It starts with you New information on Alzheimer’s as close as a keystroke

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer

SPOONER — The planning is officially under way for this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

The organization has pulled out all the stops to encourage everyone to make a contribution to support research for the insidious disease that not only slowly erases the one suffering with it, but it takes a huge stress toll on the caregiver who often feels alone in their mission.

With that in mind, the alz.org Web site has become intense with new information that’s available with just a keystroke.

The Alzheimer’s Association’s clarion cry is stated simply, but has an enormous impact. — submitted There are enough charts and links and basic information so even the least informed can get all the information about the disease that is running rampant in the United States, due to our aging population. If a cure is not found, or drugs created that will successfully delay onset,

Alzheimer’s personal and financial cost is projected to reach $200 billion and it will not only devastate families but it will cripple Medicare.

Just here in Wisconsin, the top third tier of our state is replete with an aging population who don’t seem to be planning on moving away anytime soon. Statistics predict that as the years pass, the numbers will continue to increase for our state, especially those of us here in the north.

Washburn County cases

In Washburn County alone there are 3,380 people who are over the age of 65. Out of that number there are already 450 people who have been diag-

SHELL LAKE — “Anytime you have dialog, you strengthen community.”

This thought is from a participant in the first of two Wisconsin Humanities Council-supported book discussions that took place Thursday, March 7, at the Quam Memorial Theatre in Shell Lake. This unusual event, a Quad County Read of an ancient Greek play, Sophocles’ “Antigone,” will be repeated on Tuesday, March 19. This second discussion, like the first, is free and open to the public.

Another participant commented, “I love that this brought people together … for a lively and thoughtful discussion.”

Theatre in the Woods, the long-standing community theater organization 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? These preperformance discussions offer an opportunity for area residents to come together to consider that question and to delve

Second discussion of “Antigone” set production at the Quam with perfor-

A mini grant from the humanities council supports these two evenings of public conversation as well as the development of an annotated Web page and an extended playbill. The council is dedicated to strengthening community life for everyone in Wisconsin through programming that highlights history, culture and community discussion.

Northwest Wisconsin manufacturing summit to be held in Superior ASHLAND — Manufacturing is one of the few bright spots in the U.S. economy today. This can be said of the Wisconsin economy as well. According to a study performed by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economics and Statistics Administration, manufacturing provides 20 percent of Wisconsin’s total employment earnings — making it No. 2 in the U.S. Ironically, as the manufacturing sector continues to help lead this country’s economic recovery, companies are reporting that they are having trouble finding qualified workers.

A recent study from the Manufacturing Institute reported that almost 80 percent of American manufacturers are

reporting trouble filling open positions despite a national unemployment rate of almost 8 percent. One of the reasons for this disconnection between open positions and the high unemployment rate is the skills gap: job seekers not possessing the skill sets to meet employer demands.

To meet previously assessed needs and discover emerging needs, Northwest Wisconsin Workforce Investment Board and Northwest Wisconsin Concentrated Employment Program Inc. are hosting the Northwest Wisconsin Manufacturing Summit. At the summit, discussion will include how CEP Inc. is currently working with manufacturing employers, such as: the CEP Inc. Center

for Combustible Dust Safety and Health, financial assistance for workforce and training needs, and CEP’s success working on the Gold Collar Careers initiative, goldcollarcareers.com. The summit will be held on Tuesday, March, 19, at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical CollegeSuperior from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The event is free with lunch provided at no cost, however, RSVP is required.

Guest speakers will include Dan Conroy, vice president of human resources and talent management, from Nexen Group Inc., and Wayne Lindemans, business development specialist/community planner, from Northwest Regional Planning Commission. Conroy

will present on why manufacturers need to engage youth and how initiatives such as Gold Collar Careers and high school manufacturing tours have had a positive impact on area youth. In addition to Conroy’s presentation, Lindemans will give an overview of reports available from Economic Modeling Services International. EMSI data provides current and complete labor market information, which is detailed and comprehensive as well as regionally specific.

To RSVP, please contact Susan Bodoh, manufacturing industry specialist, at sbodoh@nwcep.org or 715-492-5126.

City council: Lake levels, campers in city, liquor license available

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer

SHELL LAKE – Will camping units be allowed on city lots? Will the lake ever need to be drained again?

These ongoing questions were the main subject of discussion at the monthly meeting of the Shell Lake city council Monday, March 11.

And while there was no resolution of these topics, the council did deny a liquor license application, making one of the limited licenses now available. All council members except Josh Buckridge were present.

Liquor license

The council denied a liquor license application for Steven Browne. The license had been used for the Barb Wire Bar and was vacated in January. In moving to deny the application, council member Andy Eiche noted that the applicant did not have the three documents, a federal ID number, a state license to sell and a bartender’s license, required to operate a bar.

The denial means that the city has an available liquor license for an on-sale establishment selling drinks on the premises.

In addition to this license, Shell Lake has four active licenses for Becky’s, the Lake View, Klopp’s, and America’s Best Inn.

The last license was issued as a new license from the city’s reserved license pool. The Inn paid $10,000 for that license. Shell Lake now has one more reserved license in addition to the vacated Barb Wire one.

“A liquor license is a valuable piece of property,” Eiche said during the finance committee meeting before the board. “It should be treated as such.” Eiche said that in the future, an applicant should have all the required documents in place before the city conducts an expensive background check and the application fee should be high enough to cover the city’s costs.

Campers in the city

Should Shell Lake residents be allowed to have a camping unit parked in their yard? A proposed revision to the zoning code allowing campers at residences generated a long discussion.

The proposal from the plan commission would allow one camping unit, which could be a mobile recreational vehicle, to be parked at a home. Specifically, it would be allowed on a developed residential lot, would need to conform to setbacks from the street, property lines and the lake, and could not be used as a primary residence.

In effect, visitors could park their campers in the yard of a host, but they could not make that camper their permanent home.

There was discussion about how long the camping unit could stay on a site and what “primary residence” means.

Would this mean that a relative could move onto a lot? Could a person stay the entire summer? Have there been problems with campers in the city?

Police Chief Dave Wilson answered the last question by saying that this has been a complaint-driven issue in the past, and the only recent case in the city involved someone parked in a church parking lot, not at a home.

“At present it is illegal to have a camper or boat at your house,” council member Ken Schultz said. “You can’t even store one. This allows several hundred residents in the community to be legal again.”

There will be a public hearing Monday, April 1 on the proposed zoning change.

Will the lake rise again?

A few years back, Shell Lake had too much water. The lake level had risen to cover residents yards. After a long process, the city gained the approval for a diversion project to pump water from the lake to the Yellow River. The water level was drawn down to the desired level. But with dry years, the lake level has dropped more and has receded from the old shoreline.

The city obtained a permit from the DNR

for the diversion and continues to conduct ongoing tests of the lake and the river as conditions of that permit. There was discussion about the testing and costs at the inland lakes committee meeting prior to the council meeting. A long-term study on the diversion concludes in 2014. The committee is reviewing what tests and studies will need to continue and what those costs will be.

The diversion might need to be reactivated in the future, and part of the discussion was on keeping the permit open. Eiche asked what the annual expense to keep it open and to do the testing is. City Administrator Brad Pederson said it depends on what tests will be needed and what grant money might be available. Council member Dan Harrington said it would be best to keep the permit open, saying “We don’t want to restart the permitting process”.

A work group appointed by Shell Lake Mayor Sally Peterson is being set up to work with DNR staff to develop a protocol for shoreline surveys and management practices. The city works with the Shell Lake Technical Oversight Committee, a wide-ranging body with representatives from the city, DNR, St. Croix Tribe and property owners on the lake and the river.

Write-in elections watch Spooner / Shell Lake

by Gregg Westigard

Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY – The cities of Spooner and Shell Lake each have a blank spot on the April 2 election ballot. In each city, no one filed for an open city council seat during the December nomination pe-

riod. Those offices will be filed by write-in votes on election day.

Write-in candidates must register their candidacy. That involves filing a simple form, the campaign registration statement, with the city clerk. Registering allows voters to know who is interested in the position and makes it easier for poll workers to know what write-in names to watch for.

And registration is the law. Wisconsin stat-

utes say that any person who desires votes in an election is a candidate and must register.

There is no deadline for registering as a write-in, but a person is required to register as soon as intent is known.

Spooner There is no candidate yet for Ward 3 on the city council. Fred Schulter, the incum-

bent, did not file for re-election. Ward 3 is the southwest part of the city.

Shell Lake Josh Buckridge is registered as a write-in candidate in Ward 1. He actually is the current incumbent, having been appointed to the vacant position in January, too late to get on the ballot. Ward 1 is the area north and east of the lake.

Area news CHETEK — At 6:12 p.m., on Thursday, Feb. 28, the Barron County Sheriff’s Department received a call of a subject that went through the ice on Chetek Lake near the Lakeshore Resort. Deputies, along with the Chetek ambulance, fire, first responders and the Life Link helicopter, responded to the scene. Upon arrival, the subject, Steven Zwiefelhofer, 44, Chetek, refused to get out of the water and after a short time was finally rescued from the water.

School receives funds for wellness program

SPOONER — Spooner Middle School has been chosen to receive $1,000 to support its Fuel Up to Play 60 initiative, the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board announced.

Spooner was selected from among hundreds of schools across the country that applied for funding to help them jump-start and sustain healthy nutrition and physical activity improvements.

This nationwide funding program offers dollars to schools to help them increase awareness of and access to nutrient-rich foods and physical activity opportunities

for students. Funding for this competitive program is provided by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.

Funds for Fuel Up to Play 60 provides support for a variety of activities and tools, such as food-service materials and equipment, nutrition and physical education materials, student and staff incentives, staff development and overall Fuel Up to Play 60 implementation.

Students will use their funds to create and promote a combination of events including a cheese tasting for their harvest of the month programming, some fun new

cafeteria artwork in the windows, and a milk mustache booth photo op for students who choose to participate in a contest.

According to Amy Young, “Spooner Schools, as a whole, have a ton of programs that support the schools overall vision of wellness. The funds that come from this fantastic programming will go to support efforts being put forth at Spooner Middle School by day school teachers, after-school club leaders, administrators and the district as a whole.”

More than 70,000 schools across the the United States are participating in Fuel Up

to Play 60. Developed by the National Dairy Council, local dairy councils and the National Football League, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the program encourages youth to consume nutrient-rich foods and achieve at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

Multiple health organizations and several major corporations also support Fuel Up to Play 60. — from Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board

Our resources can be bought tax-free

Why would Wisconsin give its natural resources away for free? That’s the question Sens. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, and Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, asked about SB1, the mining bill, on Feb. 14.

“It is incomprehensible to me that an elected official, who took an oath to serve the best interests of the people of Wisconsin, could endorse and vote for a bill which allows an out-of-state company to mine our natural resources and never pay a tax,” said Cullen.

Cullen’s comments came in response to a Feb. 13, letter by anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist, urging Wisconsin legislators to reject efforts to reform Wisconsin’s metallic mining taxation system. Norquist says he opposes “any new taxes … including a proposed tonnage tax,” and reminds legislators that supporting such a tax would be a violation of his organization’s No Tax Pledge.

Cullen released a report from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau showing under Senate Bill 1, a mining company would pay little or no property, corporate income, net proceeds, or other taxes to the state, forcing local taxpayers to pay more. The passed version of SB1 allows the mining company to extract iron and market it without paying a gross tonnage tax on the outbound minerals (Minnesota has a tonnage tax).

The federal government is terrible at designing programs and at managing them. I think before they raise anyone’s taxes, or cut essential services, the government should clean up the mess they have in their current programs. In addition, they should prioritize government spending and cut expenditures for programs with the lowest priority. The three calligraphers that the White House employs at a cost of $277,000 might be a candidate for such cuts. It sure appears to me that those imposing cuts in essential services expect that the inconvenience and loss that the citizens suffer will accrue to their political benefit.

Controversial mining bill passes Legislature Smith votes against fast track bill that could create state and federal court bottleneck MADISON — State Rep. Stephen Smith, D–Shell Lake, gave his first floor speech in the state Assembly on Thursday, March 7, to express his strong concerns against 2013 Senate Bill 1, which makes significant changes to Wisconsin’s mining laws.

This controversial piece of legislation passed its final legislative hurdle in the state Assembly and will most likely be signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker.

Democratic legislators introduced 17 amendments and two substitute amendments – one, which represented a bipartisan effort by Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, and Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center. All of the amendments were primarily aimed at protecting natural resources and drinking water, protecting tourism jobs, and providing safeguards on public health and local community resources. All of these amendments were rejected by the majority party.

“Especially at a time when Wisconsin continues to seriously lag the nation and our neighboring states in job creation, today represents a huge missed opportunity for bipartisanship and finding common ground on a responsible mining bill that can protect Wisconsin citizens and resources. I’m disappointed that the majority party would not accept a single amendment to make this legislation better and instead pushed forward an extreme and polarizing bill that will severely weaken environmental and human health protections,” stated Smith.

There was a bipartisan mining compromise on the table that would streamline the process without undermining environmental protections or creating a legal bottleneck. Without legislation that will conform to federal law, this legislation – without acceptable environmental standards – could lead to litigation in both state and federal courts, with no jobs ever created.

“I do not believe the state of Wisconsin can afford to get this wrong – we absolutely should not be putting polarizing out-of-state special interests over protecting our environment, our public health and our local communities. I think we need a full range of investments in economic

and purposefully thought out intended changes to environmental and human health protections. This legislation places corporate profits before putting dollars in the pocketbooks of real Wisconsin citizens.

I have always said that a nation that could put a man on the moon and return home safely, should be able to mine iron ore without doing harm to the environment. Let us always remember the tragedies our nation suffered when quick time lines were imposed on safe space travel standards. Who could forget the Challenger explosion or the Columbia disaster?

We do not need a Bad River disaster, we do not need an Ashland drinking water disaster, we do not need a Chequamegon Bay disaster, we do not need another Lake Superior disaster.

Today we have before us a clash of ideas, and I want to stay respectful of all representatives. I believe all of us here are motivated to help make Wisconsin a better place to live and do business, we just do not agree on the road map to this common destination. While the process used to get this legislation before us today is flawed, I know this bill is on the fast track, but let us stop this train wreck now.

Our state can do better than SB 1 … this Legislature should do better than SB 1 … and Ma and Pa Wisconsin deserve better.

This substitute amendment begins the path to progress.

Thank you Mr. Speaker.

Those adventures are reflected by hundreds of pieces of artwork, sculpture and photographs on display in the opulent dining rooms of the restaurant.

New Ventures gardening seminar to be held at Northwood School MINONG — Gardeners who would like to have gorgeous, healthy and productive gardens are invited to the 13th-annual daylong New Ventures Garden Seminar on Saturday, March 16, at Northwood School, Minong. The seminar will be held from 9:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m., with registration and vendor sales beginning at 8:45 a.m.

Preregistration is required.

The event, hosted by the Spooner Garden Club, Northwood Community Ed and the North Country Master Gardeners, will inspire gardeners with presentations on roses, shrubs, plant hardiness and plant diseases.

Gardeners will be able to attend all four sessions featured at the seminar: Rusts and Smuts and Leaf Spots – Oh, My! Diabolical Diseases in the Home Garden: Plant diseases can make growing vegetables, flowers, trees and shrubs a challenge. Plant disease expert Brian Hudelson will give an overview of the types of diseases common

in the home garden and how to produce healthier, more beautiful plants.

Tried, True and New Shrubs: Many new shrubs have been introduced over the last few years with a focus on adding color and compact size to the landscape. Kathy Zuzek, who previously worked in a woody ornamental research program, will explore some of those new shrubs along with older shrub cultivars that perform well in Zone 3 and 4 gardens. She also will look at how to select shrubs, what is appealing among the cultivars and what is not so appealing in others.

Growing Roses that Thrive in the North: David Zlesak knows roses. Some of the roses he developed are already on the market. He will spotlight readily grown, proven cultivars and give tips on selecting and planting roses, helping them acclimate, aiding their survival over winter, pruning, and helping them combat diseases.

Students to present “The Westing Game” SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake High School students have been rehearsing for the play “The Westing Game,” which was first commissioned and produced by Prime Stage, Pittsburgh, Pa. Assisting with the play is director Laura Bruce.

In the production, the unsuspecting residents of Sunset Towers are summoned to the reading of a mysterious will, only to find themselves locked in a thrilling game,

as they must discover who is responsible for killing an eccentric millionaire. It’s a combination of a mystery novel, a jigsaw puzzle and a game of Clue.

Performances will be held at the Shell Lake Arts Center on Friday, March 15, 7 p.m.; Saturday, March 16, 2 and 7 p.m.; and again Sunday, March 17, at 2 p.m.

Tickets will be sold at the door only. — with submitted information

Respecting the elderly ou may have heard the expression, “It is hard to get old.” Some may ask, what is considered being old? Some people in their golden years may continue to be just as involved with projects as they were in their younger days. Others by a younger age may have had to give up activities they once enjoyed due to health reasons and the body wearing out.

Aging is inevitable. We all know what the alternative to growing old is. Unfortunately, aging is one of those things that has become a target for jokes. As we grow older, one of the first things we seem to blame on aging is our forgetfulness. I recently read the following: “Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses. Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what’s known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. It’s not aging, it’s the stupid door. What a relief to learn this.

Thank goodness for studies like this.”

After the Register published photos of students celebrating 100 days of school, I received a phone call from a very gracious elderly person. This person was concerned that the photos of students portraying older people was disrespectful. I respect the views and opinions of those who may have taken offense.

In the fun of dressing up, I don’t believe the children meant to be disrespectful.

My husband, Milt, received the following poem from an emergency medical technician that he works with doing emergency medical service in the Frederic and Luck area. The poem was written by an elderly man and found after he died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Neb. Crabby Old Man What do you see, nurses? What do you see?

What are you thinking when you’re looking at me?

A crabby old man not very wise, Uncertain of habit with faraway eyes.

Who dribbles his food and makes no reply, When you say in a loud voice, “I do wish you’d try!”

Who seems not to notice the things that you do.

And forever is losing a sock or shoe?

Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you

will, With bathing and feeding the long day to fill?

Is that what you’re thinking? Is that what you see?

Then open your eyes, nurse you’re not looking at me.

I’ll tell you who I am as I sit here so still, As I do at your bidding, as I eat at your will.

I’m a small child of 10, with a father and mother, Brothers and sisters who love one another.

A young boy of 16, with wings on his feet, Dreaming that soon now a lover he’ll meet.

A groom soon at 20, my heart gives a leap, Remembering the vows that I promised to keep.

At 25, now I have young of my own, Who need me to guide and secure a happy home.

A man of 30, my young now grown fast, Bound to each other with ties that should last.

At 40, my young sons have grown and are gone, But my woman’s beside me to see I don’t mourn.

At 50, once more, babies play ‘round my knee, Again, we know children, my loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me, my wife is now dead.

I look at the future, shudder with dread.

For my young are all rearing young of their own.

And I think of the years and the love that I’ve known.

I’m now an old man and nature is cruel.

Tis jest to make old age look like a fool.

The body, it crumbles, grace and vigor, depart.

There is now a stone where I once had a heart.

But inside this old carcass a young guy still dwells, And now and again my battered heart swells.

I remember the joys, I remember the pain.

And I’m loving and living life over again.

I think of the years, all too few, gone too fast.

And accept the stark fact that nothing can last.

So open your eyes people, open and see.

Not a crabby old man. Look closer, see me!

New snowmobile trail proves popular

by Phil Soltis Special to the Register WASHBURN COUNTY — The Rolling Hills Snowmobile/ATV Club’s new, safer snowmobile trail proved popular to riders this winter. New trails these days are almost unheard of due to lack of funding and volunteers to provide the many hours of free labor required to make them a reality. Trail No. 6 connects an existing trail in the Town of Madge to the Harmon Lake loop and the Long Lake area in southeast Washburn County.

The former trail followed Leesome Lake and Harmon Lake roads and was considered a traffic hazard.

Rolling Hills Club members had attempted to move the trail over a 10-year period with little success. A new approach that began three years ago proved successful due in large part to some very generous private landowners who agreed to allow the public to cross their land. Riders are reminded to stay on the trail or it may be lost to users. One upset landowner can result in an entire trail being closed.

To open the new trail it took literally hundreds of hours of donated labor by a handful of Rolling Hills Club members, most in their 60s and 70s. Work started with landowner contacts, trail layout, trees cut, brushing and trees chunked and moved aside, bulldozing and signing.

When snow arrived, grooming of trail No. 6 and approximately 140 miles of additional trails for which the Rolling Hills Club is responsible, began in earnest.

Each section of the trail system is being groomed every three days. The trails are groomed by a Tucker Sno Cat and a New Holland farm tractor. Twelve groomer operators provide the free labor almost round the clock on some days and operate seven days per week.

During the summer, club members are busy with chain saws removing downed trees and brush, brushing with the New Holland and grading the ATV trails.

This summer, two new bridges will be constructed and some trails rerouted.

The Washburn County Forestry Department also coordinates and works on trail development under the leadership of Mike Peterson, forestry administrator, and Mark Hile, director of parks and recreation.

Funding of trail development and upkeep is provided through snowmobile/ATV registration fees, however, it is up to the club member volunteers to earn the funds by providing the free labor. Obviously, the current members cannot continue carrying the full load. New members are desperately needed if this area of Washburn County wants to continue the trail program.

Residents and trail users, including snowmobilers, ATVers, skiers, horseback riders, bicyclists and hikers are invited to attend Rolling Hills Club meetings the first Wednesday of each month to learn more about how they can get involved in preserving the trail system. Currently, there are leadership positions open, including three board of director positions.

For more information, contact membership Chairman Paul Johnson, 715-416-2842; Joseph Fitzgerald, 715-635-3902 in the Spooner area; or Phil Soltis, 715468-7695, in the Shell Lake area.

Public input sought on Wisconsin panfishing Spooner meeting set for March 14 SPOONER — Washburn County anglers and others are invited to share their preferences and expectations for panfishing in Wisconsin.

The meeting will be held at the Department of Natural Resources Spooner Service Center, 810 W Maple St., Thursday, March 14, at 7 p.m.

The Spooner public meeting is one of the 28 being held in February and March by the DNR’s fisheries managers to discuss the future of panfish management in Wisconsin.

“This meeting is an opportunity for anglers to provide input on their preferences and expectations for panfish,” Wendel said. “While some background information will be provided, we are most interested in hearing the perspective of anglers and using that input to guide future management decisions.”

The evening’s agenda includes a brief presentation about long-term trends in panfish size and numbers.

Attendees will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire and/or discuss how they view the panfish populations in their area, what they would like to be different and what they might be willing to give up in exchange for improvements in panfish size or numbers.

The panfish questionnaire and background materials presented are now also available online by going to the DNR home page, dnr.wi.gov, and do a keyword search for panfish plan.

Panfish account for nearly two-thirds of all fish caught in Wisconsin, according to a 2006-2007 mail survey, with nearly half of all panfish caught being kept for the table. The DNR has long had management plans in place for game fish species such as walleye, bass, musky and northern pike, and biologists and some anglers believe such attention is necessary for panfish. — from WDNR

Barronett by Judy Pieper Well, I still haven’t heard from the elusive Barronett travelers. Maybe in their minds the locations are mixed up, and they think that the Las Vegas saying is, “What happens in Jamaica stays in Jamaica.” I’m sure those travelers exist, because the little bird that told me about their trip also told me that they had been to his house enjoying a few Cribbage games with him and his better half. Oh, they also seem to be a just a tad intimidating because there was a rumored threat about blowing up birdhouses.

Hmmm.

Members of Barronett Lutheran are now collecting items to be sent to our troops in Afghanistan. We’d like to send the package out within the next two or three weeks, so if you have any items to donate, please call one of our members

and we will let you know where to drop them. Thanks, ahead of time, for anything you would like to donate to make the lives of our servicemen and women a little easier while they are over there.

Have a good week!

ever seen. He wins most of the time.

This past week, however, the winners were first, Joe Fortin, second, Carl Boegel, and third, Linda Fortin. Linda didn’t care that she came in third. She was just overjoyed that she finally beat George.

Let the competition begin!

The friendly neighborhood moocher, aka Terry Goodrich, stopped by the Sweet home to visit with Pat and Doug a while back. Well, it was just a coincidence that he dropped in just at lunchtime. Pat asked him if he wanted a bowl of soup, and Terry, being a gentleman, didn’t want to hurt her feelings by turning her down. Yeah, right, Terry. Anyway, in addition to the soup she put out salad, sandwiches, desserts — lots and lots of food. No one leaves that house hungry.

Anyway, Pat was sitting between Doug and Terry during the meal, and Doug was talking about his dad, Austin Sweet, and his career as a railroad fireman.

Doug said that he had always been interested in trains. He said that when he was a young man he had always wanted to ride the rails, but that, “I lost my heart to this nice little girl. And here she is sitting between the two of us.” Isn’t that just the nicest thing? It’s fun to hear about men who are still in love with their wives.

Lillian Ullom will be celebrating one of those pesky birthdays that end in a zero soon. They certainly sneak up on a person, don’t they? Anyway, her kids will be hosting a 90th birthday party for her on Saturday, March 23. Look for the ad in this week’s Register. Stop by and help Lillian celebrate her big day.

Shane and Anitia Lehmann and Corey and Dalton Anderson were among the throng of spectators at the Wisconsin state hockey tournament in Sparta on Sunday. Anitia’s great-grandson, DaShawn, is one of the players on the Cumberland Squirts team, and they took

first place in the tournament. As you can imagine, the team members and their many fans were pretty excited about the win. DaShawn also plays for the Cumberland Peewees, and next weekend that team will be playing at the state tournament in Merrill. Good luck, guys.

John and Nancy Forrestal and Duane and I took the scenic route to Barron on Saturday evening to have supper at the Rolling Oaks Restaurant. Actually, we headed to Birchwood because I thought there was a pancake supper at the Catholic church there, but I must have read the date of the supper wrong because the place was completely deserted. So, we decided that we really didn’t want to go home hungry, sand we headed to Barron. Trust me on this, we didn’t go home hungry. Pat wasn’t there, but Justin made sure we had plenty of good stuff to eat. We had a good time visiting and eating.

Duane and Rick Theese have a guysgetting-even-type thing going on. Duane was shoveling the sidewalk a few days ago, and Rick came up behind him, kicking snow back onto the sidewalk as he walked. Duane knew by the sound of it what was happening, so he didn’t even turn around, just threw a shovel full behind him and covered Rick with snow.

Then, while Rick and Robin were in the garage, Duane walked out to their truck and piled snow up on the driver’s side so high that when Rick tried to get in the truck, he couldn’t get the door open. Isn’t it funny that men will do that much work just to play a trick on their friends? I’m nervously waiting to see what the payback is going to be. Keeps life interesting, I’ll tell you that for sure.

Well, I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. See you next time.

Jo-Ann Catherine (Starr) Downs

Glen E. Nordin

Jo-Ann Catherine Downs, 69, Lady Lake, Fla., passed away peacefully March 1, 2013, at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., with her family by her side. Jo-Ann was born Aug. 3, 1943, in Hayward, to Antoine and Cora Starr, Ashland. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

Jo-Ann grew up on the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians Reservation in northwestern Wisconsin and graduated from Ashland High School in 1961. She attended the University of Wisconsin - Superior, earning a Bachelor of Science in business education and a minor in physical education, in 1965. On June 10, 1967, Jo-Ann married William “Bill” Corbin in Spooner. She initially taught physical education at Spooner High School, and then she taught business education at Shell Lake High School for 22 years. She later held various positions for the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, including internal auditor, education director, chief financial officer and general manager. On Dec. 7, 1992, Jo-Ann married Thomas J. Downs in Spooner. They split their time between their home on Bond Lake, near Wascott, and their home in Lady Lake, Fla. Jo-Ann was deeply passionate about education and working with children. After retiring, she was a substitute teacher at various schools near her homes in Wisconsin and Florida, most recently at Village View

Community Church in Florida. She also helped with school administration duties. She especially enjoyed working with young children and spent most of her time in Florida with preschool children. She continued her own education throughout her life and recently was certified with her director credential by the Florida Department of Children and Families Child Care Services. She also enjoyed cooking, traveling and golfing. Above all else, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, doing crafts, baking sweets and playing games.

She is survived by her loving husband, Tom, Lady Lake, Fla.; son, Scott (Jenny) Corbin, Spooner; stepson, Terry (Melissa) Downs, Rochester, Minn.; stepdaughter, Amanda Downs, Minnetonka, Minn.; grandchildren, Liam and Julia Corbin, Carter, Sidney and Grace Downs and Maxwell Collier; and sister, Jean (Floyd) Deeth, Anniston, Ala. Jo-Ann was preceded in death by her first husband, William “Bill” Corbin; parents, Antoine Starr and Cora Roberts (Starr); stepfather, Jack Roberts; sister, Nancy Ross (Starr); and brother George Starr.

A funeral service was held March 8 at Village View Community Church in Summerfield, Fla. A funeral service was also held March 11 at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Spooner.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Tom and JoAnn’s home on Bond Lake, in Wascott, at a date this summer yet to be determined. This will include her interment at the Wascott Cemetery.

Dewey-LaFollette by Karen Mangelsen Sympathy is extended to Shane and Austin Denotter, and other family members, due to the death of Shane and Austin’s mother, Irene Louden. She was 72.

Sympathy is also extended to Melba Denotter and family, due to the death of Melba’s mother, Valeria Michaelson. She would have been 100 on April 8.

Clam River Tuesday Club met March 6 at the home of Trudy DeLawyer. Special visitor was Barb Durand.

Sarah McCarty visited Lida Nordquist Thursday evening.

Hank and Karen Mangelsen called on Gene and Carlotta Romsos

Dewey Country Daylight saving time began on Sunday. Yes, we lost an hour of sleep and people were yawning. It takes a lot of people some time to get used to this, including myself. But, some way, some how, we get through it.

Happy birthday to Nate Kane on his special day, March 14, with many more to come.

A very happy birthday to Jeff Vesta on March 15 when he enjoys his special day with many more to come.

Happy birthday to my favorite sister, Marie Quam, Brandon Doriott and Lane Hinksuss. Have a great day each of you.

March 19, happy birthday to Kelli Marlow as she enjoys her special day. Have a great day, Kelli.

Happy birthday to my sister-in-law, Marie Lawrence, to Loren Rawling, Shane Denotter and Aaron LaVeau, all celebrating their birthday on March 20.

Have a great one.

My sister, Dot Gudlin, tells us they have had 19 snowstorms, leaving behind a good 40 inches. The last snowstorm in the Twin Cities had about 9 inches, causing lots of schools to close.

Friday afternoon.

Lida Nordquist and Caleb Schott visited Nina and Lawrence Hines Saturday evening.

Karen and Hank Mangelsen were supper guests at the home of April, Dave, Patty and Mandy Close Saturday.

Lida Nordquist and Jan Schott went to the home of Joleen and Richard Funk Sunday afternoon. They helped Robb Funk celebrate his birthday.

by Pauline Lawrence

Last week at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s they had a birthday party for Jim and his daughter, Pattie. Attending were Pattie and Noel Beaufeaux and sons Kyle and Mitch, Lisa Ott, Marjorie and Charlie, Jim Atkinson, and Scot and Kristen Carls and children. Sandy tells us she made a big kettle of homemade chicken and noodle soup, which is Pattie’s favorite.

Get-well wishes go out to Steve Hulleman who had a bad cold and the flu. It certainly isn’t fun, is it Steve?

We hear that the Don Israels have been sick a lot this winter. Kris Fjelstad’s foot has laid her up. Jim and Marie Andrea have also been visited by colds and flu this winter.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Irene Louden who passed away recently.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Melba Denotter who lost her mom. Funeral services are later in the week.

Talking with Diane Hulleman we find Diane and son Steve splitting a load of wood before noon and another load in the afternoon.

Talking with Bernard Redding we find

he is about the same and Sandy is getting stronger. Keep it up Sandy, we want you back in Dewey Country. The Reddings children visit Sandy often and also see Bernard when he’s down to visit his honey.

Sunday found Vicki Trott entertaining her parents, Cecil and Evelyn Melton, by playing 500 Rummy. I wonder who got beat this week?

I had some errands to do Monday so the two pups went with me. I did what errands I had to do and then went grocery shopping. I left the two pups in the car and locked it and about 20 minutes later I was done so went to my car and opened the trunk. Well those two pups went nuts! After I was done unloading my groceries, I went to get in the car. Well I had two pups sitting in the driver’s seat.

And of course, they were all over me. So I started the car and here was Rammy on my lap. Where was Rory? Well, he sat next to me on the seat and that’s the way they rode all the way home. And I thought they didn’t miss me?

Terry Nesvold has retired from the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department.

Glen E. Nordin, 92, Shell Lake, died Saturday, March 9, 2013, at Indianhead Medical Center in Shell Lake, and had been at Terraceview Living Center.

He was born May 24, 1920, to Ernest and Minnie (Halseth) Nordin. Glen graduated from Shell Lake High School in 1939. He was married in Shell Lake on June 14, 1947, to Avis Rydberg.

Glen farmed until 1956, then owned and operated Nordin Construction from 1955-1983. He was an expert craftsman and stonemason, who fit the description jack-of-all-trades. Glen used these skills to build the cupboards and the cross at his church.

An active community member, he was chairman of the United Methodist Men’s Club, a member of the Masonic Lodge and was active in Boy Scouts, including being cubmaster for years. Glen was a founding member of Terraceview Living Center and served on the board and also on the block grant committee. He was the 2005 Shell Lake Citizen of the Year.

Both he and his wife loved Alpine skiing, which they would frequently do in Vail, Colo. Glen had a huge garden, loved hunting and particularly fishing for walleye and trout, and he volunteered to take clarity of Shell Lake for many years. He is loved and remembered as a hard worker and a good father who provided well for his family.

Glen is survived by his wife, Avis, Shell Lake; sons Lynn Nordin, Spooner, Darwin Nordin (Rebecca Watson), Seattle, Wash., and Devin (Lynn) Nordin, Daytona, Fla.; grandchildren Matt Nordin, Grand Cayman, Bev Nordin, Kansas City, Mo., Jeremy (Elisa) Nordin, River Falls, and Jaclyn Nordin, living as a student in Winona, Minn.; and sister Betty Toftness, Amery.

He was preceded in death by a daughter, baby girl Nordin, and sister Orphy Shook.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, March 16, at Shell Lake United Methodist Church with the Rev. Greg Harrell officiating. Burial will be in Shell Lake Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 10-11 a.m. on Saturday at the church.

The Skinner Funeral Home, Shell Lake, was entrusted with arrangements.

Talking to Karen Vanderhoof we find her baby-sitting once again. She had Rory, MaKenna and Connor Vanderhoof to baby-sit.

Congratulations to Remington Ladd who wrestled in regionals and took first place. March 23 Remington will go to state in Madison. We’re behind you, Remington, and hope for another win.

Karen Vanderhoof tells us they went to Somerset to Dave and Katie Kinde’s Saturday.

Chad and Ashley Crosby and Chase and Morgan were home for the weekend at the Garry Crosbys. Saturday Beth had fried fresh fish to serve to her honey Garry, Shorty and Melissa, Tyler and Katie Ann, Tom and Sunshine, Isaac, Josie and Alycia Crosby, and Chad and Ashley, Chase and Morgan. Sunday Chase and Shorty, Tyler and Katie Ann, Tom and Isaac enjoyed playing cards and games at Grandma Beth’s. Beth brewed up her special dish for the gang, along with caramel rolls. Yummy.

A

centipede lived a happy life until he met a toad. Noticing all of the centipede’s legs he asked, “How do you keep all of those legs working together with no problems?”

This disturbed the centipede so much that he rolled over on his back and his legs fell limp at his sides. He was so confused that he became paralyzed.

This can happen to any Christian at any time. We begin to stress about everything that is going on in our lives and let our simple, God-given faith escape us. We begin to look at the small pieces instead of the great God who is at work in every small detail. We fail to, “run the race with patience, looking at Jesus.” But trusting in him as our savior and believing that his strength will sustain us, we can overcome life’s difficulties that would discourage us or the problems that would paralyze us. God will enable us to run confidently, work successfully and live victoriously as we look to him in faith believing.

PAGE 16 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - MARCH 13, 2013

by Marian Furchtenicht

This March does not match the incredible mild March of last year when the snow was all gone, really early, and I had seen my first robin on the lawn grass on this date. I guess Ma Nature is trying, though. I’m waiting to hear of the sighting of the first robin this year.

The weekend was so overcast, drizzly, dreary, it made for an ache for folks with arthritis. Why does low pressure affect us like that?

There are lots of icy spots around so watch your step and also your driving.

Sarona Teddy Bear gals in-house pool league finished up with Elaine Ryan, first place; Kelly Stoner, second; Mary Berman, third; and Alicia Miller, fourth.

Jeff Hutton, Amarillo, Texas, was up on the weekend to visit kids, Lainy and Chane. They went snowmobiling, ate out and played, staying at Greg and Sue Krantz’s and having a good time.

Jim Gagner and girlfriend Amanda, Rice Lake, visited Bev Helmer one day while here visiting at his folks. I visited her on Sunday and found her pretty well. Hospice has been coming to help. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Vivian Bergman enjoyed a luncheon together with the Cameron Post Office girls, Kathy Bergman, Candi Homme and Sally Kraczek, reminiscing and catching up on the latest.

Vivian went with her brother, Gene, and wife Kathy to the Twin Cities to celebrate their grandson, Nick’s, birthday.

Donna Ness sent me the news about a 90th birthday open house for her mom, Lillian Ullom, on Sunday, March 23.

Please read the ad in this week’s Register and plan to attend this event to help a great lady celebrate her milestone.

Marlene Hanson and friend Jack spent last Friday until

Wednesday evening in Minot, N.D., at Krista and Karl Okonek’s, and little son, Jaydon’s. They had a nice time.

Kyle Schaffer and son Jackson were out and helped his dad tap maple trees. Wife Amy and Emme stopped over later for supper. It’s that time of year.

The Butch Schaffers celebrated daughter Michelle’s birthday with the whole family together recently.

Rocky Semm had cataract surgery in Rice Lake on Friday so he’s recovering from that. Gloria Frey had laser surgery on Thursday so hope both can see better now.

Dan and Cindy Rux, Chance and roommate from Mausten were up here at their cabin on the weekend. I had a nice phone visit with his mom, Wanda, and all is well with her, likes the living center where she lives and sends a hi to all of her friends here.

Mary Mancl came out and picked up Mavis Schlapper for Sunday church and the midwinter fun day with food and games at St. Catherine’s in Sarona.

Even I goof up some times. A correction to make in my last week’s column. It was Bob Watkins singing solos at Sarona Methodist Church on Sunday, March 3, not Steve Carlson.

Sorry about that.

Kevin Nieman, 55, Rice Lake, passed away March 8 after a long battle with cancer. He is the stepfather of Ryan Butterfield and Jessica Furchtenicht. Sympathy to his wife, Sherri, his mother, son and daughter as well as extended family. Private funeral was held Saturday at Appleyard’s in Rice Lake.

Been a quiet week at my house, just kids stopping.

Son-in-law John and Brian Marschall brought their catch of panfish fillets out and had supper with me one evening.

Alzheimer’s/from page 1

Resources

Here in Washburn County, several valuable services are already in place to assist the caregiver. The Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner becomes a Happy Day Club twice a week, whose attendees are picked up by the Namekagon Transport bus. They are fed and interacted with for a full day, giving the caregiver a needed day of rest. The Happy Day Club also runs one day a week in Birchwood.

A support group for caregivers is held the first and third Wednesday of each month in Spooner hospital’s basement conference room between 6-8 p.m. This is a place to vent and cry and laugh. It’s a place where caregivers can complain about family members not understanding and supporting their efforts and everyone understands. It’s a place of complete privacy so words spoken there go no further.

This year there will be caregiver’s group coming in June that will deal with the incredible amount of stress they bear. There are also new programs that will be shared with various workplaces to educate about the disease. Doctor’s offices will receive additional information on the Memory Clinic in Spooner that will give them a viable tool for their patients when Alzheimer’s is suspected.

Another program that has received great response is called TrialMatch. This is a free, easy-to-use clinical study matching service that connects individuals with Alzheimer’s, caregivers, healthy volunteers and physicians with current studies. This continuously updated database of 130-plus Alzheimer’s clinical trials includes both pharmacological and nonpharmacological studies that are being conducted at nearly 500 trial sites across the country.

There are specific studies for caregivers with qualityof-life studies that provide insight into the stresses and effects of caring for a person with dementia. These studies explore ways to improve quality of life. There are studies for healthy volunteers that compare people with no known significant health problems to patient groups.

These clinical trials can enable people with the disease to play a more active role in their health care by accessing potential treatments before they are widely available.

Every 68 seconds, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. In 2011, more than 15 million family members and friends provided over 17 billion hours of unpaid care. Currently there are an estimated 5 million Americans who are living with Alzheimer’s and this number could triple by 2050.

The Alzheimer’s Organization encourages those wanting information on this disease to log onto alz.org. They also encourage those without a computer to find a neighbor or a family member or friend to help them research online. There are computers at the local libraries and the

Those interested in becoming a part of this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s planning committee are invited to attend monthly meetings held in the Aging and Disability Resource Center’s conference room, located on Fairgrounds Road in Spooner. — Photo by Diane Dryen staff is willing to help find the information.

There is also a very reliable resource right in Spooner.

Joan Litwitz, outreach specialist, has an office in Spooner and that number is 715-635-6601.

The Alzheimer’s help line number is 800-272-3900 and it’s accessible 24/7. This year’s walk committee is forming now, and if you’d like to be a part of this valuable fundraising effort, contact Litwitz for more information.

-nosed with Alzheimer’s. They fall into three categories.

For those 65 to 74, there are 24 cases. From age 75 to 84, there are 203. From age 85 and up, there are 230 documented cases. As you can see, this is a disease mainly of the old, who are at the greatest risk for Alzheimer’s.

Across the United States, the number of phone calls to the Alzheimer’s hot line has doubled in the past year. For all of the calls received, many anonymously, the callers not only got information about the disease through its 10 warning signs, but also got referrals to local chapters.

They were also offered care consultations to help make a plan for the future of both the one with the disease, and also a plan for the caregiver, who has a long, arduous road ahead.

Because Alzheimer’s is a disease for the old, the funding for research always falls far short of its goals. Where Alzheimer’s gets $500 million for research, other diseases get billions. What most people don’t realize is that Alzheimer’s effects are far-reaching. There are many caregivers still in their 30s and up who are juggling their own work schedules as well as their spouses and children’s needs in order to care for an aging parent with Alzheimer’s.

SHELL LAKE — When Laura Johnson, former Shell Lake School secretary, died in October, her sons and daughters-in-law, Larry and Betty Johnson, Shell Lake, and Bill and Pat Johnson, Baldwin, along with her daughter and son-in-law, Carole and Jim Foreman, Shawano, donated money to the Shell Lake School District to purchase books.

School librarian Sue Pederson recently made those purchases.

Students in the primary school are benefiting from new books in print as well as guided reading and listening center books.

Johnson retired in 1986 after working for the school district for

20 years. According to her family, she was an avid Packers, Brewers and Badgers fan, saying that if any game was on, she wouldn’t answer the phone. “For her funeral she asked all of us to wear our Packer, Badger or Brewer jerseys, and we did,” explained Bonnie Meier, retired school district employee. — with submitted information

Primary students celebrate The Shell Lake Primary School received a grant through the Tauscher’s Reading Initiative For Every Child To Achieve Foundation, sponsored by Mark Tauscher of the Green Bay Packers. The primary students were challenged to read 144,000 minutes during the month of February. Using bookmark timers purchased through Northwind Book and Fiber of Spooner, students kept track of their reading minutes at school. They also added minutes of reading from home. The students surpassed their goal and read over 160,000 minutes. To celebrate their success, Kevin McMullin performed, and the Cat in the Hat and Thing 2 served ice-cream sundaes to all the students on Tuesday, March 5. — Photo submitted
