Sampling produces no new CWD-positive deer

by Marty Seeger Special to the Register SPOONER – The Wisconsin DNR is continuing efforts to monitor chronic wasting disease in the 318- square mile area surrounding Shell Lake, where an adult doe tested CWD positive in early 2012. With cooperation from local citizens, hunters and two car-killed deer pickup contractors, the DNR has been successful in collecting more than 1,000 samples. As of late January, no new positive deer have been found, and that’s a good thing according to CWD biologist Mark Rasmussen. “So far, no more positives, that’s obviously very good news,” Rasmussen said, and added that it’s possible that the disease has been detected at an early stage within the deer population and not yet widespread in the population of the northern deer herd. Concerns from citizens in the Shell Lake area, as well as the cities of Spooner and Sarona, which are included in the 10-mile intensive monitoring area, are varied according to Rasmussen, but he says many people are still very interested in the disease and would like to continue to know more about it. The DNR is continuing to keep an eye on the situation as well as continuing to keep everyone informed as they move forward. They are also thankful for the continued cooperation and support of the community, as they continue to play a big role in monitoring CWD. “We need people to continue to be the eyes and ears. If they see any kind of sick-looking deer, they should definitely make a contact to your nearest DNR office so we can get that dealt with,” Rasmussen said. The DNR stresses that it is still likely that there could be CWD-positive deer in the vicinity, and that the doe that tested positive for CWD may have also had fawns, and likely

came into contact with other deer. Prior to dying, the doe most likely shed CWD prions, which can infect other deer with the disease both directly and indirectly. Any county within a 10-mile radius of where a CWD-positive deer is detected is required by state law to enact a baiting and feeding ban. It is important for the public to know, particularly in the four-county area where the baiting and feeding ban is in effect, which includes Washburn, Burnett, Polk and Barron counties. “We’ve had really excellent compliance so far. Haven’t had a lot of feeding or baiting vioSee CWD, back page

Aerial survey set

SPOONER — The DNR will be conducting a fixed-wing aerial survey of deer in the Shell Lake and surrounding area during the month of February. The survey will focus on the area near where a CWD-positive deer was detected in November of 2011. The survey is dependent on having sufficient snow cover to help the deer stand out on the landscape. It will be conducted during daylight hours. The survey will cover an area of 36 square miles, with the transects being flown onequarter mile apart. A total of 144 linear miles will be surveyed. The flights will be conducted at 200 feet above the ground in areas outside the city limits of Shell Lake, and 500 feet above the ground within the Shell Lake city limits. The results of this survey will help to provide an index on relative abundance of deer within the survey area. Wildlife managers use aerial surveys to assess various wildlife populations including deer, beavers, otters, ducks, eagles, ospreys and trumpeter swans. — from WisDNR

BARRON — Barron Area School District plans to invest $78,000 in a washroom intended to serve mentally challenged students at Riverview Middle School and hope to qualify for $35,000 in government funds to help pay for the improvement. The washroom would be built in what is now a computer room at the middle school stated Katrina House, director of pupil services, and Terry Paulter, grounds and maintenance supervisor during the January school board meeting. John Graves, principal, told board member Chris Donica that the lab can be spared because of changes in how students use computers. “About half of our students have (laptop or tablet) computers, and we have seen less need for the (computer lab) over time,” he said. — from Barron News-Shield ••• RICE LAKE — Cameron High School Future Business Leaders of America served pancakes Saturday, Jan. 19, at Applebee’s in Rice Lake to raise money for the Humane Society of Baron County. The event raised $900 and was coordinated by Alexa Argetsinger, Sarah Joosten and Kelly Palma. — from Rice Lake Chronotype ••• BARRON — Thirty-five people braved the bitter cold and packed the auditorium Monday night, Jan. 21, to urge the Barron County Board to continue its longstanding practice of praying at the start of its meetings. Following the public comment portion of the meeting, the county board voted 27-0 to keep prayer on its agenda. Earlier last year, the Freedom from Religion Foundation threatened a lawsuit against the board if it continued with its invocation as part of government proceedings. The prayer was then moved to directly before the start of the meeting. The foundation responded with another letter stating that simply moving the prayer to before the meeting would not withstand constitutional challenge. The board has opened its meeting with an invocation led by Christian clergy since November 1957. — from Rice Lake Chronotype ••• BARRON — Quentin P. Veitch, 43, Cumberland, convicted of burglarizing the Evangelical Free Methodist Church in Barron and leaving obscene drawings behind, must register as a sex offender for 15 years following a five-year probationary term. He recently appeared in Barron County Circuit Court for sentencing after being convicted of burglarizing the church Aug. 6 and leaving obscene drawings at businesses in the county in September and October 2011 and January 2012. He must not have any contact with any juveniles, no contact with the Barron Area Community Center, Birch Avenue Apartments in Barron, any Kwik Trips or the Almena Holiday Station or the church. Judge James Babbitt imposed and stayed three years in prison and three years of extended supervision and placed Veitch on five years’ probation with four months in jail. Babbitt ordered Veitch to undergo a psychosexual evaluation and an AODA assessment and recommendations. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• POLK COUNTY — A 59-year-old New York woman was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital following a twovehicle crash Saturday afternoon, Jan. 19, which apparently occurred due to high winds. According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, a Dodge truck owned and operated by Roger Thompson, 62, rural Frederic, was traveling north on Hwy. 35, north of Hwy. 8, when high winds caught an enclosed snowmobile trailer Thompson was towing, causing him to lose control. The vehicle spun out into the southbound traffic on Hwy. 35 where the trailer was struck by a southbound 2011 Kia sport utility vehicle owned by Rental Car Financial Corp. and operated by Susan R. Laclair, Rochester, N.Y. After the crash, Laclair, along with her passenger, Carol R. VanBuskrik 75, St. Croix Falls, were extricated from their vehicle and then transported to St. Croix Regional Medical Center for treatment of their injuries. Laclair was transported by air ambulance to a Twin Cities hospital for further treatment of her injuries. Thompson claimed no injuries at the scene of the crash. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• CHETEK — At approximately 6:48 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 24, the Wisconsin State Patrol responded to a crash that occurred on Hwy. 53 at Chetek Exit / CTH I in Barron County near Chetek. Assisting agencies included Chetek Police Department, Chetek Ambulance, Chetek Fire Department and Barron County Sheriff’s Department. Upon arrival, the Trooper found a vehicle on its roof in the gore area of the Chetek off ramp. Lucille Engrisch, 83, Rice Lake, driving a 1991 Ford Tempo, was fatally injured. The lone passenger, Russell Engrisch, 57, Rice Lake, was seriously injured and transported to LMC in Rice Lake. At the time of the crash, the area was receiving light snow, and the roadway was snow covered and slippery. The preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle attempted to take the Chetek exit off of Hwy. 53 but missed the exit ramp, struck a highway sign and began to roll as it entered the ditch. The crash remains under investigation by the Wisconsin State Patrol. — from WSP

EDC elects officers, reviews projects

by Dave Zeug Special to the Register SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake Economic Development Committee held its annual meeting on Thursday, Jan. 24, at the Shell Lake City Hall. The EDC, which formerly was the Shell Lake Economic Corporation, now falls under city’s umbrella since it dropped its corporation status. The committee’s goal is to help the growth and development of business within the city. After approving the minutes of the last meeting, the committee devoted the rest of the meeting to discussing ways to make this goal a reality. Drawing attention to the city’s Main Street and updating the current signage in the city’s industrial park were the central themes to the afternoon meeting. “We’ve got to be proactive, especially with the upcoming Hwy. 63 project coming through town,” said

EDC President Ken Schultz. In addition to budgeting $500 toward a signage update at the industrial park to better reflect the new business in the park and removing those that are gone, the committee voted to spend up to $2,000 for a new sign near Main Street. The sign, which would be professionally made and installed, would reflect the various Shell Lake businesses for those traveling through the city on Hwy. 63 and would be located near the intersection of Hwy. 63 and 5th Avenue on property owned by the Shell Lake State Bank. In other agenda items, the committee nominated and voted for officers to serve during 2013. Once again, president of the EDC will be Schultz, Vice President Andy Eiche, secretary Dave Haroldson and treasurer Shane Williams. Terry Leckel and Tara Burns were also elected to serve on the EDC’s board of directors.

Two contests, two write-ins, one appointment Washburn city and village election candidates

by Gregg Westigard Special to the Register WASHBURN COUNTY – The candidate list is now complete for April 2 election for the four city and village boards in Washburn County. There will be contests in Birchwood and Spooner, write-in races in Spooner and Shell Lake, and a vacant seat on the village board in Birchwood after the election. The only simple election is in the village of Minong where four incumbents are running unopposed for re-election.

Birchwood Village Birchwood Village President Morris Gillett is running for re-election and is being challenged by Linda Zillmer, a present village board trustee whose term is not up. Birchwood has a five-member village board, unique for the area, with two trustee spots open. The candidates are incumbent Stacie Small and Gillett, with the other trustee, Robert Hayes, not seeking another term. If Gillett wins both his contests and chooses to remain village president, the two-year trustee term he was elected to will be vacant. If Zillmer is elected village president, she will need to resign as trustee, leaving a one-year vacancy until her present term ends in 2014. Either way, the village board will need to make an appointment for a vacant trustee position after the April election.

Spooner City The city of Spooner has two open seats, with a contest in Ward 1 and no candidate in Ward 3. The candidates in the Ward 1 race to succeed Bob Otto are Jocelyn Ford and Michelle Ortman. No one has filed in Ward 3 where Fred Schulter is retiring. A write-in contest will fill that seat. Incumbents James Dohm, in Ward 2, and Christopher Thompson, in Ward 4, are unopposed for re-election. Shell Lake City Shell Lake also has an open spot on its ballot in Ward 1, but a candidate is already in the running as a writein. That candidate is Josh Buckridge, who also happens to be the incumbent after his recent appointment, replacing Jane Pederson after her resignation from the city council. With Buckridge in the running, Shell Lake will have four alderperson spots on the ballot and four candidates. In Ward 1, the candidates are incumbent Don Bruce and new incumbent Buckridge. The Ward 2 unopposed candidates are Tara Burns and incumbent Terry Leckel. Ken Schultz is not seeking another term. Minong Village The Minong Village election is very simple. Four incumbents, village President Lloyd Wallace and Trustees Linda Ellenberg, Carol Nelson and Randy Johnson are all running unopposed for re-election.

Schizophrenic man buys AK-47

by Gilman Halsted Wisconsin Public Radio

MADISON - The recent purchase of an AK-47 by a mentally ill man in Madison is raising concerns in light of the recent mass shootings. The man who handed the gun over to him says there’s room for improvement in the current background check process for buying weapons. Twenty-year-old Andrew Meis is undergoing a mental health competency assessment in preparation for a hearing next week on attempted homicide charges. He bought an AK-47 on the Internet and picked it up from federally licensed Madison gun dealer Joseph Fobes, on Dec. 4. Fobes says the transaction was a routine one. “I am a pretty good judge of character and I didn‘t see anything out of the ordinary with this particular individual. We spoke of some different ranges in the area where he could go to do some practice firing. It seemed no different from any other 20-year-old I have dealt with in the

past.” Fobes ran the required background check, which did not reveal that Meis been diagnosed with schizophrenia early last year. Meis was arrested after he told a doctor on Jan. 2 he planned to kill some of his friends and neighbors. Fobes, who sold him the gun, says Meis’s mental health status should have been available to the FBI, “so when a background check is performed, that information is there, so a red flag can go up and say, ‘oh, hey, we gotta stop this transaction.’” Gun control advocate Jeri Bonavia of the Wisconsin Anti-Violence effort agrees. “How those records get included and when they get included are really things that need to be looked at ... and they haven’t been.” Efforts to include mental health records in gun purchase background checks face opposition from advocates for the mentally ill who say revealing such records violate doctor/patient confidentiality.

Jauch and Bewley announce northern listening session on mining bills

Feb. 9 listening session will include discussion of both SB1 and Sen. Cullen proposal

MADISON — Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, and Rep. Janet Bewley, D-Ashland, announced Friday, Jan. 25, that they will be holding a public listening session at the AmericInn in Ashland on Saturday, Feb. 9, beginning at 9 a.m. The event is open to the public and the discussion will focus on the two recently introduced mining bills, SB1/AB1, authored by Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, and LRB 0821, authored by Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville. “Rep. Bewley and I have asked Sen. Tiffany and his Assembly counterpart, Rep. Williams, to reconsider their decision to not hold a hearing in northern Wisconsin on this new mining legislation and to date there has been no response. The only option remaining to ensure that the citizens of the north who were deliberately excluded from the process have their voices heard is to hold this listening session instead,” said Jauch. The northern lawmakers stressed that this listening session will not be a partisan event. Their goal is to provide a more open and thoughtful process. The legislators indicated that the listening session will help make the issue more accessible to citizens who

live in the area of the proposed mine. “The committee chairs could have held a hearing somewhere in central Wisconsin to make it equally accessible for citizens from around the state to attend, but they didn’t. Someone living in Ashland or Iron counties had to drive 11 hours round trip for the chance to offer two minutes in testimony on a bill that will directly impact their community,” noted Jauch. “Instead, they chose to make the hearing convenient for their friends in southeastern Wisconsin, going so far as to reserve a room for the conservative political group Americans For Prosperity to work from during the hearing, a reservation that was placed a full three days before the committee chairs announced the hearing to the public.” The event will be open to the public and all legislators are invited to attend. Cullen, Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center and Rep. Nick Milroy, D-Superior, have already indicated they will participate, and Jauch expects more legislators to announce plans to join them in the coming days. — from the office of Sen. Jauch

Editor’s note: The Assembly and Senate mining committees have set Feb. 6 for a vote on mining legislation, the latest sign that the Republicans, who control both chambers, are eager to pass a mining bill, according to a story in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald has said that he doesn’t envision final passage until mid-March, and then with significant changes.

Oil boom could return tankers to Superior

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio SUPERIOR - Oil tankers could be returning to the port of Duluth-Superior after half a century. It’s because of the boom in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota and Montana. For part of the 1950s, tankers brought oil from the refinery in Superior down the Great Lakes, because the pipelines stopped at Superior. Once they were extended, the oil shipping business dried up. Now, Bakken oil field production has surpassed pipeline capacity. So Calumet Products says it’s exploring the idea of building an oil loading dock in Superior. Superior Calumet plant manager Dave Podratz says they’re still in the early stages of this. “The oil production in North Dakota has come up so far that the pipeline capacity has not kept up. Because of that, the oil producers in North Dakota will discount the price of oil. Because they’ve discounted it, there’s been an opportunity to load that on trains.” Podratz says having oil tankers does inspire environmental concerns. “There’s tankers moving on the Great Lakes — not necessarily this part of Lake Superior but some of the other Great Lakes, you see lots of tanker traffic. There’s some pretty specific regulations for shipping on the Great Lakes, shipping oil. Double-hulled tankers and those sorts of precautions.” The Duluth-Superior Port has been getting inquiries about shipping oil because of the Bakken boom. Port Authority Trade and Development Director Ron Johnson has been hearing about this over the past year. “Now what they’re looking at is going even farther east, to the East Coast, where there are a lot of refineries that are looking for this crude.” If Calumet finds customers for delivery, and if a pipeline isn’t built to increase capacity to the East Coast, then Calumet says it could have a dock operating by 2015.

Treats that may no longer be the way we remember them

y niece Andrea’s husband, Josh, posted the following on his Facebook status in November, “Yup just went to 15! Yes, 15 local businesses looking for the last of the Twinkies, alas, failure, but did find fruit pie, Ho Hos, one Sno ball, and the famous cupcake ... so not good for the diet.” Two thoughts occurred to me with the announcement on Nov. 21, 2012, of the closing of the wholesale baker and distributor business that was known for its Wonder Bread, Twinkies and Dolly Madison Cakes. The first thought was, should I continue to carry my sandwich to work in the container that is shaped like a slice of bread and has balloons of red, blue and yellow and the word Wonder® written on its cover? Is this container that I paid a quarter for at a garage sale going to be collector item? Then I got to wondering, what other snack foods are no longer with us. After doing some research I have the following information to share. I liked the product promoted by Bill Cosby that was launched in 1982 and had “all the goodness of pudding, frozen on a stick.” These pudding pops aren’t available from the original company, but it is reported they may be coming back under a different company’s name. Did you used to chew ”the thirst-quenching gum for the sports-minded” person that was available in lemon-lime and orange flavors? GatorGum claimed to be a dry-mouth cure for athletes and started as an experiment for the

University of Florida Gators football team. What about the Mars Marathon Bar with the wrapper that was a ruler? The Marathon name is used as an energy bar today, but originally was a chocolatecoated caramel-braid. The baking elves used to make skin-on potato chips that had the “baked-potato appeal.” The original versions are available at select locations and retailers and also under the label T.G.I Fridays Potato Skins. Hydrox was America’s first crème-filled chocolate cookie when it was launched in 1908 but met its end in 2003 because it didn’t catch on the way Oreo has. But remember Oreo O’s cereal? The Oreo-flavored Cheerios with marshmallow-flavored sprinkles were available from 1998-2007. Then there was the IceCream Cone cereal that was to bring dessert to your morning cereal bowl in chocolate chip and vanilla flavors. This brings us to Drake’s Devil Dogs that were launched in 1923. According to Grandparents.com Drake’s Cakes produced and distributed snack cakes across the northeast before being bought out by Hostess. They could be on their way out, too, that is unless another bakery company saves them. When you heard that some of your favorite sugar-filled snack cakes were on their way out, did you get caught up in the fever to get your hands on what could be your final golden sponge cake with its creamy filling?

Also Claude McCarty fell in his house and broke his hip so was taken to Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake where they pinned his hip. At this time he is at the hospital but will be released to a nursing home where he will get good care and his hip will heal. Talking with Marv Knoop he tells us that he’s keeping the woodstove full and enjoying the heat. Bernard Redding had chemo Thursday. Sandy says sometimes he doesn’t have a lot of pain to start with but does later. We hope you’re doing well, Bernard. Please keep Bernard and Sandy in your special thoughts and prayers. Talking with my favorite sister, Marie Quam, she says she isn’t doing a lot but is busy housecleaning. She gets a box out and of course she has to read everything. Sounds like me, Marie! Saturday was the Melton Christmas at the fellowship hall at the Wesleyan church. Evelyn tells me they had 62 people there and that wasn’t all of the family. Sunday they had family prayer service at their house. Yah know, I’m thinking back to when I was a little girl, and yah want to know who I’m thinking of? Well, it’s my

I was so saddened to hear on Monday of the passing of Caren Olson, Shell Lake, and extend sympathy to her family. Talked to Greg Krantz and he said he caught a flu bug so no good news there. I enjoyed visiting with Vernon Pierce. He called and said I didn’t know them but he reads the Sarona column. He and wife Peggy live in his home place on Monday Lake after moving up from the Twin Cities. He graduated from Shell Lake in 1952 and at one time milked cows for his uncle and aunt, the Mel Smiths, back when he was in high school. The farm is now Fuernot Farms, the farm we bought. He also mentioned a dog they had that was such a good cattle dog. I asked him if the dog’s name was Dime, which it was. When we moved here in October 1951, the Smiths left us their dog because they only moved a mile away and thought the dog would have to be tied so it didn’t come back to the farm. That was some of our memories of over 60 years ago. And we know many of the same people, so we had a nice chat. He says they’ve been catching some nice northern and crappies out of the lake.

brother, Carl. Carl would hitch up the two horses in the wintertime to a big manure sled we had on skis. He would scoop all those nutrients out of the gutter and had a board at the end of the sled and up he went, dumping those great nutrients. When he was done taking the nutrients out of the gutter, he’d get on the sled and away he’d go to put it on Dad’s land. Judy and Ginger, the horses, must have been taught to go ahead in the field, and Carl would get on the sled behind and throw off the cow manure. When he was done, he’d get those horses in gear and come a-flying home into our big yard and hold the horses tight and the sled would slide all across our yard. He’d get a kick out of it as we all did. My pups. This week we had some fresh snow, and I had both my pups out and that little Rammy just loved the snow. In fact, I couldn’t get him to come to me to the house. He ran everywhere but to the house, just loving the snow. I’m a wondering what he will do when spring comes. Rammy goes in my bedroom, and all of a sudden he’s alone and cries. So I give a yell to him, “I’m here.” Then he comes out a little later. Jan. 22, I saw 23 wild turkeys in Duane Johnson’s field. They came single file and were pecking for food. News from the Jan. 15 Town of Dewey meeting. Phil Lindeman reported that Burnett County is working on the dispatch center with Polk County. Burnett County members of the board will have a policy meeting with Polk County. The sheriff’s department still has three deputies out and hopefully this will be

settled soon. The Town of Dewey Board reported that they have had bridge inspection but they forgot one bridge. Mark is to get ahold of them. Woody has reported he has been cutting trees in the ditches, etc., and also has been snowplowing, and he says he used four loads of salt on our roadways. The next Town of Dewey Board meeting will be Feb. 12, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. Everyone welcome. Caucus meeting was held Jan. 26 at the Dewey Town Hall. Nominated for chairman was Mark Knoop. Supervisors were Phil Scheu, Kyle Vanderhoof, Keith Mechtel and Duane Johnson. Treasurer is Bill Holden. Clerk is Pam Brown and assessor is John Biver. I think we did this meeting in about seven minutes with Marv Knoop chairing the meeting. Mark your calendars for Saturday, Feb. 9. Yes, that’s the day for the big spaghetti feed benefit for Rich and Patti Fenney at the Shell Lake Community Center. Serving will be from 4-7 p.m. Please keep Jim Toll in your special thoughts and prayers as he’s had the flu for two weeks. Dave was up to his pa’s for the weekend. Sunday, Jim and Dave attended the Shell Lake FFA ice-fishing contest. Jim won a cutting board, and Dave a certificate to Becky’s. Jim tells us his sister, Tam Toll, of La Crosse, broke her wrist. Get-well wishes to Tam. Getwell wishes also to Marilyn Toll, Jim’s wife. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

MADISON — Wisconsin’s three-month open enrollment application window for the 2013-14 school year begins Monday, Feb. 4, allowing parents an opportunity to send their children to any public school district in the state. Traditionally, children in Wisconsin are assigned to school districts based on the location of their parents’ home. The state’s open enrollment program, also known as public school choice, began in the 1998-99 school year and has experienced steady growth over the years. The open enrollment application period is the only tuition-free opportunity for most parents to apply for their children to attend a public school in a school district other than the one in which they live. “Wisconsin’s long-running open enrollment program supports parental involvement and shared responsibility for educating children,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers. “Parents who are involved in their children’s education contribute to the success of their students and the strength of local public schools. Wisconsin’s open enrollment program is one way for parents to take an active role in their children’s education,” he said. Under the full-time public school open enrollment

State reduces tax credits, affects rural poor

PAGE 8 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - JANUARY 30, 2013

by Shamane Mills Wisconsin Public Radio

STATEWIDE – As the federal government tries to raise awareness about a tax credit for the working poor, Wisconsin is seeing savings by reducing what’s known as the “earned income tax credit.” A legislative fiscal bureau analysis shows the amount Wisconsin paid for the earned income tax credit declined 18 percent last year. That’s because of cuts made in the state budget. What the state saved, individuals lost. Tamarine Cornelius is with the nonprofit Wisconsin Budget Project. She says the reduced credit is tantamount to a tax increase for people who can least afford it: “Changes that would take about $500 a year out of the pocket of a single mom working at minimum wage trying to support her two kids. Because this credit was so deeply cut last time, these families are essentially paying more in taxes.”

Cornelius looked at which parts of the state were benefiting the most from Wisconsin‘s state earned income tax credit. It’s rural residents. Fitfeen percent of those in rural areas use the credit as opposed to 13 percent of those in metropolitan counties. Outreach and free tax preparation help boost awareness. Still, 20 percent of U.S. residents eligible for the federal earned income tax credit don’t receive it because they don’t file a return. Christopher Miller is with the Internal Revenue Service. “About a third of the people eligible for EITC changes every year. Probably because people lose a job or get one, or they have a child or they change their marital status. And that changing population is why it’s so important to raise new awareness every year.” Half of all states offer the credit, in addition to the federal government.

A young wrestler has to come to terms with the fact that he lost. Five-year-old Reyana Ladd stands triumphant while her opponent extends his hand, although he was not able to look at her. The fathers of both these wrestlers are proud of their young wrestlers, learning to win and learning to lose are two valuable lessons in life.

Fantastic heroes right or wrong

by Mary B. Olsen It’s not easy to ignore the current media circus that revealed that America’s famed cyclist Lance Armstrong, winner of the Tour de France, had won by taking drugs. The fallen hero didn’t follow the rules. Not long ago, it was the golf star, Tiger Woods, who became a fallen hero. He gained public scorn for being unfaithful to his wife. The NASA heroes of the space program have been grounded. Some of our sports figures and even our movie heroes have fallen from grace. In the old days when my generation was growing up, our youth had heroes of power and might. It’s true we had great respect for people like doctors, teachers, religious leaders and political figures. Our elders argued and thrashed out problems, of course, but young people had heroes to admire. Our sources of information came via radio, with broadcasts of local news, as well as national and international news events. We had movies, magazines and newspapers. Yet we grew up with heroes, reallife people, like Charles Lindbergh, Eddie Rickenbacker, Amelia Earhart and members of the Armed Forces fighting in World War II. We had the heavyweight boxing title champion, Joe Louis. We had Babe Ruth, who hit 60 home runs, and other baseball legends. At the time, we didn’t hear about the lifestyle of a sports hero. Sports writers were famous for their way of commenting on games using the most colorful language. We had heroes in horseracing, like the famous Seabiscuit and Dan Patch, and the jockeys. Another thing kids had was the comic book heroes. From the beginning, the comic book was criticized in the media. The children should not read such trash.

We read them. We collected them and traded with other kids. We read library books, too. The comic book heroes were larger than life. After Superman came along, there were comic figures that came over from the funny pages, and many new ones. We had Batman and Robin. We had Little Orphan Annie. She had Daddy Warbucks to look after her. Flash Gordon was a space traveler. In the movies, he was really Buster Crabbe, the actor. We had Popeye the Sailor Man, a hero to his girlfriend, Olive Oyl. We had Captain Marvel, a hero, really a little boy named Billy Batson who changed into the great superhero, Captain Marvel, when the boy spoke the word, Shazam. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could say the magic word and become a superhero? We had radio heroes, too. There was Captain Midnight and the Green Hornet. In the afternoon after school, kids listened on the radio to their programs. The ladies had their daytime soap operas, and in early evening there were family programs. Also we had Gang Busters, where the heroes were officers of the law. Young people listened to the Lone Ranger on radio and followed him into television. There was a larger-than-life hero! The masked rider, astride the great horse, Silver, came thundering out of the past to right wrongs and stand up for the little guy. He had to be masked because he didn’t follow the rules, like most of the comic book heroes. He could fight crime, like all the fantastic heroes. We had a lot of cowboy heroes in movies of the old days when we were winning the West. We were presented with the Depression, followed by World War II. In June of 1950, we went into the police action that we call the Korean War. After that we had the Cold War. We rejoiced when our flag was planted on the moon. Every four years we celebrate the Olympic stars. We follow the sports scene. Base-

Yea! Snow! Finally it is starting to look like winter around here. The Red Brick Cafe had some pretty special customers stop by on Friday. CM1 Rogers and Airman Jahn from Navy Operational Reserve Center in Minneapolis had been attending a military funeral at Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spooner and stopped by for lunch before heading back to the base. Sharai Hefty was waiting tables, and between Debbie’s excellent food and Sharai’s antics, they seemed to be having a very good time. They said that they are in the area quite often, and that they would definitely stop back at the cafe. Peg Thompson and the youth group (and other volunteers) will be serving spaghetti supper on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 13, in the Barronett Lutheran Church basement. Peg has sign-up sheets hanging up at the church in case anyone wants to volunteer their services or any of the food. The supper is always very good, with friendly service and good fellowship. Hope you can join us. By the way, doesn’t that seem awfully early for Ash Wednesday? I just looked, and Easter is March 31, so I guess that’s about right. Merl Overvig and his son, Eric, had a father/son vacation earlier this month. They spent three days ice fishing on Lake of the Woods in northern Minnesota. They caught 11 little fish, one 18-1/2-inch walleye, which they kept, and one 20-1/2inch walleye, which they had to throw back. Merl said that, even though they didn’t catch a lot of fish, they had a very good time. Shirley and Merl were at Balsam Lake on Friday, watching granddaughter, Kalea Lemke, play basketball. In about the middle of the second game, Kalea’s mom, Ronalea, got an emergency call telling her that her dad had been having chest pains and was in the hospital.

Ronalea and hubby, Mark, left immediately for the hospital, and Shirley and Merl stayed, watched the rest of the games, and took all three children home to spend the weekend with them. The kids, of course, were not prepared for a weekend visit at Grandma’s house and had not packed overnight bags. Luckily, Shirley always has extra toothbrushes for just such emergencies, and the kids are big enough now to wear some other things for nightgowns. Kalea, Elizabeth and Addison were perfect little angels all weekend, and Shirley took them back home right after church on Sunday. All’s well that ends well. Their grandpa had surgery and is recovering nicely, and Kalea’s team won second place in the tournament. I got an e-mail from Kris Matyska saying that her hubby, Don, wanted to let everyone know that the friendly neighborhood moocher has a birthday coming up. Actually, it has already been, Jan. 29, but I’m sure that if anyone would like to make him a pie as a belated-birthday gift, he would still accept it. And, when I talked to Terry recently, he said that it was funny that Don (aka the rebel biker) failed to mention that he also had a birthday coming up on Feb. 17. Let’s see now, Don is getting older, he has a Harley ... and a wife ... funny he forgot about his birthday. Guess who I bumped into on Sunday afternoon? Amy and Nicholas Maline. I hadn’t seen them for ages. Nicholas is in second grade already, and the last time I saw them he must have been about 2 years old. Amy said that she is working at Cameron School as an interpreter for a hearing-impair child. It was so nice to see them. She said that they will stop by for a visit sometime. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you are enjoying the snow. See you later.

ball players have been on steroids or drugs. Now we are in a global economy. Everything has changed. Maybe it’s the electronic devices prevalent these days that seem to have laid bare things that were not open to the public in other times. The reporting has certainly

changed. And the members of the media try to trump one another. There is a trend toward bringing down heroes, especially American heroes. We should remember that real-life heroes are only human. It is time to celebrate the Super Bowl. Who knows? Maybe better times are coming

On Monday, we were having snow showers and fog, but our temperatures were in the 30s. Some places in southern Wisconsin had freezing rain and slippery roads. I was looking forward to the sun coming out. Our sympathy to the family of Tammy Frienwood who passed away last week of multiple sclerosis and pneumonia. She had a very long battle with MS. Sunday we had our annual meeting at Salem Lutheran Church, and we had a very good turnout. Sincere sympathy to the family of Caren (Morey) Olsen who passed away Sunday morning in Marshfield. She had one daughter, Heidi (Chuck) Hile, and two grandchildren, Olivia and Logan. She has three sisters, Connie, Judy and Jene. We will surely miss her as she was very active in church and community events. I am happy to announce the birth of a boy to Sarah (Parker) and her husband, Eddie. He was born in Wichita, Kan. Joni and Mark Parker are the grandparents and Ruth Swan the great-grandmother. He has a sister, Audrey. Happy birthday to Marie Crowley who celebrates her birthday here at Glenview.

Ruth Swan treated Mark Parker and his mother, Donna, to dinner in Spooner last Thursday. Sunday afternoon, Lillian Ullom joined her sister, Louisa Schede, and brother, Frank Mortensen, and his son, Brian, to supper at Florence Carlson’s in Spooner. Talking to Myron Bolterman he has been doing a lot of fishing, so they have fresh fish quite frequently. Alvin and Judy Olson of Ocala, Fla., are here visiting with Alvin’s sister, Arlys Santiago, and other family. Mavis and Roger Flach were anniversary guests of their family to breakfast at the Prime on Sunday morning. Congratulations! On Sunday, Greg and Cheryl Odden took Jean Odden out to eat after church. Greg and Cheryl just returned from their trip to Hawaii sponsored by a seed company. Kim and Deb, of Cameron, visited Jean Sunday night and also stopped to see me here at Glenview. Andy Wejnerowski celebrated his birthday last Wednesday with cake and coffee here. Happy birthday greetings to you, Andy. When it comes to difficult acts to follow, it’s pretty hard to beat the good old days.

Marlene and Bruce Swearingen, Donna, Gerry, Nina and Lawrence Hines, and Karen and Hank Mangelsen were supper guests of Lida Nordquist Tuesday. Lawrence and Nina Hines visited John and Diana Mangelsen Thursday and had supper there. Hank and Karen Mangelsen called on Nina and Lawrence Hines Friday. Saturday visitors of Gerry and Donna Hines were Barry and Josh Hines, Karen and Hank Mangelsen, Brenda and Jessie Sweet, and Kristie Holman. Brenda, Jessie and Kristie stayed overnight.

Lida Nordquist and Jan and Hannah Schott visited Doris Brackin in Arden Hills, Minn., on Saturday. Bunny and Kim Johnson were there visiting also. Karen and Hank Mangelsen were Sunday afternoon visitors of Grace, Hannah, Holly and Jake Mangelsen. Clam River Tuesday Club will meet Wednesday, Feb. 6, at 1:30 p.m. at the home of Judy Leonard. There will be a gift exchange ($10) for those who care to participate. Also, the ladies will play the dice game, so each person is asked to bring several small wrapped items for that.

What’s it like to be a physical therapist?

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — Mavis Melton was born near Carrington, N.D. She grew up on a farm in the frozen north and when she was in fifth grade her dad had shoulder surgery and lots of physical therapy afterward. You might say her dad’s experience helped set the tone for the career she would choose and love. “I was always a kid who studied hard and science always interested me. All along I liked biology and the study of anatomy and I was intrigued with physical therapy right from the start, although I did consider pharmacy and medical school, too.” Melton graduated from high school in 1993 and then chose Concordia, the private evangelical Lutheran college in Moorhead, Minn. “The professors were great and being a private school, we studied human cadavers as opposed to other schools that used animals only. I was amazed to see how amazingly the human body is put together. The Bible tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and it’s so true.” After graduating from Concordia, Melton went on for her master’s at the University of Iowa. After graduating, she was ready and able to put her career on the fast track, but 1999 coincided with President Clinton’s Balanced Budget Refinement Act that cut many medical services from Medicare and the job market crashed. “Suddenly the help-wanted pages in health care went down from a thick folder full to only a few pages.” Melton says this is where the unknown path ahead was directed by the Lord. “My friend from PT school learned of a job in Spooner from another classmate whose family had a cabin in the Spooner area. In February 2000 she interviewed for the job of PT posted by the Spooner Health System and she had even found an apartment. I had worked at a Bible camp in Danbury a few summers, so I knew where Spooner was. Come to find out, she decided against taking the job and more or less gave it to me.

Mavis Melton is one of four physical therapists working at Spooner Physical Therapy Specialists in Spooner. — Photo by Diane Dryden

“I had the interview, was hired and worked in the PT department for eight years. This was a very good place to start my career because I learned so much and I had to keep my skills fresh because we worked with the hospital and nursing home patients, we did home visits and outpatient PT. I learned many manual skills working there including joint mobilization techniques and procedures to reduce tight muscles. Shortly after moving to Spooner, I also met my husband, Brian. “At that time, the PT department in the Spooner hospital was the single choice anyone had for local therapy. Another opportunity came up, though, when Amy Greenfield and Mark Smith opened Spooner Physical

Therapy and Rehab Specialists. The first office they opened was in Rice Lake and then they added Turtle Lake. Spooner came next, quickly followed by Clear Lake and Hayward. It was so hard to leave my friends and my job at the hospital, but I decided to move on to this new opportunity, so this is where I am now. “If it wasn’t for all the needed paperwork, it would be the perfect job,” she says. “But knowing how important it is to follow a patient’s progress, the paperwork is a necessary part of the treatment. Every patient we see gets treated very specifically. We tailor a program to fit their needs while constantly charting their progress for the insurance companies. Some of the needs we see are recent changes in their lives. Maybe it’s an injury or a stroke, or a recent surgery that brings them in. Sometimes it’s a long-standing pain that the patient finally gets tired of dealing with and they come in for help. Most insurance companies require a visit to a doctor first, but for some companies it doesn’t matter. Either way, we feel strongly that people shouldn’t assume they have to live with pain and these days it doesn’t hurt to be your own health advocate.” Melton works with three other physical therapists, an athletic trainer and a great support staff. They see patients ranging from young children to the very elderly. “We also give the older clients information on how to stay safe at home while adding a healthy dose of hope with the treatments, and we encourage everyone to do their at-home exercises faithfully and according to the visual printout we give them to take home.” Melton also helps patients change their lifestyle habits that might include slouching, staying in one position for too long or wearing improper footwear. “I am very happy to be working as a PT and I’m constantly learning new skills thanks to the continued education we receive and the great staff I am surrounded with. I know the Lord has blessed my career path and has given me the opportunity and ability to try to help people improve their quality of life.”

Tamara Ullom Friermood

Tamara “Tammy” Friermood, 48, Barnes, passed away peacefully Jan. 25, 2013, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, Minn., after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. Tammy was born Oct. 19, 1968, in Amery, to parents Howard and Karen Ullom. She attended school in Shell Lake and Drummond. Tammy married Rick Friermood on Sept. 13, 1986. Together they had sons Kyle and Kevin. They later divorced. Tammy worked as a cook most of her life in many

area restaurants. She could cook like no other. Her sons especially loved her ham and cheese omelets. As Tammy’s disease progressed these past few years, one of things she really enjoyed was going to the casino with Mark to “push buttons” as she called it. Tammy is survived by her best friend and companion of 17 years, Mark Granlund, Barnes; sons, Kyle, Barnes, and Kevin, Fort Riley, Kan.; father, Howard (Deb) Ullom, Trego; mother, Karen Doll, Hayward; sister, Tanya Ullom, Hayward; grandma, Lillian Ullom, Shell Lake; many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. A celebration of life will be held at the VFW Hall in Barnes on Friday, Feb. 1, from noon until 4 p.m.

Paul John Fritsch Jr., 77, died Jan. 24, 2013, at the Lakeview Nursing Home, West Salem. Paul was born March 20, 1935, in Antigo, to Paul John Sr. and Gladys (Bowen) Fritsch. He attended Antigo schools, enjoyed science magazines, driving his car, smoking cigarettes and watching TV. Paul joined the United States Air Force with his best friend in the buddy system. His basic training took place at Lackland AFB in Texas, and he was transferred to Park AFB in California where he received a medical discharge. Paul worked with his father as a bricklayer in Antigo before moving to the Tomah Medical Center at Tomah, for about 20 years. He moved to Wausau and lived there for many years before moving back to Tomah.

Paul moved into the Rolling Hills Nursing Home at Sparta in late 2010 and lived there for over a year, before moving to the Lakeview Nursing Home at West Salem. Survivors are sisters Eileen (Donald) Artz, Wausau, and Bonnie (Kenneth) Brandt, Spooner; nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Dorothy; brothers-in-law Clarence DeLyria and Leonard Bombinski; niece Vicki Brandt; and great-niece Madison Leigh Brandt. A memorial service for family members will be held in the spring with interment at the Elmwood Cemetery in Antigo. The Scalzo-Taylor Funeral Home, Spooner, was entrusted with arrangements.

Caren J. Olsen, 71, Shell Lake, died Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013, at St. Joseph Hospital in Marshfield. She was born May 25, 1941, in Cumberland, to Howard and Clarice (Jacobson) Morey. Caren was primarily raised in the Shell Lake area, graduating from Shell Lake High School in 1959. She was married to Alvin Olsen in 1959, and they lived on various air bases across the country before settling in the Twin Cities. There, she found work at Honeywell, rising to facilities manager, accepting early retirement in 2000. Shortly thereafter, she moved back to Shell Lake to be near her daughter and family. Caren was blessed with a servant’s heart, setting a wonderful example for her entire family and all those who loved and admired her. She lived as a steward of her community, wherever that was. Caren believed her own life was filled with blessings, and insisted on shar-

ing those with others. In Shell Lake in recent years, she was extremely active at Salem Lutheran Church, visiting the nursing home and donating to the area food pantry among many other charitable organizations. She is survived by daughter Heidi (Charles) Hile, Rice Lake; grandchildren Logan and Olivia; sisters Connie Richter, Judee (Roger) Rydberg and Jene Morey, all of Shell Lake; nephew and nieces, Mike (Dawn) Richter, Lynn (Gary) Berghuis, Julee (Scott) Prefer and Jodee (Curtis) Schaben and their families and her lifelong friend Brad Semm, Spooner. Caren was preceded in death by her father and mother. A celebration of Caren’s life will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, Feb. 1, at Salem Lutheran Church, Shell Lake, with the Rev. Arvid Sundet officiating. Burial of cremains will be in Shell Lake Cemetery. Visitation will be from 10-11 a.m. on Friday at the church. Skinner Funeral Home, Shell Lake, was entrusted with arrangements.

Saturday, Jan. 12 At 6:10 p.m., Joshua S. Lauritsen, 23, Spooner, was eastbound on CTH E, one-tenth mile east of Blackburn Road in Spooner, when according to him, the back of his truck “kicked” out. He tried to recover and could not due to ice. His passenger was Gordon J. Schlapper, 30, Spooner. The vehicle rolled and had to be towed with severe damage. No injuries were reported.

Friday, Jan. 18 At 6:26 a.m., Richard C.

s the Countess of Huntington lay dying, she said, “My work is complete, and I have nothing to do but to go to my Father.” Sarah, a woman of faith and courage whose story is found in the Old Testament, believed that her work was nearing completion. One day God spoke to her husband who was 100 years old and said to him, “Sarah will give you a son!” When Sarah heard this, she laughed because she was 90 years old. God had a very special plan for her in her old age, even if she did not think it possible. God knew that her work was not done. And just as God said, she gave birth to a son and named him Isaac. Sarah is an example of someone who trusted God and became known as a woman of great faith. There are days when each of us comes to the conclusion that our best days have passed us by. But God never comes to that conclusion. His word reminds us that the best is always in front of us and that we can always do more for him and through him. Our age does not matter.

The table above summarizes CWD collection efforts as of Jan. 3 and does not include the initial CWDpositive deer shot during the 2011 gun deer season. The samples collected so far have come from hunterharvested deer, deer with disease concerns, car-killed deer, agricultural damage permits and landowner permits issued to willing landowners within a two-mile radius of the initial CWD-positive deer. Inconclusive results are from deer where the lymph node sample was not viable due to decomposition. – from the DNR

lations. That’s a really good thing,” Rasmussen said. The DNR continues to extend gratitude to the community and contributors for making CWDsampling efforts successful. Without the help from local landowners, hunters, citizens, private businesses and others, the DNR would not have reached sampling goals. They will continue monitoring CWD in the months ahead, while monitoring car-killed deer, and will issue permits to willing landowners in the immediate area where CWD was detected.

DNR to issue CWD permits to willing landowners The Department of Natural Resources is currently issuing permits to willing landowners within a two-mile radius of Shell Lake to harvest deer for chronic wasting disease testing. These permits are transferrable to other hunters who live

outside the two-mile monitoring area. The permits are valid from the day of issuance until March 31, or until a quota of 125 deer are harvested in this area. People interested in harvesting an adult deer of either sex must also possess a valid 2012 Wisconsin archery or gun deer hunting license. If issued one of these permits, you may hunt on any land, public or private (with permission), open to hunting within the two-mile intensive monitoring area. If you harvest a deer with one of these permits, the head must be submitted to the DNR for CWD testing. The permits are being issued to ensure that the DNR receives samples for CWD testing in the area immediately surrounding where the initial CWD-positive deer was found. If you have questions, or are interested in obtaining one of these permits, please contact DNR CWD biologist Mark Rasmussen at 715-635-4025 or MarkA.Rasmussen@wisconsin.gov. – with information from DNR
