County board votes on redistricting again

Honoring our veterans

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County Board of Supervisors took up the issue of redistricting the county board from 21 to 15 members again at its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

The issue was brought back from the board’s October meeting because Tony Baier, District 18, was not in attendance. Steven Sather, board chair, said that the board’s rules state that an excused absent member can ask for reconsideration of any resolution.

The resolution, if approved, would reduce the size of the county board by six members. The original resolution that started the process of redistricting was approved at the November 2013 county board meeting. Since then an ad hoc redistricting committee undertook the process of redrawing the supervisory district map to have 15 districts.

After undergoing a preliminary public hear-

ing, the final redistricting map came before the county board on Tuesday, Oct. 20, for its final decision, where it failed on a 9 - 11 roll-call vote.

Tony Baier, District 18, stated that he thought with fewer board members there would be a better informed board because more members would be involved in different aspects of the county.

Skip Fielder, District 2, pointed out that they didn’t have an accurate cost savings for redistricting.

David Masterjohn, District 12, stated that for him it wasn’t about how much they would save per meeting but the potential to increase the understanding of where committees are at, because they would have more people on each committee and fewer committees overall.

Shell Lake City Council members resigns

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The letter of resignation by a 2nd Ward alderperson on the Shell Lake City Council was read at the council’s regular monthly meeting on Monday, Nov. 9.

Tara Burns notified the council of her resignation on Friday, Nov. 6, via email. Burns stated that personal reasons impacted her decision to resign.

tended myself to the point of ineffectiveness. I am also taking on a huge project at the arts center, a $5.5 million capital campaign. I have enjoyed working with all of you, and serving my community is very important to me. I thank you for all you do. Please keep up the good work,” wrote Burns.

Due to the timing of Burns’ resignation, it was determined that the vacated seat would not be filled by appointment. Andy Eiche, city administrator, explained that election papers would be taken out on Tuesday, Dec. 1, and the best course of action would be to allow the position to be filled by an elected candidate. In the meantime, Ken Schultz, council chair, was appointed to fill the vacancy on the finance committee.

Pioneer Day part of fourth-grade learning experience Megan Dunlavy is ringing the bell so the students know to change stations at the Shell Lake fourthgrade Pioneer Day held this fall. The students learn about the life of the pioneers by role-playing. They saw a blacksmith work; they learned how to wash clothes with a washboard and also how to make preserves.

Maddie Melton learns that working can be fun as she helps Dan Kevan press the apples in an antique apple press.

Football coach resigns Larry Samson | Staff Writer SHELL LAKE- Coach Mark Lehnherr’s resignation as the head coach of the Shell Lake football program was accepted by the school board at the regular held Monday, Nov. 16.

Lehnherr has been the head coach for Shell Lake for the past 10 years. He was

the defensive coach for the 2004 state championship team and started at the head coaching position the following year when he replaced Matt Cleary, who left to coach the Forest Lake, Minn., team and has been the head coach since.

In his letter to the board, Lehnherr gave no reason for stepping down, stating that

there were so many great years and many great memories.

Superintendent David Bridenhagen said the selection process to replace Lehnherr will begin in January and should wrap up in February.

Johnson and Van Etten receive Trustee of the Year Awards SPOONER — Sheldon Johnson and Mark Van Etten, M.D., were recognized by the Wisconsin Hospital Association on Nov. 4 for their service to the Spooner Health System Board of Directors. Board members Johnson and Van Etten were nominated by Mike Schafer, CEO of Spooner Health System. WHA President/CEO Eric Borgerding presented the awards at a recognition dinner held in Spooner. Johnson and Van Etten were two of only three trustees chosen to be recognized in the entire state of Wisconsin.

Johnson has served on the Spooner board for the past 11 years, including six as chair. Van Etten has been a member of the board for the past 12 years, including four as secretary. Both men have been jointly involved, and assumed leadership roles, in every major initiative the board has been involved with over the past several years, according to Schafer.

“Dr. Van Etten and Sheldon have excelled in their leadership roles and are very deserving of this recognition from

the Wisconsin Hospital Association,” said Schafer. “Both gentlemen are deeply committed to the success of the hospital and to the health of the community. We wouldn’t be where we are today, especially building a replacement hospital, without their extraordinary leadership.”

The Wisconsin Hospital Association, based in Madison, advocates for the ability of its more than 130 hospital and health system members to lead in the provision of high-quality, affordable and accessible health-care services, resulting in healthier Wisconsin communities. — from SHS

County board votes/from page 1 Sue Hansen, District 20, pointed out that there was “overwhelming opposition” to the redistricting and said she thought that was significant.

Dave Wilson, District 11, stated that he felt there would potentially be empty seats come the spring 2016 election regardless if they passed the resolution, because some current board members have stated their intention to not run again.

Keith Trembath, District 9, stated that

the issue of nonparticipation in the county board by residents concerns him and that it is up to all of us to participate, no matter the outcome.

Dell Stoll, District 7, pointed out that there wasn’t one person who came to the board in favor of redistricting.

The resolution failed on a tied 10 - 10 roll-call vote. Those board members who voted yes were: Wilson, Masterjohn, Greg Krantz, Romaine Quinn, James Dohm,

Tony Baier, Steven Sather, Terry Leckel Jr., Skip Fiedler and Clay Halverson. Those members who voted no were: David Haessig, Larry Ford, Sue Hansen, Michael Bobin, Steve Waggoner, Thomas Mackie, Tom Ricci, Dell Stoll, Beth Esser and Keith Trembath.

Youth Government Day held

Students from Birchwood, Northwood, Shell Lake and Spooner school districts attended the Washburn County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10, as part of Youth Government Day. Students observed circuit court in session and attended a portion of the monthly county board meeting where the 2016 budget was approved. Students went to the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office where they took in presentations by Deputy Brendan Harrington with Washburn County K-9 Vador, Chief Deputy Mike Richter talked about preparing for a career in the criminal justice system, and Capt. Tyler Walsh spoke about the Special Response Team. Students were then allowed to try on tactical equipment used in high-risk operations. Government Day is sponsored by Washburn County veterans organizations, and is a great teaching tool for students to see government functioning in day-to-day activities. — Photo by Danielle Danford

Fundraising efforts for Shell Lake Community Center get council approval Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Stephen Smith, representing the Shell Lake Lions Club, came before the Shell Lake City Council on Monday, Nov. 9, to ask for the council’s support in the club’s project to raise $1 million to refurbish or replace the Shell Lake Community Center.

“We are going to go out and ask our friends and neighbors to contribute to this cause because we know the city of Shell Lake just doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to come up with the money to replace or refurbish the community center,” said Smith. The Shell Lake Community Center was built by the Shell Lake Lions Club and donated to the city. Since its construction in 1978, the building is showing its age.

The Shell Lake Community Center was built in 1979. – File photo About a year ago, a citizen committee was formed to look at the costs associated with remodeling or rebuilding the community center. Mike Andrews, 1st Ward alderperson and member of the community center committee, stated that the

committee has put together a tentative set of plans but is waiting to get them back from Lamperts.

Smith explained that the Shell Lake Lions Club community center fundraising will be done through the club’s 501c3

qualified charity designation, where donations to it are tax deductible. The club has already started a fund to replace or refurbish the community center with $5,000 and an additional $100 to cover any potential administrative fees. Their goal is $1 million.

Smith explained that the $1 million goal was decided upon based on tentative sketches to determine an estimated project cost, which came in at over $600,000.

The club decided to set the fundraising goal high and perhaps be able to build for less when the time came. The council unanimously approved a motion to support the Shell Lake Lions Club fundraising for the community center.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Geography Awareness Week Nov. 15-21 What did all of these recent newspaper stories have in common: the train derailment in Watertown and another along the Mississippi River, a proposed megahog farm in Bayfield County, the 40th remembrance of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a discussion of the Enbridge pipeline corridor, the crash of a Russian

jetliner in Egypt and today’s weather?

The answer: Each story had an accompanying map.

As we celebrate Geography Awareness Week from Nov. 15-21, we are reminded that the 2015 theme, Explore! The Power of Maps points us to a tool we all use in our everyday lives, perhaps even more

than we realize. Spatial thinking through maps is one of the most important skills we can develop as we learn geography, history, environmental sciences and so much more.

Students, teachers and parents can go to education.nationalgeographic.com to find a wealth of games, lessons and other ac-

tivities pertaining to maps and mapmaking. You never know, you just might find yourself needing another map tomorrow.

Bewley’s bill for retired law enforcement officers signed into law

MADISON — State Sen. Janet Bewley’s, D-Delta, proposal to fix an oversight in the Concealed Carry Legislation, which passed in 2011 was signed into law this week by Gov. Scott Walker. Bewley was joined at the bill-signing ceremony by her constituent, Paul Stein, Maple, who brought the issue to her attention.

“Paul was the one who informed me that Wisconsin’s concealed carry law did not authorize the Department of Justice to issue certification cards to retired law enforcement officers who reside in Wisconsin but worked for an out-of-state law enforcement agency. He let me know that certification cards were only available to those who retired from Wisconsin and federal law enforcement agencies. When I looked into it, I found out this was an unintentional oversight and started working on a fix,” noted Bewley.

After reaching out to retired law enforcement groups, Bewley drafted a bill to treat all qualified former law enforcement officers in the same way. Bewley teamed up with state Rep. Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc, on the bill that also allows law enforcement officers who retire from an agency that no longer exists to obtain a certification card from the law enforcement agency that assumed the responsibilities and duties of the law enforcement agency that he or she previously worked for.

“I was pleased to work with Rep. Kleefisch on this commonsense proposal that allows all qualified former law enforcement officers who call Wisconsin home the same opportunity to obtain certification cards,” said Bewley. “Now that Assembly Bill 77 has been signed into law, the same set of rules apply for all former law enforcement officers in the state.”

On Wednesday, Nov. 11, Gov. Scott Walker signed legislation authored by state Sen. Janet Bewley to fix an oversight in state law that prevented some qualified retired law enforcement officers from getting concealed carry certification cards.

No names given in eight-car pileup Danielle Danford | Staff writer HAUGEN — An eight-car accident occurred in the early-morning hours on Friday, Nov. 13, at Hwy. 53 and CTH V near Haugen. The accident resulted in three people being injured.

Chris Fitzgerald, Barron County sheriff, stated that “very icy” conditions on two overpasses caused the pileup in the southbound lanes of Hwy. 53 at about 6:20 a.m. The highway was blocked off in both directions for about two hours.

During the accident, a man exited his vehicle and was hit by another vehicle.

The unidentified man was airlifted to a hospital for treatment of injuries that Sheriff Fitzgerald described as serious.

Two other people suffered minor injuries.

The Register has requested the accident reports involved in this pileup for more information about the people involved and particulars of the crash. No information was received by press time.

Locals knit for local kids Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER — It is a happy, productive picture the knitters make, sitting around two tables pushed together in an aisle of the Yellow River Trading Company in Spooner. Colorful skeins of yarn beside them, their needles moving to knit and purl, knit and purl. They call themselves Knits for Kids and their cause is a simple one; to knit cold-weather clothes for local children in need.

“It doesn’t matter if they live in the country, on Second Street or across the river, there are needy kids in Washburn County,” said Betty Dreis, of Spooner. The group formed after Roz Barrick, Spooner, learned to knit on a trip with Donna Dohm because the pair had joined a knitting group that made knitted items for children in need.

“Then I came back to Spooner, and Donna did too, and I said, you know, I think we should do this for our own kiddos here,” said Barrick. Soon the duo turned into a group of four people. Now they are a group of 10 knitters who try to make their group’s weekly meeting, but attendance isn’t required. The knitters behind Knits for Kids just want to get more hats, mittens, scarves and sweaters to children ages kindergarten to 8 years old.

“New knitters welcome. They don’t have to know how to knit, we can teach them how to knit and purl real fast,” said Barrick. They welcome knitters of all levels to join them in their efforts. The group mostly uses simple patterns to make their items and agreed scarves are a good place for someone to start learning.

A local group of knitters has taken up knitting cold-weather items for local children in need. The group, Knits for Kids, welcomes knitters of all levels to join them in their efforts. Shown (L to R): Donna Dohm, Sheryl Green, Roz Barrick, Vivian Rongner, Rena Antonik, Phyllis Sartorius, Sherry Casten and Betty Dreis. — Photo by Danielle Danford “We don’t really hold people to patterns. If they have a pattern they like to work with that’s OK with us,” said Rena Antonik, the members who also came up with the group’s name. The group has several home knitters who submit their knitted items and they will happily accept knitted scarves, hats, mittens, and sweaters separately if knitters prefer knitting a particular item. The items are then given

as a set, with a hat, scarf, pair of mittens and a sweater for each child, working with school principals to match their knitted sets with children that need them.

“We will go where the need is,” said Barrick. Knits for Kids also hopes to inspire people everywhere to knit, especially for those without. Those interested in joining the group are invited to stop in the store and ask for Kim or they can

email Barrick at barrick618@gmail.com or Dohm atdonnadohm@yahoo.com.

Knits for Kids is also happy to accept donations of yarn and provides yarn to knitters that would also like to knit for kids. The group meets every Tuesday from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Yellow River Trading Company in Spooner on the corner of Walnut and Summit streets.

A

ll of us know someone who has been affected by cancer. I believe that many of us also know someone who is or has suffered with some type of memory issue, whether it is a form of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

My friend, Peggy, has two brothers that are currently dealing with memory issues. While visiting together, Peggy told me that she was reading the New York Times best-seller “Still Alice.” I was curious enough that I purchased a copy of the book, too, before I realized it was contemporary fiction.

“Still Alice” is a 2007 novel written by Lisa Genova.

The book is Dr. Alice Howland’s story about early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. As Alice’s story unfolds, with the disease progressing, I found myself answering the same questions that were presented to Alice. What month is it? Can you spell water backwards?

“Still Alice” Beyond the office door Suzanne Johnson

Novelist Genova received a doctorate from Harvard University in neuroscience and taught neuroanatomy at Harvard Medical School. “Still Alice” was her debut

book. She has since published, “Left Neglected,” “Love Anthony” and “Inside the O’Briens.”

In December 2014, “Still Alice” was released in theaters. Julianne Moore won best actress for her portrayal of Alice in this PG-13 movie. Alec Baldwin plays the part of Dr. John Howland, Alice’s husband. At the time that the movie was being made, the director, Richard Glatzer, was battling ALS. He died March 10, 2015, at the age of 63.

I haven’t seen the movie “Still Alice.” I know I would like to. It would be interesting to see how closely the screenplay follows the book.

Even though “Still Alice” isn’t a story written by a person actually suffering from Alzheimer’s, I was still able to get a sense of what the disease does to a person through the words written by Genova.

Memories of the tragedy in Dallas

O

ur tour bus was not the only one to visit Dallas, and we were, like the others, a small group of retired people who were anxious to see the place where President Kennedy was killed more than 50 years ago. The Texas Book Depository is now a museum. Museum guides told us there were most often 6,000 people a day passing through to see the artifacts relating to the tragedy. The window, where the assassin waited as the motorcade taking the president passed by, is boarded off, but a person can look down and see the X on the road where the president’s car had been on that fateful day.

That terrible event is brought back every November to those of us who lived through that time. It left its mark on everyone and the whole nation. Where were you, some may ask, when the president was shot in Dallas? I remember. It was as though a smothering fog enveloped our world. If a president elected to serve four years but only served a thousand days, who had brought a youthful spirit to the White House, could be murdered for being the president, then we could not count on anything.

It was midmorning. I was doing some housework in our home located in one of those housing developments where all the houses look alike. My husband worked the night shift, so he had come into the living room and had the television on. Four of our kids were in school and two small ones were at home, one in bed and one in the high chair. I was loading clothes into the washer in the alcove, near the living room.

An announcement came on the TV, “News Bulletin: From Dallas, Texas. The president has been shot. He has been transported to Parkland Hospital. There is no report on his condition.”

“Doesn’t the president have Secret Service protection? How could a thing like this happen?” I asked.

We were stunned. We scanned the television but there was no more news. Other channels had interrupted programs and newsmen were waiting for further information. We waited anxiously for further news.

It came nearly a half hour later. John F. Kennedy, our president, had died. Walter Cronkite on CBS announced it in tears. It seemed like everyone in the country had been assaulted. He was elected. Not everyone approved of the leadership in Washington, but

Old wife’s tales Mary B. Olsen everyone found the loss of our young president, with a lovely wife and two small children, devastating.

People crowded into churches, and many stood on the streets in shock. Businesses closed and many people left work to be with their families. Family members called and gathered together.

We heard for the next week all the theories about why he died. The main body of news reports echoed the thought that it was the “political climate in Dallas” that was responsible. What speculation! We watched during those trying days on TV as the drama unfolded. We saw the new President Johnson sworn in aboard Air Force One. We saw the grieving widow beside him wearing the bloodstained pink dress. The next day we saw the prisoner, Lee Harvey Oswald, being taken from the jail in Dallas for transfer, and we saw him shot by a man in a black hat who came out of the crowd. We saw the continuous procession of people who paid their respects while the slain president lay in state. We watched the funeral procession in Washington, D.C. We saw the funeral at Arlington National Cemetery and the eternal flame on the grave.

Business in Washington went on. ‘ Many conspiracy theories were circulated, someone had stood on the grassy knoll and fired at the motorcade. Books were written, and films were made, and all kinds of speculation continued and still goes on.

Fast-forward to Dallas, 50 years later. Our little group of tourists stood on the lawn at Dealey Plaza.

We toured the museum. We saw the overpass where the motorcade was headed. We saw the fourth-floor window from which shots were fired. All of us were

Chess tournament finalists

Eighteen players participated in the UW-Barron County Charger Chess Tournament, which was held on campus Thursday, Nov. 5. Players included students, faculty and community members.

Jeremiah Buenger, Eau Claire, took first place, followed by Joe Sienko, Spooner, in second place, and James O’Flanagan, Cumberland, in third place. The UWBC Charger Chess Tournament is held twice annually. The next tournament will be held in spring 2016. The Charger Chess Club, which sponsors the tournament, meets regularly at 4 p.m. on Thursdays during the academic year. Community members are invited to attend these meetings, which are held in The Commons. The chess club adviser is Quentin Vieregge, 715-234-8176, ext. 5438, quentin.vieregge@uwc.edu. Shown (L to R): Joe Sienko, Jeremiah Buenger and Jim O’Flanagan. — Photo submitted

lost in our memories. Everyone remained silent, as if we were visiting a hallowed tomb.

We learned more about the tragedy. Regardless of the numerous conspiracy theories, the Dallas Police force performed well. They quickly learned the name of the man whose rifle was found on the fourth floor.

Less than an hour later a police officer approached Lee Harvey Oswald, who was walking along a Dallas street, to ask him his name. Oswald walked over to the side of the street to where the officer was just getting out of his squad car, took out a handgun, and shot the officer. The officer fell and Oswald shot him again.

There were two eyewitnesses. One man called the dispatcher on the police radio. The policeman was dead.

Then another man trailed Oswald. He had seen the culprit run along the street and enter a theater. Oswald didn’t buy a ticket, just pushed past people and found a seat in the theater. Police were there in a few minutes and arrested him.

It seems like the residents of Dallas know that some people hold them responsible for the assassination.

They are Texans. They have a proud history. They can take it. They lost the Alamo. Weeks later, they won the war at San Jacinto. They became a nation. Then they became a state in the United States. They are sorry it happened there, but they still love their state and Dallas. The climate there is hot and dry, but lately there have been heavy rains and flooding. Everything in Texas is big.

On another bus tour I visited Arlington National Cemetery. I saw the grave of President Kennedy.

There is a flame burning. I cannot help but remember the televised funeral procession, with Mrs. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and other family members and dignitaries following the flag-draped casket and the officer leading a riderless black horse. Near the president’s grave is the grave of Robert Kennedy who was shot less than five years later while campaigning in California. His grave has only a white cross. On May 23, 1994, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was buried there alongside the president. The Kennedys’ son, Patrick, and their stillborn daughter are buried there with them.

Five generations of Packer fans

Since the early 1940s, the Soholt family has been Packer fans. Del, now in his 80s, recalls as a teenager his dad, Ole, and whoever else was out shocking corn, bringing the work to a standstill so they could gather around the radio and listen to the Packer games. Ole was never lucky enough to attend a Packer football game. He lived to be 88 years old and never missed listening to them on the radio, and then when he got a TV, watching the game. Del stated that by the time he left home for college, he was just as devoted to the Packers as his dad was. “When I married and had two boys of my own, they watched every game with me and became loyal fans. Even now, Jeff, living in St. Paul, Minn., and Jerry, living in Sioux Falls, S.D., are diehard fans and have attended Packer games. Jerry has two boys and he has brought them up to be Packer fans as well. Jerry’s son, Josh, lives in Fort Collins, Colo., and has little Jake who just turned 1 year old. As you can see by the picture he is also a Packer fan. Now that’s 75 years of Green Bay Packer loyalty. — Photo submitted

30th-annual Christmas Fund under way SHELL LAKE/SPOONER — The Shell Lake and Spooner/Trego Lions clubs, along with the Spooner Advocate and the Washburn County Register, are proudly sponsoring the 30th-annual Christmas Fund.

Last year the Christmas Fund served over 195 families. Food baskets, along with gift items, were distributed prior to Christmas to less-fortunate families in the Shell Lake and Spooner school districts.

This included the communities of Sarona, Springbrook and Trego.

In Shell Lake, applications to receive a gift basket are available at the Washburn County Human Services Office located in the courthouse and the Washburn County Register newspaper office located in Lake Mall. Applications must be received by Friday, Dec. 11. Baskets will be delivered between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.,

on Friday, Dec. 18.

Donations of money to the Christmas Fund will be used to purchase groceries for each family plus new clothes or toys for children who have not been provided for in other ways. Confidentiality is very important, and names of families are not revealed. Most of the volunteer workers do not know who the recipients are as the information is on a coded system.

If you would like to make a donation to this cause, checks can be made payable to the Christmas Fund and mailed to: Christmas Fund, P.O. Box 321 Spooner, WI 54801.

If you would like to donate new clothing or toys in Shell Lake, a drop-off box is available at the Register newspaper office in Lake Mall and also at the Shell Lake State Bank. — with submitted information

SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Arts Center is pleased to announce that it will kick off its third-annual Art of Film film series this month with a showing of “Primary,” which highlights John F. Kennedy’s trip through Wisconsin during the 1960s presidential primary. The showing is set for Saturday, Nov. 28, 7 p.m., at the Shell Lake Arts Center.

The series will run between November and March and features critically acclaimed films from the United States and around the world. Last season’s film series was well-attended and organizers have assembled another set of outstanding movies, sponsored in part by a grant from the Xcel Energy Foundation.

This is a great opportunity for film lovers to watch highly acclaimed films on a big screen, followed immediately with the opportunity to stay and discuss them. Each film will start off with a short introduction that highlights aspects of filmmaking. Many of these films were not available in area theaters when first released, some were never in wide release and some are just worth seeing again.

The center is excited to feature four different film experts that will present films during the series. Dan Anderson, current Film Making Camp instructor at the SLAC, and MFA candidate for Electronic Integrated Arts at Alfred University in New York State, will host “Primary” on

the 28th. The staff at the arts center feels very fortunate to be able to welcome back Justin Peck, UW-Madison film studies graduate, who will be hosting films on Jan. 9, Jan. 30 and Feb. 27. Kevin Obsatz, filmmaker, writer and adjunct professor of media art at the University of Minnesota, will host with the center in February. Lee Friederich, senior lecturer at UW-Barron County, will host an awardwinning Japanese film on March 12. Final arrangements for three other films are in process.

Films are projected on a 9-by-16 screen in the center’s cafeteria/conference room and there is plenty of seating. Audience members are also welcome to bring their own comfortable folding chairs if they prefer. Popcorn, snacks and beverages will be available.

The arts center is located at 802 First St. in Shell Lake two blocks off Hwy. 63. The south doors that face First Street are the entry doors for the film series. Admission is by freewill donation with a suggested donation of $7 a person.

A full list of show dates and film titles is available by visiting shelllakeartscenter.org, the Shell Lake Arts Center Facebook page and by calling 715-468-2414.

If you would like to be added to the film series email list, please send your contact information to info@shelllakeartscenter. org. — from SLAC

Lions Camp needs your help to collect deer hides SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Lions along with the Spooner-Trego Lions are once again collecting deer hides for Wisconsin Lions Camp.

Hides may be dropped off anytime in the special orange collection boxes now through Wednesday, Dec. 16, in Spooner at the DNR ranger station on Hwy. 70; O’Reilly’s and ShopKo. In Trego hides may be dropped off at the Mobil gas station and in Shell Lake at Shell Lake Marine and Cenex, both on Hwy. 63.

Every deer hide donation will help give a disadvantaged child a free experience of a lifetime. Members from both Lions clubs will regularly pick up the hides and preserve them for delivery in January when they will be sold by the camp.

You may wonder what is Lions Camp?

It is a 440-acre facility in Rosholt about 15 minutes from Stevens Point. The camp is set up to provide a lasting experience at no cost to the camper for children who are blind or visually impaired; children who are deaf or hard of hearing; children with Type 1 and 2 diabetes; adults who are blind or visually impaired; children with intellectual disabilities or educational autism The camp has a 45-acre private lake, 11 year-round cabins, a dining hall, administrative offices, a larger building for conferences and a recycling center for used eye glasses that are sent all over the world

Come to Shell Lake Sharon Tarr | Washburn County Historical Society SHELL LAKE – In 1937, a promotional brochure, “Call O’ The Lakes,” included this page to invite its readers to visit and vacation at Shell Lake.

While the places advertised on the page have mainly passed into longago memories, so much of what was enjoyed back then – beach and picnic grounds, tennis courts, and free movies – is still available today, along with great additions such as the Shell Lake Arts Center, the Museum of Woodcarving, the Washburn County Historical Museum Complex, the Erika Quam Memorial Theatre and the busy campground by the lake.

Perhaps even truer now than it was back then, it could still proudly be said, “Come to Shell Lake, just for fun!”

This is just a glimpse at what will be in the upcoming local history, “Historical Collections of Washburn County,” Volume VI, from Washburn County Historical Society.

Infant/child massage class to be held

SPOONER — Touching and being touched is important for all ages. Infant massage is an ancient parenting tradition that is currently being rediscovered. Learn how to provide this loving touch and develop a special bond with your child through massage.

Sue Temple, therapeutic massage therapist from Baby Yourself Massage, will present a variety of strokes for parents to use on their infants during a class to be held Tuesday, Dec. 1, 10 a.m., at Lakeland Family Resource Center, Spooner.

Class size is limited to five participants and it is preferred that the child is 0-12 months old. Preregistration is required and can be arranged by calling LFRC at 715-635-4669. — from LFRC

wherever they are needed. All facilities are handicapped accessible and built with the young camper in mind.

The goals and objectives of the Wisconsin Lions Camp reflect a true commitment to excellence. The camp’s primary objective is to provide a fun, safe and memorable camping experience that will have a positive impact on the camper ’s life.

This is accomplished through a carefully designed program, which focuses on each camper’s individual needs. A dedicated camp staff plays a key role in achieving these goals for the campers, ensuring that each child will have a very special and memorable experience at the Wisconsin Lions Camp.

“Blind kids can’t go

to outdoor camps and stuff like that …”

This remark by a blind teenager started it all nearly 50 years ago. That chance comment, overheard by a Wisconsin Lions Club member, has turned dream into reality for thousands of youth and adults with disabilities throughout Wisconsin.

Typical camp activities are like at any other summer camp and include nature hikes, campfires, games and skill-building activities like the climbing wall, archery and ropes courses, but here program activities are targeted to each child’s abilities and are paced accordingly to provide each camper with a memorable experience. Since its beginning in 1956, the Wisconsin Lions Camp has been dedicated to providing a quality camping experience free of charge to Wisconsin residents or people attending schools within the state who have disabilities. Nonresidents may apply, but will be accepted only on a space-available basis and are charged a minimal fee.

In addition, the camp’s environmental education, retreat and conference center and team-building programs provide an opportunity for personal development in a safe, accessible environment.

Officers installed during ICHC fall dinner meeting Suzanne Johnson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The installation of officers and the approving of budgets was among the order of business during the Indianhead Community Health Care Inc. fall dinner meeting. President Linda King presided over the meeting held Monday, Nov. 9, at Glenview.

The Love Lite Tree project for this holiday season is officially under way. Donations in memory, honor and recognizing military personnel continues until the tree is lit on Saturday, Dec. 5, during Shell Lake’s Holiday Saturday. The Love Lite Tree will shine in front of Indianhead Medical Center. Funds raised are used toward scholarships for graduating Shell Lake students pursuing a career in the health field and also toward continuing education for those locally working in the health field.

Recipients of the 2015 scholarships were Amy Bouchard, Tia Carlson, Katie Slater and Calista Holman. For those who would like to make a contribution to Love Lites, donations may be dropped off in the business office at the hospital. Donations will

also be accepted at the Shell Lake State Bank on Friday, Nov. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For those wishing to mail a donation, please send to P.O.

The organization also contributed funds toward the concussion ImPACT program at Shell Lake Schools.

western Railroad, but his true passion was the family farm and working the land. Whether it was tilling the soil, logging or collecting sap for maple syrup from his wooded acres, he loved to be outdoors. He began farming with dairy cattle, eventually changing over to beef, before retiring in 2010.

Frank loved music and was a self-taught guitar player.

He was also an avid fisherman and hunter. He looked forward to deer season each year and annual trips to Canada with his family and friends. He found great thrill at sitting around the table “schooling” anyone he could at a round of Cribbage or card games of any kind.

A devoted Christian, Frank was very active with the Spooner Baptist Church, as well as the prison ministry program. The values he instilled in his children through hard work and commitment have proven to be invaluable. He will certainly be missed.

The Last Revel will be in concert Saturday, Nov. 21, at The Potter’s Shed. — Photo submitted SHELL LAKE — The Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake will present a live concert Saturday, Nov. 21, with the nationally acclaimed band, The Last Revel, who will bring their front-porch Americana to the cafe stage at 7 p.m.

Consisting of three members, The Last Revel uses traditional folk-minded threepart harmonies with honest and meaningful lyrics to deliver a passionate and soul-stirring performance. On a backbone of rebellious rock attitude and raw traditional instrumentation, band members pride themselves on an unrelenting work ethic and a deep hunger to write, perform and entertain.

The Last Revel is known for crafting a rowdy live performance that inspires crowds to move to every tune. The Last Revel honed their style at a weekly open mic night at a dive bar in southern Minnesota. Their performance spread by word of mouth until the bar was at maximum capacity every Thursday. When the dance

floor was full, folks danced on tables. The Last Revel strives for such wild performances at every show.

The Last Revel received great response from press and fans alike from their debut full-length release titled “Uprooted” in February of 2014. The Last Revel’s momentum continues to grow, and the band is poised to take their sound to anywhere that welcomes their own brand of lyricdriven, foot-moving folk music.

The concert begins at 7 p.m., but the venue opens at 6 p.m. for pizza, desserts and drinks. Tickets are available at the Potter’s Shed Gallery, on their website or at the door. Call 715-468-4122 for more information or visit ThePottersShed. com. More information on The Last Revel can be found on their website, thelastrevel.com. — from The Potter’s Shed

Psalm 132:1-12, (13-18)

Revised Common Lectionary © 1992 by the Consultation on Common Texts for

Sunday, November 22, 2015 Twenty Fifth Sunday After Pentecost ew of us ever stop to think about the fact that the continents on planet Earth are actually afloat. GeF ologists have discovered that the continents continue to

change their shape and form by moving plates. Volcanoes are the Earth’s heating and air-conditioning vents that are arranged around the plates that allow them to exhale when the heat and pressure build. We live on a dynamic planet that constantly expands and contracts, moves and reshapes itself.

God, our creator, did not begin something and then turn it loose to go its own way. The universe, in all of its many intricacies, reflects purpose and meaning, design and direction. If, as the geologists have proven, the earth is moving and changing and not in a fixed position, where can we find security and stake out a place where we will be safe from all of the turbulence of life?

Scripture always has the answer for life’s essential questions and concerns. Psalm 46 begins with the statement that “God is our refuge, our strength and our help.” That verse is followed by another statement that gives us the assurance that “we need not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea!” In these two verses we are given God’s answer for life’s never-ending uncertainties. When we face times of insecurity and instability “we do not need to fear” because our God who created it all is in all and working out his plan for our lives.

The essential fact, however, is that we must have faith and hope. We must have unquestioning faith in our God who created and now sustains the universe, and everything and everyone in it and on it, and hope in him who does all things well.

Mavis Schlapper is expecting her son Dean, from Austin, Texas, and her son Wayne, from Stevens Point, for the first weekend of the hunt. She said she was having the rest of the family in on Saturday night for an early Thanksgiving dinner together.

Al and Jolene Loew’s daughters and husbands and kids came for their mom’s birthday last weekend, which were Sue and David Halama, Kaitlyn and Andrew and his friend from Menomonie, and Tami and Ray Clarke, Michael and Christina, Villa Park, Ill. They played board games, had a slumber party and food along with a special cake. Belated wishes, Jolene.

Virginia Stodola is happy to be home after the threeweek stay in the hospital in October. Dave and Cathy and Jack have been taking turns staying with her.

Bob Mallard, Chetek, was at his cabin on Round Lake getting ready for hunting during the week and had stopped and visited the Anton Freys.

Jeff Johnston went pheasant hunting in the Dakotas.

Jan had supper at her folks on Sunday night.

Reports are Anton Frey’s sister, Irene Glessing, had a

really nice 100th birthday party at the Catholic church in Shell Lake on Saturday afternoon with lots of family and many friends there to help her celebrate. Irene is doing well and is a happy person. Keep healthy and happy now. God’s blessings to you, Irene.

Sue Krantz spent the past week in Madison for work.

Their family is getting ready for the hunt, too.

My daughter, Mary Marschall, brought me home from the Shell Lake swing bed unit on Tuesday. Daughter Cindy Wilkans, Fox River Grove, Ill., came to be with me from Tuesday until Sunday. That was so nice. She is a very ambitious, organized daughter who got a lot done.

All my kids have been in and out, fixing a ramp, putting in a higher stool and doing stuff. I’m sure not lacking.

Bonnie Helmer stayed with me overnight on Sunday Since I got home, I’ve had lots of company. My sister Verna Clyde, from Inver Grove Heights, Minn., visited her along with her daughter, Karen. Richard Olson from Mackey Valley came one day. Others here were the Loews, Janet Zimmerman, Mavis Schlapper, Tami Dennis, Elaine Ryan, also grandson Duane Swanson and fiancée and Cacey and her daughter Kayla, Menomonie.

Reports are the Sarona Methodist Church’s Meal in a

Peel turned out really nice with over 150 attending.

Sympathy to my cousin’s wife, Carol Anderson, and family, Anah, in the recent death of Frankie Anderson, whose funeral will be Friday, Nov. 20, 11 a.m., at the Spooner Baptist Church with visitation one hour before.

Famous Dave’s opened a place in Rice Lake recently so now it’s closer to go and enjoy those BBQ ribs. It’s right across the highway from Gordy’s grocery store.

Spooner FFA attends LAVA workshop BALSAM LAKE — After having some fun with fellow FFA members from across the northwestern part of the state at the FFA Volleyball Tournament hosted by the Amery FFA on Thursday, Nov. 5, the Spooner FFA participated in the final leadership workshop of the fall season. Susan Anderson, Blake Bartle, Sydni Christman, Kayla Ferguson, Brittany Lester, Olivia Macknick, Brandi Predni, Jackie Rosenbush, Mariah Skogstad and Abby Zehm of the Spooner FFA Chapter attended the LAVA Workshop Saturday, Nov. 7, at Unity High School. The workshop helps FFA members discover opportunities in the FFA organization and gain valuable food resources and supervised agricultural experience program knowledge.

The LAVA workshop is designed to inform FFA members about the organization and motivate them to participate in its many activities.

The Unity FFA chapter conducted the workshop. The workshop was focused on

utilizing local food resources and developing SAE programs. Students started their workshop by harvesting and preparing a part of their lunch from the school garden.

The focus then turned to FFA opportunities, and students were encouraged to set goals for their FFA involvement, particularly their SAE program. They were also encouraged to network with other FFA members from around the state who can help them reach those goals. Following lunch, students had an opportunity to complete a glass-etching project based on their current SAE program.

Not only does this workshop help students understand a little more about the FFA organization and all of its opportunities, but also helps them develop skills in meeting people, working with others and setting goals with a plan of action. — from Spooner FFA

The Scandinavian smorgasbord, hosted

by Oak View Adult Family Home Saturday, Nov. 14, was a huge success. We started serving at about 4 p.m., and were busy keeping the serving dishes full until about 7 p.m. We had so many guests that we had to send people out to buy more ham and veggies. Whew! It was absolutely great. We are already making plans for next year’s dinner. We’ll buy more groceries next year and, hopefully, have so many people that we’ll run out again.

All the money taken in at the smorgasbord will go to Oak View’s activity fund. It will be used for our Valentine’s Day party, Halloween party, movies, bowling, and trips to places such as Wilderness Walk, the aquarium in Duluth, etc. Gratitude is extended to everyone who came to enjoy the food and conversation, and who gave us such nice compliments. You have no idea how much we appreciated it.

I would like to acknowledge everyone who helped with the baking, cooking and serving. Anitia Lehmann came over to our house on Friday morning and helped make lefse. She also helped all afternoon and evening on Saturday at the community center. Cheryl Jaastad came and helped in the kitchen all afternoon and most of the evening. No matter how many times I told her to sit down and take a break, she just kept working. I think we can start calling her the Energizer Bunny. Jessi Stouffer and her friend, Danielle, were on the run

Stone Lake

all evening cleaning tables, pouring water and coffee, filling serving dishes, and doing anything else that we asked them to. Jessi’s friends, Amy and Adam, came later to help with cleanup. Sharai Hefty worked all day at the Red Brick, and then came and worked all night in the kitchen with us. That was way above and beyond the call of duty. Lynn, Garett and Kandice and little baby Kane Thon were there, working in the kitchen, serving food and drinks, and taking care of the craft/bake sale table. Actually, Kane was just cute. He was our PR guy. Duane was our official fruit soup server. He also helped a lot with cleanup. And, we had one more woman helping in the kitchen who asked me not to put her name in the paper. She is an expert in kitchen organization and cooking, and I’m sure we drove her completely insane because we are pretty inept, but she stayed and helped all evening and we really appreciated it.

Sue Meier came all the way up from Monroe for the weekend just to help out at the smorgasbord. She and Lynn Thon stood over a hot krumkake iron for about three hours on Friday evening making the cookies. Then, on Saturday, she worked along with the rest of us all day getting ready and then into the evening serving food and cleaning up. On Sunday, after church, we went to Hilltop for breakfast, rested and relaxed, and then went to Bistro 63 for supper. It wasn’t exactly a relaxing

Now she is safe, she is warm and she’s fed, Plus her soft fuzzy blanket’s a comfortable bed.

This gentle gray kitten with warm amber eyes, Might lead one to think that she just might be shy.

However, when she is let out to have fun, Gemma seems to prefer to be the only one.

She’ll growl at the others and chase them away, You’d think with the others this kitten would play.

Gemma likes people, she thinks they’re the best, Holding her in your arms, that’s her request.

She’d love to be home before Thanksgiving Day, If kittens said prayers that’s what Gemma would pray.

girls’ weekend out like we usually have when she comes up, but she seemed to be enjoying herself anyway. She had some great ideas about how to organize things a little better next year, which means that she plans to come back and help then. Hmmm.

Must be a glutton for punishment.

Merl and Shirley came up from River Falls to join us at the smorgasbord, and Shirley brought a pan of cranberry bars for the dessert table. We were so glad to see them, but we didn’t have enough time to visit so we hope they’ll come back soon when we can sit, relax and chat.

Pat Sweet sent a pan of delicious pumpkin bars for the dessert table. And, she and Doug were there for the meal that evening.

Mike and Mary Jane Mohlin came up from Shakopee, Minn., to visit. While Mike and Duane relaxed and did guy things, Mary Jane helped us with the decorating and cooking.

Even little Wrig Marsh got in on the action. He came to visit me on Thursday, and we made bundt cakes. He took his cake home to share with Oliver Barta and Vada Ritchie.

OK, I know, enough about the smorgasbord. But it was just such a big deal for us that I can’t stop thinking about it.

The hunters soup and stew supper

Heart Lake We’ve had nice weather over the weekend. The sun has been shining brightly. I think most of the birds have left for the south except the crows. We have huge crows flying around here.

Are you getting a little tired of all the campaigning like I am? But, of course that’s normal before elections.

Lillian Ullom went to the Catholic church for the birthday party of Irene Glessing. Congratulations Irene!

Lillian’s sisters, Louise and Margaret, were up for the weekend who planned to stay for the chicken dinner at Salem Church on Tuesday evening. It is always very good. There were also craft items for sale.

Talking with Peder Pederson, he had talked to his oldest sister, Hazel Whittler, in Tampa, Fla., and is doing really well at 98 years. Her youngest son, Harlen, is living with her and doing all the housework and cooking. Of course, he gets his golfing in, too. We’re thinking of you, Hazel.

Dewey-LaFollette Mary Dunn, Marlene Swearingen, Lorri McQuade, Nina Hines, Lida Nordquist, and Diana and Karen Mangelsen were guests of Donna Hines on Tuesday. They spent the afternoon visiting and playing cards.

Pam and Dave Dunn, and Karen and Hank Mangelsen were supper guests of Terecia and Dennis Zwart on Tuesday. All enjoyed the wonderful food and good fellowship.

Byron Baker was presented with a Quilt of Valor on Wednesday, Nov. 11, during the Veterans Day program at the Spooner High School. The quilt came from the Quilt of Valor Foundation and was given to Byron to honor him for his military service. Mary Dunn, Dave Dunn and Janice Fenniman attended the program, also.

Hank and Karen Mangelsen were among a large number of people who attended the Veterans Day program at the Siren School on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Several veterans, who had been specifically invited by family members from the Siren School, were introduced individually and honored for their military service. Hank was the guest of granddaughter Grace Mangelsen.

hosted by Barronett Civic Club members Friday evening, Nov. 13, was a big success, too. The food was delicious and the desserts were to die for. Kari Nesseth-Klein was the lucky raffle ticket holder. She won the rifle. Congratulations, Kari. Sharai Hefty made out like a bandit on the meat raffles. She bought five tickets and won three times. She also won a basket of wine on the wheel of fortune raffle. Everyone had a great time eating, visiting and laughing.

I’m sure you are well aware that deer season starts Saturday, Nov. 21. Duane and I are not hunters, but we’ll have a big batch of chili cooking for our friends and relatives who would like to stop by and warm up between drives. We hope that everyone has a successful and safe hunting season.

Be careful — it’s a forest out there.

I bet the hunters are the only ones who do not like this beautiful weather we’ve been having. Maybe we’ll get a little cold weather and snow before the weekend.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Thanks again to everyone for coming to our dinner last Saturday. Our guys and ladies are really going to enjoy the outings. See you next time.

Helen V. Pederson Nick and Aaron Pederson visited Jeff and Brent and Nicole over the weekend.

It’s countdown week. Yes, it’s only five more days until deer season starts. And you can bet those hunters are hot to trot with that deer fever. I know in Burnett County only bucks can be shot. No does this year. I certainly don’t see any deer around my place. It seems everyone says the same thing, “no deer!” I just hope the DNR wakes up soon and gives the farmers and others more tags for those bears we have around. I was told that a fellow was going to his stand to bow hunt and almost stepped on a bear. This guy had his dog along. Uff-da.

A very happy birthday to Scott Hotchkiss on his birthday Nov. 19 and also to Liam Kaiser. A big happy birthday to Ruby Erickson on her birthday Nov. 19. All have a wonderful day.

Nov. 20, a very happy birthday to Rachel Jensen as she enjoys that birthday. Have a wonderful day, Rachel.

Phyllis Rath, a very happy birthday to you on Nov. 21.

Have a happy day, Phyllis.

Nov. 22, a very happy birthday to Debbie Quam, Everett Lindstrom, Frank Taylor and Hailey Stariha, daughter of Justin and Katie Stariha. Have a wonderful day.

Bennie LaVeau, a very happy birthday to you on Nov. 23, when you turn another year older and have many more.

Happy birthday to Desiree Hartwig, Faith Petersen, Ron Atkinson and Kelly Dahlstrom on Nov. 24. All have a great day.

At the Jim Atkinsons’ was Noel Beaufeaux who was hunting. Haven’t heard if Noel connected yet.

Monday found Diane Hulleman at Terraceview making apple bread. This week they will once again make apple bread and orange cranberry bread. This will be used by the Terraceview residents at a fundraiser. Tuesday Diane worked at Shell Lake Schools and in the evening she volunteered at Lakeview Medical Center.

Friday, Ginny Schnell and her grandson, Jackson, were out to Diane’s and had lunch with her. Sunday, Mike and Nancy Murray, Rice Lake, were at Diane’s and enjoyed a great visit and a wonderful dinner Diane had made.

Ann Johnson has been feeding the deer. Yes, she said she has deer coming and eating the apples off her tree.

She says she canned and froze so many apples she can’t take any more. So every day Ann goes out and shakes the apple tree so the deer are fed. Maybe you should feed those deer in hunting season and keep them alive so we still have a few in Dewey Country.

Chad Jensen was at Diane Hulleman’s Sunday through

Commanders Club

Wednesday hunting and was back for the weekend. Friday, Colleen Jensen went with some girlfriends for a girls weekend. They came home Sunday.

Talking with Janie Lauterbach and Marie Quam, they tell me Noel Lauterbach spent Thursday until Sunday morning with the Quams. That little boy just loves to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s and they certainly look out for him. Understand Noel is going deer hunting and sitting with Uncle Jim. What a nice thing to do, Jim. Noel’s birthday is Dec. 21 and his pa, Rick, plans on taking Noel to the Target Center in the Twin Cities where I think they will watch racing. Noel is really into this and so is Rick.

While at the Quams’, Noel went coon hunting with his uncle, Mike. I understand the coon they got was a little more than Noel could carry. Janie tells us she belongs to the Moms Club and they got together and made 46 bags of goodies for the wee ones. Ah yes, congratulations to Allysha Feeney who is now engaged to Austin. Allysha works at the Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake and is online for her college courses.

Wednesday, Garry and Beth Crosby went to Darrel and Kim Crosby’s. Kim was in surgery and they went down for Darrel and Kim’s sake. On the way home they stopped and saw Chad and Ashley Crosby and family.

Garry drove home in that hard rain we had and both Garry and Beth said “Amen” when they got home. Chad, Ashley, Chase, Morgan and Joyel were at the Crosbys’ and Coyours’ this weekend. I image Chad will be up for deer hunting as he’s always hunted before with the Crosby clan. Saturday night, anyone that wanted to have supper at the Crosbys’ came. Tyler Crosby started school in Madison last Monday. He also came home and was helping his dad and uncle with combining.

Well if you didn’t get any apples from Smith’s Poquette Lake this last weekend, along with the goodies Lynn makes, you are out of luck. Yes, the apple orchard is now closed for the season. I imagine Lynn is saying, “Amen!” and maybe can now relax in between cleaning up the apple shop, etc.

The Green Bay Packers lost again, this time by two points. They played Detroit. Such a shame, you Packers.

We want to see you win every time.

Please keep Sandy Atkinson in your thoughts and prayers. She has been in the hospital. Sandy is married to Jodie Atkinson and is a niece of Jim and Sandy Atkinson.

Bailey Atkinson is only 2 years old. I had it in the paper that she was Jodie’s great-great-granddaughter and Jodie is her grandpa. Myrna Atkinson tells us Kurt and she are great-grandparents.

It’s to get cold this week. I guess it’s time for it. We need snow for the upcoming deer season so please pray

for snow. The hunters need it.

Saturday, Nov. 14, Ruby’s Pantry came to Spooner.

I worked at it, getting things out on tables and giving away food as people came through the lines. Anyone that’s hungry can get this food with no restrictions. I guess I worked about 3-1/2 hours and it was kind of fun to talk to another person besides my two pups and my cat. People coming through always said, “thank you,” which was really nice.

The coyotes are a-howling across on Duane Johnson’s.

They make a yellow stripe down my back. It’s time for hunters to take a pile of these out.

Wasn’t that terrible in Paris? Yes, I think they had 129 dead and 352 injured. I’m sure the people of France are kind of numb from this attack. I just hope all the countries go together and bomb Isis. They’re certainly not anything anybody would like to live by.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week.

Washburn County second lowest alcohol-related crashes SHELL LAKE — The state of Wisconsin has released the latest alcohol-related crash data for the entire state by county.

“The fact that Washburn County has the second lowest alcohol-related crashes in the state from 2011-2015, in my opinion, is a direct result of all of our law enforcement officers in this county. Our officers’ efforts to remove from the roadway those driving impaired, not only has the immediate effect for saving the life or preventing injury of the impaired but others as well,” stated Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden.

Officers from the Spooner Police, Birchwood Police, Minong Police, Shell Lake Police, Wisconsin State Patrol and the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office are well-trained in the detection of impaired drivers by alcohol or drugs. To further complement these efforts, there are two

programs offered to the offender through Washburn County’s Criminal Justice Programs, Drug Court and the Intoxicated Driver Intervention Program. “Both of these programs offer the offender early treatment for their substance abuse, and we believe these programs are having an effect on Washburn County’s crash data,” stated Dryden.

Arrests and booking at the Washburn County Jail for alcohol- or drug-related OWI, not crashes were: 2010: 183 2011: 131 2012: 146 2013: 133 2014: 118 2015: 111 year to date as of May 20.
