SPOONER – Aerial surveys were conducted recently by the Department of Natural Resources in the Shell Lake area to help provide an index on the number of deer within the survey area, as well as identifying areas with especially high concentrations of deer. The survey focused on the areas near Shell Lake where a sick deer was discovered in November 2011. It was tested and found to be positive for chronic wasting disease. The surveys covered an area of 36 square miles. Transects were flown a quarter-mile apart, totaling 144 linear miles surveyed. Two DNR observers and a pilot with extensive aerial survey experience conducted the survey. An average of 465 deer were observed recently during two fixed-wing aerial surveys. DNR wildlife biologists were able to identify multiple areas containing high concentrations of deer. Several of these concentrations are within one mile of the site where the initial CWDpositive deer was detected. One illegal feeding site was also detected.

While an important tool for surveying wildlife populations, including deer, researchers said only 50 to 60 percent of deer present are typically seen during aerial observations. The ability to see deer from the air is affected by aircraft speed, topography and forest density. - from the DNR

History in the making

Plans under way to spend the $85,000 from the county

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Plans were in the works long before Washburn County Historical Society President Rod Ripley appeared before the county board with a request for a loan of

$85,000.

“We’d been keeping an eye on the little house that was on the lot next to the historical complex for some time now. We knew the woman who owned it, Eunice L. Bennet, and we also knew her son, Bruce. She originally bought it in 1979, and when she died this past January, we contacted the son and told him if he was going to sell, we were interested in See Historical Society, page 18

State to basically put state’s checkbook on the Internet

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Next week, Wisconsin will open its checkbook to anyone who wants to look. It’s called Open Book Wisconsin.

Open Book is two years in the making, promised by Gov. Scott Walker as a way to make state government transparent.

Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch says there’s a lot of infor-

mation from all state agencies to enter.

He says they’re about ready to launch.

“The power of this particular program will be to provide information to any taxpayer who wants to sit in front of their computer, unlike anything even a governor has had ever before,” Huebsch said. “ Open Book will give Internet access to anything the state spends, although it will be a work in progress.”

Huebsch says they’ve been giving it a

test run, just in case it comes back to bite them. “[I’m] not afraid; I’m certain it will! I’m certain at times it will come back. There are companies that come up where we are spending money with Joe’s Liquor Store. What we didn’t know until we looked into it is that Joe’s Liquor Store is actually the local BP station, and it’s doing business as Joe’s Liquor Store. So while we may be purchasing gas at the

BP station, we’re actually writing the check to Joe’s Liquor Store.”

Huebsch says this will be a first-of-itskind Web site in the country. State employee salaries and fringe benefits will be added in the coming months. A few names will be kept off to protect certain people, such as undercover law enforcement agents or victims of domestic abuse.

Signs of stability evident at Shell Lake Schools Board votes down proposal to allow off-duty officers to carry firearms in school buildings; energy-saving roof project moving ahead

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake school District seems to have stability.

Enrollment has been steady at about 670 students, and enrollment in all classes is about the same. Open enrollment brings in about 20 more students than are lost. The fund balance or cash reserve is up this year while the property tax mill rate went down.

Even the school board is stable with very little turnover.

With that stable setting, the Shell Lake School Board held its monthly meeting Monday night, March 18. Agenda items included an energy-saving roofing project, a look at technology purchases and reactivation of volleyball. A discussion on allowing off-duty officers to be armed at the school ended with the idea rejected.

The meeting opened with a visit from state Rep. Steve Smith, the newly elected state Assembly member and a Shell Lake resident. Smith told the board that the new state budget does not contain a lot of good news for public schools. He said there is no increase in funding for public schools, while a 16-percent increase in the education budget will all go to vouchers for private schools. Smith said that he and state Sen. Bob Jauch are holding a series of listening sessions to hear the concerns of Northwest Wisconsin residents about education.

District Superintendent Jim Connell shared information on student test results in public and private schools.

In both math and reading, Shell Lake students placed higher (proficient and advanced) than the state average and higher than the Milwaukee pub-

lic schools. But in both the Milwaukee and Racine districts, the public school students tested higher than the private choice students for the same areas.

Roof replacement The district will use new dollars allowed under the state Energy Exemption Law to replace the school roof, adding more insulation in the process.

That will lower heating costs while making a needed repair. The $500,000 project will be paid off over two years.

Connell said the energy exemption rule allows a district to exceed the revenue cap for projects that increase a district’s energy efficiency. The district is also getting bids for the shop building project, with construction to be done this summer. That will be a $35,000 project for the building.

Ed Headle, the district technology specialist, presented a very detailed proposal, the 1 to 1 Computing Project Overview. The board will study the report on how one-on-one technology will work in the classroom, what will be needed in the district for the new technology, and what the cost will be. The time line calls for installation for the 9-12 classes over the summer, implementation next school year, and an evaluation in the spring of 2014, looking to explore expansion into grades seven and eight.

Volleyball is returning to the district, and the board approved hiring four new coaches, Jessica Furchtenicht for varsity, Rachael Schmidt and Ashley Anderson for junior varsity, and Allie Gronning for junior high volleyball.

No concealed firearms in school Off-duty law enforcement officers will not be allowed to carry concealed firearms in the school buildings.

The idea had been explored as a possible emergency response or prevention idea. Connell said the concept might give the public a feeling of safety. Jeri Bitney said she recoiled from the idea and asked who would know that it was happening. Tim Mikula said it is bet-

terto have someone in uniform at events.

Mary Ann Swan asked if there was any need for this. And Stuart Olson asked if any of the staff desired it.

A motion to allow the off-duty officer concealed carry was defeated in a 5-2 vote with Linda Nielsen and Philip Holman the only ones in favor. The district has a new security system in place which will be demonstrated next month

before the board meeting.

Three Shell Lake students have formed a rock band and recorded a track that has put them on Launchpad, a music competition. The three, Sage Alberts on drums, Nick Muska on acoustic guitar and Brett Holman on bass, will perform live at the next level of competition in Chippewa Falls next month.

More on off-duty gun question

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer SHELL LAKE – A question of allowing off-duty law enforcement officers to carry guns while on Shell Lake School property was discussed at the school board meeting Monday, March 18. The board rejected the idea.

More information on the idea has been obtained from Shell Lake Police Chief Dave Wilson. The proposal would have applied only to officers of the Shell Lake City Police Department and only when they were present while off duty and

on the Shell Lake School property. The limitation of permission to that group of officers only was not mentioned during the school board discussion.

Wilson said he had given information on the subject to the school, including sample memorandums of understanding on the issue between other school districts and police departments. He said there could be situations where a Shell Lake police officer while off duty might accidentally break the law. Wilson was not at the school board meeting where the issue was discussed.

Employee health option, Minong dam project approved Short Washburn County board meeting,

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer

SHELL LAKE – The Washburn County Board meeting Tuesday, March 19, was over in one hour. In that hour, the 24 board members present, including four student supervisors, adopted an alternative health insurance option for county employees and approved a major project to reconstruct the Minong Flowage dam.

The insurance issue was the only item that divided the supervisors. Board member L. H. “Skip” Fiedler was an excused absence.

The health insurance proposal will allow county employees to switch from the county’s plan to other health coverage and receive a payment for switching. People switching from a family plan will receive $5,000 a year from the county, and those switching from a single plan will receive

$2,000 a year. Employees switching must prove that they will have health insurance from another source to get the payments.

The purpose of the proposal is to save the county money, Cookie Frankenberg, the human resource/benefits director, told the board. She said that health insurance is a major cost for the county, and this could benefit the county budget.

The fiscal impact of the “cash in lieu” program would be $14,246 per year per canceled family coverage and $5,539 per year for canceled single coverage according to figures in the resolution.

Clay Halverson, chair of the personnel committee that recommended the proposal, said that the proposal is a change in county policy and can be altered or canceled at any time if it is not working. He said it is worth a try.

Several supervisors expressed concerns about the idea. Gregory Krantz said, “This is wrong. We are participating in something I don’t like.” He added, “We

Area news

CAMERON — Cameron School District officials are looking at replacing the existing elementary school, adding some security measures at the middle school and building an addition to the high school. Estimated cost to build a new elementary school is $16 million.

High school and middle school renovations are estimated to cost $2 million, and building new track, football and baseball/softball fields would add another $2.5 million. The district hopes to have a referendum ready for vote in the Nov. 5 election. — from Barron NewsShield ••• BARRON — Employees from McDonald’s restaurant in Barron recently donated goodie bags for children need-

ing clinical services at Mayo Clinic Health System-Northland in Barron.

Each bag contains a coloring book, crayons, sticker and a small toy. The clinic’s new pediatric and adolescent medicine waiting area was made possible through a grant from the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western Wisconsin and Southeastern Minnesota.

The charity also granted funds for a new children’s waiting area at Mayo Clinic Health System’s clinic located in Rice Lake. In addition, employees of McDonald’s in Rice Lake donated blankets for infants and children who are seen in the clinic’s pediatric and adolescent medicine department. — from Barron NewsShield

are publishing our health-cost amounts, letting other employers know what they must bid against.”

“We are picking away at our employees,” Beth Esser said. Nell Lee asked if there was any limit on how often an employee could opt out and back in. She was told there was no limit but that switching would not be a problem. Thomas Ricci expressed concern that young people would opt out until they needed coverage, opting in when they had a large problem. He was told that employees must be covered by another plan to receive the county’s payment.

Some supervisors spoke in favor of the proposal. Terry Leckel Jr. said it was a great idea and gives the employee more control of their policy. Romaine Quinn said the county should try it, adding, “it’s savings for us.” David Haessig said WITC has offered the option for several years and has had success with it.

The cash in lieu resolution was adopted with seven supervisors voting against the proposal. The seven were Gregory Krantz, Larry Ford, James Pearson, Nell Lee,

Thomas Ricci, Robert Lester and Esser.

The Minong Flowage dam reconstruction project was approved quickly and unanimously by the county, concluding a long planning process that included feasibility studies, review by many agencies,and a public hearing. The water in the flowage behind the dam on the Totagatic River in the Town of Minong will be drawn down this spring. Over the summer, the dam will be reconstructed in stages. The work should be completed next fall.

Funding for the project will include $100,000 from Dahlberg Electric which leases the dam, $400,000 from a state grant,and from a five-year special assessment on properties in the Minong Flowage Dam Special Assessment District in the towns of Minong and Wascott in Douglas County.

One item on the agenda, Resolution of Necessity, was a disappointment. It did not remove necessity from the lives of county residents. It only allowed the county to acquire easements on properties for a county highway project.

Still no Spooner candidate Write-in elections watch

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer

WASHBURN COUNTY – The city of Spooner still needs a candidate for the Ward 3 city council seat. No one has yet registered as a write-in candidate for the position being vacated by Fred Schluter.

No one filed for the position during the December nomination period. The city now has a blank spot on the Tuesday, April 2, election ballot.

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 statutes 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.

Vote like it matters

Most conscientious citizens are aware of the importance of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court justices look at current legal issues, debate and argue, then frame their decisions based on their interpretation of the Constitution. The state of Wisconsin also has a Supreme Court. However, unlike the U.S. Supreme Court justices, who are often political appointees, we in Wisconsin are given the privilege and responsibility to elect our judges. This office is nonpartisan. Judges, therefore, are expected to represent, to the best of their ability, the interests of all.

This Tuesday, April 2, election is of critical importance. Why? Most certainly cases involving environmental protections, landowners and eminent domain, public education, health care, wage equality, etc., will come before this court.

Currently, the seven-member court has a well-publicized, highly funded Republican majority. Your vote has the power to provide the vital balance between the governor and Legislature.

For me the choice is clear: Ed Fallone.

As a professor at Marquette University Law School for over 20 years, he has the requisite understanding of the letter of the law, as well as the practical experience of working at a Milwaukee law firm specializing in complex litigation.

Please research the candidates - we all will have to live with the results of the Supreme Court election for the next 10 years. Vote like it matters, because this is one of those times it really does.

Lee Balek Couderay

Reasons to vote

We need a rest from politics. We feel this weariness of heavy partisan battles in Wisconsin during the last two years.

But whenever we give in to our tiredness, cynicism and resignation, our democratic society suffers.

So an urgent request … vote in the Tuesday, April 2, election for the two statewide elective offices.

There are two overriding reasons to vote April 2.

First, those who are indifferent to the growing gap in wealth between the richest Americans and the average citizen will not sit this election out. They will spend their money to get out the vote to defend their economic power.

If you and I as average citizens give up and stay home, the great power of money in politics will continue to dominate and influence elections, legislation and public policy.

The second reason: We should honor and reward candidates who are dedicated to nonpartisanship and are not

ideological in their approach to their office .

Ed Fallone, candidate for Supreme Court justice, will work to restore civility and balance to the Wisconsin Supreme Court that sorely needs healing. His knowledge and dedication to constitutional law will serve the interests of all Wisconsin citizens.

Tony Evers, the present superintendent of public instruction, has proven his leadership as a champion of public education and one dedicated to working with all segments of the public. The quality of our public education system is one of the great strengths of Wisconsin, and the best guarantee of an upward mobility pathway for our youth.

Your vote does make a difference.

Take time out Tuesday, April 2, to vote for Ed Fallone and Tony Evers.

Fred Kramer Spooner

Supports Ed Fallone

Do you believe everyone in Wisconsin should have equal access to justice? Do you believe that when shareholders have a dispute with corporations that they should have expert testimony available to them? If you do, please vote for Ed Fallone for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

He strongly believes that everyone deserves that same opportunity for justice.

Fallone’s qualifications are excellent.

He is an associate law professor at Marquette University and an expert in constitutional law, corporate law, criminal law, in white-collar crime, securities law and administrative law. He has spent the last 20 years teaching practical skills and the highest standard of ethics to the next generation of lawyers.

He just finished a three-year term on the board of directors of Business Law Section of the Wisconsin Bar and worked on drafting the Wisconsin Uniform Securities Act that gives expert testimony in cases where they are needed.

Fallone will work to change the rules to keep special-interest money out of Supreme Court decisions and strongly

believes that the court should be independent of politics. He will be an independent justice. He also plans on working to end the infighting among the justices. He believes in a more transparent court and would work to repeal the rule that allows individuals with pending cases before the court to give campaign contributions to those justices hearing the case.

We need a new face on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. New faces allow the court to become a whole new court.

He has experience in building consensus, this is sorely needed on our present court. It has been to discouraging to read about the amount of partisanship and big money that has become part of our Supreme Court elections. Fallone states, “Justices must be independent and nonpartisan and follow the law without regard to political consequences.”

Vote for Ed Fallone for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.

Dee Taylor Rice Lake

Pridemore is willing to listen

Don Pridemore has my vote for state superintendent of public instruction.

As head of the Department of Public Instruction, Pridemore will be responsible for implementation of the education legislation passed by the state and federal government. Since the federal government has been influencing the curriculum found in school textbooks for many years, many of us are concerned about the lack of historical accuracy of these school texts. We are also concerned about the emphasis on a political and social agenda rather than an emphasis on academics.

Pridemore stated, “We need to give

our local school boards more power to run their schools.” Pridemore intends to create a working group of educators, teachers, parents, curriculum administrators and students to assess Common Core State Standards and the impact they will have on local control of schools.

Because Pridemore is willing to listen to our concerns with CCSS and with potential loss of local control of schools, I see Pridemore as a major improvement over the current superintendent of public instruction.

Sondra Maanum Rice Lake

Spring election alert

My friends and I have studied the candidates and strongly support Tony Evers for state superintendent of schools and Ed Fallone for Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. In my opinion, this is another critical election before us, and their opponents are just plain dangerous to our democracy.

Early voting started Monday, March 18, and goes through close of business Friday, March 29. Since that is Good Friday, you’ll need to see if your clerk’s office is open.

Contact your city or town clerk regarding your opportunity to early (absentee) vote. Why take a chance that everything in your life will be going great and the weather will be wonderful on Election Day, April 2, when you can get ‘er done early?

For all voting questions, including polling locations, go to this Web site: gab.wi.gov/voters.

Susan Hansen Shell Lake

Supports Pridemore

On Tuesday, April 2, I will be voting for Don Pridemore for state superintendent of public instruction because he is willing to take a closer look at Common Core State Standards. Pridemore states, “This federally administered program has a far-reaching impact on a local school district’s ability to control the curriculum of their schools.” When teachers, administrators and school boards do not have adequate influence over academic and behavioral standards adopted by

their schools, education becomes a trade and not a profession. Teachers, school boards and parents should provide the major influence over the academic standards required by a school district.

Parents who want local control of schools will protect that freedom by voting for Don Pridemore for state superintendent of public instruction.

Tammy Olson Mikana

Fallone for justice job

So, can we talk about the elephant in the room?

A very important election is coming up on Tuesday, April 2, to elect a justice to the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a 10-year term.

Do we really need a justice that is deaf, mute and blind? I don’t think so.

So then let’s all vote for Fallone. The reason being, when Justice Prosser allegedly attempted to choke another justice, and also allegedly called the chief justice by the B word, the incumbent Justice Roggensack who was reportedly

in the room when these occurrences happened refuses to comment, saw nothing, heard nothing. Talk about “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.” We need a fair and impartial justice who can see, hear, speak, but more importantly, stand up to bullying that is happening in our currently dysfunctional state Supreme Court and has the best interest of the people of Wisconsin, not just the Koch machine.

New graduate programs at St. Scholastica DULUTH, Minn. – The College of St. Scholastica is offering three new graduate programs.

Online Healthcare MBA St. Scholastica’s new Online Healthcare MBA is designed for health-care professionals at all levels who serve rural communities, and recognize the need to manage the emerging changes in the health-care system.

As administrators rise from health-care professions such as medicine, nursing and physical and occupational therapy into leadership positions within business and management, they face new challenges. The Online Healthcare MBA provides skills in leadership, finance, marketing, human resources, managing change, information technology and other key areas.

Courses focus on practical skills and cases that can be transferred back to facilities, staff and patients. The approach emphasizes teamwork, critical thinking and communication, networking, and personal interactions with experienced faculty who are leaders in their professions. The faculty and staff provide national thought leadership, consulting services, education and technology solutions designed to prepare future health-care professionals and advance health-care practices for the growing demands of the nation’s rapidly changing health-care industry.

The program employs an advanced online learning environment. The interdisciplinary approach combines the strengths of the college’s School of Business and Technology and the School of Health Sciences. Students can complete the program in less than 2-1/2 years.

The first cohort starts Sept. 3.

Master of Social Work St. Scholastica’s new advanced practice Master of Social Work degree offers two tracks – one for students with a bachelor’s degree in social work and one for students with a bachelor’s degree in another program.

The curriculum emphasizes direct practice skills, including assessment and diagnosis, evidence-based intervention and treatment, group dynamics, and how social policy and social justice issues affect the practice of social work.

Classes meet once a week with additional coursework completed online.

The job market for master’s-prepared social workers is strong, and clinical social workers are in high demand. The federal government has designated Duluth,

the North Shore and much of greater Minnesota excluding the Twin Cities as health professional shortage areas, where the demand for mental health professionals greatly outweighs the number of practitioners, who may be eligible for federal loan forgiveness programs.

A regular-standing track, for students with bachelor’s degrees from fields other than social work, lasts two years. It includes one year of foundational course work built around core professional competencies followed by a second year in an advanced concentration.

The first cohort begins this fall.

An advanced-standing track, for students with a bachelor’s degree in social work, lasts one year. It includes an advanced concentration, focusing a student’s studies on a particular area of interest within the field.

The first cohort begins in summer 2014.

Master of Science in Project Management St. Scholastica’s Master of Science in project management is an accelerated online program that offers a deeper, richer curriculum than project management certificates available.

A project manager is responsible for initiating, planning and guiding a project from start to finish. Projects include a defined goal, are temporary in nature and result in change to the organization. Project managers lead cross-disciplinary teams and coordinate activities across business units, making sure all areas of a project are functioning well.

Designed for working adults, St. Scholastica’s program builds on the college’s experience in education about leadership, change management and technology.

The curriculum emphasizes ethical decision making, social responsibility, global awareness and professional excellence. The college’s program provides the organizational, technical and leadership skills necessary to bring large projects to completion.

Project managers have opportunities across a variety of industries. Worldwide, more than one million new positions are expected each year through 2016, with the average annual salary for an experienced project manager currently at $144,000. Project managers in their first three years of work can expect an average salary of $62,000.

The first cohort starts this summer. Students can complete the program in as little as two years.

A return to “Dallas”

I

t was in the May 31, 2006, Beyond the Office Door column that I confessed that I had been a faithful follower of the TV show “Dallas” that aired from 1978-1991.

2012 was the first season of the continuation saga of the Ewing family as the new “Dallas” hit the airwaves. The main characters in this version of “Dallas” are the children of the previous main characters.

I didn’t begin watching this series when it started. I may not have watched any episodes until I read in the Sunday, March 3, edition of the Parade Magazine that the next episode of “Dallas” would be about the death of one of the main characters from the original show, J.R. The character of the ruthless J.R. would meet his end because actor Larry Hagman, who played the part of J.R., died Nov. 23, 2012.

As I watched the new “Dallas” on March 4, I had a hard time keeping up with who the new characters are, along with what they are

scheming to do. After watching my first episode, I had to watch March 11 to see “J.R.’s Masterpiece”, which was the funeral for the character J.R. The reason I was interested in this particular episode was mainly to see the actors from 30 or so years ago returning to the show for this event.

I think I could possibly once again get caught up in the saga of “Dallas” if the original story line of Pam and Bobby is revived. I ask myself, “why?” Do I want to go back in time? Do I want to go back 35 years to recapture something I may have lost? Would I do things different than I did? Do I want to turn back the clock to recapture my youth?

As the summer of 1980 approached, the cliffhanger for “Dallas” was, Who shot J.R.? Now into its second season, this continuation story of “Dallas” also leaves the viewer with, Who shot J.R.? Only this time, J.R. won’t be returning … at least not with Larry Hagman playing the part.

by Kyle Smith BBHCS eighth-grader BIRCHWOOD — The Birchwood Blue Hills Charter School is a project-based learning school in Birchwood for students in seventh through 12th grade. At the beginning of the year, the students at the BBHCS started creating their personal learning plans. The BBHCS students created their PLPs using Google Sites. Google Sites is an application used to create Web sites.

On the home page of their sites they have a photo of themselves, some of their interests and a personal mission statement created using the Web site franklincovey. com/msb/, a mission statement generator. The PLPs are used by the students to document their academic progress, and set goals and career aspirations. Students track their own academic progress by adding their NWEA test scores, a credit report of all credits they have earned to date and some of their best projects and pieces of writing.

PLPs are also used for setting goals. This past month the students at the BBHCS created a poster using Adobe Illustrator outlining where they want to be two years after graduation. The students answered questions such as where will they be living, where will they be going to school or getting training, and what activities do they find inspirational? Setting goals is an extremely useful practice because it helps students and advisers create projects that move toward a student’s future education and career goals.

Jenny Landes, BBHCS adviser, says, “These individualized plans are meant to be referred to often as a tool for students to see how the many parts of their education work together, grow and change. They are also shared and discussed with parents at “Groupthink Sessions” — student-led parent/teacher conferences — throughout the year.” Personal learning plans are added to throughout a student’s entire academic career at the BBHCS. Other than helping guide academic decisions, PLPs are a valuable resource to share with college admissions counselors and potential employers.

The Birchwood District is set to hold open houses for the public to learn more about the BBHCS as well as the Birchwood Public Montessori for grades pre-K through sixth. The two open houses are scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26, and Thursday, April 18, at 201 East Birch Ave., Birchwood. At the open houses BBHCS students and staff will be available to field any questions regarding project-based learning and Montessori education.

Area writers corner Winter snows

by Mary B. Olsen Some old-timers like to tell anyone who will settle down and listen of the tremendous snowfall of years gone by. I remember snow higher than my head when I was a child, but I was, of course, shorter at the time.

I grew up in a small town in Illinois with six brothers and sisters and we always loved snow. My older brother saw snow as a way to earn money. He could shovel sidewalks and driveways for neighbors and show us proudly how much money he made. Actually, it was not dollars, but only change he could jingle in his pocket, but it was money earned in hard times.

Ours was a corner house, and on the front was Hwy. 6, sometimes a busy road. On the west was a block-long hill where almost all the kids in town enjoyed sliding with their sleds. Some of the older boys had big sleds and they would belly flop on them and hurtle down the

slippery hill and sometimes shoot out into the highway at the bottom. Most of the sledders were more careful and sat on their sleds and steered with their feet. We made snow forts and threw snowballs at each other, and many a time we would have our faces washed with snow. In spite of that, I always loved snow, looked forward with pleasure to it and enjoyed it.

In our house we had a furnace that required coal for fuel. There were registers that kept the kitchen, living room and three bedrooms and bathroom warm in winter. When the coal truck came, the basement window had to be opened and a ton of egg coal would tumble down the coal chute off the dump truck into the coal bin. We had a kitchen range you started with a couple of dry corncobs and then heated it up good with coal, from the coal pail beside the stove. We would all congregate in the kitchen as close to the stove as possible on cold winter mornings.

We would then walk to school, only about four blocks. I can’t remember any school closings due to snow. There were other things that kept us from school, like measles and mumps or other diseases. We played outdoors in the schoolyard but had indoor recess when it snowed heavily. The high school had school buses for the country kids. If you lived in town you walked. It was about 12 blocks for me. You could freeze your ears in zero-degree weather or your fingers without gloves.

In those early days, many people put their cars on blocks in their small garages for the winter. You didn’t have as heavy traffic on the highways, either. There were some snowstorms during the winter, and snowplows usually kept the roads clear.

We had a really heavy snowfall that took down power lines, I think it was the winter of 1948. It was not so much snow, but the ice formed on trees and the heavy branches gave way. Power crews were right out in the teeth of that storm. Workers came in from other areas and it wasn’t long before we had our power and telephones back in service.

I went to work for two years in a factory. We had a bus service so I could ride the bus to work every weekday morning. Then I got married and started a family.

The really big snowstorm occurred in 1959. We were living in a little town in a big house on a corner. We had four children at that time, and I was expecting another child. The snow came in early evening and by morning about 2 feet of snow had accumulated. My husband

had to drive 80 miles to work, and he and several others took turns driving. In midmorning I went outside, took the shovel and cleared off the sidewalks on two sides of our yard. It didn’t seem like a hard job, no pain, no strain.

The snow continued all day. My husband came home from work and after supper I got the kids settled in their beds early. Shortly after I lay down in bed something was happening, probably as a result of the snow shoveling, and I began to experience labor pains. I had one experience with false labor, but this seemed to be the real thing.

We hastily packed a suitcase, and called Grandpa to stay with the kids. With me bundled in a heavy coat in the car, we headed for the hospital, 11 miles away. The snow was building up but we made our way slowly and arrived at the hospital in about an hour. It was six weeks early. I thought it was another false labor. I was advised to stay at the hospital so my husband left me there and drove back home.

He called the following day and told me they closed the highway because of the snow. I was in slow labor all that day and the next. He was able to travel that road to the hospital on the third day and he was there when the baby was born. My little girl was born about noon on the third day. The doctor, holding up my baby so I could see her, announced, “This is a 5-pound baby. She will be fine.” My worries evaporated. She was a lively child with a lusty cry. If a child weighed less than 5 pounds they could not leave the hospital in those days.

She did weigh less than 5 pounds due to the usual weight loss after birth, but five days later, when we could take her home on clear, snowplowed roads, she had gained and she again weighed 5 pounds.

I came home to some surprises. Our little town kept a birthday calendar, which was a normal calendar with the birthdays of all the people in town listed, so the neighbors knew I was coming home with a new baby girl on my birthday. The neighbor across the street brought a beautiful birthday cake. Others brought little gifts for the baby. There was a lot of snow on the ground and it felt like Christmas, all over again. Grandparents came and we celebrated. I have many sweet memories of that special time.

BCS Kings place third at state hockey

SHEBOYGAN — The Barron-Chetek-CumberlandSpooner Kings came home the weekend of March 9-10 with the third-place trophy from the Bantam 3A State Hockey Championship in Sheboygan.

The first game of the championship was against the Waupun Warriors and turned out to be one of the most intense games of the Kings season. The Warriors led the game at the end of the first period by one, effectively shutting down the Kings offense. In the second period, the Kings scored by Alex Timm, assisted by Myles Erb, and Ryan Anderson, assisted by Brandon Jenness and Timm, followed quickly by a Warrior goal. Timm answered the call, with a pass from Michael Johnston and slamming the puck in the net. Kings Bryce Skinner inspired the entire team with a commanding check into the boards, slowing the Warriors momentum. The second period ended with the Warriors up by one.

The third period belonged to the Kings. Kings Johnston, assisted by Erb, slapped the puck in the goal. Moments later Kings Levi Neubich made a solid pass to Logan Zebro, who cleanly fought his way through the Warriors line to score on Waupun. The third-period scoring continued for the Kings when Jenness received the puck from Johnston and quickly finessed the puck into the net. Kings goalie Dakotah Buechner stopped six of seven shots in the third period. Leading by just one goal, Kings forward Timm secured the win with his third goal of the game putting the Kings up by two, 7-5. A very hard-fought win put the Kings into the semifinal game.

The Kings next played the West Salem Wild. In the first period, the Kings Jenness received a pass from Timm and popped the puck into the net. Goalie Brett Knowlton saw fierce action at the net, but stopped all 12 shots of the Wild in the first period.

In the second period, the Warriors scored quickly, evening the score. Knowlton was peppered in the crease by the Wild’s shooters, stopping 17 of 21 shots.

West Salem’s defense stopped the scoring ability of the Kings, and goalie Scott Lindenberger entered the game.

Lindenberger stopped 17 of 21 shots also, but the Kings fell to the West Salem Wild, 8-1. The Wild would go on to claim second place in the championship game.

On Sunday morning, March 10, the Kings skated onto the rink with purpose in their third and final game against the Baraboo T-Birds. The Kings were determined to bring home the third-place trophy. With almost 100 Kings fans screaming and chanting, the Kings didn’t disappoint. BCS Timm scored first in the game, assisted by Anderson and Jenness. Baraboo quickly answered with a goal. BCS goalie Lindenberger made a stand, stopping all but one shot in the second period.

Excellent defensive play by Neubich, Johnston, Zebro

and Hunter Flor, held the T-Birds to just two goals at the end of the second period, but the T-Birds were still ahead by one.

Showing great determination and persistence, the Kings plastered the T-Birds goalie with shots, but their goalie was up for the challenge until Jase Scalzo won a battle in the crease to score for the Kings, cutting the lead. Moments later, Timm slammed the puck in the corner of the net and the Kings were down by one.

With time running down, coaches Timm and Freeman called a time-out and sent the team back to the ice with a battle plan. The Warriors continued with their great play but were denied by Kings goalie Lindenberger.

With the pressure on and the Kings needing to at least tie the game, Jenness slid the puck to Anderson who buried the puck into the back of the net, tying the game with less than two minutes to play.

Both teams were content to finish the game in regulation time, tied, to earn the third-place trophy in

overtime. The overtime period was a display by the Kings of how they got to the championship in the first place, showing great teamwork, drive and determination. Within mere seconds of the faceoff, Kings Timm passed the puck to Johnston. Johnston made a perfect pass back to Timm who fought through two T-Birds defensive men and made a great pass to Jenness, who raced to the goal, slamming the puck into the net for the final goal and win, 5-4.

The team is grateful to fans for their support. “It was fantastic having so many people cheering on this group of young men who represented their communities and team with pride, respect and good sportsmanship,” was commented.

In just a little over six months, the hockey season will start. If your child is interested in playing hockey, please visit one of these sites: bcyha.org, spoonerhockey.com, cumberlandhockey.com or spoonericehouse.com.

Barronett by Judy Pieper The alumni hockey tournament was held at the Cumberland hockey arena Saturday, March 16. I didn’t get the names of all the players, but the teams were the Pucks, the Skates, the Sticks and the Oldies. All the teams tried their best, and they were very entertaining, but the Pucks beat them all to come out as champs. A few of the guys even pretended to get into little shoving matches, but the smiles on their faces gave them away. They were having a lot of fun out there.

I had a bit of a dilemma at the games. Tinille and Miriah Lehmann were playing on the Sticks team, and Alyse Lehmann was playing on the Skates team. I asked Alyse which team I should cheer for, and she told me that I should probably cheer for her team because I would have her little daughter, Tru, with me. However, when I asked Miriah which team I should cheer for, she said that I should cheer for the team with the most grandchildren on it.

Oh my! Well, I just cheered for whichever team was controlling the puck at the time, and the Skates (Alyse’s team) won.

It was pretty surprising, the skaters all

looked pretty good on the ice. I would think that once they got out of school and were not playing every week, they wouldn’t be able to last for an entire game.

And, all of the teams played two games. I wonder how many days it takes before the muscles stop aching.

Barb Pease had a wonderful surprise on Friday evening. AJ, Jessica and Steven Kangas came back from Selfridge, N.D., to visit her for the weekend and spend her birthday, which was the 17th, with her.

Barb’s mom, Gloria Gunderson, knew the kids were coming and was there to see how surprised and happy Barb was when they arrived. Steven was thrilled to find out that the alumni hockey tournament was the same weekend, because he, and the rest of his family, had a chance to see his Uncle Chris Pease play with the Sticks. The fact that the Sticks lost both games didn’t matter at all. He still got to see Chris play.

Debbie and Anitia Lehmann traveled to a little more serious hockey tournament this past weekend. They were among the many who attended the Wisconsin State Hockey tournament in Merrill. Anitia’s

Heart Lake news by Helen V. Pederson I guess we are in for some more snow. It sounds like quite a lot so that will brighten up the old snow. April isn’t too far behind.

Happy birthday to Ruth Swan who had a birthday cake for all of us on Thursday.

Her family took her to Bistro on Thursday night to celebrate her big day.

Ruth McConkie celebrated her birthday on Saturday, although her birthday was March 8. She had been suffering from a bad cold on her birthday, but has recovered nicely. Birthday blessings Ruth.

Saturday was the funeral for Glen Nordin, 92, who passed away at Terraceview Living Center. His wife, Avis, is still a resident there. Our prayers for the family. Services were held at the Methodist church.

A memorial get-together for Bill Rylander, 88, who passed away at Terraceview Living Center was held at Skinner Funeral Home on Saturday. Sympathy to the family.

I hear Hugh Peterson, 71, also died last week. He was the son of Gladys and Helmer Peterson, both deceased. He grew up in the Heart Lake area and went to school in Shell Lake. His wife passed away many years ago. Ben and Johanna are their children. Funeral services are pending.

Sympathy to the family.

Last Friday, Kim Odden took his mom, Jean, and me to Eau Claire to visit my brother, Abner, at Sacred Heart Hospital

where he is having therapy after a light stroke. He is doing well.

Last Thursday evening, Jeff Pederson brought his granddaughter, Elizabeth, and grandsons, Daniel and Joshua, in to visit Grandma Helen Pederson.

Linda King and son Zak of Bentenville, Ark., came up on Friday to visit her dad, Peder Pederson, and other relatives. On Saturday night, Peder and friend Kathy, the Kings, Cheri and Steve Minot with their family, Eric, Michelle and Tanya, Curt and Martha Pederson and Daniel all went to Drag’s Pizza in Rice Lake for pizza. Linda and Zak will return home on Tuesday.

Peder Pederson was a dinner guest at Cheri and Steve Minot’s along with family on Sunday.

Last Friday, John and Brady Marshall went with Ryan Furchtenicht to Eau Claire to the Farrell Equipment Company.

Brady Marshall celebrated his birthday on Wednesday and joined his family at Bona Casa. Birthday blessings Brady.

Wendell Turpin of Whiting, Ind., who is visiting up here, went with Jeff Pederson and Jason Penning snowmobiling on Sunday and watched Wisconsin get beat

Congratulations to the team and to their coaches, Shane Lehmann and Corey Anderson, on a great finish to the season.

Debbie and Anitia stopped in Eau Claire on the way home and had dinner with Chad Lehmann and Jamie Hoffman. Anitia said that it had been a quite a while since she had been able to visit with Chad and Jamie, and that they had a very nice time chatting and eating dinner, I know I told you about this last week, but I just want to remind you that there will be an Easter party for children, 10 and under, at the Barronett Community Center this Saturday, March 23, from 2-4 p.m.

There will be games, prizes, food and fun for everyone. The Easter egg hunt will start at 3:30 p.m. Once again this year, there will be two bikes given away to a couple of lucky children. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Bring the kids to Barronett for a fun-filled afternoon.

Another reminder: Lillian Ullom’s 90th birthday party will be at Salem Lutheran Church in Shell Lake from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, March 23. Hope you can stop by and wish Lillian a happy birthday.

Peg Thompson announced that there will be a Lenten fair for kids of all ages in the church basement immediately after Palm Sunday worship service this Sunday, March 24. There will be craft tables set up and refreshments will be served. All children are welcome, so bring your little ones and join in the fun, Lent is such a busy season. We have one more Wednesday evening Lenten service, which starts at 7 p.m. at Barronett

Lutheran. Of course there is a supper before that, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Then, of course, we have Palm Sunday, the Lenten Fair, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday services coming up. If you are looking for a church, we hope you can join us for some, or all, of the events coming up.

Oh, you still have one more week to bring in donations for the package we are planning to send to Afghanistan. Just contact any member of Barronett Lutheran for more information.

My granddaughter, Savanna Marsh, is going to prom. Hard to believe that she is 16 years old already and old enough for those things. She sent me a picture of herself in the dress that she will be wearing, and she looks drop-dead gorgeous. Look out world, here she comes.

Terry Goodrich called me with something I hadn’t heard about when the cardinals gathered to select a new pope. He said that Cardinal Anthony Secola was one of the men being considered. Secola was a very worthy candidate, had been a faithful leader his entire adult life, had not even a hint of wrongdoing connected to him, just about the perfect candidate. Well, we all know that he wasn’t selected, and, according to Terry, he was pretty disheartened about it. When he asked the cardinals why he wasn’t selected, they were a little hesitant to tell him at first. But he insisted, and they told him that, when they had to introduce him to the public for the first time, they didn’t want to have to introduce him as Pope Secola. Groan! Blame Terry.

That’s about it from Barronett this week.

Hope to see you at some of the upcoming events. Have a wonderful week.

A

biology professor kept a rattlesnake caged in his laboratory. Whenever he fed it in front of his class, the students watched carefully and silently. One day he said, “I find it interesting that my snake gets more attention than I do.”

“You would get more attention,” said a freshman, “if you swallowed a mouse.” If we read Psalm 23:1, we realize that we do not have to swallow a mouse to get God’s attention.

The Psalmist boldly declared, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”

When we ask the Lord to become our shepherd, our personal savior, we enter into a personal relationship with him and life changes. It is like the small child, who, when quoting this verse said, “The Lord is my shepherd I have all that I need.” The Great Shepherd has given us his word that he will give us all that we need - beginning with his attention to the details of our life. As we place ourselves under his care, we have his word that his “goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives” and someday we will dwell in his house forever.

Soon these five buildings will be joined by at least two more, making it quite an impressive operation, stretching for a half a block.

“Our main problem,” says Ripley, “is room. We have so many boxes coming in after someone dies, and they are often full of bits and pieces of local history and the history of individual’s lives. Just the other day we opened a box and found a map of Shanghai, China, dated 1937.”

vast inventory sorted and listed. They would also like to have more schools bring their classes for a visit. “We’re willing to open the buildings, especially the school, to accommodate the students,” says Ripley. “Even though we open the end of May and close the end of August, we’d be happy to open for special tours, that is until winter comes and we’re snowed in.”

The society also has a few projects up their sleeves that would more fully involve students. “I’d like to see the history and English teachers of all four

schools in the county encourage their students to interview a county resident who is old and write down all the rich history they have behind them. It could relate to the town or to their own family. We would compile all the interviews and put them into book form in order to have, in writing, the valuable stories and accounts of people before they die and take it all with them.”

Ripley admits that he’s hooked on history and has been all of his life. History has become very personal for him in that he has a copy of a letter written in 1835

by Henry D. Ripley to his father, Gen. Eleazer Ripley. Come to find out, they are distant cousins.

Soon the little house at 110 Second Ave. will be part of this complex that is one of the most interesting places you can go in Washburn County that’s completely free of charge. This complex is also where that delightful July pie and ice-cream social is held each year, along with the wildly popular Chocolate Festival that’s held during Town and Country Days.

“Inch by inch, everything’s a cinch” is one of Ripley’s favorite sayings, and from the looks of it, it could also be the motto for the society who are working their way down the block with only a few houses left they don’t own.

The Washburn County Historical Society Complex is open from May 31 until Aug. 31, and you can find volunteers there on both Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The research room is open each Thursday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

There will be lots of projects this year and the need for volunteers is critical.

If you’re interested in helping out for a while, call Ripley at 715-635-9502.

buying it. We closed on the property Friday, March 15.”

Now that the historical society has secured the loan, and paid for the 50-foot lot, strategic planning will follow at the next board meeting. The society wants to accomplish their goal of having more storage. They also want to create a new display spot for the six boats they own, all made by the famous Shell Lake Boat Company.

“It’s amazing how popular these quality boats still are,” Ripley said. “We have calls each year from all over the U.S. about the boats, and several of their owners have brought their refurbished watercrafts back to the Shell Lake in order to put it in the water and enjoy the nostalgia.”

The structure the society is planning to build will be a 24’x24’ garage-type structure that will sit behind the recently purchased house bordering the alley. There are no definite plans for the house yet because they already own and use the house that was the original parsonage next door to the old German Lutheran Church. The church was originally purchased from the Full Gospel Church which held services there for 20 years until they built their current facility in 1979. The society purchased the old Beaver Brook School and had it moved to its current location behind the church. This is the school where Shell Lake benefactress Marge Reinhart taught school.

The church was purchased by the Shell Lake State Bank and then deeded to the county. The old parsonage was bought by the society and the building that houses the genealogic society behind the parsonage, the one that has space for

Dewey Country

by Pauline Lawrence

It was a nippy day as I wrote this. Yes, with the winds blowing it made a person walk a little faster. Oh well, it’s March so spring can’t be far behind.

It’s a very happy birthday to my little granddaughter, Rylee Ladd, who turns 9 years old already on March 21.

Have a great day, Rylee.

March 22, it’s a happy birthday to Homer Melton as he enjoys his special day with lots more to come.

Happy birthday to my brother-in-law, Warren Quam, on March 23, and also to Rana Cooper. Hope you both have a great day.

March 24, it’s birthday wishes to Jim Mogenson as he enjoys his special day with lots more to come.

Happy birthday to Lynette LaVeau on March 24 with many more.

Birthday wishes go out to Laurel Stellrecht, to Kim Crosby, and Kim Hotchkiss, all on March 26. Have a wonderful day.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Lorraine Crosby on her special day, March 27. Have a wonderful day Lorraine.

I see Lundeens are busy now. Yes, they were hauling those good nutrients over by us this past week. It’s great they got it done as of March 18 road bans go on in Dewey Country and that means no hauling until the road bans are off.

Had a nice chat with Shirley Stellrecht and she was telling me she has fresh cucumbers to eat. She says she didn’t use any fertilizer and the cukes are about 1-1/2 inches long and great to eat right off the vine. I believe Shirley grew sweet corn last year. She told me she is going to enjoy her corned beef and cabbage, too. Good for you, Shirley!

Sarona

Last Wednesday found Vicki Trott, Peggy Vesta and Robin Melton heading to Branson, Mo. They went to see Vicki’s daughter, Teresa, who lives in Tennessee. The girls had a great time and were expected back on Monday. What a great thing to do, especially after a long, cold winter.

The Dewey Town Board met March 12, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. Phil Lindeman was at the meeting and told us about the towers we’re to have in place by Jan. 1, 2014. He tell us they have decided to have the towers in the main building in the basement of the Burnett County Government Center and have a small tower. Chairman Mark Knoop told us he had received a call regarding the Timber Ridge Steak House. He says for now they can serve wine and beer but not liquor. Woody reported that some roads remain slick and to take a little extra time. He also told the board he needed a brush saw so the board granted that. They run about $590. Our clerk, Pam Brown, requested that the posting for the Dewey Town Board would be posted on Swiss Chalet Road and Spring Lake Road, which was granted. John Biver was at the meeting and wanted to set up the meeting for Board of Review, which will be June 1. Open Book will be May 16 from 5-7 p.m. The annual meeting for the Town of Dewey will be April 16, with the annual meeting first and the monthly meeting held after. Road inspection will be held after the April 16 meeting. Everyone welcome.

Talking with Jim Toll, he tells us his wife, Marilyn, back surgery March 12 in the Twin Cities. At this time she is experiencing a lot of pain. She has been moved to a recovery center and hope things get better soon. David Toll spent the weekend with his pa, Jim. Running for chairman of Dewey Town Board will be

Mark Knoop. He runs unopposed. Running for members will be Phil Scheu, who has been on the board for the past four years. Phil was a dairy farmer until this past winter when the accident he had a number of years ago came back to haunt him. He has sold his cows and continues to do crops. He is now into carpentry. He has a wife, Bonnie, and four children. The reason he is running for the board is to make a difference in Dewey Country. Kyle Vanderhoof is also running for the board. He is 24 and lives in his great-grandparents’ house, the August and Muriel Knoop home. Asking Kyle why he wanted to be on the board, he says we need more young people on the board and feels he has a lot to add. Kyle is getting married Sept. 21 to Jenna and works at Baribeau in St. Croix Falls. Duane Johnson is the third candidate. He farms in Dewey Country. He has bought his folks farm, the Melvin and Ann Johnson farm, and also the John and Joyce Anderson farm where he lives. He has two children who love to come in the summer. Treasurer is Bill Holden, unopposed. The clerk’s position runs unopposed and Pam Brown will be running. Hope to see everyone at the election on April 2.

Loretta VanSelus went to Clayton to the band and choir festival. Judges were rating the bands and choirs. Matt Stone came out and got his mom, Loretta, also. Matt’s two daughters were in the band and choir. Loretta said it was very good. She also attended the soup and sandwich and Bingo held at the Shell Lake High School and enjoyed it.

Talking with Bernard Redding he says things are about the same with his wife, Sandy.

Think spring!

Scatter sunshine. Have a great week.

by Marian Furchtenicht

There is quite a bit of snow cover on the ground and more coming down as I write. The calendar says spring begins on Thursday so we must try enjoying the beautiful white stuff, ‘cause it won’t be with us long.

There was a good turnout for Hunt Hill’s winter soup luncheon on Tuesday, March 12, with an interesting talk on spring arrivals of plants, birds and animals led by Storme Nelson.

The Cheska Opera Untalented Show on Friday night was great, some empty seats because of the forecast. The roads weren’t so great driving home, saw one car in the ditch. Our own Donna Ness and Mary Krugar had parts in the program. Lots of great entertainment and cheap.

Jaydon Johnson, Sarona, and his great-uncle Don Shoquist, my brother, took in the Pinewood Derby at Camp Phillips on Saturday. Report a lot of competition with Scouts attending from all around.

Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman went to Hudson on Saturday to attend the 10-year-anniversary celebration of Jeff and Rosa Magnes. They also stopped and visited friends Michelle and Josh Alters and boys while in Hudson. Marilyn and Janet Zimmerman, Doree Magnes, Elfreda West and I had taken in the Cheska Opera Show on Friday night.

A surprise 70th birthday party for Denny Boland was held at the Getaway Bar and Grill on March 9. Some of his friends attending were Roger and Noni Markman and Keith Garetson from Renwick, Iowa, and Steve and Sue Carlson from Janesville. Out-of-town guests included

Shell Lake actor portrays Apostle Peter

by Wayne Anderson Special to the Register GRANTSBURG “- I can’t get that rooster crowing out of my head!” exclaimed Peter. The Bible says after he denied Christ three times, a rooster crowed. And it forever reminded Peter of what he did - and failed to do.

This dramatic portrayal by actor Jim LaGarde was presented at New Hope Lutheran Church last Wednesday, March 13, during the fifth Lenten service. LaGarde is part of the troupe of Christian actors from the Shell Lake Full Gospel Church.

The Apostle Peter was born in the small village of Bethsaida near Galilee. He was a fisherman by trade, along with his brother Andrew. Both went on to follow Jesus and become “fishers of men.”

Church history tells us he was born “Simon” in 1 A.D. to parents Jonah and Febronia. He was later married and Jesus healed his mother-in-law in his home at Capernaum. There is no record of any children.

He walked with the Lord for over three years and was the first disciple to recognize that Jesus was the promised “Messiah, the son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16) After Peter’s declaration, Jesus said on this “rock” he would build his church. The Catholic Church holds that Peter is the first 0ope (father). There have been 266 pontificates, the present being Pope Francis I elected last Wednesday, March 13.

Although Peter denied knowing Christ, once for-

given he went on to boldly proclaim the gospel for the rest of his life. He was a leader in the early Christian church and is credited with writing, all or in part, the letters 1 Peter and 2 Peter and the Gospel of Mark in the Bible. He founded and served churches around the Mediterranean.

For this gospel work, he was found guilty in Rome by crazed Emperor Nero, who is infamously known as the emperor who fiddled while Rome burned.

Sentenced to death by crucifixion, Peter asked to be crucified upside down. He said he felt unworthy to be crucified in the same position as his Savior.

He died circa 67 A.D. and is buried at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

New Hope will hold one more Lenten portrayal of Bible moments and characters: Bartholomew the disciple, March 20, with church member/actor Kobi Phillipps playing the part.

For more information on these Bible dramatizations, call New Hope at 715-463-5700.

Mixed news for alternative newspapers

by Maureen McCollum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - The alternative weekly paper Boston Phoenix’s closing last week after 47 years is a reminder of tough times in print media. In Wisconsin, alternative media representatives say the health of the free, independent papers varies by city.

Alternative papers, like the Shepherd Express in Milwaukee and the Wausau City Pages, can be the go-to guides for local policies and arts coverage.

The publisher and editorial director of Isthmus in Madison, Vince O’Hern, says it has been a rough five years for all print.

More people turn to the Internet for classified ads, a major income source for newspapers. O’Hern says the dedicated readership and strong content attract advertisers, which keeps
