|0HPRLUV} SUHVHQWHG RICE LAKE - Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirsâ€? will be the fall production of the UW-Barron County drama department. The funny, rich, and poignant play will be presented Thursday – Saturday, Nov. 6-8, in the campus Fine Arts Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Winner of the 1983 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, “Brighton Beach Memoirsâ€? is part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy and is the portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, Neil Simon’s alias in the play, is the narrator and central character and is played by Samuel Tonner-Foight of Rice Lake. Dreaming of baseball and girls, he must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother played by Helen Goosby of Barron, overworked father, John Lloyd of Shell Lake and his older brother, Stanley, Roger Mulderink of Chetek. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, Gabby Ashlin of Rice Lake, her two young but rapidly aging daughters, Olivia Jensen of Chetek and Aisha Fultz of Balsam Lake, and you have a recipe for hilarity served up Simon-style. This production is intended for mature audiences. Reservations can be made by calling WKH FDPSXV ER[ RIĂ€FH DW ext. 5457. - from UW-BC

Air ambulance to be based in Siren

North Memorial Air Care to serve region

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer SIREN – An air ambulance, staffed 24/7, will soon be based at the Burnett County Airport at Siren. North Memorial Air Care will start the new service Monday, Nov. 17, with the arrival of the Agusta helicopter and its crew of three. The emergency medical transport will serve the entire region, offering a 15-minute response time to an area that extends to Superior, Hayward, Ladysmith and New Richmond. The Siren location will be the sixth air care base for North Memorial. The new service will respond to calls from medical providers, hospitals and doctors, and from emergency workers at accident scenes. Patients can be transported from anywhere in the region and will be transported to any desired medical facility in the region. While North Memorial Air Care is a division of North Memorial Health Care, a Twin Cities medical provider, the air care serves the entire

It is separate from the ground ambulance service that North Memorial provides by contract with much of Burnett County. North Memorial Air Care has been in service for almost 30 years.

Milltown’s proposed budget up 3.3 percent

Public hearing set for Nov. 10

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer MILLTOWN — The village of Milltown has scheduled a public hearing on the 2015 budget to be held Monday evening,

Nov. 10, 6 p.m., at the village hall. Residents of the village will have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the budget, which will be voted upon at the regular meeting of the village board following the public hearing. 7KH SURSRVHG EXGJHW UHĂ HFWV D

3.3-percent increase in revenue and expenditures over 2014, and a 3-percent increase in the village tax levy. Total proposed expenditures for 2015 are at $699,835, up $22,302 over 2014. The property tax levy is up $11,534, to $396,008. Spread over the taxable property within

the village, the tax levy means that property owners will be paying $9.66 for every $1,000 in equalized property value. Property valued at $100,000 will be assessed $966 in village taxes. This is up $22 over last year, when the taxing mill rate was $9.44 per $1,000 in equalized value.

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE — Monday evening, Nov. 10, the village of Balsam Lake will hold its public hearing on the proposed

2015 budget, followed by the regular board meeting where a final budget will be approved. The board may make changes to the budget prior to approval. The budget hearing will begin at 6:45 p.m. at the village hall. The proposed 2015 budget is about three-quarters of one percent over the

2014 budget, with total revenues and expenditures at $784,925. This is $6,753 more than last year’s budget. Although the proposed 2015 budget is only $6,753 more than last year, the proposed tax levy is up $21,070, or 3.54 percent, to $616,223. This includes a $492,684 general fund levy, a $51,000 library levy,

a $5,000 levy for the dam maintenance fund, and $67,539 for long-term debt. The taxing mill rate will increase to $4.74 per $1,000 in equalized property value. This is up 16 cents per $1,000 over last year. Owners of property valued at $100,000 will pay $474 this year, compared to $458 for 2014.

Nolan defeats Mills in Minnesota 8th District; nail-biter in close, hugely expensive contest TAYLORS FALLS, Minn. – Incumbent Democrat Rick Nolan defeated Republican challenger Stewart Mills III in one of the Midwest’s closest congressional contests, in what also turned out to be among the most expensive congressional races in the nation, with over $14 million being spent. Nolan was able to squeak out a victory over Mills by less than Nolan 2,000 votes, although WKH ÀQDO QXPEHUV ZHUH not available at press time, he had garnered just over 49-percent of the tally to Mills’ 46 percent. The race was among the most conten-

Mills is an executive at his family’s Mills Fleet Farm retail chain and was chastised repeatedly for comments he made on whether the rich are paying their fair share of the tax bill. His lack of political experience, hard conservative stances and even his hairstyle garnered a bevy of attacks from pro-Nolan groups. But the ads underscored the dramatic differences between the two, who exchanged barbs at several debates, and earned the attention of the national media, in part due to their deep left-versus-right stances.

SCF and Dresser elementary schools celebrate Red Ribbon Week ST. CROIX FALLS - Students and staff at the St. Croix Falls Elementary School enjoyed a week of activities focused on making good, healthy choices the week of Oct. 27-31. As their fence sign displayed, students were encouraged to Love Yourself – Be Drug Free! Throughout the week, students learned about how diet and exercise can affect the way they think and feel. Peer pressure, tobacco and saying no were also themes throughout the month. The week began with Follow Your Dreams Day, as four Students Offering Support students helped to kick off the celebration. In addition, four fourth-grade students demonstrated their talents during this event. On Tuesday, students dressed up for Friends Don’t Let Friends Make Bad Choices Day. Wednesday students brought in canned/boxed items for the local food shelf to go along with the theme of the day, We Can Be Drug Free. On Thursday, students Teamed Up to Make Good Choices. Finally, they closed the week with I Mustache You to Be Drug Free Day where students were given a mustache to wear in the morning, as the afternoon consisted of the Halloween parade. – submitted

On the Vikings next drive, Frederic quarterback Austin Ennis broke free on a 15-yard run and Peter Chenal had two powerful gains for 6 and 5 yards, before Ennis connected with Schmidt on a 50yard touchdown pass.

The Vikings responded well, with Ennis connecting with Schmidt on a 33-yard pass play on the Vikings next drive, and Frederic worked the ball to the Falcons 20-yard

It was a blow to Frederic’s momentum, but from that point on the Vikings never surrendered the lead, one of the keys to the win according to Belanger. “They tied, but they were never able to get that lead,â€? Belanger said, adding that another key factor in the win was a total team effort and willingness to not give up even with their backs up against the wall.

Frederic also punted their next possession, but the John Chenal kick was perfect, backing the Falcons to their own 1-yard line. On the third play of the drive, Abbotsford fumbled the ball and the Vikings recovered on the 12yard line.

F A L L Compare and contrast The Frederic Vikings will host a formidable OwenWithee team this Saturday, Nov. 8, at R.P. Glynn Field. (See game stories and commentary elsewhere on these pages.) According to wishoops.net, O-W boasts 2,000-yard runners, including one who has amassed THE SPORTS 1,751 yards and 25 TDs through 11 games. Meanwhile, Frederic’s Peter Chenal has piled up 1,593 yards and 21 touchdowns in nine games while blocking back Irric Erickson, who tallied well over 1,000 yards in 2013, has added 858 yards. The biggest contrast between the two teams lies in the passing game. Although the Vikes are far from what

could be considered a passing team, they nevertheless average about nine throws per game for an average of around 90 yards per game along with 11 TD receptions. Most of the aerial connections have been made between quarterback Austin Ennis and top receiver Zach Schmidt. Meanwhile, O-W has passed only 35 times in 11 games with only one touchdown toss. The Vikes pride themselves in their line play and hope to win Saturday’s battle of the trenches. Expect the likes of Eric Chenal, Zane Matz, Blake Thompson, Zach Williams and company to rise to the occasion against the potent Blackhawks. Other fun facts about the FHS and O-W matchup Frederic’s enrollment is 146 while O-W’s is at 138. O-W’s longtime head coach has some vague Frederic connections. O-W coach Terry Laube was a college football teammate of Frederic 1975 grad Greg Engelhart at UW-Superior. Englehart played quarterback while Laube starred as a linebacker.

Schmidt had four catches for 117 yards and a TD, not to mention a fumble recovery and a game-clinching interception. To top off his memorable afternoon, Schmidt was heard in a postgame interview after the game in a radio broadcast from Kurt Mayer and “Downtownâ€? Dennis Anderson via local WLMX Radio.

This week’s predictions: Due to popular demand, the Prediction King will provide one more remote submission as he wraps up the 2014 gridiron campaign. “I wouldn’t have done it if Frederic wasn’t still in the hunt,� he said from somewhere in Arizona. “Hopefully I’ll have another crack at it next week.�

The Swami replied: “I had to cover my septic line and put away tomato cages and other stuff.�

Helen Wielz of Comstock emailed: “What do you think of Frederic football switching conferences again?â€? The Swami replied: “Bring it on.

In the rut The anticipation RI P\ ÀUVW QLJKW LQ D tree stand was nearly unbearable, so rather than wait any longer I hiked in a few hours earlier than usual for the evening sit. It was brisk, the wind Marty was perfect, but deer didn’t start showing Seeger up until nearly dark. By that time it was the fifth hour on stand, The my back was getting Bottom sore and hands were going numb, but it felt Line like heaven upon hearing the slow crunchstep of hooves coming closer. Only a handful of does and fawns made their appearance that night, without the harassment of any bucks, but I felt lucky to be out once again, and it rekindled my desire to get back out there again the following day.

The only question that lingered that evening and into the next day was why didn’t a single buck show up that evening. A handful of texts and a couple of phone calls later, I was left more confused, as I am every single year when trying to predict the rut. Like me, everyone tries to time it just right, mostly for VFKHGXOLQJ WLPH RII RU Ă€QGLQJ WKDW SUHcise moment to burn up the backlog of VLFN GD\V $QG ZKLOH HYHU\RQH KDV D Ă€UP opinion on what the status of the rut is in their area, I’m typically left with more questions. It’s been a weird year already observing deer sightings to and from work, and reports from others in different counties. Nearly two weeks ago, I got a text from a friend who had just gotten home from a hunt on his property in northern Dunn County. He’d been seeing some buck activity, with mostly smaller bucks. Then, on that same morning of Oct. 25, at around 11 a.m., a trophy buck could be seen from his window, hot on the trail of a doe with another smaller buck not far behind. That was further north in Barron County near Hillsdale. “Another buck just came through. Could there be a hot doe already?â€? he

asked. All I could reply was that it was Oct. 25, and I guessed it was possible, but even I was busy scratching my head. Could the rut be in full swing already? Four days later, at about 12:30 p.m., I too saw a trophy buck. A nine- or 10-pointer standing dumbfounded in the middle of the road, as if hot on a trail of a doe. By then, in my mind at least, the rut was at full speed. I couldn’t wait to get in the woods, but as I was watching that same buck, at no more than 25 yards off the road, I was talking to my father-inlaw on the cell phone. Prior to seeing that buck, he was scratching his head as to why he hadn’t been seeing any deer near his property in northern Dunn County, yet all of my reports indicated that bow hunters should be on stand often, if not all day. Meanwhile, people farther north of Balsam Lake in Polk and Burnett counties were reporting minimal activity. On my next evening in the woods on Halloween, I started seeing bucks on the move. By the end of the evening’s KXQW ,¡G VHHQ Ă€YH GLIIHUHQW VPDOO EXFNV chasing whatever they could see. And if there weren’t any does nearby, they would chase each other. Two spike

bucks, barely bigger than a button buck, bristled up, pinned their ears back and sparred beneath my tree stand. Their antlers were so tiny, you couldn’t hear any antler clicking sounds, but the thrashing of the leaves below seemed to excite a few other small bucks in the area, yet the larger bucks were nowhere to be found. Perhaps there aren’t any larger bucks in the area, but I’ve often noticed that smaller bucks are usually on their hooves early and often throughout all hours of the day, chasing does while the more mature bucks lay low, almost as if to know that most does aren’t quite ready yet. I’ve never relied too much on moon phases, or even other people to dictate when the best time to hunt the rut is, EXW RYHU WKH SDVW VHYHUDO \HDUV WKH ÀUVW week of November, at some point, has paid off in at least seeing one big buck RQ D PLVVLRQ WR ÀQG D GRH 6R LI KLVWRU\ is any indication of when to be on stand, waiting for that trophy buck of a lifetime, we bow hunters better get moving to the ZRRGV 7KH ÀUVW ZHHN RI 1RYHPEHU LV nearly over.

Nelson admitted. “So I’m plenty old enough!â€? Even after they stopped the service and honored her in song and story, she was in shock. Pastor Thompson had her do the after-service greeting with him, allowing the outgoing congregation a chance to personally thank and honor her. They had a special menu of goodies and beverages after the service and Nelson said she was so surprised, she was almost embarrassed by the attention. “It was just such a special day,â€? she said with a grin. “I’m sure I’ll have a chance to play that other music I practiced (from the fake bulletin) some other time!â€? She had a full complement of family and friends in the pews that day, and all of them also had to keep the secret for quite a while, which they somehow pulled off perfectly. “I was totally surprised, overwhelmed and humbled,â€? Nelson said in a note to the congregation. “I haven’t turned my notice in yet, but I am wondering where this 25-year contract is I just signed?â€?

Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer GRANTSBURG – As Claytie Retzer looked over his father’s World War II diaries and photos spread out on his kitchen counter, pride showed on his face. “I think they’re great,â€? said Retzer, of his father’s meticulous recording of history.

IDUPLQJ Roger Strom wet or hot. Historians tell us farmers were actually the ones most opposed to daylight saving time when it was Ă€UVW LPSOHPHQWHG LQ 7KH\ KDG a powerful lobbying force that fought “tooth and nailâ€? against messing with the clock. Most farmers would prefer we leave our timepieces alone. Especially dairy farmers, who have to deal with cows that may not know how to tell time but do have an internal clock that tells them when it’s time for milking. Cows don’t

like changes in their daily schedule and it can impact how much milk they produce. In the spring when clocks are moved ahead, some farmers will slowly ease the girls into an earlier schedule a half-hour at a time. But in the fall, asking a cow to hold onto her milk for an extra hour not only frustrates the cow but can actually cause health problems. Supposedly, the real reason for daylight saving time is to save energy. With more daylight, we spend less on electricity for lighting. However, there have been several studies that show the clock changes have had the opposite effect. The folks with the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the warmer hour of daylight caused higher demand for air-conditioning, more than offsetting the gains from reduced lighting. So if daylight saving time doesn’t

Hospice helps patients and families focus on quality of life November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month SPOONER — All Americans deserve quality care at the end of life – it’s a fundamental part of living. November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, and Regional Hospice Services is committed to raising awareness surrounding the compassionate care that helps patients and families live as fully as possible when coping with life-limiting illness. Hospice is more than traditional health care as it treats the whole person by providing pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support and spiritual care to patients and their families when a cure is not possible. More simply, hospice care supports living one’s life to the fullest and with dignity and respect, regardless of how much time remains. When patients are admitted into hospice care at an appropriate time, their quality of life can actually improve.

Choosing hospice can give patients the care they need, while also providing WKHP ZLWK Ă€QDO PRPHQWV RI MR\ SHDFH and comfort. With hospice, the wishes of the patient and family are always at the center of every care plan. “Hospice is special as it concentrates on care and VXSSRUW ² QRW FXUH Âľ VDLG /\QGD $QGHUson, RN, CHPN, director of clinical care, Regional Hospice Services. “Our highly specialized staff of professionals provides quality medical care while making certain WKDW SDWLHQWV DQG IDPLOLHV Ă€QG GLJQLW\ UHspect and comfort throughout their end of OLIH MRXUQH\ Âľ $V 'RQ 'HDOLQJ D ORFDO YROXQWHHU IRU Regional Hospice Services noted, “When I’m asked why I volunteer for hospice, I explain that it is because hospice was WKHUH IRU P\ IDPLO\ DW D YHU\ GLIĂ€FXOW WLPH in our lives.
