by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – The 2010-11 Shell Lake School District mill rate was changed to $10.88, and the levy set at $4.4 million, at a school board meeting Monday, Oct. 18. The school board held its annual meeting at the end of September, where the 2010-11 budget and levy limit were approved. At that time, the mill rate was $10.96. However, at that meeting, the board stressed that the numbers would not be official until October. The mill rate is the tax per dollar of assessed property value. Monday night, when discussion of the budget came up, President Stuart Olson said that they now have all numbers back from the state, and there were some changes, so the board needed to decide where to place the mill rate. Superintendent Brian Nord said he ran

WASHBURN COUNTY - Incumbent Sheriff Terry Dryden faces challenger Paul Johnson in the Nov. 2 general election for the position of Washburn County sheriff. Dryden prevailed in the Republican primary in September to earn a spot on the ballot and Johnson was unopposed in the Democratic primary. The winner will serve a four-year term as sheriff. Reporter Gregg Westigard sat down with both candidates this past week and filed the following profiles:

by Regan Kohler BIRCHWOOD – An off-duty Washburn County Sheriff’s Department deputy was astounded when he came across an animal not often seen in northern Wisconsin – an alligator. Brian Jilek said that on Friday, Oct. 8, he was out for a walk with two of his grandchildren and dogs on his parents property in Birchwood, near Sucker Creek. As they were coming back across the hay field, his dogs noticed something along the edge of the field. “The young dog acted really weird,” Jilek said. As he got closer, Jilek saw something dark, and at first glance thought it might be a snapping turtle. However, it turned out to be a 3-foot, 10-inch alligator. Jilek said his first thought was, “Holy cow!” Jilek ended up having to shoot the alligator, as the young children and dogs

there was a possibility of it getting into the creek. “It’s a safety issue,” he said. His grandchildren ran inside to say, “Grandpa shot an alligator!” Jilek said the alligator most likely was someone’s pet, and the owner possibly released it because it got too big. Jilek said the alligator was still moving after it was shot, so he had to tie its mouth shut. The Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist later contacted Jilek, as they wanted to know if there might be more in the area.

Duffy, Lassa seek 7th Congressional District seat

by Regan Kohler WASHBURN COUNTY – Republican Sean Duffy, Democrat Julie Lassa and Independent Gary Kauther are running for the 7th Congressional District seat in the Tuesday, Nov. 2, general election. Kauther’s profile will run in next week’s Register. Duffy defeated candidate Dan Mielke on the Republican ballot in the September primary, while Lassa defeated Democrat candidate Don Raihala. Duffy, Kauther and Lassa are seeking to fill the seat vacated by longtime Congressman Dave Obey. The 7th Congressional District, House of Representatives, serves multiple counties in northwestern Wisconsin – Washburn, Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Chippewa, Douglas, Iron, Lincoln, Marathon, Polk, Portage, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor, Wood and parts of Clark, Langlade and Oneida counties. The candidates were asked about their backgrounds (including family, education, past and present career experience and government work), why they chose to run for office, what issues are most important to them, and to their branch, at this time, what strategies they would im-

Bail posted in homicide case

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – A $100,000 cash bail was posted for the Sarona man charged with first-degree intentional homicide, and he was released into house arrest Monday, Oct. 18. Jess R. Carsello, 48, has been charged with the murder of Michael T. Elliott, 31, Sarona. According to the criminal complaint, both men were hanging out at a Ripley Spur Road residence Sunday, July 25, when an argument culminated in the alleged shooting and killing of Elliott by Carsello. According to reports, Carsello called 911 and said he’d shot Elliott in self-defense. Carsello was arrested and later charged with first-degree intentional homicide. The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office concluded that Elliott died from multiple gunshot wounds in the back. Carsello has entered a not-guilty plea to the charge. Carsello’s bail was originally set at $1

million, but it was modified to $100,000 cash, and a condition he be placed on house arrest if posted, by Barron County Circuit Judge James Babbitt on Sept. 2. The bail was deposited Monday, Oct. 4, and Carsello was released into custody of his parents in Weston on Monday. The restrictions are that the residence must be alcohol- and firearm-free at all times for the duration, that he only leave for advance-approved medical appointments, attorney visits or court appearances, no controlled substances unless prescribed by a licensed doctor, no contact with the Elliott family except through an attorney, that he wear a Global Positioning System monitor and is subject to random testing, and that he surrender his passport to the clerk of courts. Carsello’s case had been set for a motion hearing Thursday, Oct. 28, but it was canceled. There is no other court date set as of this time.

issue facing America is the economic nuclear bomb we have given to China thanks to Washington’s inability to rein in spending. Our reliance on China to fund projects we can’t afford comes with serious national security im-

plications. “Too much uncertainty also exists in the marketplace. Talk of more bailouts, and new health care and cap and trade regulations, keeps uncertainty looming. To reduce uncertainty, we must ensure taxes don’t increase on Jan. 1, and create a simpler, smarter, fairer tax system. We have the best workforce in the world, yet our tax code is the second highest of any advanced industrial nation. By reducing the tax code we can better compete, as well as incentivize – not penalize – companies to keep jobs here. We should oppose taxing overseas products of U.S. companies and protect small businesses by requiring a detailed cost-benefit analysis of any regulation before implementation, and eliminate the 1099 requirement. Finally, we must export Wisconsin-made products, not Wisconsin jobs, because I know Wisconsinites want paychecks, not unemployment checks. By doing this, confidence can be restored and businesses – the true job creators – will feel confident in their investments. “We do need to get spending under control. My six-step plan for restoring fiscal responsibility in government is available on my Web site. To start, I would end all bailouts, cancel unspent stimulus funds and not allow for any Temporary Asset Relief Program reauthorizations. Since 2008, we’ve seen an 84 percent increase in non-defense/security discretionary spending – I would freeze this spending at 2008 levels and only hire one person for every two people retiring from the federal government who don’t work in defense or security – saving hundreds of billions of dollars. I also believe the government should pass a budget every year to better control spending. If families and businesses stay on budget, the government should too. Growing up in Wisconsin, I offer a commonsense approach to problem solving. Electing more people from Madison isn’t the leadership we need – look where that spending got us. We need new leaders for a new direction. “Wisconsin is my home. I grew up here and my wife, Rachel, and I are raising our six children here. I offer real solutions to restore fiscal sanity, gain control over our debt, bring jobs back to Wisconsin and put money back into the pockets of our hardworking people and job creators. “I entered this race after the nearly trillion-dollar stimulus bill passed. As a father of six children, it bothered me that Washington government leaders were spending millions, billions and trillions of dollars, and leaving the bill to our children. Our country already has a $13.3 trillion debt – we can’t keep spending and expecting future generations to pay for it. “I am ready to be a fresh voice for the people of the 7th District and bring a new direction to Washington. I wasn’t handpicked to run for this seat, like my opponent; I ran because I saw a problem and wanted to be a part of the solution. I have a unique perspective on understanding and upholding laws as district attorney, and I offer a commonsense approach to problem solving.”

Two daughters, Taylor (6) and Madison (3) “I grew up on my parents small dairy farm in Portage County where I learned early the Wisconsin values I share with working families in the district - how to work hard and make a dollar stretch values I am running to fight for in Washington. “I have called on Washington to take its cue from Wisconsin middle-class families. Just like families across northern and central Wisconsin, Washington should be tightening its belt and sticking to a budget. That’s why out of the starting gate in my campaign, I’ve called on Washington to take a 10-percent pay cut until Wisconsinites were back at work and refuse pay raises until we have a balanced budget. I and my family are currently giving back a portion of my salary to taxpayers. “I was also the first candidate in the race to propose a comprehensive jobs plan and have been traveling across the district meeting with voters as part of my Shake Up Washington, Grow Wisconsin jobs tour. I believe Washington needs to adopt a commonsense pro-worker probusiness strategy to create jobs and should start by ending failed policies that ship jobs overseas. I have called for ending tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs. By getting tough on China and reforming failed trade deals like NAFTA, I believe we can level the playing field to ensure that Wisconsin workers and small businesses—the best in the world—can compete fairly in global markets. I will fight for good-paying Wisconsin jobs to build a strong middle class by giving tax breaks to the true engines of economic growth—Main Street small businesses and working families. “I am also deeply committed to keeping Social Security and Medicare strong for our seniors and our families. I earned the endorsement of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare because of my leadership and vision in supporting seniors and in protecting Social Security from being privatized. “Wisconsin has seen more than 52,000 jobs go to China because of our nation's trade deficit. My opponent supports giving tax breaks for corporations and special interests – the same eight groups that are spending more than $1.2 million in attacks to get him elected. “I have called on my opponent to join me in supporting the DISCLOSE Act, which would hold corporations and outside groups accountable in campaign spending.”

Subway cards are back

SHELL LAKE — After a brief hiatus the Subway discount cards previously sold by the football team are back. If you like Subway these cards can save you lots of cash, and support Shell Lake education as well. The Shell Lake Educational Foundation has taken over distributing these cards so the community will continue to have access to them. The cards are good at several regional Subways until March and pay for themselves after just a couple uses. They are especially valuable to parents traveling to away games looking for a quick place to eat on the way back. Plus with the holiday season approaching they make great stocking stuffers and add-on gifts as well. You can purchase your card by contacting SLEF President Tam Smith at 715-6450995, Vice President Dan Brereton at 715416-1504, or any SLEF board member. Also they will be selling them at upcoming community events including Holiday Saturday, just look for their booth. — from SLEF

Milroy, who was elected to the Assembly in 2008, is running on the Democratic ballot, while Baker is on the Republican ballot. The 73rd District is made up of the majority of Washburn, parts of Burnett and all of Douglas counties.

Nick Milroy

Bonnie Baker I am married with three children and have lived in Wisconsin the past 15 years. I have served as a board member on the Superior School Board since November 2008. I am a retired speech/language pathologist, having taught 35 years in Superior Schools. • Education: Master of Arts degree in communicative disorders from University of Minnesota-Duluth; Bachelor of Arts degree in speech pathology and audiology from UMD. Current member of the Superior School Board; president of Friends of the Superior Public Library;

member of Superior Area Retired Educators Association; Superior Optimist Club; vice chair of Port Cities Volunteer Woman of the Year 2009-10; PTA member; Mensa member; National Rifle Association member. Reason for candidacy: I am concerned about the economic health of our great state. Last year the private sector lost 163,000 jobs; I am concerned about our legislators spending more money than we receive; and we have a ballooning budget deficit which ended at $2.5 billion. I can help change these conditions. Top issues facing the state: The loss of jobs throughout Wisconsin is troubling. We can grow jobs by establishing a business-friendly climate. We need fewer government regulations, lower taxes and fewer fees. In 2009, Forbes ranked Wisconsin as the third-worst state in which to do business; that needs to change. Strategies to control costs: Wisconsin residents paid $2.4 billion more in state and local taxes than the national average in 2000. Put another way, our state-local tax load claimed 12.9 percent of personal

Debates to be held at UW-BC Rivard are running for the seat that is being left vacant by Mary Hubler. After serving in the Legislature since 1985, Hubler announced earlier this year that she would not be running for another term. The second debate will feature candidates running for Wisconsin’s 25th State Senate District. Incumbent Democrat Bob Jauch and Republican challenger Dane Deutsch will meet in the Blue Hills Lecture Hall on Thursday, Oct. 28, at 12:30 p.m.

The format for both debates will be the same. Each candidate will be allowed to give an opening statement of up to two minutes in length. The moderator will then ask the candidates several questions he developed and which were not disclosed to the candidates before the debate. Thereafter, the moderator will ask questions submitted by audience members. The debate will conclude with each candidate giving a closing statement of up to two minutes in length. The order of speakers will be de-

income, fourth highest in the country. The Badger State has been among the five most-taxed states in every year since 1991. There is an arrogance that exists in Madison right now – they talk about our money as if it’s theirs. If families and employers are allowed to keep more of what they earn, it will boost employment and consumer spending, which will in turn grow us out of this recession. Every (Gov. Jim) Doyle budget has resulted in a future deficit, and every election cycle brings promises to balance the budget. Instead, the Democrat-controlled Legislature has been shifting money around and filling in deficit holes with one-time federal stimulus dollars, leaving us in a bigger hole. When you’re in a hole, you stop digging – it’s a simple concept that families and small businesses happen to live with every day. Turning off the spigot now will prevent future budget deficits.

75th Assembly/from page 3 economic future of our area. We need to make sure that all of our decisions are part of a much larger solution and direction for our area and our state. I was fortunate to get a good start on life while I was growing up in Barron. Today’s seniors are a large part of my success. I want to protect our seniors for the sacrifices they made for my generation. Their well-being and the future of my children and children in our community will be very important in every decision I make. Jobs and the economy need to be priority number one for the next legislative session. The decisions we make, however, must be part of a much broader long-term strategy for growth. The discussion should center on where we want to go – not just for today but five and 10 years down the road. Decisions should be made with our goals in mind. It will not work if we are only reactionary – we must be proactive in our approach. Education needs to be a part of this strategy. We will also need to develop more public and private partnerships with business and work in a bipartisan fashion to accomplish this goal. A new generation of leaders will be needed to bring these new ideas to the forefront. Difficult cuts are required to balance the budget and protect our priorities. When balancing our family budget, we don’t ask our children to eat less food. My wife and I tighten our belts. Government can do the same by identifying priorities and cutting waste. We need a budgeting system that does not punish departments for saving money, and we need a vision that ties all spending to a broader set of goals. One of the most important things we will need to do is work across the aisle in a bipartisan fashion. If there is a good idea, I

will support it no matter if the idea came from a Democrat, Republican or Independent. As a teacher I was always happy to learn from others to improve myself and my profession. I plan to listen, use strong leadership and a working knowledge of our political system to benefit our region – not to make myself look good or play party politics. To put us on the right track for the future, it will take a collective effort from all parties. The public is ready for a new generation of leaders who understand that we are all in this together.

Letters to the editor Mailbox maintenance

Yes, the leaves are gone, and it’s beginning to look like winter is finally on its way. As we all do our fall chores, please remember your mailbox. Your carrier does their best to provide you with the best service possible, so we are asking for your help. Please make sure that you mailbox is in good repair, the door closes or even make sure it has a door. We ask that your mailbox be 45 inches from the ground to the bottom of your box. This helps to ensure that the plow blade can clear your box. In addition, please keep the snow removed before and after your box to ensure the carrier can safely approach and

exit after delivery of your mail. The mailbox should be even with the edge of the road, so this may involve putting it on a swing away or on an extended ledge. Every little bit can make a difference in a carrier’s day. Remember that your help makes it possible for the carrier to provide timely and good service to everyone on his or her route. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 715-468-2111. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Chris Olson, postmaster Shell Lake

the new numbers and thought there would be a decrease. “We actually increased,” he said, which sends the mill rate down. Nord said there is about $97,000 more now than in the July estimate and at the annual meeting, which he attributed to enrollment increasing. He said the board had the option of bringing the mill rate down to $10.88. “You can go lower if you want,” he said. Board member Mary Ann Swan said that if they kept the same levy, money would be saved in the long run, which could possibly be used for improvements so the district is in better shape in the future. “I would be OK with asking for what we had talked about at the annual meeting,” she said. Treasurer Tim Mikula said he was comfortable with Nord’s recommendation to bring the mill rate to $10.88. The board approved the $10.88 mill rate

by consensus and set the levy at $4.4 million for 2010-11. Other resolutions approved that night were: • New policies on policy adoption and district parent and family involvement for the K-2 primary and 3-6 elementary • Establishment of three new accounts at the Shell Lake State Bank • The Christmas social for Dec. 20 from 2:30-5 p.m. • Purchase of a trailer for transportation of band percussion instruments and other district uses • To have Dr. Keith Marty, Menomonee Falls School District, discuss district goals at the coming in-service • Applications for the Youth Options college credit program • Consent agenda The board heard a report from the band director, Aimee Pashby, who said there are 33 students in the fifth-grade beginning

children and nine grandchildren, and I feel we are spending their future away. My wife and I are at the time in our life when all of our friends are retiring, but I feel I must “fight the fight” to give our children what we have. With 160,000 jobs lost in the last year alone, 6,700 employers leaving the state and more government jobs than manufacturing jobs for the first time in state history, I think the number one concern on most people’s minds, and my top legislative priority, is getting our economy back on track and getting people back to work. Over the last several months, I’ve had a chance to talk to thousands of people all across the 75th Assembly District. Most of the people I’ve talked to have had enough of the business as usual in Madison, where the wishes and wants of bureaucrats are given a higher priority than the basic needs of the average family. Like them, I believe it’s time to put our state back in the hands of the people. It’s time to work with employers to create jobs, not punish them for investing here. And it’s time to undo the damage of the last eight years of [Gov.] Jim Doyle’s policies of higher taxes, wasteful spending and more debt. My Restore Wisconsin plan will accomplish these goals and put Wisconsin back on the right track toward economic prosperity again. As a small-business owner and job creator, I know what it takes to balance a budget and run a successful business because I’ve done it every day for nearly 40 years. Unfortunately, Doyle and the politicians who increased state spending by nearly 10 percent in the middle of a recession never bothered to ask the taxpayers of Wisconsin where they were going to cut their family budgets, insulating government from having to make the tough choices. That’s the problem we have in Madison right now – too many politicians talk about our money as if it’s theirs. In general, if working families and small businesses are allowed to keep more of what they earn, it will boost employment, get people back to work and grow our state out of this recession. I’ve lived and worked in this area my entire life. I raised my family in the 75th District because I love this area and will do everything I can to represent you and our hardworking values in Madison. As a real estate professional and small-business owner for nearly 40 years, I’ve created jobs, helped hundreds of families achieve the dream of home ownership, brought business developments representing hundreds of good jobs here to the north woods, and donated my time, effort and energy to several community groups including the Rice Lake Chamber of Commerce, the Rice Lake Fire Department, the Knights of Columbus and my church community. I will always put people first. I will work for you, not the special interests. I will cut wasteful spending and bring fiscal responsibility back to Madison. By doing so, I truly believe that we can make Wisconsin the jewel of the Midwest that it once was … a place where employers will come to invest in our communities, create good jobs and stay here.

John Schiess

Schiess, Rice Lake, graduated from UW-

band class and 41 in the seventh- and eighth-grade class. She said the latter performed for a judges panel after only six weeks of practice, and she heard numerous positive comments. “I’ve never had a junior high band that strong,” Pashby said. The high school band recently finished its marching season taking first place in the Cumberland Rutabaga Festival parade. The board also heard reports on student council, the budget, administrative updates, the annual meeting, summer food service, committees, and first readings of policies on the Wisconsin Academic Scholarship and Community Involvement in Decision Making. It was mentioned that the Wisconsin Association of School Boards convention is Jan. 17-21, 2011, with representatives from Shell Lake’s board attending, and that the fall regional meeting is Oct. 21 in Rice Lake.

Stevens Point with a major in resource management and a minor in forestry in 1970. He spent two years in ROTC and served in Vietnam. Upon his return, he went back to Stevens Point for a degree in physical education with minors in coaching, biology and driver’s education, while serving in the Wisconsin National Guard there. Schiess has worked out west for the National Park Service, as a junior high science teacher, at a credit bureau, as a counselor and then a courier, and also had a conservative talk show and commentary. He ran for U.S. Senate and Congress while living in Oregon, in 1984 and 1988, respectively. He returned to Wisconsin in 1999 and worked as a professional driver and courier until he ran for the 93rd Assembly District. He planned to retire when he moved to Rice Lake, but remained interested in politics. Schiess joined the governor’s race last fall, but had to drop out due to illness. He then decided to run as a write-in about a month ago, after seeing the primary election results. He said he has studied the U.S. Constitution for 25 years, and felt he could not in good conscience support either candidate for the 2010 Assembly election. He said that more individual responsibility needs to take place, as there is too much “pass the buck” going on. Needs are not rights, he said, as they cannot coexist. If one lives by the 10 Commandments, he or she will have what they need, he said. Illegal immigration is one of the most important issues to Schiess, along with fiscal responsibility, free enterprise and virtue versus vice, meaning the state needs virtuous leaders. He said the state has a moral responsibility to strengthen the family. The country doesn’t have an economic crisis, but a moral crisis that contributes to the inability of the state to balance a budget, he said. The greatest threat to freedom lies within our own country, he said, and people need to recognize the truth. Schiess has a Web site, www.afact.us, that details all his political platforms. The following are his responses to the WCR questionnaire: A recent census shows illegal immigration accounting for 25 percent of the population increase in the state. Can your budget handle that amount of increase for those who insist you add them to your family of responsibility? Solving social problems at the smallest unit of government possible would cut expenses by at least 50 percent. Socialism has never worked, and never will work. The motto for America is freedom, peace and prosperity. That can only come through a virtuous people and a free market economy with a minimum of government regulations. Get the government out of the way and free enterprise will prosper. When the government creates jobs, that’s communism; when the people create jobs, that’s Americanism! Have you had enough of spending money we don’t have, of government dictating down rather than listening to us, of the big government corruption in both parties? The Constitution empowered the government to protect us from four things: 1. Force (the mob offering you a deal you can’t refuse) 2. Monopoly (concentration of power) 3. Vice 4. Debauchery of public morals Now it is the source of and protects all four. Vote for a real conservative … and a real Republican!

SLEF linking school district and community for years

OCTOBER 20, 2010 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 5

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake Education Foundation has been helping strengthen the community’s involvement with the school district for more than eight years and is getting stronger with the help of new board members and fundraising. The SLEF was incorporated on April 18, 2002, governed by a volunteer board of trustees, independent of the school board. It is committed to maintaining and improving educational excellence in Shell Lake, with the purposes of providing enriched learning opportunities, promoting and encouraging local business and civic and private sector involvement with educational programs, encouraging creative programs and providing financial support through donations and fundraising. The current board is made up of Superintendent Brian Nord, President Tamara Smith, Vice President Dan Brereton, secretary Anne Bryan, assistant treasurer Jim Lewis, teacher representative Joane Greene, and other members – Lisa Egbert, Danette Hopke, Janice Organ, Dorie Simpson, Shane Williams and Wanda Zeug. They meet three or four times a year. Brereton, who recently moved to the area when his wife accepted a teaching position at Shell Lake, said he was hoping the community would have such a foundation. Having served on the school board in his former town of Florence, he is used to being very involved in school districts. “If there wasn’t a foundation here, I was going to start one,” Brereton said. “Foundations are becoming more and more important as school funding fizzles.” Brereton said he was pleased to learn of the SLEF and joined nearly a year ago. He said the SLEF is in a transitional

process now, which includes changing the bylaws, coming up with even more proactive fundraisers and promoting community involvement and collaboration with other Shell Lake organizations such as the Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce. Smith, who joined the board three years ago, said that in the past, the SLEF laid the groundwork for the current board, and Brereton said a lot of the foundation’s funding came through major donors, which is the way many communities education foundations operate and often how they begin. “There was the preplanning, of course, before that,” Smith said of the SLEF’s beginnings. Brereton said the bylaws used to allow only nine members, one of which is automatically the district superintendent, and one teacher representative, or spouse of a teacher. With the amended bylaws, he said anyone who wants to can join. “We’re amending it to meet the needs of the foundation,” Smith said. Brereton said the board recruits members, getting a list of community members, and this past year, half a dozen of those on the list showed interest. “I didn’t have any one negative response,” he said. This year, there are five new members. The foundation operates with the help of many nonboard member volunteers, through what Smith called a “reserve list.” Now, the SLEF is a presence in the community, she said, becoming even more active than before. With the new board, people are bringing more to the table, ideas nobody else may have thought about. The SLEF was the organization responsible for getting four SMART

Boards in the school. SMART Boards are large, interactive whiteboards that use touch detection for input, similar to computers. Smith said the SLEF raised $5,000 in 15 months for the boards. Last year, the SLEF helped sponsor a trip for high school students to see a performance of “Romeo and Juliet” in the Twin Cities, and led the first Earth Day bake sale at school, letting students purchase baked goods during the day. This is an event that will probably be ongoing, Brereton said. “They were pretty happy!” Smith added. The year before that, the foundation helped with the Students of the Month. They also helped with the sixth-grade book club. Brereton said one of his favorite things the foundation sponsored was the kindergarten listening center, which helps students read along with audio through headphones and lets them concentrate easier. This year, the SLEF had a booth at Town and Country Days, and a float in the parade. They recently organized a huge community homecoming during the Lakers Homecoming football game and had a float in that parade, as well. Smith said this was the second year SLEF did the community homecoming and are hoping to make it even bigger next year. The SLEF just finished a Schwan Food Company fundraiser, in which the two worked together to sell frozen food. Smith said the district had to bring in $1,000 and received 20 percent of the profits, which goes back to the school. “I was pleased with that,” Smith said. Smith said the students are soon going to be selling Subway discount cards, and they will have a booth at the 3-12 school during Holiday Saturday in December. Brereton said the SLEF is also working

on a winter event they hope will be communitywide. The goal is to have a couple of major events annually, within the next 10 years. “Your money’s going to something good,” Brereton said. “Everything goes back to the kids,” Smith added. Each fall, Smith said that school faculty can submit applications in an in-house Educational Grant Proposal. The board reviews these applications – this year, the review will be done at the SLEF’s Nov. 8 meeting – and they determine grant funding. The amount dispersed depends on what the foundation has available, Smith said. Brereton added that grant recipients can offset what they receive with other grants or funds. According to past information, approximately five grants are awarded each year, totaling $9,290 in the first five years the SLEF was active. Annual funding has increased, and much of this is due to donations from the community and alumni. Brereton said one of the foundation’s goals is to involve the alumni more. “I think that the alumni are very important to the future of this organization,” he said. The SLEF will be pursuing Shell Lake alumni through different avenues, to help the foundation go as far as possible. Brereton said Shell Lake High School alumni are “spread out around the world,” and the foundation wants to develop a database for them in the future. “We want to work with everybody in the community,” Brereton stressed. The SLEF has a link to its Web site on the school page, www.shelllake.k12.wi.us, on the lefthand sidebar under Education Foundation.

cer position in 1996, getting deputies into the schools, not as a reaction to problems but to educate children and create dialogues. Dryden also got the K-9 unit going in 1993. He says the costs of the series of trained dogs, who are a tool for finding drugs and locating lost persons, have all been covered by donations from the community. But new issues are coming that Dryden says he is eager to work on. He mentions Internet crimes against children, a rising problem in rural areas that take new technical skills to control. He says a big part of the job of his office is protecting children. The department works closely with human services on cases of child neglect and abuse. Dryden says the number of referrals of children at risk is rising and the children must be protected. “How do you tell parents and concerned persons that there are not enough resources and the kid is on the bottom of the pile?” Dryden asks. Dryden says there are growing budget problems and the department has to work hard to lower costs without hurting service. He mentions savings in the jail, using alternate programs to lower the

jailed population, with less transportation of prisoners out of county. Dryden says this includes electronic monitoring and community service work release. He says it costs $140 a day to hold an inmate in jail. Public protection issues are changing and Dryden, one of the five most senior sheriffs in the state, has been called upon to help develop new statewide programs that will benefit Washburn County and the area. Dryden’s service has been requested by three governors and two attorney generals. One issue that is growing and needs a statewide solution is the use of jails as a mental health and medical facility. Dryden says the sheriff’s department is involved, working with human services, in crisis intervention and the detention of persons at risk. But he says jails are not equipped to solve the problems of the mentally ill and the rate of recidivism is high. Dryden says he has built an excellent working relationship with the local police chiefs and their departments. Cooperation with all law enforcement units, the DNR, state patrol, and the tribal force, is

important, he says. “I am working on cutting costs with innovative programs while keeping deputies on the road,” Dryden says. “We have a small department and a big area to serve. I am working on efficiencies to improve services and lower expenses with the least negative impact on the public.” Paul Johnson Background: Twenty-two years in law enforcement. Presently Jackson/Scott/Webb Lake Police Chief. Fifteen years with Wright County, Minn., Sheriff’s Department. Spooner native and present resident. Paul Johnson made the decision to run for Washburn County Sheriff two years ago and declared his candidacy a year ago. But he says he has been thinking about running for the office since he returned to the area five years ago after a career in law enforcement in Minnesota. Johnson calls himself the hometown boy who came back home. He says he saw changes that needed to be made and saw some challenges facing the present system. And he feels he has the background and the ability to make the changes, to bring fresh approaches to issues. Johnson says he is an insider and an outsider who has the freedom to act. Some of Johnson’s ideas involve cost cutting, ways to save money in the department without hurting service. He says that the public should not feel negative effects from budget cuts. Johnson has ideas about the transport of prisoners, jail costs, vehicle maintenance, and the dispatch/communications system.

Johnson would like to use the Polk and Barron county jails to house prisoners when the Washburn jail is full and would like to set up a route to share the transport runs with Burnett County. He thinks the laundry and food services at the jail could be put out for bids to lower costs. He thinks maintenance on the squads could be done at the highway shop, lowering costs while giving work to the laid-off mechanics at highway. And Johnson thinks that there could be a consolidation of dispatch services among several counties. Future budgets will be tighter and Johnson says he would look at every option that would avoid not needing to cut patrol hours. Patrol cuts could hurt the people, he said. Johnson would like to expand mutual aid and work closer with the local police departments. He would like to cross-deputize all the officers in the county and share resources with the local police chiefs. Johnson says he wants to bring barriers down and make it easier for all to work together. The sheriff is the public face of the county’s law enforcement, Johnson says. He wants to run a transparent department with everything out in the open. He says he wants to meet with the people and be accessible and wants to meet with local governments. But he also wants to work closely with the deputies in the department, including doing patrol shifts when needed.

You can also create an ornament at home to bring in to the library — not larger than 6 inches by 6 inches. The library staff would like to begin a scrapbook of our heroes too and you can include an 8-1/2-inch by 11-inch page to honor your service member. For more information call Rita at 715-468-2074.

while, I noticed more bulk on my back. Since turning 50 I have noticed that a lot of back fat has mysteriously shown up, but in this case it was a lot of bulk in a really short amount of time. As I pulled at a bulge clinging to the inside of the garment I removed a sock, and then another and yet another. All the socks that were bunched up in my sweater were a different color. Then I needed to sort through the drawer that holds all the mismatched socks to see if I could come up with three matching pairs. If I was ambitious, I could have gone through other articles of clothing that I haven’t worn for a while to see if I might find more missing mates. Then again, perhaps some of those missing socks, if they were clinging to the inside of other garments, may have ended up at Goodwill by now. Now, if I could only locate some of my missing mittens so I can wear a matching pair when I need them.

lead with character and business-minded common sense. Most important issue: We need more jobs. Becoming more business friendly, and growing businesses, leads to more jobs, which in turn leads to greater revenue, which brings more children to our schools and a larger population for all of our communities to grow and prosper. Cost control: As a business person, the first item on the agenda is to look for, find and cut out the inefficiencies in government that are costing taxpayer dollars. This can be done without taking away any critical programs currently serving the citizens. Work to eliminate the fraud, waste and abuse. We must eliminate our debt and be fiscally responsible. Campaign Web site: www.daneforsenate.com

Bob Jauch Following four years in the Army, including one year in Vietnam, I attended UW-Eau Claire. Upon the death of my father, I quit school to assist my mother with a small printing business. I then moved to Superior to work for Congressman Dave Obey and attended UWSuperior. I was elected to the Assembly in 1982, and elected to the Senate in 1986. Currently, I serve as chair of the Children and Families Committee and am vice chair of the Education and Natural Resources Committee. I am also the chair of the Legislative Study Committee on fraud and abuse. I participate in state, national and international civic education programs to strengthen democracy and promote citizenship. Public office remains one of the most honorable ways to strengthen our communities and improve the lives of our neighbors. I am inspired by the beauty of the north, am motivated by the strong character of our neighbors and remain passionately committed to apply my skills, experience and energy to better their lives. Our forests, fields, rivers, streams and lakes define the landscape and I am committed to continuing an effort to preserve and manage these beautiful resources to preserve them for the future and sustain our economy. I share the northern values of good schools, safe communities, strong families and a clean environment and am passionate in advocating for policies that provide

the opportunity for our region to grow and our citizens to prosper. Our region is often overlooked by those who believe that Wisconsin ends at Hwy. 29, and no one works harder than I do to assure that our citizens are treated as equals with those who live in our largest cities in the south. I believe in a strong state-local partnership to assure that our children are well educated and that our property taxpayers are protected. That partnership must invest in maintaining and improving our infrastructure and helping our businesses grow. Northern residents work hard, volunteer their time and invest their energy to help others and build our communities. The will of the people is the law of the land and I am deeply committed to working with them to leave a legacy of a better life for the future. Improving the northern economy is always the top priority, and my primary responsibility is to work with local officials and business to find the right policies and resources to protect and expand jobs. The state adopted my proposal to provide $3 million in revolving loans to support the protection and expansion of small businesses in the north. The Legislature adopted several of my transportation initiatives to help improve the financial viability for loggers. At my urging the Department of Natural Resources reversed their decision to close the Hayward nursery. Our farms are the lifeblood of our society and I have worked for policies to provide long-term financial stability by investing in alternative energies like biofuels. Investing in our bridges and roads is critical to our well-being and essential to growing our economy and I have strongly supported major investments in Hwys. 53 and 63. I have also continuously worked to increase local road aids which are critical to protecting the local levy and maintaining our local roads. We have a moral and constitutional responsibility to invest in equal education for our children. Education is the pipeline to the promise of our future and I have passionately argued for more resources and greater flexibility to help our small rural schools succeed. Painful budget reductions will continue as Wisconsin struggles with the harmful effects of the global reces-

sion. State employee positions have been eliminated and over 10 percent of our state workforce is vacant. Salaries were frozen while all state employees take 16 days of furlough. I also returned 4 percent of my salary as part of a shared responsibility to cut costs and balance our budget. Agency budgets were cut by 5 percent, including over $633 million in cuts to medical assistance and $294 million in reduction to K-12 schools. The university budget was cut by $135 million. I currently chair the Legislative Study Committee on fraud and abuse, which will recommend changes that will result in additional savings. School districts operate with restrictive spending limits and many are now considering consolidation or dissolution. The Legislature adopted my language to increase consolidation aid as a way of providing financial assistance to taxpayers who choose to consolidate their districts. While communities work well together in the north, we must also find ways to eliminate barriers for local governments to consolidate and more efficiently deliver services. I serve the public, not the special interest, and I will do my best to protect citizens from the selfish behavior of others who don’t care about community. My job is to serve working families and farmers who work hard and contribute to the well-being to their community. I will continue to cooperate and provide assistance to northern Wisconsin businesses which make investments in new jobs and growing our economy. However, I will also do my best to eliminate corporate tax loopholes that shift the burden of taxation from businesses to homeowners. Our citizens have every right to expect public officials to put politics aside and seek solutions. Those who practice the politics of obstruction and hope for failure hurt America. As a state lawmaker I know how to assure that government is responsible, responsive and efficient. Every day I work with local officials, colleagues and local business to improve the economy and revitalize our region. I am a problem solver who cuts through partisanship and polarization to get results.

Nick Milroy I was born and raised in northern Wisconsin and am a fourth generation of the Milroy family to call the north woods home. I have spent 34 of my 36 years living in northern Wisconsin. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Julie, a local public school teacher, and we are raising two children together. I am a proud veteran who served in the Persian Gulf. Returning home from my overseas deployment, I continued my service in the Navy Reserve, served as a city councilor in my hometown, and am a certified Wisconsin Hunter Education instructor. I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Superior and worked for over a decade as a natural resource professional. As your representative to the Wisconsin State Assembly, I am honored to continue my service to our region. As a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly Committee

Like many, I am frustrated with the direction of our state and national economy over the last decade. We need positive leadership that will work toward sustainable economic development to provide jobs for the next generation. My top priorities are to work to bring good-paying jobs to northern Wisconsin and to hold the line on property taxes so that all of our children can continue to call northern Wisconsin home. I would be honored to continue my service to northern Wisconsin and will always stand up for the working families of our region. The top issue facing our region is growing our economy by bringing good-paying jobs to northern Wisconsin. To keep northern Wisconsin competitive and bring good-paying jobs here, we must continue to invest in quality educational opportunities for our children, rein in the insurance companies to bring down the cost of health care, and protect our natural resources which are vital to our economy. We also must hold the line on property taxes so that future generations can continue to live, work and raise a family in northern Wisconsin. I will be a vigilant steward of taxpayer dollars. Every expenditure must be carefully analyzed for the positive benefit of our economy. Just like all of our households, Wisconsin must do more with less. I understand the difficulties that so many families are facing, that is why I returned nearly $1,500 of my own salary to help balance the state budget. We can position northern Wisconsin as a leader in the 21st century economy by creating policies and incentives that utilize our region’s bountiful natural resources with investments in renewable energy technologies.

I have an extensive history of volunteering and memberships, which includes, but is not limited to: Lake Superior Bi-National Forum Board of Directors, St. Louis River Watershed Total Maximum Daily Load Partnership Board of Directors, American Fisheries Society, Duluth-Superior Metropolitan Interstate Council Board member and Head of the Lakes Fair Board of Directors. Hobbies and interests: hunting, fishing, camping, scuba diving, wild ricing, reading, traveling, family. As a father of two young children, I am running for the Wisconsin State Assembly because I want to ensure that northern Wisconsin continues to be a great place to live and raise a family. My parents and grandparents taught me the value of hard work and giving back to our community. I have worked hard to live up to that commitment. I served in the Persian Gulf and continued my service upon returning home in the Navy Reserve. Prior to serving in the Legislature, I worked as a biologist protecting our natural resources. Our natural resources in northern Wisconsin are the basis of our economy. My experience as a natural resource professional brings a unique perspective to the Legislature, where I serve on the Forestry, Natural Resources and Fish and Wildlife committees. I have a strong track record of protecting our natural resources and enhancing the jobs that sustain our economy.

Other information for the voters: For the first time in state history, Wisconsin’s various levels of government employed more people than Wisconsin’s manufacturers, and Wisconsin’s budget crisis was ranked among the 10 worst in the nation. I believe in the following: • I believe in free enterprise, which does not have excessive government regulations and taxes. I will support a repeal of the capital gains tax, and I support a more simple and streamlined tax code. • I will vote to support a limit on state spending, and I will support a smaller government. • I support a clean environment. The environment is definitely an important issue, but it shouldn’t be the environment or jobs, it must be the environment and jobs that are considered. • I will vote to uphold our Second Amendment rights. The right to keep and bear arms is one of the fundamental freedoms upon which our country was built. • School funding reform is needed. I support [governor candidate] Scott Walker’s plan which would allow local governments and school districts, currently paying higher premiums for health

Playing strong in the final stretch

by Larry Samson WINTER — With a 53-6 win over the Winter Warriors, the Shell Lake Lakers football finished their conference season undefeated with only one nonconference game with Whitehall left on the schedule before the playoffs begin Tuesday, Oct. 26. Shell Lake will be the top seed in the bracket and, depending on the results of the games this week, they could face Gilman or McDonnell Central in the first round. The outcome of the game against Winter was never in doubt as these two very different teams met on a beautiful fall afternoon. Winter is a small school in their third year of varsity football. They had 14 players suited up for the game. They started out the season with 24 players but lost four from injuries before their first game. They came to play football and their loyal fans came out to watch and support their favorite football team. Shell Lake kicked the ball off to Winter and stopped them on three downs. Tom Helstern ran 35 yards on the second play of the game for the touchdown. Tyler

Anderson scored the next two touchdowns from 35 and 40 yards. Helstern scored from the 10-yard line for the game’s fourth and his second touchdown. Helstern connected to Aaron Druschba on a 40-yard pass. Backup quarterback Caleb Parker ran the ball in for the sixth touchdown. The half ended as Shell Lake scored their seventh touchdown when A.J. Denotter recovered a fumble in the end zone. He had his second touchdown when he broke through the secondary and ran 55 yards for six points. Winter scored late in the fourth quarter when Zack Schmitz scored on a 6-yard run. Shell Lake will meet with the 5-3 Whitehall Norseman on Thursday, Oct. 21, in a nonconference home game. Whitehall is a Division 6 school playing in the Dairyland Conference. This will be the first time these two schools meet. How good they are is anyone’s guess. Whitehall beat Cochrane-Fountain City 24-20 as did Frederic 56-20. Whitehall has had a 5-5 for the last two seasons in a tough conference.

Aaron Druschba breaks the tackle on a 40-yard touchdown reception from Tom Helstern. Shell Lake defeated Winter 53-6 in a day game played Friday, Oct. 15, in Winter.

Wrapping up is one of the fundamentals that makes for a great defense. The seniors making this tackle on Derek Mataczynski are No. 65 Tori Williams, No. 60 Joe Mikula and No. 63 Ryan Mikula.

Winter defensive man Dustin Leuloff makes one last lunge as Tyler Anderson heads for the end zone for his second touchdown of the game.

Volleyball team finishes conference season 0-10

GRANTSBURG/SHELL LAKE — The Laker volleyball team finished its conference season with a 0-10 record after a loss against the Grantsburg Pirates on Tuesday, Oct. 12, in Grantsburg. Scores were: 6-25, 5-25 and 10-25. The season has shown few wins, but lots of growth and potential for the future. The team also finished its regular season hosting five other teams at the Shell Lake Invitational on Saturday, Oct.16. The Lakers played their best volleyball of the season and are entering the regional tournament season confident after finishing third behind two Division 3 schools. The Lakers took a game off of Boyceville, 25-20, who ended up being the tournament champion, and fought hard games against the second-place Ladysmith with scores of 25-27 and 17-25. Senior Captain Lindsey Green came alive and dominated on the court with 38 attacking kills and 13 serving aces. “Lindsey was absolutely amazing today! She stepped up and held back nothing; nearly unstoppable with her attacks and her jump serve,” commented coach Amy Skattebo. Green’s best game was against Prairie Farm, attacking 26/26, 100 percent, with 12 kills, and serving 11/13 with three aces. Junior captain Emmalee Statz wasn’t so quiet in her back-row position either, digging up 23 attacks to help set up the team’s offense all day long, and improving her season’s serve-receive percentage by passing 60/82 and serving 42/47 with nine aces. Statz’s best game of the day was against tournament champion Boyceville, passing 14/16, 88 percent, and digging up eight attacks. This is a best-case scenerio for the team heading into regional tournaments, fired up and confident. The Lakers were in Bayfield on Tuesday, Oct. 19. If the team advances, they will most likely be facing Drummond on Friday, Oct. 22, and then regional finals on Saturday, Oct. 23.

God has one son without sin, but he has no sons without suffering. Suffering oftentimes brings out talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. John Bunyan was incarcerated in Bedford Jail. There he wrote “Pilgrim’s Progress.” Victor Hugo was exiled. Then he wrote one of the world’s greatest novels, “Les Miserables.” Robert Louis Stevenson was confined to his bed by sickness. Then he wrote “Treasure Island” and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Suffering will make you better or bitter. Submit yourself to God, and your suffering will make you better.

Evelyn M. Nordlund

Evelyn M. Nordlund, 85, Shell Lake, died at her home on Oct. 11, 2010. Evelyn was born Aug. 1, 1925, in St. Paul, Minn., to Eugene W. and Rose (Galambusky) Schindeldecker. She was the youngest of three children. She had two brothers: Harold, the eldest, and LeRoy. Shortly after graduating from Spooner High School, Ev moved to Duluth, Minn., and worked for over 30 years for IGA Foods. Throughout her life she found great joy in her pets and considered them family. She was an avid reader and enjoyed mystery novels and puzzles. Ev was a member of St. Fran-

by Jack Neely, Shell Lake Little capsules of days gone by lie all around us. They may be found in old albums in your deceased grandparents attic, jottings left in the back of your dad’s rolltop, or random notes or book reviews one’s mom left, as mine did, in an end table by her favorite reading c h a i r . And bygone years can be seen through newspapers — brittle and yellowed from age. That was the case when I recently decided to varnish the logs of a bedroom in our 85-year-old cabin. In doing so, I pulled out a small wad of newspaper stuffed into a crack between the top of a log and the ceiling. I am sure it had been wedged in there to block the path of mice that have inhabited the place since I was a little kid.

Barronett by Judy Pieper

Some of the members of Barronett Lutheran were very busy this past Friday and Saturday serving brats and hot dogs in the parking lot of Louie’s Finer Meats in Cumberland. They couldn’t have possibly had better weather for a cookout. It seemed that most of the population of Cumberland and the surrounding area were out and about enjoying the beautiful fall weather, and lots of them stopped by to say hello and have a little lunch. The members of Barronett Lutheran extend gratitude to everyone who stopped by, and they hope to see you again next time they have a chance to man the brat stand. The Barronett fall garage sale will be held this Saturday, Oct. 23, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Barronett Community Center. There will be lots of things to choose from — new and used items, holiday items and crafts. The lunch counter will be open, so after you find everything you just can’t live without, stop by and have coffee and goodies with a friend. It will be a fun way to spend part of your busy weekend. On Oct. 30, members of the civic club will be hosting the annual Halloween party at the Barronett Community Center from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be games, prizes, food and fun. The event is free to children ages 10 and under, but, of course, all donations are appreciated. All children must be accompanied by an adult, so get your little ones dressed up in their cutest or scariest costumes and come on down for a fun-filled afternoon in Barronett. Shawn Tisdell returned home recently from a 10week internship program with the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia. He noted that Australia may not be the place that most of us would expect an environmental transformation to be taking place, but they are leading the world at applying ecology-based

solutions to human-made problems. Shawn went to Australia to work with some of the top teachers to learn in depth a method of finding solutions to human problems based on studying natural environments. This trip was a last-minute decision for the Tisdell family. Shawn didn’t know until a week ahead of time that he would be going to Australia, or that he would be away from Rhonda for as long as he was. The opportunity to attend the seminar opened up, and Rhonda encouraged him to go, learn, and come back and teach. Shawn and Rhonda live on a hobby farm, and their idea is to share the farm as a learning institute to help others learn to live in ways that are more sustainable and permanent for the environment. Shawn’s studies in Australia revolved around different areas, including gardening, food forests, composting, urban gardening systems, natural architecture and construction, solar heat and electric systems. He took time for some fun things as well. He looked for platypi on the river, and saw a few. He watched the stars in the southern hemisphere and found that he was unfamiliar with most of the constellations. He did have to watch out for insects and reptiles that could actually kill him, and once had an eastern brown snake — the second deadliest snake in the world — pass right through the community dining area. He also made new friends from all over the world. Rhonda flew over during the last week and they traveled together along the east coast of Australia. They hiked up Mount Warning, which is the highest point in Australia, and the place in Australia that gets the winter morning sun first. It rained most of the time they

Can you believe this weather? The flowers are still blooming nicely here at Glenview. We have beautiful geraniums and other flowers still thriving. Leaves are pretty well dropping but some are still hanging in there. We remember the family of Roger Jacobs who passed away suddenly last week and funeral services were held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Our prayers are with you all. Peder Pederson entertained a birthday party at his home Saturday for his grandchildren, Michelle and Tonya Minot, who turned 20 years old and Derek Pederson who turned 18 years old. Those attending were Curt and Martha Pederson and Derek and Daniel Hanson, Phillip Pederson and fiancée Bethany Lawrence, Cheri and Steve Minot, Eric, Tonya and Michelle, and Tony and Kristi Minot of New Richmond. Birthday greetings to you all! Mavis and Roger Flach took in the visitation of Roger Jacobs on Monday evening at Skinner Funeral home. Funeral was on Tuesday. Thursday afternoon Mavis and Roger Flach and granddaughter Hailey Flach drove to Winter for the Shell Lake football game, which we won. On Saturday, Mavis and Roger were at Wayne and Kim Flach’s for a going-away party for their son, David, who is leaving for the service. Good Luck David. On Monday, Mary and John Marschall drove to Iowa to the community college to see son Brady who is going to school there. Lillian, Frank, and Louise were spending the day on Sunday with sister Florence Carlson in Spooner. Tim and Sue Pederson of Amherst and Megan and Stephanie of Eau Claire came up on Saturday to attend the wedding of Heleyna Benjamin and Justin Andrea who were married at Salem Lutheran Church with reception and dance at the community center on Saturday. Congratulations to the couple! On Sunday they attended Salem Lutheran Church for the baptism of baby Ellianna Rose Lauterbach, daughter of Rick and Jane (Quam) Lauterback. She is the sister of Noah, Rich and Ryan. The Lauterbacks, Rick, Ryan and Rich, were also taken in as new members. Following the service a dinner was served to the family. Welcome to all you new members. Tim Pederson and Sue picked up Helen V., his mom, to take to church on Sunday. She enjoyed the dinner too. The Pedersons all left for home later on Sunday afternoon. Tim Pederson will be leaving on Wednesday morning for Indianapolis, Ind., for the FFA convention. Shell Lake also goes for that. I guess it is a huge delegation and students are given awards for their outstanding work during the last year. Opal Gothblad of Glenview returned home from Sheboygan where she went to stay with her daughter and receive therapy for the past few weeks. It is good to have you back Opal! An argument is a head-on collision of two trains of thought. Enjoy this Indian summer!

were hiking and was so foggy that they couldn’t see very far from the mountain, but that was to be expected because, after all, they were in a rain forest. They drove to the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, and Shawn snorkeled around a coral island while Rhonda lounged by the pool of their bed and breakfast. They spent some time walking along the beaches in Bargara and in Mooloolaba, which are located in Queensland. They then drove to Brisbane and stayed in another bed and breakfast which overlooked Brisbane. From there they took a boat tour up river to a koala sanctuary where they were able to hold koalas and feed kangaroos. Shawn also was able to see a platypus close up. From Brisbane they went to the airport and flew home. Because they crossed the international date line, and because the plane made such good time, they actually got to Los Angeles a couple hours earlier than they took off from Brisbane. Shawn was gone a total of 79 days, had a wonderful time, and is very happy to be home. Shawn will be giving a lecture at Macalester College in the Twin Cities this weekend on the things he learned in Australia, and said that if anyone is interested in learning more about protecting the environment, he would like to hear from them. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Remember, the big Barronett garage sale is this Saturday. See you next time.

Larry, Heidi, Celie and Baxter Mangelsen spent the weekend at their camper Oct. 8 – 10. Friends of theirs from Faribault, Minn., Chad, Kari and Maddy Carter, brought their camper and spent the weekend here too. The families celebrated that the two ladies had passed their bar exams after graduating from law school in May. Mary Dunn, Lida Nordquist, Nina and Donna Hines, Diana and Karen Mangelsen and Ruth Rydberg were guests at the home of Marlene Swearingen Tuesday afternoon. They all enjoyed a time of visiting and playing cards. Sue and Roger Mroszak went to St. Paul, Minn., Thursday to eat at Mancini’s with a number of other couples. Several of the men, who have kept in touch since second grade, celebrated their 70th birthdays. Roger and Sue stayed overnight and spent some time Friday playing cards and visiting with friends. A number of people from this area attended the open house Saturday at Timberland Church for Glen and Lorraine Crosby, in honor of their 65th wedding anniversary. The party was hosted by their children. Donna, Gerry, Nina and Lawrence Hines, Hank and Karen Mangelsen, Lida and Don Nordquist and Marlene Swearingen joined Nick, Esther, Gerald and Pauline Mangelsen at Rumors in Siren for a Sunday brunch hosted by Inez and Arvid Pearson for their 60th wedding anniversary.

Accident reports

Friday, Oct. 1 Carrie Jo Hover, 21, Spooner, went into the ditch on Hwy. 53 and CTH B, Beaver Brook, at 11:52 a.m. According to the report, Hover, was driving north on the highway when she entered the eastside ditch and struck a culvert. The report said it was raining that morning, so the roads were wet. Hover was taken by ambulance to the Indianhead Medical Center, Shell Lake, for injuries. The report said she had a baby in the vehicle, who was not reportedly injured. The vehicle had very severe damage to the front and undercarriage, and was towed by Jock’s Auto & Truck Repair. At 8:16 p.m., Carol A. Tolene, 54, Minong, hit a bear on Hwy. 77 and CTH K, Chicog. The report said Tolene was driving east on the highway, east of CTH K, when she hit the bear. Tolene was not injured, but the vehicle had moderate damage to the front and the airbag had deployed. At 10:45 p.m., Susan R. Bain, 32, Cameron, hit a bear on Hwy. 53 and Cranberry Road, Spooner. According to the sergeant’s narrative, he found Bain parked on the highway, with her flashers on. She said she had been driving north on the highway when the bear ran across the road in front of her, and she struck and killed it. The report said Bain thought she had gotten some glass in her eye, but did not need medical treatment. The vehicle had moderate damage to the front and was removed by American Towing & Recovery. Bain was cited for having an uninsured vehicle. Sunday, Oct. 3 Brandon J. Hubin-Barrows, 24, Shell Lake, overturned on CTH B at Coldwell Road, Shell Lake, at 6 a.m. According to the report, Hubin-Barrows said he had fallen asleep while driving west on CTH B, which caused him to drift onto the northern shoulder. When he woke up, he overcorrected and crossed the road, sliding sideways into the south ditch. The vehicle momentarily overturned onto the driver’s side before landing upright and stopping. Hubin-Barrows was able to back out of the ditch prior to the officer’s arrival. He was not injured, though the vehicle had severe damage to the driver’s side, and he was cited for inattentive driving. Saturday, Oct. 9 Mark G. Stefanik, 57, Winnetka, Ill., went into the ditch on Hwy. 63 at Fox Trail Road, Shell Lake, at 11:15 a.m. The report said a noncontact vehicle was stopped and signaling for a left turn, while waiting for oncoming traffic to pass, as Stefanik was heading north on the highway. Stefanik said he did not see the vehicle stopped and swerved to miss it, going across Fox Trail Road and jumping the ditch. The vehicle crashed into a fence and went into a cornfield. The report said the responding officer checked the noncontact vehicle’s signal and brake lights, and found them to be working properly. Stefanik had an injured neck and his passenger, Deborah G. Stefanik, 59, had a chest injury, the report said. The vehicle had very severe damage to the front and rear, and was removed by American. Monday, Oct. 11 James M. Phillips, 53, Hermantown, Minn., hit a deer on Hwys. 53 and 63, Spooner, at 6:15 a.m. The report said Phillips was not injured, but all airbags in the vehicle deployed and he was unable to exit the vehicle. – with info. from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department

Congratulations to Heleyna Quam and Justin Andrea who were married Saturday, Oct. 16, at Salem Lutheran Church in Shell Lake. The bride had five attendants, as did the groom. The flower girl was Ambriel Jones and the ring bearer was Taven Jones, children of the bride. A reception and dance was held. Parents of the couple are Tom and Barb Benjamin and Sam and Brenda Andrea. The couple will make their home in Spooner. May the newlyweds enjoy many happy years together. My Sunshine went back to Mayo in Rochester, Minn., on Oct. 18, for a checkup. At this time he is eating quite well and we hope this continues so he doesn’t have to go back on tube feeding. Please keep Sunshine in your special thoughts and prayers for a full recovery. At this time Sunshine remains at the Cramers in Eau Claire near a big city hospital. Joanna Schade was up for the weekend to see her mother, Catherine Schumaker, and also visited and stayed overnight at her sister, Betty, and honey Carl Meister’s. Table Talk: If you are a senior citizen or are disabled what would you do if there was no more Social Security and how would you survive? Me, well I suppose we’d have to shoot deer out of season, grow our own gardens, and how about our electricity, which we all depend on? After all, we need electricity for many of our households from heat to eat. Kind of interesting isn’t it? Makes a person just thankful for what we have even though we all complain. Saturday, Bernard and Sandy Redding were in Durand where Bernard met up with a bunch of his Navy buddies for good talkin’ and other. Sandy tells us she only has two more weeks of dialysis and then come Nov. 1 she will be taught how to do the peritoneal dialysis and be able to do the dialysis at her own home. She says she has to have it on nine hours, which she thinks would be good at night while sleeping. If I forgot to wish Andrea Redding a very happy birthday I am sorry but its happy birthday to Andrea on Sept. 15. Andrea graduated from high school last spring and was in a terrible car accident and still recuperating at her parents. She is taking a course by computer now. Monday evening Jerry and Gretchen Best enjoyed supper at Gretch’s mom’s, Lillian Strege, at Luck. Also there were Gail and Ben Kobernick and their daughter, Amanda, who is in the Reserves and had recently got back to the U.S. after spending a year in Iraq. Also there were Gwen Strege and her son, Chad, and his daughter, Annie. Talking with Karen Knoop, we find Karen doing quite well now after she broke her hip and had it replaced this summer. She uses the wheelchair to help steady herself but has been busy canning and freezing

those tasty veggies, making meals and everything else that goes along with keeping up the house. Rod and Bonnie Hibbard and girls moved in when Karen was gone and helped so much with canning, etc. They have now moved to Eau Claire where Rod is a trucker. It’s so good to hear you’re doing so well Karen and we are happy to have you back in Dewey Country. Karen also said this week at the Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake they will be having a missions council. Missionaries from Europe, England, Africa, Haiti, South America, Mexico and Peru will be gathering here to tell the needs of their countries. Talking with Lorraine and Beth Crosby we find Glen and Lorraine celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary Saturday at Timberland church with potluck and lots of relatives and friends wishing the Crosbys many more happy years together. The Crosby girls, we are told, did the cake baking and later a number of relatives stopped at Beth and Garry Crosby’s for a visit and more goodies. Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan were also home for the festivities. All six of the Crosby’s children and their families were home for the special occasion. Asking Lorraine what her secret was for a happy marriage of 65 years, her answer was “Don’t ever go to bed angry!” Asking her what her honey Glen would say she said, “Just got a good woman!” Many more years to this happy couple. Saturday, Judy Leonard and Dixie Andrea attended the Crosby’s anniversary party. Sunday the Andreas’ daughter, Penny Anderson, came to visit Chuck and Dixie. Saturday was the Meltons family breakfast Riverside in Spooner with 14 enjoying family time along with good food. Saturday evening Cecil and Evelyn Melton attended the birthday supper for Castin Melton who turned 4 and is the little son of Amos and Natalie Melton. Sunday Don Trott visited Cecil and Evelyn.. News from the Fjelstad Palace finds the Greg Dorweiler family visiting Kris last Sunday. Monday Bob and Kris enjoyed supper at Tony’s. Tuesday Gladys Knoop visited Kris. Wednesday the ladies circle met at Lakeview UMC and held a meeting. Later in the evening found Beth Crosby, Judy Leonard, Dixie Andrea and Kris Fjelstad enjoying supper at the 5 O’ Clock. Thursday Kris visited Tom and Melissa Gerlach. Friday Marv Knoop visited Bob and Kris and later Bob and Kris visited Jerry and Janice Larson. Saturday the ladies of the Lakeview UMC served lunch for the funeral of LaVerne Lauder. Sunday was the United Methodist Women’s Sunday. Bev Maser gave the message, Kris served at liturgist and Mariellen Nagel did the children’s message. Later Kris visited Jim and Trish Patten. Friday evening found Butch and Loretta VanSelus taking their three grandchildren, Reyna, Megan and Jameson Stone, over to the Faith Community Church of the Nazarene in Danbury to the harvest party. There were lots of kids from church and the community who enjoyed lots of games and lunch. I think Butch and Loretta enjoy it as much as the kids. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

What a gorgeous day we have here this Oct. 17! Yes, Mr. Sunshine is out and it’s perfect weather. All those beautiful tree leaves are now on the ground with the trees looking naked and scary. But hey, that’s the way it is when we live in the four seasons. Lots and lots of corn is now being combined, making it to a silo or other. Haven’t heard what the yields have been but with the weather we had this last season the bushels should be over any we have had in the past. Thursday evening, Debbie Quam had a family dinner for the honored guest, her honey, Gene, for his birthday. Coming to help Gene celebrate were Marie, Warren, Jim, Mike and Buddy and Alyssa Quam. Also there to enjoy the delicious supper were Rick and Janie Lauterbach and little daughter Ellianna. Son Richy finally finished up fourth-crop alfalfa haying. Yes, that hay just grew and grew after each cutting this summer and there’s lots of hay around this year for sale. Those howling and yipping coyotes are back again. It’s very eerie to be awakened with these creepy sounds. Coyotes are also showing up in towns now, along with bear and deer. My sister, Dot, told me they have seven deer that go from one lawn to the next one where she lives, there in the daylight hours eating on people’s lawns. I don’t think we have many deer around our area as not many have got one with the bow that I know of. Happy birthday wishes go out to Sonny Erickson on his special day, Oct. 21. Have a great day, Sonny. Happy birthday wishes go out to Rick Lauterbach on his special day, Oct. 21. Have a wonderful day, Rick. Happy anniversary to Gary and Norma LaVeau on Oct. 22. Many more to this great couple. Happy birthday wishes go out to Bonnie Scheu and to Frank Hamer on Oct. 22. Have a wonderful day. Happy anniversary to special nephew and niece Gene and Debbie Quam as they celebrate 10 years together Oct. 22. Have a wonderful day you two.

This past week, many eyes were on TV watching rescuers get 33 trapped Chilean miners out safely to the surface. What a rescue! And of course, watching Minnesota win and Green Bay lose on Sunday. These days one doesn’t go to the mailbox and come in emptyhanded with all those campaign flyers that we’re getting. Only a couple of weeks to go, thank heaven! Dorothy Lombard’s daughter, Doriene, and husband Casey Cassidy, from Wasilla, Alaska, arrived here and visited Dort. Casey flew out west on a hunting trip. Doriene and her sister, Sue Miller, from Menomonie, took in the Green Bay game in Green Bay on Sunday. Mavis Schlapper and Jan Rath went to Jump River on Saturday to a benefit and dance; a German band with really great music entertained. Gene Hendrickson of the Twin Cities stopped and visited Mavis one day. He was at the Aage Duch farm with other family members, going through things. Mavis Schlapper had the girls over Wednesday afternoon. They included Bev Helmer, Elfreda West, Dort Lombard, Gloria Frey and me. We were celebrating Gloria’s belated birthday. Russ, Ryan and Jaxson Furchtenicht attended the Four-Mile Dairy’s open house in Hillsdale Saturday. They built a new 600-cow double-20 parallel parlor and manure hauling system. They had a nice meal and a 12piece band entertained. Sue Krantz attended the Girls Go North group outing Friday, Saturday and Sunday, going horseback riding, an annual thing for about 15 years now.

Friendship Commons

This was another busy week at Friendship Commons. We are now playing 500 on the first and third Mondays of each month at 1 p.m. On Tuesday at 7 p.m., we play Smear. Last week’s winners were first: Bob Washkuhn and Marvin Mortensen; second: Mabel Washkuhn and Karen Blodgett; third: Mabel Perry and Jim Kilen. Wednesday at 9 a.m., the Stitch and Chat group meets to work on projects. Then at 1 p.m. a group meets to play games. On Thursday at 1 p.m., we play Cribbage. Last week’s winners were first: Jim Kilen; second: Chuck Harrell; third: Ron Cable; fourth: George Ricci. On Friday, Oct. 15, Ruth Twining gave a demonstration on cake decorating. Ruth has 56 years of experience decorating cakes and the two cakes she decorated were beautiful. Ruth donated both cakes to the center; one was served at the Friday community potluck. The

locals going were Joanie Campbell, Barb Keefe and Ann Loeche, and they met up with others, nine in all. They enjoyed a campfire, stayed up near Gordon and had a great time. Greg Krantz said he’s officially done haying finally for this year. Anton and Gloria Frey and Pete, Ben, and Emma had Friday night supper at daughter Jan’s. Ben stayed overnight with Aunt Jan. Anton bagged a doe in the early hunt on the weekend. Cindy Furchtenicht’s daughter Melinda from Haugen was up on Saturday and visited. Grandson Duane Swanson, Menomonie, was up Thursday through Sunday hunting and got a deer in this early anterless hunt. Duane, Roger and Casey Furchtenicht got wood in my basement and cleaned the chimney so I’m all ready. Sara Marschall and I helped her mom, Mary Marschall, serve the Shell Lake football and coaches team after practice. Mary always cooks up a storm and the boys love it. Sara and friend Kyle Mathisen came out Thursday evening and visited and played cards with Duane and me. Casey Furchtenicht was hunting, planting wild ginseng and getting info on the family tree for a school assignment while off from school during teacher’s convention. I got a call from Dorothy Snyder, Sheboygan. They ran the hardware store in Spooner years back. She just

other was served Wednesday, Oct. 20 at the birthday recognition lunch. Thank you, Ruth, you showed us an art that most of us had not seen before. The community potluck was enjoyed by many. There are no other potlucks scheduled. A group from the commons went to the baked-potato-with-toppings supper at the Rice Lake senior center. It was very good and a beautiful day for a ride. Friendship Commons will be having their monthly meeting on Monday, Oct. 25, at which time there will be the election of a new board for the upcoming year. The meeting is open to all, only members may vote. Everyone is welcome to attend all of the activities that are at Friendship Commons, so if you see something that interests you, come and join us. Lunch is served every day at noon. You can order a hot meal or come in for a salad. Have a nice week everyone!

SPOONER — In past years, the tug-of-war contests on Saturday night were hotly contested by township teams. Slipper kicking and the rolling pin toss were also old favorites. Rope pulling returns for the 100th Washburn County Fair so teams are encouraged to get their team organized in the following four divisions: Girls 18 and younger, boys 18 and younger, women’s and men’s. Youth are eligible to enter women’s or men’s competition; however, teams can only participate in one division. To be eligible to be on a pulling team, the person must live, own property, or work full time in Washburn County or any adjoining township. Anyone can sponsor a team and all teams will need a name. Teams can have up to 10 members plus a captain that does not pull. If the captain pulls, then that person is counted as one of the 10. During the pull up to six persons pull at once. Anyone can sponsor a team — businesses, townships, individuals, clubs, and school groups or another group. There will be no cost to enter the rope pull and prize money will be awarded to at least first and second place in each division. Sponsors will be sought to raise funds for attractive prize money. Pulling will be in the arena at the fairgrounds. A hay rope will be loaned by the Shell Lake Schools. Pullers can wear boots with ordinary cleats — no football or aggressive cleats will be allowed. Gloves may be (Sept. 22, 29, Oct. 6, 13, 20, 27) STATE OF WISCONSIN worn and any back brace

STATE OF WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO REISSUE A WISCONSIN POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (WPDES) PERMIT No. WI-0063029-02-0 Permittee: Legacy Farms LLC, W8659 Woodyard Road, Shell Lake, WI 54871 Facility Where Discharge Occurs: Legacy Farms LLC, N1845 S. Heart Lake Road, Shell Lake, WI Receiving Water and Location: The groundwater of the North Fork of the Clam River watershed in the St. Croix River drainage basin, Washburn County Brief Facility Description and Summary of Proposed Changes: Legacy Farms, LLC is an existing dairy farm located in southern Washburn County with 625 milking and dry cows and 510 replacement animals totaling 1,379 Animal Units (AU). The AUs maintained at a facility are calculated by multiplying the total number of animals by the appropriate animal equivalency factor specified in s. NR 243.05 Table 2, Wis. Administrative Code. The dairy has no plans to expand during this permit term. The dairy consists of three facilities: Calves and heifers are housed at the Home Farm in three barns, have access to two outdoor lots and limited access to an eight-acre vegetative area. The milking herd, dry cows and freshening heifers are housed at the Main/North Barns Facility in three barns. The heifers have access to a lot and limited access to a 12-acre vegetative area. Heifers are also kept at the N. Woodyard Road Feedlot with access to a concrete feed pad, earthen lot with mounds and limited access to a 40-acre vegetative area. There are also a parlor, milk house, and a variety of feed storage areas and sheds. Approximately 8,900,000 gallons of manure are produced each year; of this about 783,000 gallons stays on the vegetative areas. Depending on the time of year, the rest is spread immediately or stored in one of three manure storage facilities that hold a total of 4,544,000 gallons or six months of storage. Manure is land applied for fertilizer value on 800 acres annually (1,467 acres is available in their Nutrient Management Plan). The size of the operation exceeds 1,000 AU as defined in s. NR 243 Wis Administrative Code, therefore, the facility is regulated by a WPDES permit. The permit will contain language which specifies minimum standards for storage and spreading manure as well as feedlot runoff control; all in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service specifications. The Department has tentatively decided that the above-specified WPDES permit should be issued for a duration of five years with an expiration date of December 31, 2015. Permit Drafter: Sheri A.

The forwarder gathers the logs in the woods and brings them into the landing. The large flotation tires will do less damage to the forest floor.

Wrapping up the old, planning for the new

by Diane Dryden SPOONER — It seems like only a few weeks ago everyone was buying plants in 4-inch pots and picking out garden seeds. Now that it’s autumn, and for the most part the growing season is over, it’s fun to look back a few months to see how the various individual garden schemes played out. Decisions are already being made as to what to grow or change next year. “It wasn’t a year for perennials necessarily,” states Linda Berger, who along with her husband Jim owns and operates the Yellow River Gardens west of Spooner on Hwy. 70. “There were so many clever annuals this year, like the popcorn plant whose leaves smelled like buttered popcorn when rubbed and the cool water plant and the lime-leafed lily. We also found that planting in containers was very trendy this summer. Many people who came to our gardens were interested in creating their own potted designs, often starting with one or two of our pottery containers. “We have a very artsy group who buy from us and they enjoy blurring the lines between pretty maidens all in a row and the avant-garde that honors texture, height and space plants together.” The Yellow River Gardens themselves are nestled into nature with a series of public greenhouses melting into the woods and water farther on that were originally part of a significant farm. Once again this year the individual greenhouses were filled with over 400 varieties of perennials and herbs, not to mention the plethora of beautiful and unique annuals. “This year seemed to be more about addressing the hardscapes, like patios and decks where containers were used to help soften the area. Everyone also kept

year’s creative garden influence thanks to Berger. “I’m introducing some new colors into next year’s greenhouse structural displays. 2011 will be the year of peacock blue, tomato red and yellow. You’ll see touches of those three colors throughout the entire garden structures.” The Bergers have some space available Lynn Hubin’s creative use of part of an old barn, including the shutter windows, above, and door, top right, in her garden, placed her in the winner’s cir- for anyone interested in marketing a product that would fit hand-in-glove cle. — Photos by Diane Dryden with what the garden offers - perhaps things simple this year.” chines and clever garden art. antiques, food, arts like weaving or It seemed to be a minimalist year in This year’s winners for the month of glassworks. “Even an art gallery would many facets of life from clothing to home May were Judy Ullom, Nancy Newman be fun,” she says. décor to gardens for both the old cus- and Pat Pesko The space is approximately 40 by 65 tomers and lots of new customers.
