinel which has many benefits.

I was also told, “Jonathan, I’ve Editor lived here for 20-some years, Jonathan Richie raised my kids here and will probably retire here. People still see me as an outsider.”

(At that point I’d been living up here for about two weeks and the only thing that came to mind was The Ramones song - “Outsider” from the album Subterranean Jungle. It’s a pretty good album from one of the founding groups of punk rock trying to navigate through the early 1980s.)

He continued by saying, “Just remember you’ll always be an outsider until everyone you know is dead. That’s just the way it is up here.”

Aside from the morbidness of the comment (even though it was meant more like sarcasm than morbidness), it seems he was probably correct.

I’m not going to question someone with 20 years of experience.

But even though this isn’t my hometown people have been welcoming and nice over the last several months. It’s that midwest nice stuff when all people say hi to each other and say excuse me when they bump into each other.

I doubt I’ll ever be a native, but I am enjoying getting to know people. Eventually, I will remember the names AND the faces of folks.

The Packers finally heeded my advice and got rid of head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy, who was once a stranger in his job, took out full page ads in several large newspapers thanking Packer fans for making him and his family feel welcome.

So now the team is in this weird interim coaching phase with Joe Philbin, who once dressed up as a pilgrim (yes, the kind with the belt buckle hat) to motivate the Packers when he was the offensive coordinator before a Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions.

The team came out and forcibly said that my beloved Aaron Rodgers is not going to make the final decision. That doesn’t make any sense to me. He is the greatest quarterback of all time and possibly the greatest Packer since Reggie White.

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.

Do we really need a new Grinch?

How is your Christmas shopping going? Done? Started? Not a clue?

I think I would fall in the “started” category. Working on it, hope to get done soon.

I have been noticing that the old reliable holiday movies and specials are making the rounds, bringing some old friends back for a visit while new entries try to gain a fan base.

From the I have already Publisher’s enjoyed a few old Desk favorites – “A Christmas Carol,” Tom Stangl the 1938 version d “Th A and “The Sh Shop Around the Corner.” I will hold off on “A Christmas Story” until a bit later on this month. Plenty of time to “shoot my eye out.”

A classic that I don’t see as often since my children have grown is “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” based on the Dr. Seuss book of the same name. The original animated special, which aired for the first time when I was five years old, remains, in my opinion, as a true classic, something that doesn’t need to be remade.

The animation by Chuck Jones, Boris Karloff as the voice of the Grinch and even the very Dr. Seuss like songs (Seuss wrote them,

by the way) all combine into a very rich holiday tapestry. “A Christmas Carol” for preschoolers, if you will.

If you are among the small minority on the planet unfamiliar with the Grinch, here’s the plot: the bitter Grinch (heart two sizes too small) hates the noise and fuss the Whos, who live in the valley below, make about Christmas. He concocts a plan to dress like Santa and steal everything and anything related to Christmas to keep it from coming. Successful in his thievery, he discovers that Christmas arrives, even without gifts.

After a colossal change of heart, the Grinch brings the gifts and celebrates Christmas with the Whos.

Ebenezer Scrooge would be proud of the reclamation of the Grinch.

The Grinch was a holiday staple of the three network broadcast television networks and I imagine some of you know the words to “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and even sing along every year.

The older I become, the less tolerance I have for the entertainment industry’s need to do remakes, reboots or reimaginings.

The success of the Grinch has brought about several different incarnations of the story. First was a Broadway show that came out in 1998. Not willing to leave well enough alone, a live action version of the Grinch came out in 2000.

Directed by Ron Howard and starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch, the movie was a success and is part of some channels’ holiday movie rotation. I respect both Howard and Carrey, but feel the film isn’t the same as the animated classic.

Yet another version of the Grinch is in movie theaters now. Simply entitled “The Grinch,” a new feature from Illumination Entertainment is a 3D animated version of the story. Illumination is the studio that brought the Minions into pop culture. Benedict Cumberbatch provides the voice of the Grinch.

While the technology is now available to make a 3D version of the Grinch, I once again question why we need to do this story again.

I realize that nearly every book reader will say that their version of the story in their head is better than anything Hollywood can concoct and I will grant that the 1951, 1984 and 1999 versions of “A Christmas Carol” each have their own merit, but please just leave the Grinch be!

The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR F t F Forts Folle ll A Avoine i Christmas Gratitude Dear Editor, On behalf of the Burnett County Historical Society and as coordinator of “Christmas at The Forts”; I want to extend my deepest appreciation for all the volunteers who gave their time, talents, and cheerfulness to make the 2018 “Christmas at The Forts” another huge success. A special thankyou goes out to Jim & Kathy Helland and Jim & Chris Petrangelo who listened to all the children share their wishes with them for Christmas morning. I want to extend heartfelt appreciation to the Danbury, Webster and Siren Volunteer Fire Departments who generously donated three gorgeous, decorated Christmas trees.

They were given to Interfaith Caregivers for distribution to three, needy, Burnett County families.

On Saturday, December 8; we had a special celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Forts Folle Avoine’s Visitor’s Center (formerly, the Snowbank Lodge in Ely, MN).

To our delight, the Burnett County 4-H Clubs: Orange, Jolly H, Wood Creek and Wood River Beavers, made beautifully detailed replicas of the Visitor Center – some in the fashion of “gingerbread” houses. Also, a special thank-you to Ed Peterson (who, in 1985-89, was one of the men who worked on reconstruction of the Visitor Center) who was on hand to greet and answer questions regarding our historical Visitor Center.

My sincere gratitude goes out to the many Webster High School students who worked bussing tables, assisting little ones in our Elves Store, helping Mr. & Mrs. Claus and performing live music – some even assisted a real, live snowman, all with such positive, cheerful attitudes.

I especially want to extend my sincerest gratitude to all the families who attended “Christmas at The Forts”.

We hope there was “Frosty Fun for Everyone”.

A Merry Christmas to All! Nancy Meindel

No reason was given in this “no need for negotiation” letter. As residents of the region that has been served, we are saddened and disappointed by this action.

Several years ago, Mr. Lyn Sahr, founder and Executive Director of Ruby’s Pantry, publicly described a “pocket of poverty” near Danbury and how he was helping. For the past ten years, over one hundred family-units from this region regularly come to the site. The “pocket” is these people who depend on this monthly food distribution.

Because of its size and resources, the mission and organization of Ruby’s Pantry makes it possible to make food available to families in need in communities throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. Danbury has been fortunate to be one of the distribution sites. Our church has been privileged to provide the local leadership and to join with other community members who volunteer to distribute the food.

The growth and the extent of Ruby’s faith-based mission and ministry is impressive.

With them, we have been blessed to join as the heart and hands of Jesus who taught the value of serving “the least” among us. We recognize the size of the Danbury site as one of “the least” which may make it not economically feasible to serve.

If this is the reason for their decision, we question the values of Ruby’s that celebrates impressive growth but ignores or chooses to leave out “the least.”

Each month, our members who volunteer share countless stories of people who express their need and their gratitude at the amount and quality of food received.

For most of them, to have to find sources farther from home will be an additional hardship that should not be necessary.

Arne Enslin, Secretary Administrative Council Danbury United Methodist Church

December is a time of “entertaining” or that’s at least what we say. If I’m honest, I don’t want to have people over to “entertain” them. I want them to come over to enjoy good food and conversation with me and my family.

Entertaining puts too much pressure on me.

I’m more of an improvisationWild Chow al host. Most entertaining Lisa Erickson at my house involves calling up friends or family and saying something like, “Hey, what are you doing tomorrow night?

Want to come over and make pizza together?”

When I’m in entertaining mode, I like to literally cook with people. That’s how a food writer/recipe tester/former chef entertains. I want everyone in the kitchen cooking with me, or at least joining me with their favorite drink while I prepare the meal.

I don’t need to dress up or slave in the kitchen for days over a fancy 7-course meal.

There are no frilly aprons that match my dresses. A good friend likes to hire a professional chef to cook dinner for her holiday parties. The chef is the entertainment. Most of us do not have the funds or don’t know a professional chef; we’re the ones

Two Wisconsin Marines stand guard over late president

APPLETON—An Appleton man is charged with posing as a doctor.

Kyle Larsen, 32, was charged Wednesday with 18 counts, including theft, practicing medicine without a license and delivering a prescription drug.

According to the complaint, Larsen presented himself to patients as Dr. Kyle Ellis at his practice, Medical Psychology of Wisconsin LLC. Prosecutors allege Larsen gave Ritalin and Amoxicillin to patients without a prescription.

In one case, he allegedly gave a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia a shot, which Larsen later said was a flu shot.

Larsen told investigators he was a licensed practical nurse but lost his job. He was working as a janitor and had the idea to start a medical practice with a doctor, but had difficulty getting started.

Larsen is being held on $200,000 bond.

MILWAUKEE—Two Marines from southeastern Wisconsin are among military members standing guard over the casket of former President George H.W. Bush as he lies in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

Lance Corporal Casey Schuetz is a 2017 Brookfield Central High School graduate. His family says photos and video of Casey standing guard in the rotunda is something they’ll never forget. His father, Bruce Schuetz, says his son’s alma mater tweeted out its support for Casey.

WITI-TV reports Schuetz completed boot camp in San Diego where he met Racine native Oscar Selbera, who is also standing guard over the late president at the Capitol.

The two are among 10 Marines assisting other military members in keeping watch at the Capitol.

Here are a few things you can do to ensure your pizza party is a huge success.

Chop all ingredients ahead of time. I invested in a tray with many sections. Doing so keeps all the toppings in one spot.

Make the dough a day ahead.

Make a dough rolling station, sauce and cheese station, and a topping station. I also make a list of ingredients for some fun pizza ideas like taco or French style pizza. I post them on the wall or on an easel.

Ask people to bring drinks and a plate of cookies to pass.

This way you’ll have a fun selection of drinks and treats.

Remember to turn on your furnace’s fan or turn on a couple fans and crack a window.

Multiple times during the year we have a pizza party, but in the winter sometimes the smoke from a misshapen pizza fills the house with smoke and sets off the fire alarm.

In a medium-sized bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the water, and let stand for 3 to 5 minutes until the yeast has dissolved. Add the flour and salt. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes.

Knead the dough until it forms a smooth, slightly tacky ball that springs back.

Lightly coat the inside of a large bowl and the dough with olive oil. Place dough in bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes. Refrigerate dough until ready to use— up to 3 days.

Preheat oven to 450°F. Remove dough from fridge and let rest for 30 minutes.

Divide dough into two equal pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, stretch or roll the dough into a thin, 12-inch round on parchment paper. Transfer dough to baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup sauce onto dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of cheese and other toppings; bake pizza for 8 to 12 minutes or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.

Three companies pitch referendum ideas to school board JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN–– On Monday night the Siren school board held another special meeting. This time they heard pitches from three companies on how they would go forward with the school’s proposed set of referendum questions. The proposed referendums are slated to not exceed $6 million and will be on the April 4 general election ballot in the spring.

Last week the board approved two referendum resolutions. The first referendum is for improvements to the school building and is set not to exceed $4 million. The second referendum is centered around the football field and track facilities which was voted not to exceed $2 million.

The building improvements and upgrades that are being proposed will modernize the school. It will include upgraded FACS Labs and science classrooms, as well as upgrading bathrooms and possibly renovating entrances to the school to make them more secure.

The board’s vice president, Mark Pettis, has said the football field needs to be addressed before a player gets seriously hurt. The field often has sink-

holes appear. John Tinman was at the meeting and he said the most recent sinkhole is on the 20-yard line of the field.

Siren Athletic Director, Ryan Karsten, said last week that the best solution would be relocating the field and placing it at a 45-degree angle on the school’s northwest corner.

There it would be positioned between wetlands and the school. It would also mean the playground would have to be relocated.

Kraus-Anderson, based in Minneapolis, presented first.

They explained how they would go about renovating the classrooms and adding secure entrances to the building.

These secured entrances allow a guest to enter the school through a contained vestibule and then go straight into the office.

Kraus-Anderson said they did not look into moving the football field, but instead suggested doing an in-depth soil study and then figuring out how their engineers would want to move forward.

Rettler Corporation was the second to present. They are only looking at working on the football field and track facilities. They have worked on the site before with investors on

John Kneer, President of Rettler Corporation, explained their vision for the football field moving to behind the Northeast corner of the school.

the possibility of making this facility a regional one so Siren can hold larger events.

Their design included bleachers on one side of the field, an astroturf field and a nine-lane track.

The initial information Rettler brought to the board was over the $2 million mark, but they said it could be dialed back. The design included 1,000 seats in the grandstand which could be scaled back or eliminated to fit within the budget

the board laid out.

The final presenters of the evening were from Unesco.

They brought similar ideas on the school as Kraus-Anderson but said they did not have enough information to address the football field. They said they were willing to bring in Rettler Corporation on the project because of their background knowledge of the field and track.

Each company presented their own ideas on what would

be best for the school and the sports area, but said they are willing to work with the board and the school staff for the best outcome of the referendum.

The board is scheduled to make a decision on which contractor they would like to hire for the referendums at the regular board meeting on Dec. 17.

Village Board discuss insurance and ordinances JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG–– The Grantsburg Village Board discussed health insurance for village employees at their December meeting. The board also approved ATV/UTV traffic to all roads with a few exceptions.

Village Clerk Patty Bjorklund explained that all streets in the village will be open to ATV/UTV traffic expect for Madison Avenue between Pine Street and Oak Street. Also, from Roberts Street to the schools and Johnson Street to Highway 70 will remain closed to ATV/UTV traffic.

Bjorklund said that the village will discuss the health insurance options with village employees and will discuss

it more at the January meeting.

Also on the docket for the January meeting is the property at 216 N. Oak Street. The village is waiting to see if the County transfers the property back to the village.

The board also made a few changes to their ordinances regarding the purchase or possession of tobacco and vapor products by minors. This proactive move was made to get out in front of minors having access to vaping products.

There was also a discussion about hiring a new administrative assistant for the Police department. That conversation led to the board approving the hiring and will publish the posting later this week.

Grantsburg’s Holiday Indulgence this weekend

The Grantsburg High School Music Department is planning to repeat an event that has become a holiday tradition. The annual Christmas concert will be presented in the style of dinner theater, with almost 2 hours of music and eating available to ticket holders. Performances are Saturday, Dec. 15, and Sunday, Dec. 16. The event is held at the high school, and the music department is transforming the gym into a festive performance site.

Ticket-holders will be seated at tables to eat and listen to the students perform a wide variety of Holiday music. The groups focus on traditional favorites of the season, but will also perform contemporary holiday music. A full “holiday” meal will be served, consisting of roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetable, salad bar, and ice cream sundaes. In addition to the great music, audience members will be visited by Santa Claus! This will be an event to remember.

Because the concert-goers will be seated at tables, a reservation is recommended for the Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon performances.

There are better/more seats available for the Sunday performance at this time. Anyone interested can call Grantsburg HS (463-5165, extension #202) to place a reservation. Seating starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 3 p.m. on Sunday. There will be live music performances starting at that time, with the large group performances starting about 30 minutes later.

This performance has been a big hit with audience and performers the last eleven years, with people saying it really brings them into the holiday mood. It is also a performance fundraiser for the music department, with the money raised going to help with trip expenses.

We appreciate our readers!

Grantsburg School District Placed on College Board’s District Honor Roll for Significant Gains in Student Access and Success Grantsburg—Grantsburg School District is one of 373 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 9th Annual AP District Honor Roll. To be included on the 9th Annual Honor Roll, Grantsburg School District had to, since 2016, increase the number of students participating in AP while also increasing or maintaining the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher.

Reaching these goals shows that this district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are ready for AP. Grantsburg School District offers advanced placement courses both in classrooms and online. District Superintendent, Dr. Joni Burgin states that the District is honored that students and staff earned this elite award. Our advanced placement teachers expertly

maximize instructional time to ensure that students master course material for the AP exams. Teachers recruit students for AP classes and remove barriers to their participation.

National data from 2018 show that among American Indian/ Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students with a high degree of readiness for AP, only about half are participating. The first step to getting more of these students to participate is to give them access. Courses must be made available, gatekeeping must stop, and doors must be equitably opened. Grantsburg School District is committed to expanding the availability of AP courses among prepared and motivated students of all backgrounds.

“Success in Advanced Placement is a combination of students’ own motivation and

the opportunities educators provide for them,” said Trevor Packer, senior vice president of AP and Instruction at the College Board. “I’m inspired by the teachers and administrators in this district who have worked to clear a path for more students of all backgrounds to earn college credit during high school.”

Helping more students learn at a higher level and earn higher AP scores is an objective of all members of the AP community, from AP teachers to district and school administrators to college professors. Many districts are experimenting with initiatives and strategies to see how they can expand access and improve student performance at the same time.

In 2018, more than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world received AP scores for college credit, advanced placement, or both, and/or consideration in the admissions

process. Inclusion in the 9th Annual AP District Honor Roll is based on a review of three years of AP data, from 2016 to 2018, looking across 38 AP Exams, including world language and culture. The following criteria were used.

Districts must: • Increase participation/access to AP by at least 4 percent in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts, and at least 11 percent in small districts; • Increased or maintained the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/ African American, Hispanic/ Latino, and Native Hawaiian/ Other Pacific Islander students taking exams and increased or maintained the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students scoring 3+

on at least one AP Exam; and • Improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the 2018 percentage of students scoring a 3 or higher to the 2016 percentage, unless the district has already attained a performance level at which more than 70 percent of its AP students earn a 3 or higher.

When these outcomes have been achieved among an AP student population in which 30 percent or more are underrepresented minority students (American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander) and/or 30 percent or more are low-income students (students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), a symbol has been affixed to the district name to highlight this work.

Signs of the Season: Holiday Hams and Shipping Scams MADISON – Online holiday shopping brings a flood of emails to your inbox: purchase confirmations, shipping updates, promotional offers, requests for product reviews, and more.

Amongst these messages, scammers can sneak malware-laden spam emails masked as shipping or delivery alerts. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection warns consumers to be on the lookout for phony shipping emails and to avoid clicking links or opening attachments in these messages.

“Fake shipping emails are not exclusive to the holidays, but the volume of shopping-related messages during this season opens opportunities for these scams,” said Michelle Reinen, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Scammers send these emails randomly to as many addresses as possible, so even consumers who don’t shop online need to be on the lookout.”

Watch out for emails or texts that warn you about a problem with a delivery, that request account information for security purposes, or that ask you to open an attached “shipment label” in order to claim a package from a local office.

Scammers often use the names, logos and color schemes of major shipping companies and retailers to add legitimacy to their messages, and they may also spoof the company’s web address (URL) in the sender’s email address.

In actuality, there is no product waiting for delivery, and the alarming language in these emails is intended to make recipients act quickly without considering consequences. By clicking on a link in the email, a recipient risks downloading malware or handing over personal information

to the scammers. If you receive a similar email, delete it and do not click any links.

If you are expecting a shipment that may be delayed, contact the shipper directly to inquire.

Some e-commerce companies offer package tracking features right on their websites.

Here are some common elements to look for in fake shipping emails: • Poor grammar and spelling errors in emails that claim to come from major businesses. If the message is sloppy, it likely did not come from a legitimate company.

• Sender addresses that don’t match the URL for the company that supposedly sent the email. For example, the “From:” line in a fake FedEx email gave an Italian email address for the sender, not a fedex.com address (see example on next page).

• Shipment emails that lack specifics about the sender or the package’s supposed contents.

• Emails asking you to open an attachment in order to review an order. Never open an attachment in an unsolicited or questionable email.

• Emails containing threats that a package will be returned to the sender and that you will be charged a fee for not responding to the message.

For additional information or to file a complaint, visit the Consumer Protection Bureau at datcp.wi.gov, call the Consumer Protection Hotline at 800-422-7128 or send an e-mail to datcphotline@wi.gov.

Polk Co. man blows hand off in explosion Dec. 4, at 8:15 p.m. the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center received a call of a 50 year old male, Eric Kenneth Schueller, who received an injury to his hand. It was reported that Schueller had “blown his hand off” while possibly making explosives.

Upon arrival to the rural Sterling Township residence, located at 2776 Evergreen Avenue, St Croix Falls, Deputies found Schueller with injuries consistent with the information they had been given.

The male had serious/life threatening injuries to his hand and the injuries appeared to be consistent with the manner of explosive contact. Schueller also appeared to have burns to other parts of his body.

Due to the seriousness of the injuries, Cushing Fire and First Responders were called to the scene. It was determined to summon Life Link air ambulance to report directly to the scene.

Schueller was later flown to the Regions Hospital for

care for his injuries. Schueller’s present medical condition remains unknown.

During the response, Deputies identified chemicals inside the residence which were suspicious. After securing the residence and surrounding area, the Marathon - Oneida County Bomb Squad was requested to assist in containing the explosives. Bomb technicians stated there were chemicals located inside and outside of the residence that alone were stable, however when mixed together, would produce explosive material. Bomb technicians collected the chemicals and processed the scene.

Assisting with incident were the Cushing Fire and First Responders, the Lakes Area Ambulance, the Life Link air ambulance the Marathon – Oneida County Bomb Squad, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This matter will be further investigated by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and assisting agencies.

Fight the Flu ANNA TREAGUE, RN BURNETT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH

The flu, also known as influenza is a seasonal contagious respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus. Typically the influenza season starts in mid fall and ends mid to late spring. Influenza is spread by droplets of moisture. When someone with influenza sneezes, coughs or talks the droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people nearby, ultimately spreading it to them.

Influenza can be serious for people at high risk of complications associated with influenza such as pregnant women, older adults and young children as well as those with chronic medical conditions.

The Center for Disease Control recommends everyone ages 6 months and older to get a flu vaccine.

The best ways to avoid getting and spreading the flu is to: • Get the flu vaccine. The vaccine may help to lessen the duration and the severity of symptoms if you get the flu.

• Stay home if you are sick. Take a break from daily errands and rest, don’t venture out unless needed. If you have to venture out wear a mask.

• See your doctor as soon as you are experiencing signs and symptoms. If you can catch influenza in the early stages and be treated with an antiviral medication, you can potentially shorten the duration and the severity of the illness.

• Wash your hands and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.

We all want to stay healthy for the holiday season so please do what you can to avoid getting and spreading the flu.

Three regional master plans in northwest Wisconsin available for public review ASHLAND––Three regional master plans covering the Northwest Sands, Northwest Lowlands, and Superior Coastal Plain property planning regions are now available for public review and comment through Jan. 6, 2019. The regions primarily consist of portions of Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, Burnett, and Washburn counties with small portions in Polk, Iron and Sawyer counties.

The popular Copper Falls, Big Bay, Pattison, and Amnicon Falls state parks are included in the Superior Coastal Plain regional plan. Numerous properties with fishing and hunting opportunities, such as the Clam River Fishery Area and Beaver Brook Wildlife Area have management updates described in the Northwest Sands regional plan.

The draft regional master plans, including a plan overview, background materials and maps, are available through the DNR property planning web page. Visit the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, and search keywords “property planning” and select “Superior Coastal Plain” or “Northwest Sands” or “Northwest Lowlands” on the map.

Master plans establish the level and type of resource management and public use allowed on DNR managed properties. Highlights of the three proposed regional plans include: • Enhancement to this regional ecotourism corridor through recreational opportunities that include: camping, waterfall viewing, multiple trail uses, hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife viewing; • Opportunities for development of additional North Country National Scenic Trail segments.

Mountain biking and other trail-based opportunities are also expanded; • Improved public access to fishery areas; • Opportunities to enjoy the unique scenery of the Lake Superior coast, the important interior rivers and prominent wetlands of the region;

•

Habitat management to protect the Lake Superior salmonid fisheries, one of the state’s best cold-water fisheries, and protect the large number of migratory birds and other wildlife, including species that depend on Lake Superior’s wetland coastal communities; Habitat management to protect interior wildlife and fishery areas by keeping intact the ecology of the pine-oak barrens, dry forests, wetlands, inland lakes and important river corridors.

Two public open house meetings will be held in mid-December from 5-7 p.m.: • Monday, Dec. 17, Spooner at DNR Service Center, 810 W Maple St. • Tuesday, Dec. 18, Ashland at Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center, 29270 County Highway G A presentation will take place from 5:30 - 5:45 at both meetings Attendees will have an opportunity to review copies of the draft master plans, discuss the plans with department staff, and submit comments.

Comments may also be submitted online through a form found on the DNR master planning web page - dnr.wi.gov; search keyword “property planning,” then select the region of interest on the map. Additionally, comments may be sent to Phil Rynish, by mail at Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources, 101 S. Webster Street - LF/6 Madison WI 53707, via email at Phillip.Rynish@wisconsin.gov Draft plans and online background materials may also be viewed at the following locations: • Spooner DNR Service Center • Superior DNR Service Center • Ashland DNR Service Center Comments will be accepted through Jan. 6, 2019.

The draft plans will be revised as needed and approved by the Natural Resources Board at a future meeting.

DATCP confirms Chronic Wasting Disease at depopulated Washington County deer farm MADISON––Based on test results from the National Veterinary Services Laboratory, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) confirms that 11 additional animals from a deer farm in Washington County tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD).

On November 15, a team comprised of DATCP and U.S. Department of Agriculture-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service staff coordinated the humane depopulation of the farm’s remaining whitetail deer and elk.

Since the farm’s quarantine in March, CWD testing was completed for 44 white-tailed deer and 16 elk. The deer farm owner will receive a state indemnity payment after verification of completing

cleaning and disinfecting requirements. State law provides for the authority for an indemnity payment to a livestock owner for animals condemned due to a contagious or infectious disease.

CWD is a fatal disease of deer, elk, and moose caused by an infectious protein called a prion

that affects the animal’s brain. Testing for CWD can only be performed after the animal’s death.

For more information about CWD visit DATCP’s website. DATCP regulates deer farms for registration, recordkeeping, disease testing, movement, and permit requirements. To learn

more about deer farm regulations in Wisconsin, visit DATCP’s farmraised deer program. The Department of Natural Resources also provides resources for CWD and monitors the state’s wild white-tailed deer for CWD.

This week, HSBC introduces two more feline siblings who have new homes at the top of their holiday wish list!

Betsy and Bean are one-year-old, medium-haired, brown tabby girls. They b b both have amber eyes and a are around seven pounds.

B Betsy is a slightly lighter m mix of grey and brown, w while Bean’s fur sports d darker coloring. Both y young ladies are friendlly, easy-going, and get a along with other cats and c children. Of the two, Bean iis a little more extrovertBetsy ed and will come over to seek out affection. Betsy takes a short time to get to know you, but once she does, she enjoys being cuddlee. Like Oscar and Mayer, it is not a requirement that these sisters share a home, but HSBC would be happy to arrange multiple adoptions!

Wondering how the renovations are coming at the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption & Education Center? Contractors are busy working to build a warm, sturdy home for the HSBC residents. Last week, solar panels were installed outside to help provide for the Center’s Bean power needs. Follow the progress on their Facebook page, and if you would like to donate toward the capital improvements, you can find out how on HSBC’s website.

Have some free time in the afternoons? Spend a couple of hours taking in a movie with one of our shelter residents! HSBC’s meet room is outfitted with a couch, comfy chair, TV and a few DVDs. All that is missing is you and one of the shelter’s furry friends. Watching a movie with a dog (or cat) gives them a break from the bustle of the kennel area and is a great way to provide them with practice on house manners. Movie time is available during public hours; call HSBC to reserve your spot.

Dr. Heather Marks

At River Place Dental, we understand that cost is often why someone doesn’t get their teeth fixed. To help make your dental care more affordable and budget friendly, we offer two great financing options: Care Credit and Wells Fargo Health Advantage. Both are credit cards that have competitive interest rates that allow healthcare costs to be paid over several months or years, not all at one time. They also offer 0% financing for up to 12 months. Please call River Place Dental to learn more about how these financing options may work for you. &%(% G^kZg EaVXZ 9g^kZ ED 7dm &%+! 6bZgn! L> *)%%& E]dcZ ,&*"'+-"'&%( lll#g^kZg"eaVXZ"YZciVa#Xdb

Q. What causes my skin to dry out in

do with this money? Should you invest it or pay Josh Prusinski, CFP® off debts?

Financial Advisor If your cash flow is strong, you might want to invest the extra money. But if you are just getting by, possibly due to high-interest loans, you might be better off reducing your debt load.

For the future, you might be able to help control your debts by building an emergency fund, with the money held in a liquid account, to pay for unexpected costs.

You’ll also want to evaluate which debts to tackle first. Instead of making extra mortgage payments, you might want to pay down high-rate consumer loans whose interest cannot be deducted from your taxes.

If you can invest your extra money, look for timely opportunities. For instance, you have until April 15, 2019, to fully fund your IRA for the 2018 tax year.

When you do get a bonus or tax refund, think carefully about what to do with the money. It will be time well spent.

Member SIPC *This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Almost all home insurance companies will ask questions on their application about pets and animals.

The reason for this is because the personal liability coverage provided by most homeowners policies will pay for injuries caused to others by your pets. Dog bites in particular are a major concern for insurance companies. In 2015 home insurance policies paid over $570 million on over 15,000 dog bite claims nationwide. No matter what type of animal you keep at your home, dogs, cats, horses, etc., make sure you discuss coverage with your agent to make sure you’re protected if your family pet has a bad day.

Dry skin is especially common in the winter Christina Markovitz, NP months. When the humidity level outside drops and the air outside is cold and dry, the water in your skin evaporates more quickly making your skin feel dry and tight. Remember to cover up your skin when you are outside, regularly apply moisturizing lotion, and stay hydrated. Furthermore, dry indoor air not only dries out your skin, but it also leads to dry, chapped lips, dry noses (nosebleeds), and dry throat (hoarseness, sore throat). Using a humidifier at night will replace the moisture in the air that gets sucked out by dry indoor heat.

The humidifier helps hydrate dry skin and soothes chapped lips, dry throat, and nasal passages.

should I wait for the spring?

As the cold weather might not motivate you to Len Chute want to move, buyers are still actively looking for properties right now. Typically we find when the inventory is low, and there are less choices for buyers, you may get a maximum price on your property, unlike in the spring when the market gets flooded with listings and there is more competition.

Vacant land tends to increase in sales this time of year as people start receiving tax returns and are tired of the long winter. Many buyers start looking for a get-away property for recreation to pull the camper to or build a cabin on.

If you’re thinking of selling, it’s a great time to get a Market Analysis from your local Realtor to educate you where the market is, and what your property is worth at the current time....and “IT’S FREE”!

Bottom line: Being early is better than missing the wave!

INTRODUCTION AND PRESENTATION BY SHERIFF CANDIDATES FOR THE NOVEMBER 6, 2018, GENERAL ELECTION – CHRISTOPHER SYBERS AND TRACY FINCH Sheriff candidates for the November 6, 2018, Sheriff’s race, Republican Christopher Sybers and Independent Tracy Finch addressed the board and answered questions.

PRESENTATION – WISCONSIN’S CHILD WELFARE CRISIS – HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR ALLISON FERN Health and Human Services Director Allison Fern presented a PowerPoint on Wisconsin’s child welfare crisis. Ms. Fern shared information from a document compiled by Director Jason Witt of LaCrosse County. The drug abuse within Burnett County is the main cause for the huge increase in the child protective and placement cases and costs. These include treatment centers, foster homes and group homes. We have a 936 percent increase from 2013 to 2017. Ms. Fern noted the department, in order to do the work they need to do, need more support.

RESOLUTION 2018-25 REQUESTING INCREASED FUNDING AND OVERSIGHT REFORMS FOR WISCONSIN’S CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES SYSTEM WHEREAS, the Wisconsin child welfare system is county-operated and state-supervised, except Milwaukee County, where the system is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF), Division of Milwaukee Child Protective Services (DMCPS); and WHEREAS, DCF provides insufficient funding to counties for the provision of child abuse and neglect services including prevention, investigation, treatment, and out-of-home placement costs, though the state has primary responsibility for compliance with federal requirements and shares liability for ensuring the system is meeting its obligations to children and families in all 72 counties; and WHEREAS, in recent years the state of Wisconsin added numerous mandates and practice expectations which increased county child protective services (CPS) workload and costs; and WHEREAS, the opioid and methamphetamine epidemics have brought Wisconsin’s child welfare system to a point of crisis, with increasing concern about the system’s ability to meet its obligations to children and families; and WHEREAS, the capacity for counties to continue to bear the lion’s share of financial responsibility to address this crisis has been exhausted, as rising county contributions to the CPS system have far outpaced increases to the DCF Children and Family Aids allocation and counties have used reserve funding to cover CPS expenses and increase staffing; and WHEREAS, maintaining sufficient resources for Wisconsin’s child welfare system is critical to secure the safety and future of our most vulnerable children; and WHEREAS, without a proportional increase in the DCF Children and Family Services allocation, the CPS system has been stressed for over a decade, causing caseloads for CPS workers to grow to unreasonable levels, contributing to high levels of staff turnover in some counties and an overrun of out-of-home care costs above what counties can sustain within available resources; and WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s CPS system leaves significant gaps in state-level oversight for all counties except Milwaukee County, including the absence of caseload standards, no process for regular legislative evaluation and prioritization of CPS needs and the absence of a legislative committee that

provides regular policy guidance concerning CPS system issues such as adequate funding, performance, cost sharing and long-term stability; and WHEREAS, along with DMCPS, all eleven of Wisconsin’s peer states with county-administered CPS systems have either adopted caseload standards for CPS caseworkers, completed thorough workload studies as a basis of determining funding needs, or otherwise have made significant recommendations related to keeping CPS workloads manageable; and WHEREAS, the children within Wisconsin’s CPS system are too important to allow the current level of under resourcing, oversight gaps and, disparity of attention, while shifting the burden to property taxpayers.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Burnett County Board of Supervisors does hereby request that the state of Wisconsin increase the Children and Family Aids Allocation to counties in the 2019-21 state biennial budget by $30 million annually in order to cover a greater share of out-of-home care costs and increase staffing levels based on the caseload standards developed by the Wisconsin County Human Services Association (WCHSA) so Wisconsin’s CPS system can meet its obligations; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Wisconsin Counties Association urges the state of Wisconsin to close critical oversight gaps by creating legislative mechanisms to review the CPS resource needs of all counties as part of the biennial budget process and ensure an appropriate committee provide ongoing policy guidance to respond to emerging CPS trends and ongoing system needs; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to Governor Scott Walker, Department of Children and Families Secretary Eloise Anderson, Department of Administration Secretary Ellen Nowak, area legislators, and the Wisconsin Counties Association.

Chairman Taylor presented the resolution sponsored by the Health and Community Services Committee. Motion to approve Resolution 2018-25 Requesting Increased Funding and Oversight Reforms for Wisconsin’s Child Protective Services System was made by Supervisor Lund, seconded by Supervisor Olson. Motion to amend the date the resolution was approved at Health and Community Services Committee to October 9, instead of 19, on line 25 was made by Supervisor Byrne, seconded by Supervisor Olson. Amendment carried, voice vote. Original Motion with Motion carried, voice vote.

RESOLUTION 2018-26 APPROVAL TO OPEN COUNTY ROADS TO ATV/UTV USE WHEREAS, tourism is important to the economic livelihood of Burnett County and the use of All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs) supports and promotes tourism in Burnett County; and WHEREAS, in an effort to support the use of ATV/UTVs within Burnett County, the county Forestry Department has developed and maintains ATV/UTV trails and some towns within Burnett County have established ATV/UTV routes on their town roads; and WHEREAS, these ATV/UTV trails and ATV/UTV routes occasionally dead end against county highways causing a breach in the ATV/UTV Trail/Route system and those breaches in the ATV/UTV Trail/Route system may be overcome by allowing the use of highways as connectors; and WHEREAS, the State of Wisconsin allows counties to open ATV/UTV routes on county highways and to create ordinances regulating those routes through Wisconsin Statutes §23.33(8)(b) and §23.33(11)(am) respectively; and WHEREAS, the Burnett County Highway Commissioner has inspected all county highways and found only two sections of county road not recommended for ATV/UTV use; and WHEREAS, the two sections not approved for ATV/UTV use are County Trunk Highway (CTH) A from State Highway 35 to Thompson Road and CTH O from Jimmy Carter Road to the St. Croix River.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the Burnett County Board of Supervisors approves opening all county highways with the exception of the two above named sections; and FUTHER BE RESOLVED, THAT the Burnett County Board of Supervisors directs the County Clerk to forward the approved resolution to the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department, Wisconsin State Patrol, the Clerk of Circuit Court, all Burnett County Municipalities and all Wisconsin County Clerks.

Chairman Taylor presented the resolution 2018-26 Approval to Open County Roads to ATV/UTV Use sponsored by the Infrastructure Committee. This resolution would allow use on all county roads except two sections, one on County Road A and one on County Road O as specified above in the resolution. Motion to approve the resolution was made by Supervisor Chell, seconded by Supervisor Olson. Motion carried, voice vote.

Note: The county ordinance pertaining to ATV use on county roads will come before the board at the November 13, 2018, meeting. After publication, the ordinance will be enacted.

RESOLUTION 2018-27 COUNTY FOREST VARIABLE ACREAGE LOAN WHEREAS, counties having lands entered as “County Forest Lands” under the provisions of s.s.28.11 (4)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes, annually receive from the state as a non-interest bearing loan, the amount of 10 cents for each acre so entered to be used for the purchase, development, preservation, and maintenance of such lands; and, WHEREAS, said loan monies are repaid through a 20% severance tax on timber sale revenue coming from County Forest Lands unless a higher rate is mutually agreed to by the County and the Department; and, WHEREAS, the provisions of Section 28.11 (8)(b) 1, enacted

in 1979, make it possible for the County, at its option, to receive instead of the payment based on 10 cents per acre, a payment more closely related to meeting the needs identified in its County Forest 15 Year Plan based on either 0, 20, 30, 40, or 50 cents per acre.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT we, the Burnett County Board of Supervisors, in consideration of meeting the needs of our County Forest 15 Year Plan hereby request the Department of Natural Resources to provide the 2019 payment to the County under s.s.28.11 (8)(b) 1, on the basis of 50 cents for each acre of our County Forest Lands; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT the clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file this request with the Department of Natural Resources prior to December 31 preceding the year in which said payment is being requested to be made.

Chairman Taylor presented the resolution 2018-27 County Forest Variable Acreage Loan sponsored by the Natural Resources Committee. Motion to approve the resolution was made by Supervisor Bickford, seconded by Supervisor Lund.

Motion carried, voice vote.

RESOLUTION 2018-28 IN SUPPORT OF INCREASED COUNTY CHILD SUPPORT FUNDING WHEREAS, Burnett County administers the Child Support Enforcement Program on behalf of the state, providing services to Burnett County residents including paternity establishment, obtaining child support and health insurance orders for children, and enforcing and modifying those orders; and WHEREAS, our children’s well-being, economic security and success in life are enhanced by parents who provide financial and emotional support; and WHEREAS, Burnett County’s Child Support Agency ensures that parents take responsibility for the care and well-being of their children, supports the involvement of parents in their children’s lives and provides services to both custodial and noncustodial parents; and WHEREAS, the Child Support Enforcement Program is an effective investment in Wisconsin’s future as child support increases self-sufficiency, reduces child poverty, and has a positive effect on children’s well-being; and WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s Child Support Enforcement Program is ranked 2nd in the nation for collecting current support; and WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s Child Support Enforcement Program is incredibly cost-effective, collecting an average of $5.56 in support for every dollar invested in the program; and WHEREAS, county child support agencies collected $934 million in child support during 2017, 95% of which went directly to families while 5% reimbursed public assistance programs; and WHEREAS, child support agencies help save taxpayer dollars by establishing health insurance orders for 97% of cases, which reduces state Medicaid costs by moving children from public assistance to private insurance; and WHEREAS, state funding for county child support services has not increased above the 2007 funding level while county agency costs have steadily increased due to growing caseloads, inflation and new federal regulations; and WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s strong performance in child support is at risk without additional state funding. Diminished performance would result in reduced federal funding to Wisconsin; and WHEREAS, decreased federal funding would lead to less funding for Burnett County’s child support agency. This could lead to reductions in child support enforcement staff and services and reduced child support collections; and WHEREAS, new state investments in child support are amplified by a generous federal match. Every $1 of state GPR invested in the Child Support Program generates $2 in federal matching funds.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Burnett County Board of Supervisors respectfully requests that state funding for county child support agencies be increased by $1.5 million General Purpose Revenue (GPR) in each fiscal year of the 2019-21 Wisconsin state budget, which will generate approximately $3 million in additional federal funding each year. This investment will ensure that counties can continue to effectively provide economic support to our children.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded by the County Clerk to the Governor of the State of Wisconsin, State Senators and State Representatives representing Burnett County, the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Administration, and the Wisconsin Counties Association for consideration.

Chairman Taylor presented the resolution 2018-28 In Support of Increased County Child Support Funding sponsored by the Public Safety Committee. Motion to approve the resolution was made by Supervisor Lundberg, seconded by Supervisor Pardun. Motion carried, voice vote.

RESOLUTION 2018-29 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TAX DEED WHEREAS, the Treasurer for Burnett County, Wisconsin, has deposited in the Office of the County Clerk of Burnett County, tax certificates for pieces or parcels of land for the nonpayment of real property taxes, special assessments, special charges or special taxes; and WHEREAS, the owners or claimants of this land have not redeemed from said certificates the pieces or parcels of land and that said lands continue to remain unredeemed, whereby the lands have become forfeited and the County is entitled to a conveyance thereof.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the County Clerk of Burnett County be authorized to issue a Tax Deed against the persons and properties described, pursuant to Section 75.14(1) of the Wisconsin Statutes.

LA CROSSE––Former Grantsburg student is part of the annual fall Senior Exhibition at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Carolyn Myers, a 2015 graduate of Grantsburg High School, is one of the seniors graduating from UWL in December holding an exhibit of their favorite artwork.

“Making our Mark: Senior Exhibition” opens with a reception from 4-6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, in the University Art Gallery in the UWL Center for the Arts, 333 N. 16th St. The exhibit runs through Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Myers says her work is an expression of her spirituality and faith. “In my creating process I use water imagery and various mediums including silk dye, alcohol ink, and acrylic,” she explains.

“These mediums serve as an outlet in meditative reaction to an outpouring of the spirit during worship. The spiritual representation through water evokes an emotional experience that connects my soul to those around me.” Myers invites viewers to discover and reflect on their own life in relation to the filters, layers and movements of the pieces.

[Myers, an art education major, is the daughter of Scott and Debra Peterson, 24059 N. Williams Road, Grantsburg.]

The exhibition features a diverse collection of paintings, drawings, prints, ceramic work and installations.

The University Art Gallery is on the

first floor of the Center for the Arts.

Regular gallery hours are noon-8 p.m.

Mondays-Thursdays, noon-5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and during events in Toland Theatre. All exhibitions and events at University Art Gallery are free and open to the public.

The exhibit is made possible through support from the College of Liberal Studies, the School of Arts and Communications and the UW-La Crosse Student Association. Get more information about the University Gallery and art program at www.uwlax.edu/art.

CHIPPEWA FALLS––The Grantsburg-Luck-Unity-Webster gymnastics team traveled to Chippewa Falls on Saturday and finished in sixth place.

In front of them were Hudson, River Falls, Holman, Chippewa Falls, and Eau Claire.

“The first event in the 10 rounds of competition was on the uneven bars,” reported GLUW coach Kathy Lund.

“Gymnasts started the season with no falls, no stops and no extra swings, I would say that was a good start, scoring 28.625. Gracie Gerber lead the team with an 8.0 placing eighth. On the balance beam, Amy Harmon was the first to stick a beam routine scoring a 6.425, followed by teammate, Allison Peterson 7.275, and Jeni Petersen placing fourth

with an 8.450.”

Continuing, Coach Lund said “The team finished with just two falls scoring a 30.10. We did miss few connections and event requirement, but it was less falls from last year. On the floor exercise, the team scored 31.60 with Jeni Petersen leading the team with an 8.875 placing seventh. We ended the meet on vault, our strongest event scoring 33.10.

Jeni Petersen tied for fourth with an 8.65 and Gracie Gerber placed eighth with an 8.55.”

“In the All- Around, Jeni Petersen placed seventh with a 33.125, followed

by Gracie Gerber in eighth with a 32.675. This was a great mix of (Division 1 and Division 2) schools, the team finished in the middle, with River Falls the only DII school ahead.”

The next home meet is Dec. 17, 6:30 with Rice Lake.

WEBSTER––For over a seven minute stretch in the first half, the Webster Tigers held the Luck Cardinals scoreless and helped them towards a 75-51 win on Friday night.

“Our game is about pressuring the basketball,” said Coach Rob Scherrer, “pushing the pass and forcing the opponent to make mistakes. When we do that, we can be pretty fun to watch. It was a total team effort in the first half.”

At the half, the Tigers maintained a 39-18 advantage. Trevor Gustafson had 10 points to lead the Tigers. Owen Washburn pitched in with eight points.

After the Tigers scored the first two baskets of the second half, Luck went on a 12-6 run, then a 7-3 run to narrow the deficit to 48-37.

It was then the Tigers putting together a 16-9 run to regain control of the game. Webster finished the game on 11-5 spurt.

“In the second half, it wasn’t necessarily we weren’t playing well, but (Luck) got hot. They hit a few three’s that can get you back into the game quickly.”

“I’m proud of my guys and the effort they showed tonight,” continued Coach Scherrer.

“Having Carsen (Stenberg) and Owen (Washburn) in the lineup together gives us a lot of speed and then it is getting Owen to be another scoring weapon for us.”

Gustafson led all scorers with 26. Owen Washburn, Hunter Gustafson and Jack Washburn each added 10

CHENAL: Wisconsin’s top football player credits his family and coaches for success CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Chenal as Wisconsin’s best high school football player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Football Player of the Year award to be announced in December, Chenal joins an elite alumni association of state award-winners in 12 sports, including Emmitt Smith (1986-87, Escambia High School, Fla.), Matthew Stafford (2005-06 Highland Park High School, Texas) and Christian McCaffrey (2012-13, 2013-14, Valor Christian High School, Colo.).

“Leo winning the Wisconsin Gatorade Player of the Year is an awesome achievement,” Pirates head football coach Adam Hale said of Chenal. “For him to beat out every great player in the state, especially the big schools, says something about the year and career he had here.”

“I have always thought of football as my favorite thing to do. I would prepare for it all year and have a lot of fun during the season, but I never thought it would mean as much as it does to me today,” Chenal said.

“It wasn’t a single event that made it my passion, but it was understanding that God put me in the position that I am in for a reason. That I should use the talents that He gave me to give Him the glory.”

The 6-foot-3, 235-pound senior linebacker and running back rushed for 2,038 yards and 42 touchdowns this past season, leading the Pirates (12-1) to the Division 6 state semifinals. Chenal also caught three TD passes and threw for a pair of scores. The Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Small School Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, Chenal recorded 120 tackles, three fumble recoveries and two interceptions, returning one pick for a TD. He concluded his prep football career with 3,706 rushing yards, 88 total touchdowns and 385 tackles.

Recalling his football career, Chenal said his favorite memory was level three of this last season. “Regis was a very talented team and had a lot of depth,” Chenal said. “After prayer before the game, Our Lady of Victory and Jesus Christ led us into battle.

We won by two points when many believed we were outmatched.”

Chenal played football from an early age. “I grew up with seven brothers. This really got me into a physical mindset because we were always playing tackle football out in our backyard. Everything was always a competition,” he said.

“As time went on, Peter and Adam got into high school which left John and I watching the games on the sidelines. We figured the best thing we could do was start our own games. And from then on, we would get together with fellow classmates and kids from other schools and play tackle football on the outside of the field while our older brothers were playing.”

Leo Chenal

Chenal’s fooball idol is Ray Lewis. “Not only was he very talented, but he was a great leader as well. His energy was unmatched. I would like to eventually be at his level someday.”

An altar boy at his church and a singer in its choir, Chenal has volunteered locally as part of community beautification projects and as a youth football coach.

“I have been doing this for about 15 years and I have never seen someone like Leo with such strength, agility and speed,” said Corey Nelson, head coach of Unity High. “He is the best all-around football player I have ever seen at the high school level.”

Chenal has maintained a 3.81 GPA in the classroom.

He has verbally committed to play football on an athletic scholarship at the University of Wisconsin in the fall of 2019.

“What put Leo over the top in my opinion, is that he is so well rounded. Not only is he so talented on the field but he also has an outstanding GPA, always shows the upmost respect for adults, and he is always willing to help out and donate his time and efforts,” Coach Hale said. “His dedication in the weight room paid off as he was just that much more powerful and explosive than the guys he competed against and Leo also was a guy that was staying after practice to put

in that extra time to improve. His work ethic was contagious and rubbed off on many of his teammates allowing us to have such a phenomenal four year run.”

The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport.

From the 12 national winners, one male and one female athlete are each named Gatorade High School Athlete of the Year. In all, 607 athletes are honored each year.

Chenal credits his family with pushing him to be his very best both on the field and off, “I think one of the biggest things that helped me was having that many brothers. Each of us has each other’s back, and we constantly push each other to make each other better. Adam is a great moral role model for me. Peter works harder than anybody I have ever seen. John’s leadership and mentality is like no other. Having great examples like these is a huge part in my success.”

“My dad has also supplied me with every opportunity possible to allow me to better my game. Whether it was driving me to camps that were out of state or supporting me in competition, he has helped me tremendously. My mom has been amazing my whole life. Raising sixteen kids and feeding them each huge amounts of food each day was no easy task, but she made it look easy with a smile on her face. The way she has taken care of us is unbelievable, and we would not have accomplished anything without her.”

As a part of Gatorade’s cause marketing platform “Play it Forward,” Chenal has the opportunity to award a $1,000 grant to a local or national youth sports organization of his choosing. He is also eligible to submit an essay to win one of twelve $10,000 spotlight grants for the organization of choice, which will be announced throughout the year.

“We’ll not only miss his talents but will really miss his leadership and energy that he brought to practice and games. We could always count on Leo pumping his teammates up, leading the right way and going hard on every rep in practice,” added Hale.

“We will be extremely excited to support and follow Leo on his next journey as he teams up with big brother John in Madison with the Badgers.”

“The Grantsburg coaching staff has definitely helped me,” Chenal said of his high school coaches.

“They really know how to push players to be their best. If you want to become the best person you can be and have fun playing a great sport, I think you should join the football team because the coaches dedicate so much time to better us as players, students, and people.”

“Yes, we did lose some close matches, but it is only the beginning of the year.

Nolan Johnson “wrestled hard all day. He won a tight one in the semi’s. It is nice to see him the same size as his opponents.”

Taedon Nichols “continues to wrestle

well. The nice thing is there are things to improve on and he is going to continue to improve.”

“Logan Czech “wrestles hard every match. He enjoys the sport.”

Regarding Donald McLafferty, “he is showing more confidence each match.

He isn’t as nervous.”

“He wrestled hard all day,” Bartlett said of Hunter Sellent. “He never seems to get nervous. He’s relaxed before the matches. He is looking good.”

Landyn Johnson “was in the dreaded eighth seed. He won his first one, lost to the number one seed 2-3. But I believe this was the most evenly matched weight class. If this was wrestled again, the results would be different.”

Pirates notch conference win over Tigers

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates hosted the Webster Tigers in the first conference game of the young season last Tuesday with the Pirates coming away with a 43-28 win.

The Pirates got on the board first with a couple of steals and quick shots by Brooke Quimby and Olivia Ohnstad.

Grantsburg’s defense and strong rebounding limited the Tigers’ shot attempts on offense early in the game until Hannah McDowell’s three-pointer got them on the board.

The scoring went back and forth for a while before the Pirates went on a run late in the half to take a 2415 lead at the break.

Quimby led the charge for the Pirates with 12 first half points followed by Ohnstad with eight. Tiffany Gronski and Olivia Brock added two points each.

For the Tigers it was McDowell leading the way with five points for the half. Mahi Mosher and Brooke Hetfeld were right there with four points each with Makenna Buffington rounding out the scoring with two points.

The scoring slowed a bit the second half with the Pirates adding 19 and the Tigers chipping in 13.

Mosher scored quickly for the Tigers to start the half and cut the lead, but the Pirates answered quickly with a bucket of their own by Jadyn Watt.

STACY COY | SENTINEL

Grantsburg’s Olivia Ohnstad (12) dribbles past Webster’s Makenna Buffington during the Pirates’ win over the Tigers last Tuesday.

“Defensively we played really well, we just couldn’t score the basketball,” Tigers coach Mathew Wood said. “After cutting the lead to seven in the first possession of the second half, we didn’t score for the next

12 minutes of game play. Our defense has been stout all year, we just need to get our offense going so we can start being a bit more competitive.”

Both teams struggled from the free throw line throughout the game with the Tigers going 3 of 13 for the night and the Pirates shooting 4 of 11.

“This game was a great conference win for us,” Pirates head coach Penny Curtin said. “We were led

by Brooke Quimby and Olivia Ohnstad. Brooke had a triple-double for the game with 20 points, 11 steals, and 11 rebounds. This is a very difficult task to complete— she had a great game.”

“Olivia pitched in her third double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds for the game. Our young players are getting stronger all the time and contributed greatly to our win against Webster.”

To go along with Quimby’s and Ohnstad’s scoring, Brock had four points on the night and Gronski and Watt had two each.

For the Tigers it was McDowell and Mosher as top scorers with eight points each for the game followed closely by Hetfeld with seven. Grace McCool hit a shot from behind the arc for her three points, and Buffington had two for the night.

“Brooke Hetfeld and Hannah McDowell had some decent score chances and Mahi Mosher played some good defense on their studs Quimby and Ohnstad,” Coach Wood added. “Hopefully we get some things turned around and play them tougher next time.”

Cardinals stop Tiger offense GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER––“Offensively, we had a hard time getting the shots to fall in,” said Tiger coach Matt Wood following the 43-31 loss to the Luck Cardinals on Friday night.

“We’ll get there, but it’s a slow process. Defensively, we were OK. We’ve had a game where we played well, but there are building blocks on which we’ll go on.”

The game was back and forth in the early stages with the Tigers having an 8-6 lead when the Cardinals scored two quick baskets to go up 10-8 with 7:04 left in the half.

The Cardinals led by two at 13-11 when time was called with 1:57 left and the team from Luck led at the half, 17-14. Makena Buffington had four points to lead the Tigers. Grace McCool had a three pointer added to her credit.

Luck pushed on in the early stages of the second half, making the count 31-21 with 7:48 remaining and 35-21 with a little over four minutes left.

McCool and Hannah McDowell each scored a three point shot which helped narrow the gap to 37-28, but a 6-3 finish by the Cards determined the final score.

Buffington led the Tigers in scoring with nine.

McCool had six and Morgan Mulroy five.

Grace Thoreson tallied 14 for Luck.

Pirates fall to Vikings in double OT

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

FREDERIC—After a slow start and despite a double digit deficit at halftime, the Grantsburg Pirates battled back to tie up the game and take it into overtime Friday night. It actually took two overtime periods to decide the game, and in the end foul trouble cost the Pirates and they lost a hard fought battle against the Frederic Vikings 51-43.

“We struggled putting the ball in the basket early on in

the game—we started the game 0-14 from the floor,” Pirates head coach Penny Curtin said. “We were down by 16 at half and slowly chipped away at their lead and eventually tied it up just before the end of regulation play. We hung with them in the first overtime period but with two starters out with five fouls and a third starter going out in the second overtime we just could not contain the other team. The Schmidt girl was strong in overtime and our girls were shot. This was our third game in a week and everyone’s legs were

dead. Very proud of the girls for a strong come back—we didn’t give up and we put up a great fight.”

The Pirates struggled offensively the first half, only putting up 10 points. They racked up 39 points the second half though to knot up the game before heading into overtime.

Olivia Ohnstad led the Pirates with 23 points before fouling out in the second OT. Olivia Brock hit double digits with 11 points on the night. Brooke Quimby added seven and Sarah Chenal had two points.

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

FREDERIC—The Grantsburg Pirates opened up conference play in Frederic on Friday night with the Pirates sailing to a 71-29 win over the hosting Vikings.

“Once we were able to get the game at our pace, we played pretty well,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “Frederic did a nice job of controlling the tempo, defensively in the half court, during most of the first half. We made a nice run before halftime and just continued to ride the momentum in the second half.”

Grantsburg outscored the Vikings 39-16 in the first half, as Frederic struggled against the Pirates’ smothering defense forcing several turnovers which the Pirates were able to capitalize on.

It was much of the same the second half with the Pirates putting up 32 to Frederic’s 13.

Jared VanWatermeulen was the top scorer of the game with 21 points. He racked up 17 of those in the first half alone, including a strong seven of nine performance from the charity stripe.

Austin Wedin had the hot hand from the outside as he hit four three-pointers for 12 points on the night.

Tyrell Brande was the other double-digit scorer with 11 points. David MacKean tallied nine points, including one from behind the arc. Gabe Chenal and Gus Bergman chipped in six points each. Carson Knutson added four points and Leo Chenal rounded out the list with two points.

The Pirates will head to Luck on Friday night to take on the Cardinals and will host Clear Lake on Tuesday night. Game time is 7:15 p.m. for both.

WEBSTER—In the final conference tuneup before the season opener on Friday, the Webster Tiger dropped an overtime affair to the Clear Lake Warriors 67-60.

“Both teams played even in the first half,” according to Webster coach Rob Scherrer. “Marshall Cain (Clear Lake) and Coleton Peterson (Webster) each had first half foul trouble. Webster held a one point lead at the break 28-27.”

“In the second half, Webster took control with an 8-0 run to give the Tigers an eight point lead. Clear Lake responded and tied the game two minutes later at 46 with 10 minutes to play. With the game tied with 10 seconds left in regulation, Webster stole the ball from the Clear Lake guard but missed a contested layup. The Tigers got the offensive rebound and the shooter fouled on the put back with three and a half seconds left. Unfortunately for the Tigers, both free throws were missed and the game went to overtime. In overtime, Bailey Blanchard took over the game and scored Clear Lake’s seven of their nine overtime points.”

Said Coach Scherrer, “Both teams have a lot of talent on their respective rosters. Unfortunately we didn’t get the ball to bounce our way. In games like these, every possession matters from the opening tip to the end of the game. Clear Lake is a very good ball club, a team that returns most of its starters from last years state team. The tough part to swallow is that we had our chances but just couldn’t get the job done. But I promise you one thing, we will get back to work and start correcting some of our mistakes. My guys work hard, they give everything they have and teams like that will continue to get better. Our attention has to turn to the start of the conference season where we have Luck slated first on Friday.”

“Yes, the first win of the season feels great and I’m especially happy for the boys,” exclaimed Blizzard coach Tim McDonald.

“They’ve worked hard and competed every game, but so far had nothing to show for it, so getting this win was a morale and confidence booster.”

Each team scored twice in the first period, the Blizzard getting the first two. Trent Zenzen and Lukas Hunter were the scorers with Bryce Roufs and Jared Lee getting assists respectively on the goal.

Again, in period two, the Blizzard got the first two scores. Roufs got the goal in each case with Carter Johnson and David Doty assisting, again, respectively. After Chequamegon scored once, Roufs got a hat trick with Will Gerber and Doty assisting.

The period ended with the Blizzard up 5-4.

In the third period, Dawson Van Meter scored two consecutive goals and Jared Lee put the puck in the net with in a 4:39 period of time. Lee got the assists on both of Van Meter’s goals.

Lee, Doty, Gerber, Dane Jensen and Ross Anderson got the remaining goals for the Blizzard. Lee’s goal was unassisted. Riley Jones, Roufs (three times) and Lee got the assists.

Blizzard goaltender Trevor Adolphson turned away 16 of the 23 shots sent his way.

“Now we need to get back to work and prepare for our next game.” concluded Coach McDonald.

Icemen stop Blizzard GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Northwest Icemen from Barron paid a visit to the Blizzard at Siren last Tuesday and went away with a 9-1 victory under their belt.

“We played well in the second period,” said coach Tim McDonald. “We played with the body. We were able to complete with them, they getting two goals and we one, but with a shorter bench, our legs got tired. That’s been our problem so far this season.”

“It’s still early in the season, and conditioning will come.

We’ve got to put in a solid three periods of work to win a game.”

Goalie “Trevor Adolphson has been playing awesome for

us. We needed a goalie at the beginning of the season and he took it upon himself to become one.”

The Blizzard got their only goal at the 8:54 mark of the second period. Braeden Siebenthal scored the power play goal with the assist going to Bryce Roufs.

Burnett plays in the Marshfield Tournament this weekend and will host Cambridge next Tuesday.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose Jesus in the midst of Christmas

Pastor Brad Moore Grace Baptist

Busyness seems to be an increasing part of the Christmas season. The song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jingle Bellsâ&#x20AC;? has it right - we are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dashing through the snowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - but we are not really â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;laughing all the wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.â&#x20AC;?

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not be like Martha, who was distract-

ed from simply spending time being with Jesus. Take a little different approach to the season and get to know Jesus more fully and deeply. If you make â&#x20AC;&#x153;sitting at the feet of Jesusâ&#x20AC;? your highest priority, you will find new meaning and joy in His presence this Christmas. After all He truly is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reason for the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

I pray you and your family find peace and blessing in celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Have a very merry and joy-filled Christmas.
