Grantsburg loses beloved teacher

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—He was a mentor, a teacher, an elementary principal, a football coach, a grounds supervisor, a historian and friend, but Clayton Jorgensen was first and foremost a student-centered educator. He treated students and staff with dignity and respect.

Jorgensen, 74, passed away on Monday, Nov. 28.

“Clayton served the Grantsburg School District for 47 years and left us a rich legacy that we will not forget,” Joni Burgin, superintendent, pointed out.

Mogen joins race for Burnett judge

Melissa Mogen

Helping the disabled

SIREN—She’s been busy since Thursday circulating nominating papers and collecting signatures. If all goes according to plan, come April, Melissa Mogen will be on the ballot for Burnett County Judge.

The “Why?” is easy.

“I want to make a difference — I want to help my county,” Mogen said. “It’s why I moved back to Burnett — these are my people.”

After law school, Mogen practiced law in Lansing, Mich., and St. Cloud, Minn., before returning to Siren in 2009.

In addition to general practice, she said a great portion of her workload is working pro-bono cases with the Indianhead Community Action Agency — mostly domestic violence and sexual assault cases.

GRANTSBURG—Grantsburg resident Bob Nissen suffers from Transverse Myelitis, which has left him wheelchair-bound for 15 years. He is in the wheelchair repair business, which first got him interested in serving on the Governor’s Council on Physical Disabilities.

In late 2015, Nissen applied for a position on the council.

“Sheila Harsdorf (State Senator) and I had been in contact and she told me there were some openings,” he recalled. “I applied but I didn’t hear and didn’t hear.”

The future of education on display in Webster

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—Teaching is different today than it was just five years ago, and the Webster School Board got a taste of that realization at its November meeting.

“Through the use of technology, kids today come to us with a different set of skills,” Superintendent Jim Erickson explained. “We want to incorporate that enthusiasm into today’s teaching.”

To that end, the Webster district sent six of its teachers, Dan Swenson, Scott Hoefs, Rachel Derosier, Lauren Amundson, Deb Pawlak and Lisa Richison to the iNACOL national conference on blended learning in San Antonio last month.

“The teachers learn how to implement better strategies for individualized instruction — and to make better use of technology,” Erickson continued.

“We are trying to create a classroom where our kids work at their own pace under the teacher’s guidance.”

For instance, rather than moving the whole class to the next chapter in the social studies text, the teacher will introduce the next chapter, but the kids who have yet to master the old chapter can stay with it until they achieve mastery.

“It will let us know where a kid is on his or her learning path,” Erickson reported.

“One of the best things of this blended

learning is that we don’t leave kids behind.”

He was obviously inspired by the future of blended learning.

“It gets the kids to take ownership in their learning,” he added. “There’s no telling where it will lead.”

The six teachers who were at the conference shared with the board about the sessions they attended.

POST-SECONDARY SCHOOL VISITS In its second year of existence, high school counselor Renee Ones updated the board on student visits to UW-Eau Claire, UW-Barron County and WITC. “It’s something we started last year to see where the kids were interested in attending school after high school,” Erickson remarked. “It’s been great for our kids — we want them to be as aware of their options as they can be.”

He said at some point, all of the seniors had a chance to visit at least one of the schools. He said they even added some of their own teachers so the tours could be smaller and more personalized — giving the kids the opportunity to ask indepth questions.

“The kids even had a chance to shadow some of the programs,” Erickson pointed out. “They could spend a few hours in the cosmetology or welding departments and get a real sense of what post-secondary education would be like.”

The six teachers who were at the conference, including (from left) Rachel Derosier, Deb Pawlak and Lisa Richison took part in the meeting.

These visits, which the district is pursuing diligently, get the kids away from the big career fairs and the huge group tours, and give them a better hands-on look at their options.

In related news, the school board approved 18 youth option requests.

“It’s the biggest stack I’ve ever seen,” Erickson noted. “It’s entirely possible we’ll have kids leaving here for college already having a semester worth of credits.”

In other business: • The board approved teaching staff and support staff compensation increases for the 2016-17 school year.

The range of increases for the teachers varied from 2.25 percent for veteran staff to four percent for the young-

er teachers. Starting salary was also increased to $36,210. For the support staff, the board approved a 2.5 percent increase across the board. The increase equates to a $.41 per hour increase.

• The board awarded a $20,000 bid to Jensen Creative Concrete and Masonry to install sidewalks along Fairgrounds Road so the kids who walk to school don’t have to walk in the road.

“We’re only sorry it couldn’t be done this fall, but they’ll be here in the spring,” Erickson said.

• The board also awarded a $15,000 bid to CWS Security for a buzz-in system at both the elementary and 5-12 buildings.

Similar to systems already in place in Siren and Grantsburg, the intercom will come with a camera so office staff can see who is attempting entry. Erickson said he hopes the systems will be installed during Christmas break.

• In personnel moves, the board hired Christina Brown as a food service worker, Michael Tietz as a bus driver, Jimmy Flannigan as assistant boy’s basketball coach and Nicole Fletcher as advisor for the middle school chapter of the National Honor Society.

The board also agreed to post job openings for a C-squad coach for both girls and boys basketball programs.

The board approved the resignation of Jarrod Washburn as middle school baseball coach.

Grantsburg streets were busy on Saturday morning with many Christmas Bake and Craft Sales. It was fun to see the many facial expressions of the kids at the library as they sat on Santa’s lap! I did get an opportunity to sit on Santa’s lap, too!

Thank you to all who came and helped celebrate (my Mom) Mary Alma Johnson’s 84th birthday on Monday morning. She even had a surprise by a friend who came from Hudson, Wis. On a BITTERsweet note! Bitter: for the center, for the unpleasantness of having been broken into. Sweet: for whoever took our complete computer system and several personal pool cues with cases. Merry

Christmas to them! Bitter: it’s a violation that no one wants to experience. Now, we have the added, costly task at this holiday season of repairs and replacement of the losses. Sweet: After all, we’ll be getting new replacements! Thank you to the deputy sheriff who assisted us. We felt much better after your visit.

Wednesday, Dec. 7 is Christmas Cookie Baking day! Please stop in and try your decorating skills. Of course, there will be samples to taste and coffee, too!

We want to express our sympathy to Marilyn Colvin and family on the death of her husband, John. They faithfully came to Siren every Wednesday to play 500 with us. They lived near Regions Hospital in St. Paul.

John had a stroke and used hospice. His funeral was Friday, December 2 in the Twin Cities, with burial at St. Croix Falls, where Marilyn is from. I am glad Marilyn and her daughter called as we were wondering what happen to them.

Some of us from the center went on a van trip to North Branch for a shopping trip.

This was nice to start looking for Christmas gifts. Going out for lunch was a bonus.

We hope others will start to use the van, as we don’t want to lose the privilege of using it. Remember, it only costs one dollar per trip.

Some of us are going to Plymouth Play House for a play. This tour will be with the Luck Community bus. I am looking forward to this trip and being with people from other communities.

Our Senior Center will take on a festive look again as the Christmas decorators will be changing the scenery on Monday.

Stop in for free coffee during the month of December.

Our 500 winners were Marlyce Borchert, Arnie Borchert, Marion Obszarny, Pat Breswina and Steve Anderson. Spades winners were Marie Bentley, Nona Severson, Susie Hughes and Sue Newberger.

Thank you

It seems to me that the phrase “Thank you” has lost its panache.

It used to be that the phrase “Thank you” was said in sincere appreciation for some deed you completed but now it feels like it is just said more as an obligation rather than a true show of appreciation.

In some situations, it’s like the phrase has fallen into the same category as the generic “How’s it going?”

I only bring it up because my art of appreciation was tested last week.

Before I get to the test, let me admit the proper response to a “Thank you” was kind of lost on me during my formative years.

However, I remember quite vividly 40-some years ago I had made ants-on-a-log as appetizers for my Dad and his future wife for a dinner the two were having.

Ants-on-a-log you say?

Seems to C’mon, I was in third grade and I was just finding my niche in the Me kitchen.

After all, when everyone else Todd Beckmann was buying mitts or souvenir baseballs on a family trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame, I was buying my first junior cookbook.

But I digress.

My future step-mom said the appetizers were delicious.

I hemmed and hawed in trying to respond and she said, “Todd, when someone compliments you, just look them in the eye and say ‘Thanks.’”

That story is only relevant because the wife had a minor accident with the car last week — before you ask, no one was hurt.

I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t memorized my auto insurance policy so it was easier to call our agent, Corey Arnold, and quiz him about what to do — I figure it’s second nature for him.

He walked me through exactly what I had to do.

I know it’s his job but “Thanks, Corey, I appreciate the help.”

The body shop guy was the same way — once he got the information he needed from my insurance guy, he filed the necessary paperwork to get the repairs underway, set up a rental car for me and all he needed from me was to know what time I’d be dropping off the injured car.

Again, “Thanks, Bob, I appreciate your professionalism.”

Or how about when I talked with Luke Thoreson at Burnett Plumbing.

We are having an issue with our water system and I called Luke to discuss options.

Given the options he laid out for me, I settled on ordering a new part with the understanding he would call when the part arrived and we’d pick an installation date.

Again, I know it’s his business, but he seemed to go out of his way to help, so “Thanks, Luke.”

It’s easy to take good, personal service for granted but I challenge you to go out of your way to make someone feel appreciated for their efforts — not only will it make them feel better about what they are doing, it will brighten your day as well.

Read the Sentinel BURNETT COUNTY

A great new chapter In addition to getting ready to enjoy the Christmas holidays, the entertainment industry is gearing up to deliver some of their blockbusters. The holidays are a time for gathering and gift giving. They are also a time for making some money at the box office.

I don’t get out to see as many movies as I would like, but over the Thanksgiving From the weekend, I saw the Publisher’s latest installment in the popular Desk Harry Potter universe, “Fantastic Tom Stangl Beasts and Where to Find Them.”

Author J.K. Rowling, who penned the widely successful seven book Harry Potter series, wrote the screenplay for the movie. The film is an adaptation and backstory of a “textbook” used by students of the fictional Hogwarts School of Wizarding.

Eddie Redmayne plays Newt Scamander, a young magical beasts enthusiast and activist, who stops in New York City on his way to Arizona. The film is set in the 1920s, and the filmmakers did an excellent job of making the past come to life.

Through a series of mix-ups, the suitcase Scamander is carrying

gets switched with a “non-magic” person’s nearly identical case. The suitcase that Scamander is carrying is magical and contains numerous creatures that inadvertently get turned loose.

There’s a subplot about an evil wizard terrorizing the magical world (there has to be a bad guy, it IS the Harry Potter universe), a love story and lots of computer generated special effects.

It was a great two-hour fantasy escape.

I own hardcover editions of all seven of the Harry Potter novels.

I believe they will pass the test of time to become classics to be enjoyed by many generations.

I know that when the novels were first published, there was some controversy about magic and witchcraft. I didn’t think too much about it until my youngest daughter’s fifth grade class began having the books read to them.

I figured it was time to find out what all the buzz and controversy were all about, so I read the books myself. My mother taught me that the only person that should decide what I think is proper to read is me. She was a firm advocate of free thought and free expression and I am the person I am today in great part thanks to this simple, but profound lesson.

My sister, who was a librarian in a middle school, had parents ex-

pressing concerns about the magic and witchcraft aspects of the books, with some advocating for the series to be banned from the school library.

I’ll never forget the answer she gave. She pointed to the large page counts of the books (they ranged from a low of 309 to a high of 896) and explained that she had students who had difficulty reading, happily devouring the books.

“Anyone who can get these students who have difficulty reading interested in a topic deserves our support,” she said. “God bless her for creating such good books.”

In the end, the books weren’t banned and the matter never went beyond the phone conversation.

The craziness is behind us

Wisconsin remembers Pearl Harbor

BY JOHN A. SCOCOS SECRETARY, WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

For many years, nearly all of my Christmas shopping was done by Thanksgiving. That didn’t happen this year. I am glad, however, that the Black-Fridayto-Cyber-Monday madness passed for another year.

It’s nearly given the attention of a holiday itself, and for the major retailers, it is. Living miles away from those retail hubs shield us from much of it, if we so choose, minus the inescapable commercials in all media.

This Black Friday did not find me up at 2 a.m. readying to visit those establishments with 4 a.m. openings.

It’s a little too crazy, not even counting its history of insults and injuries.

I’m perplexed by those camping out overnight at storefronts.

Cyber Monday offers a different kind of danger with equally high Newbie in risks considering the number of identity thefts and other fraud perpetratthe North- ed through the internet.

At a time when Christmas cheer woods and good will are the true nature of the holiday, I can only shake my Lori Callahan head at the news broadcasts of people yelling and fighting over the ‘latest thing’ on the shelf. It’s quite ridiculous given that the item will be ‘old news’ in one or two months, if not broken before then.

Does the parent say to the child, “I had to take someone out, but I got what you wanted!”

On one occasion, I traveled with my sisters and a sister-in-law following a large, family Thanksgiving weekend gathering to shop early on Black Friday.

Getting up at 4 a.m. to drive around a parking lot for 10 minutes before landing, to fight crowds and spend oodles of money isn’t my idea of a good time. It continues to be an annual event that I forego.

In addition to the craziness, one can get caught up in the “good deal” proclamations and lose track of what’s even been purchased. It can seem like a private Christmas upon arriving home and opening packages to the surprise number of things we forgot we bought.

In more recent years, I’ve pared back commercial shopping considerably, selecting fewer, more personal items and visiting the shops at less-busy times. This slower, more thoughtful pace is my preference and feels more like the spirit of Christmas.

I’ve taken to making many gifts as well. Being an artist helps in that endeavor, but gifts of homemade foods, original or cover music, sewing, beadwork and other crafts can be equally satisfying, and well received, for anyone.

It amusingly occurred to me that now my son gets to keep all the gifts I make, recalling years of paper birds; homemade cards; plastic-spoon snowmen; cheerios dyed, glued and glittered on paper wreaths. It’s funny how things begin to turn around as we age.

I just hung his reindeer crafted from clothespins for at least the 30th time and, for nearly as many, taped his stained-glass-like angel and candy cane pictures cut from tissue and construction paper on the windows.

He still smiles when he sees them. Therein lies the gift — for both him and me.

This Black Friday I decided to mess with the big retailers’ plans and instead visited a couple local small businesses in the afternoon, finding a nice gift and handcrafted Christmas décor. The stores, with only a few other shoppers, were quiet and it was a peaceful and enjoyable experience. I skipped the Walmart and other like-conglomerates altogether.

Though I didn’t shop at all on the designated Small Business Saturday, it is where I’ll be finding the remaining needed gifts as well.

As for Cyber Monday, I left that for everyone else. I wonder how much actual work got done that working day.

December 7, 1941 is truly a day that has lived in infamy.

It marks one of the most significant dates in American history.

The Japanese attack on U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii launched our nation’s involvement in World War II. More than 332,000 men and women from Wisconsin served in World War II and nearly 4,000 died in the war.

Of the nearly 30,000 WWII veterans still living in Wisconsin, a remaining few Pearl Harbor survivors are still with us. Today is a very special day for them and us.

At 7:55 a.m. December 7, 1941, Japanese torpedo and bomber planes struck Pearl Harbor. The attack ended just before 10 a.m.

In just two hours, the American forces at Pearl Harbor were devastated. Twenty-one ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were sunk or damaged. More than 2,400 Americans died and another 1,100 were wounded.

All eight battleships moored on Battleship Row – the Arizona, California, Maryland, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia – were sunk or damaged during the Japanese assault.

Wisconsinite Clyde Stephenson

MADISON–Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Secretary Cathy Stepp on Wednesday announced plans for extensive changes to the agency, including shifting regulatory responsibilities to private contractors, curtailing the powers of the state park rangers and altering science and research programs.

State Representative Nick Milroy (D-South Range) offered the following comments in response to Stepp’s remarks: “I am deeply troubled by the changes described by Secretary Stepp. This is a direct assault on Wisconsin’s sportsmen and the enforcement mechanisms that protect our state’s natural resources,” Milroy said.

“The DNR has a long history of bipartisan support as an advocate for Wisconsin’s natural areas, yet Secretary Stepp remains committed to systematically dismantling the agency that she was tasked with leading.”

Milroy continued, “It is un-

the remaining 19 positions in the already diminished Bureau of Science Services.

“Over the course of the last legislative session, Democrats fought unsuccessfully to prevent a range of damaging rollbacks of environmental protections. This latest announcement from the DNR is a sign that the upcoming session will likely be just as bad, if not worse, than the last.

“Whether you are a sportsman, an environmentalist, or a citizen who appreciates having clean drinking water, Secretary Stepp’s proposal for the DNR is a recipe for disaster,” Milroy concluded.

believable that Secretary Stepp has proposed handing over pollution-permit duties to private consultants hired by the very businesses affected by permitting.

This is especially troubling given that the DNR has been criticized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for failing to adequately enforce the Clean Water Act. “Hundreds of Wisconsin residents have undrinkable, contaminated wells as a direct result of concentrated agriculture operations, and Secretary Stepp feels that self-regulation is an appropriate response. Any time you privatize permitting responsibilities, you open the door for abuse.”

In addition to announcing plans to privatize permitting, Stepp revealed that the DNR will decertify the DNR’s 163 park rangers who currently hold law enforcement duties. The DNR also intends to concentrate control over the agency’s research in the hands of upper management and to eliminate

He and his fellow Marines grabbed their rifles and started shooting at the planes.

Other Wisconsinites there included Darwin Lamkin of Hudson, a Navy medical corpsman assigned to the USS Nevada who was treating the injured in the sick bay when the Nevada was hit.

Mel Stapleton of North Lake, stationed at Hickam Field near Pearl Harbor, used a machine gun to fight against the Japanese planes.

Army Nurse Rhoda Ziesler from Manitowoc triaged patients at the 215th General Hospital on the morning of the attack. Medical items she used that day now reside at our Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison.

Many others tell equally compelling experiences.

Thousands of Wisconsinites served in World War II. Now 75 years later, days like December 7 are cause for remembrance, reflection and celebration.

We are given the opportunity to reflect on the service and sacrifice our World War II generation and how they shaped our world.

Even the passage of 7½ decades cannot diminish the magnitude of the attack or the extreme sacrifice of the thousands of brave Americans who lost their lives.

It is important for all of us to remember their legacy, some of whom were our friends and neighbors here in Wisconsin.

JORGENSEN: Teacher, historian, and friend taken too soon CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“He had a warm heart and was an exemplary “purple” Pirate and at tended most events.”

Following in his mother’s, brother’s and sister’s footsteps, he became a teacher and began his career in Black River Falls but after two years he made the move to Grantsburg.

“His original appointment was in 1964 when he started teaching grades 4-6 at Branstad,” she continued. “From there he went to Nelson School as a teacher and building principal.”

According to Burgin, Jorgensen became the elementary principal after Byron Kopp and served from 1990-2000 for a total of 36 years of service as a teacher/ principal.

“He implemented many great ideas for students and staff including the SAGE program,” she boasted.

Not only that, he designed the current bus route loops, he completely renovated the elementary in 1997 and served not only as a football statistician, but as

football coach, too.

“What a hard worker,” Burgin commented. “Every day started at zero and it wasn’t a good day unless he accomplished his ‘plan’ for the day — and what plans he had.”

He helped to build the athletic fields and district campus that is in place to this day, he planted trees for retirees all around the campus, brought the Reed School to campus, created Alumni Park and planted trees for the science class in the tree arboretum west of the high school.

One might think 36 years of service would be enough, but that wasn’t in Clayton’s make-up.

“After retirement as a principal, he served as the grounds supervisor from 2000-2011,” Burgin explained. “He took care of the school campus like it was his own farm and could often be seen on a tractor.”

Even following his years on the ground crew, Clayton still was infused with purple pride.

“He documented every rural school that was a part of the Grantsburg School District and placed a histor-

ical sign at the location of each site,” Burgin reflected.

“He left us a detailed binder with the location, history, and early staff of the old rural schools.”

Burgin, for one, is going to miss her friend.

“He was good, kind-hearted, full of integrity, and genuinely cared for others — we will greatly miss him, his jokes, and stories,” she concluded. “I am so thankful that I was able to work with him and participate in the many projects that he created.”

Visitation will be held from 4-8 p.m. Friday, December 9, at Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home in Grantsburg. The memorial service honoring Clayton’s life will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, December 10 at Zion Lutheran Church in Trade Lake, with visitation one hour before the service at the church.

Following the service, a reception with a time for sharing memories of Clayton will be from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Crex Convention Center in Grantsburg.

NISSEN: ‘Makes me feel good because I can help other people in my situation.’

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

That all changed earlier this year.

“Out of the blue one day I got an email asking if I was still interested — and of course, I was,” he said.

Unbeknownst to him, Harsdorf was working the issue as well because she hadn’t heard anything either.

“Apparently, it’s quite a process to get on this council,” Nissen explained. “They do a full background check, they talk to people listed in your application — the whole deal.”

Obviously, the Governor’s people liked what they heard.

“They got back to me and said, ‘Hey, you’re on and we are ready to go,’” Nissen remembered.

Since then, there’s been a flurry of emails and he’s trying to learn on the fly.

The council meets quarterly and, in fact, Nissen just attended his first meeting at the end of October.

But the group doesn’t wait until those meetings to discuss the issues.

“I’ve been involved in conference calls — we probably have those every other week or so,” he clarified.

There wasn’t much of a honeymoon for new council members.

“In October, I was appointed to the survival coalition — a sub-committee,” he described. “We’re putting together an emergency preparedness program.”

Yes, there is a state-wide preparedness plan but not one designed specifically for the handicapped and that’s what Nissen’s group is trying to cobble together.

“As handicapped people, what do we do if the lights go out, what if there’s a blizzard, what if there’s a fire, and the list goes on,” he enumerated. “We want to get this plan put together and get it in the hands of every disabled person in the state.”

He said it’s a matter of knowing who to call and knowing what to do.

“A lot of times those of us in wheelchairs can’t get onto a sidewalk unless you find a driveway in the middle of the block,” Nissen pointed out. “It could be stores without adequate aisle space or bathrooms in stores not built for handicap accessibility.”

It’s quite a lengthy list.

It was the wheelchair repair business which first got him interested in serving on the council.

“To be quite honest, we disabled people, especially those of us in wheelchairs, get ripped off quite easy,” he admitted with a laugh.

He said a simple wheel replacement involved getting a technician from the Twin Cities.

“I had to pay for travel both ways plus all his time —it was almost $500,” a clearly frustrated Nissen said.

Telling himself that wasn’t right, he got the equipment he needed and started repairing chairs himself.

“It’s gotten to be a passion of mine,” he continued. “I don’t feel right having someone on a very fixed income pay those kind of prices — I don’t work on a 30 percent markup.”

He said making equipment needed by disabled people at a reasonable rate is a goal of his while on the council.

A fully staffed council numbers 20 — disabled people, parents or guardians of the disabled, and several doctors and nurses, but Nissan admits they are a little short at the current time.

“We serve two-year terms,” he noted.

Anyone who knows Nissen knows two years won’t satisfy the man.

“At this point, I would like to do more — it depends on whether they want me back,” he remarked. “I will say what I think needs to be done — if we need to push, we’ll push.”

He’s only been on the council for a couple months but he sees it as a rewarding experience.

“It makes me feel good because I can help other people in my situation,” Nissen concluded.

perished in that big tornado they had there because no one knew what to do,” Nissen reasoned.

So the committee has a plan but as so often is the case, money is the biggest stumbling block.

“We’re going to need about 5,000 of these and we have enough money for maybe 100,” Nissen lamented.

“We’re looking for grants but we’ll also be talking with insurance companies and other big corporations to see if they want to donate toward the project.”

In addition to the preparedness plan, Nissen said the council as a whole hears from different orgaBob Nissen nizations, like local Lions clubs or county resources which can help modify homes for disabled people.

Other groups who meet with the council include groups like the Direct Care Workforce, Accessibility Wisconsin and the DNR. “They just have issues we can address or have an opinion about,” he reported.

Wisconsin is the only state in the union to have such a council and said other states are thinking about forming such a council or trying to copy what Wisconsin does.

Even though state statute requires all new construction be handicap accessible, the council has been charged with serving in an advisory capacity to ensure it happens.

“Too many times, communities have done nothing for the well-being of the physically handicapped,” Nissen noted.

He said sidewalks are just one of numerous exam-

New uniforms for Dragons

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Eighty band uniforms and 120 kids in the Siren Marching Band.

It doesn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to figure out there’s a disconnect there.

It was the conundrum band director Bryn Anderson was facing when she approached the Siren School Board at its meeting last week.

“We have 80 uniforms, some as old as 27 years old,” Anderson reported to the board. “That’s not enough to outfit our current band enrollment and even if it was, the uniforms are in a terrible state of disrepair.”

With the band traveling to Florida in June, Anderson knew her back was against the wall.

“I’m not sure what we are going to do for our trip to Disney World,” she admitted. “It’s really been stressful.”

Currently, the Dragon Marching Band, whose performances include six parades, other school functions plus traveling performances every other year, do not wear uniforms.

“The kids wear black pants, or black shorts, depending on the weather, and matching green polo shirts,” Anderson explained. “It’s fine — but you don’t get that crispness like when a band is fully uniformed.”

Her plan was an easy one — she had researched two uniform supply houses and was bringing quotes to the board for possible action.

“The biggest con with new uni-

forms is the initial cost — it’s huge,” Anderson remarked.

Her two quotes for 130 uniforms, from American Band and Stanbury, came in at $32,000 and $54,000.

“My thought is to go with the Stanbury bid — they are better quality uniforms and thus will last longer,” she said.

And, the Stanbury uniforms have another thing going for them.

“Because they are custom designed, we can get our kids involved in the design process,” Anderson pointed out.

She realized she was asking a lot.

“Realistically, I don’t see us getting new uniforms for at least a year or two,” Anderson confided to the board.

But that wasn’t the feeling of board members.

“I think we’re shorting them,” Peggy Moore, board president, opined. “I mean really, what have we spent on this program?”

Member Duane Emery agreed.

“I think you should set a plan for the uniforms to last eight years,” he voiced. “You start a uniform fund where some of the fundraising money raised by band members goes into it so when the time comes to buy new uniforms, the money is there.”

Moore said the $54,000 was not budgeted in the current year’s budget but if the request was forwarded to the budget committee, perhaps they could take $5,000 from here, $10,000 from there and so on until the needed amount was achieved.

“We’re going to authorize you to buy the new uniforms,” Moore

decreed. “It’ll be up to the budget committee to figure out how we’re going to pay for it.”

The motion passed unanimously and to say the decision was an unexpected one is an understatement.

“I’m in shock,” Anderson said.

“Is this for real?”

District Administrator Kevin Shetler backed up the board.

“It’s aggressive but I think you’ll have new uniforms in time for Disney World,” he pointed out.

Anderson is wasting no time in pursuing her new directive.

“The kids were very excited when I broke the news to them in rehearsal,” she noted. “I am forming a committee of kids to help design and I have been in contact with our uniform rep.”

She said the design could incorporate the letter “S” in the design or maybe a dragon.

She is hopeful to complete the uniform design, have the company do their sketches and have a sample uniform made before Christmas so production can be started in January.

“Right now production time is running about 180 days and our rep. said he would put a rush on our order so we can have them for Florida in June,” Anderson concluded.

MOGEN: Seeks ballot spot for circuit judge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“Growing up, I didn’t realize the level of domestic violence in this county and I didn’t realize the level of poverty here either,” she explained. “That’s why I am running for judge —I want to help effectuate change.”

She does not intend to be a one-term-and-done type of judge.

“I plan to serve with compassion, but I will also hold people accountable,” Mogen remarked.

In addition to her private practice and her work with ICAA, Mogen also serves as Polk and Burnett County family court mediator and Burnett County Small Claims Court Commissioner.

“It’s quasi-judicial experience,” she exclaimed.

That’s four jobs, plus she is now adding campaigning into the mix.

“It’s all about time management —I have four jobs, I have four kids. I graduated law school in just two years instead of three —I am a very high achiever,” Mogen described. “I set goals and I achieve them.”

Mogen, who was raised in Siren and graduated from Siren High School, got her undergraduate degree in Political Science, Public Administration and Sociology from UW-Stevens Point and UW-Madison, where she graduated cum laude.

She attended Western Michigan University — Thomas Cooley Law School, where again she graduated with honors.

“I was third in my class of 100 and completed law school in two years,” Mogen pointed out.

She also completed a two-year internship in the office of the Michigan Attorney General.

A small box with a big impact

GRANTSBURG—The impact a simple shoebox gift has on a child is indescribable — what goes into the box is fun, but what comes out of it is eternal.

The Samaritan’s Purse project, Operation Christmas Child, is the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind that uses gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 135 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 150 countries and territories.

Many residents at Burnett Medical Center’s Continuing Care Center (CCC) are not able to give gifts like they used to; however, Operation Christmas Child makes it possible for them to give to others like they had done in the past.

The residents wanted to participate but there was not enough money to pay the shipping costs and buy all the items to put in the shoebox. Fortunately, New Hope Lutheran Church called wanting to donate to the cause. Their thoughtful $500 donation helped the residents fill 20 shoeboxes to the rim with many nice gifts and had enough money left to pay the shipping.

“The residents had a great time and I was able to tell them about the importance of the shoeboxes and what joy we will be giving a child in another country who will probably only get this one gift for Christmas,” said CCC Life Enrichment Director Sandra Harmon.

“It was a humbling experience seeing all these shoeboxes being made and I think it is something everyone should experience.”

These acts of kindness could not have been done without the help from Burnett Medical Center employees Sandra Harmon, Life Enrichment Director CCC, Sharon Danielson, Life Enrichment Assistant, Cara Peasley, CCC Unit Secretary, and New Hope Lutheran Church.

Chalk art contest against bullying BURNETT COUNTY—October was National Bullying Prevention Month. Healthy Burnett joined the effort to raise awareness about preventing bullying by organizing a Chalk Art Competition with the local schools in October.

Organizations around the world, from Burnett County to New Zealand, are working to raise awareness about how to prevent bullying in their communities. Nationally, one in four students will experience bullying this year, and Burnett County is no different.

According to the 2014 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 29 percent of high school students reported being bullied in the previous 12 months. Bullying can negatively impact educational performance, erode self-esteem and self-worth, cause anxiety and depression, and lead to thoughts of self-harm.

Healthy Burnett, the community coalition formed in 2013 to address the top health needs in Burnett County, has taken this opportunity to team with local schools to raise awareness about how this important issue can be prevented.

According to Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center, 57 percent of bullying situations end when a peer intervenes. Guided by this fact, Healthy Burnett chose a positive message for the schools to incorporate into their drawings that will encourage students to rally around one simple action: ‘Once

you choose hope, anything is possible.’

The statement urges students to intervene in bullying situations — by standing up to bullying and by reaching out to those who are harmed by bullying.

The school districts of Webster, Siren, Grantsburg, ALC, Northwest Journey, and Northwest Passage were the participants in this year’s Chalk Art Competition.

Students created the drawings on their campuses.

The completed chalk art drawings were evaluated by a panel of judges.

Northwest Passage was the first place winner and received $300.

After 32 years with us, Carol Yerigan is retiring.

Grantsburg High School and Siren High School were voted second and third place, respectively. All of the completed drawings can be viewed on Healthy Burnett’s Facebook page.

The Chalk Art Competition is organized by the Mental Health Task Force of Burnett County, a subcommittee of Healthy Burnett.

This volunteer committee is devoted to breaking the negative stigma surrounding mental health which is one of the top health needs identified in the community health needs assessment conducted by Burnett County DHHS-Public Health and Burnett Medical Center in the spring of 2016.

past seven years, b but I can h honestly say that Rollo is the one that holds the key to my heart. I wish I could keep him for myself. He is going to make someone very happy and I cannot wait to hear about his happily ever after!

Ginger is approximately two years old and looks very similar to Rollo in coloring, but not size. She is petite for an adult cat. Ginger was adopted but returned within two weeks because she wasn’t the lap cat the adopters wanted. She is friendly and playful, yet she likes her independence too. The nice thing about independent cats is that they don’t usually bother visitors that don’t want a cat rubbing up on them or jumping into their laps. It all depends on what you are looking for in a cat.

If you want the companionship and don’t care about a constant lap warmer, Ginger’s your gal!

Also, two weeks is a short time to really acclimate a new animal into your home; but that is the time given by most shelters for a money-back guarantee.

Within two weeks of adoption, if you want to return your animal, your money will be refunded, or you can adopt another animal in its place (if approved). In defense of Ginger’s adoptive family, they decided she wasn’t a good fit for what they wanted and returned her in a timely manner. Now we just need to find Ginger the family she was meant to be with, because I believe in fate, and her soulmate is still out there.

’ not sure, b ill d k I’m but h he still ducks a little when I reach down to pet him.

I was worried when I brought Rollo to the shelter, because I didn’t know how he’d react to the noises and being in a small condo (after free run of my porch for over a month) and that he really was used to only my husband and me. When I fi rst arrived, I went into the office and sat him on my lap for photo opportunities with our volunteer, Kris. Even though he sat pretty still for the pics and allowed Kris to make a sissy out of him by putting a Christmas bow on his head, he seemed pretty content.

And, when I brought him out to his condo, which will now be his home until he gets adopted, he didn’t try to hide in the litter box.

The barking dogs did scare him a bit and he looked at me as if to ask, “Where are you putting me?”

He quickly made friends with another one of my foster kitties named Theodora, who is conveniently housed right next to Rollo.

They can visit through the bars of the cage and probably even reach out and high-five each other if they wanted to.

The last week that I had Rollo home with me, I brought him in every night to sit with me on the couch and watch TV. I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy-going Rollo was around my dog and persnickety cat. Whoever the lucky person is that adopts this fi ne fellow, they need to give him the time to adjust to his new surroundings.

Okay, ffolks.

Ok lk I know k you h have been patiently waiting for Rollo’s arrival at the shelter so that you can all line up to adopt him! (I also know that you might be tired of my constant reminders about him.)

Yes, indeed, this male cat is now ready for a new Rollo chapter in his life – one that will find him the warmth and safety of a home and the unconditional love of a family.

No longer will Rollo be looking over Ginger his shoulder at every little noise. No longer will he be hungry or thirsty.

No longer will he be cold, scared and alone. If Rollo could talk, what a “tail” he could tell us about his approximate eight-year adventure.

Did he have a home at one time in his life? I think he did, because although it took him a while to trust us, it took no time to warm up to us once we had that fi rst actual touch.

How long was he out in the wilderness? Long enough to have an ear infection, eye infection, fleas and worms. Long enough to know how to hunt for his food and come to my house begging for something better than what he could scrounge up. Long enough for him to become leery of everything and everybody.

Was he abused at some point?

God’s sense of humor GRANTSBURG—Timing is everything.

Last Wednesday, Ken Hyatt was at the post office in downtown Grantsburg to pick up his mail.

“For the past couple of weeks, I have been a mite ‘irked’ at the post office because their flag has been tangled up in the branches of a nearby tree,” Hyatt admitted.

“Finally I’d had enough, and Wednesday I went to the counter and complained.”

As a retired U.S. Navy chaplain, Hyatt loves the flag of the United States.

“Your flag is being torn apart against a tree, and I’d suggest our post-master be informed of this concern, and arrange to have that

tree pruned,” he told the gal at the counter.

Hyatt said that as he drove away, he felt a smug inner satisfaction that he’d done his “good deed for the day.”

The feeling lasted for all of five minutes.

“When I pulled into my own driveway, I saw to my horror that my own flag was caught in a branch in exactly the same way,” he explained.

He said he had been aware that the flag was close to the tree, but before Wednesday, it hadn’t been caught in any branch.

“Well, Lord, You certainly have a great sense of humor, and You know how to humble me,” Hyatt

remarked to himself.

Not wanting to be a hypocrite, he immediately got his shears and extension ladder and did some tree trimming.

“After all, who did I think I was to upbraid someone else for the neglect of their flag, when it was now obvious that I was neglecting my own?” Hyatt pointed out.

“Perhaps I should have been a good Samaritan and gone to the post office and done the same there, but it was getting dark.”

Because the one he has is somewhat tattered, he said he was hopeful Santa Claus will bring him a new flag for Christmas.

Blizzard boys open with losses

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Burnett Blizzard boys hockey team suffered two losses last week to open their 2016-17 hockey campaign.

On Thursday, the Blizzard lost to Baldwin-Woodville 11-2 and on Saturday to Spooner 7-3.

In the Baldwin-Woodville game, just one goal was scored in the first period, that by the Black Hawks.

The Hawks opened the door in period two with five goals before the Blizzard got on the board.

At 12:04 and 12:11, Austin Bowman scored two goals, both unassisted, to give the Blizzard some hope in the contest and ended the second frame behind 6-2.

The Hawks put five more scores across in the last period, holding the Blizzard scoreless.

Blizzard girls get one at Arrowhead Tourney

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

HARTLAND—The Burnett Blizzard girls hockey team traveled to Hartland, Wisconsin last weekend to participate in the Arrowhead Hockey Tournament held there. The Blizzard came away with one win in three games.

In the first game, the Blizzard lost to the Bay Area Ice Bears by a 10-0 score.

“Six hours proved to be too long of a ride to compete with Bay Area,” said coach Rick Quimby. “The girls came out slow, but despite the 10 goals scored, freshman goal tender Emma Quimby turned some heads and had some amazing saves.”

Quimby turned away 68 of 78 shots on goal.

In the second game for the Blizzard, the girls came out on top 6-3 over Beaver Dam-Randolph.

“It was the first win in over two years for the Blizzard girls!” exclaimed an elated Coach Quimby.

“Again freshman goaltender Emma Quimby came up big against a top goal scorer in the state and current Team Wisconsin Tier 1 player. Mykala Anderson showed up to play tallying a hat trick, and our defense was solid in our zone helping to produce the first win in over two seasons!”

The Blizzard put four goals on the board in the first period of play. Anderson scored her first goal at 2:04 with an assist going to Savannah Trittelwitz.

Two minutes later, Olivia Hall put the puck in with assists going to Gretchen Lee and Trittlewitz.

Less than two minutes after that, Anderson got

goal number two with help from Trittelwitz and Kylie Broten.

She got her hat trick at 14:51, with assists to Trittelwitz and McKenzie Johnson. The Blizzard held that 4-0 advantage at the end of the first period of play.

Beaver Dam-Randolph scored twice in the second period to narrow the gap to two, but the Blizzard defense limited BD-R to just seven shots on goal.

The Blizzard struck first in the last period, with Johnson scoring just 54 seconds into the period. Assists went to Anderson and Lee. Less than two minutes later, Heather Struck put the puck past the goaltender with help from Jaden Denotter and Maddie Hall.

The Blizzard defense held BD-R to just one more goal, gaining the 6-3 win.

Quimby had a total of 15 saves for the Blizzard.

Against Brookfield (game three), “We had a shot at this one but three games in a weekend was just too much for the girls,” commented Coach Quimby. “We tired quickly and their offense was just too much for our tired legs to keep up with. It was a game I really felt we could’ve won and it slipped by us.”

Mykayla Anderson scored in both the second period and the third period for the Blizzard to account for their scoring. An assist went to Olivia Hall on Anderson’s second goal.

Emma Quimby made 24 saves while Brookfield’s goalie was 14 of 16.

Up next for the Blizzard is a trip to Silver Bay on December 10 with a 3 p.m. starting time.

Matmen open at Rush City Tourney

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

RUSH CITY, Minn.—The Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling team went to Rush City (MN) on Saturday to open their season.

“We had 11 guys and took third as a team out of nine schools,” said coach Chris Bartlett. “I was correct in my preview for the team. They all have heart and never give up. They wrestled until the whistle blew.”

Of Hunter Sellent (120), Coach Bartlett said it was “his first varsity matches. He wrestled well.”

Landyn Johnson (128) “was in the toughest weight class. Every match was a fight.”

At 132, Merlin Hibbs “wrestled hard; he was having fun on the mat.”

Brenden Boettcher (138), “I could tell he was nervous. Wins will come sooner than later.”

At 145, Brad Lucas “worked hard to make weight.

Results don’t reflect how he wrestled.”

Adam Menke (160) “wrestled all right; he had a returning state qualifier in the semi’s.”

Tim Thompson (170) “filled in for us in a higher weight. He is working his way down.”

At 182, Dakota Schultz “did very well. He pinned his way through and took what the opponents gave.”

Brock Phernetton (195) “had a nail biter in the semi’s and won 3-2. He knows he could have taken first.”

Matthew Louis (220) “had a good day. He ran into a tough Rice Lake opponent in the finals.”

At 285, Mikel Louis “had a good day. He is building his confidence and should have a good year.

“It is fun coaching a group of kids who work hard in practice and who give it all on the mat. As the season goes on, I think we are going to be tough.”

LFGS goes to Shell Lake on Thursday and to the Barron Tournament on Saturday.

Dragons drop opener

BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Siren Dragon boys dropped their season opener to a tough Turtle Lake Lakers team on Tuesday, November 29. The final score was 84-54.

It was a close game in the first half with the Lakers holding a 38-31 edge at the break. The second half was a different story, as TL doubled up Siren outscoring them 46-23 to take the win.

Game time is 7:15 p.m.

SPOONER—In the second game of this season, the Grantsburg Pirate boys basketball team traveled to Spooner to take on the Rails. It took overtime, but the Pirates won this one, 65-55.

This game had almost a “must win” feel for the Pirates, as they had a lot to improve on after their first game.

“This was a game we needed to play well in, coming off Tuesday’s poor effort,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “The guys really stepped up and played well, despite big-time foul trouble throughout the game. I’m proud of their effort and excecution, but they still need to work on a lot of things to get where we want to go.”

Grantsburg started hot and jumped out to an early 25-6 lead over the Rails as they played solid defense and ran an almost perfect offense.

But, the Rails went on a little run as the fouls added up for the Pirates. The Railswere able to make it a 29-19 game at halftime.

Leo Chenal muscled his way to the basket to lead the Pirates with 11 points in the half. Luke Anderson was next, scoring from the outside hitting for seven.

John Chenal was next up, scoring four. Joseph Ohnstad got his night started hitting a three. Austin Olson and Austin Wedin ended the scoring with two each.

This game started off with Grantsburg doing whatever they wanted to, but as in so many high school games – wait a while, things are going to change.

The Pirates’ offense cooled down as the Rails outscored them 33-23 in the second half to tie the game at 52-52 to head into overtime.

Foul trouble hit both teams hard in the overtime period. Olson and Ohnstad ended the game on the bench, and Spooner had two players leave early.

The Pirate defense stepped up and held the Rails to just three points in OT, while Grantsburg racked up 13, winning the game from the foul line.

During the second half and the overtime, Leo Chenal matched his first half score, adding another 11 points. Anderson hit a pair of threes and also went three-for-

Tigers beat Winter in opener, lose to ‘Springs

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WINTER—The Webster Tigers got off to a good start in their season opener last Tuesday night, traveling to and defeating the Winter Warriors by a 72-51 margin.

“It was a nice win for us to get the cobwebs out of the system,” said head coach Rob Scherer.

“The men did a nice job attacking the basket and the glass. We struggled putting the ball in the hoop.”

Webster led at the end of the first half 34-22. Jack Washburn led the Tigers with 14 in the half on three two-point shots, two three-point shots and two-for-three from the

charity stripe.

Brad Sigfrids added six with Joey Formanek and Trevor Gustafson chipping in with five apiece.

Washburn continued his hot hand in the second half, adding 11 to his total.

“Jack Washburn had a huge game getting to the basket and shooting from outside the arc.

“Brad Sigfrids and Joey Formanek combined for 29 rebounds,” complimented Coach Scherer.

Washburn finished the game with 25 tallies. Sigfrids chipped in with 10. Eight other Tigers also scored in the game.

“We need to improve on making good decisions with the basketball, and at times our defense was

lackluster,” concluded the coach.

according to preliminary estimates the Department of Natural Resources released Tuesday.

The data show hunters killed 196,785 deer statewide during the season, down from 198,057 last year. If the data holds, 2016 would

go down as the second-lowest harvest for the nine-day season since 2007. The smallest nine-day harvest during that span came in 2014, when hunters took 193,405 deer.

At Solon Springs on Thursday, the Tigers found it tough sledding as the Eagles put away the Webster team by a 65-32 margin.

‘Springs led 35-19 at the half.

J. Gehl led all scorers in the first half with 14. For Webster, Jack Washburn had eight and Trevor Gustafson four to lead the Tigers.

Second half woes continued for Webster, as they could hit only 13 points while Solon Springs added 30.

Game high scorer for the Tigers was Washburn with eight.

Webster will have traveled to Grantsburg on Tuesday and will host Luck on Friday.

Lady Dragons get nice win over Lakers

BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Siren girls basketball team got the home gym rocking with a big 53-32 win over the Turtle Lake Lakers on Tuesday, November 29.

In this young season it was clear that the Dragons are still figuring out some things on the offensive side of the ball, but the defensive side was clear, as they executed their signature smothering defense that everyone has come to know.

The tough zone defense of the Dragons forced five turnovers in the first six trips down the court for the Lakers. And it didn’t get any easier for them as the night went on. It didn’t matter who was on the floor for the Dragons, they buckled down and made the court theirs.

At the end of the first half, the score was 35-15 with Siren holding a commanding lead.

The Dragons played everyone on the roster in this game with Sarah Shaffer leading the way with 14 points on the night. Abby Kosloski and Cassie Maslow were next on the list, scoring nine each. Paeyton McKnight and Alexa Buskirk shared the third spot scoring five each. Not far behind was Jade Horstmen and Riley Anderson tallying four each. Elie Emery tossed in two with Alayna Johnson ending the scoring with one.

The Dragons begin conference play this week, facing St. Croix Falls on Tuesday (Dec. 6) before taking on Unity at home on Friday. Game time is 5:45 p.m.

Pirates undefeated after two games

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

CU M BER L A N D/BA LSA M LAKE—“Cumberland was our first game of the season and we made a lot of first-game mistakes,” reported Grantsburg Pirate girls basketball coach Penny Curtin, “but we also saw a lot of good play from many players.”

Even with the opening games mistakes, the Pirates came away with a 60-19 victory over the Cumberland Beavers.

“Our senior group played hard and made minimal mistakes on the floor. We did get tired and made a few mistakes due to fatigue. Overall, it was a good showing for our first game.”

The Pirates took a 24-12 lead

into halftime. Tymber King and Cassidy Lee each had eight points to lead the Pirate attack. Jordyn McKenzie had six and Rhiana Pochman tallied two.

Six Beaver players all had two points apiece.

In the second half, Lee continued her hot shooting, getting 14 points. She finished the game and led all scorers with 22 points.

Tymber King finished with 13 and Jordyn McKenzie had 10.

Lauren Green was high scorer for the Beavers with four.

Grantsburg got into conference action quickly on Thursday, posting a 42-28 win over the Unity Eagles.

“We struggled a bit in the second half with executing our plan, but the girls didn’t give up,” said Coach Curtin.

Grantsburg carried a 22-9 advantage into halftime. Cassidy Lee led the Pirates in the first half with 12 points. Jordyn McKenzie had five, Rhiana Pochman, four and Katie Curtin, one.

Jessica Grams had five for the Eagles.

Lee, again, continued her scoring in the second half, garnering 14 additional scores. She finished the game with 26.

“They guarded her tough on the outside but she was able to take the ball to the basket” said Coach Curtin. “Jordyn McKenzie also put in nine points and did a wonderful job running the offense.”

The Pirates will have hosted Webster on Tuesday, will travel to Frederic on Friday, and will host Amery next Monday.

W I N T E R / W E B S T E R —T h e Webster Tigers girls basketball team got on the right track in their first game of the season, traveling to and defeating the host Winter Warriors 60-41 last Tuesday night.

“It was a good first game for us,” stated coach Matt Wood. “We started out a bit slow which is understandable for our first game.

A few of our girls are adjusting to different and more significant roles than they had last year. We rebounded the ball extremely well, unfortunately we struggled with finishing underneath the basket.”

Allison Mulroy led the Tigers in scoring with 20 points, 18 of them coming off from three point shots. Julia Gavin tallied nine with Emma Rachner adding eight.

Mahi Mosher chipped in with seven. Sophie Phernetton and Makena Buffington each added six. Tingo Mosher had three and Hailey

Hollis had one point.

Conference action started quickly for the Tigers and they lost to the Frederic Vikings 50-22 on Friday.

The Tigers got two quick baskets to jump out 4-0, but the Vikings

kept their cool and chipped away at the lead. They went ahead 7-6 on a basket by Shelbi Root. It became 18-8 later, also on a bucket by Root.

Frederic did not look back as they carried a 22-11 lead into halftime.

Mulroy had four tallies for the Tigers in the first half. Hannah Schmidt of Frederic had 10.

The Vikings added 28 in the second half to just 11 for the Tigers.

Sophie Phernetton had four to lead the Tigers.

Kalyn Robertson and Schmidt each tallied nine for the Vikings in the second half.

Schmidt finished the game with 19 and Carey Thaemert added 10.

For Webster, Sophie Phernetton had five with Allison Mulroy, Emma Rachner and Makena Buffington each adding four.

After traveling to Grantsburg on Tuesday, the Tigers host Luck on Friday and travel to Clear Lake next Tuesday.

Blizzard throttled

by North

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

EAU CLAIRE—“Eau Claire has a very solid team this year and proved to be too much to handle for our girls,” said Blizzard Coach Rick Quimby following a 12-1 setback last Tuesday night.

“We really had a rough period in the first period, giving up nine goals, but we tallied one at the buzzer to give us a little boost going into the second.

“The next two periods we stepped up our defense and had strong performances from Olivia Hall and Danielle Erickson along with Emma Quimby, and held them to only three more goals for two periods.”

The Blizzard’s lone goal came right at the end of the first period, with Mykayla Anderson scoring and Maddy Hall along with Heather Struck getting the assists.

The shots-on-goal were also less in the second and third periods, with 13 and 16 shots recorded on goalie Emma Quimby.

“Another tough loss, but we showed some good signs.

The girls are starting to understand the importance of playing three full periods of hockey,” the coach concluded.

December WIAA Board of Control meeting review STEVENS POINT, Wis.—The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Board of Control acted on a revised drone policy, and received a number of staff reports at its December meeting today.

The Board approved edits to the tournament series drone policy to reflect the Federal Aviation Administration’s regulations for small drones that became effective in August. The new regulations replace the requirement for a Certificate of Authorization with a Remote Pilot in Command license.

An eight-player football realignment plan receiving initial approval places the Mercer/Butternut co-op in Lakeland Conference for eight-player football only beginning in the fall of 2017.

Membership rules require a 40day window for schools involved in realignment plans to appeal the first consideration of the Board before it takes final action. Thus, schools have until Jan. 11, 2017, to file an appeal of the initial vote.

The Board will give final consideration of the plan at its meeting on Feb. 1, 2017.

Other action items receiving Board approval were the 2015-16 independent audit report provid-

ed by Smith & Gesteland, general fund statements, general fund payments, the deferred liability fund report for September and the 201718 meeting dates calendar.

Among the other discussion topics were competition maximums for sport seasons and the penalty for exceeding the maximum number, the Big Ten scheduling football games on Friday evenings, a report on home-school participation in 2015-16, and a presentation

by School Perceptions outlining the results of a membership competitive equity and sports season placement survey. The Board also received liaison reports from Mike Thompson of the Department of Public Instruction, and Peggy Seegers-Braun of the Wisconsin Athletic Directors Association.

WIAA to conduct sportsmanship summit STEVENS POINT, Wis.—Nearly 650 students and administrators of 102 teams representing 92 member high schools are registered to attend the 2016 WIAA/Rural Mutual Insurance Sportsmanship Summit in Stevens Point, Wis. Schools from throughout the state will be in attendance at the Holiday Inn & Convention Center.

Each school will be represented by at least one six-member team con-

sisting of students, school administrators, coaches, school board members, media and/or community leaders.

The mission of the Sportsmanship Summit is to strengthen the principles of sportsmanship by promoting teamwork, sharing resources and providing the impetus to make a difference in member schools.

The event is intended to assist schools in addressing citizenship and sportsmanship values with students, student-athletes, adult fans, advisors, parents and booster clubs; developing plans to improve and maintain sportsmanship; and setting sportsmanship expectations.

The Summit will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m. The first session begins at 9 a.m. with a brief welcome from WIAA Executive Director Dave Anderson, followed by morning keynote speaker Craig Hillier, professional speaker and author of Playing Beyond the Scoreboard.

The Summit will conclude with closing remarks from Anderson at approximately 2 p.m.

Together, schools, parents, booster clubs and communities can work together to develop sportsmanship expectations

OBITUARIES

Roberta R b t T Tatro t

Clayton Cl t Jorgensen J

JJared d Colsrud C l d

Roberta Ruth Tatro, 66, of Grantsburg, passed into the arms of God on Thursday, December 1, 2016.

Visitation was held Sunday, December 4 at Swedb berg-Taylor Funeral Home of G Grantsburg. A graveside serv vice was conducted Monday, D December 5 at Riverside Cemettery of Grantsburg.

Roberta, better known as R Robbie to friends and family, w was born on April 25, 1950, in M Minneapolis. She was the fifth a and youngest child of Wilbur a and Mary (Fitzgerald) Simon, a and spent most of her childh hood in the Minneapolis area.

She married her high school ssweetheart, Dave Tatro, w when he was drafted into the U U.S. Army during the Vietn nam War. They were united in m marriage August 23, 1969, at tthe Prince of Glory Lutheran C Church in Minneapolis.

Dave and Robbie eventually ssettled in East Bethel, Minn., a and lived there more than 30 y years. There they raised children, dogs, cats, chickens and a couple of goats. They attended Trinity Lutheran Church in St. Francis, Minn.

Robbie’s affinity for people was well reflected in her career choices once her children were older. She was a Minnesota real estate agent and broker for more than 20 years, working first in Coon Rapids and eventually working in northern Anoka and Isanti counties. Never one to enjoy sitting around, when she retired from real estate she worked for the U.S. Census Bureau and was a local election judge.

Robbie loved genealogy and family history. She spent many hours in dusty basements of libraries and historical societies learning about long-forgotten ancestors and their stories. Robbie was an avid gardener. Visitors to their home in East Bethel and later in Grantsburg, were pleasantly surprised by the extensive perennial gardens she tended with love.

She loved to read. When looking for a community to buy a retirement home, a library she could walk to was on the top of her wish list. Grantsburg fit the bill and she quickly joined a local book club. Robbie also joined the Grantsburg Area Historical Society and volunteered at many of their events.

When she wasn’t busy volunteering or going to her grandchildren’s events, she and Dave liked to travel far and near. From a favorite little spot in the Apostle Islands to bus tours of the New England states, they enjoyed spending time exploring together.

Cancer has robbed a family of their vibrant, loving wife, mother and grandmother, but it can never take her spirit that lives on in each of our hearts. She will be sorely missed by anyone who ever had the joy of knowing her.

Robbie is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, David; her children: Erica (Jeremy) Morton of Grantsburg, Lucas (Ashley) Tatro of Worthington, Minn., and Justin (Collette) Tatro of St. Louis Park Minn.; her grandchildren, who were the light of her life: Alexandra, Devin, Rebecca, Dakota, Ty, Elizabeth, Zoe, Christian and Teagan Robi.

She is also survived by her brothers: Daniel Hoy of Paso Robles, CA and Timothy Simon of Dorena, OR; and her sister, Lori (Jim) Nelson of Kenmare, ND. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Michael Hoy. Online condolences may be expressed at www.swedberg-taylor.com.

His dad, grandmother, brothers Neal and Carlton, and sister Catherine cared for him during his younger years. He was baptized at the Bone Lake Evangelical Lutheran Church and confirmed at the Clam Falls Lutheran Church.

In 1954, Clayton moved to Clam Falls and lived with his sister, Catherine, and her husband, Alvin Olson.

When Clayton’s father died in 1956, his sister became his guardian. Clayton attended LaFollette School in the lower grades and Clam Falls and Maple Valley Schools in the upper elementary grades. He graduated from Frederic High School in 1960. He enjoyed sports and farm-related activities.

Clayton chose to follow in the footsteps of his mother, brothers and sister to become a school teacher. He attended Polk County Teachers’ College and met the love of his life, Karen Lindberg. They were married in 1962 at Zion Lutheran Church of Trade Lake. Clayton started teaching in the Black River Falls School District in the fall of 1962.

He earned a Bachelor’s degree in education from University of Wisconsin (UW)-LaCrosse, a Master of Science degree in teaching from UW-Eau Claire, and his Administration Specialist degree from UW-Superior.

After teaching two years in the Black River Falls School District, Karen and Clayton were hired to teach in the Grantsburg School system. Clayton was an elementary school teacher and became the elementary school principal. He served the Grantsburg School District for more than 36 years. He retired in 2000 to become a stay-at-home grandpa.

Clayton was a longtime member of Zion Lutheran Church of Trade Lake. Over the years he was involved in many community and statewide activities and was very supportive of youth and their activities. Clayton was a Boy Scout leader, 4-H leader, Sunday School teacher and worked with the Grantsburg High School football team for many years. When he retired, he received the “Going the Extra Mile for Kids� award from the Grantsburg School District.

Clayton was a civic-minded person and served on the Grantsburg Village Board, the Burnett County Board of Supervisors and many local and statewide committees. In 2004, Clayton received the Distinguished Service Award from the Wisconsin Athletic Directors Association. He was very involved in many local history events and tractor events. The biggest joy of his life was his family.

He is also survived by his son, Greg (Heather) Jorgensen; his daughter, Janelle (Jeff) Hermann; his grandchildren: Bella, Sophie, Max and Will Jorgensen; Danielle, Chris and Lauren Hermann; as well as his little dog, Marley.

You see it on necklaces, on buildings, along the highway. The cross is the great symbol of Christianity.

The cross reminds us of Christ’s sacrificial and saving love. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus died for our sins because He loved us.

On the cross, just before He died, Jesus cried out, “It is finished!� On the cross, Jesus paid our debt, bore our punishment, was forsaken of God, experienced hell, and died. “I love that old cross, where the Dearest and Best, for a world of lost sinners was slain.�

cross. The cross is empty, and so is the tomb of Jesus! He rose from the dead! So, a plain cross, an empty cross, is the great symbol of biblical Christianity. The cross shows how God has been actively and personally involved in world history.

God in Christ became a man, was tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin, and experienced suffering, all for others. The cross summarizes Jesus’ live and death of love. And the cross is Christ’s call to Christians: “Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.� We are to deny

Christmas of giving Each year, the Burnett County Lions Clubs compete in ‘The Festival of Trees,’ a Christmas tree decorating contest that is part of the Christmas at the Forts celebration sponsored by the Burnett County Historical Society. The decorated trees are judged on beauty and creativity in expressing the theme of the celebration. The Lions Clubs from Grantsburg, Siren and Webster had fun with this year’s theme, ‘Jingle Bell Christmas.’ The judges had a difficult time determining the “best tree” because all the trees were so wonderfully decorated with jingle bells. The Webster Lions Club received this year’s award. They were given a carved ornament declaring them the 2016 winner. They will be able to place that ornament on their Christmas trees in the coming years. The trees can be seen during the Christmas at the Forts celebration on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. The trees will then be donated to Interfaith Caregivers and delivered to the homes of three families in the county.

Secret of a good pie is in the crust Although pie is not difficult to make, it’s usually the crust that intimidates people. But, now that you can buy piecrusts, there is no excuse to not make your own pies.

My dad was a pie maker extraordinaire, but even he no longer makes his own. He even claims the store bought is better, but I beg to differ.

When I have lots of time, I will make a crust, but nowadays, I, too, have resorted to buying piecrusts.

During the holidays I Wild Chow want my food to at least be semi-homemade, exLisa Erickson cept the turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes must be homemade.

For a pie or dessert, it’s not really that big of a deal.

The cool thing about using storebought piecrusts is you can make a couple different kinds of pie in less time then you could make one pie crust.

Cherry Pie Serves 8 Adapted from Peter Sterk 4 cups frozen or fresh tart cherries 1 1/4 cups sugar 4 Tbsp. cornstarch 1 package premade piecrust (save one for another pie) 2 Tbsp. butter

Crumb Topping 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) 1 cup flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. almond extract In a large saucepan, cook cherries over medium heat until they have released some of their juice, about 5-10 minutes.

In a bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add to cherries, stir to fully incorporate and avoid lumps. Return to stove. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool until mixture is warm, but not hot.

For the crumb topping: In another bowl or food processor, combine butter, flour, sugar, salt and almond extract and mix until mixture resembles coarse meal. Take pieces of the dough in your hands and squeeze them together, forming clumps of topping.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a 9-inch pie plate, press piecrust into sides and bottom. Pour in cooled cherry filling. Top with the clumps of topping (break some of the clumps into smaller pieces). Bake for 50 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.

Cool pie and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
