County board size will stay at 21

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The Washburn County Board voted to keep their board size at 21 members at their regular monthy meeting, Tuesday, Jan. 18.

The county’s executive committee made a recommendation to the full county board to downsize, but supervisors discussed the concerns of downsizing before coming to a vote of keeping the board size as it is.

Gregory Krantz, of District 13, brought to light the fact that downsizing could mean all the meetings could be held close together and cut down expenses on travel and time. Thomas Mackie, of District 5, expressed concern that downsizing would mean rural areas would not be represented as well.

Sheriff addresses security of elected officials

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE - Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden addressed the security of elected officials at the law enforcement/emergency management committee meeting on Friday, Jan. 14.

In the wake of the Tucson, Ariz., tragedy, people are questioning the security of local officials. Dryden stated there are security cameras in the courthouse and all around the grounds and are all monitored by officers. The security currently in place is sufficient for the area’s needs, Dryden stated. He also said that if high-profile people come to the area, the sheriff’s department offers more se-

Jack Frost Fest

New this year at the Jack Frost Festival was the sleigh ride around the hockey ponds. Free skating and sledding added to the family fun.

LEFT - Four-year-old Carter Wiemeri in his first snowshoe contest. A special sprint for the younger children was held after the main race.

Lloyd Thomas, Hayward, sits on one of the rarest snowmobiles at the antique snowmobile show. It is a 1962 HusSki 200A series. The 8 h.p. machine was made in Canada and was used by loggers, hunters and trappers to help get around in the deep snow. A 1963 Fox-Trac made in Janesville is the other early snowmobile he owns.

The winners in the Jack’s Snowshoe Jaunt braved the cold weather Saturday morning, Jan. 15, to compete for the fastest on snowshoes. First, second and third were Jimmy Jochimsen, Paul Hanson and Don Meck in the men’s class. In the women’s class it was Nicole Finstad in first, Stacy Wiemeri in second, and sharing third place were Katie Eichten and Bethany Deneen.

The jury trial has been set for Aug. 1-10.

Judge Babbitt from Barron County will be officiating the case. Jury members will be from outside of the county and brought in for the trial. Carsello has already admitted to shooting Elliott, and he is claiming he shot Elliott in self-defense, saying he was scared for his life.

The Register will be following the trial.

Open enrollment begins Feb. 7 The Shell Lake School will administer its Public Open Enrollment Policy in accordance with the State Public School Open Enrollment Law. Open enroll-

by Jessica Beecroft STATEWIDE - On Feb. 1, a new law requiring carbon monoxide detectors in all residential dwellings will go into effect. Lawmakers who worked on the law say they wanted to do everything they could to save more lives and say this rule is a way to get that point across.

The law requires detectors on every level of the home, including the basement, but not the attic or storage areas.

Supporters say the requirement will save lives, even though there is no penalty for ignoring it.

Any dwelling that requires a building permit will be required to have carbon monoxide detectors directly wired to the electrical service, with a backup battery.

Existing buildings can use stand-alone battery-powered detectors.

“According to the American Medical Association, CO poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning in the U.S.,” said Department of Commerce Secretary Paul Jadin. “CO alarms have shown their effectiveness in alerting occupants to the presence of this poisonous gas.”

Terry Leckel, of the Shell Lake Fire Department, says having a carbon monoxide detector in your home could save your life. “People don’t realize it’s free for the fire department to come check.”

Leckel stated. The fire department will come to your home if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning.

School board seats open The school board has two seats opening up, and only one candidate has come forward to run. Interested parties are encouraged to come forward. Persons do not need to have experience. It’s important to listen to the issues and have a good opinion to share. The board deals with everything from budget issues, to curriculum, to class schedules, and everything in between. Student life is directly affected by issues the school board deals with. If you want to be part of planning, consider running.

vice chair of the board, motioned to amend the size of the board to 11. This motion was denied.

Tim Brabec, of District 12, then motioned to amend the size of the board to 15, and that was also denied. The final vote for the board to stay at 21 was passed in a 13 to 8 vote. The new district maps will be drawn this year, and 21 is still the magic number.

Data collection grant A traffic stop data collection grant was offered to the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department after the mandate requiring officers collect race data on all individuals they stop or arrest. With every traffic stop, the officer must now ask the people in the vehicle their race and report this information to Madison. Although most of the public does not agree with this mandate, it do come with funds. After a long discussion, the vote was made to accept the traffic stop data collection grant.

David Haessig, of District 14, re-

Even recently, families in the area have had gas leaks and suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Most people just believe they have the flu, as symptoms are very similar. Symptoms vary from person to person. Those at high risk include young children, the elderly, persons with lung or heart disease, people at high altitudes and smokers.

Carbon monoxide has been dubbed the “silent killer” because it cannot be detected by human senses. When you breathe in carbon monoxide, the poison replaces the oxygen in your bloodstream. Your heart, brain and body will become starved of oxygen. Citizens are being urged to make sure to install a carbon monoxide detector in their home.

The Washburn County Board discusses downsizing at the Jan. 18 meeting.

minded the board that the state has unfunded mandates and this mandate has the funds, so they should take the money. Dan Hubin, of District 21, on the other hand, indicated that we need to send a message to the state that they did not agree with this mandate and should deny the grant funds until the board can submit a resolution of disapproval to the state board.

Several board members agreed with the need to show disapproval of this mandate, but believe the grant funds

should be approved and used while the funds are available, and then encourage all committees and the public to write letters of disapproval of the new racial profiling mandate.

Don Quinton, of District 18, 1st vice chair, broughtto light the fact that this mandate, however wrong they feel it is, was made to stop abuse and to be a tool for the state to see if and where abuse is occurring.

County board chooses new member

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Washburn County Board supervisors chose Jim Pierson of Minong to become the newest county board member in a vote taken during the board’s regular monthly meeting, Tuesday evening, Jan. 18.

Pierson will be representing District 1, replacing Michael Bobin. Pierson was running along with Terry Sather. Each candidate had five minutes to make a statement to the board and then an anonymous vote was cast.

Terry Sather, of Minong, is a graduate of UW- Stout, where he graduated with a major in golf enterprise and a minor in business. Sather discussed how important it is to be able to take the concerns of the public to the board for discussion and expressed how he felt his experience in dealing with people made him a good candidate for the position. He explained how he has seen people at their best and

worst, and he knows he can bring their concerns to the board for action.

Pierson served in the Navy, was the fire chief in Dallas and helped calm people in escalated situations. Pierson indicated different positions he has been in, where he was able to “give taxpayers the biggest bang for their buck” and also gave examples of how important it is to listen. He stated the two big focuses he has are “giving taxpayers the biggest bang for their buck and listening.”

After listening to the candidates, the vote was cast, with a 13-6 outcome.

Steven Sather did not participate in the vote since he is related to Terry Sather.

Pierson was welcomed to the board and took his seat immediately for the rest of the meeting. Several handshakes were given and District 1 now has representation at the Washburn County Board once again.

Letters to the editor

Jan. 22, a day of infamy, pain and loss

Thirty-eight years have passed since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion for any reason at any time during pregnancy in all 50 states. In spite of the passage of decades, Jan. 22 will forever be regarded as a day of infamy and pain by millions of Americans.

Over 53 million American unborn children have lost their lives in that time span to abortion. Untold numbers of mothers, fathers, grandparents and family members have been devastated by the

loss of a child in this despicable manner.

They are left scarred and in pain.

As a society, we collectively grieve the tremendous loss. Who are the millions?

What would they have contributed to our culture and our lives? The enormity of the impact on society is too difficult to grasp and comprehend.

In store is a brighter future, fueled by our young people who will not let this human rights abuse stand. We look forward with hope and optimism to that

Another letter from Trego on the wonders of ObamaCare? Does the tooth fairy exist? I’m sure some folks from Trego are grounded in reality; it’s just that we haven’t heard from any of them. Can all of these benefits promised by ObamaCare be free? It should be noted that Medicare already has a $38 trillion unfunded liability. Do you suppose closing the donut hole on drug care contributed to that liability? I wonder if my grandkids will have any take-home pay or will all of their paycheck be require to pay the national debt.

Last week’s letter states that we’ve just seen the start of the many good things coming our way from ObamaCare. Unfortunately, the secretary of HHS hasn’t had time to write up all the regulations that need to be spelled out to fully ex-

plain the 2,700 pages of the law. Among those regulations will be such matters as who should be treated and with what treatments. No sense in letting Joe/Jane Public, with the help of their doctors, decide such matters.

Mentioned last week was the fact that the Congressional Budget Office has stated that repeal of ObamaCare would increase the deficit by $240 billion. The original savings projected by CBO was a hoax from the get-go. To begin with, 10 years of taxes was used to fund only six years of subsidies. Social Security and Medicare revenue are double counted to the tune of $398 billion. A new long-term care program front-loads taxes but backloads spending. The CBO’s projected savings use a $500 billion cut in Medicare spending including a 25-percent reduc-

tion in payment to doctors. Congress has already backed off on the reduction to doctors payments for this year. Do you think reduced payments will induce doctors to take Medicare patients or will care for seniors be harder to come by?

What we really need is to bend the medical cost curve down so that more people will have access to care. How do you do this? It’s done by reducing governmental regulation, reducing litigation and through free-market competition.

What we are getting instead in many instances is “Alice in Wonderland” thinking.

A successful Shell Lake FFA Bashaw Lake ice-fishing Contest was held Sunday, Jan. 16. The biggest fish award went to James Bartz and grand prize raffle went to Bryant Haakenson, both winning an ice auger.

Shell Lake FFA extends gratitude to all the sponsors. Without support of our

local businesses we would not be so successful in all of our activities. We encourage community members to support these businesses to help continue this strong community bond.

FFA also sends their appreciation to all the participants that attended the icefishing contest. FFA will utilize these

funds to attend leadership development workshops, speaking contests, and be able to perform local programs to promote the health and safety of our community.

HAYWARD — Mark your calendars.

The second session of the Farming for Profit Hay Series will cover forage quality, evaluating, testing and protecting/storage as planned, plus addition information on nutrition and rations.

Hay samples with lab analyses will be shown and discussed, as well as cover storage options to protect quality and quantity of stored hay. Otto Wiegand, ag agent for Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn counties, will be the presenter. Sessions run from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

The schedule is Monday, Jan. 24, Government Center in Hayward; Tuesday, Jan. 25, Government Center in Siren; Wednesday, Jan. 26, Government Center in Ladysmith; and Thursday, Jan. 27, Re-

search Station in Ashland.

The third session, Forage Management: Growing and Harvesting High Quality Hay, will be held on Thursday, Feb. 10, simultaneously at all original locations, including Maple and Phillips.

Dr. Dan Undersander, UW-Extension forage agronomist, will join via teleconference. Discussion will include the many aspects of hay production including soil testing and nutrient management, sward density, species composition and compaction. Also to be discussed is the many aspects of hay harvest including harvest timing, drying, preservatives and baling.

The fourth session, Forage Quality: New Seedings and Low-Cost Renova-

tions, will be held on Monday, Feb. 21, simultaneously at all locations. In this session, you’ll learn about low-cost strategies for improving the productivity and species composition of your hay fields. Dr. Dennis Cosgrove, UW-Extension forage agronomist, will join via teleconference. Discussed will be new seedings and choosing which species, varieties and mixtures are right for you.

For more information, registration and specific session locations, contact UWExtension ag agents Otto Wiegand or Kevin Schoessow in Spooner 715-6353506 or 800-528-1914. — from UW-Extension

curity, accordingly. The courthouse security is solid, Dryden said, noting the law enforcement department is part of the government center complex.

This means it takes longer to submit all the appropriate information. Currently, Washburn County’s officers have to take down the information with each traffic stop, turn it in to the law enforcement center, and the secretary then enters the information into the state Web site.

With this grant, the officers will be able to put the information into the system in the squad vehicle, and when they drive back to the law enforcement center, all of the information is automatically gathered from the vehicle’s system. This information will be automatically sent to Madison for data collection, and then the information will be sent back to the law enforcement center.

Hazardous material emergency preparedness grant Carol Buck, of the law enforcement/emergency management committee, reviewed the grants the county has received and will be receiving. Among them is the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness grant of $7,000. The HHMEP grant program is intended to provide financial and technical assistance as well as national direction and guidance to enhance state, territorial, tribal and local hazardous materials emergency planning and training. Buck will be attending training later this month in Duluth, Minn., and in February, she will be attending training in Madison.

JANUARY 19, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 5

Director retires, senior services carry on

by Diane Dryden SPOONER— Jeanette Reitzel, Spooner, didn’t start off life wanting to be in social work. Back in 1976 when she and husband Steve moved from Waukegan, Ill., to Spooner, Steve got a job on the railroad, where he worked for 12 years until the job of physical education teacher opened at the Spooner Middle School, a job he’s held to the present time, and Jeanette opened an upholstery shop on Front Street, along with her mother, where they worked happily for 13 years.

Life has a habit of changing on a dime, and theirs did too. Jeanette’s dad suddenly had serious health problems and her mother became his caregiver, a job that would last for over 27 years. When the upholstery shop closed, Jeanette, a wife and mother, took the opportunity to return to school, this time receiving a bachelor’s degree in social work, which led to a position with Washburn County as a caseworker.

For the past 3-1/2 years she’s been the director of the ADRC in Spooner. This office, the Aging and Disability Resource Center, located right next to the fairgrounds, was established to help people stay in their own homes as they age, and maybe even more important, they provide the prevention programs that aid seniors in staying healthy and out of institutions. Every program they have is geared toward that goal and due to Reitzel’s personal goal of “empower people,” it’s been a perfect fit for her. She’s retiring now, but still wants to get the word out about the important work the center does.

If you ride the Namekagon Transport bus, or get meals on wheels, or eat at one of the four senior centers, you’ve experienced some the work this center does.

If you were lucky enough to get in on one of their new state programs called the Stepping On workshops, you would have taken away all sorts of ideas that will enable you to know which plans to make now in order to grow old in your own abode. The program covered inside

the house, with tips like putting a grab bar or bars in your shower or tub that are placed where you want them, not where someone else decides they should be when you return home from the hospital after you’ve broken your hip getting into or out of the tub.

Another suggestion for things that can be done now is taking out the tub entirely and putting a walk-in shower in its place, or changing the handles on your doors to the ones you simply have to push down, and not turn. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to install railings on all your outside steps and put up a few security lights so you don’t trip on the uneven pavement walking from your garage to the house.

The workshop also mentioned that nightlights are a huge help at night and maybe it’s time to get rid of the throw rugs and possibly add some white tape to the edge of all stairs that will make

them more definite in the dark or semidark. Maybe it’s also time to move that basement washer and dryer up to the main floor somewhere, even a stack unit in a closet would work. In other words, the workshops encouraged people to look at their own home and see what changes they can make now.

Another initiative from the resource center is the new Dinner at Five. The first Monday of each month, anyone over 60 years of age can sign up (on the Thursday before) for rib night at all four centers in Washburn County. So far the program has been successful, rounding out the daily lunches served at the centers on a donation basis.

One of the things that Reitzel wants to emphasize before she leaves is that the Unit on Aging was established solely to help people who are looking for information on subjects like Social Security, retirement counseling and healthy aging and to give people the ability to stay in their own homes longer while having the opportunity to get around to shop or

money for completely different uses, including helping balance the general fund. The numerous raids on the Agricultural Chemical Cleanup Program Fund have made it a poster child for this bad practice as over $7 million has been taken from that fund, dating back to fiscal year 1998. The ACCP was created to assist agrichemical retailers and farmers with the cleanup costs at sites that were contaminated by agrichemicals. The fees used to fund the program increase the cost that retailers and farmers pay for crop protection products, so it is particularly unfair to use these funds for purposes outside the program.”

Oemichen noted $7 million has also been raided from the Agrichemical Management Fund since fiscal year 2000 and used for purposes never intended for these

Iron ore mine proposed ASHLAND An affiliate of a privately held coal mining company is proposing to spend more than $1 billion to develop a large open-pit iron ore mine on an ancient mountain range in far northern Wisconsin. Gogebic Taconite has purchased an option to lease the mineral rights on 22,000 acres covering 22 miles, near Mellen and Upson in Ashland and Iron counties. The company is a subsidiary of the Cline Group, which controls large coal reserves in Illinois and parts of the Appalachian region.

The project is still years from starting. While supporters will trumpet the mine’s economic benefits, it is sure to raise environmental concerns, especially potential threats to the Bad River and Lake Superior. Gogebic Taconite will need approval from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and other agencies. If the mine becomes a reality, the project would be the first in Wisconsin since the operation of the Flambeau copper mine, from 1991 to 1997, near Ladysmith, according to the DNR. The mine would employ hundreds of workers. Fifield said comparable operations in Minnesota and Michigan employ at least 600 workers with annual salaries of at least $50,000. - Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

funds. More commonly known raids to the general public are the transfers from the Transportation Fund which was a removal of more than $1.6 billion over 10 years, $200 million from the Injured Patients Compensation Fund and $140 million from energy conservation programs funded through utility bills.

Cooperative Network members have adopted a policy resolution on the integrity of segregated funds that includes in part the following: “Cooperative Network believes this practice of raiding segregated funds is inappropriate and should be curtailed. It damages the ability to cover functions or services that the segregated funds were created to provide. It also decreases our citizens faith in the ability of their elected officials to protect funds derived from fee revenue from unintended uses.” Oemichen noted a similar resolution was adopted by representatives of the four cooperatively owned Wisconsin Farm Credit associations.

Cooperative Network is the statewide trade association representing the Wisconsin cooperative business community that is owned by more than 2.9 million state residents. - from the Cooperative Network

MADISON– Wisconsin cooperatives are urging support for legislation that state Reps. Gary Tauchen, RBonduel, and Pat Strachota, R-West Bend, and state Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, are circulating that would advance a constitutional amendment prohibiting legislative raids on segregated funds for reasons unconnected to the fund’s purpose. This issue was recently highlighted by a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision overturning a $200 million raid from the Patients’ Compensation Fund.

Bill Oemichen, Cooperative Network president and CEO, observed, “Our members have been unhappy for years by the growing practice of both governors and legislatures to take money from funds that result from fees intended for a specific purpose and to use the

WisconsinPublicNotices.org brings public notices together online

STATEWIDE - WisconsinPublicNotices.org — a comprehensive, searchable, statewide public notice Web site — has been launched by the Wisconsin Newspaper Association to enhance governdistribution of public ment’s information.

WisconsinPublicNotices.org is a free resource available to all, offering a direct link to public notices that are first published by the Inter-County Leader and newspapers from around the state.

“Our state’s Legislature has long understood the value of an informed citizenry and has always mandated that public notices be published in ink, on paper, in the newspapers across Wisconsin,” said Andrew Johnson, publisher of the Dodge County Pionier and president of the WNA Board of Directors. “This permanent, third-party documentation — unalterable and independent of government itself — ensures protection for each and every person. The public must be given opportunity to be made aware of government actions that affect them,

Boots

With a fair amount of snow this winter, along with the cold, a good pair of winter boots has helped keep my feet warm and dry when out in the elements.

There were days in my past when wearing boots wasn’t the thing to do.

Was it a sign of being weak if you wore a pair of snow boots? Was it not being fashionable if your feet were clad in heavy footwear?

Whatever the reason, I have reached the age where comfort is higher on the list than being fashionable.

Suzanne One cold, snowy Johnson winter day, after a group of us kids had been outside building snow forts, throwing snow and having fun, we ended up playing inside at the Nelsons house. They owned the Clam Falls Store, and so they had a large basement for us kids to play in. In the family room was a brick fireplace, where on this day, there was a fire going.

As we were busy doing an activity, we started to smell burning rubber.

Upon investigating the situation, it was

whether it is the activity of all government, or the actions of courts. It’s ‘The Public’s Right to Know.’”

WisconsinPublicNotices.org brings those ink-on-paper notices together in one online home. The site is a public service made possible by the newspapers of Wisconsin and was developed to assist citizens who want to know more about the actions of local, county and state government; as well as events occurring in the local and state court system. Notices are first published in newspapers and then placed on the site to offer enhancements such as statewide search and round-the-clock updates to online readers.

Content on the site is searchable by city, county, newspaper, ZIP code and key word. There is no cost to the public for accessing public notices on the WisconsinPublicNotices.org Web site and there is no added cost to units of government for placing the notices on the site.

Studies, including a 2010 survey commissioned by WNA, continue to show discovered that little Richy had tossed all our pairs of boots into the fire. I reached in and grabbed out some, burning two of my fingers on the melting rubber. There was only some damage done to the boots. Mine could be patched and I continued to wear them.

It wasn’t unusual for some of us to already be using plastic bread bags over our shoes or between the liners and the shell of the boot to help keep our feet dry.

By the time I was in fifth grade, wearing boots over your shoes was not the fashionable thing to do. You were cool if you carried your shoes along with your books if you were wearing boots. My boots looked like you didn’t have shoes on in them, but you did. As I was putting on my boots one day, a sixth-grade girl commented on my wearing boots that went over my shoes. After that day, I kept an old pair of shoes in my boots.

I would have to carefully slide my feet in so I could get my feet not only in the boot but also the shoe. Now I was cool, too, as I had to carry my shoes.

There were a few days though when I had to hurry and didn’t take the time to get my feet into the shoes before heading out in my boots. It was hard to run and keep the boots on my feet, but it’s amazing what one will do to keep a secret.

Styles and brand names have come and gone in the world of snow boots.

Remember Moon Boots? Now the craze is Uggs.

that community newspapers are read and are a trusted source for local information. Results of a September 2010 statewide Wisconsin Public Notice Readership Survey indicated nearly 78 percent of residents believe state and local government should continue to be required to publish legal and public notices in newspapers on a regular basis.

The Washburn County Fair took first place with their Best Fair Booth display at the Wisconsin Fair Convention held in the Wisconsin Dells. — Photo submitted

2tfc

WISCONSIN DELLS — The Washburn County Fair recently entered the Best Fair Booth display at the Wisconsin Fair Convention held at the Chula Vista Resort in the Wisconsin Dells.

There were over 1,000 fair board members from across the state that attended. There are 76 county fairs in Wisconsin, and Washburn County competed against fairs all over the state.

Washburn County Fair won first place with a display built by Ella Marie Hills, Julene Peck and Jared Kidder who all attended the convention. Charlotte Thompson and Jim Biver provided some really old photos for the display, some dating back to the 1920s when the Washburn County Fair was held where Larsen Auto Center in Spooner is now. If you drive just north on Hwy. 63 and look to the back of the swamp you’ll see where the trees have a curve to them; that was the back of the horse track. Photos from Larry Samson were also used in the display.

The display’s theme was 100 years of the Washburn County Fair, which will celebrate the 100th year July 2831. Plans are to have the biggest fair ever this year with some big entertainment coming.

Fun facts of the early days of the Washburn County Fair 1912: First Washburn County Fair. President of the United States was William Howard Taft. Gas was 7 cents a gallon, and it cost $954 for a brand-new car.

1919: Had an airplane and a kangaroo exhibit.

1921: The carnival had two merry-go-rounds, one at fair and one downtown. People dropped in on the fair from parachutes. Had a target shooting act by the Howeyzer Company.

1923: 197 children were examined at the fair, 50 were underweight, three were overweight, 122 were normal weight, and 22 were seriously underweight.

1926: Spooner stores closed from noon to 6 p.m.

Thursday and Friday so people could attend the fair.

1946: Washburn County Fair moved to its new and current location. Polio outbreak, had a one-day fair in October.

1952: Spooner Advocated reported it was the best fair ever!

Unique art and craftwork by over 200 artists.

Obituaries

A golfer had lost his ball, and he turned to his caddie, shouting angrily, “Why didn’t you watch where it went?”

“Sir,” said the boy, “it doesn’t usually go anywhere, so it took me by surprise.”

How like a lot of church members!

But the Bible tells us what to do: “Go ye!”

Where? The Bible answers, “Into all the world.”

Why? “To preach the Gospel.”

To whom? “To every creature.”

The word “go” appears 252 times in the New Testament. So all conditions are “Go!” Are you going with the Gospel, or can it be said of you, as it was of the golfer’s ball, “It doesn’t usually go anywhere!”

Florence was born Feb. 3, 1930, in Big Bend, to Nels and Hulda Nelson.

Florence grew up in the Trego area and had fond memories of Tadpole, Potato Creek and Blooming Valley schools. She completed two years of college in her younger years and at the age of 70 completed a course in ornithology.

Dewey Country by Pauline Lawrence

It was a cold day in Dewey Country on Sunday, Jan. 16, 2011! Yes, we have to expect this weather as we live in the four seasons here in Wisconsin. But hey, we’re tough and we’ll get through it. Come next summer with that high humidity and scorching heat, we’ll be wishin’ for this cool weather.

As I didn’t have a column last week, I want to send greetings to those people who had birthdays and anniversaries.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Ralph Smith Jr. way down in Texas and to Olivia Hile. Hope you had a wonderful day.

A very happy birthday to a guy that always has a big smile on his face, Glen Crosby, who enjoyed his special day, Jan. 14.

Happy birthday to Keolani Baumgart who turned 10 years old on Jan. 15. Hope you had a wonderful day, Keolani.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Hannah Brion on Jan. 17 with lots more to come.

Happy birthday to a special brother, Roger Lawrence, on Jan. 20. I hope you have a wonderful day Roger.

Jan. 21, a very happy birthday to Ella Friendt and to Myrna Atkinson, both celebrating their special day with many more to come.

Happy birthday to a very dear lady, Dorothy Lashmett, who turns 81 years young Jan. 22. Many more to this wonderful lady.

Jan. 23, birthday wishes to Beth Zelenek who celebrates her special day with many more to come.

Happy birthday wishes to Nolan Phillip Miller when he enjoys his special day Jan. 25. Nolan is the little son of Phillip and Carrie (Bixby) Miller of Spooner.

A very special happy birthday to two young ladies who turn 15 years old on Jan. 26, Rachel Mechtel and Kenzie Cramer. I hope you both have a great day.

Hey, hey! After watching that Packer game Saturday night do you have holes in your floor, diggin’ in, playing right along on the field with those Packers? How about your voice today?

Can you only whisper? Yes, it was an exciting game with the Packers comin’ in with a big win. Now everyone, just rest up as there will be more to come, so dig those feet in playin’ along with the game and scream and yell all you want as we want those Packers to continue to win.

I’m sure most of you know we have a little 8-month-old puppy, Rory. Well I have to tell you something I saw, never before. Jan 9, when I came home that Sunday evening, Rory just wouldn’t leave me alone. He has always been right behind me but this was every minute and everywhere I went. He would also nip at my heels and try to get ahold of my jeans and whine. If I sat down, he would put his little paws on my legs, wanting up, which was a big surprise as he was always such a little busy boy. Picking him up, he cuddled close to me and it made me think of why? I figured it out finally, as dogs do sense when something is wrong and he wanted to comfort me. And yes, he still does all the time. At this time he doesn’t want me to type so I have to type with him lying on my lap.

He is a great comfort to me as we got him for Sunshine to enjoy, which he did very much, but I now am first in Rory’s life and I will comfort him as he does me.

Friday found Chad and Izzy Jensen coming to Diane Hulleman’s to spend the day and night. Colleen was on a business trip and came home Saturday evening with Chad leaving Diane’s special granddaughter, Izzy, to spend the night with her grandma. Diane and I had a good laugh together as she said Izzy hogged all the blankets along with the bed. Sunday Chad and Colleen came to spend time with Diane and took Izzy home. Steve Hulleman also spent Sunday with his mom, Diane.

Those beautiful white turkeys took their fateful ride this past week with all of them gone Monday. Sheds were cleaned and those nutrients hauled away and it’s onward to new bedding, and new 7-week-old turkeys are to arrive early Monday morning. Son has some big shoes to fill but I know he can do it in the days ahead!

Cecil and Evelyn Melton attended our Sunshine’s prayer service Wednesday night. We bought our farm from them and it was an honor to have them there. Thanks to both of you.

The Dewey Township Caucus will be held Saturday, Jan. 22, at the Dewey Town Hall at 1 p.m. Everyone welcome.

Talking with our treasurer or tax collector, Bill Holden, he wants people to know that he will be at the Dewey Town Hall every Wednesday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. to collect your real estate taxes with the taxes being due Jan. 31.

A minister came into my Sunshine’s room at the hospital.

He asked Sunshine if he would like to pray with him. Sunshine thought and thought about that as he was a man of few words and said, “Do you think it will help?” The minister replied, “I hope so as this is how I make my living.”

Talking with Gretchen Best, we find her hubby and she left Dec. 20 spending the night at their daughter, Bonita’s, in the Twin Cities. The next day all three left for Florida to spend Christmas with their son/brother and his wife, Kevin and Jess Best. After enjoying Christmas together the families spent the day at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., and one day they all stayed at the Dolphin Hotel taking in the Epcot Center. Bonita left for her home in the Twin Cities on Jan. 2 and Jerry and Gretchen left a few days after. They stopped in Atlanta, Ga., to see a huge aquarium with so many sea creatures and Gretchen said it was fascinating and they thoroughly enjoyed it. They beat it for home as there was an ice storm coming

through Georgia in the next few days and they arrived home Jan. 5. What a wonderful time they had, Gretchen says.

Sunday afternoon the Shell Lake FFA students had a fishing contest on Bashaw Lake with teacher Jen Bos as advisor.

I haven’t heard who got what. I hear there were 50-60 cars on the ice.

News from the Fjelstad Palace finds Bob and Kris very sick with colds. We hope you both get better soon. Wednesday, Kris attended the ladies circle meeting at Lakeview UMC. That evening Bob and Kris attended the prayer service for Richard Lawrence at Skinner Funeral Home. Thursday Kris attended the funeral for Rich. Later Kris’ sister, Pat Kage, and her pup, Spookie, came to see Bob and Kris, staying overnight. All enjoyed fresh crappies from Bashaw Lake, along with good visiting. Sunday Bob took in the Shell Lake FFA ice-fishing contest on Bashaw Lake.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Sunshine

by Pauline Lawrence As I sit and think now of how to start this story, I have so many emotions and thoughts racing through my brain that I can’t catch them fast enough to put them down on paper. But I must start at the beginning.

Thinking back I can’t put down the exact day or month I met my Sunshine, but I do know the Edgar Lawrence family moved to Dewey Country in 1949 and our parents were good friends and they visited back and forth. And of course, we kids from both families had a great time playing so many games while they visited. There was always Red Light, Green Light, Hide and Seek, just running around with so much energy we had then. The Lawrence family lived kitty-corner from my parents’ farm and Sunshine had two brothers at this time, Roger and Bob, with Allan arriving in 1950.

We attended Doran School and what a wonderful experience we had there. So many happy times together. Later we were moved to Shell Lake Schools. In our neighborhood, we had quite a number of kids our age and we all played together, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, catching pollywogs, old-fashioned snowball fights, snow forts, skiing behind a truck, playing Smear, rolling up snowmen or was that snowwomen?, sliding down the big hill by Lyle and Catherine Schumaker’s where their twin girls, Betty and Barb, joined the rest of the gang, usually kids from our neighborhood. Our folks didn’t have much money so we kids made our own fun and enjoyed it.

Nobody said a word about someone wearing patched pants to school. If there were patches, so be it, we were just happy to have them, unlike the young people growing up nowadays who crave those holey pants. I’m sure I could find a few pair around here with holes made from farming if they want them.

In Sunshine’s teen years, he had a hound and every Sunday in the winter he and his pals would go fox hunting around the neighborhood. He seemed to always make a swing down around my folks’ farm before going home for the day. He would come in our house and chat but always making a stare at the homemade ice-cream freezer, which our family enjoyed making in the winter. We would dish him up a big bowl, he’d eat it, and be on his way. I always thought he stopped to see me but in reality I think he just stopped to have some of that lip-smacking ice cream. So much for love, I say.

On June 5, 1965, Sunshine and I married at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner and moved to the Twin Cities where Sunshine was a welder at Pioneer Engineering, welding on huge machinery. During those seven years, we had two daughters, Paula Lynn and Pamela Annmarie. In this time we bought a house in Moundsview, Minn. In 1972, we packed our bags and baggage and headed for Dewey Country. As we drove for the first time into our new life of farming we had smiles on our faces, stars in our eyes and looked forward to a better life living in God’s country milking those bossies, tilling the earth and caring for it along with much other, including raising our kids in the great outdoors, which Sunshine loved so much. In March 1973 we welcomed our third little daughter, Penny Lynn, and we now had three angels. Did I say angels? I think I have to think about that now.

In 1977, we welcomed our son, Richard Jr., into our family.

Our family farm was a true family farm, milking those bossies and caring for the land by the six of us. And yes, we taught our children how to work, how to get along in the world, how to manage their money, and so much more. All of our children loved to hunt with their pa, and he hunted many times with all four.

Oh how proud we were to be living on a dairy farm, producing so much food for our hungry nation. We thought we had the whole world in our hands when we started farming with a John Deere B tractor and a huge JD 2510 tractor. Wow! That was a big tractor back then. And yes, that tractor remains part of our farm.

As Sunshine loved to hunt so much, the kids and I did evening chores, milking and feeding those bossies, many, many times. He would come home smilin’ from ear to ear, tellin’ us all the stories of everything he saw. How he loved to be up in a tree while bow hunting, seeing a mama bear and her family walk under the tree, followed by a papa bear or

raccoons, skunks, bunnies, squirrels and so many more wildlife. And golly how can I forget the chipmunks? Yes, those little guys would come up the tree where he was and really chew him out, I imagine for being in their territory, zippin’ around the branches amongst the leaves as if to tell him, “Beat it mister, this is our territory!”

Through out the years, when gun hunting season for deer was over, we made hundreds of pounds of venison bologna.

It was a recipe that my dad had and it was so good it makes my mouth water. Sunshine would gather all the spices up and mix them in the meat, including cayenne pepper, which was so hot. Instead of stopping with the right measure of ingredients, he would pour on these ingredients, especially red pepper. It was put in casings followed with smoking the bologna, and then for Sunshine it was on to heaven, with his mouth watering as the bologna cooked. I can tell you those sausages were heavy with red pepper burning our mouths like fire but it was so delicious we ate it anyway along with some good cold milk to cool us off. I feel good in my heart that I made a big batch of venison bologna especially for Sunshine before he passed away. Talking with him on the telephone when he was with our daughter, Paula, and telling him I was comin’ down the next day with this venison sausage he said he couldn’t wait. And yes, he loved it!

I still laugh at some of the funny things I saw happen to him on our farm. One afternoon we had to catch a big heifer outside in the heifer lot that we needed to get in. Here goes my honey into the heifer lot with a rope, with me behind to head her off. How many times he tried to lasso that heifer is beyond me, and yes there was a lot of blue smoke when he missed. But he finally threw the rope and got it around the heifer’s neck, holding onto the other end. Well, that heifer had other ideas. She just gave that rope a yank, pullin’ Sunshine along as he water-skied across that pond in our lot, dumping him headfirst into the soup. I watched it happen and I was laughing so hard I had to get out of there, beatin’ it to a hiding place as I knew if he saw me laughing so hard I’d be headin’ headfirst into the same soup and I sure didn’t want that. Hiding and trying to keep quiet, I remember pinching myself so hard so I didn’t laugh as he came out of the lot. Later he asked me where I was and I told him I answered the barn phone.

Sunshine enjoyed so much in his life, not only hunting and fishin’ but joining with so many others listening to their tales.

He was a member of the Dewey tug-o-war team with these guys practicing at one another’s places, tugging that rope.

And yes, under their coach, Garold Albee, they brought home some trophies. He also was a member of Quality Deer Management believing in only taking those big bucks with a wide spread. He also liked to coach the 4-H Club members softball team.

Knowing his love of hunting so much it would kind of get to me! I made the mistake of asking him if he had to choose to give up his hunting or me, he looked at me and thinking through that big problem, he smiled his quiet smile and said, “Don’t ask!”

I think of the thousands of times I saw him go on our big John going through our yard with a piece of equipment, going to the field and we always smiled and waved to each other. I know now it will be our son, Richy, going through our yard as his pa did.

You suffered so much, sweetheart, and we were always beside you no matter what. Your health problems started in 2001 with the replacement of your hip. It was not a good fit and you were in a great deal of pain, even though the doctors thought not. In 2004, you had back surgery and were never able to work again as it disabled you. Our daughters and families all helped to keep our farm going with Richy and myself. We all took on a lot trying to follow in your shoes, with milking, crops, family time and so much more. I look back today thanking God I had you in my life for 45-1/2 years with so much fun and enjoyment as a family. We watched you suffer so much and you kept trying and trying as you wanted to live. After 4-1/2 years in and out of the hospitals, the doctors came into your room Jan. 8, 2011, and gave you a choice. They would put you in a nursing home or you could have stayed near a big hospital at Paula’s all the time on a vent machine to live out your life. The other choice the doctors told you was they would help you pass away with no pain or suffering.

Yes, sweetheart, as hard as it was to accept your choice, we couldn’t interfere as you said it was no life to live on a vent. We all were with you that day and Penny, Paula, and I stayed behind to be with you, and you left us at 3 a.m. Sunday morning. Our hearts were broken to see you go, but we know you are in heaven with God. Hey there now sweetheart! Cut that out! Yah, you! I know what you’re up to and I know you’re chasing and flirting with all those female angels. Remember you still have a boss and God is watching you, so behave.

I must bring this to a close as it’s getting to be very long and maybe people are just getting plain tired of my writing, but I do have one last request sweetheart and I hope you honor this with my last wish and it is, “Please, just please wait for me.”

Increase miles on the Ice Age Trail

by Sylvia Oberle, Stanberry “Oh good! Steps,” Ruth said as we climbed 120 steps to Lapham Peak, a lofty height located on the Ice Age Trail near Delafield. We climbed the 45-foot lookout tower with our hair blowing straight up in the cold November wind. Breathless, we reached the top and marveled that we could see far and wide over Lake Nagakawicka. In the distance, we could see as far as Holy Hill in Washington County.

Lapham Peak is a state park on the Glacial Drumlin State Trail named after Increase Lapham. It surprised me to learn he is known as the father of the National Weather Bureau. I had read about Lapham as an early Wisconsin author (with a strange first name) but hadn’t read his important biography. In 1936, he came to Milwaukee to survey city plots and also draw a basic plat of the city.

Increase would climb to the peak, a glacial kame, and observe the weather. He believed weather could be predicted and mapped. Later, he traveled to Washington, D.C., to ask legislators to establish a National Weather Bureau. Today, the park at Lapham Peak offers three picnic areas, a campsite, prairie restoration area, trails for skiing and biking, and even a trail for dogsled training.

After we had climbed to the peak and back down, Mrs. and Mr. Brandt, a couple living next to the trail, invited us for tea. We accepted. I was offered green tea and wondered if coffee-drinker-me would like it. To my surprise, it was very refreshing!

Some good humor and stories shared around the table certainly helped make our day. The couple promised to take us back to the very spot on the trail we had left. Soon, we were in a hurry to continue our trek.

To our delight, after we hiked 11 more miles on the Ice Age Trail, the couple met us again and gave us a tour of Delafield, a very attractive city. Here we learned the Lang Companies LLC built homes and restored country-style buildings for the city. Theirs is a real success story about a small business that grew.

It all began in the kitchen of Bob and Suzanne Lang when she complained that she couldn’t find a calendar she liked for the New Year. So they decided to print their own. They used country-style pictures and published 800 the first year. By 1982, the calendars pleased the public so much the Langs hired four workers and moved their work to a new building. In 1984, Lang had branched out to calendars, Christmas cards, note cards and gifts. In 2000, Bob’s Boxes, a reusable gift box, was

by Marian Furchtenicht forth to visit him.

Gloria Frey and sister Joann Paulson spent the weekend in Hinckley, Minn. Pat and Laurie Frey had the dads, Anton Frey and Ken Harmen, and her brother, Kenny, in for turkey dinner on Saturday.

Sunday at church, Joe Elbe and daughter Sage told of their trip to Mexico with the Methodist group. Donna Ness had also gone to do volunteer work. Says it’s a real eyeopener, we have so much here to be thankful for. They shared fresh oranges they brought from Texas.

Greg and Sue Krantz attended a Packer football party Saturday night at Brad Neuman’s in Shell Lake. Matt Krantz, Chippewa Falls, was at his folks on Sunday.

It seemed good to see sunshine on Saturday for a change.

At nightfall on Monday there was a full wolf moon and it was trying to shine through overcast skies.

Sarona folks extend sympathy to Pauline Lawrence and family in the death of husband, Richard. He was a good guy, so well-liked and fought such a long battle.

Prayers and sympathy to Pat Hellzen in the sudden death of her son, Ty Peterson, 48, who passed away while in Mexico last Wednesday of a heart attack.

Great-grandma Elfreda West attended the first birthday party for Bini Donetell on Saturday held at his parents, Paul and Lacey’s, in Spooner for family and friends. Happy birthday, little one.

Marlene Hansen had dinner Sunday and watched the football game at her sister’s, Janet and Brian Hamilton’s, in Weyerhaeuser.

Put Vicki Lombard’s dad on your prayer chain. Her dad, Leonard Lang, is in Luther Hospital in Eau Claire after a heart attack. Vicki and Willie have been going back and

“A GREAT PLACE TO SEE A MOVIE”

a top-notch seller.

I said, “Oh, that’s the Lang Company that prints my kitchen calendar!” I hadn’t realized the company was from my own state. I like the calendar for the kitchen because the pictures are folk scenes, and the large, black numbers can be seen across the room.

Our day of hiking and sightseeing satisfied us immensely, and yet, it humbled me by letting me know I should be more aware of the history of my own state. It just proves there’s always more to learn about Wisconsin, whether it’s geological features or interesting history.

I’m proud to say I’m near the 900-mile mark on the Ice Age Trail. I will have to decide what’s next: it could be road-walk in Manitowoc County, a climb up Holy Hill or just time out for cross-country skiing.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Jessica DeFilippo and her caring staff at LifeCircle Birth Center, especially Melissa and Cassie, for their outstanding professional help in bringing our healthy baby boy into the world. We have no doubt that the smooth pregnancy and delivery were much in part to the expertise and advice of these women. God bless you and the work you do!

We would also like to thank Kathy Dahlstrom and other chamber members responsible for the nice gift basket.

Heart of the Farm Conference for Women will highlight risk management

SIREN — Mark your calendars! A Heart of the Farm - Women in Agriculture Conference will be held at The Lodge at Crooked Lake in Siren on Wednesday, Feb. 2, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The Heart of the Farm Conference Series is a UW-Extension program committed to addressing the needs of farm women by providing education on farm business topics, connecting them with agricultural resources and creating support networks. The conference addresses issues relevant to both large and small operations. Since 2002, a total of 30 one-day conferences held across the state reached over 650 participants. As a result of these programs, participants improved their recordkeeping,

made changes to insurance coverage, implemented production changes, made decisions on retirement and more.

The workshop will start with a Farmers Panel to discuss how farm women handle working on the farm or off the farm, raising family and still finding personal or leisure time. Come and share your ideas and experiences in balancing farm, family and personal priorities.

Other topics include agriculture loans, government programs, grants and other resources, practical considerations for human resource management and value-added markets. The conference will end with a taste of northwestern Wisconsin, featuring local wines,

breads, cheese and chocolate.

To register, obtain a brochure, or for more information, contact UW-Extension Agents Kevin Schoessow or Otto Wiegand, 715-635-3506 or 800-528-1914, or Jenny Vanderlin, jmvander@wisc.edu, 608-263-7795, Web site at: www.uwex.edu/ces/heartofthefarm. Heart of the Farm is supported by a grant from the USDA Risk Management Agency. It is partially funded by the Center for Dairy Profitability, UW-Extension Farm and Risk Management Team, and Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. — from UW-Extension

We have wonderful family news this week. Imagine a drumroll and fanfare from trumpets here. We have a brand-new great-granddaughter. Tru Vera Marie Lehmann arrived last Thursday morning, Jan. 13.

Mommy — that would be Alyse — and baby are doing just great. Grandparents Ryan and Suzy might survive the excitement; we’re not too sure about that yet. Don

and Anitia Lehmann are the other great-grandparents.

Tru is just the most adorable little thing, and I think she smiled at me. Don’t try to tell me that sweet little smile was due to a gas pain. I refuse to believe it. I am going to have fun spoiling this little one, if I can ever pry her away from her mom and grandma, that is.

Pat and Doug Sweet also have a new great-grandbaby, but he’s a little far away for them to be able to spoil. Mason Andre’ Parker arrived on Jan. 7 in Billings, Mont., to Ashley and Nick. Mom, dad and baby are all doing fine, and I’m sure it won’t be long before Pat and Doug find an excuse to run out to Montana to meet their new great-grandson.

Members of Barronett Lutheran held their annual meeting on Sunday after worship service. We elected some new council members, and they are Leroy Orth who took over as president; Boyd Aarestad, who was president last year, was elected vice president; Dorothy Orth is our new deacon; and Mel Pittman is our new trustee. The secretary is Cheryl Jaastad, who, in addition to all the other secretarial duties, makes sure that we have our bulletins on time every Sunday morning.

Treasurer Shirley Overvig keeps track of the money and makes sure we don’t spend more than we bring in. The government could use her, don’t you think? Sharai Hefty sees to it that we have ushers. Dorothy Orth gets people to read the lessons. Peg Thompson is leader of the youth group and Sunday school. Geri Pittman, in addition to playing organ every Sunday, is in charge of the cleaning crew. This year, Devon Snowbank was selected to assist Peg Thompson with the youth group.

The entire congregation extends gratitude to all of the council members, and their helpers, for their commitment to helping the business of the church run smoothly.

After the meeting, we all gathered in the church basement for potluck dinner. That’s one of the best parts of business meetings, you know, hearing the motion made to adjourn so we can all go down, relax, enjoy some food and visit for another hour or so.

Ruth Grover, Dorothy Orth and Shirley Overvig had a fantastic time on their girls night out in Plymouth, Minn., on Friday. They booked a room at the Kelly Inn for the evening and went to a play about church basement ladies at the Plymouth Theater, which is in the inn. Ruth said that the play was extremely funny most of the time, very touching at others, and that the singing was extraordinary. After the play, they went back to their room and visited until the wee hours of the morning. The next morning, they had breakfast at the inn and then came home again.

You realize, of course, that on Sunday afternoon they were part of the church basement ladies. They all helped with the luncheon we served after our annual meeting. I wonder if the irony of that escaped them.

Attention fishermen and women! This is Barronett’s big weekend. The 24th-annual ice-fishing contest will be held on Shallow Lake on Saturday, Jan. 22, starting at 10 a.m. There will be prizes starting at $200 for the largest northern, bass, crappie and panfish. There will be food and lots and lots of door prizes on the lake. The contest runs until 3 p.m., and there will be a souper supper served at the community center immediately after the contest. Smear games start at the community center

at 4 p.m., and, of course there will be raffles. Luanne Pechacek, queen of the Ice Mavens, and her ladies in waiting, will be here to crown their new king and to have a good time, of course. Anyway, it sounds like lots of fun, so we hope you can join us.

The friendly neighborhood moocher called me Sunday evening, and, believe it or not, he was not gloating about how much free food he has been getting. Seems that Terry was running short of his favorite soap, cranberry glycerin, so, right after work one day last week, he stopped at a store in Rice Lake to pick some up. Before I go any further with this, I have to let you know that Terry has never been much for vanity. He doesn’t pay a whole lot of attention to the current fashion trends when he’s out and about on personal errands.

OK, so he’s going to the soap aisle, dressed in pretty grubby work clothes and old work boots, and he saw a woman in the same aisle having a little trouble deciding on which kind of soap to buy. Terry finally found his brand, and told the woman that if she was looking for some really good soap, she should try the kind he was getting. Well, she looked at him, her eyes went down to his beat-up work shoes and up to his rather dirty work shirt, and finally said, “You really don’t look like the type of person who goes around smelling soap.”

Hmmm. Wonder if Terry will offer advice on personal hygiene products again soon.

A little bird told me that Allie Rouzer celebrated her golden birthday on Jan. 17. Happy birthday a couple of days late, Allie. Hope it was great.

Pooch Olson and Duane Pieper share a birthday on Jan. 20. Hope they both have lot a of fun on their special day.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. I sure hope you can join us for the ice-fishing contest — or at least for supper at the community center afterward. See you next week.

On Sunday, Arlys attended the birthday party of Olivia Hile on her 10th birthday. She is the daughter of Heidi and Chuck Hile of Haugen. Birthday blessings, Olivia.

Dorothy Anderson celebrated her birthday on Sunday here at Glenview with cake and ice cream. Happy birthday, Dorothy.

A new tenant has arrived here at Glenview. Mary Randall, we welcome you.

Tim and Sue Pederson stopped in to see Tim’s mom, Helen V. Pederson, on Thursday on their way home to

Amherst. They came for the funeral of Sue’s uncle, Richard Lawrence, at Salem Lutheran Church. They ran into bad weather around Chetek so that slowed them down on the way up to Shell Lake.

Jeff and Brenda Pederson were visitors at Helen V. Pederson’s.

How about those Packers Saturday night? They gave us a good and exciting game. Next is the Chicago Bears.

I hope you all stay well, drink lots of liquids and keep warm. I’ve been battling a bad cold so have stayed close to my apartment.

When it comes to difficult acts to follow, it’s pretty hard to beat the good old days.

Another dark day here in Shell Lake and they predict snow so we get what they give us, right? It keeps everyone busy shoveling and plowing. Weather is bad all over the country and even in other countries they have floods, mud slides, so we don’t have it too bad.

People have been staying pretty close to home except work and just necessary things. Lots of people are sick with flu or colds. So it’s best to stay warm, get your rest and have plenty of liquids.

Mavis and Roger Flach went to Minong on Friday night to watch the girls basketball game and their granddaughter, Hailey Flach. Having grandchildren keeps us older folks young and happy.
