The county board and subcommittees sometimes have closed sessions during meetings, to which the public is not invited, to discuss land sale negotiations, union issues, employee performance or disciplinary matters, or financial, medical or personal issues of an employee. In the past, the county’s policy has allowed only certain people in these sessions, excluding board supervisors not on the committee. A recently created policy, B-19, would allow any supervisor who wished to participate in these sessions, except for governing boards or committees conducting union contract negotiations and union business, unless the supervisor is a member of the committee or

County board discusses reducing its size

An incredible undertaking See page 13

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – The Washburn County Board discussed a possible reduction in members at a meeting Tuesday, Oct. 19, in the Elliott Building, Shell Lake.

The board has 21 districts, and therefore 21 supervisors. In the past, the board has brought up the possibility of reducing its size, but opted to wait on any decision making until after the 2010 census data comes back, as that is a good time to look at redistricting, changing the district maps.

At an executive committee meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 12, it was said that census information will be coming back to the county in early 2011, so the board will need to make a decision on its size by April, for adoption in May. Tuesday night, Chair Steve Sather said that the board is under a timetable for spring to redistrict if they opt to do so.

He said that supervisors have told him that if the board doesn’t reduce its size itself, citizens might end up voting on a number that is unworkable.

Administrative Coordinator/Finance Director Mike Keefe said that the board actually has 10 years, until the next census, to redistrict, as it can be done through petition or board approval.

Supervisor Bob Washkuhn suggested 15 supervisors, and mentioned that with a reduction, there would have to be subcommittee restructuring.

Supervisor Greg Krantz said, “How about a straw-pull vote to see if there’s enough in favor of reducing the size?”

First Vice Chair Don Quinton said he has heard lots of talk from members of the public on the board being too large.

He said the former corporation counsel told the board the public can petition to have its own vote on a supervisor district number.

“They can arbitrarily determine a

number for us,” Quinton said. “It is on their mind.”

If the vote passes, “we’re stuck,” he added.

Quinton said the board needs to do some research, and he had a different number in mind.

Supervisor Micheal Bobin said, “I do not oppose reducing the county board.”

However, Bobin asked if this reduction would be done to save money or to provide better service for citizens.

Quinton said that a reduction in board size would mean a “smaller, more costefficient, effective government.”

Supervisor Tom Mackie asked, “If it’s not broke, why fix it?”

Bobin said that if the board size is reduced but the number of subcommittees isn’t as well, they will be putting supervisors on more committees.

Quinton said he also hears that the public feels supervisors aren’t well-informed, to which Bobin said these supervisors choose not to be.

Supervisor Beth Esser said that if the board is too small, “you’re going to have limited people.” Those with full-time jobs will not be able to take on the responsibility of attending so many meetings, going back to Bobin’s comment about supervisors having to sit on more committees, and she said only retired people could put in that amount of time, and there could be discrimination.

Supervisor Dan Hubin suggested holding off on a decision until the census data returned. Sather then reminded the board that the timetable is April 12, and Keefe added that the board needs to make a decision beforehand because the county clerk gets the data in April and the board must have a public hearing on the matter before making a decision at May’s meeting. Keefe said they should have a decision by March at the latest.

Hubin asked why redistricting was so

important to do in 2010-11 if it can still be done within the next 10 years. He said the county could see a higher population later.

Mackie asked, “What’s wrong with 21?”

Bobin said he agreed that citizens will make a decision if the board does not, and they must be prepared for this, as the public wants a smaller board.

Sather said the public feels now is the logical time to make any changes, and mentioned that the board can suggest a number for the county clerk before she divides the maps. Keefe added that they should set a number that makes sense for conducting the business of the county.

Supervisor Nell Lee asked how Washburn County’s board size compares to others. Keefe replied that he did not know the average number for comparable size, but the state average is 23 supervisors on a board.

Shell Lake Mayor Sally Peterson was sponsored to speak, and said that her city council had looked into a reduction of its eight seats in the past.

“Both times, it was voted down,” Peterson said.

Unless it is mandated, she said, she feels reduction means giving control to a smaller group of fewer representatives, more meetings to attend and less people interested in running for office.

Supervisor Tim Brabec said that if the size is reduced, it could mean less mileage for those coming from the northern part of the county.

Bobin, who represents the Minong village in northern Washburn County, said that he could see a problem with fewer representing those municipalities.

“Our interests are completely different,” he said.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes raises funds, awareness Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter held the first local Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event Saturday, Oct. 16, at the Spooner High School track.

October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, and the international march asks men to walk one mile in women’s shoes, to raise awareness of and stop rape, sexual assault and domestic violence while raising funds for the shelter and Washburn County services. There was a large turnout of men and women from around northwestern Wisconsin at the track that morning, and $3,600 was raised. Some of the men donned high heels to walk around the SHS track Saturday morning, to support women who have experienced domestic violence. – Photo by Regan Kohler

WPT to present final Wisconsin gubernatorial debate

Streamed live on WisconsinVote.org

STATEWIDE - Wisconsin Public Television will present the final televised debate with the two major candidates for the state’s governor’s office. The We the People: 2010 Gubernatorial Debate will feature Democrat Tom Barrett and Republican Scott Walker. It will air at 7 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 29, and will be co-anchored

by WPT’s Frederica Freyberg and Eric Franke from WISC-TV. Wisconsin Public Radio’s statewide Ideas Network and MPTV in Milwaukee will also air the debate live. The debate will be streamed live at WisconsinVote.org.

Freyberg will be joined by a panel of Wisconsin citizens in the Madison studio and in remote studios in La Crosse and Wausau to question the two candidates about the important issues in the race, which will be settled in an election on Nov. 2.

Barrett is currently the mayor of Milwaukee and previously served in the Wisconsin state Legislature and United

The Washburn County Board of Supervisors met Oct. 19.

Mike Keefe, the administrator/coordinator, presented the preliminary 2011 budget that was prepared by the finance committee.

The tax levy portion of the budget will be the same as last year, which Dan Hubin, was $10,499,564. supervisor, Keefe explained District 21 this does not mean a person’s county taxes will not go up. He explained property values have decreased in some areas, therefore: taxpayers may have to pay more in 2011. The state statutes require a public hearing be held for the proposed budget prior to the county board voting on it. This hearing will be held at 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 4. I strongly encourage you to attend. I will not be able to attend, since I have Wisconsin County Forest Association meeting the Nov. 3-5 in Wausau.

We also discussed the possibility of reducing the size of the Washburn

There are currently 21 supervisory districts. Many people believe this is too many and should be reduced. This has been discussed on several occasions by the board of supervisors, and this issue will be further researched by the roles and responsibility committee. If you have any suggestions or opinions on this subject, please contact me.

Mike Peterson, Washburn County forestry administrator, gave a presentation concerning the establishment of a Web site for recreational activities operated by Washburn County. We currently have three campgrounds and do not have any reasonable way for visitors to make reservations. With this Web site, the county could take reservations and payment could be made via credit card. This would not only be convenient for the customer, but for the management of the campground. This process is in the preliminary stages, but should be operational by the summer of 2011.

The board also discussed the openmeeting law and who may be present during closed sessions of the meetings.

There appeared to be some confusion on this procedure, and we will have an expert attend our next meeting to explain the open-meeting law.

Bobin said this is a hard situation, but he feels individual supervisors are elected to serve their own district. Quinton then said he felt they were elected to serve the entire county.

Supervisor Robert Lester asked how many people would be willing to work longer hours for low pay.

“You’re not going to get people that are able to do that,” he said.

Second Vice Chair Clay Halverson said he has been a longtime proponent of cutting the board size, as it would be more cost efficient. He said there would still be the same representation.

“I don’t see anything wrong with going as low as 11,” he said.

Halverson said that some members could plan for certain meeting days off at work, and then all meetings could be scheduled for one day.

Lester said this has been tried in the past, and he has seen cliques take over and wrong decisions made.

“I’ve seen it happen,” he said.

Halverson noted that he’s seen wrong decisions made with 21 supervisors.

Keefe suggested having the county’s roles and responsibilities ad hoc committee do a survey.

Barbara Love, Stinnett, was sponsored to speak, and she asked where supervi-

sors were hearing that the public wants a smaller board. Bobin said that he has heard it on the streets in his district, though the case may be different in Love’s township. Quinton then mentioned that UW-Extension did a report on strategic planning which mentioned the public would like a smaller board.

A vote was taken, in which more than half the supervisors said they would support a reduction. Since the matter was only up for discussion and no action, Sather said he would bring back a formal motion at a later date.

Meanwhile, the county’s roles & responsibilities ad hoc committee was made active again. Originally created to work on a code of ethics for the board, the committee will now be looking at redistricting and a possible size reduction of the board. The committee met Monday, Oct. 25, at the courthouse, where Sather said he found that Douglas County’s board went from 28 to 17, and Price County went from 21 to 15, and he noted there are “lots of headaches” there. He said Sawyer County operates with 15, and another county is holding a referendum on a size change.

The committee will continue to meet monthly.

High Tunnel Webinar series starts Nov. 1

SPOONER - UW-Extension will be hosting a three-part webinar series on pest management in high tunnels Monday, Nov. 1, Wednesday, Nov. 3, and Monday, Nov. 8, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in room 162-163 at the Burnett County Government Center. High tunnels are plastic-covered structures intended to extend the growing season allowing growing of fresh produce to start earlier and continue later in the season. There is no cost to attend the webinars; however, participants must preregister by calling the Spooner Area UW-Extension ag agents office at 800-528-1914 or 715-635-3506.

The topic on Monday, Nov 1, will be an overview of high-tunnel production practices including an introduction to pest management. The series continues on Wednesday, Nov. 3, with an in-depth discussion on pest management of tomatoes grown in high tunnels. The third webinar on Monday, Nov. 8, will cover pest management in winter crops grown in high tunnels.

According to Kevin Schoessow, area ag development agent for UW-Extension and webinar facilitator, this webinar series brings the experience of leading university specialists and growers from across the Upper Midwest to participants in northwestern Wisconsin. Webinars are live, interactive, distance education seminars broadcast over the Internet using the latest computer technology.

Participants will have the ability to ask questions to the presenters.

There will be two more webinars on Tuesday, Nov. 16, and Thursday, Nov. 18.

The topics for these will be on nutrient and water management in high tunnels and cost-share guidelines for high tunnels. These webinars are scheduled from noon until 1 p.m.

by Gary King NORTHWEST WISCONSIN Gary Kauther is on the ballot as an Independent in Tuesday’s general election - seeking the seat being vacated by longtime 7th District Congressman Dave Obey.

His opponents - Democrat Julie Lassa and Republican Sean Duffy - were profiled in last week’s Register.

Kauther, 50, is a retired small-business owner from Poplar, near Superior. He attended WITC and UW-Superior after graduating from Northwestern High School. He graduated from UWS with honors in 1981. He’s married with three children - two grown sons and a daughter in law school.

His experience includes jobs as a farmer, nightclub manager, bartender, state grain inspector, railroad welder and U.S. Air Force aircraft mechanic. In 1999 he established G & T Sanitation and sold it 10 years later to Waste Management.

“I decided to enter the race because I feel I’m the only candidate with the real world experience needed to handle the job,” Kauther stated. “I’m also the only military veteran in the race and only candidate that has actually signed both sides of a paycheck.”

The Fair Tax Kauther said he supports the fair tax legislation.

“The 54 co-sponsors, myself, 80 of America’s top academic and private-sector economists, as well as many informed voters all feel the Fair Tax can erase the national deficit without raising taxes,” he said. “That’s because, for the first time, everyone but the truly poor will be paying taxes. It’s like insurance, the premiums go down when the group gets bigger. You must remember, the Fair Tax replaces the entire U.S. tax code.

That’s over 35 other taxes people won’t be paying. Over 36 - 60 months the revenue generated from a true national sales tax on all new goods and services will balance the budget and erase the national debt if we can keep spending in line with growth.”

Obama’s health care plan “Nobody read the ObamaCare legislation,” Kauther said. “I’d break it into sections, have my staff work overtime, write me an overview, and go forward from

there.”

Kauther said he could support repeal of ObamaCare.

“I’d like to see a 36-month investigation by 2,000 qualifed people in each state concerning fraud, waste, duplication of services, double and triple billing, collusion between insurers and health-care providers, scam artists, Internet rip-offs etc.,” Kauther noted. “If we take several trillion dollars of those costs out of the system we may find affordable premiums for most people would result. ObamaCare was insurance reform, not health care reform.”

Business climate Kauther said if the U.S. enacted the Fair Tax, 100 of the largest Fortune 500 companies said they’d relocate their factories, $11.2 trillion of offshore profits, plus millions of jobs back to America.

“That’s because the current tax code says they can keep all profits from offshore operations and not pay taxes on that money, unless it’s returned to the U.S.,” he said. “Think Coca-Cola - its international businesses far outweigh domestic operations. When Coca-Cola needs money for expansion it goes to Wall Street or international bond markets to finance growth or debt. Why? Interest on the bonds is 4.5 percent. Corporate and capital gains taxes are 39 percent. It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you that taxing income versus spending is a dumb idea in this day and age. That’s true of individuals and corporations.

We’d all be better off if America’s largest companies did business and hired people in the United States again.”

Although it’s more of a state than federal issue, Kauther said he would support consolidation and efficiency in public schools.

“I also believe we should make much greater use of the world’s largest library - the Internet,” Kauther noted. “E-books should replace costly and old-fashioned textbooks. We need to get away from the idea that fancy campuses educate children. As for funding, I think schools should be allowed large latitude to fund themselves. As a federal officeholder I can only do so much but I would certainly encourage wide latitude for local school districts to innovate without federal penalties.”

Who are Karen Nord, Trudy Schmidt, Lois Hoff and Karen Baker?

Other local contests on the Nov. 2 ballot

by Gregg Westigard, Leader staff writer NORTHWEST WISCONSIN – It’s time for area voters to decide if some department heads are doing a good job running their offices. While most county department heads report to and are evaluated by governing committees and administrators, elected officials report to the voters every four years. The voters (you) decide if these people are meeting expectations and should keep their jobs.

This year the voters are reviewing the past performance of clerks of court and in Washburn County, the coroner. (Sheriffs are also on the ballot, but that office has received some publicity.) Up for reelection are three clerks of court, Karen Nord (Democrat) in Washburn County, Trudy Schmidt (Democrat) in Burnett County and Lois Hoff (Republican) in Polk County. Karen Baker (Republican) is running for re-election as Washburn County coroner [Burnett and Polk have replaced the position with an appointed medical examiner]. All four are running

unopposed.

Clerks of court run the offices that support the district courts. Each manages a large budget and staff ($900,000 a year and 13 employees in Polk, for instance).

Each is running for a four-year term.

Each earns a salary of about $50,000 per year plus benefits. Their salaries are set for the next four years and cannot be changed during their terms of office.

The coroner investigates unusual deaths and signs cremation permits.

All four want to continue doing their jobs.

Letters to the editor

Sheriff’s race rebuttal

I wish to clarify and rebut some of the information in last week’s Register sheriff candidate profiles.

First of all, party endorsement was at the beginning of each profile, I am a Democrat with party endorsement, but feel very strongly that the sheriff office is not political, nor should it be.

I believe in transparency of the department finances. I will ask the auditor to provide details of current and previous year’s department finances to the public and the board.

During my interview with the Register, an auditor’s report was presented with recommendations about two sepa-

rate unaudited accounts. My concern is accepting funds from individuals where money is spent without the board’s knowledge or approval. With a budget of over $3 million, I will encourage all donors to donate to a local cause supporting their communities. Public disclosure of thousands of dollars in donations should not be a problem in government — especially in law enforcement Unions are essential in assuring professional standards are being met and employees are treated fairely. I will never ask the union to renegotiate a current contract, but I will ask the personnel committee to consider the overtime issue

during the next round of negotiations.

How do I find time to campaign? I have saved and taken vacation time with my department so I can finish this campaign. I am not campaigning at the taxpayer’s expense.

I am asking for your vote on Nov. 2 to allow me to use my 22 years of law enforcement experience for the people of Washburn County. I will stay in Washburn County if elected your next sheriff.

summoned by the board as a witness or complainant.

In the past, the closed-session policy has come under fire because supervisors have felt there is a need for any to be involved, since they are officials elected by the public to make decisions for the county.

Tuesday night, during public comment, Barbara Love, Stinnett, said she had a concern about the new policy. Love, who sat on the county board for 12 years, said her most important concern about the policy was that though all supervisors are elected to their positions, they are not permitted to go into certain meetings.

“All of them should be allowed to go in,” Love said.

Love said that when she was on the board, she attempted to go into a closed session and was denied access, even though she was chair of the committee involved in the session. She also said she did not like how some county employees are reprimanded, and alleged that in some closed sessions, the person was treated like a criminal, with chairs pushed against the door.

“We should set a better standard,” she said. “Don’t go overboard.”

Love said this is discrimination and if anyone wished to contact her she would give specific examples of these cases. She told the board that if it didn’t straighten up, she would be back, and mentioned that she was looking directly at a supervisor she felt was guilty of the things she spoke to.

When the policy came up for discussion on the agenda, Supervisor Dan Hubin said that all supervisors have the same responsibility, and keeping some supervisors out of closed sessions on any issue other than a personal conflict is a violation of their rights.

“We are elected to inform our constituents of what is going on,” Hubin said.

Closed sessions are meant to keep quiet what is said, and how the person says it, he said, but when it comes to contracts, “every supervisor is entitled to know what is going on.”

Hubin said the resolution to implement policy B-19 was not applicable.

Second Vice Chair Clay Halverson said the old policy, which was created in 2008, “was much more restricted as to who could attend.” He said the personnel committee looked at expanding the policy and decided a new one would afford more opportunities for supervisors, and only limit exclusion to a small type of issue, or by a two-thirds vote of the members in on the session to prevent a supervisor from sitting in.

“This is an expansion of the policy that was in effect,” Halverson said.

Supervisor Micheal Bobin said that Hubin was saying it is the supervisors’ job to inform the public of what’s happening, but “there are specific exemptions under Wisconsin statutes” when it comes to union and staff issues.

Supervisor Bob Washkuhn asked administrative coordinator/finance director Mike Keefe to explain the closed session definition. He said he thought it meant those in on the sessions would be keeping the information gleaned from those meetings to themselves, but people are known to discuss the matters outside of these sessions.

Keefe said that there are specific reasons “for discussions that should not be open government.” He said there is often no enforcement of the statutes to penalize anyone who does talk about the closed session outside of it until it becomes defamatory and is personnel-related. However, Keefe said, supervisors should honor the intent.

Hubin said that a vote on closed session matters is required to be made in open session, and Washburn County is not good at doing this. He said that a reason for closed session has to be listed on the agenda and posted. Closed sessions are to allow supervisors to speak freely and let their opinions be known without it being reported upon but the public needs to know the outcome, he said. Also, Hubin said, it is important if a supervisor wants to hear about contracts or if, for example, a family member works

for the county and wants a pay raise.

Hubin said that he knows there are things that arise in which there should be closed sessions, but excluding supervisors from personnel and union-related issues is ridiculous.

Keefe said, “I don’t entirely agree with the notion that every time you come out of a closed session, action … should be taken.”

Once a land sale deal is done, he said, it is fine to discuss it in open session, but personnel issues are different. In land sale negotiations, for example, Keefe said, the committee would not want the seller to know how much the county is willing to pay, for example, until the deal is done.

Supervisor Jim Dohm said that closed sessions should be for discussion purposes only.

Supervisor Beth Esser said it was her understanding that votes need to be made in open session.

“I see a lot of confusion here,” she said.

Keefe said the county needs clarification on motions made in or out of closed session.

The board moved to table the policy until they got more information and Supervisor Tim Brabec mentioned that he had a source at UW-Extension who could assist the county.

Other resolutions approved Tuesday night were: • Creation of an ordinance dealing with business signs in county highway right of way, with approval from the highway and dam committees • Revision of policy B-1 regarding administration of employee personnel records The board heard Keefe’s monthly report, which included 2011 budget information and reports on the forestry reservation booking program, subcommittees and discussion of board size reduction (see other article). Chair appointments and comments were also made.

The Wisconsin Prevention and Control Program, Wisconsin Lions Foundation and American Diabetes Association Wisconsin area office have partnered to share this important message during National Diabetes Awareness Month in November.

“This is important news for people affected by diabetes,” said Leah Ludlum, RN, BSN, CDE, director of the Wisconsin Diabetes Prevention and Control Program. “Diabetes is a serious disease.

Managing the disease is not easy, but the benefits are worth the effort. People need to work to keep their blood glucose as close to normal as is safe for them, what is called their target range, to reduce their chance of serious health problems.”

Most people, especially those who have just been diagnosed, should aim for an AIC less than seven. Everyone’s target range is different, so people with diabetes should talk with their health-care

team about what blood glucose targets are safe. Those who have had diabetes for a long time, other health problems, or problems with low blood sugar, may have an AIC target higher than seven.

Also, keeping blood pressure and cholesterol under control can lower risk for heart attacks and other diabetes complications.

Making a plan can be the first step to managing diabetes. People should pick things they want to do and be realistic.

For example, a plan focused on making better food choices might be to skip second helpings, drink water rather than soda or fruit juice, choose fruits or vegetables as a snack and make an appointment to see a dietitian. People should ask others for help with their plan.

Shell Lake Lions Club news

Lions concentrate on diabetes prevention in November

Managing diabetes is not easy, but it’s worth it. People can have lasting benefits from early diabetes control. The Lions of District 27-E1 in north central Wisconsin is backing diabetes prevention for the month of November.

There’s good new about diabetes. People who keep their blood glucose as close to normal as possible in the early years after they are diagnosed with the disease have fewer problems with their eyes, nerves and kidneys, and have fewer heart attacks later in life.

Let it rain

by Diane Dryden

SHELL LAKE – If things keep going the way they are, Shell Lake will be soon be known for their bio and eco diversity as well as for all the new shops and businesses in town.

Mary Ellen Ryall was first to create an eco habitat several years ago through her organization, Happy Tonics, by implementing a restored native tallgrass prairie on land north of the city along the highway. This habitat not only benefited the monarch butterfly, by replicating the native plants that would have been growing when Wisconsin was first discovered, but also demonstrated that natives are still important because “They live with or without us and need no care at all while providing natural land for the monarch as it wings its way to Mexico each year.”

There is another area, this one owned by the DNR - but permission has been given to Happy Tonics, Ryall’s organization, whose name comes from the idea that happiness is a tonic. Behind the industrial park that already has wide and winding trails throughout that lead through cedar groves and stands of birch with elderberry and sumac in abundance is a beautiful bird and butterfly sanctuary. The prairie part of the land is replete with milkweed - the host plant for the monarchs - fiddlehead fern, bergamot, hazelnuts, and so many other native species like smart weed, blazing stars, wild asters and strawberries and vetch and fleabane. This is the land where Happy Tonics will be leading tours next year on several wild edible jaunts where plants will be picked and eaten on the spot or later when they are brewed; cedar tea for example, that is made by steeping cedar fronds in hot water, or processed or used for medicine. Every project Ryall does has the main goal of honoring the land and its pollinators, the bees and butterflies. “Without them there would be no crops or plants at all. Many people still do not realize that butterflies are the second best pollinator

There’s a new rain garden just north of the community center that is 90 percent finished. All that’s needed are the native plants tucked into the bio-cell at the bottom of the project. right behind the bee.” To aid local tour groups next year, Dennis Schraufnagel has made signs for the native plants in this new area which have tile tops attached to 2-foot cedar posts, the height of each will make the sign readable without having to bend to the ground.

Dave Vold, lake coordinator for Shell Lake has found a second career also honoring the land and the water. He has been the originator of many projects, all created with his focus on keeping Shell Lake as pristine as possible, some of it by using the land surrounding it as a giant filter or better named, a buffer system. After the placing of the diversion pipe, successful finally in 2003, there was a long-term study of the lake created to see how the pipe affected both the lake and the Yellow River, which is four and a half miles away, and into which the lake water was diverted by the pipe when the lake was high. Every year the technical oversight committee meets to assess projects that will benefit the lake in the ongoing of the lake protection project.

In 2009 a wet pond area was created between the industrial park and the lake in order to catch, retain and clean the storm sewer system’s water. The area was carefully chosen for the installation of two claylined wet ponds, both having to be dug because the area was originally flat land.

These ponds eventually drain into a large

dry pond in order to rid the storm water of impurities before it filters into the ground water which then seeps into the lake.

Building on the success of the industrial park project in 2009, this year’s project was a rain garden located directly north of the community center. There has always been an abundance of rainwater that torrents down from the large parking area in front of the center down into the campground and then into the lake creating a washout area in the campground. Worse yet, it carries with it the old asphalt debris and chemicals so in order to clean the water before it hits the lake, a 50- by 60-foot rain garden is being installed. Its retention pool at the bottom is actually called a bio-cell. In technical terms, a rain garden is a planted depression that allows rainwater runoff from impervious areas like roofs, driveways, walkways and parking lots the opportunity to be absorbed. This reduces the runoff by allowing storm water to soak into the ground instead of flowing into storm drains and surface waters, which causes erosion, water pollution, flooding and diminished groundwater. Rain gardens can cut down on the amount of pollution reaching creeks, lakes and streams up to 30 percent. Once again the theory is the same for cleaning the runoff. The old asphalt has now been removed from the area and a new driveway into the campground

is being shaped which will feature a retaining wall on one side and it is large enough to accommodate the oversized RVs that are so popular with modern campers. The dirt between the driveway and the center was then prepared for the sod grass which has already been placed at the top of and completely surrounding the large bio-cell at the base of the garden where the water runoff will be captured. In the cell there is a special mixture containing 20 percent of organic matter like leaves, 50 percent sand and 30 percent top soil which is covered by matting. This area will be planted in native grasses, herbs and flowers next spring to filter out any impurities before the water drains into the lake. There is a rock spillway at the very end of the rain garden facing the campground in case there is unprecedented rain. Rain gardens do not require fertilizer and the native plants are more tolerant of the local climate and attract local wildlife such as birds. The plants take up excess water flowing into the garden through their root systems which enhance infiltration, maintain or even augment soil permeability, provide moisture redistribution and return water vapor to the atmosphere.

This new rain garden is located next to the original buffer system prototype that stands between the back of the pavilion and the lake which was another Vold initiative. It was planted as an example for lake home owners so they could do the same since several years ago when the lake went down dramatically it had taken much, if not all, of the native grasses and trees with it that were between the homes and the lake. Owners were encouraged to take advantage of a program that virtually paid for everything, plants and labor, in order for them to replant their own buffer systems on their property, buffering the lake from the land to purify the water running from their yards into the lake.

That makes five bio and eco-diverse projects of which Shell Lake can boast along with the new shops and businesses. There are several other enticing projects under way making this little town a city on the move to a successful tomorrow no matter which way you look at it.

WITC holds community listening forum

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – The Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College held a community listening forum at its Shell Lake branch Monday, Oct. 25, to hear input for the college’s next strategic planning process.

WITC Vice President of Administrative Services John Will said the next strategic plan will be for 2012-15.

WITC President Bob Meyers said the college engaged in a plan two years ago, and are starting the next one already because “we really wanted to get a fast start on strategic planning.” Last year, all WITC branches, which make up 11 counties, held forums for their staff, students and businesses and community members. Meyers said there were over 1,000 comments brought forth at that time.

“They were very good, very constructive, and helpful,” he said.

The college hopes to categorize and create goals out of these listening sessions, and people can submit them verbally at forums, online or written.

Meyers gave examples of some implementations that came out of previous suggestions, such as creation of an energy technician program to support green technology, an associates degree program for human services at the Superior branch, and a dental assistant pro-

Time to vote

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.” ~ Samuel Adams Adams, cousin to John Adams our second president, was one of this nation’s Founding Fathers.

As a statesman from Suzanne colonial MassachuJohnson setts, he was a leader of the movement that became the American Revolution.

Although women organized, petitioned and picketed, starting in the 1800s, it took decades for them to get

gram in Rice Lake. Meyers said they internally reviewed WITC processes and recommitted to a student satisfaction survey. The cost of some textbooks also went down, as there were many complaints about the high prices. Meyers said new avenues for purchasing textbooks were launched last year – students can still buy them new in the bookstore, but they can also rent them or buy them used and return them to the company after they are finished.

“Those are just a few snapshots of how we use the feedback,” Meyers said.

According to a Washington Monthly study, WITC ranked sixth best among two-year colleges in the nation.

“We’re the only college in the country that’s stayed in the top 10 ranking,” Meyers said of this distinction.

Technical college graduates are still able to find jobs upon graduating, despite the tough economy, Meyers said, because there is a high need for people in these fields, and there is always a high demand for more graduates.

Members of the public commented Monday afternoon on what they’d like to see. The following are some of the suggestions made: • Washburn County has an aging community, and there will soon be a greater demand for people in the home care and senior citizen health care fields. the right to vote. The 19th Amendment to our Constitution granting women the right to vote was passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and ratified on Aug. 18, 1920.

Will you be exercising your right to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 2?

I’m sure many are growing weary of the advertisements, the political surveys and unsolicited phone calls. I find that I, too, am tuning out the TV campaign ads. One day I noted that I thought the political candidate was approving the message for the pizza commercial that caught my attention.

In the movie, “You’ve Got Mail,” Meg Ryan’s character is dating a guy who comments he couldn’t be with anyone that didn’t take politics as seriously as he does. She confesses that she didn’t vote in the last mayor election because she went to get a manicure and forgot.

He stated he would forgive her. As the story continues, they break up.

Some people enjoy politics, and some don’t. Here in the United States of America we still have the right to cast our ballot for the person of our choice.

As I asked before, will you be exercising your right to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 2?

• WITC could partner with economic development corporations to help create jobs for unemployed people.

• There is a need for financial planning courses, as many young people do not understand budgeting concepts.

• There is a high demand for nanny training, which is different from child care, since often people cannot take jobs that involve extensive travel due to having to care for their young children.

• The college could look at retention of students in programs, as many often drop out after finding out their career path may not be what they wanted, and educate them more on what the courses require.

• Technology plays a major part in jobs these days, so WITC should keep up with the changes and provide education on how to market themselves through social networks like Facebook or YouTube.

• With coming Environmental Protection Agency crackdowns promoting environmentally friendly living, the college could integrate green technology education more in all programs.

• Students may need child care, and WITC could look into offering a center for parents to drop off their children while they take classes.

• WITC should offer literacy classes for Spanish speakers, and for employers so they can better assist those who speak the language.

• Customer service classes are needed.

• Application and testing fees could be waived or financial assistance given for low-income students who qualify.

• WITC should offer work-study programs like the high school does.

• WITC needs to plan for long-term fiscal stability in its districts.

• There is a need for more continuing education, for retirees.

Meyers and Will addressed a number of these comments. Regarding the aging community, Meyers said Washburn County has a significant difference in its aging population from some of the other counties WITC serves.

Regarding collaboration with economic development, Meyers said this was mentioned in last year’s goals, as in terms of recruitment there will be a high need for those graduates coming out of technical colleges. Millions of baby boomers are retiring, Meyers said, and some places have an ongoing need for employees.

“I don’t think that need is going to go away,” he said. “I think we’re positioned well.”

Meyers said the issue of people 30 and under not having a good grasp on financial planning is perplexing, and this was-

n’t the first time he’d heard about this challenge. Spooner High School Principal Bob Kinderman commented on this, saying area schools initiated an excellent program through the Indianhead Credit Union that simulates adult living and its costs for high school students. Kinderman said SHS is working harder to promote the vocational tech classes, as well.

One audience member brought up a fact he’d heard, about people nowadays listing cellular phones and iPads as the one tool they cannot live without, when 10 years ago it was an automobile. Meyers said that keeping up with technology is a constant, and even e-mail is considered old-fashioned for networking these days. He said WITC will be working more on classes teaching people how to use technology as marketing’s new tool, though one has to be careful as it can isolate the person in terms of social development.

With the major question both this time and last year being about environmental education, Meyers told the audience that Shell Lake’s WITC recently installed a rain garden, and Will said they will be integrating more green learning into programs such as architectural commercial design. Meyers said WITC looked at how many “green” jobs there will be in this area in the future. He noted that there is a generational difference when it comes to this subject, as young people are very interested in this concept.

Meyers mentioned that with the rise in gas prices, and the average WITC student traveling 32 miles one way for course work, they are trying to work on more online courses, though some will always require hands-on training.

“Travel’s a very big challenge, I think, for our students,” Meyers said.

In answer to the question about student retention, it was said that WITC is retaining about 58-61 percent of its students, with very high rates from those who have declared majors. Will said that many may not go through the sequence of years to complete their degrees, due to work or parenting, and it was mentioned that not all students are completing degrees, but may be there to brush up on skills or explore.

Meyers said the career path notion is a national focus, and universities often have a lower percentage of student retention compared to technical schools.

He said colleges also see a higher number these days of students coming in undecided about majors.

“They’re still exploring,” he said.

Therefore, WITC is working to make students aware of the choices available.

Teachers are a prime influence, as well as parents, when it comes to helping students decide on postsecondary education, and Meyers said getting teachers and guidance counselors to visit WITC and other technical colleges, to learn more about what they offer, is a great idea.

McNulty works for the LCO Hertel tribal offices. She is interested in planting native wildflowers around the tribal buildings in Hertel. She is now able to collaborate with Happy Tonics and LCO in Hayward for leads in how to obtain work-study students and interns to assist with this project.

THANK YOU

All of us at Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter and the Washburn County Outreach office would like to thank everyone who helped make Walk A Mile In Her Shoes a huge success.

We are grateful for donations from the following sponsors who made this event possible: Spooner Chamber of Commerce, Jack-O’-Lantern Festival, Campbell’s Country Store, WGMO, Spooner Advocate, Washburn County Register, Schmitz’s Economart, Wal-Mart, Indianhead Flower Shoppe, Spooner School District, Ventures Unlimited Thrift and Gift, St. Vincent DePaul Thrift and Gift, Goodwill Industries and Washburn County Coordinated Com524253 10r munity Response team.

Mary Ellen Ryall wins LCOOCC Outstanding Alumni Award. — Photos submitted ron County, Rice Lake campus, was attended by Ryall and Rochelle Becker, a Happy Tonics volunteer. Thayer is the author of “The Forager’s Harvest” and “Nature’s Garden.” For the final class, students brought in wild edibles that were cleaned, prepared and added to the community soup pot. They drank hazelnut milk, ate wild fried parsnips and tossed fiddlehead ferns, puffball mushrooms and chopped dandelion roots into the soup pot. For dessert, there was black nightshade berry

— some used to think it was poisonous — topping on cheesecake. The meal was fun and delicious. Every student in the class contributed to making a success of the program. Happy Tonics plans to start one of the first Wild Edibles Club’s in the United States in Shell Lake in the spring of 2011. Many students of Thayer’s class are interested in being members of the club.

NOTE: I stand to be corrected about shipping tall bluestem native grass from Happy Tonics online store.

Recently I spoke with Dave Vold, of Shell Lake City Hall. He suggested we not ship the seed because it may not be a native plant elsewhere. Tall bluegrass is a native grass more frequent in prairie states. It is used for prairie restoration, soil erosion, water conservation and as a forage plant for deer and cattle. The plant is also used by birds for nest making and seed. Happy Tonics is always willing to listen. Often opinions add to the collective knowledge base.

Creative Kids Family Childcare now licensed for 32 children

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – Creative Kids Family Childcare, Shell Lake, has expanded its license to become a small-group center, for up to 32 children.

Owner Joahna Shelton, Shell Lake, has been running a day-care center since April 2008, when she became state-licensed for eight children. Shelton said she became a day-care provider after the center she was going to closed. At the time, Shelton was a machinist, and her then-husband had been injured in an accident, so they were in need of a provider for their son. Shelton said her former provider, Shannon Anderson, told her she would be good at running a day-care center, and suggested she open her own.

“It was a life-changing time for me,” Shelton said.

Shelton became certified and operated a day-care center out of her home, but there was one problem.

“I never had enough openings,” she said, adding that this was also a gift, as she’d always had many families needing a provider.

Shelton obtained her license, allowing her to provide family care for eight children, rather than only six. Then, last fall, a woman about to have twins called to ask about day care, and Shelton began looking into running a group center.

“We had families that needed more than just eight spots,” Shelton said.

She had to go through the state, working with the Child Care Information Center.

“It’s an awesome resource,” Shelton said.

A technical advisor assigned her a prelicense, and Shelton said the advisor then visits a day-care center and has to approve it before one can become fully licensed.

“She is one of the hardest licensers in the area,” Shelton said of her advisor.

“We definitely have quality child care around this area.”

On Oct. 1, Creative Kids was upgraded to a small-group center, providing a quality environment with well-planned activities for all children to learn and grow.

Shelton and her co-providers, assistant teacher Laurel Lawrence and teacher Debbie Pfluger, had remodeled the building, which is located on the Lake Park Alliance Church property, over the summer, painting, cleaning, putting in

Pictured are Jada and Kyle in the ball pool; Aaliyah seated next to the pool; Shelton with Brooklyn; and Lawrence with her son Riley. new flooring and making it handicap accessible.

“We didn’t use the downstairs before,” Shelton said.

Currently, Creative Kids has 20 children going to the center each week, and Shelton is inviting more families to utilize this resource. She is licensed for babies as young as 2 weeks old, and her licensure goes up to age 12.

“Research has confirmed that the child-care provider is one of the most important elements in quality child care,” Shelton said.

Children ages 2 and under do activities downstairs, while those 2 and up are upstairs. Shelton said Creative Kids runs a lower child-to-staff ratio, with two providers upstairs for nine or 10 children.

“Each kid gets as much attention as they possibly can,” Shelton said. “Our staff at Creative Kids all have specialized training and education in early childhood.”

Creative Kids has interactive daily routines.

“We do not use TV as part of our education,” Shelton said.

Shelton said they have circle time, where the children learn about things like weather and calendar dates, enjoy finger puppet shows and sing songs.

There is a math and science area, and in

honor of autumn, the theme is “Fantastic Things about Fall.” The children have been doing leaf rubbings, learning about pumpkins, squirrels, harvest vegetables and leaf color changes. There is a sensory table for the children to examine certain objects; last week, it was corn cobs.

“We let them investigate,” Shelton said. “It’s fun.”

They have daily art activities, with the center encouraging process art vs. product art. Shelton said that with process art, children are given materials to create anything they want, such as dipping cutup pieces of fruit in paint and creating pictures. She added that they do both process and product, however.

“Parents prefer product art,” she said.

“Play is a huge component of learning, but it’s the type of play.”

There is a block play area, which Shelton said has become a huge part of daycare centers everywhere.

“A block is defined as anything that can be used to build, that does not fit together,” she said.

The rooms upstairs rotate so the providers are able to see and hear the children at all times when they are awake.

The children get to visit the outdoors playground twice a day, and Shelton said that at this time, all ages are together.

This is especially great for siblings, who

may be in separate age groups but can then be in the same area as their brothers or sisters for two hours out of the day.

The center also provides breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack, usually around 3:30 p.m.

“We serve nutritious meals,” Shelton said.

The center is on a food program that requires low-sugar and high-protein foods, to encourage healthy eating. If someone has a birthday, and the parents OK it, Shelton said they can bring treats, or a treat will be provided if the parent doesn’t have time to bring one. She added that the treats are always supplemented with a healthy snack.

The children get to go on walking field trips around town, to the library on Thursdays for story hour, and for random area events. Shelton said that they recently enjoyed watching a house being built across the street, and they visit the post office on Valentine’s Day and the bank for ice cream every June, which is Dairy Month.

The center’s hours vary, as Shelton said the first child is usually dropped off around 6:30 a.m., and the last usually picked up around 6 p.m. Some centers are not open past 5 p.m., Shelton said, so she wants to be as accommodating as possible for working parents who need later hours. She also provides part-time and drop-in care, which involves taking care of another provider’s children for a day, if he or she is sick. Shelton said her goal is “to help as many people as I can.”

For now, Shelton said, she is working to maintain a quality environment.

“I will not go to large group,” she said, which is a center for 55 or more children.

Separating young children from their siblings is often hard, she said, which is why she puts everyone together during outdoor playtime, but they are all in a stellar learning environment.

Shelton said she works to have no staff turnover so she can build the best relationship between the providers and the children.

Creative Kids has openings for more children, and Shelton encourages parents to call her, whether to sign up or obtain more information, at 715-645-0760.

OCTOBER 27, 2010 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 13

by Diane Dryden JERUSALEM – There is an Alliance Church International Cemetery located on Emek Rephaim Street in a growing Jewish suburb known as the German Colony that’s in the heart of a thriving shopping district serving the local community.

For many years the cemetery was one of the three cemeteries in Israel for nonJewish people and internationals not associated with established religious communities to be buried. Many local and international believers in Christ, having a great love for Israel and the Jewish people, are buried in the cemetery and scholars and political authorities consider many of these important to the formation and establishment of the state of Israel.

An incredible undertaking

Abraham and Sarah, the parents of three separate religions.

Spending time in an Israeli desert to get the feeling of the area when Sarah and Abraham walked these hills, Spooner woman Patricia Solveson gets ready to continue painting the cemetery mural.

Because the history of the cemetery dates back to the late 1800s, the cemetery is listed among Israel’s places of historic importance. As a result, many Israeli tour guides bring groups of tourists and local Israelis into the cemetery. It’s also a great curiosity for the local residents thanks to a Spooner woman, Patricia Solveson.

A year and a half ago, Solveson spent one weekend in Solon Springs painting a portion of a mural that she hoped to duplicate, but at a much larger scale, in Israel. Crowds gathered to hear some extraordinary professional violin music while they watched the mural take shape. During the weekend, freewill offerings were taken and prints of original paintings were offered for sale to raise funds, one print which was the one Solveson had given to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu several years previous.

Last fall, in October 2009, the work began.

The mural, which is a life diorama from Genesis to Revelation, will cover, when finished, a wall that is as long as a football field and ranges from 8 to 12 feet

in height. The original date of actually starting to paint was delayed due to the fact the wall had to be repaired in places and prepared for the paint. There were many problems to overcome like the glitches with the electric system and choosing the correct primer and paints at the Golden Paint Company in Tel Aviv.

Solveson had a rough idea of what she was going to paint, which all changed when she was actually standing in front of the huge painting surface. It was at that point that she knew what she wanted the finished wall to look like. It begins with the darkness from Genesis 1:1 that becomes a big wave of wild blue water that separates the waters from the

firmament. From there it’s Adam and Eve and even more animals than were originally planned.

After three trips to paint, Solveson and a myriad of volunteers from all over Wisconsin and a couple from Missouri were able to take the diorama all the way to Abraham and his wife Sarah, the parents of three different religions, the Muslims through their son Ishmael, the Jews because of their son Isaac and Christians because their savior Christ came through the bloodline of Isaac.

Painting in Israel is difficult due to weather that is too hot causing the paint to clog or too cold causing the paint to not flow from the brushes. It is difficult

This is the Alliance Church International Cemetery and visitors during the Jewish Open House Festival. Graves date back to the 1800s and the caretaker, Meir, a Jewish Christian whose back is to the camera, gives tours which include information about the graves and the diorama that is being painted by Solveson on the wall behind.

The wall is as long as a football field and from 8 to 12 high feet in places.

to speculate on when the mural will be complete, but it will most likely take at least four to six more sessions. Solveson spends from five to 10 weeks each time she goes.

There is an approximate cost for the project which is a conservative $75,000.

All of the money coming from donations to the project, which are both large and small, is given so the imaginative and inspired work can continue.

Just recently there was an open house festival in Jerusalem and many organizations and individuals visited historic homes and old landmarks. Thousands of Israelis walk the streets during this time on tour and the Alliance International Cemetery is a popular place for people to hear the stories of those lying there by the guide, an Israeli believer named Meir.

The presence of a large and wildly colorful mural has excited many of the visitors and Solveson is invited to tell the story of the mural – both the mechanics of actually painting it, and the story it tells. She often mentions her past involvement with the New Age movement and her deliverance from depression when she left it. They are always amazed by the story and everyone is interested in her story and impressed with the mural.

Over 1,700 people passed through the cemetery during the open house and since then they have experienced an increase even in the number of people who come in off the street during the week.

“Many Jews are a little cautious at being in a Christian cemetery and many want to know if I am an evangelist or a missionary. Many only know of villainous Christians who persecuted the Jews, to which I respond by saying that I am an evangelical Christian who believes in the Bible and who loves the Jews and Israel. I tell them that true Christians do not hate the Jews but pray for them and the peace of Jerusalem, ” says Solveson.

“I attempt to bring clarity and truth about my Christian faith in order to dispel the distortions many believe. When they sense my love and sincerity, they begin to relax and this most often leads to deep discussions. Yes we do talk about Jesus, but I must be extremely sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, overstepping what He wants can result in a lot of damage and mistrust.

Each trip costs in the neighborhood of $5,000 and they are all accomplished through faith-based giving. If your heart has been touched by the work she is doing in Israel and you would like to help, you can either send a contribution through her husband at Carl Solveson, W7575 Rappy Lake Road, Spooner, WI 54801 or if you need a receipt, Ron Cook Ministries, 14507 S. Hwy. 53, Gordon, WI. 54838 If you’d like more information and to see the work in progress, go to jerusalemwalloflife.org or go to cmalliance.org to get further information on the actual cemetery.

Lakers undefeated in regular season

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — With a 41-22 win over Whitehall, Shell Lake finished their regular season undefeated, ranked No. 1 in the state and the No. 1 seed in the playoff bracket. They go into the playoffs healthy and read to finish the year undefeated.

Shell Lake scored first when fullback Mitch Kraetke scored from the 4-yard line and Mackenzie Curtis kicked the extra point, it was 7-0. With 1:38 left in the first quarter, Whitehall quarterback Alex Eid connected with Mark Emlaw for a 14-yard pass and the two-point conversion was good; Whitehall took the lead 8-7. Shell Lake quarterback Tom Helstern connected to Kraetke on a screen pass and Curtis’ kick was good.

Shell Lake regained the lead with 14-8.

The Whitehall defense scored when they recovered a Shell Lake fumble and ran 52 yards to tie up the game when the two-

After each home game, the Shell Lake fans crowd the area north of the bleachers and wait for the players to come through to greet them. The tired players walk the gauntlet, a pat on the shoulder and a good word for the embattled warriors. This has been a Laker tradition for many years.

Tom Helstern had a great night, throwing a 34-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Anderson and scoring on a quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter. The pass to Anderson put Shell Lake up 28-14 and put the game away for the Lakers.

point conversion failed. On the ensuing kickoff Tyler Anderson ran 82 yards and Curtis went three for three in extra points making it 21-14 with 4:10 left in the first half.

Coming out in the second half, Shell Lake moved the ball downfield and put the game away 28-14 with an Anderson 32-yard pass reception. With 4:49 left in the third quarter, Kraetke capped off a Laker series with a 12-yard run, Curtis missed his only extra point for the night.

In the fourth quarter Shell Lake scored their last touchdown when Helstern crossed the goal line on a 1-yard run; the extra point made it 41-14. The game ended after Whitehall quarterback Eid connected to Isaiah Gilbertson on a 48yard pass.

The Shell Lake Lakers go into the playoffs playing McDonell Central in the first round. Central could be the surprise Cinderella team in this bracket, they are just that good. Their three losses this season came from three Division 6 schools,

Volleyball team ends the season

Final season record: 4 - 23 - 3

BAYFIELD — The Laker volleyball team ended their season with a 2-3 match loss against the Bayfield Trollers in WIAA Regional tournament action Tuesday, Oct. 19. Bayfield was the No. 3 seed, while Shell Lake was the No. 6 seed.

The Lady Lakers clinched set No. 1 with a 26-24 score, which was a big motivator for the rest of the evening.

Sets No. 2 and No. 3 were mirror images of each other with Bayfield winning 25-21 (set No. 2) and Shell Lake winning 25-21 (set No. 3). “We (Bayfield and Shell Lake) were very equally matched. We had Lindsey and Bayfield had No. 15,” explained coach Amy Skattebo. “The formula was simple: when Lindsey was on the net hitting, we had to get the ball to her to earn as many points as possible.”

In set No. 4, the Lakers pulled to an early lead of 9-5, but the Trollers slowly worked their way back and were holding at 24-21 when junior Kellie Myers went down with a knee injury. “Anytime a team faces losing a player during a match, it’s difficult to pull through it.

Thankfully, we had Emilee Organ available to sub in for Kelly. She has powerful serves and is confident on the serving line. The team was in good hands,” commented Skattebo. Indeed, Organ whipped out two back-to-back aces, bringing the score to 23-24. Unfortunately, Organ wasn’t able to bring the tie score on the board and missed her next serve, ending the set 23-25 for the Lakers.

For the first time all season for the Lakers, the match went into set No. 5. With Myers out, freshman Shania Pokorny moved into the middle hitting/blocking position and JV pull-up player Renee Mikula played on the right side. The Lakers, with Green in the front, pulled out to an early lead, but as the players rotated quickly with some missed serves on both teams, Green was off the net and Bayfield’s No. 15 helped lead the Trollers to the 15-10 victory over the Lakers.

“The ending was bittersweet. No one wanted it to end, and the girls fought so hard all night for it to come to an end by a mere five points. On the flipside, after the season this team has had, playing five hard sets with a No. 3 seed should really have them holding their heads up,” stated Skattebo.

Most of the squad will be returning next season and will need to replace only one graduating senior. “Lindsey led this team, no doubt. She played her heart out at Bayfield and was a dominating force both at the net attacking and on the serving line. She will not easily be replaced,” commented her coach.

The season-end volleyball banquet will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 9, starting at 6 p.m. — with information from Shell Lake Schools

Jen Cassel goes up to block a spike at the net.

The junior will be in top form next year, having played varsity the last three years. On the net she was 5 for 5 on the attack with three kills.

Senior Lindsey Green went into the attack mode at the regional tournament Oct. 19. She was 43 for 49 on the attack with 19 kills. Serving, she was 17 for 21 with nine aces, and she had five digs on defense.

October skies have been mostly blue all month making it one of the mildest and driest, with no rain, and prettiest autumns in a long time, which allowed lots of fall work and harvesting to be done.

Until weekend that last when it turned overcast, misty and rainy, so one couldn’t even see the full hunter’s moon.

The trees are mostly bare now and woodlands took on that gray look except for the tamarack swamps that are a beautiful gold.

Virginia Stodola, along with Harmony Stoll, Cumberland, and Melanie Stoll, Turtle Lake, and also Virginia’s son, Jim, from Greenfield attended the 50th anniversary for Chuck and Chic Harrell on Saturday held at Greg and Nancy Harrell’s home. Congrats to them.

Virginia reported that Jim had attended the funeral for Jerry Hedler of Chetek that was held at the Hedwig Catholic church in Thorp on Wednesday.

Jerry and wife Donna were owners and operators of the Narrow Gauge Inn for several years around the late 1960s and he also worked at Shell Lake Mills with Virginia’s late husband, Jack. Jerry is survived by wife Donna and daughters Danielle, Laurie and Cheryl and son Jeffrey and their spouses, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He was 78. Sympathy is extended from Sarona folks.

Marilyn Zimmerman and daughter Renee spent Sunday in Hudson where Renee served as godmother in the baptism of Miles, infant son of Michelle and Josh Alters. They also celebrated big brother Logan’s third birthday.

Visiting at Willie and Vicki Lombard’s Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was his sister, Doriene. Their mom, Dort, joined them for supper Tuesday night.

Doriene’s husband got back from a successful hunt out West and they flew back to their home in Alaska on Monday.

While here, Doriene and her mom visited Dort’s sister, Ann Rohlik, at the nursing home in Durand and found her real chipper at age 102.

A speedy recovery is wished for Naomi Beardsley who fell last Sunday while bringing in her geraniums, fracturing her pelvis. You are missed at bowling, Naomi.

Jackie Pfluger and Seth Reynolds said their wedding vows at a ceremony in Shell Lake Saturday evening that was planned to be by the beach but it was raining so it was held at the community center with the reception following. Reports are it was really nice. Best wishes to them. Folks were happy to see Grandma Elenore Pease from Terraceview Living Center there.

Country Comfort’s Allan Moe was out doing free checks for gas leaks, a good thing, as it could save a life and save fuel.

He says a pilot light turned off in the summer months could save a gallon of fuel a week.

Josephine Mancl, 90, Haugen, passed away at the Rice Lake convalescent center in Rice Lake on Saturday. She was a great lady. I just can’t imagine the meals she must have cooked up in her lifetime and the cookies she baked as a mother of 12 with 57 grands and 77 great-grands and nine great-great-grands. She was loved by all that knew her.

Sarona folks extend sympathy to Wilber and Joyce Prock. They were caregivers to a dear lady, Joan Wendt, for several years and she passed away on Thursday. Joan attended Ventures and a celebration of her life is being planned.

He is survived by his mother, Joy Nelson; stepfather, Anders Nelson; brother, Harold Nicol of Roseville, Minn.; sister, Pam Jacobson; half brothers, Andy Nelson and Doug Nelson; half sisters, Sheila Workman and Dawn Rambo; along with several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Ronald Nicol; and his father, Donald Nicol.

A memorial service was held Sunday, Oct. 24, at the Frederic Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

Area writers corner Making winning costumes

by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake Right after I learned that we were going to have a party I began to consider the costume I would like to make for Halloween. This train of thought brought back memories of costumes I had worn or made for my children for parties and Halloween parades. I have always believed that the wearing of costumes was a good way to add a bit of fantasy and drama to our everyday lives, so I welcomed the opportunity to put together costumes at the drop of a hat.

There are three kinds of people, I think. The first kind doesn’t care to wear or make any kind of costume at all. I don’t really know people like that, and I think they are just unenlightened. Then there are the kinds who think a costume is something you go to a store to buy.

I might buy material to make a costume, but never would I buy one of those mass-produced and expensive costumes. The third kind is people like me who enjoy making costumes from scratch for any occasion.

My mother never would have considered buying or dressing me in a costume purchased for an occasion.

Actually we were lacking in the money to buy such frills. But my mother was a costume-maker extraordinaire. Many times I would watch in amazement as she created fabulous costumes for me or our whole family out of remnants of crepe paper. In those days you could go to the five-and-dime store and buy, for a few cents, bundles of crepe paper in several colors. It was stretchy and you could make any number of imaginative costumes with it. My mother would sit at her sewing machine and turn out, like an assembly line, all kinds of hats. It might be a bonnet, a Scottish tam, a tricornered or pirate hat, a top hat, even a princess cone-shaped hat with a hole in the tip from which a flowing scarf would hang. She made hats for our birthday parties, too. She could make a cape, or ruffles for clown collars, and other small things that lent themselves to the illusion.

She could work miracles. I would never do that well, but I always enjoyed making costumes for my children.

I remember my hometown as a great place for dressing up for Halloween. We had a parade downtown on Main Street and everyone in costume could participate and try for prizes. Our whole family went, but my par-

Typhoons are a terror to pilots. A veteran pilot was asked, “What’s the secret of flying in them?”

“Turning the typhoon into a tailwind,” he answered.

Violent storms come into all our lives. They can blow us from the Lord or to him. They can trip us or speed us on our way.

St. Paul experienced one. He was arrested, beaten and jailed.

But he sang, he didn’t sigh. He witnessed, he didn’t whine. The Philippian jailer and his household got converted. Soon Paul established the first church in Europe.

Why don’t you turn your typhoon into a tailwind and speed the gospel on its way.

Marie McNeeley, 74, Cumberland, died Oct. 22, 2010, at Cumberland Extended Care Unit.

She was born May 26, 1936, in Shell Lake, to George and Lucy Irene (Waudby) Graf. Marie was raised in the Timberland area and graduated from Shell Lake High School in 1954.

She moved to Rapid City, S.D., and married Charles H. Gibson who served in the U.S. Air Force for 23 years.

They later divorced. Marie moved to Cumberland in 1979 and was married in Barron on April 14, 1984, to James McNeeley who preceded her in death on Nov. 24, 1984. She opened her own day care in 1982, which she operated until 2004. Marie enjoyed crocheting and dancing.

Marie was preceded in death by brothers Dick and Jack Graf.

ents just stood on the sidewalk and watched and cheered for us as my brothers and sisters and I joined the parade in costumes. It was always a procession of colorfully clad people, young and old. Viewers rooted for their favorites. It didn’t matter if you won a prize, because you always had a lot of fun. There were always people with ingenious outfits; some very elaborate and some rather simple. There were ghosts in white sheets, hobos in old ragged clothes, cowboys, angels, and fairytale characters. I remember one Halloween two men got the first prize. One dressed as a fat lady pushing a really big baby buggy, and the other was in the buggy dressed like a baby with a cute bonnet on and a rattle. Very funny.

This is something I have to decide. Do I want funny or do I go for pretty? I will think about that. More memories are stirring.

When I was in grade school every Halloween we would have a school parade. The students in the last hour of the afternoon would get their costumes on and then they would march outside, around the school building, starting with the first grade and then the next until all eight grades formed a colorful parade. We marched to the applause of teachers and parents who came to observe. They had prizes, too. There were always some purchased costumes and some used in dance recitals or special shows. Then there were my favorites, the more creative ones.

In our family we would have our own party at home, with ducking for apples and other games so we could wear our costumes more than once. In later years, the trick-or-treat for Halloween caught on, and we didn’t have as much fun at home. Kids went out in their costumes, though.

I won a prize several times at the school parade. One time I was a fairy with my own magic wand, wearing wings made of cheesecloth. One time I took second prize as a gypsy dancer. I had beaded necklaces over other necklaces, bracelets, and a colorful scarf, and I wore a peasant blouse with a full skirt. Another time my sister won first prize with a Chinese costume, which my mother fashioned from a pair of Oriental pajamas. Another time she won as a baker in a big white apron and a chef’s hat. My younger brother was a devil wearing footed pajamas dyed red, and even had a tail and horns. He didn’t win a prize, but I think it was the most fun for him. At home, he danced around and did somersaults and handstands and had all of us laughing at his devilish antics. I had a skating outfit, like Sonja Heine, one time.

I still haven’t decided what kind of costume I will make for our party. Maybe I will go as the Statue of Liberty, wear a crown, and carry a candle. No, some Disney character would be more fun. I don’t use a mask because that would make it hard to see and it is better not fall on your nose. I can use makeup. I think I will go as a witch and scare people. I have a broom. The trouble is, I don’t have a black cat. Have a fun Halloween!

Barronett by Judy Pieper

Do you remember when I told you about the things the Spirit Collection members were collecting for foster kids? Well, I checked in the church basement on Sunday, and they have a lot of stuff ready to put into the pretty cloth bags they bought just for that purpose. A few things that I didn’t see down there were toothbrushes, combs and brushes. They might be there, but I didn’t see them.

The reason the kids are getting these things together is that they have learned that some foster children are taken out of their homes with just the clothes they are wearing, and they want to provide them with some of the comforts we all take for granted. This is such a worthy cause. I think that none of us want to think about children, who are already scared and in a strange place, having nothing to call their own. If you want to help, please call Peg Thompson to find out what other items they need for the packets.

Can you believe Halloween is here already? We don’t

even have our jack-o’-lanterns carved yet. I guess we better get with the program if we want little trick-or-treaters to stop by the house. Over the past few years we have had quite a few families with children move into Barronett, so we’re hoping to see lots of them. This year I’m going to have the camera sitting right by the front door so that I won’t forget to take pictures of all our little guests. If you happen to be driving around on Sunday evening, remember to watch out for little ghosts and goblins that might not think to look before crossing the street.

I had a chance to visit with Morgan and Isabella Neitzel for a while on Sunday afternoon. Morgan had taken Isabella for a walk, and they were at Speedy’s CStop, waiting for the rain to stop. Isabella is just a little over a year old now, and she is the sweetest, happiest little thing. I hope they stop by for treats on Halloween evening.

Nexen employees generous in United Way effort

Nexen Group Inc., Webster, just concluded its 16th United Way Campaign Oct. 21. Employees raised over $24,000 in pledges and raffle sales. The company provided a contribution of $24,000 bringing the grand total to over $48,000. Over the past 16 campaigns, Nexen and its employees have raised over $550,000 in United Way funds.

Most of the funds raised will go to Washburn and Burnett county agencies.

Most of the employees live in one of the two counties.

Heart Lake

by Helen Pederson

On Monday, Oct. 25, it was foggy, gray and dark. It seems when we need the rain it comes for three days and no sun. At least it isn’t snow yet!

Thursday night several people went to the game between Shell Lake and Whitehall, which Shell Lake won.

Congratulations to the team and the coaches. Good job!

I would like if it were broadcasted. The Flachs and the Marschalls went to the game.

How about the Badgers who beat Iowa on Saturday and the Packers who won on Sunday night? Both were exciting games!

On Friday night John and Mary Marschall went out to dinner with Ben and Karen Holzem. On Saturday night Mary and John joined a group of friends and went to dinner at Das Bierhaus in Menomonie. They had a good time. Sunday they spent the day with John’s mom, Wealthy Marschall.

Happy birthday to Tim Pederson in Amherst on the 26th. Denny followed with his birthday on the 27th.

Mine was Oct. 25 and we had birthday cake and ice cream at Glenview that day to celebrate. My brother Milton called from Cumberland and sang “Happy

Parties here this week at Glenview were Erling Jensen and Al Rock. Birthday greetings to you both.

Did you know this October is very special?

There are five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays. This happens once in every 823 years. See you then!

A wise old owl sat in an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard. Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird? ~ an old proverb.

Remember to bring your little ones — ages 10 and under — to the Barronett Community Center on Saturday, the 30th, for the Halloween party hosted by members of the civic club. The party runs from 2 to 4 p.m., and there will be games, prizes, food and fun for all. The party is open to everyone, and there is no charge for anything. Of course all donations are appreciated, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. So dress your little ones in their cutest or scariest costumes and bring them to the party on Saturday.

The Cumberland kids who belong to FFA are busy taking orders for boxes of fruit. Dillon Snowbank had his order blank with him on Sunday, and asked us if we wanted to buy some this year. Oh yeah, like anyone is going to turn him down! Anyway, I asked Dillon if he was a senior this year, and he said that he is. But he told me not to worry. Devon is also in FFA and will be selling fruit for the next few years. Goody.

We had a call from Bill Gill on Saturday. Someone had left some home-canned vegetables in his truck, and he thought that maybe it was me. I’m not too bright. I should have just let him continue to think so and taken the credit for someone else’s generosity. Didn’t think of it in time. Anyway, he said that he had pickled beets, cucumber pickles and applesauce. When he saw the applesauce, the light came on and he decided he knew exactly who had given him the food. He said that one of the neighbor ladies always makes the best applesauce and gives him some each fall.

Did you ever try to celebrate a birthday and mess it up royally? Well, here’s a story for you. Oct. 23 is Delores Schultz’ birthday, so we decided to surprise her and take her and Richard Pieper out for supper. They live in Barron, so we decided to take them to the Rolling Oaks. I called Pat ahead of time and told her that we would be coming over, and asked her if she would mind having some ice cream or something for dessert so it seemed more like a party. Well, you know how Pat is, she said she’d think of something. Then we called Jim Marsh and invited him and Summer to join us in celebrating Delores’ birthday. OK, we went over and picked Richard and Delores up, and told them we were taking them to the Oaks for dinner, but Delores said that she didn’t want to go to the Oaks because they had been there a couple of weeks ago, and wanted to go to Perkins instead. Oh oh. I immediately called the Oaks to tell Pat we wouldn’t be coming, and Carol — one of the waitresses — told me that she was busy making a cake. My sister always goes all out for everyone. Then I called Jim and told him to meet us at Perkins instead. Well, he was already halfway to Barron, and said that he thought he would just go home because he was tired and not all that hungry anyway. This is not the end — Delores changed her mind again. Instead of Perkins she wanted to go to the new restaurant over by K-Mart, so we did. I didn’t bother calling Jim because he said he wasn’t coming to Perkins anyway. You guessed it, as we were ordering, Jim called to ask where we were. He and Summer had decided to stop by Perkins just to wish Delores a happy birthday. Man oh man. Could it get any worse? Well, actually, it did turn out OK. Delores and Richard enjoyed their dinner and she loved her gifts. And the employees at the Rolling Oaks and Hilltop loved the birthday cake Pat made her. All’s well that ends well, I guess.

Remember, Tuesday, Nov. 2, is Election Day. Town of Lakeland residents vote at the town hall, located right behind the town shop. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have 100 percent of our residents vote? Let’s give it a try.

One nice thing about voting, it gives you the right to complain about how the country is run if your guy doesn’t get in — and the right to make excuses if he (or she) does.

That’s about it from Barronett this week. Have a fun Halloween. See you next time.

SHELL LAKE — Duck for the Oyster, the northwood’s premier traditional dance band, will hold their annual Halloween Hoedown at the Shell Lake Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 30, starting at 7:30 p.m. The dance has become a favorite occasion for northwoods residents to gather, display their creative wardrobe genius, and get down for an evening of squares, circles, reels and international folk dances. In the 21 years that Duck for the Oyster has been together, they have earned a reputation throughout the upper Midwest for the family-friendly, community-oriented dances they present. The Halloween Hoedown has earned a reputation for some very creative and often amusing costumes. The theme this year is Movies.

“The costumes are always unbelievably creative, though often very simple,” says fiddler, Kevin McMullin, “Munch paintings, chess sets, Rube Goldberg gadgets, we’ve had them all.” According to McMullin a costume is not required. “Come as yourself,” he

says, “But, there will be prizes awarded for best costume.”

The dance will also feature a trick-or-treat promenade, a chance for trick-or-treater’s to get in an early start on candy collecting. People should bring their trick-or-treat bags and some candy for distributing, according to McMullin.

Like all of their dances, the Halloween Hoedown is smoke and alcohol free. “We get the widest variety of people at these dances,” says McMullin. “Singles and couples feel equally comfortable and kids appreciate feeling welcome and involved. Some folks come because they enjoy the live music. There’s always refreshments available. Everybody has a good time.”

Each dance is taught before the music starts; no previous experience is necessary.

For more information about the dance contact 715635-7641. — from Duck for the Oyster

Dewey Country by Pauline Lawrence

It’s a chilly, rainy day here in Dewey Country as I write this news. Yes, we need rain now as it’s quite dry despite the wonderful rains we had this summer.

Gardens are done now and those people who have canned and canned are sighing with relief, but looking at all the veggies and fruits on their canning shelves, they feel blessed to have so much good food for the coming winter.

A very happy 42nd wedding anniversary to two wonderful people, Bob and Marie Lawrence, as they celebrate together on Oct. 28. Have a wonderful day you two.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Tiffany Hopwood, Jannah Williams, Gabe Alger and Karen Scribner, all celebrating their special day Oct. 28. Many more to all of you.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Brenda Monson, Jerry Sexton and Tam on Oct. 30, with many more to come.

Happy birthday to our Halloween baby, Doug Vanderhoof, as he enjoys that special day on Oct. 31. Have a wonderful day, Doug.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Abby Smith on Nov. 1. Have a great day, Abby.

A very happy birthday to a golden oldie when he turns 88 years young on Nov. 1. Yes, it’s birthday time once again for Don Taylor. Many more to you, Don. Nov. 2, happy birthday wishes go out to Tyler Dorweiler when he turns 6 years old. Have a fun day, Tyler.

Life is looking up around our farm. Yes, last Tuesday I drove to Eau Claire to bring my Sunshine home. Monday Sunshine and Paula Cramer went to Mayo in Rochester, Minn., for a checkup on Sunshine. At this time he continues to eat by mouth with no feeding tube. Doc Allen says he must eat 1,500-2,000 calories a day to maintain his weight and maybe gain a little. He is so happy to be back home and is doing quite well at this time.

A big thank-you to those who had Sunshine in your special thoughts and prayers. We’re not out of the woods yet, but every little step helps keep us positive.

Last Sunday that dear little Ellianna Rose Lauterbach was baptized at the Salem Lutheran Church with Stephanie Pederson, Trish Feeney and Julia Banford as Ellianna’s sponsors. Later a catered dinner was held in the fellowship room at the church for the Quam-Lauterbach family. Ellianna is almost 3 months old now and is a beautiful little princess. She is the daughter of Rick and Janie (Quam) Lauterbach and the granddaughter of Janice Lauterbach and Warren and Marie Quam. Congratulations to the families.

A week ago found Mike Murray a lucky hunter bagging a doe. Also Friday night Chris and Lucas Hulleman were out at Diane Hulleman’s where Lucas participated in the youth hunt, bagging a doe. Over the weekend Diane says she had a houseful with Jackie Perlt and her fiancé Effrain Garcia and his four chil-

dren, Chris Perlt and friend Tiffany, and Madison, Colleen and Izzy Jensen, Nicole and Jameson DePoster and Michael Patrick Murray at her place. Saturday night supper found 17 people enjoying supper at Diane’s. During the day, Maddy and Izzy enjoyed a ride at Glacier Trails. I hear the pumpkins got carved along the way and in the evening all enjoyed a bonfire. What great memories all those people will have while staying with Diane.

The Shell Lake FFA members are selling fruit, nuts and much more as a fundraiser. The money goes into the FFA fund for many things that are done with the students. Give them a call, as they need our support.

Get those apples along with all the baked goodies soon as Smith’s Poquette Lake Apple Orchard will be closing their apple shop Nov. 14. It’s too bad they aren’t open all year long as they have so much good food.

Saturday, Penny Ladd, Rem, Ry and Ree came to see us, leaving Reyana behind to spend the day with Grandpa and Grandma. Penny, Rem, and Rylee went to Ashland for a karate match with the kids coming home with five firsts and one third. Way to go Rem and Rylee.

When they came to pick up Reyana we had supper together and a good visit. Jeff Ladd left last Monday with the Cameron kids in FFA going to Indianapolis, Ind., for their yearly national convention. Jeff came home Saturday evening. Reyana is now 3 years old and such a little joy! She loves to help you no matter what you are doing and she had a ball with Rory.

Recently Jim Toll told me that Larry and Ruth Hopke were up visiting relatives and friends for a few days. They live in Missouri and are former Dewey residents.

Nov. 7 daylight saving time changes back an hour. Enjoy that extra snooze.

Farmers are closing in on their fall work now with beans and corn being combined. You know when we came to our farm, going on 39 years, in the fall everyone plowed their fields up. How times have changed, as you don’t see much of any plowing fall or spring.

That’s due to the seed corn and no-till along with sprays. Interesting how times have changed in that time isn’t it?

Our little Rory is looking a little different from last week. Yes, I took him in for a beauty treatment. Looks like a new dog.

We can actually see his eyes now, his colors, and all that long hair became history.

Looks like a cute little gentleman dog. He certainly is enjoying Sunshine and never forgot him in all the time Sunshine was gone from here. But you know, if Rory was a man, I’d hate to be his wife as everywhere I go he’s right behind me.

He’s got to be in where the action, is I guess, and he must think when I leave him behind that he’s missing something.

Nov. 9 the Dewey Township budget meeting will be held starting a 8 p.m.

the pole, though the deputy noted a red paint scuff on the pole itself. It was suspected the vehicle’s owner picked up any pieces before leaving, and that there would be heavy damage to the driver’s side. The deputy headed west in the direction the vehicle must have gone, but was unable to locate the suspect.

The electric company had fixed the pole by the time of the deputy’s arrival.

Monday, Oct. 11 Michael J. Novacek, 18, Eau Claire, backed into a vehicle driven by Marianne E. Frye, 81, Wascott, in the Trego Travel Center parking lot, Trego, around 1 p.m. According to the deputy’s narrative, Frye said Novacek had backed into her vehicle, hitting the left front driver’s side wheel with his bumper. She didn’t see any damage, so they exchanged information and left; however, Frye heard a grinding as she was driving north on Hwy. 53 and was unable to drive her vehicle, so she pulled over at the intersection of the highway and Whalen Lake Road.

The deputy and tow company responded, and though no outside damage was seen, an upper ball joint was rubbing on the tire, so it appeared something was bent. American Towing & Recovery took the vehicle, and nobody knew where Novacek had gone, so the incident was deemed nonreportable as there was less than $1,000 worth of damage.

Thursday, Oct. 14 Joseph F. Cristoforo, Mount Pleasant, Iowa, hit a deer on Hwy. 70, Beaver Brook, at 6:38 p.m. Cristoforo was driving west on the highway when he struck the deer. He was not injured, nor were his passengers, James L. Hilton, 54, Mount Pleasant, and Daniel C. Swanson, 31, New London, Iowa. The vehicle had very severe damage to the front, it was drive-able.

Thursday, Oct. 21 Shawn M. Maki, 22, Spooner, hit a deer on Hwy. 70 and 10th Street, Spooner, at 6:40 p.m. Maki was not injured, and there was minor damage to the front of his vehicle. – with info from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department

Notices / Employment Office of the Washburn County Clerk To the Electors of Washburn County: Notice is hereby given of a general election to be held in the several wards in Washburn County, on the 2nd day of November, 2010, at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office and under the appropriate party or other designation, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, in the sample ballot below.

INFORMATION TO ELECTORS Upon entering the polling place, an elector shall state his or her name and address before being permitted to vote. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth or machine and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

A straight party vote is a vote for all the party’s candidates listed on the ballot, unless the elector casts a vote for a candidate of another party, writes in the name of a candidate or applies a sticker. A straight party vote cannot be cast for Independent candidates. At the general election, if an elector wishes to cast a straight party vote for all candidates nominated by any party, the elector shall select the party of his or her choice and: Where paper ballots are used, make a cross (X) in the circle under the party designation Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall select the button next to the party designation.

To vote for individual candidates, where paper ballots are used, make a cross (X) in the square at the right of the candidate’s name for whom he or she intends to vote. Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall select the button next to the candidates names for whom he or she intends to vote.

To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, where paper ballots are used, the elector shall write the name of the candidate of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote.

An elector must vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor jointly on one ticket. A vote for Governor is also a vote for Lieutenant Governor. To vote for persons whose names to not appear on the ballot, write the names of individuals for both offices on the lines provided.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. If an elector spoils a paper ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. The elector may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. Not more than five minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in marking his or her ballot may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot, and promptly leave the polling place. After an official paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so that the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors initials on the outside do show. The elector shall then deposit his or her folded ballot in the proper ballot box or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit.

An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English, or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the elector.

Shell Lake new 2010-11 teachers

SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake School District has three new teachers, one new aide and a long-term substitute this year: Al Lahn, Kay Flynn, Abigail Armour, Deb Brereton and Katrina Granzin.

Abigail Armour

I am teaching high school English. This semester I have two classes of juniors in British literature and one class of sophomores in American literature. Next semester I will also be teaching tech English.

I am originally from Luck, then attended college at the UW-Madison. I got into the School of Education at the UW-Madison in my junior year and finished college in four years, graduating in May of 2010. I taught summer school to eighth-graders in Madison this summer and then moved back north to teach at Shell Lake. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and so I am excited that I achieved my goal in such a short time and am here at such a great school to begin my teaching career.

I knew Shell Lake had an excellent reputation as a community and as a school. I wanted to return back to rural Wisconsin to teach because I believe that community-oriented, small-school education serves the students better than the 2,000-student high school I student-taught in.

I always strive to help my students become independent human beings who learn to rely on themselves for answers. I also want all my students to appreciate literature as a part of common culture and learn to analyze other things using the techniques used to analyze literature.

Deb Brereton

(I am a) K-12 special education aide.

(I attended) Green Bay West High School, UW-Whitewater, (and was) adult educator at the Family Center of Florence County. I love kids, all kids deserve a shot at a good education. Some need a little extra help, (and) maybe I can make a difference.

I wanted to find the best midsized northern Wisconsin school to educate our children. After lengthy investigative search, (I) ended up in Shell Lake.

(My goal this year) is to improve (students) both educationally and socially.

I appreciate the support from administration and staff. Moving our kids to the Shell Lake School District was a great decision for our family.

Kay Flynn

I am teaching early childhood special education. I have taught young children for approximately six years. I grew up in Preston, Minn. I graduated from UW-Madison with a Bachelor of Science in medical technology. After having three sons, I discovered that I had a passion for teaching young children. I went back to school at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and graduated from there with a master’s degree in special

ciding to come here was a very easy decision.

I feel that every student, regardless of background or circumstance, is capable of learning and that every student, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves a quality education. I base my course, unit and lesson goals around the Shell Lake has three new teachers, one new aide and a long-term sub this year.

I moved to Hayward in high school that teaching was something selves and the world around them, with the after marrying a gentleman from there a that I could do, and it was something that I ability to think critically and to express their couple of years ago. wanted to do; deciding upon English and thoughts in an intelligent, coherent manner.

This is where my husband and I grew up and where our families are. I have always loved the area and the school, and live here now so I can raise my family.

I want the students to know that they can accomplish and do more than the previous generation and more than even they may believe. I want them to learn the importance of each person being different and the importance of learning to work together to benefit the community. I want to help them gain the knowledge they will need in the future to make healthy choices.

Wolf Ridge instructor David Butcher and Shell Lake student Lauren Osborn are playing raucous voyageurs game, pokey-man, or their version of the game.

The characters they are playing actually existed. Jacques LaRoche led many trips from Lake Athabaska in Canada to Grand Portage and Francois Flambeau eventually settled in the area around Tony. The Flambeau River was named after him.

Brianna Davis and her teacher, Al Nauertz, scan the rocky ledge for raptors that fly along the cliffs as they migrate around Lake Superior because they cannot fly over it. On a good day, hundreds of raptors can be seen flying.

Curtiss Johnson, Natalie Smith and Lacy Green learn about the voyageurs life and history by role playing in one of the favorite classes at Wolf Ridge Environmental Center on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Amber Anderson pedals the bicycle generator that powers the various electrical appliances. Kaitlyn and her mother/chaperone, Deb Brereton, watch in the energy class they took at Wolf Ridge.
