STATEWIDE - On Thursday, Oct. 9, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the state of Wisconsin from implementing a law that required voters to show photo identification in order to vote next Tuesday, Nov. 4. The decision came three days after the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals declared the law constitutional, spurring an emergency request for an order to block the law. According to the Government Accountability Board the Supreme Court’s decision is not the final word on the legality of Wisconsin’s voter ID law but it does set the rules for the Nov. 4 general election. No voters will be required to show any form of photo identification in order to vote on that day. The Supreme Court halted enforcement of the law to avoid voter confusion and because some voters had already been mailed absentee ballots without instructions on how to comply with the voter photo ID law. The Supreme Court may decide to hear the case on its merits sometime after the November election. Even though the voter ID law is halted voters registering will still need to provide proof of residence. “You may use a valid driver license or state ID card for proof of residence when you register to vote, either before or on Election Day,” said Kevin Kennedy, Wisconsin’s chief elections officer. “But you are not required to show a photo ID to get your ballot.”- Danielle H. Moe with information from the GAB ••• SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Police Chief Dave Wilson would like to remind residents that no one shall park any vehicle between the hours of 2:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. on any city street or traveled public right of way within the Shell Lake city limits between Nov. 1 and March 31. Any person violating this ordinance will be fined. — from the Shell Lake Police Department ••• Remember to fall back one hour at 2 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 2, as daylight saving time ends.

Decisions for all area voters on ballot next Tuesday

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer NORTHWEST WISCONSIN – By next Wednesday, Nov. 5, we will know the results of the contests from governor of Wisconsin to county clerk of court. Every voter in Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties will be choosing who will hold nine elected offices and whether a statewide referendum will be approved. Some area residents will be voting for one additional office and deciding two very local referendums. There are up to 30 individual candidate names on some ballots. Three political parties are running full slates of candidates. That is a lot of choices. The Register website, wcregisteronline.

com, has a link to our Election Watch website which includes the names of candidates on the ballot and profiles of some of the candidates. There is also a link to a neutral site, Politics1, that has links to the websites of the candidates and to the political parties. That is a great source for the messages of each party and candidate. The parties The Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians are running full slates of candidates for the statewide offices. The Constitution Party and the Wisconsin Green Party have two candidates on the ballot, and there is one person running for governor as the Peoples Party candidate. The Wisconsin ballot no longer includes the “party ticket” option in which one check at the top of the list would cast a vote for the party slate. The state contests The offices of governor/lieutenant gov-

ernor, attorney general, secretary of state and state treasurer are on the ballot. The incumbent governor and secretary of state are running for re-election. The attorney general and state treasurer are retiring. These four races account for 19 candidates. The governor and lieutenant governor run as a team giving the voters two names for the office but only one ballot mark. Sometimes in the past, third parties have run candidates for the lesser-known state offices in hopes of obtaining 5 percent of the vote for a position and official party-ballot access at the next election. Congress All of the area is in the 7th Congressional District, which covers northwestern Wisconsin from St. Croix County north to Superior and down to Wausau. There is no U.S. Senate election in Wisconsin this year.

Legislature All state Assembly seats are on the ballot this year. Parts of the three counties are in Assembly districts 28, 73 and 75. District 28 is an open seat where the incumbent is retiring. The incumbents are seeking re-election in 73 and 75, with an unopposed race in the 73rd District. State senators serve a four-year term. District 25 is on the ballot this year in a contest where the incumbent is retiring. The District 10 seat will be on the 2016 ballot. County races The offices of sheriff and clerk of court, all four-year terms, are on the ballot in each county. The Washburn County sheriff is unopposed on the ballot but faces a write-in opponent. There are contests for sheriff in Polk, where the incumbent faces a challenger, and Burnett, where the presSee Vote, page 4

Spooner Lake Dam reconstruction project approved Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County Board approved a final resolution authorizing the reconstruction of the Spooner Lake Dam and the creation of the Spooner Lake Dam special assessment district during their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21. “Right now the channels, the steel and everything’s coming off and it’s just falling apart, basically,” said Jon Johnson, Washburn County highway commissioner. The Spooner Lake Dam is unique in that it is built into Spooner Lake Road. The reconstruction project includes building a new structure where the water enters the dam and replacing the dam’s stop-logs. The project cost is estimated to be about $225,000. The cost of the reconstruction project will be paid through the special assessment district and a grant.

SPOONER — Spooner Health System, in collaboration with North Ambulance, Washburn County Health and Human Services, Washburn County Emergency Management, Washburn County Sheriff’s Office, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Essentia — Spooner Clinic and other community partners, is preparing in the event the Ebola virus is suspected here. “At this time, there are no reported

Deer advisory meeting reminder

SPOONER — The second Washburn County Deer Advisory Council meeting will be held Wednesday, Oct. 29, (tonight) starting at 7 p.m., at the Spooner High School. Deer population objectives for Washburn County during the next three years will be the main topic of discussion. The public is encouraged to attend and will have a formal opportunity to provide insight during the public comment period of the meeting. — from WCDAC

Correction NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN — On page 15 of the Oct. 22 edition of the Register, a state news story about the Assembly race between Smith and Quinn was published. In addition to the misidentification of each candidate under their photo, the article should have stated that Smith is from Shell Lake rather than Rice Lake. Quinn is the former mayor of Rice Lake. In the ending paragraph, the writer stated that Quinn voted with the Republican majority on Gov. Scott Walker’s Blueprint for Prosperity plan this year, which included a $408 million property tax cut. It was Smith that voted this way as Quinn was not in office. The Washburn County Register in addition to Wisconsin Public Radio News regrets these errors and extends an apology to both candidates. — WCR

Local Ebola preparedness outlined

cases of Ebola in Wisconsin, and the risk of contracting it remains extremely low,” said Jerri Pederson, Washburn County public health officer. “Preparing and collaborating on the federal, state and local level will ensure that the public and health-care providers receive prompt public health information.” “People are understandably concerned about the Ebola virus, especially with the cases recently diagnosed in the United States,” said Dr. Mark Van Etten, SHS chief of staff and board member. “While we work together to prepare, it’s also important to reassure everyone that Ebola can only be transmitted through contact

with the body fluids of people who are sick with the virus, or who have died from it.” Health-care workers and first responders are aware that they must be especially cautious and follow precise safety practices in the event they are ever called on to assist or care for a patient with Ebola. “Our hospital takes infection prevention seriously,” said Clint Miller, SHS director of patient care. “As CDC guidelines change, we have a team reviewing the changes and updating our plans for isolating and transporting a patient with Ebola. We will be providing additional education and training to our staff as

Those plans are available on the county’s website under the Spooner Lake Dam project information heading. Johnson reported that the project has already been bid out but they only received one bid at $259,000. He believes they only got one bid because it was put out to bid so late in the year. The county plans to rebid the project come early spring in the hope of getting more competitive proposals from contractors. The project’s estimated start date is June 2015 Of the 3,800 dams in the state, 17 percent are owned by a municipality such as a town or county government. Washburn County owns the Spooner Lake Dam. The Spooner Lake Dam impedes the 1,132 acres of water that eventually flows through the dam into the Yellow River, which runs through the city of Spooner. Because of the potential for loss of life or property damage should the dam fail, the Department of Natural Resources has classified the Spooner Lake Dam as a large dam with significant hazard potential.

needed.” “We want to stress that there are no reported cases of Ebola in Wisconsin, and the risk of contracting it remains extremely low in Wisconsin,” said Karen McKeown, state health officer. “DHS remains vigilant in its monitoring of the Ebola virus and will continue to provide our partners and the public with the most current information and guidance concerning this disease.” For more information about the Ebola virus and Wisconsin’s preparedness efforts, visit dhs.wisconsin.gov/communicable/diseasepages/ebola.htm. — from SHS

Unemployment rate continues downward trend Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Washburn County’s unemployment rate was at 5 percent in September, the lowest rate recorded in September since 2005 according to not seasonally adjusted Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development data. The county’s unemployment rate for the month of September is just above the

state unemployment rate but below the national unemployment rate. Compared to the 9.2 percent recorded six months prior in March 2014, it is a significant low. Taking a look back at historical rates, a pattern appears for this six-month period. Last year, Washburn County’s unemployment rate was at 6.1 percent in September and 9.4 percent in

March. Going back to September 2012, the unemployment rate was 6.4 percent, and 9.6 percent in March. Despite this seasonal flux it appears that the county’s unemployment rate is following a downward trend.

Letters to the editor Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness As Breast Cancer Awareness Month winds down for 2014 and you are wondering how you can best help, consider making a donation to Metavivor. Breast cancer in and of itself does not kill women. It is when the breast cancer cells metastasize — move from the breast to another part of the body — that it can be fatal — metastatic breast cancer. Chances are you know or will know

someone affected by breast cancer. Of the women that do get breast cancer, 30 percent will metastasize. In an average of 18-24 months, 97-99 percent of these women will die! Stage IV, final stage, patients are severely underfunded. While millions of dollars are raised annually to fight cancer, precious little — only 2 percent — goes to help these poor women. Metavivor

is staffed only by volunteers — most of whom have stage IV metastatic breast cancer themselves. One hundred percent of funds raised goes to research to try to stop this horrific disease. Any contribution you can make — large or small — will help. Go online to metavivor.org for more details or call 410-491-5760. Help put an end to this cycle so that someday soon, women will no longer

have to die prematurely and so that they and their families will not have to go through the hell that Trudy and our family did! You really can make a difference! Greg Druschba Shell Lake

7th District candidates/from page 1 veloping new energy while expanding domestic oil and natural gas production, the economy, Medicare, reforming Washington, transparency and accessibility in office, repeal the Affordable Care Act, supports veterans, is pro- life, traditional marriage and the Second Amendment. “I am a limited government, strong national defense guy. I am pro-life – there are a lot of those issues that I am on the same platform … I haven’t looked at a party platform which is - I am not bound by at all,” said Sean Duffy. Issues Duffy said he differed from the Republican Party include restoring funding for the Great Lakes Restorative Initiative, voting against defunding National Public Radio and, more recently, he didn’t support the president’s request to fund Syrian rebels to fight ISIS. “If you look at data, we traditionally, after a recession, have a pretty significant spurt of growth; that hasn’t happened and I think that falls at the feet of the president,” said Duffy. He concedes that positive growth is now apparent but the resilient American economy and Gov. Scott Walker’s actions are to thank. Duffy said he agrees in part to criticisms of Congress but says the House of Representatives is not the problem. “Quite frankly the dysfunction in Washington, the lack of activity of Congress, is not because the House isn’t passing good bipartisan bills, because we do, it’s because the Senate sits over there and drinks tea or coffee and has lunch and doesn’t pick up bills and debate them and move them,” said Duffy. According to the September Congressional Record the House passed a total of 368 bills, in that same period the Senate passed a total of 293. Of the 247 bills that began in the House and were passed 63 of those were passed by the Senate. Duffy concedes he has no control over the Senate but in the House he said he finds bipartisan support for bills early on in order to have the best chance for success. “I have great concern over what the NSA has done. I think that they should stay focused on terrorists or those they could argue have a threat to the United States of America … but the collecting of emails and phone records for virtually all Americans is crossing the line,” he said. Duffy sponsored The Consumer Financial Freedom and Washington Accountability Act that would require the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to first ask the American people’s permission before accessing their personal information. The bill was passed by the House this spring, the Library of Congress lists latest action on the bill as being received by the Senate in March. When it comes to supporting more or less homeland security measures, Duffy says it depends on the circumstance. His concern with border security is the threat of ISIS insurgents entering the U.S. at the borders but he doesn’t think the government is currently doing a bad job. “I think making sure we have good policies in place that allow us to protect the homeland is important but I think there is a balance to that too,” he said. Duffy feels that a concern for border security doesn’t give the government the right to spy on its citizens. “When I first got to Congress I was opposed to Davis-Bacon or prevailing wage and I had an opportunity to sit down with the operator engineers and the

trades guys about this issue and this is one of those issues that I have come over on, that I have supported ... because you don’t know everything about every issue ever but ... that is one of the errors I made early on that I would change if I could go back,” said Duffy. ••• Kelly Westlund is a resident of Ashland and the Democratic challenger. Westlund has a Bachelor of Arts in peace, conflict and global studies from Northland College in Ashland. Her professional experience includes being the executive director at the Alliance for Sustainability. Westlund’s political experience includes being an Ashland City Council member from 2011-2014. Issues from her campaign website are: jobs, campaign finance reform, making health care more accessible and affordable, supports bipartisan solutions, supports increasing minimum wage to at least $10.10 and supports veterans. Westlund is not supportive of all her party’s issues like the Trans Pacific Trade partnership. “I don’t feel comfortable supporting trade policy that undermines American workers,” said Westlund. A large frustration for her is how both major parties are focused on what’s wrong with the other side and that they don’t state possible alternatives. Westlund said she gives more credit to the federal government than to the state government for the current job growth and employment numbers but pointed out those created may not be living-wage jobs. “There are jobs that have been created in Wisconsin as well … but we have to make sure that the jobs that are being created are good jobs, jobs that pay a living wage and I don’t know if that’s the case,” she said. Jobs/the economy is one of the most important issues that she has been hearing about while on the campaign trail. Westlund agrees with criticism of this Congress being ineffective. “We have a Congress that’s so divided over ideology that they’re not willing to step back and find the common ground so that they can work together.” If elected Westlund said she will use her skills in conflict resolution to find that common ground. She acknowledged that governmental spying is a big, pervasive issue but stated she thinks it is wrong. “Yes, we need to have a degree of safety and security but I think that being safe and being secure and having your privacy aren’t mutually exclusive. We can be safe and free,” she said. When it comes to supporting more homeland security Westlund diverges from the conventional definition of increased militarization and border-strengthening measures. She includes bolstering the nation’s infrastructure, finding energy independence and ensuring good education systems with the traditional definition. “My only regret is that I haven’t had more opportunity to sit down and meet more people,” she said. Westlund explained that the size of the 7th District and the financial dependent reality of the current political system has limited her efforts to share her platform with voters. ••• Lawrence Dale is a resident of Ashland and a Green Party challenger. Dale holds a master’s in industrial and labor relations from the University of Oregon. He is a Vietnam War veteran, a state-licensed insurance broker, a contract administrator for various unions and founder of a

meat products distribution and sale business. Issues from his campaign website are: establishing the Bringing Back the Profits to the Farm economic plan, legalizing the production of hemp and marijuana, against the Penokee Hills Gogebic Taconite mine, campaign finance reform, restating union rights and restoring misallocated funds to the 2014 Farm Bill. “I don’t really disagree much at all with the Green Party platform,” said Dale. Dale says minimum wage jobs are to thank for recent job growth and employment numbers’ upward swing. He thinks that nothing is happening to give working people the ability to move into a middle-class economic standard of living. “The kind of growth we’re seeing is not something really to be proud of, right here in our district it is abysmal,” he said. He pointed out that the employment data isn’t giving a complete picture on if those jobs are paying a living wage. “My focus in this campaign was our District Seven economy and the way the Green Party contrasts from the Democrats and Republicans is that we have a plan for the economy of our district. We’re focusing on the farm sector,” he said. The plan is called Bringing Profits Back to the Farm, and involves establishing four processing facilities for meat products derived from livestock raised by farmers residing in the 20 counties that comprise the 7th Congressional District. “We could be looking at $40 million to $50 million cycling through our economy and this would create hundreds of new jobs … it would be a really big boost,” he said. For what it costs to pave three or four miles of highway Dale contends these facilities could be built, and he is looking at USDA rural development grants and investors. Dale and the Green Party are also proposing this as an alternative to the Penokee Hills mine that has been promoted for the jobs it could create in the area. “We have to elect people that are individual thinkers and not followers,” said Dale on gridlock in politics. He traces the current issue with gridlock back to the Citizens United case in 2010. “I think what it is, is that we have some very powerful, and it’s getting more powerful, commercial interests that are controlling the agenda in Congress and that’s why we have the gridlock,” he said. Dale thinks that current laws dictating how the government and its agencies have to go about getting information on citizens that are not party to criminal acts should be left alone. “If there is reasonable suspicion they can always get a warrant but if not they should leave you alone and respect your privacy,” he said. Dale’s one political regret is that he did not receive the financial support he expected from major endorsers of his candidacy. Dale was endorsed by the Lac du Flambeau Tribe and had 600 to 700 signed petitions by Lac du Flambeau community members and tribal members. He says the tribal chairs of the Lac du Flambeau and the Bad River Tribe refused to meet with him about the next part of the campaign. The lack of funding has made getting his message to voters in the district a financial burden that he didn’t think he was going to be taking on alone. “I just haven’t been able to campaign I mean, you at least have to have gas to go out to meet the public,” he said.

Schiess has a degree in resource management from the University Wisconsin - Stevens Point.

Top 10 things a voter should know for Election Day SHELL LAKE — Based on Government Accountability Board guidelines, the Washburn County clerk is releasing this list of top 10 things a Wisconsin voter should be aware of for the general election, Tuesday, Nov. 4. “The number one thing voters should keep in mind is to be patient and use common sense,” said Kevin Kennedy, director and general counsel of the GAB. Elections are an intense time for voters, election officials and candidates; patience needs to be exercised, whether it’s while waiting in line to vote or using common sense about not wearing campaign apparel or buttons to the polling place. Number two on the list is that voters should know their rights and responsibilities before heading out for the polls. Wisconsin has Election Day registration at the polls, so everyone who is qualified to vote will receive a ballot. A list of voting rights and responsibilities is available from your municipal or county clerk and is also available at gab.wi.gov/rights.

To register on Election Day, Wisconsin voters must show proof of residence, which can be a utility bill, lease, or other official document showing the voter’s name and current address. Voters who have a valid Wisconsin driver’s license or state ID card will be required to use their license number to complete the registration form; otherwise, they may use the last four digits of their Social Security number. Third on the list, voters can check their registration status with their municipal clerks or go online to myvote.wi.gov. Voters can check their voter record, sample ballot information and polling place locations on this site. Fourth, what to do if there’s a problem at the polls? Ask for the chief inspector first. If that doesn’t satisfy you, check with your municipal clerk. Clerk Lolita Olson said, “Election inspectors and municipal clerks have had extensive training with election procedures and will work diligently to help resolve any issues.”

The remaining top 10 things a voter should know are: • Photo ID is not required: The Wisconsin Voter ID Law, which got a go-ahead in September, was blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court in October. This ruling means voters in Wisconsin will not need a photo ID to vote at the Nov. 4 election. • Election observers are welcome: Election observers are welcome at every polling place and the chief election inspector will instruct observers on the rules. The rules are available at the polling place and on the GAB website: gab.wi.gov/clerks/ education-training/election-observers. • Ballot mistakes are not fatal: Don’t worry if you make a mistake when voting; you may ask for up to three new paper ballots. In the case of touch-screen voting equipment, you will be able to review your ballot choices before approving your final vote. • Leave political items at home: Voters are asked not to wear political clothing or paraphernalia to the polling place on

Election Day. The chief election inspector may ask voters to leave the polling place if it’s determined that a disturbance is being created or there’s electioneering going on. Video and still cameras are generally not allowed. • Get in lines before the polls close: Voters standing in line waiting to vote when the polling place closes at 8 p.m. on Election Day will be permitted to vote. While this may be more of an issue in populous municipalities, it still applies to our rural locations as well. • Rules for challenging a voter: There are specific criteria and limitations on challenging a person’s eligibility to vote. The chief election inspector can explain the challenge process and provide the voter and the challenger with explanatory documents. — from Washburn County Clerk’s Office

Spooner display garden wins landscape design contest SPOONER – The University of Wisconsin Spooner Ag Research Station teaching and display garden took first place in Category I of the All-America Selections landscape design contest. Three years ago, All-America Selections launched a new contest for almost 200 display gardens to encourage new and exciting landscaping ideas with AAS winners. The success of the program has been beyond expectations and continues to

grow and impress every year. This year’s contest asked participants to expand on a theme of using containers in the landscape. This contest is a landscape design contest incorporating AAS winners, past and present. Each garden is responsible for creating and executing the design, generating publicity surrounding the contest, then submitting the photos, proof of publicity and an overall description of their design.

Down on the Farm was the theme for the Spooner Ag Research Station display garden, celebrating family farmers who survived through hard work and ingenuity. Using salvaged typical household items, North Country Master Gardener Volunteers and Extension employees organized and planted garden rooms, then filled and interspersed those items with AAS winners to provide a riot of color. Judges gave this garden high rankings be-

cause of the number of AAS winners used along with the unique props that helped tell an educational story. Then, to top it off, the Spooner group did a fantastic job of spreading the word among their local community via social media, radio, newspapers, their own website, e-newsletters and with the University of Wisconsin’s Extension programs. – with information from AAS website

Area news at a glance =RICE LAKE — A 16-year-old driver suspected of drugged driving allegedly ran a red light at Rice Lake’s Messenger Street, striking a car, which caused the car to hit the recently renovated Main Street Market building on Saturday, Oct. 11. While there was no one in the co-op at the time of the crash, the general manager said the upstairs tenants said the jolt, “felt like an earthquake.” The manager commented, ”It doesn’t look too bad from the outside.” The inside wall is a differ-

ent story. “It looks pretty bad – the wall is cracked from the floor all the way to the ceiling, and there are big chunks of plaster that fell out. We needed to get an engineer to evaluate the damage and get it fixed.” — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• WHITEWATER — The Cumberland High School marching band capped off

RICE LAKE — Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs” will be the fall production of the UW-Barron County drama department. The funny, rich and poignant play will be presented Thursday–Saturday, Nov. 6-8, in the campus Fine Arts Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Winner of the 1983 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, “Brighton Beach Memoirs” is part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy and is the portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower-middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, Neil Simon’s alias in the play, is the narrator and central character and is played by Samuel TonnerFoight, Rice Lake. Dreaming of baseball and girls, he must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn. His formidable mother is played

by Helen Goosby, Barron; overworked father, John Lloyd, Shell Lake; and his older brother Stanley, Roger Mulderink, Chetek. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, Gabby Ashlin, Rice Lake; her two young but rapidly aging daughters, Olivia Jensen, Chetek, and Aisha Fultz, Balsam Lake, and you have a recipe for hilarity served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states, “if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t be living here.” This production is intended for mature audiences. Reservations can be made by calling the campus box office at 715-234-8176, ext. 5457. — from UWBC

Over 50 years of cooperative service

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — For the last article in our series celebrating cooperatives for National Cooperatives Month the spotlight will be focused on credit unions and a local credit union in particular. Credit unions are one of the five main sectors of the cooperative business model that provided 6,934 jobs statewide in 2012. According to a UW-Madison study, this sector alone generated over $1.23 billion in revenue and $385 million in wages. “Indianhead Credit Union is a memberowned, member-run financial cooperative dedicated to the credit union motto ‘not for profit, not for charity, but for service,’” said Kathy Berndt, Indianhead Credit Union president. Indianhead Credit Union has been serving its members since 1961 when seven regular working people saw a need for financial services, particularly loans to persons of average means. The credit union started out with an office at the Spooner Co-op store to serve residents of Washburn County. At that time, membership was 25 cents, $5 a share and they only did small consumer loans. Since then two mergers have allowed the credit union to expand with a branch office in Grantsburg and three school

Today, the credit union has extended their charter to serve members in five counties including Barron, Burnett, Polk, Sawyer and Washburn counties. “Of the 19 employees that we have, four have been with us between 15 and 20

years, four have been with us for 25 years and one has been with us for over 25 years,” said Berndt. Between its branch offices the credit union employs 19 individuals, 14 full time and five part time. In 2013 the credit union’s payroll was over

The Indianhead Credit Union in Spooner has 10 staff members; four of them are (L to R): Kelly Dahlstrom, Freddie Conner, Cindy Olson and Cheri VanGuilder. — Photos submitted

$650,000. Since they first opened, their services have expanded to include a range of consumer loans, real estate loans, a variety of savings accounts, ATM debit and credit cards, IRA accounts, and motor vehicle and DNR registrations. “At the end of September our assets were $44,190,852, we had $20,410,933 in loans and $39,786,368 in savings,” said Berndt. Indianhead Credit Union membership is 6,111 and it is run by a sevenmember board of directors. Each spring members are invited to attend the credit union’s annual meeting to elect board members, share their ideas and enjoy a complimentary dinner, often with entertainment. “Financial education is one of the areas that we are greatly involved in,” said Berndt. Staying true to the credit union motto, Indianhead Credit Union has organized Mad City, a budget simulation training, in eight schools in Washburn, Burnett and Polk counties. The credit union also participates in the Money Smart Week program and organizes drives to benefit the local food pantry.

Treats and more treats

don’t know about you but I love sugary treats. There seems to be a word to describe most of us; so I guess my word would be carb-a-holic. This time of year I have an excuse to have bags of fun-size candy bars and candy corn in my kitchen cupboard. The sad part is that I may have to replenish my supply before children come knocking at my door dressed in special costumes. According to the National Confectioners Association, 72 percent of Americans prefer chocolate treats for Halloween. Even though I wasn’t surveyed, I would fall into the 72 percent. They also stated that among candy corn fans, 43 percent prefer eating the narrow white end first.

I personally mix the candy corn with peanuts and toss the entire handful into my mouth. It was reported in the Profile Magazine that Americans eat 20 million pounds of candy corn each year. Among the popular treats handed out at parades and on doorsteps come Oct. 31 is the Tootsie Roll. When Leo Hirshfield began making the chewy chocolate in 1896, he used the nickname of his 5-yearold daughter, Clara, to name his treat.

more candy than they needed. Granddaughter Adalyn spent time sorting out piles of the different kinds she received. She made piles of this is for daddy, this is for me, and so forth. Even after giving away some of her treats, she still had more than she should consume. Adalyn does have a reaction when she has too much sugar. After putting up with an unacceptable behavior, Adalyn’s mom warned her that if she kept it up the candy was going to be thrown in the trash. Well, the warning wasn’t taken seriously and her mom, for once, made good on a threat. The candy was thrown away. Adalyn’s response was, “When’s the next parade?”

Speaking of how some candies are named, Otto Schnering, who rebranded his Kandy Kake bar in 1921, said the name Baby Ruth was inspired by President Grover Cleveland’s daughter, Ruth, not the baseball star Babe Ruth. The Kandy Kake bar was first introduced in 1916. M&M’s got their start in 1941 and were introduced to World War II soldiers. The chocolate candy that would “melt in your mouth, not in your hands,” was packaged in pocket-size cardboard tubes that fit into GI cargo pants. After attending a parade this summer my grandchildren went home with

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner here may be someone, somewhere, perhaps at lunch, hunched over some sort of crispy salad, who does not like bread. As for me, I have an inborn love for bread. The aroma of bread baking in the oven is an immense pleasure. The taste of wheat bread does not need honey. The texture of a slice of hearty wheaten bread appeals to all my senses and makes me feel like I am flying on joyful wings. Bread sings to me, and has sung to generations before us. Bread is beautiful. It may be too rich for my diet, but I can’t help lovin’ it. When I was a little child, I sometimes stayed overnight at my grandmother’s house. I remember times when my aunt or my mother or my uncle would be sitting at the kitchen table and my grandmother would bring out a loaf of her dark wheat bread. She would hold the loaf in her arms like a baby. Then she’d take her bread knife, hold the loaf crosswise against her apron in her left arm, and cut the slices from the loaf, bringing the blade toward her. “Oh! No! Don’t do that! You’ll cut yourself!” everyone would yell. She would calmly proceed

nut factory. They made those small packages of graham crackers with peanut butter. They were popular in vending machines. When they were packaged, sometimes the crackers might break and be crushed and those were saved and made available to the employees to purchase for a few cents for a little bag of them. I used to take some home. Good for snacks and for a pie. Making a pie with a graham cracker crust meant getting out the rolling pin and crushing them. One time I purchased a package of graham crackers that were burned on the edges. They were so bad that I actually wrote to the company to complain. I also told them that the peanut factory sold crushed graham crackers to employees. I told them they should package crushed graham crackers and sell them. I got back a nice letter, and a box full of graham crackers and a couple of their other products. It was not long before packaged graham cracker crumbs were appearing in our stores. I don’t know if my suggestion was the inspiration for them, because ideas often float around at the same time. It was time for them and they came to us and we buy them.

Commercial bread makers have to produce a product with some kind of shelf life. Wheat gets rancid quickly. Even on the farm, my whole wheat bread was poor the second day and went to the chickens the third day. There are few ingredients in bread. There’s flour, fat, water, yeast, salt, sugar, milk and eggs. Bread recipes fill our cookbooks to overflowing. It’s amazing how many things, fruits, nuts and veggies, you can add to basic bread for the gourmet. Just like me, ordinary people like bread and consider it the staff of life. It’s the one food we depend upon. Not only rye bread, soda bread, unleavened bread, but quick breads including biscuits and muffins are among our favorite things. Other bread products are packaged bread crumbs, croutons, stuffing bread, and we like bread pudding, French toast, and toast that pops from our toasters. Years ago there was a doctor named Graham who recommended using wheat flour to help our children grow up healthy. They named the flour after him, and the graham crackers. These were nice for babies, and are a kind of staple now. One time I happened to work at a pea-

to cut nice even slices in her own way, placing them on a plate for us to eat as the best part of our breakfast. She would not cut herself. She had been doing it all her life and she baked bread I would call wonderful. Bread is manna from heaven. As children we cried for store-bought bread. It was that white loaf, the bleached-out and fluffy, crustless kind, packaged with a low price tag, and presliced for us. It’s a wonder we survived. With my own family I sometimes bought this kind of bread, but at times baked my own. By the time we moved to Wisconsin, with 10 in our family, I was baking bread twice a week. I did not bake whole-wheat bread, but I used unbleached flour and made a dozen loaves at a time. It was not the greatest bread in the world, but it tasted good and there was a lot of it. There are bakers who produce artisan bread, handcrafted using whole grains and high-quality ingredients. Not our major bakers. Most of today’s wheat bread available in our local stores is made with white flour with caramel color added. It’s an illusion! True whole wheat bread is probably better for us, but it is firm and weighs a ton.

Lakers downed by Dragons in the regional playoffs

Larry Samson | Staff writer SIREN — The Shell Lake volleyball season came to an end with a 0-3 defeat to the Siren Dragons in the second round of the Division 4 Regionals on Thursday, Oct. 23, in Siren. Siren would go on to win the regional championship with a 3-0 win over Winter on Saturday, Oct. 25, in Winter. Winter was the top seed but they fell 25-14, 25-14 and 27-25 in the best of five games. Siren will travel to Washburn on Thursday, Oct. 30, to play the first round of the sectionals. Shell Lake started out the week with a 3-0 win over Birchwood in the first round, winning 25-13, 25-17 and 25-13 on Tuesday, Oct. 21. Sheri Clark was 22 of 22 with serves and had 27 assists on the evening. Amber Anderson had a good night at the net with a personal season-high nine kills. Amanda Brereton had six kills out of 11 attempts. “Shell Lake had a good showing! The girls showed up ready to play,” coach Jessica Furchtenicht said of her team.

Shell Lake got off to a slow start with Siren. They gave up six unanswered points. They were 8-15 before they found their offense, coming back to lose 21-25. In the second game, Shell Lake played tough until Siren pulled away in the end, winning 19-25. With the Siren offense hot, they quickly defeated Shell Lake 14-25 in the final game. “We had a great showing at the serve line by our seniors, Tia Carlson was 10 for 10 and Katie Slater was nine for nine. We are saying goodbye to three talented, driven, respectful and true leaders, Kaylea Kidder, Katie Slater and Tia Carlson. They will be greatly missed next season,” the coach said of her three varsity seniors. Delayna York is a senior who played on the JV team. This will also be her last season. Katie Slater goes on the attack against Siren in the second round of the playoffs on Thursday, Oct. 23. The Siren defense proved too tough and Shell Lake lost in three games.

OCC shoe box collection times announced BURNETT/WASHBURN COUNTIES – The time is less than a month away to bring your filled shoe boxes to a collection site for Operation Christmas Child. Friends and churches have been preparing for this week all year, shopping for gifts and making handmade items such as knitted stocking hats. Jan Clark and her sister, Sandy Wickman, knitted over 100 hats which were given away at the fall kickoff event at Siren Covenant Church on Sept. 28 to help start a new box for the nearly 100 people who attended. Following a barbecue and potato salad dinner, Vladimir “Ted” Foreman spoke about his experience receiving a box when he was 9 years old and how it impacted his decision to give his life over to Jesus many years later when he was adopted into an American family along with his two younger sisters. His story was a reminder of how these gift boxes are not just a nice thing to do for poor children in Third World countries for Christmas, but also they are a missions project over a long period of time that has changed whole families from just one gift box. He is just one of many children who have learned about Jesus’ love for them and have responded to the message of hope in a hopeless world through the follow-up children’s studies offered called

“The Greatest Journey.” A Samaritan’s Purse representative from Minneapolis, Nicole Sheldon, accompanied Foreman and took questions from the audience to teach them how to pack a box for children in sensitive countries that are war torn and under persecution from terrorist groups or from Vladimir “Ted” Foreman natural disaster areas.

Sunday, November 2, 2014 Twenty First Sunday After Pentecost

here are some psychologists who believe that our need for safety, structure and stability are more T important than nearly anything else. Perhaps they are

right. When we look around and feel threatened and insecure, we become frightened and build what we think are protective walls to make us safe and secure. Yet, often the protective walls we have wrapped around us are suddenly removed and we become frightened and afraid. Could it be that God is offering us an unplanned opportunity to grow closer to him? Disaster strikes and we immediately grasp for his protection. We suddenly realize we desperately need him, and since there is no one else to turn to, call on him for help. We need a miracle-working God and want him to do something special for us. So, we call on him in desperation because we need help and believe that only he can rescue us. David did not have an easy life. From infancy to old age he knew and experienced the stress, strain and storms of life. We find many examples of this in his writings. One is when he cried, “I give my soul to you, O Lord. All of me - body, mind and spirit - Lord, is now yours!” Save me and “Let me not be ashamed” for doubting you. David’s army and armor could not help. Overwhelmed with fear he called upon God. He knew that he needed a power beyond himself and knew who that power was. And when he called, God answered.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

The Halloween party, hosted by members of the Barronett Civic Club and held at the community center on Saturday, was probably one of the best ever. The center was filled almost to capacity with little ghosts, goblins, pirates, princesses – you get the picture. There were games, crafts, and, of course, a cakewalk. The food was beautiful and delicious. Thank you, civic club members, for all the work you did to make the day so memorable for so many little ones. The safe trick-or-treating in downtown Cumberland was great again this year. Almost every business on Hwy. 63 had someone out front passing out candy to the little ones. And, most of the people who were passing out the candy were also wearing costumes. I wonder if anyone kept a count of the number of children who were out that day. The sidewalks on both sides of the street were pretty full of little ones and their parents. One more really great thing about the safe trick-ortreating in Cumberland is that the firefighters are there to direct traffic at the intersections. Even the weather cooperated – it was a beautifully sunny day – to make the day special for the little trickor-treaters. If you didn’t get a chance to go to the Barronett Dragons 4-H Club haunted trail last weekend, you have one more chance. The trail will be open again on Saturday, Nov. 1. The trail is fun from beginning to end. It starts with a hayride from the Thompson mini storage to the trail, and then goes through a dark forest surrounded by a murky swamp. Go if you dare – and be prepared to be frightfully frightened. For more information, give Peg Thompson a call at 715-822-8872. Remember to watch out for kids in costumes running around on Friday evening. I’m sure they will be out in force, knocking on doors, and crossing streets without looking both ways. We want everyone to have a happy and safe Halloween.

Stone Lake Last week was such a beauty with all of the beautiful, vibrant fall colors and the warm weather. This week it’s a totally different story, with the colder weather taking over. I wish the fall weather would last a bit longer, but this is what Wisconsin is all about. Be sure to get your flu shot. It’s very important to get these shots, as there are many different strains of flu this year. The Holiday House is coming very soon, with new holiday items, stocking stuffers and gifts. The Holiday House is in a new location this year, right on Main Street in downtown Stone Lake. The doors will open at 10 a.m. starting on Friday, Nov. 7, and be open every Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. till 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. For more information on this and any upcoming events be sure to check out the Stone Lake website. The Stone Lake area community will be

For all the little Shell Lake trick-or-treaters, Pat Olson will be handing out treats between the Scoop “&” Brew and Lakeview Bar and Grill and hopes you are able to stop by. Oh, and remember that First Lutheran in Cumberland is having a Halloween party for kids on Friday evening, starting at 4 p.m. There will be games, treats, prizes, crafts, a fun story and trunk or treat. Sounds like something for everyone. Steven Hanson was one of the many young people who were confirmed at Augustana Lutheran Church in Cumberland on Sunday. After the ceremony, Debbie and Craig Lehmann hosted a dinner for Steven at their home. Most of the Lehmann clan was there to congratulate Steven and help him celebrate. The food was delicious, naturally, and everyone had a great time visiting. Steven is an avid Viking fan, and even they cooperated to make his day special by winning against Tampa Bay in overtime. Boy, that doesn’t happen just every week. The confirmation rehearsal dinner was on Wednesday night, and Steven had quite a few family members there as well. In addition to his mom and stepdad, Angie and Shane Lehmann, his dinner guests were Mitzi and Ralph O’Laughlin, Anitia Lehmann, Lois Mork and Debbie Lehmann. Steven gave a speech at the dinner and Anitia said that he did very well with that. One more thing about Steven, he received a letter on Wednesday informing him that he had been voted into the National Honor Society. Wow! Way to go Steven. I think we can expect great things from him in the future. Pat Sweet and her twisted sisters are at it again. They, and of course a brother and a couple of husbands, met at Pat and Doug’s home on Saturday for a potluck dinner, some joking around, and a few card games. Pat and Doug’s guests were

our lefse made for Thanksgiving. Anyway, we’ll keep her busy. And, if you’d like to visit with her, feel free to stop by. You know, of course, that Barronett Lutheran will not be hosting the Scandinavian smorgasbord this year. But, I do hope that you will join us at Our Savior’s. Most of the recipes we had for our dinner came from the ladies at that church. I grew up about a quarter mile north of the church, and still consider it home. The members of Our Savior’s are wonderful, and they will make you feel right at home. There is usually a wait to get to the dining room, but they have a craft and bake sale upstairs so the time goes by fast. Hope to see you there. Little Wrig Marsh came over on Friday to help me clean leaves off the yard. We raked them, put them in a tarp, carried the tarp to the Gator, and took them up to the burn pile in the garden. He loves helping with things like that. Then, that afternoon, we picked up Tru Lehmann and went to look for pumpkins. We found the perfect ones at one of Hank’s farm trucks in Spooner. Now we just have to find some time this coming week to carve them. I think I’ll have the little ones draw pictures on them, and Duane and I will do the actual carving. Man, I love having the little ones around. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Henry Lueck, who passed away last week. Henry was a wonderful man, and he will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Happy Halloween. See you next time.

Carol and Lee Johnson, Janice and Larry Sutherland, Sandy Chartrand and Brad Semm. They always have so much fun and laugh so much, when they get together. I won’t go into all the details of the card games, who won and who lost, etc., because, actually, winning is not the important part. It’s how much fun a person has playing the game. Right ladies? Pat and Doug had some wonderful news from Billings, Mont. They have a new great-grandson. The little guy was born to Nick and Ashley Parker on Oct. 21. As of Sunday, they hadn’t settled on a name yet, but his big brother and sisters, Mason, Kenzie and Jenessa, are thrilled with the new baby. Congratulations to the Parker family on their new little bundle of joy. Lynn Thon and I were among the many guests at little Alex Anderson’s first birthday party, hosted by his mom, Jessi Stouffer, on Saturday. Alex had a lot of fun opening his gifts after he found out there was something in the bags more interesting than tissue paper. He had a beautiful cake, decorated with construction equipment, and lots of little friends to share it with. We had a lot of fun celebrating his big day with him. Get-well wishes go out to Elmer Anderson, who was a little wobbly on his feet last week, but who is doing much better now. Sue Meier will be up this weekend. We are planning to go to the Scandinavian dinner at Our Savior’s Lutheran in Campia while she is here. And, if the weather is nice, we plan to go up to Bayfield to visit one of her friends. And, maybe, Anitia Lehmann will come over and we’ll get

We had nice weather all weekend. Monday was partly cloudy but still and cool. Lillian reported that her brother, Marvin, is now home from the hospital but his wife, Josie, remains in the local hospital. Our get-well wishes go to them. Congratulations to Karen and Pete Quam who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Saturday night, Oct. 25, at the Plaza Hotel in Eau Claire. Many from Shell Lake attended. Arlys Santiago was there and reported a very good time. Peder Pederson had dinner at his daughter, Cheri, and Steve Minot’s, celebrating the 24th birthdays of twins Michelle and Tonya who were home from Eau Claire where they both work in a hospital.

ing to pick me up to go to Amherst for the wedding of granddaughter Megan Pederson and Dustin Zeiman of Eau Claire. Megan is the daughter of Tim and Susan Pederson. A lot of Pedersons and Quams were there. Warren and Helen Quam, of this area, were also there being the grandparents of Megan. The reception was held in Waupaca, with a good dinner. We also celebrated Tim’s birthday on Sunday, Oct. 26, at the time of the gift opening. Saturday happened to be my birthday, so I had a lot of greetings. The groom said the birthday present he gave me was a new grandson in-law, which was really nice. Life is like a shower. One wrong turn and you’re in hot water. Sorry for the lack of news. Call me at 715-468-7434.

Saturday will already be November. How this past year has gone by. And it’s of course getting closer to Christmas. You know it was only 59 days from Oct. 26. Happy birthday to our Halloween guy, Doug Vanderhoof, as he enjoys that special day with lots more to come on Oct. 31. Happy birthday to Karen Scribner on her special day, Oct. 28, with many more Karen. Happy birthday to Abby Smith on Nov. 1. Have a great one Abby.

Nov. 6, a very happy birthday to Marv Knoop, Don Trott, Sarah Petz, Marie Andrea, Chloe Babclik and to Charles Michael Murray as they enjoy their special day with many more. Last weekend, according to Lisa Mangelsen, a crew of about 20-25 people got together, including Lisa and her sister, Amy, to help get up Maynard Mangelsen’s wood. Ronda had dinner and supper for the crew. A nice job done. This past week Odden’s crew got together to chop silage for Richy Lawrence. They chopped on Harry Lawrence’s and Honetors’ and they chopped into a couple of big trucks with sides on them. It was done in one day and it certainly went fast. Have you been hit by the mice yet? Well they tell us there will be a large amount of mice this year and they want in your house and they’ll find a way in. So get that mouse poison ready or those mousetraps. You know I have a couple of apple trees in my yard and one night this past week I went out and around the corner and shined the flashlight to see what was eating the apples. Well there stood two deer busy eating apples. Of course, they got scared with the light on them and

News from the service SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Air Force Airman Kaitlyn M. Owens graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Owens is the daughter of Rachel M. Bailey, Chisago City, Minn., and Donald E. Owens, Minong. She is a 2013 graduate of Chisago Lakes High School, Lindstrom, Minn. – submitted

ran. Farmers, would you get up and milk those bossies before daylight after reading the following? In 1914 the average corn yield was 25.9 bushels per acre. In 1964 it was a little better and I could find myself getting out of bed with a corn total 62.9 bushel per acre. In 2013 grain corn harvest was 878.7 million bushels. Now that’s worth getting up for. My sister, Dot Gudlin, had her right knee replaced Oct. 13 and on Oct. 16 she went to a rehab center for a couple of weeks. She tells us she is in great pain yet and has to have therapy at least three times a day and also the machine works her leg. So come Sunday, Nov. 2, she will be going home if the doctor lets her go. Mike Murray has been at his mother-in-law’s deer hunting later in the afternoon and goes home to Rice Lake in the evening. Continue to get well, Jerry Besse. Saturday, Cecil and Evelyn Melton, Vicki and Don Trott, and Allan and Julie Melton enjoyed breakfast at Economart. Evelyn says it was real nice and they had a good time. On Sunday, Vicki was at the Meltons and enjoyed playing cards with her folks. On Thursday, Beth Hansen and her daughter, Alyssa, came to visit her mom and dad, the Carl Meisters. It was teachers convention. Come Nov. 16 the Smith’s Apple Orchard will be closing so take a trip out and get some good apples and some of Lynn’s great baking with that little something Lynn puts in each batch of baking. Last Wednesday, I went to Rice Lake. I guess I’ve been home too much and needed to get away. But I did a lot of different things while there and got my Christmas shopping done for the year. Yes, I know, it’s early, but who wants to shop with crying babies who would rather be home and in their own bed and those crowds of people? It just isn’t any fun then. Answer to No. 4. Are you a genius? Rachel. Are you a genius? What is the number that is one more than one-tenth of one-fifth of one-half of 4,000? I see pickup loads and wagon loads of wood going by for the last three or four weeks. Don’t know where it’s coming from but the way they haul it out they must be selling it. Saturday was the beautiful wedding of Megan Pederson and Dustin Zieman in Amherst. The Quams and Pedersons of Shell Lake attended. We wish the newlyweds many years of happiness. A memorial service will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Scalzo-Taylor Chapel in Spooner for Tom VanSelus. Talking with Ann Johnson we find Ann’s sister-inlaw, Lolly Ackley, has died. Funeral services were held Wednesday in Minong. Lolly was married to Ann’s brother, Earl. Cheri Amundson was at her mom’s, Ann’s, on Saturday. Ann tells us her son, Duane, got the soybeans combined now. A good job done right, Duane. I hear tell there is going to be a wood shortage this coming winter. We certainly don’t need that do we? Saturday night, Tom and Sunshine and kids had a Halloween pumpkincutting contest. Enjoying the party were Beth and Garry Crosby, Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann and Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase, Morgan and Joyel. All report a good time carving. Beth tells us Shorty and Tom have been combining beans and corn for others and for themselves. Scatter sunshine. Have a great week!

by Marian Furchtenicht This past week our beautiful colored leaves fell in showers. The trees here are all bare now except for some of the rusty oaks and the golden tamaracks that are still colorful. It’s been absolutely beautiful weatherwise. Folks are taking advantage and getting yards cleaned up, raking and mulching and other fall jobs. Farmers around are busy combining corn now after getting the soybeans finished up last week and do appreciate the great weather for harvesting. Friday night is trick-or-treat night, the spooky holiday, so hope you got your treat supplies and the costumes ready. Saturday night it’s time to reset clocks. Remember to fall back. That’s always easier than springing ahead. The only thing, the days seem to get shorter fast. Ryan and Sarah Schmidt, Oconomowoc, have a new baby daughter, Cameron Louise, born Oct. 21. Proud grands are Mark and Debbie West. This makes 25 greatgrands for Elfreda West. Grandma Deb went down to be with them and to meet the new one. Congrats to all. Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, spent Sunday at his mom’s, Virginia’s, doing some fall things while here. Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman attended the wedding reception of John and Stephanie Villella held at the Das Lach Haus in Cumberland. A good friend of theirs, Sarah Hawkinson from the Milwaukee area, spent the weekend with the Zimmermans and also attended the reception. Vivian Bergman went to the Twin Cities on Sunday to help her great-grandnephew, Nathan Bergman, celebrate his sixth birthday. Belated wishes to him. Jeff Hutton, Dalhart, Texas, came on Friday to Greg and Sue Krantz’s to spend time with Lainey and Chane. He headed back Sunday afternoon. Sue Krantz took a Sunday night supper to her folks, Hugh and Sue Smith. I visited Carolyn West. She reports Hokey is doing real well. He had hip replacement Oct. 20 at Mayo. He has been in the rehab there and will be coming home during this coming week. She said the rehab facility is really nice. Hoping you will be up and running real soon Hokey. Jay Okonek was out goose hunting and he stopped to see baby grandson Knox on Sunday at son John and Jill’s. They live on the Bennewitz place in Beaver Brook. Gloria Frey has been going back and forth to Rice Lake to spend time with her mother. She says she is doing good one day and not at all the next. The annual Jitrnice dinner will be held at the Ceska Opera House in Haugen on Sunday, Nov. 2. This is their 23rd year. They have old-time music onstage during the meal. Nov. 4 is Election Day. Go cast your ballot and get this over. Folks are getting tired of all the campaigning. Maybe we can concentrate on something else. There were 20 folks at the Washburn County Historical Museum thank-you dinner held at Peggy’s in Shell Lake last Tuesday evening. Folks enjoyed some great food and fellowship. A speedy recovery to Elmer Anderson, a very active member, who was in the hospital and unable to attend. The Backwoods Saloon is having their Halloween party bus ride bar hop at 7 p.m. Saturday night. Reports that last year it was a blast. Sounds like fun, but I’m too old for blasts. I was a coffee visitor at Bonnie Helmer’s in Shell Lake one day. She told me about her trip to the West Bend area. Mavis Schlapper and Joyce Wade took in the dance at the Pines in Bloomer on Saturday. Birthday wishes go out this week to Lawson Ripplinger, Devin Guggenberger and to Indiana to Eileen Correll, Oct. 29; Pastor Greg Harrell and Dave Torbenson on Oct. 30; Ben Frey, Molly Pearson, Karen Dostal and Sherri Kasten on Halloween day; Tammy Holman, Gene Hendrickson, Zion Zaloudek, Gaven Sundeen, Karen Taylor, Jeff Pederson, Daryl Marschall and Athena Lehman, Nov. 1; Rod Ripley, Nov. 2; Alex Roeser, Wilber Prock, Jennie Wise, Linda Nielsen, Carol Williams, Bob LeMoine and Megan Stodola, Nov. 3; Debbie Benjamin, Alyce Cusick and Bev Root, Nov. 4; Jolene Loew, Jesse Gronning and Jean Hentsch, Nov. 5.

INFORMATION TO VOTERS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence if the voter provides proof of residence. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth or machine and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice. Where hand-count paper ballots are used, the voter shall make a mark (X) in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall make a cross (X) in the square next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall make a cross (X) in the square next to “no” if opposed to the question. Where an optical scan voting system is used, the voter shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote, and fill in the oval or connect the arrow on the write-in line. On referendum questions, the voter shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to “no” if opposed to the question.

After casting his or her vote, the voter shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot, and promptly leave the polling place. After an official hand-count 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 voter shall then deposit his or her folded ballot in the proper ballot box or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit, and leave the polling place promptly. After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve so the marks do not show. The voter shall then insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system is used, the voter shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit.

The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter.

NOTICE OF REFERENDUM ELECTION NOVEMBER 4, 2014

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that at an election to be held in the several towns, villages, wards and election districts of the State of Wisconsin, on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, the following question will be submitted to a vote of the people pursuant to law:

2013 ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION 1 To renumber section 9 of Article IV; and to create section 9 (2) of Article IV and section 11 of Article VIII of the Constitution; relating to: creation of a department of transportation, creation of a transportation fund and deposit of funds into the transportation fund (second consideration). Whereas, the 2011 Legislature in regular session considered a proposed amendment to the Constitution in 2011 Senate Joint Resolution 23, which became 2011 Enrolled Joint Resolution 4, and agreed to it by a majority of the members elected to each of the two houses, which proposed amendment reads as follows: SECTION 1. Section 9 of Article IV of the constitution is renumbered section 9 (1) of article IV. SECTION 2. Section 9 (2) of Article IV of the Constitution is created to read: [Article IV] Section 9 (2) The Legislature shall provide by law for the establishment of a department of transportation and a transportation fund. SECTION 3. Section 11 of Article VIII of the Constitution is created to read: [Article VIII] Section 11. All funds collected by the state from any taxes or fees levied or imposed for the licensing of motor vehicle operators, for the titling, licensing or registration of motor vehicles, for motor vehicle fuel, or for the use of roadways, highways or bridges and from taxes and fees levied or imposed for aircraft, airline property or aviation fuel or for railroads or railroad property shall be deposited only into the transportation fund or with a trustee for the benefit of the department of transportation or the holders of transportation-related revenue bonds, except for collections from taxes or fees in existence on December 31, 2010, that were not being deposited in the transportation fund on that date. None of the funds collected or received by the state from any source and deposited into the transportation fund shall be lapsed, further transferred, or appropriated to any program that is not directly administered by the department of transportation in furtherance of the department’s responsibility for the planning, promotion and protection of all transportation systems in the state except for programs for which there was an appropriation from the transportation fund on Dec. 31, 2010. In this section, the term “motor vehicle” does not include any all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles or watercraft. SECTION 4. Numbering of new provision. If another constitutional amendment ratified by the people creates the number of any provision created in this joint resolution, the chief of the legislative reference bureau shall determine the sequencing and the numbering of the provisions whose numbers conflict. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Assembly, the Senate concurring, That the foregoing proposed amendment to the Constitution is agreed to by the 2013 Legislature; and, be it further Resolved, That the foregoing proposed amendment to the Constitution be submitted to a vote of the people at the election to be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November 2014; and, be it further Resolved, That the question concerning ratification of the foregoing proposed amendment to the Constitution be stated on the ballot as follows:

QUESTION 1: “Creation of a Transportation Fund. Shall section 9 (2) of Article IV and section 11 of Article VIII of the Constitution be created to require that revenues generated by use of the state transportation system be deposited into a transportation fund administered by a department of transportation for the exclusive purpose of funding Wisconsin’s transportation systems and to prohibit any transfers or lapses from this fund?” EXPLANATION In general, funds collected in fees and taxes may be appropriated for any public purpose determined by the Legislature. Wisconsin’s transportation fund, which currently exists under statute, is designed to be the source of funding for all modes of transportation in the state. Wisconsin law requires that specific revenue streams such as taxes or fees related to motor vehicles, aircraft and railroads be deposited into the transportation fund. At times, the Legislature has transferred monies initially deposited into the transportation fund to programs with nontransportation-related purposes. Such transfers have typically been to general revenue funds, which are used for state programs such as education, health care and shared revenue. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has suggested that these transfers are permissible under current law. In essence, the proposed amendment would change the Wisconsin Constitution to require that revenues generated by specified uses of the state transportation system be deposited into a transportation fund and expended only for transportation-related purposes. A “yes” vote on this question would establish a Department of Transportation and a transportation fund in the state Constitution. The current Department of Transportation and transportation fund exist only under statute. A “yes” vote would mean that all funds collected from taxes or fees in existence after December 31, 2010, for the licensing of motor vehicle operators, for the titling, licensing or registration of motor vehicles, for motor vehicle fuel, or for the use of roadways, highways or bridges, and from taxes and fees levied or imposed for aircraft, airline property, or aviation fuel or for railroads or railroad property would be deposited in the transportation fund or with certain authorized parties, such as a trustee for the benefit of the department of transportation. Funds in the transportation fund may not be lapsed, further transferred or used for any program that is not directly administered by the Department of Transportation in furtherance of the department’s responsibility for the planning, promotion and protection of all transportation systems in the state (except for programs with an appropriation from the statutory transportation fund as of December 31, 2010). The proposed amendment does not define “transportation systems.” A “no” vote would mean that the Department of Transportation continues to be a statutory agency. It also would mean that monies collected from motor vehicle, aircraft, and railroad fees and taxes could be appropriated by the Legislature for transportation systems or for other programs as determined by the Legislature. DONE in the County of Washburn, this 24th day of October, 2014. Lolita Olson Washburn County Clerk 616720 11r WNAXLP

Haunting memories of school

These are the cool kids who had to sit in detention. They are trapped in a detention that they cannot escape from. These and other sights were seen at the Haunted Schoolhouse sponsored by the Shell Lake Arts Center, Shell Lake Education Foundation and the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce. The event was held on Friday, Oct. 24, and Saturday, Oct. 25. You can relax until next Halloween when the Haunted Schoolhouse opens again.
