Recount begins in state Supreme Court race

Protector

STATEWIDE - Washburn County Clerk Lynn Hoeppner announced Monday, April 25, that state election officials have formally ordered a recount in the race for state Supreme Court.

The process of recounting votes began this morning, Wednesday, April 27, in Washburn and the state’s 71 other counties.

Under state law, the recount must be completed by Monday, May 9. It’s expected most counties will need only a few days to complete the recount, but some recounts may be conducted on weekends to meet the deadline, according to Mike Haas, an attorney for the Government Accountability Board.

The schedule was spelled out in a teleconference the GAB held for county clerks. Nearly every county clerk in the state participated, many of them with their staff and members of their local canvassing boards.

The April 5 election resulted in a narrow victory for incumbent Justice David Prosser, who defeated Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg by 7,316 votes, or 0.49 percent of the 1.5 million votes cast.

Kloppenburg requested the recount last

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE - On Saturday, April 23, Happy Tonics hosted its annual Earth Day Celebration. The Monarch Butterfly Habitat Sanctuary was full of visitors as the Native American ceremony was held to bless the monarch butterfly on their journey back to Canada. The ceremony was lead by Ojibiwa tribal leaders John Anderson and Ginger Wilcox. The pair provided song, prayer and blessings to creation. Anderson handed out stuffed animals to several children and adults as a reminder to love creation.

John Anderson led the Native American blessing ceremony.

According to Dakota Robinson, the monarch butterfly depends on milkweed to eat as they make their way across North America. The milkweed is diminishing, and the monarch butterfly is at risk because of it. You can purchase milkweed and native crop seed from Happy Tonics. Robinson is a student at Shell Lake Junior High and has volunteered at Happy Tonic for two years.

She spoke about the importance of the monarch butterflies and ways to help.

The reception was held at the Shell Lake Community Center. Local farmers and businesses provided organic food for the event. Bashaw Valley Greenhouse provided raspberries. Little Shepherd Farm provided eggs. The Spooner Bakery brought cookies and grain bread.

School libraries share $33.6 million in Common School Fund payments

APRIL 27, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3

MADISON — Public school districts throughout the state will receive school library aid payments totaling $33.6 million from the Common School Fund, the only state aid specifically designated for the purchase of materials for school libraries.

The breakdown for local school districts are: Birchwood $8,487; Cumberland $34,386; Frederic $20,304; Northwood $12,826; Shell Lake $18,830; Siren $16,593; and Spooner $50,842.

Aid is based on the number of children between the ages of 4 and 20 living in each school district. This year’s school library aid payment was $27.29 per child for 1,231,203 children counted in the 2009-10 school census. Districts must use the aid by June 30 for the purchase of books, media materials or computer equipment that is housed in the school library.

“A strong school library, with adequate resources and staffed by a school library professional, has a positive impact on student achievement,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers. “The Common School Fund aid payment is a welcome investment in our students education.”

The Common School Fund is made up of revenues from civil and criminal fees, fines and forfeitures, timber revenue from public trust lands and revenues from the state’s Unclaimed Property Program. This principal is used to make loans to local governments and school districts through the State Trust Fund Loan Program, invested in state and local bonds, and deposited in the State Investment Fund. Earnings from these programs are paid annually as school library aid The Board of Commissioners of Public Lands manages the Common School

Tech colleges against proposed cuts

by Kristen Durst Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - The state’s technical colleges are arguing that Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed nearly $72 million budget cut to the technical system is counterproductive to his goal of creating 250,000 jobs.

The state’s technical college systems would receive the largest of the governor’s proposed education cuts, a 30-percent decrease in state aid. Lori Weyers, president of Northcentral Technical College in Wausau, says that they’re being hit on all fronts with the proposed state aid cuts, coupled with the governor’s proposed local tax levy freeze.

“Look at the 250,000 jobs they are wanting to be created, 80 percent of those jobs will need skills that are from the technical college system,” says Weyers.

“So it really doesn’t make sense why you would have the most serious cuts to the higher ed organization that’s going to

Brabec said, “It is a waste of taxpayers money. We are paying $25,000 for a membership.”

Congressman Sean Duffy made an appearance at the county board meeting and said he would be happy to help the county find grants available for the county. He also addressed issues with the budget and said, “No changes will be made to state health insurance for senior citizens.” Duffy continued on to talk about health insurance and also offered encouragement to the board.

“When we talk to manufacturers and others around the district, we are beginning to see some loosening and they are beginning to hire, but they are hiring at levels at higher technical expertise than they have in the past, so the technical degrees are key.”

However, Eckert says that significant cuts in the governor’s budget may force them to freeze some programs and that they’ll likely see an increase in waiting lists. At NTC in Wausau, they recently had to lay off 21 employees.

She said it wasn’t just the 14,000-vote glitch in the Waukesha election-night totals that prompted her to ask for a recount, but also undervotes in Milwaukee County and the city of Racine, as well as photocopied ballots used in Fond du Lac, are indications there were possibly other problems with the way the election was run.

In Washburn County, (where Kloppenburg received 2,453 votes to Prosser’s 2,270 votes,) the recount will be held in the meeting room in the lower level of the Law Enforcement Center on Hwy. 63 in Shell Lake. It was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and continue for the following days until the recount is complete. (The recount is open to the public.)

Election officials believe it is just the third statewide recount in state history, following ones in 1989 and 1858. - Gary King with information from Wisconsin Public Radio Shell Lake for a town hall meeting.

After the meeting, he stopped in at the county board and made a short presentation.

The county board authorized a parttime position in one of the four senior centers in Washburn County and authorized a full-time nutritional coordinator for the four centers.

The Washburn County sheriff requested to fill a deputy sheriff position that came vacant. The Washburn County Personnel Committee denied this request. This matter came before the full board and was thoroughly discussed. The board voted 10 ayes and 10 nays, therefore, the position was not filled. I voted not to fill the position as we are expecting dramatic cuts in the state budget. The county should be doing the same. I believe this position can be filled within the sheriff’s department utilizing part-time deputies.

Law aims to repeal mandatory recording of race/ethnicity of motorists by police

by Gil Halsted Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Republican state legislators are moving ahead with a plan to repeal a law passed in 2009 that was seen as a first step in preventing racial profiling by police and sheriff’s deputies.

As of today, all law enforcement agencies are required to fill out a special form describing the race and ethnicity of each motorist they pull over for whatever reason. Some law enforcement call it a waste of time that prevents police from doing more important tasks.

Republican state Rep. Kathy Bernier, Chippewa Falls, is co-sponsoring the bill to repeal the mandate.

“It may prove in this area or that area there is racial profiling, but I don’t feel that this has to be a statewide law in order to deal with a racial profiling incident in a certain agency. And there is not a scientific evaluation of the data collection even scheduled or understood.”

But staff at the Office of Justice Assis-

tance charged with analyzing the data say there is a plan, but it hasn’t been finalized yet, because there’s not enough information yet to begin crunching the numbers.

Madison Police Chief Noble Wray says gathering that data is important if the state is ever going to change its status as the state with the largest per-capita percentage of African Americans in prison.

Wray, who chaired the oversight committee for Gov. Doyle’s Commission on Reducing Racial Disparities in the state’s justice system, says there has to be a continuing focus on the numbers.

“I can recruit, I can hire, I can discipline, I can do all the things necessary for fair and impartial policing,” says Wray.

“But if we are still number one, two or three in having the disparities, we’re going to have a problem with legitimacy.”

The state Senate has already approved repealing the mandate. The Assembly is expected to vote on it soon.

Stop big government

Big government in the Midwest? Government-appointed managers with dictatorial powers taking over from elected officials? Yes, it’s already happening. In Michigan, a so-called financial emergency manager has been appointed by the governor to take dictatorial powers over the city of Benton Harbor. He can “exercise any power or authority of any office, employee, department, board, commission or similar entity of the city, whether elected or appointed.” In addition, the emergency manager has the

power to supersede any officer or entity and the power to act on behalf of the city.

This is the end of representative democracy, and it is taxation without representation. It was made possible by a bill that passed the Michigan Legislature, a bill surely to be challenged in court.

Word is that this legislation is on its way to Wisconsin, that lawyers at the firm of Foley and Lardner have already drafted the bill for Wisconsin, and it is coming to the Legislature in May. Do we not have the right to govern

ourselves in our towns and cities, to run our own school boards? I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, Tea Party or Liberal, this is an assault on our most basic constitutional freedoms. We must band together to stop big government from doing this in Wisconsin.

On April 19, U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy held a town hall meeting in Shell Lake. At this meeting he stated that the federal government must support corporations and big businesses so that they remain attractive to investors, and so that they will create jobs. Moments later, he contradicted himself by speaking of the need to close tax loopholes so that corporations pay more taxes. I’d say that closing loopholes might be in order.

Sen. Bernie Sanders from Vermont put out a “Guide to Corporate Freeloaders” (Google it). Here are a few examples: Exxon Mobil’s profits in 2009 were $19 billion. They paid no taxes and received a $156 million rebate from the IRS.

Bank of America made $26 billion in profits after receiving a $1 trillion bailout and a $1.9 billion refund from the IRS. General Electric made $26 billion, paid no taxes and received a $4.1 billion tax refund. They have also cut 20 percent of their American jobs in the past nine years and are creating jobs overseas in order to avoid future taxes.

The list goes on and on.

So are these bailouts and tax refunds going to innovate and create new jobs?

In our current economy, it’s pretty evident that that’s not the case. One place they are going is to CEO pockets. The average CEO currently makes 343 times more than the average worker in his cor-

poration!

Now our federal government is making plans to gut education, Medicaid and Medicare, etc. This follows on the heels of renewing the Bush-era tax cuts to the top earners in the country. It’s pretty evident that increasing corporate taxes could go a long way to solving our deficit problems, however, the giant lobbying machine and campaign donors in Washington, and Wisconsin, will no doubt keep that from happening. Take a minute and look up the word plutocracy in the dictionary. You’re in one.

Tuesday, April 19, Congressman Sean Duffy visited Shell Lake for a town hall meeting. During the meeting he was challenged for having voted for a bill that would replace Medicare as we know it with a voucher (coupon) system. Interestingly, after denying the program is a voucher system, he declared it is now called premium assistance. Apparently, the polling has shown how unpopular this GOP move is with citizens of our country. So they roll out the same program with a new name. Note the word premium, which refers to Medicare being handed over to our friends from the insurance industry. We all know how much they care about our health. Insurance companies’ first obligation is to their stockholders; they must make money at the expense of paying for your health care.

Watch as other GOP’ers come out referencing the voucher system with the new name they are trying out for size,

premium assistance. The thing is, we’ve peeked behind the curtain so we aren’t as easy to fool anymore.

If this is how Duffy and his friends are going to treat us, then I look forward to him being a one-term congressman. It was great to see Pat Kreitlow announce he’s running. People need a congress-

man like him who would provide experience, competence and a connection to real life, not reality TV. We want respect in our retirement years, not phony vouchers and higher bills.

Driving to Hudson Sunday, April 24, we stopped at Dahlstrom’s Lakeside Market to pick up a Sunday paper for the drive. How happy I was to see a headline on page 2A announcing, “Kreitlow eyeing Duffy’s seat.” Especially after Duffy’s vote Friday, April 15, to end Medicare as we know it, turning it into an insurance-company-run voucher system. Sen. Krietlow will represent Wisconsin’s people well as he works to protect our guaranteed medical care for seniors.

On another topic, Bistro 63 in Barronett, a family favorite of our household, was featured on page 3E and given glowing praise. That article will likely draw tourists to our area as they search out Bistro 63. I’m very proud of Chef Jeno and staff, though we’ll likely have a longer wait to dine there.

SHELL LAKE — The Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake will present a special spring concert featuring Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso who are Small Potatoes.

This Chicago-based duo has been touring on the folk circuit since 1993, and in that time, they’ve become sought-after regulars at many clubs and coffeehouses across the U.S. They have made repeat appearances at major folk festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Walnut Valley Folk Festival and Philadelphia Folk Festival. They were one of the most-requested acts at the 1999 Falcon Ridge New Artist Showcase. Manning is also a past winner of the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Contest.

They call themselves eclecto-maniacs.

They describe their music as “Celtic to Cowboy” and say it has taken them “years of careful indecision” to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues, and swing to Irish, with songwriting that touches on all of those styles and more. Their four recordings, “Alive!,” “Waltz of the Wallflowers,” “Time Flies,” and “Raw” cover all these styles. They both sing, they both play guitars and an array of other instruments. They even yodel. Dirty Linen Magazine called them “one of the most polished, inventive and entertaining shows on the circuit.” Sing Out Maga-

Flag person for a day

A number of years ago, hubby Milt belonged to a motorcycle organization. As an outreach project, the chapter decided to help out with a motocross competition. Milt asked if I would be willing to spend a Sunday in April being a flag person. It didn’t sound too difficult for me, so I agreed.

The day of the race came and it was cold and windy, like the April days we have experienced this year. It was so cold that day that I was Suzanne wearing my snow pants, parka and Johnson snow boots as I stood by a tree at the top of a hill with my yellow warning flag, watching an occasional snowflake fly by. My job was warning the approaching biker if someone had wiped out on the other side of the hill.

Hour after hour on that day I swung my flag as racers laid down their bikes on the curve below the hill. Every once in a

erans Affairs in commemorating the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, which commenced April 12, 1861. The goal is to document the history of those veterans who settled in Washburn County.

And among the many other activities to be scheduled, the WCHS will also match up the list of World War I veterans with the many veterans pictures it has in its archives. Help from the various veterans’ organizations would be appreciated.

The WCHS not only preserves the history and heritage of local citizens, it stresses such history is part of the area’s educational needs. History defines who we are as a people. If you are not now a member of WCHS, please consider joining. It will cost you the staggering sum of $7 per year. Saving the past for the future. — from WCHS

while Milt would yell up to me from his spotter’s point down the trail a bit to see if I was doing OK. Some of these racers were little kids. As they wiped out they would get emotional and want to quit. Their parents’ response was to tell them to get up and get going.

As the dirt got worked up you could see that the frost was still in the ground as icy patches began to appear.

After seven hours of watching biker after biker go round and round the track, the race came to a halt. Yes! I thought, now I am finally done! As we sat around a campfire roasting hot dogs and drinking hot chocolate, the leader of the group said, “After the break, they will go into the final phase of the race.” Hey, wait a minute, this wasn’t the end? I got Milt’s attention and we had a little discussion off to the side away from the group. I informed Milt that I had no intention of staying any longer. How long did they expect the race to last? We were informed it would continue for a few more hours. No way was I going to hang on until the end.

I am not usually a quitter but I had reached my limit.

As the days continued into summer, Milt mentioned that the organization was asked to help flag a race in July. One look at my face and he knew that he didn’t have to bother asking if I wanted to be a flag person required to stand for hours in the hot sun.

SPOONER — Pins for Pets, the sixthannual bowling fundraiser for the Washburn County Area Humane Society, was again hosted by Andrew and JoAnn Licata and their staff at Kegler’s Pub & Pin, in Spooner, on Saturday, April 16.

There were 64 bowlers involved in this 9-pin tap tournament and, thanks to everyone’s generosity, there was $2,500 raised for the WCAHS animal shelter, located at 1400 Cottonwood Ave., at the south end of Spooner, just past the Washburn County Fairgrounds. Part of the bowlers entry fee, individuals bringing in their collected donations, raffles, and silent auction bids brought in this nice amount which will help supplement the ongoing operational needs of this local shelter.

The top bowlers for this event were:

APRIL 27, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 7

by Diane Dryden SPOONER — The Washburn County Fair turns one hundred, 100 days from now – OK, from Saturday, April 30, if you like being exact. What started out as only a race track, then a potato contest, then a 4-H venue, is now back to being emphasized as what it started out to be, a county fair where everyone in the county is encouraged to participate.

Shell Lake woman Charlotte Furchtenicht Thompson spent her life working within the fair, as a 4-H member and then as a 4-H leader. After that she was an associate on the board for years and she has kept meticulous records of the years and the activities through newspaper articles and clippings. She also has access to the valuable scrapbook of Janet McNabb who was a local Shell Lake teacher and avid leader of 4-H groups, which lists events and has priceless photos dating back to 1930s fairs. McNabb’s lifework was so remarkable that she was honored in 1954 at the Wisconsin State Fair for her long and outstanding serv-

According to all of the information available, in 1911 a large racetrack had been constructed north of Spooner’s Poplar Street and horses from all over were brought to compete for a handsome purse. A large grandstand eventually was built because the number of spectators coming to see the races increased each year. It stood pretty much where Northern Sheer Veneer has been built today. The track soon boasted a barn that could hold 20 horses and eventually a large building was constructed for the Boys and Girls Club and it sat more or less where Larsen Auto sits today. If you look farther north of the veneer company and into the wetland, you can still see the ghost of the track where the trees curved around it on the far side, all the way up to the Deer Court Motel on the other side of the road today. Back in those days there was no Hwy. 53 to impede the building of the track because Spooner’s Front Street was the main highway through town. Eventually, as more

100 days and counting

The 1925 Agricultural Fair directors were Mrs. Corthell, assistant in fancywork; Miss Lucy Leonard, county superintendent and director of the education booth; Mrs. Wall, in charge of flowers; Miss Catherine Devereaux, assistant in the education department; Mrs. Johnson, superintendent of fancy goods; Miss Blanch Shonat, assistant secretary of the fair association; and Mrs. Stone, the official head of the department of women’s exhibits in the floral hall.

This year’s special board consists of back row (L to R): Jared Kidder, Mary Dougherty, Pete Hubin, Dan Rosenbush, John Morris and Greg Sandstrom.

Eventually individual townships, which all held their own fairs for years, began to take their things and join the county fair in Spooner.

At that time, the town of Spooner more or less ended at the racetrack/fairground, with River Street running right into the fair’s entrance gate after it crossed Poplar. The U.S. mail route also ended near the track with their long row of individual mailboxes on Elm where it crossed First Street.

There were harness and running races by 1912 with horses being brought in from as far away as Montana. Everything started to pick up after World War I. Even the fair reflected the excitement of having the war over and in 1927 there were Roman standing and chariot races, which overshadowed the harness and running races in interest.

Soon the popular potato clubs began bringing their local specimens of potatoes in, followed quickly by corn display, which was easier seeing the fair used to be held later in the year, often in September or October. Potatoes were a hot local crop and the area was famous for their potatoes and their potato clubs. Later, when the Boys and Girls Club turned into the 4-H movement in 1925, many clubs took the name of their township for their club name, which still holds true today.

The fair was cancelled once, in 1918, when WWI took many of the local men as soldiers and the folks left behind were very concerned about helping the war effort with rationing, substituting and replacing foods with larger gardens and means of preserving. It was also the year that Spooner went “dry” for the first time in its history.

By 1921 the fair was back in full swing with parachute drops from an airplane and target shooting by the Howitzer Co. This was also the year that picric acid was on sale for stumping purposes. Picric acid, being a WWI-salvaged explosive, was used to blow out stumps left over from the logging years to create farmland. Each man could order as much as 500 pounds.

It took a while for individual townships to participate in the county fair. In 1922 the Bashaw Community Club was

still holding their annual township fair late in August and in the local Plainview Schoolhouse, the same little red schoolhouse that is now located among the buildings on the Washburn County Fairgrounds.

At the 1923 fair, state advisory nurse, Mary Dunwiddie, reported that out of 197 children, 50 were underweight and there were 22 seriously underweight. As long as it was a great place to gather, the state took advantage of it. The fair began to be so popular that the downtown stores would often close for a day encouraging everyone to attend. Since the railroad tracks ran almost onto the fairground, many people attended the fair, coming by rail.

By the ‘30s horse racing was over, but there was lots of daily music provided by local bands and one year the Million Dollar Band came and was sponsored by the American Legion. Often included in the festivities was a parade of veterans from WWI and also GAR members from the Civil War and even the home guard marched. All children under the age of 14 were admitted free and the premiums and purses offered amounted to over $5,000. Even J.A. Lonsdorf, the superintendent of schools, composed the Washburn County song, which was to be sung to the tune of “Where the Dear Old Shannon’s Flowing.”

Pigs performed as well as airplanes and kangaroos, and baseball games were the second highlight of the fair, often pitting townships against each other. Congressmen, governors and other political figures often attended, taking advantage of the large groups of voters to extend their message and ask for votes, and in 1920 women celebrated their own newly given right to vote.

Sadly, in 1946 the fair board postponed the fair until October due to the polio outbreak, so that year the fair was held only one day, just enough time for the 4-H clubs to display their work.

Major changes took place in 1947, here again partly to do with the end of another war, WWII, and because tractors were now making most of the farm horses extinct — many of the same horses that had run the races. It was also the era when the Washburn County Agricultural Society lost the fairgrounds for nonpayment on their back taxes be-

Rasmusen and his offer of 12 acres of land where the fair is today, on the south side of the city, that the fair still has a home. The original county fair land reverted back for the county’s use so they built the county shop on the unused and historic property and ran the new highway right through where the old track had stood for years, making Spooner’s Front Street redundant.

During the 1950s the fair was at its height of participants and attendees. Soldiers were home, getting married and buying houses and going to school on the GI Bill. This was also a time of some the nation’s prosperity, depicted by the newspaper ads for rental space at a local frozen food locker. If you rented a locker in 1956 you got 50 pounds of meat wrapped for free. After all, “for only 5 cents a day, why invest in a Deepfreeze?”

Last year, in 2010, the fair board stopped using the word junior in the official name, making it simply the Washburn County Fair like it had been called many years ago. A special group of people joined together as the centennial committee. They have done research as to some of the events a hundred years ago and will be bringing many of them back, like the tug-of-war, this time for both men and women, the slipper kick and lots of games for kids. A special table will be set up to hold all the stateawarded plaques given throughout the years and even though this special team started collecting photos as early as last year’s fair for the 100-Year Photo Gallery, they’re still looking for more.

There will be three bands for your listening and dancing pleasure, starting Thursday night with the 2nd Time Around Band, Friday’s dance music will be provided by the local and fabulous Duck for The Oyster who will not only be playing, but everyone is invited to learn the square dance steps they’ll teach you so you can join the fun. Both of these bands start at 7 p.m. and Saturday’s music, which will start at 8 p.m., will be provided by the Divas through the Decades.

The formal reception will take place on Friday, evening with greetings and congratulations from county officials and a representative from the Veteran’s Services Office followed by the honor guard and band music and centennial cake will be served.

The board members have been planning this celebration for over a year and will be printing over 10,000 brochures, 25 posters and over 200 cow table tents for local restaurants. If you’d like more information on this historic event, which will be held from Wednesday, July 27, through Sunday, July 31, stop at the information booth in Spooner on River Street for a brochure or go directly to the source, washburncountyfair.com. — with help from Rod Ripley, Bob Reiter and Charlotte Thompson

Action Agency in Spooner.

Even though she’s always been an advocate of living green, she hasn’t had much time to share her knowledge and enthusiasm seeing she was busy teaching emergency medicine for 10 years at WITC. Even though she had a finished product on display at Earth Day Shell Lake, and she had all the components displayed that were used in its creation, like the 50-cent fans she got out of a closeout computer parts bin and small solar panels she found for a song, she also said that the Internet is loaded with pop can solar heaters and one just needs to log on and choose.

She does want to remind everyone making this project that even though the tops and bottoms are drilled out of each can and they are held together with adhesive caulking and then sprayed with flat black paint, each can still needs to be thoroughly washed.

“You don’t want your finished project smelling like something died inside; remember this is the air that’s pumped into your living area.”

Spare parts are welcome in the doit-yourself project like these computer f a n s bought for practically nothing.

The project is relatively simple, cans, caulk, paint, hoses, Plexiglas, plywood and studs, but it still needs a few components to actually get the air circulating through the cans and out through the hose in order to be used where needed. These weekend projects are catching on worldwide and, as Menzel says, “If you just change your life one thing at a time, it’s not so overwhelming to be greener. Just think about the difference one individual could make on the Earth and in their home by simply starting with a few changes.”

Before the cans are sprayed black, a final piece of wood is mounted at the end to accommodate the long hose as it winds from one row to the next, collecting the heat.

by Diane Dryden WASHBURN COUNTY - Even though the United States government is giving generous tax breaks this year for individuals investing in wind, solar and geothermal for their homes, the majority of the citizenry still can’t afford the costly initial investment.

This is where Sue Menzel of Hayward comes to the rescue.

“You can make your own solar heater out of used aluminum drink cans and scrap lumber. One guy built a 2-1/2-foot by 7-foot vertical box that he placed outside and heated a 20x30 shed to 58 degrees during the coldest days in winter.”

Menzel was at the Happy Tonics Earth Day celebration in Shell Lake demonstrating how the simple project is made, and she emphasized one of the hardest parts of the project is to find someone who still drinks pop, drinks it in abundance that is, because it takes 72 cans to complete the project.

Menzel is an avid “keeper of the green” with a 900square-foot cabin to her credit that had solar panels – and wind-up and solar radios. She made sure she even used real cloth napkins and cleaning rags and then washed everything by hand.

She lives what she preaches and loves to share that knowledge with the LCO Green Team as well as being a partner with Natural Steps and the Fresh Start program sponsored through the Indianhead Community

Gene Larson with his wife, Janet, on a camping trip last year before he was diagnosed with leukemia.

are now in remission. Larson is back home now, after about a month in the hospital, but still has to travel to Duluth for treatment.

In spite of all the battles Larson continues to face, he has kept positive and his daughter, Sarah Baier, teacher at Hayward schools, has kept a blog of all the daily occurrences and battles conquered. Baier said “Dad’s legs are starting to retain fluid which is to be expected as he has five bags hanging off his ‘tree’ or so he calls it.

But his spirits are high and he is doing awesome!”

This was posted as Mr. Larson was doing chemotherapy. Every day they would count down how many bags of the therapy were left.

Larson spent Christmas in the hospital with some family. He even got a visit from the doctor he saw in Spooner, known as Angie E. He couldn’t believe she stopped by in Duluth to visit. Larson said, “Only in a small town do people care for others the way our town does!” According to Larson’s daughter, Sarah Baier, if

it wasn’t for his doctor Angie E. in Spooner checking him out and pushing to get him to Duluth, who knows what could have happened. “Kudos to Angie E. because you have saved my dad!” said Baier.

Larson mentioned (right after Christmas) that he was ready for a new start in 2011, and he was ready to tackle another year. Baier told her father, “You are one of the strongest people I know. If anyone can tackle this, you can!” They continued to have Larson’s bone marrow checked and only good results have come back now. Larson continues to live life and make people smile. He has not let his battle with leukemia hold him back from enjoying every day.

In an effort to ease the financial burden of the mounting medical bills, Gene Larson’s daughters and friends are having a benefit in his honor. A spaghetti dinner fundraiser will be held at Tony’s Riverside in Spooner on Saturday, April 30, from noon - 4 p.m. Adults are $8 and kids are $4 per plate. There will be a paddle party, silent auction, chinese raffle, bake sale, and ticket raffle with several items. Raffle tickets are available at Tony’s Riverside for $5 each, or five for $20.

Eat out for Free Clinics

NORTHWEST WISCONSIN — The Rice Lake Area Free Clinic is quickly approaching its one-year in operation. The clinic is open the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. They are located on the ground level of the Medical Arts building, with an East Lake side entrance.

The clinic is having the second-annual Eat Out for Free Clinics fundraiser on Thursday, May 12. Restaurants that are hosting this year’s event are Foxxy’s in Spooner and The Spooner Market & Grill, Adventures in Rice Lake, Drag’s Restaurant in Rice Lake and Bistro 63 in Barronett. Each restaurant will be donating a percentage of their gross sales for the night to the Rice Lake Area Free Clinic. There will also be members of the free clinic at each location to answer questions that evening. Everyone who attends will have the opportunity to donate as they see fit. — from Rice Lake Area Free Clinic

Johnson Bank donates $500 to county fair

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE - Every year, hundreds of children go to summer camps. One of the popular camps is Fusion Bible Camp at the Spencer Lake Christian Center in Waupaca. This has been called “The best week of the year!” by several local campers. The children and staff look forward to it all year long. “It isn’t just a camp, it’s an outreach,” said director Gary Hoagland. The Fusion Bible Camp is “Challenging this generation through the camp experience to spiritually impact their world for Christ!”

Lead speaker at the camp this year is Brian Becker. Becker and his wife, Jenn, are church planters and lead pastors of Hopecity Church, a brand-new church in urban southeast Portland Ore. Prior to church planting, the Beckers were youth and associate pastors at truelife church for 12 years where they built a youth ministry from scratch and became known for being used by God to take completely unchurched students and turning them into godly leaders. Known for their clarity, contagious faith, passion for Jesus and enjoyable humor, their vision is to lead more and more people toward a deep life in Christ that changes

everything.

Campers not only participate in church gatherings, but also enjoy meeting new friends, playing lots of games and enjoying several water sports. The children can play volleyball, go swimming and even enjoy tubing behind a boat. The camp also has a huge air launcher, where someone lies on the end of a large 50-plus-foot air raft and another person jumps on the other end to launch the person on the raft into the air and to the water. Camp Fusion is not only about impacting people for Christ, but also about having the best time possible.

Local children are holding a fundraiser at Shell Lake Full Gospel, along with Green Thumb Gardens and Greenhouses in Spooner. The plant sale will go through the second weekend of May, and interested people can purchase the plants at Shell Lake Full Gospel on Sundays after the morning service.

The camp is open to ages 9-18. The cost is $150, with early registration discounts available. More information is available at www.fusionbiblecamp.org.

Obituaries

The editor of a newspaper asked his readers to send in testimonials on the subject, Books that have helped Me. One of the replies was, “My mother’s cookbook, and my father’s checkbook.”

Important books, indeed. But there’s one more important book, the Bible. It’s the source book of our knowledge of God and the guidebook to everlasting life. It teaches us the best way to live, the noblest way to suffer and the most comfortable way to die.

St. Paul wrote, “The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us to do what is right.”

Wisconsinites have a bleak economic outlook

by Patty Murray Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - People in Wisconsin have a dim view of their economic future. The Wisconsin Public RadioSt. Norbert College survey shows respondents think the state’s economy is in even worse shape than that of the nation as a whole.

Survey respondents feel the nation’s economy is now slightly worse off than it was at the same time last year.

Thirty-eight percent say things are worse, and only 30 percent think times are better.

Wendy Scattergood is a survey analyst with St. Norbert College. She says people have an even more pessimistic view of Wisconsin’s economy. She says only 18 percent feel things are better than last year, 45 percent

say they’re worse.

“A lot of it may be all the discussion that’s going on with the state budget and the links of the budget with the economy,” says Scattergood. “Because, certainly if you look at unemployment rates, the unemployment rate is the state as a whole is lower than the unemployment rate for the nation.”

On a personal level, most respondents say they’re either holding steady or are worse off now than they were last year. And Scattergood says people don’t feel so great about their prospects. She tracks the survey back 17 years to 1994 and very few feel they’ll be better off in 2012.

“Usually, people are much more optimistic. The median for the survey since 1994 is 53 percent feeling like they’re going to be better off. This time, it’s 41 percent. So people are still skeptical about their own financial situation as well as the state.”

The survey reached 400 people in Wisconsin via land line telephone. Results were collected in the first two weeks of April.

Finding still waters

I suppose most people have noticed how everything in our lives and in our community seems to be moving at a frantic pace. Here and there, the demands for immediate action are trying to overwhelm us. Even those of us retired and out of the mainstream still feel the pressures of daily life. It’s a wonder how those who continue juggling the demands of their work and the needs of their children can deal with it all. Maybe it has not really speeded up, because I don’t remember a time, even when I was a small child, when everything went along at a slow pace.

Change comes swiftly, at times, and we may have to calm ourselves, and not hope for that far-off and probably never-never land of the impossible, when things calm down. No, I think we have to handle that ourselves. We must learn to relax.

In our family, my mother’s sister, my dear Aunt Min, was a teacher, and she was a big part of our lives, and the lives of my brothers and sisters, when we were growing up. She was unmarried so she spent a lot of time with us. She believed children had to be taught to relax. First you had to choose a place, quiet, in a room away from the normal bustle of family life. Ours was a neighborhood of slamming doors, barking dogs, and a busy street of noisy traffic. The quiet place was almost

Barronett by Judy Pieper

What a beautiful day we had for Easter! The weather was finally nice, warm and sunny. Barronett Lutheran was filled almost to capacity. Lots of families were together again with their college students home for the weekend. Pastor Todd’s wife, Janice, and daughter, Beth, who is finally home from the Middle East, joined us for Easter service. Pastor Jon and Alice Simundson and their family were also visiting with us that morning. I think we had way more than twice our normal attendance. It was wonderful. And, of course. Pastor Todd’s sermon was very inspiring, and Gerri’s music was beautiful, as usual.

All the people who volunteer at Cumberland Memorial Hospital and the Cumberland ECU express gratitude to the Cumberland Memorial Hospital Volunteer Partners for the wonderful volunteer brunch they hosted at Das Lach Haus last week. The volunteer partners go all out to make sure that each volunteer knows how appreciated he/she is. The meal was wonderful.

If anyone left hungry it was certainly his or her own fault. And the entertainment was absolutely great. The band was called Third Sunday Jam, and in addition to playing wonderful bluegrass music, they also told some pretty funny jokes, most of which were at Dr. Lingen’s expense. They even made up a special song for him, but I doubt if you’ll hear him humming it in the hospital corridors. I have to say, he was laughing just as much as the rest of us, and he got in a couple digs of his own.

Trust me on this; we all had a wonderful time.

I just found out that you, too, can enjoy the music and antics of Third Sunday Jam. They meet every third Sunday of every month, hence the name, at Augustana Lutheran Church in Cumberland at 7 p.m. to play. And, I have been informed that they would be delighted to see more people at their jam sessions. Mark it on your calendar, third Sunday, 7 p.m.

Bruce and Ruth Holmes were among the many volunteers at the brunch, so I joined them at their table.

Ruth said that they’ve seen many signs of spring at

nonexistent. To make do, you simply went to a room away from most of the noise. You close your eyes, blot out sounds, and ignore any smells of smoke, cooking odors, or perfumed scents. You had to do it with mind control. For me, turning off my senses was OK, but the sitting still was difficult. I managed to learn her technique, and never took it very seriously. It was kind of like they did at school, when you rested for a few minutes at your desk with your head on your arms and your eyes closed. I learned to calm myself. I guess that was why I could always free my mind from cares and worries for a time and become re-energized. I think it helps you to be a good listener, as well.

Her method was all right for girls, but my brothers would often skip out and get back to their more vigorous lifestyle. They were all three what they now term type-A personalities.

With my children growing up, sometimes they would get stressed out when they had to sit still for any length of time. For instance, when there were tornado warnings, we would go to our basement and wait, sometimes a long time, until we heard the all-clear siren. You get eight kids and a couple of dogs enclosed with nothing to do, it could get tedious. I would try to think of a method to calm the waters. That was when our special way of calming ourselves came in handy. We called it the Quiet Game. The players had to remain quiet and

the first one to break the silence lost. Everyone wanted to win. This meant they would be smirking, making funny motions, clowning to make each other laugh out loud, and pointing at each other and making strange faces. But, they sat still and were able to remain rather calm. With a power outage, it could be played by candlelight. When the game ended and someone had broken down laughing, they would want to begin a new game.

We were often involved in family games. If it was not card games, or Monopoly, or Hide the Thimble, or some kind of ball games, we would do things outdoors. We might have gone walking in the woods, or berry picking, or we might throw together an impromptu picnic, and our swimsuits, to enjoy an afternoon at a nearby lake. But when all was said and done, and we were all confined and quick to get on each other’s nerves, it was the Quiet Game that helped all of us calm down.

Like the fruits of our labor, the fruits of time spent quietly listening, and calming ourselves, were beneficial for all of us, I think. Even today, I can forego the noise and bustle of the media and outside activities and dim out the noise of the spinning world. And I can tune in to the silence that is probably not golden, but certainly as valuable as silver.

their place on Shallow Lake, but one of their favorites is watching the swans. I’m just amazed that we have swans up here now. They never used to come this far north, did they?

Anitia Lehmann called to tell me about a phone call she received on Saturday from Emma O’Neal, her 8year-old granddaughter. Emma and her family were at their cabin on Turtle Lake, and she must have been missing grandma, because when Anitia answered the phone she said “Grandma, I hear you have to go into Cumberland today, and if you’re bored you could come out and visit us.” Is that sweet or what? Needless to say, Don and Anitia spent the afternoon with Emma, Loren, Kevin and Kate.

On Easter Sunday, the Lehmann family were at Craig and Deb’s for the annual dinner/egg hunt/egg toss.

Anitia said it was a perfect day. All the Lehmann sons were there except for Randy and his friend, John Libra, who are in Oregon. Everyone had fun fussing over 4month old Tru. The little ones loved the egg hunt, and the older ones had fun with the egg toss. I think the family gathering at Easter is Deb’s favorite holiday of the year.

The friendly neighborhood moocher, aka Terry Goodrich, had a busy weekend. He traveled to Madison on Saturday to attend the wedding of a friend’s daughter. On his way back home, he stopped at Sparta to pick up the pies promised to him by Diane Barribeau.

There were two, a pumpkin and a lemon meringue.

Terry said that the pies were delicious and well worth going a few miles out of his way to pick up. You did notice that I said, “were.” They were both nearly gone on Sunday evening.

I wonder what Diane thought when she met Terry.

She was probably expecting some poor starving little guy. Truth be known, he probably eats better than most of us.

On Sunday, Terry was invited to Margie and Tom Livingston’s home for dinner. When he went out of his driveway, he discovered that Easter Bunny had been there and left him two pies. Seems that Terry’s driveway is so bad that not even the Easter Bunny will attempt it. After dinner at the Livingston home, Terry came home with all kinds of leftovers, in addition to the two pies left by the Easter Bunny. Not a bad day for a

moocher.

Sherry Holmes called and asked to express appreciation for those that supported the community garage sale; to the vendors and shoppers that made it a huge success. She looks forward to next year’s sale.

I guess that’s about all I have from Barronett this week. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. See you next time.

THANK YOU Thank you for your support & votes in the recent school board election.

I look forward to serving.

I’m sorry, I forgot all about the last meeting, but Connee, our president, gave me a great report. So here it is.

Mary Ann Raesler has been to the advisory committee meeting and said it was light on attendance, and some issues were postponed until next month.

The portion size of the Dining at Five has been questioned. More on that later. Most of the dues have been paid that had to be paid. Sally and Connee attended the public property meeting and discussed putting in a garden. We are approved to put in a movable garden. We don’t know about the watering yet. At the meeting, it was voted that we should not spend more than $600.

Volunteer recognition will be held Thursday, April 28, at 1 p.m., following the noon meal. We will also have a meeting with the elder com phones at 1:30 on the 28th.

Musical evening is stalled for lack of funds. Connee and Mable are going to see what, and if anything, can be done to move this idea ahead. The spring tea with Diane Dryden, which by the way is not political, will be Monday, May 23, at 4 p.m., followed by potluck.

Cost is $5. Dress-up is optional. The center will be rented on the Saturdays of June 25, July 30 and Aug. 30 from 3 to 6 p.m. Mable brought in some sand for the smokers to put their cigarette butts in outside, so they don’t go in the inside garbage can. Thank you Connee for all this information.

My Easter was very nice. My very nice daughter-inlaw, Judy, took me to Becky’s for a great ham dinner. In the afternoon, Doris and I played Rummikubs at the apartment. My daughter, Rita, visited and brought me some Easter lilies. I didn’t get to see Gerry at the nursing home this week. She spent Easter at her son, Bernie’s.

Doris and I are busy helping make blocks for a quilt for the center.

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. ~ Menards flyer

What a beautiful sun-filled day we have here on Easter this April 24. Yes, the sunshine puts all in good moods as it’s nice to have those sunrays comin’ down to us.

Yards are drying up now and lawns and alfalfa fields are greening up. Farmers are getting itchy to get those big Johns in the fields and crank them up on to another growing season.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Jeremiah Petersen, Heidi Rose, Josh Johnson, Darrell Petz and to Chase Redding, all on April 29. Have a great day.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Jameson Stone, to Dalton Schroeder and to a little boy that turns 2 years old, Max Odden, all celebrating their special day April 30.

Happy anniversary to Don and Debbie Doriott as they enjoy their special day together May 1. Many more to you.

Happy birthday to Bryan Knoop and also to nephew Rich Feeney, both on May 1. Have a wonderful day each of you.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Tyler Crosby, to Elmer Talbert and to Edmond Fisher who turns 6 on May 4. Have a wonderful day each of you.

Gas and diesel prices continue to shock us. Yes, gas isn’t far off of $4 per gallon and climbing and diesel is up to $4.19 9/10 a gallon. They tell us on the news we are looking at $6 per gallon of gas by summer. That’s a big ouchie for all of us. Saturday Rory and I headed for Chetek to spend an early Easter with Jeff and Penny Ladd and our three munchkins, Rem, Ry and Ree, along with Paula Cramer and munchkin Kenzie. We all enjoyed dinner together along with cake later. It was such fun to watch their grandkids hunting for eggs and baskets. “I see one” and off they went, gathering that prize and runnin’ on to find the next one. Won’t be long and school will be out. Penny and Jeff got their teaching contracts for next fall through May 2012, which is great to hear. It’s such a mess in Madison now and some schools are laying off their help. One school laid off 7-1/2 employees. Let’s hope they will get things settled in Madison soon.

Table Talk: How do you feel the U.S. economy is doing at this time and if you tell us it’s good, tell us why you feel this way. And if not good, tell us what you see or hear.

Easter Sunday dinner guests at Bob and Marie Lawrence’s were their son, Daniel, and his wife, Stephanie, and the three munchkins Daya, Jordan and Cora. In the afternoon, Bob was trying to teach those three little girls how to play golf. Get-well wishes to Marie who has this terrible cold making house stops along the way.

News from the Fjelstad Palace finds Kris very busy cleaning out her rock gardens. Monday Kris had lunch with six other Red Hat ladies at the Lakeview Bar and Grill in Shell Lake.

They took in lots of interesting speeches along with music and lunch. While at the Fishers they celebrated their son, Edmond Fisher’s, sixth birthday. The gals arrived home at 8 p.m. Sunday evening.

Spending the weekend at Jim Toll’s were Dave Toll and Jim’s wife, Marilyn. Jim says they had a very nice Easter taking ATV rides, lots of family time and Tammy made a wonderful dinner of ham and all the trimmings. Jim tells us he was at Harry and Verna Dahlstrom’s and Dorothy Lashmett’s sale on Saturday. He said they had two auctioneers going at the same time and lots of people showed up despite the cloudy day.

Get-well wishes go out to Marv Knoop who has that bad cold. He’s back on antibiotics at this time. Please keep Marv and Gladys in your special thoughts and prayers. Sunday the Knoop clan gathered at Jerry and Kathy Butenhoff’s for Easter dinner and family time.

Asking Marv how many were there he said only three grandsons and one granddaughter didn’t make the family gathering. Marv also tells us their grandson, Cody Knoop, has only one more week of college and he already has a job in forestry in Michigan. Way to go, Cody!

Get-well wishes go out to Mark Knoop, our Dewey Country chairman, as Mark got sneaked up on with a cold giving him problems.

Talking with my special niece, Janie Lauterbach, she says their little girl, Ellianna, is now crawling and weighs 12 pounds 10 ounces and has two teeth. She is almost 9 months now and nothing misses those little eyes.

She is tiny and very dainty.

Jim and Sandy Atkinson were over Saturday to their

Heart Lake

daughter and family, Lisa and Dan Otto, Marjorie and Charlie for Easter dinner. Also there were Jimmy Atkinson, Kristen, Kim, Jannah and Briann and Pattie and Noel Beaufeaux.

Easter Sunday the Cecil Meltons were at Don and Vicki Trott’s for dinner along with a number of other family members. Robin Melton was up for the weekend and took in the family dinner. The wee ones enjoyed an Easter egg and basket hunt. An update on Karen Melton finds Karen going for a checkup at Rochester due to cancer but tests came back good. Great to hear Karen and Richard.

My little Rory is sniffing and lookin’ at everything while outside. Want to know what he’s discovered this week? Well, he’s discovered birds. Birds will be chatterin’ in our trees by the house and he runs and runs around that tree. Of course, after a while the birds fly and he’s right after them trying to catch them. I wonder if he knows he hasn’t got a chance to catch one of those birds.

Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan spent the weekend at Garry and Beth Crosby’s and the Doug Coyour’s. Chad is on light duty at work at this time due to being so sick and getting hurt.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday. It was good to see the sun and feel its warmth. I think it’s more of the same today.

Several residents here went out with family, and those who stayed here had a typical good Easter dinner.

This is going to be an interesting week if you plan to watch all the wedding festivities on TV. Happy birthday to brother Milton Odden in Rice Lake who had a birthday April 25.

Judy and Myron Bolterman drove to Minot, N.D., to visit with daughter Amy who works there.

D. Helen Pederson is a patient in the local hospital.

We wish her improved health. Helen’s family and Arvid had been with Helen several days but have returned home now that Helen has improved.

Wendell Lee Turpin has been up here from Whiting, Ind., staying with Uncle Peder. He came to Glenview on Thursday and picked up Helen V. (his aunt) and brought her up to see D. Helen at the hospital.

Mary Marschall attended her Tuesday afternoon bowling team banquet at Lakeview Bar and Grill on Tuesday evening.

On Sunday, dinner guests of Mary and John Marschall were Wealthy and Daryl Marschall, Marian Furchtenicht, Sarah Marschall and friend Kyle Mathison, Brady and friend Ashley.

Lillian Ullom had an early Easter dinner with Donna and Norman Ness and Sunday dinner with Mark and Judy in Barronett.

Sympathy to the family of Delores Mortenson, Kenneth’s wife, who passed away last week in Florida.

Sunday afternoon Lillian visited her brother, Marvin, a patient in the Shell Lake hospital. Get-well wishes to you Marvin.

Mavis and Roger Flach entertained their family to an Easter brunch at their home on Sunday. Those attending were son Wayne, Kim and Tarah, of Spooner, Brad and Kelly Flach and Hailey and Steve and Jody Flach, Maddy and Blake and Kelly’s mom, Sally Froelich of

Barron.

Here to spend Easter weekend with relatives were Tim and Sue Pederson of Amherst. Their daughters, Megan and friend Dustin, and Stephanie and friend Cory, all of Eau Claire. They had Easter dinner at Warren and Helen Quam’s. Tim and Sue took Helen V. to church Sunday morning.

On Saturday night, Helen V. went to Becky’s with the Quam family for dinner including Marie and Warren, Pattie Feeney and children, Jane and Rick Lauterbach and family, and Tim and Sue and daughters, Megan and Stephanie and their friends, and Buddy Quam (Gene and Deb’s son). All in all it was an enjoyable evening.

Peder Pederson’s friends, Susie and her son, drove to Curt’s in Hudson and together with Curt’s family went to ABI college in St. Paul for church and then had dinner at Curt and Martha’s home along with their children, Bethany, Phillip and wife, Dexter and Daniel.

On Sunday afternoon, Christopher Bachinski of Superior, who had been turkey hunting in Tomah, picked Helen V. up and they had dinner at Larry and Sue Winner’s in Solon Springs. Also there were Lisa and Ken Walker, and Sara Bachinski and her husband, all of Superior and Greta Bachinski of Eau Claire. Greta had spent the weekend with her mom in Solon Springs and took Helen V. back to Glenview on her way home. It was a busy but an enjoyable day.

Tim and Sue visited D. Helen at the hospital and Jeff and Brenda and their family on Sunday after church.

Home with Jeff and Brenda was Nick of Milwaukee, Brent of River Falls and Aaron of Menominee. Jerid and Rachel, Elizabeth, Daniel and Joshua joined them for dinner.

I’m sure everyone was exhausted Sunday night but it was all fun.

If you want to be the picture of health, make sure you have a happy frame of mind.

Have a good week!

Easter Sunday, what a beautiful day for families to get together, Easter egg hunts and going for a walk.

Even the frogs were happily singing again, having been quieted during cold days and nights.

The purple martins arrived and were just chirping away, buds are enlarging – I noticed that on the lilac bushes – and daffodils are blooming and some folks have gone smelt fishing.

I had a phone visited with Earl Semm, Rice Lake. He reported his wife, Dorothy, was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire with pneumonia about a week ago and her health isn’t very good. On Easter Sunday for dinner the family got together at granddaughter Angie’s. She lives in Eau Claire. So they took turns going to visit Dorothy. Keep them in your special thoughts and prayers.

Willie and Vicki Lombard got together on Saturday in Barronett with her side at her folks, the Leonard Langs for Easter dinner. Sunday, Willie’s mom, Dort Lombard and sister Sue and Tom Miller and brother Ben Lombard of Menomonie were at Willie and Vicki’s for dinner together.

Marilyn Zimmerman had family in for Easter dinner that included Renae, Brian and Jesika, Ivan and Linda Stodola and family, also her stepmom and Stephanie Slabaugh joined them.
