by Jessica Beecroft Conner Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY – Bette Colville, a retired physician’s assistant, a citizen member of the board for the health and human services and a board member of the free clinic, explained to county supervisors at the regular monthly meeting Tuesday, Feb. 19, how the free clinic is working in Barron/Rusk/ Washburn counties. According to Colville, the clinic is available because of all the volunteers who make it possible. “You cannot offer anything at the clinic that you don’t have a volunteer to provide,” she added. Currently, one in five people do not have access to health insurance nationwide. The uninsured are neighbors, co-workers, friends and family members. Badger Care Plus Core program is starting but has many exceptions including a 12-month waiting period to become eligible after having access to health insurance. Unemployment rates in the area have risen. June 2009 rates were Barron County 9 percent, Rusk County 13 percent and Washburn County 9.6 percent. In the first five months of 2009, area hospitals reported charity-care demand had doubled. Surrounding area free clinics, including Eau Claire, Chippewa, Dunn and St. Croix County, are operating at full capacity. They anticipate similar demand in Barron, Rusk and Washburn counties. Since June 2010, the free clinic has been open

to the public the second and fourth Tuesday each month from 5-9 p.m. They operate from 100 percent donations. To qualify for the free clinic, you need to be below the 200-percent poverty guideline. The free clinic is partially sponsored by local hospitals, Lakeview Medical Center, Spooner Health System, Cumberland Memorial Hospital and Mayo Clinic Health System-Barron, that rotate processing lab work. The clinic is limited to a limited scope of practice, but they still see several patients. The focus is on adult and pediatric primary care, limited preventative care and chronic disease management. They work with a lot of self-limited illnesses, diabetic testing, depression treatment and other chronic diseases that can be managed on an outpatient basis. So far this year, the clinic has seen approximately 350 patients.Those who would like to visit the free clinic should contact them at 715-736-3633, 1035 N. Main St., Suite G02, Rice Lake, WI 54868. WCA a good resource County supervisors were encouraged to get involved with the Wisconsin Counties Association. Finance Director Mike Keefe told the county board of supervisors that this organization is a good resource to get involved in. The major resources offered by the organization are lobbying, federal and state, county resources and teaching. Membership to the WCA costs the county about $4,200/year which includes the monthly magazine that the supervisors receive.

New security system in school

by Jessica Beecroft Conner Register staff writer SHELL LAKE – Superintendent Jim Connell reported at the board of education meeting on Monday, Feb. 25, that Mosaic has started installing the new security system. The system should be complete within a week. Connell and some office staff will be visiting local schools with similar systems to ask questions about screening and be ready to use the system soon.

The school has also updated its policy on lockdowns and has worked with local law enforcement to ensure the students know how to respond to an emergency situation should the need arise. When visiting the school, you will be screened at the front doors, and then let in when appropriate. More information will be available as it released.

New business opportunities on Spooner’s Walnut Street

The 30-foot distance from the square pillars to the back wall is the size of the original grocery store cum funeral and furniture store.

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — Back in 1925, when Harry Dahl graduated from Spooner High School, there was a 30-foot-wide grocery store on Walnut Street owned by Louis Isabella. Remember this because it will come in handy later. Coming from a family fully vested in the railroad industry, Dahl decided to break the mold and become a funeral director, changing the direction of the family’s focus because he had two sisters who became nurses in the military and a brother who worked as an Air Force physician. When Dahl returned from his school at the U of M, he came back and bought the Isabellas grocery store in order to set up his business. Now you would think he would have set up the type of funeral parlor that exists today, but you would be wrong things were different in 1930. “Most people kept their family members in the house back then and the funeral was often held there, too,” said son Mort. Harry, never one to pass up an opportunity, decided that he could sell furniture out of the front of the buildMort Dahl followed his fa- ing and use the back for the ther, Harry, in both the furni- funerals that weren’t held at home.

worked and he and his wife, Martha Morton Dahl, also a Spooner graduate and fellow classmate of Harry’s, set up housekeeping and started their family. Two daughters were born and then their son, Morton, named after his mother’s maiden name, came on the scene. Things were going well until 1948 when a fire destroyed half the block, including the funeral home. Most people would have seen this as a tragedy, but Harry saw it as an opportunity to buy the house behind his store from the Episcopalians to use for his new funeral home. “Amazingly he never missed a day of work because he was back in business the very next day after the fire. He added on a large addition in the back of the house and eventually sold the original home for a dollar, and then built the front part of what is now the Dahl Funeral Home, which is located on the corner of Elm and Summit streets. When the stores started to be rebuilt on Walnut Street, Harry rebuilt his store but this time it just carried furniture. Now back to Mort. He was a 1962 graduate of Spooner High School and followed in his father’s college footsteps

and he too became a funeral director. ”An important part of the position was not only doing the job, but connecting with the families in order to put their minds at ease.” He worked with his father for a dozen years, between 1967 to 1979, when his father died. Mort then became the head of the business and eventually sold it in 1995. He had married Stephanie, who came to the area as a second-grade teacher, and they had a daughter, Leslie. All four burned stores had been rebuilt and eventually as they came up for sale, Mort bought them. One was the Schultz Brothers Variety Store and the other housed the JCPenney store for years. Now he owned half the block, and he broke through walls, making most of it one large furniture and home ornaments store with light touches of candles, cards and gifts. It was Stephanie and her sister, Nancy Nelson, that started the Spooner General Store, along with daughter Leslie. Fast forward to recent history and think about the two stores on the other side of Walnut Street that sat directly across the street, that, in their day, were busy and prospering. One was the National Tea grocery store and the other one was the original Palace Theatre. As the years went by, the grocery store became an Ace Hardware store and after the theater moved to its present location, the Super Valu moved in followed by the Coast to Coast Hardware store. Ace eventually bought the Coast to Coast location and doubled their store. When the hardware store moved out to River Street, the space sat empty for over three years. Mort, a wise businessman, knew that a full downtown is a prosperous downtown, so he has purchased the space and boarded up the opening between them inside and has created two spaces that are for rent or for sale. The Thimbles fabric store, now located in Trego, will be moving in soon and Mort has a few people looking at the other space. He has his renovation plans made that include removing the metal siding outside and exposing the beautiful brick beneath. He’s also replacing the windows. With an attitude of leaving the town better than you found it, the Dahls are fulfilling that ideal. Their own upscale shops bring people into town on a regular basis for some of their Flex-Steel furniture, cabin décor and furniture or the clever home accessories that include witty signs. The Spooner General Store is known for their fudge, candies, and kitchen and houseware items and the plethora of items made for children.

The Spooner General Store is run by Stephanie Dahl, her daughter Leslie, and Stephanie’s sister, Nancy Nelson.

Rep. Smith responds to governor’s budget address

MADISON – Stephen Smith, D–Shell Lake, issued the following response to Gov. Scott Walker’s budget address, which took place within the Assembly Chambers on Wednesday night, Feb. 20. “The governor’s budget address tonight was a good starting point for our future, and I am looking forward to working with both the governor and the majority party to help put our state’s economy back on track toward prosperity for everyone. I am hopeful that we will be able to put public education and worker training back on track for our state. At the same time, we need to continue supporting our small, ma and pa businesses and help keep Main Street Wisconsin thriving,” said Rep. Smith. Walker’s speech highlighted lowering taxes, increased state spending on private voucher schools with a 1-percent increase in aid to public schools, investment in transportation infrastructure, and expanding the number of samples in the DNA database for solving and preventing crimes. “I have concerns with some aspects of the governor’s proposals, especially in

regard to the denial of federal funding for Medicaid support and private school voucher programs,” stated Smith. “I am not sure that sending private schools a taxpayer-funded windfall while barely increasing public and university education funding is an effective way to help our students and children get the necessary skills to compete for jobs in the future. The taxpayers of the 75th Assembly District pay a fair share of their hardearned dollars to go to support their local schools, it’s just not right to ask them to pay for unaccountable voucher schools,” said Smith. “I believe that we can fix our economy without sacrificing quality of life here in Wisconsin, and I am looking forward to working with all of my colleagues to help the people of Wisconsin and return our state to prominence,” stated Smith. Smith had the opportunity of escorting Walker to the state Assembly chambers for the budget address along with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle and from both houses. — from the office of Rep. Smith

HAYWARD — Grassroots activists and leaders from four northern Wisconsin counties met in Hayward on Sunday, Feb. 24, to strategize and strengthen the GOP. The meeting was hosted by leadership from the Republican Party of Wisconsin and keynoted by Joe Fadness, executive director of the RPW. In the wake of the November election, the RPW has established four full-time regional offices across the state and rolled out a grassroots program titled Go Red. “This initiative is really about effectively selling our message of economic growth and opportunity and encouraging Republicans to provide great customer service,” said Jim Miller, 7th Congressional District chair and Hay-

ward resident. “The focus needs to start at the local level; making our communities better. The fundamentals of governing have not changed. We all want good stable employment, economic opportunity, good schools for our kids and grandkids, and the ability to retire comfortably. We realize the importance of a social safety net for those who truly need it. But faced with a looming financial crisis, we cannot tax and spend our way to prosperity. We (the Republican Party) have to focus on leadership and provide solutions.” The Republican Party has over 30 similar sessions scheduled across the state. — submitted

by Chuck Quirmbach Wisconsin Public Radio MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to end residency requirements for local government employees is an example of the state acting as an Orwellian “Big Brother.” Barrett used his State of the City speech on Monday, Feb. 25, to launch another attack on Walker’s state budget proposal. “For the state to now swoop in and wipe out our home authority is the very

definition of Big Brother government,” Barrett said. “This is not the way to govern. And I am asking the state Legislature to leave residency a local issue: take it out of the budget.” More than 100 Wisconsin communities have local residency laws. Walker said over the weekend that Barrett’s argument for maintaining residency requirements is weak. He also says he supported residency laws as Milwaukee County executive, because he thought that the Milwaukee County Board would not change the law.

by Steve Roisum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE – A provision in Gov. Scott Walker’s latest budget is causing concern among some farmers in the state. For decades, foreign investors and corporations couldn’t purchase more than 640 acres of land in the state. The provision was originally put in place over concern Canada was trying to buy up land in Minnesota and other states. Now, Walker says he wants those restrictions lifted because it conflicts with international trade treaties. Kara Slaughter is the government relations director with the Wisconsin Farmers Union. She says the proposed change could make already ex-

pensive farmland even more costly. “We open the floodgates to a tremendous influx of investment capital into the farmland sector, that could make ownership of farmland simply unattainable for average farms.” Others, however, doubt there will a land rush. UW-Madison agriculture economist Bruce Jones says outside buyers may not think Wisconsin farmland is a good long-term investment. “While this may be a short-run good investment, in the long run they may feel better getting in liquid investments such as stocks and bonds and things like that.” Whether or not the restrictions will be lifted is still unclear. Lawmakers must still approve the change.

SPOONER — Spooner Health System hosted a hospital listening session with U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, R-WI, on Thursday, Feb. 21. About 50 health-care leaders from across northern Wisconsin gathered to hear directly from Congressman Duffy on all that is happening in Washington, D.C., respective to health-care issues. Duffy is a sophomore member of the U.S. House of Representatives and was elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2012. He was born and raised in Hayward. He previously served as the district attorney for Ashland County. In his current role as U.S. representative, his district spans a good portion of northern Wisconsin, including many rural and Critical Access Hospitals like Spooner Health System. As one would expect, much of the session was centered around Medicare and Medicaid cuts and their potential impact on care. Other topics included changes in insurance and possible changes for Critical Access Hospitals. For over a year,

CAHs, small, rural hospitals that are the backbone of rural health care in Wisconsin, have been targeted by a number of proposals that would result in decreased funding and threaten access to care for some of the most vulnerable populations. “We were honored to host the listening session,” says Mike Schafer, SHS CEO. “It was a great opportunity for hospital constituents and leaders to hear from Duffy. Likewise, it proved to be a good venue for hospital leaders to ask questions and voice their concerns as it relates to health care.” The session was organized by the Wisconsin Hospital Association as part of WHA’s Protect Hospital Care campaign aimed at fighting continued federal hospital payment cuts.

TURTLE LAKE — GreenWhey Energy Inc. announced Monday, Feb. 18, it has secured the construction and long-term financing required to construct and operate its innovative anaerobic digester facility in Turtle Lake. When completed in the summer of 2013, the project is expected to be one of the largest facilities of its kind in the United States. GreenWhey Energy President Tom Ludy summarized the digester process: 500,000 gallons per day of wastewater from local food companies that is currently being disposed mostly through land spreading, will now be converted into 3.2 megawatts of renewable energy, process heat and fertilizer. The project is believed to be the first privately owned wastewater treatment facility in Wisconsin that brings together the organic waste from multiple food producers, mostly cheese and dairy, into a central facility to treat that waste and generate electricity. The electricity produced by the project will be sold to Xcel Energy and will be enough to power 3,000 average Wisconsin households. Several benefits are expected to the community from the project, including reduction of wastewater issues associated with the runoff of phosphorus into lakes, rivers and streams. While lessoning odors for neighbors, the digester will also reduce approximately 100,000 tons of annual carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions. The heat produced will be sold back to local factories reducing the amount of natural gas needed to run industrial processes. Byproduct from the digester process will be turned into clean and organic fertilizer to offer area farmers a nutrient-rich soil supplement. — from GreenWhey Energy ••• SIREN — In a move that runs counter to a resolution from Burnett County’s Public Safety Committee, the administration committee of the county’s board of supervisors voted 5-1 to keep Burnett’s emergency dispatch services in Burnett County. Unless the full board of supervisors reverses the administration committee’s action, this will end the most recent effort to find a so-

lution to Burnett’s dispatch problems. The county is faced with the need to upgrade its dispatch communication equipment and the need to separate its dispatch and jail supervision activities. An earlier consideration of the possibility of Burnett and Washburn counties operating a joint emergency dispatch program failed to receive acceptance, and then Burnett explored the feasibility of a joint operation with Polk County. A feasibility study said that such an operation would be workable and would save Burnett money in the long run. But that plan ran into opposition from emergency service providers and others in Burnett when Polk turned down the proposal for a joint operation, and Burnett faced the prospect of having to contract with Polk for dispatch services. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• GRANTSBURG — Threatening calls were made to the community education office over a vintage gun-making class, prompting Grantsburg School officials to contact law enforcement, cancel the class and wonder if it will resume. The community night class teaches students how to make vintage-style guns from the 1800s. Students hand carve and build the replicas, resembling a firearm used by frontiersman Daniel Boone. The threats against the historic gun-making class will be addressed at the next school board meeting. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• BARRON – Allie West and Reggie Duncan of the Barron FCCLA are working together on a unique STAR event for the category Focus on Children. West wanted to do something to help the children in Haiti. She has personally been there three times. The two students decided to ask for pillowcase donations, which are being turned into dresses. West and Duncan have recruited the eighth-grade fashion and design class to help construct the dresses. Currently, they have approximately 60 dresses completed with many pillowcases waiting to be transformed into dresses for the children of Haiti. — from the Barron News-Shield

Should we downsize the county board?

Is this the time to reduce the size of our Washburn County Board? For years, our neighbor, Polk County, discussed board size with no action. Then a petition drive was started with the question voted on by referendum. Polk County downsized their board by about half. Right now, Milwaukee County Board is being pressured to reduce size/benefits by state legislative action. I’d rather the state keep out of our county business. I see no need for Washburn County, population of ap-

proximately 18,000, to have 21 county board members. Some items our county board could be advocating are securing industry, completing the bike/snowmobile/ ATV trails, promoting the timber industry and agriculture. What do you, the reader, think? Discussion is always healthy. Vern Redlich Shell Lake

McKibben receives welcome from Earth Keepers 4-H

HAYWARD — Bill McKibben skied the Birkie on Saturday, Feb. 23, in Hayward. A Washburn County 4-H group, Earth Keepers, were there to give McKibben a special local welcome as he crossed the finish line. McKibben is one of the nation’s best-known environmental journalists and an expert on global warming. Climate-change expert McKibben was at Park Theater in Hayward, Thursday, Feb. 21, for the program “Celebrating and Preserving Winter: Responding to Climate Change in Minnesota and Wisconsin.” The lecture was also a benefit for WOJB-FM.

The year 2012 is now in the record books as the warmest ever for the lower 48 states. The Twin Cities, meanwhile, saw a virtual tie for its warmest year on record. “Minnesota and Wisconsin are the third- and fourth-fastest warming states in the country, partly because of lack of snow cover during the winter,” said Paul Thompson, director and cofounder of Edina-based Cool Planet, one of the sponsors of McKibben’s visit. Cool Planet skiers joined McKibben in completing the Birkebeiner. Thompson said, “We cannot continue to think of climate change as a problem down the road. Future generations are depending

on us to take the actions necessary now to move in the direction of a sustainable, renewable and clean-energy future.” McKibben, Ripton, Vt., is the author of a dozen books about the environment, including “Earth, Deep Economy” and “The End of Nature.” He is the founder of 350.org, a grassroots organization that has coordinated 15,000 rallies in 189 countries since 2009. He was called “the planet’s best green journalist” by Time magazine and “probably the country’s most important environmentalist” by the Boston Globe. He holds a dozen honorary degrees and in 2011 was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He also is a seasoned cross-country skier that joined 10,000 skiers from throughout the world in the 40th-annual,

54-kilometer American Birkebeiner from Cable to Hayward on Saturday, Feb. 23. The Washburn County 4-H group Earth Keepers presented gifts to McKibben that reflect the seasons of Wisconsin, gifts of the earth that will be affected by global climate change: wild rice from the Bad River Ojibwa on Lake Superior, maple syrup from Spooner and organic hot chocolate from the local Springbrook Organic Dairy. The Earth Keepers, whose ages range from 12-15, greeted McKibben at the finish line when he arrived around 11:30 a.m. The group presented him with handmade greetings that thanked him for his actions in attempting to stop global warming, which will hit hardest during their lifetime. — from Earth Keepers 4-H

Pederson family dominates in cancer event

SHELL LAKE — While there were skiers from Maine, Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan at the Ski Out Cancer event, the Pederson family of Spooner impressed all. The cross-country ski race was held Sunday, Feb. 17, at the Red Barn Campground in Shell Lake. Scott Pederson won the main event, the Tim Reedy State Farm 5K, with a time of 11:23, just four seconds off the record set by local skiing legend Santi Ocariz. Greg Lyga placed second. In the Tim Reedy State Farm 5K women’s race, Ann Pederson took home first place. The classic champion for the Tim Reedy State Farm 5K was Dale Cardwell, with Jamison Wendel placing second. Daniel Pederson won the New Moon Elite 10K – skating with a time of 24:27. Local skiers placing in the top 10 were Jon Lindberg second, Kevin Shoessow fifth and Greg Lyga sixth. Rolf Thompson was the victor in the 10K – classic with Jamison Wendel finishing a close second. Lisa Pederson won the 10K women’s race with Beth Lindberg placing second. The Spooner Health System 2K race was won again by Scott Pederson, who broke the record by one second, with a time of 5:01. Local skiers in the top 10 were Greg Lyga

third, and Nate Swan fourth. Dale Cardwell won the classic division of the Spooner Health System 2K in an impressive eight minutes with Jamison Wendel breathing down his neck to finish second. In the Spooner Health System 2K youth race, a photo finish could not determine a female winner, so Morgan Wendel and Julia Lyga shared the honors, crossing the finish line at the same exact time, and local racer Sabian Ripplinger winning the boys division. Sabian Ripplinger won the Sterling Bank 1K with Morgan Wendel coming in second, and an amazing performance by Ethan Lyga propelled him to third place. This race was a success with the hard work and dedication of many volunteers from Ski! Shell Lake and with the support of the following local businesses: main sponsor Tim Reedy State Farm Insurance, Spooner Health System, Becky’s, Thru The Woods Cafe, Lakeview Bar and Grill, Shell Lake State Bank, Shell Lake Pharmacy, Shell Lake Marine, Dahlstroms IGA, Shell Lake Clinic, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, OutThere, New Moon Bike and Ski, Riverbrook Bike and Ski and Sterling Bank. — submitted

The Tales of Tommy Tucker

aturday, March 2, is Theodor Seuss Geisel’s birthday. Born in 1904, he is better known as Dr. Seuss, an American writer, poet and cartoonist, whose work is still read to and by children today. A relatively new children’s author to come on the scene is Thomas Meadows. As a children’s book author and illustrator, Thomas is becoming known for his series, The Tales of Tommy Tucker. His first book, published in 2012, was “The Thought That Out Thunk the Thinker.” Thomas Meadows, with his Perhaps you are daughter, Jayla, who encourages yet to hear of his storytelling and illustrations. — Thomas and to be Photos submitted exposed to any of his books. Thomas has been a part of our family since his primary school days. He was more like a third son to my brother, Robert. It was just expected that Thomas would be at family celebrations and gatherings. When Christmas shopping, Thomas’ name was included along the nieces and nephews. I have taken Thomas on camping trips only to have to go track him down in the middle of the night when he would escape from the tent while walking in his sleep. My family and I would attend Frederic football games, not only to cheer on my nephews, Dustin and Randy, but also Thomas. Growing up in Frederic, and graduating in 2004, Thomas now lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and is a heavy equipment operator at an oil field in Fort McMurray. Thomas gets his inspiration for his books from the stories he makes up to entertain his young daughter, Jayla. He lovingly dedicated his book to Jayla writing, “Her need for my stories has inspired me to pursue my love of drawing and writing and become an author of children’s books.”

prizes for game and series, donation collection prizes for highest dollar amount collected and for most number of names on the form, raffle prize opportunities and door prizes given away to really make it a tail-wagging, whisker-licking good time. And, all ages and skill levels of bowlers are welcome. As most people already know, fundraising events, such as Pins for Pets, are needed to maintain this local animal shelter. No matter how you support this local animal shelter, please know it is always so very appreciated and never taken for granted. Feel free to stop in at the shelter, located at 1400 Cottonwood Ave., which is on the south end of Spooner near the Washburn County Fairgrounds, and open to the public daily from noon-5 p.m., except on Wednesday and Sunday, or keep track of all the information regarding the Washburn County Area Humane Society shelter news through the Web site. — from WCAHS

ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK

The cover to Thomas Meadows’ first book published.

When Thomas’ first book was published and the marketing for it began, he asked my daughter, Amanda, to write a promotional story. In that article, Thomas stated, “My stories are created from a mix of childish imagination and humorous illustrations so the readers are not just simply learning a moral, but having fun with it all at the same time.” In the article Amanda wrote, “Meadows quickly captivates his audience by his bright and detailed cartoon illustrations. The book is brilliantly narrated in rhyme and tells the tale of Tommy Tucker going out fishing, in hopes of catching a big fish; however, the main character of the story turns out to be the worm that Tommy baited his hook with. As the story unfolds, the once seemingly thoughtful worm is ‘out thunk.’” In his book, to honor the memory of my nephew, Dustin, Thomas has included the initials DLC on the empty seat in the boat. Dustin and Thomas were very close friends. Other books by Thomas include, “My Private Parts are Private,” “Pizza Pie Patty!” and “Bubble Gum Bubbles and Chewing Gum Troubles.”

UW Colleges and UW-Extension chancellor responds to Gov. Walker’s 2013-15 biennial budget

MADISON – UW Colleges and UWExtension Chancellor Ray Cross applauds Gov. Scott Walker for his proposal to reinvest in the University of Wisconsin System. The governor’s 2013-15 biennial budget proposal, presented Wednesday, Feb. 20, at the state Capitol, includes $181 million in new investments in the UW System. This includes $20 million for initiatives to boost economic development and workforce development. “Specifically, this budget emphasizes the role UW institutions play in job creation, workforce development and economic growth,” said Cross, who oversees the 13 UW Colleges freshman and sophomore colleges in the UW System and UW-Extension’s four divisions,

continuing education on all 26 campuses, cooperative extension offices in every county, entrepreneurship and economic development statewide networks and the public broadcasting division including Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television. “I am especially pleased that this budget includes start-up funding to launch the UW Flexible Option,” Cross continued, explaining that UW-Extension is leading this initiative to bridge the gap between what adults know today and the degree or certificate they need to advance their careers. This option allows them to start, progress and complete their education on their own schedules. Details are available at flex.wisconsin. edu.

“Investments in the UW System deliver powerful returns for taxpayers statewide through education and serv-

ices for Wisconsin families, communities and businesses,” Cross said. — from UW Colleges/UW-Extension

SHELL LAKE — A minigrant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council is allowing residents of the four-county area, Washburn, Barron, Sawyer and Burnett, to take part in an unusual event – a Quad County Read of an ancient Greek play, Sophocles’ “Antigone,” and the opportunity to discuss it with others ahead of the performance. Citizens from throughout the region are invited to attend a facilitated discussion of “Antigone” on either Thursday, March 7, or Tuesday, March 19, at the Quam Memorial Theatre in Shell Lake. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with refreshments, and the discussion runs from 78:30 pm. There is no charge to participate in the discussions. The play is currently in production at the Quam and will be performed in early April. Theatre in the Woods, the longstanding community theater organization that is housed at the Quam, has chosen to produce “Antigone” to bring to life an eternal question: what happens when deeply held values are in conflict? The Greeks wrestled with this more than 2,500 years ago, and such issues are still with us today. How did Sophocles portray this conflict? How did Greek theater

It certainly was beautiful out on Sunday. It made me think spring isn’t too far away. Yes, the sun was out and the snow was melting, making the snow good for a snowball fight. March 1, happy birthday wishes go out to Rich Lauterbach as he enjoys his special day. Have a wonderful day, Rich. March 2, it’s a happy birthday to Jerney Meister and to Julie LaVeau as they enjoy their special day. Have a great one girls. March 3, it’s happy birthday to Beck Rudolph and Sarah Melton and also to Turner Moe as they enjoy their special day. Happy birthday wishes go out to Charity Petersen and to Pattie Beaufeaux as they enjoy their special day on March 4. Way out in the Carolinas it’s happy birthday to Truman Smith and also to Lyle Atkinson and Gwen Mitchell as they enjoy their special day March 5. Have a great day. March 6, it’s a happy birthday to Jerry Atkinson on his special day with lots more to come. Thursday, Feb. 21, I took little Rammy to the vet for some kind of problem. Paula Cramer and Rylee Ladd came to spend Saturday and part of Sunday with me. It was so nice to have Paula come home as she hadn’t been up since Christmas, which was two months ago. Saturday, we three gals enjoyed lunch at Riverstreet. They left for home about 10:30 Sunday morning. Our get-well wishes go out to Sandy Redding who was so weak after a heart attach they said she would have to go the Amery nursing home for a while. Bernard is with her and is continuing his chemo and radiation treatments. Boy oh boy, I’ve heard everything! Yes, Saturday I got a phone call from none other than Byron Baker. Well, he told me he had spring fever now. I asked him what happened, and he said Saturday he found a pine snake on his floor rug. The snake wasn’t very lively though,

and he threw it outside in the snowbank. Some way, some how, this snake must have found a place to get in. Byron said he should have thrown it in the basement where he has some mice. I told Byron I wouldn’t go to the basement if it were the last thing I ever did! Snakes, who needs them? Hey Byron, don’t you think you made a mistake about a pine snake and it should have been a snow snake? Sonny Meister and his son, Kevin, went ice fishing Sunday, Feb. 24. Betty made dinner for her crew. Saturday, when Paula and Rylee came they saw something in the road so stopped to see what the problem was. Here it was a little hound puppy by the former Carla Brandenburg’s house. The mother was so happy to see it Paula said. They tied it by the mom and all was well. Jerry and Gretchen Best drove to Florida to see their son, Kevin, and Jess, and their daughter, Bonita. They were gone about a week. Gretchen said they enjoyed the warmer weather. Bonita is making her home in Florida now. Sunday, Janie and Rick Lauterbach and children, Noah and Elliana, were at the Quams. Saturday afternoon found Jane and Rick at Camp Park in Duluth staying until Sunday for the two of them to get away. Rick and Jane have been very busy with taxes as Rick is an accountant and he has lots of work to do. Marv Knoop tells us there were about six different fishermen down on Bashaw Lake, but none were having much luck. Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan spent the weekend at Beth and Garry Crosby’s. Shorty and Melissa Crosby held a birthday party for their daughter, Katie Ann. All the Crosby families were there. The fishing contest at Wolf Point was held, and Grandpa Garry and Grandma Beth baby-sat Chase and Morgan. Garry and Beth visited Chuck and Dixie Andrea also. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Monday morning, Feb. 25, it is a cloudy, gray day. Temperatures were in the upper 20s with a chance of snow. Days are getting longer, and it is nice to have it lighter at night. Funeral services for Paul Homes were held at Salem Lutheran Church on Thursday. Our prayers are with Nora Homes at this time. She lives in Rice Lake. Lillian Ullom attended the funeral of Paul Homes. We lost a member of Salem Lutheran Church last week. Merrill Kopping of Rice Lake passed away in the Spooner nursing home. You may have had children in school with his children in Shell Lake. Amy Monson had a sister in-law pass away. Ruth Monson resided in a nursing home in Neenah. Our sympathy to you Amy. One of the tenants of Glenview passed away last week. Cyril Willett, who had his 101st birthday on Feb. 8, passed away this past weekend. Funeral services were Wednesday, Feb. 27. His wife, Jean, lives here, and she just had her 100th birthday last month. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jean and family. Laura Reitzel, another tenant of Glenview, passed

away suddenly in Duluth on Saturday morning. Laura was always cheerful and loved to play Bingo. She loved music also. We will certainly miss her. Sympathy to the family. Lenten services will be held at the United Methodist Church this week. Plan to attend. Lillian Ullom visited with Mark and Judy Ullom on Sunday and enjoyed birthday cake and ice cream for Judy’s birthday. Birthday greetings, Judy! Marvin and Josie Mortensen have now moved into Shell Lake from their farm out in the Heart Lake area. I hope you enjoy your new surroundings. Peder Pederson was a dinner guest of daughter and husband Cheri and Steve Minot at their home Sunday. People staying close to home these days. Waiting for spring I guess. “Your methods are a century behind the times,” the pompous government expert told the lifelong farmer. “I’d be surprised if you got a bushel of wheat to the acre out of that field.” “So would I,” the farmer agreed. “That’s barley.”

he Shell Lake Lions Club annual ice-fishing contest will be held on Saturday, March 2, once again this year. This weekend marks the close of the inland game fishing season in Wisconsin, so it’s the last chance to catch a game fish through the ice. We hope there will be good weather, some fish caught and big smiles from lucky anglers who caught the biggest fish or won a door prize. And we know you’ll enjoy the day, visiting with friends while seeing the ice-fishing season out on your terms. The contest runs from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. and offers over $1,000 in prizes to lucky fishermen and holders of raffle tickets. To make easier access, a plowed road will lead to the contest headquarters in the lake’s south bay. As in other years, the family-friendly contest will offer kids games, too. Chili and brats will also be available on the ice for hungry fishermen, women and children. Back because of popular demand, the contest is also offering cash prizes up to $100 for the

largest northern, walleye, bass and panfish. The winning fish will be determined by overall length. As in other years, all profits from this event will be used to promote worthy causes in the extended Shell Lake community. In the past, these funds have been used for scholarships given to graduating Shell Lake High School seniors. In addition to the scholarships, the Lions have contributed to the victims of house fires over the winter, certainly another worthy cause. Obviously, there are many worthy causes in the community where the dollars generated from the contest will be used. We hope you’ll help us with these efforts by coming to the fishing contest and supporting both the Lions Club and your community. With this support, you can’t help but to go home a winner, and who knows, you might even take home a cash or valuable door prize. Either way, you can’t lose. We hope to see you there.

Fight against cancer

for new jobs, including wage scales, along with a possible nine other attachment statements that involve leases and contracts. The EDC will help you every step of the way. Their goal is to have a clean package to present to the IDA board, which meets once a month. Loans from the WCIDA offer a much lower interest rate than even local banks, and if all the paperwork is done, the board often approves loans the next time it meets. The EDC doesn’t concentrate only on the fact that a new business is starting, they also want to see jobs established in Washburn County. Over the past six years, they have loaned out over $1 million for businesses who hired over 315 employees through Washburn County Industrial Development Agency’s revolving loan fund. Since May 1, 2012, when Krantz was hired for this three-day-a-week position, he has met with approximately 30 separate business owners in Washburn County. In his conversations with these business owners, at least 60 percent stated that even though the overall economy is slow, their own business in 2011 and 2012 has shown an increase compared to 2010 income totals. Many believe the growth is due to the national shop local campaign, keeping the money going to support local business. During the first six months of 2012 alone, Quinn worked with four business owners and closed four loans totally $250,000, creating jobs for 35 new employees and making it possible to retain 20 jobs for those already employed but in danger of losing their jobs due to necessary layoffs. The Washburn County Tourism Council sent out a new tourism brochure asking, “Want to work where you play?” This brochure was directed to the many summer people and tourists who own and operate various forms of business back where they’re from. Hundreds of these brochures are passed out through the various home shows throughout a three-state area. There is a new Spooner retail mix analysis available from the University of Wisconsin-Extension office that’s located on Fairground Road. It’s available without charge for anyone wanting to see if his or her business would be a good fit for Spooner. The document covers everything from the study area analyzed to business expansion and recruitment opportunities.

by Diane Dryden SPOONER — If you’ve been thinking of opening a business in Washburn County, whether it’s large or small, there’s good news and financial help for you. The Washburn County Economic Development Corporation at 208 Vine St. in Spooner is a 501c 3 nonprofit organization and is available to walk you through the process for everything you’ll need to know, and to do, in order to get a low-interest loan from the Industrial Development Agency. The EDC doesn’t lend the money, but they help with the process of having all your ducks in a row in order to sail through the IDA process of getting a loan. Administrator co-coordinator Marge Quinn has over 10 years’ experience with EDC/IDA. Greg Krantz, director since last May, already has a lifetime of experience in his own business. He has been on both the regional planning and IDA loan board for the last 10 years. Now he’s ready to put his skills toward guiding those looking to start or improve or expand their business. Here’s a thumbnail sketch of the process. The best place to start is at their office on Vine Street. Either Quinn or Krantz will sit down with you for a one-on-one conversation of your goals and how you plan to accomplish them. If you are having trouble writing out your business plan, there are classes available to help. There is even reimbursement money if you complete the class. Next comes the paperwork, and there’s plenty of it. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have your completed business plan that includes the products or service you plan to market, your key customers and clients, any business competition and the business market area. You’ll also fill in your marketing strategy along with your personnel experience and your production plans. You’ll have a project description and personal financial statements along with your financial projections, which will include a balance sheet, income statement and a cash flow statement. The paperwork goes on to include the job schedule

Administrative Coordinator Marge Quinn and Director Greg Krantz represent the Washburn County Economic Development Corporation, and they’re ready to help you get the money you need to start a new business or maintain an old one.

FEBRUARY 27, 2013 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 13

A nice snow fell on Friday, about 6 inches here, just in time for the 40th American Birkebeiner in Hayward over the weekend. Primary election on Tuesday at the Sarona polls only brought out 17 voters with only the Supreme Court judge to vote for and only two voters from the Rice Lake School District to vote on their referendum to borrow money for a new school addition and upgrade. Sarona election clerks were Alissa Miller, Kelly Stoner and Mary Berman. Close to 100 of the 2012 Washburn County Dairy Breakfast volunteers enjoyed a thank-you dinner together at the Prime in Trego on Monday night, Feb. 18, with some great food served family style. It made for a nice evening. Gratitude is extended to Barb Ailport, chair lady, for the breakfast and also the banquet. I went to the banquet with my grandson Brady Marschall and his girlfriend, Ashley Anderson. Glad he was driving as a mist was coming down. Sarona folks extend sympathy to the family of Merrill Kopping, 89, who passed away at the nursing home in

Spooner. He lived in West Sarona for a long time on Big Keg Road with late wife Nina and raised three daughters, Kay (Swonger), Rose Mary (Stump) and Karen (Regal) along with son Brad. Funeral services were held at Skinner Funeral Home in Rice Lake on Thursday with burial in the Sarona cemetery. He was preceded in death by first wife, Nina, in 1993, and second wife, Marjorie, and his son, Bradley. Virginia Stodola is a first cousin of Merrill. Virginia Stodola also lost another cousin, LeRoy Jensen, who had moved up to Alaska by his daughter, Sheila. LeRoy, was the last sibling of a large family and was a brother to the late Verna Klaus and an uncle to Libby DeTrent of Sarona. Sympathy is extended. Libby DeTrent flew down to Chicago last week and spent some time with daughter Laura and two granddaughters, enjoying a nice time. Wednesday night, Feb. 20, Roger and Steve Lundeen held their 34th-annual manure party and appreciation dinner at the Country Inn with 90-some attending – farmers they haul for and their truck

drivers. The beautiful meal and fun evening was appreciated. Roger was the speaker and he is always a riot. Congratulations to Kyle Mathison on getting the Golden Pie Award this year for being the third-generation customer. They give one out every year for different reasons. Bob Helmer and son Tyler, West Bend, spent the weekend with his mother, Beverly. Her daughter, Bonnie, also visited. Wednesday noon, only 10 of the class of 1950 got together for lunch at the Prime. Attending were Bill and Shirley Fergerson, Ray and Gerene Smith, Hezzy and Elaine King, Phyllis Lauby, Carolyn West, Mary Krantz and myself. Small group but all had a nice visit. Mavis Schlapper, Joyce Wade, Adelle Koel and friend Gene went to a dance at the Rooster Roadhouse in New Richmond on Wednesday. Reports a nice dance hall there. Thursday Mavis and Joyce were in Eau Claire as Mavis had a recall on her car. Nancy and Russ Furchtenicht had her family over Friday night for supper to celebrate the February birthdays that included her dad, Ralph VanMeter, and

niece Kerri Gambodi. A family birthday party was held for Mary Krantz in the activity room at Lakeland Manor in Shell Lake at noon on Saturday. A nice meal was hosted by her kids. They included me as her best friend. Mavis Schlapper and Elaine Ryan had coffee with me Saturday afternoon. Happy birthday wishes to Sandi Hayden, Ray Heilborn, Pearl Coulter, Walter Bell and Kristi Krantz, Feb. 28; Matt Krantz and Jamie Joslin, Feb. 9; Jim Hubin, Debbie Braunstein, Barb Schullo, Sherrine Walley, March 2; Michelle Hotchkiss, Amber Hayden, Becki Rudolph, March 3; Kris Zimmerman and Ken Spexet, March 4; Jared Pederson, Jeff Schmitz, March 5; Christopher and Cole Stodola turn 12 already and Conner Child, March 6. Enjoy your special day. A happy anniversary is wished for Steve and Irene Johnson, their 60th, on March 6. March ahead!

There was quite a crowd at the Barronett Community Center on Friday evening, Feb. 22, enjoying the pancakes and French toast made by members of the Barronett Civic Club. And, most of them stayed for the play that the Barronett Dragons 4-H Club put on afterward. The play, “A Bottle of Joy,” was about a good queen who had a bottle of joy that she filled each citizen’s bottle with every year so that everyone in her kingdom was happy. Then, of course, a villain, Count Cringe, comes along. He decides to steal the bottle and keep all the joy for himself. Well, much to his surprise, when he gets the bottle and opens it, it is empty. The joy the people felt came from within themselves, by doing good deeds and helping others. It was very well acted, funny, the costumes were fantastic, and the moral of the story was a perfect lesson for all of us. The performers were Sandra Zarr, Altie Zarr, Ethan Thompson, Zach Thompson, Erica Yawn, Kaitlyn Yawn and Megan Muench. The kids also performed the play on Saturday at the 4-H Communication Day in Cameron. The play took second place in the contest. Kaitlyn won best actress and Ethan won runner-up. Congratulations to all the actors, and, of course, their leader and director, Peg Thompson, on a job welldone, Loren O’Neal, granddaughter of Don and Anitia Lehmann, took fifth place in the breaststroke competition at the Hudson Middle School swim meet. Loren was competing against 53 swimmers, ages 11 and 12, in that event. She was in several other competitions that day, and did very well in those, too. This is Loren’s first year on the swim team, and we are expecting great things from her. Kirk Jerry celebrated his birthday on Sunday by having breakfast at the Hilltop Restaurant with family members.

Kirk’s wife, Tina, and their sons, Patrick, Johnny and Richard, and Tina’s mom and dad, Marie and Richard Hillman, were there helping him celebrate his special day. Todd and Janice Ahneman celebrated 29 years of marital bliss on Monday, Feb. 25. Todd mentioned the anniversary in church Sunday morning and told us what a wonderful woman Janice is and that, if given the chance, he would do it all over again. It’s so nice to see a happily married couple, isn’t it. Congratulations to both of you. Walter Bell’s birthday party at the Red Brick Cafe on Saturday, Feb. 23, was very nice. There were lots of people there, coming and going, wishing Walter a very happy birthday. Deb and Melinda Lehmann prepared lunch, and the birthday cake was nicely decorated, Walter’s son, Terry, made a display case for Walter’s Army medals. I don’t know enough about medals to tell you exactly what was in there, but there were a couple of medals for expertise in rifle shooting, a Good Conduct Medal and several others. Kathy Lehmann, who sent out letters to the military to get Walter’s medals, was showing the case to guests, and jokingly said that she wasn’t too sure that Walter deserved the Good Conduct Medal. Elmer and Donna Andersen were within hearing range, and Elmer immediately came to Walter’s defense. He said that he had known Walter for 75 years, and that in that time, he had always lived his life in a way that proved him deserving of that particular medal. Wow! Must be nice to have such loyal friends for that many years. Anyway, everyone there had a wonderful time eating and yakking with Walter and his family. Boy, the snowmobilers were out in full force this past weekend. The Lehmann family, Ryan, Alyse and Miriah, and Adam Holmes and Beau Olson rode to the Hilltop for breakfast on Sunday

morning. Suzy, Tru, Don and Anitia Lehmann and Duane and I and little Wrig Marsh met them there. I didn’t count the number of snowmobilers that came in during the time we were eating breakfast, but I bet there were between 60 and 70 of them. The restaurant and bar owners must be overjoyed to see the trails open. Their business improves greatly when people can get out with their friends and ride. You know, I don’t like to say that Suzy’s in-laws are bullheaded, but they certainly are known for having opinions and sticking to them. Case in point Gavin and Miles Lehmann were among many toddlers who attended a preschool screening in Cumberland last week. All the little ones were given name tags to stick on their shirts. Well, neither Gavin nor Miles were having anything to do with that. They didn’t want that piece of paper stuck to their shirts, and they dang well weren’t going to have it. We’re talking a 3-year-old and a 2-year-old here. Little individualists. They played well with others, did all the things they should, but they stuck by their guns

when it came to messing up their nice clothes with stickers. The amazing thing is that they didn’t come in at the same time, so it wasn’t one of those “if my big cousin isn’t going to wear one, I’m not going to wear one” type deals. They’re both just little bullheads. That trait is probably what makes them so successful in sporting competitions. The Cusick family, Tom and Audrey and Tim and Becka, hosted the Lenten supper on Wednesday evening at Barronett Lutheran. They had several dishes to choose from, and two different desserts. It was very nice. The only problem, of course, is that it’s going to be a hard act to follow for the rest of us. We all enjoyed the food and fellowship very much. I’d like to invite you, once again, to join us for our Wednesday evening suppers and worship service during Lent. If you are looking for a church, it is the perfect way to get to know us a little better. That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you are able to get out and enjoy the snow. It’ll be gone soon, you know. See you next time.

Nina and Lawrence Hines returned home Monday from the Twin Cities. On Sunday and Monday, they had visited Chad, Aubrey and Ashley Harrison, Emily, Josh and Noah Hennagir, and Nancy and Steve Hagen. Karen and Hank Mangelsen were supper guests of Donna and Gerry Hines Thursday. Mark Hines visited Gerry and Donna Hines over the weekend. Saturday visitors of Hank and Karen Mangelsen were Larry, Celie, Baxter, Jake, Holly, Hannah and Grace Mangelsen, April, Dave, Patty and Mandy Close, and Holly's cousin, Alice. Birth-

days of Baxter, Celie, Larry, Hannah and Grace were celebrated. Larry, Celie and Baxter stayed overnight. Steve and Nancy Hagen were weekend guests of Lawrence and Nina Hines.

aith is something we act on every day. When I sit in a chair, I have faith in the chair that it will hold me safely. When I eat a meal, I have faith that the food is safe, that it will nourish and give me strength. Faith is acting on what I believe. It is not something that I have to search for every time I am making a decision. That faith comes from the experiences that we are involved in every day. It comes from the decisions we make and the results we get. But the Christian knows and experiences a different kind of faith, a faith that comes from the Lord and guides our choices in life. Our Lord gives us a faith that works wonders. The faith that he gives us is not only to believe in him or about him, but to believe in him for our salvation. Without this faith, we cannot know him as our Savior and Lord. The Bible tells us that even the devil believes that Jesus is the Son of God. We must do more than believe, we must receive him. God’s word tells us that it is not our good works that save us, but the grace he gives us to accept him as our Savior.
