Walker if a recall election is held. After 42 years as northern Wisconsin’s U.S. representative, Dave Obey decided against running for another term and retired in January. But now, he’s angry enough to get back into the ring if Walker is recalled, “What he has done to crunch education and what he has done to strip workers of their legitimate bargaining rights is bad enough.” But Obey says new Republican-backed voter ID laws are even worse, “When you start putting up barriers to people casting their votes at election time, you are going right at the guts of democracy, and I think it’s outrageous.” But Obey isn’t his own first choice. He hopes retiring U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl or Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett run instead of him, “Sometimes you don’t get what you prefer in politics, and in that case I would have to think about it.” Recall petitions against Walker could begin Nov. 15 with an election as early as next spring. – Mike Simonson, Wisconsin Public Radio ••• BIRCHWOOD - During November, a time to give thanks and honor Veterans Day, the American Red Cross invites eligible blood donors to give blood and honor those who have served the country in the Armed Forces.

Currently all blood types are needed, especially O negative, B negative and A negative. Type O negative, the universal blood type, can potentially be transfused to patients with any blood type, especially in emergency situations.

Kohler chosen editor of Minnesota newspaper
PAGE 2 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - OCTOBER 19, 2011
by Gary King Register editor CAMBRIDGE, Minn. - Regan Kohler, the former lead reporter for the Washburn County Register, has been hired as editor of the Isanti-Chisago County Star (www.presspubs.com/isanti/), a 2,000circulation weekly newspaper in Cambridge, Minn. Since leaving the Register a year ago, Kohler has been working in St. Paul, writing for a software company’s blog. She began her job as editor at the County Star just two weeks ago, noting in her introductory column that “it feels great to get back to the newspaper industry.” A 1997 graduate of Spooner High School and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Kohler of Spooner, Regan graduated in 2003 from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a degree in English literature and worked at the college paper, the UMD Statesman, for most of her career at the university. Her other journalism experience includes reporting for the Superior Daily Telegram, the Constellation, a Duluth publication geared toward high school students, a short internship with the Northland Reader and an internship at the BBC WM in Birmingham, England, where she spent her junior year studying. She was hired in 2005 to report local government and feature news for the Washburn County Register and left in 2010 to pursue other career opportunities in the Twin Cities. Following is a column she submitted at the request of the Register editor.
Regan Kohler
You CAN go home again
by Regan Kohler Tom Wolfe was wrong: You CAN go home again. In a way. Two weeks ago, I started a new job as editor for the Isanti-Chisago County Star in Cambridge, Minn. If anyone recalls, I left the Register last December to try a “new adventure.” It sure was. Without going into the details (you’ll have to buy the book), I found out I hated marketing. I was meant to write, and report.
It was about a week after I’d been officially done at the Register. The job I’d taken was, to sum it up, not what I expected, and I realized something: I missed journalism. I’d be slinging 30-second sandwiches and think, “It’s the second Monday of the month. I should be at city council, then rushing to my office to get it typed up so I can focus on tomorrow morning’s work.” Or, I’d look at my planner and think, “Shoot, I forgot to write down to print off my assignment list/grab this week’s paper/look at the circuit court Web site. Oh, wait … “ I took a job doing online “journalism” for a different company in St. Paul, and it was good for awhile, but they wanted me to throw out everything I knew and start over. I had to be opinionated and try to incense readers. Anyone who knew me through the Register remembers I was, if nothing else, objective. It wasn’t easy. After I was through with that adventure, I found the Star. It’s very much like the Register, and it’s been great doing what I know again. It feels like home. Even the deadlines are the same. But now I’m the one who chooses what goes in, rather than simply submitting it. I now understand what my editor went through with my lengthy meetings articles! And the nice part about living in Cambridge (when I officially move there; I’m currently commuting) is that it’s halfway between the Metro Area, and home. The Register was the main outlet that gave me what I needed to do an editor’s job, and I thank everyone in the community for their support, past and present.
Gov. Scott Walker on the president’s jobs plan
by Patty Murray Wisconsin Public Radio GREEN BAY - Gov. Scott Walker isn’t taking sides on President Barack Obama’s job creation plans. He made the remarks after speaking at a minority business conference in Green Bay. Congress is taking up the president’s job creation proposal, but Walker expressed some doubts as to its efficacy. Walker says business owners he has talked to say they’d rather have fewer government-enforced regulations, “I think it’s one of those, the challenge is the amount of spending and where they’re getting that from. That’s created instability in the debt market earlier this year. I’d like for us now to reign in regulations and put job creators to work.” Walker spoke before the Minority Business Development meeting in Green Bay. He says small, diverse companies stand to benefit from a U.S. Navy contract with Marinette Marine to build a new class of combat ship.

Shell Lake Elementary receives School of Recognition honors
MADISON — State Superintendent Tony Evers praised Shell Lake Elementary School for being among 118 schools in the state that received Wisconsin School of Recognition honors for the 2011-12 school year during a special Wednesday, Oct. 12, ceremony at the state Capitol in Madison. Evers welcomed Carrie Herman, reading specialist; Kimberly Osterhues, elementary principal; and Kristina Stearns, sixth-grade teacher, to the recognition event. To be recognized, schools must be among those with the highest poverty rates in the state, have met adequate yearly progress goals under federal education law for the past two years, and have student achievement on state mathematics and reading assessments that is
higher than schools with similar poverty levels and grade configurations. “Partnerships among teachers, parents, administrators, school staff members and the community contribute to the academic success of students in schools that receive this honor,” Evers said. Shell Lake Elementary, grades three through six, has received the Wisconsin’s Schools of Recognition Award for the fourth consecutive year. This award reflects the quality of education students receive at the Shell Lake School District. It is the combined effort of a highly qualified staff, active parents and a supportive community that continually creates an environment of excellence within the Shell Lake Schools that this award was achieved. — from DPI

Nexen employees generous in United Way effort
WEBSTER — Nexen Group Inc. in Webster just concluded its 17th United Way campaign, and it was another big success. The fundraising campaign ended on Thursday, Oct. 13, and by the time the smoke cleared, Nexen employees had 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. A committee of Nexen employees helped orchestrate the United Way campaign. Campaign events included raffles, bake sales, lunch offerings and of course, employee pledges. Representatives from the Spooner Fire Department and the Burnett County Aging Program spoke about how United Way contributions have helped them. Pat Wojak was this year’s
chair of the United Way Committee, and was reminded of the quote by John Wooden, “You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” Over the past 16 campaigns, Nexen and its employees have raised over $600,000 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. Many employees view this as a way to give something back to the community. Nexen would like to encourage other businesses to participate in United Way fundraising efforts. Individuals who are interested in learning more having their own United Way fundraiser can contact John Coughlin at 715-377-0203. — from Nexen

Out with the old, in with the new
The new $5 million DNR Northwest Region headquarter building on Hwy. 70 in Spooner continues to take shape, overshadowing the former building which will be razed following completion of the new building late this year or early 2012, with at least 70 percent of the old building being reused or recycled. The old building was too small and was not energy efficient, according to a DNR spokesperson. The new, 18,100-square-foot headquarters will include a high-efficiency heating and cooling system with an under-the-floor distribution system. It will be built of wood and stone with a metal roof and rain garden. Three conference rooms, the largest with a capacity to hold 70 people, will be available for public use. - Photo by Gary King

Transportation reforms on the docket
The upcoming special session of the Wisconsin Legislature will include several transportation-related reforms to increase the competitiveness of our agriculture, manufacturing and shipping industries. These proposals include various changes to laws that regulate the size and weight of trucks on Wisconsin highways. Changes to truck size and weight laws should be made only after careful consideration of their impact not only on the trucking industry, but also on highway safety and the condition of our infrastructure. Recognizing this fact, the legislature
passed a law in 2007 requiring the Department of Transportation to complete a comprehensive technical study of our current truck size and weight laws, and how they could be improved. The Wisconsin Truck Size and Weight Study was completed in 2009. Two of the bills proposed in the current special session are a direct outgrowth of that study. Those bills will allow, under certain circumstances, an increase in maximum truck weight from 80,000 to 90,000 pounds. While it may seem that heavier trucks automatically mean more road
damage and less safe travel, that isn’t the case. By also requiring an extra axle to distribute the additional weight and increase braking ability, these heavier trucks can operate without greater degradation of our infrastructure or reducing highway safety. This carefully considered increase in truck weights means less trucks on the highway, lower cost for shippers and a competitive advantage for Wisconsin’s agriculture and manufacturing industries. Other proposals in the package of reforms will make regulatory changes that bring Wisconsin’s truck permitting laws
State GOP, in another of their Friday night raids, has voted to cut Wisconsinites social programs, including, BadgerCare ... etc. Sean Duffy sent out an expensive glossy flyer misleading people again. He claims to be fighting for Medicare, but in fact voted with Paul Ryan to kill Medicare as we know it. National Tea Party has given up on their presidential candidates since Palin dropped out and Bachmann is doing so poorly. They say their money (and lots of it, thanks to the terrible Supreme Court decision making corporations people with regard to campaign dona-
tions), will now be directed to winning Senate and congressional seats. We need to put our limited money and other resources toward local races such as Pat Kreitlow, www.kreitlowforcongress.com, to send Tea Party Congressman Duffy back to wood chopping. Former Gov. Tommy Thompson last week announced his bid for Herb Kohl’s U.S. Senate seat and obediently signed Grover Nordquist’s pledge to never raise taxes. Who is this Grover Nordquist to be running our GOP U.S. senators and congressman? Tea Party representatives, Sean Duffy and Ron Johnson, have signed on too.
I have not even started on the recall issue. Early in the governor’s dismantling of democracy in our state, there was a new law passed giving the governor alone absolute power to veto any decision made by any state agency ... they are now saying that applies to the Government Accountability Bureau, which is making the recall rules..

Neutral observation of Capitol protests
by Jeremy Shea MADISON – Readers may be interested in the observations of a fairly neutral nonparticipant in the ongoing turmoil surrounding the Capitol in Madison. In the interest of full disclosure, I confess I grew up in Shell Lake in the 1940s and ‘50s. My parents owned the Washburn County Register; in a rampant act of nepotism I was appointed sports editor when I was 10 years old. My parents sold the Register, and I attended several high schools, colleges, universities and eventually graduated from Harvard Law School. I practiced law in Madison for almost 50 years and am now a “recovering” lawyer. My former law firm, Quarles & Brady LL, has an office on the southeast corner of the Capitol Square, which provides an unparalleled view of the machinations across the street. Until the protests started, I had not realized that Madison is a company town, the company being public employees and their various unions. Practically all of my friends are employed (or were employed) by the state government, the federal government, the University of Wisconsin, the school system or the city of Madison. There is very little industry in Madison, so nonpublic unions are not significant. I am probably more conservative than my friends; I consider myself a member of an extinct species, a liberal Republican. I voted for John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson then for Richard Nixon (twice I am sorry to say). More recently I have crossed back and forth between party lines. Thus I think I can view the protests, if such is possible, with a degree of objectivity. First and foremost, the protests were peaceful. Certainly there were incidents of shouting, a little pushing and shoving, but violence was remarkably absent. Alas, the protests were also very loud; the drums and noisemakers were continuous for several long weeks. The noise could be heard all day long in the offices around the Capitol Square and of course in the Capitol itself. I doubt that little, if any, work could have been done by the state workers in the Capitol. In the surrounding office buildings the noise level was disruptive, although work was not totally halted. The occupation of the Capitol every evening was also peaceful but very smelly. I will not repeat the reports I heard as to the conditions of the bathrooms. Despite some early claims, there

That’s a wise move all around. Mark Gottlieb Secretary, Wisconsin Department of Transportation

AMERY — A high-speed chase that originated in Barron County ended near Amery late in the evening on Thursday, Oct. 6, as the man reached speeds of 100 mph, in the pursuit, which zigzagged across the eastern part of Polk County before the man was finally taken into custody, almost 40 miles later.

According to the cooperative’s general manager, Dan Dowling, the timetable for completion of the project, which will add 30,000 square feet of space for cheese production and packaging space, 17,000square-foot cooler, centralized offices and the renovation and expansion of the existing cheese store, is 12-18 months. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• ALMENA — Quick action by emergency responders to a farm accident left an Almena farmer and his family with hope that a partially amputated foot could be saved. James Raffesberger got caught in a feed mixer and was flown to Regions Hospital by a Life Link helicopter that landed in a field on the farm. Raffesberger underwent surgery to reattach the foot and will be facing more surgeries. — from Barron News-Shield ••• TURTLE LAKE — Barron County Sheriff’s Department and the Turtle Lake Police Department executed two separate search warrants at properties located in the village of Turtle Lake and in the Town of Almena. Recovered in the search were several stolen trailers and heavy equipment. The larger items included a Caterpillar excavator backhoe and a 2010 Bobcat skid steer. All the equipment and trailers were reported stolen from four separate counties in Minnesota. Wanted for questioning in this matter is Keith Duffee, 29, Turtle Lake, who currently has an outstanding warrant from probation for his arrest. — from the Cumberland Advocate ••• CAMERON — The Cameron Village Board got an earful from some Main Street businesspeople critical of the village’s snowplowing practices. The criticism came at the start of the board’s meeting that was to include the adoption of a newly drafted snow-removal policy. The board tabled a vote on the measure after village President Russ Hullback said that the proposal still needed some revisions. Most complaints centered on how the village cleared Main Street in the vicinity of the business district. Because Main Street is also CTH W, the county is responsible for plowing the middle two lanes, pushing the snow into the outside two lanes, which the village must clear. Chuck Beckman of Cameron Heating said that often the street isn’t cleared in front of his business until late morning, the lunch hour or even the next day. He believes that the accumulated snow is discouraging customers. He is also concerned that clearing the snow during the lunch hours creates more of a hazard to the public because the street is busier at that time. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype

Halloween treats for soldiers in Afghanistan
SPOONER — The Northwoods Support Team took time out from their Christmas stocking project to pack up some Halloween treats for the soldiers in the group they are supporting in Afghanistan. “These soldiers are up in the mountains and have no luxuries, so we thought they could use some love from back in the States,” commented a member of the support team. The Christmas stocking project is well under way now. Thanks to a lot of talented seamstresses, they now have all of the Christmas stockings needed for the Christmas project this year. Items are beginning to come in, however, they are still in need of items if they are going to meet their goal and provide each soldier in the unit a stocking stuffed with goodies. Remembering that they need travelsized items, they can use granola bars, hand wipes, individually wrapped candy, deodorant, pocket-sized tissues, lotions, lip balm and small packages of cotton swabs. The list goes on, for more information please contact one of the organizers listed below. One of the things the team has just recently learned is that

Indianhead Writers contest held at Spooner
by Mary B. Olsen SPOONER — The third-annual Indianhead Writers contest and meeting was held Saturday, Oct. 15, at the agriculture station in Spooner. The event attracted 45 people who read their stories, articles or poems to compete for prizes. Bernice Abrahamzon, Frederic, recited her article, “How to Eat an Ice-Cream Cone” from memory. Perhaps the oldest writer to read his article was Art Swan of Shell Lake who read, “Good Old U.S.A.,” about his parents who came to America and lived in a log cabin and cut trees for lumber before they could plant crops and establish their farm. Subjects of stories and articles varied and included hunting, logging, a cowboy, pets and nature stories, berry picking, and stories of births, deaths and families, as well as humorous tales. The winning $100 entry went to Mike Veight for his story, “ Horse Sense.” He placed first in this contest for the third time. The second prize went to Stan Miller, Luck, for his poetic rendering he called, “Ben Gay and A Prayer,” and two other poems. Teresa Konreth won the third prize of $50 for her story, “You Are A Miracle.” Many interesting stories were read making the selection of a favorite story difficult.

This traditional retelling of the Nativity story has lots of parts for shepherds, sheep, angels, magi, Herod’s court, and of course, the holy family. This is a great vehicle for introducing kids to theater. The show will feature performers in kindergarten through eighth grade, with more complex roles reserved for older performers. No preparation is required for the auditions, and all who attend will be cast. — from NSTC
Signs
o you remember the 1970s song “Signs” by the Canadian rock group Five Man Electrical Band, originally The Staccatos? Part of the lyrics are “Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind, do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?” The photo of the hidden entrance sign shown with this column was taken in September along Sand Road west of Shell Lake. The sign for the same hidden entrance that was on the opposite side of the road also had greenery covering the lettering. The leaves that were covering the warning on the signs have since disappeared, and the message can once again be read. Many days the song “Signs” would run through my mind as I traveled this stretch of road and saw the partly covered sign. Even though at times we think there may be a lot of signs, whether giving warnings, giving directions for changes in the traffic flow or for advertising, they do serve a purpose. Take for instance all the signs along Interstate 90 running east and west across South Dakota. A person can’t travel to the Badlands without reading about stopping at Wall Drug for free ice water and all the other items that are available at the sprawling tourist mall that takes up most of downtown Wall, S.D. It’s reported that at their peak in the 1960s, Wall Drug had over 3,000 highway signs. Sometimes signs don’t always do the job. A few years ago, Milt and I were looking for a business in Eau Claire. We kept checking the address we were supposed to be at and we
were there, but the business we wanted didn’t appear to be. So we went into another business and asked the clerk if she knew where the business we were looking for was. She had no clue. Milt slipped into the I’m-on-amission mode and was determined to find the place. He knew it existed since he had talked to the owners just prior to our arrival. In his search, Milt did find the business. He kept looking for a business that would have semi trucks parked nearby as he was looking for a delivery business. Sure enough, he found it tucked away behind the business we had stopped in asking about the business we were in search of. I guess in this case the trucking business needed a bigger sign rather than depending on out-of-towners seeking out the advertising on their trucks.

Public informational meeting for Hwy. 53 corridor preservation study in Minong area set
MINONG — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northwest Region is announcing a public information meeting to discuss the Hwy. 53 Corridor Preservation Study, Minong Area, on Wednesday, Oct. 26, from 5-7 p.m. at the Minong Village Hall located at 123 5th Ave. The project will investigate a long-term vision for the corridor that will be preserved through officially mapping the right of way needed for an expressway update. Improvements needed as part of the expressway up-
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE — If you were to drive west on Sand Road out of Shell Lake, you would see a small 20-acre farm that’s in immaculate condition, including the white house and all the white buildings surrounding it. The four acres of land that run parallel to the road are enclosed with fencing that’s 5 feet tall to keep in the special stock and everything’s well-tended including the buildings, the pasture and large garden. The garden is the husband’s domain and some of the outbuildings are the wife’s. The pasture and the special fencing belong to the flocks of llamas, alpacas and sheep … oh my. Carmella Crandell and husband, Larry Damon, are not strangers to the area, having lived in Spooner for years as she taught through the Title 1 program for 16 years at Spooner, and Larry was employed as a fish biologist for the DNR. As retirement loomed for them both, each one started thinking about what that would mean. They both agreed that for one thing, it would mean living in the country somewhere. Crandell was raised in Minneapolis, Minn., Lewis and Frederic and even attended a tiny tworoom school in Lewis. After searching properties near and far, they found this ideal spot right outside of downtown Shell Lake and settled in. It was ideal mostly because Crandell had a plan; a plan that would enhance her love of doing something crafty. She’d already done all kinds of sewing, ceramics, card making and scrapbooking, but because she hadn’t yet learned to weave, that was her next goal. First it was rag rugs, then it was spinning. She bought a spinning wheel after taking a spinning class and in 2009 things kind of escalated. She now owns four looms, one standard size, one small size, one traveling size used when she goes to workshops and one giant size that will weave items as large as bedspreads. But, the question of where to get the fiber for her projects led her to thinking about raising her own animals there on the perfect farm; the Shear Luck Farm to be exact. Enter four llamas, three alpacas and 10 sheep; five of them Clun Forest and the other five Olde English Babydoll Southdowns, and now she’s fully vested in the business
date could include interchanges, overpasses, cul-desacs and development of a local transportation network to safely balance the access and mobility of the area. Preferred geometric alternatives have been developed for Hwy. 53 at the intersections of CTH F, Hwy. 77 and CTH T. Maps of the alternatives will be on display at the public meeting. The public is encouraged to attend the meeting, ask questions concerning this study and provide input on the preferred alternatives. Representatives from the
WisDOT Northwest Region will be present to answer questions regarding the project. A brief presentation will be conducted at 5:30 p.m. If you are unable to attend the meeting or would like more information contact Marc Bowker at 715-635-4975. Written comments regarding the project can be mailed to Marc Bowker at W7102 Green Valley Road, Spooner, WI 54801. — from WisDOT
It’s shear luck
which includes breeding with intent to enlarge her herd and marketing animals as well as housing them and having them sheared each spring. “The best fiber on the llamas and alpacas is on the middle of the back and These two little cuties down the sides. The rest is are aptly called Olde OK, but the other is prime English Babydoll Southfiber. The legs are always downs sheep, and left unshorn to assist in bug Carmella Crandell has control. All of the fiber is re- five of them. moved from the sheep and I’ve already had two skins tanned. They make a wonderful cushion to sit on when I weave. After the fiber is removed from the animal, it’s stored in large paper bags and it has to be thoroughly cleaned. My outside table is the perfect spot for this, because the table is one of the woven metal ones and the bugs and sticks and other things in the fiber can be dropped right through the tabletop. “After the fiber is cleaned, it goes to a fiber mill in Bruce where it’s washed and carded and commercially spun. When it’s finished I’ll have various weights of wool ready for the loom. It’s a three- to six-month wait to have the finished product back, but until then I’ve got plenty of strips of cotton to be made into rugs.” Where wool is warm, the llama and alpaca fiber is hollow and lofty, making it not only warm but also lightweight. All fiber can be washed after it’s made up into garments or product, but wool does not like to be agitated or have a change in water temperature, that’s what makes it felt, or in common terms, shrink.” Seeing llamas and alpacas have a life span of 20 to 25 years and sheep easily live for 10, Crandell will have a lengthy future of weaving away, using the beautiful fiber from her own animals and maybe even starting an online store. She commented that the enclosed front porch on their old farmhouse would make an adorable shop … someday.
Carmella Crandell raises llamas, alpacas and sheep in Shell Lake and has the sheep fleece to prove it as she stands in front of her huge loom that’s large enough to weave an entire bedspread and takes up the entire upstairs workroom. — Photo by Diane Dryden

ct. 11, I visited the Shoreline Restoration Project in Shell Lake and gathered native seed for the Monarch Butterfly Habitat. Land and water conservation department grants Happy Tonics permission to collect seeds in the fall. In the spring, volunteers transplant native perennials from the paths that overreach the garden. I was amazed to see monarch butterflies in the habitat, especially knowing they have a 2,000-mile journey ahead of them. Each fall monarchs fly and soar to the oyamel mountain forest about 70 miles outside of Mexico City. The monarchs were here but there were few nectar plants to feast on. While scattering seed, I did see a monarch on volunteer cosmos growing in the wood chip pile. Goldenrod, one of the last nectar sources, has come and gone. The flowers were in full bloom two weeks ago. If there are so few nectar sources here, what can monarchs expect as they fly to Texas? Chip Taylor, insect ecologist at the University of Kansas and director of the nonprofit Monarch Watch, says, “They are going to be encountering a thousand miles of hell as they go through a nearly waterless, flowerless, nectarless landscape.” There is a prolonged drought in Texas. Between the fires and drought in Texas, this year’s migration is in a precarious position. The butterflies usually arrive in Mexico fat and happy. It is questionable how the butterflies will fare this year. The monarchs I saw at the habitat were healthy and vibrant in color. Let’s hope they fly out of Wisconsin before the temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Monarchs don’t fly when the weather drops. The butterfly could freeze to death. I am always pleasantly surprised when I see someone’s handwork at the

by Nan Hendry SPOONER — It’s that time of year again, when people al over the community are packing their shoe-box gifts for Operation Christmas Child — the world’s largest Christmas project. 2010 was a record year for Operation Christmas Child. People from all over the United States packed 5.5 million shoe-box gifts for Operation Christmas Child with 807 boxes collected and delivered to the collection/processing center in Minneapolis, Minn., from this corner of Northwest Wisconsin. Shoe boxes then traveled to either India or Haiti last Christmas. The earthquake that devastated Haiti on Jan. 12, 2011, prompted Samaritan’s Purse to launch the largest emergency response in their 40-year history providing medical care, food, water and shelter for more than 500,000 people. Operation Christmas Child was a unique part of that response, offering hope to children who needed to know that God loves them. Operation Christmas Child began in the United States in 1993 with 28,000 shoe-box gifts. Since then, this Samaritan’s Purse project has collected and hand delivered more than 86 million shoe-box gifts to needy children in more than 130 countries. Shoe boxes have been known to travel by bus, train, helicopter, boat, elephant, camel, mule and even
Heart Lake news
Good morning on this cool October day. Leaves continue to fall, pumpkins and corn shocks are around and about. Days are getting shorter, which is not the best, but I guess we take what we are given. Congratulations to a lovely young couple, Kate Sahlstrom and Luke Gronning, who were married Saturday at 5 p.m. at Tagalong Golf Course in Birchwood. It was a very cool and windy evening, but I guess the 200-plus guests didn’t mind. Luke built a house, which they will move in. He works at Northwest Passage and is going to school in Rice Lake. Kate is teaching English to Somalians near Rice Lake. Mary and John Marschall and son Brady, and Wealthy Marschall, Becky McQuade and son Jake all attended the Sahlstrom/Gronning wedding. Jake and Luke went to school from kindergarten through high school. Mary and Keith White and Mike and Peggy White attended the wedding in Cambridge, Minn., Friday evening for Mandy, the daughter of Judy (White) and Dennis Adams. Congratulations to you. Mike and

dogsled to be placed in a special child’s hands. On Friday, Oct. 14, Gracia Gormong celebrated her 13th birthday. Instead of receiving gifts for herself, she asked her guests to bring money to ship shoe boxes. The girls spent the afternoon and most of the evening making dolls with matching girl-sized dresses to bless other children more in need than themselves. Together, they lovingly packed 10 boxes. Shoe boxes can be packed for a boy or a girl, the age category can be chosen, from 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14. Each box is as unique as the person packing it and can include school supplies, small toys, clothing items, hygiene items, hard candy and a personal note and photo. All items should be new and should not be breakable, liquid or candy that could melt. Wartype toys should not be included as these boxes This group of girls gathered to celebrate Gracia Gorcould go to a child in a war-torn country in our mong’s birthday by making dolls and packing shoe world. boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

Peggy are now living in Baraboo. Happy birthday to Mary White on Oct. 11 from her family. Louise Schade of Circle Pines, Minn., spent the weekend with her family here. On Saturday, Florence Carlson, Lillian Ullom, Margaret Jones, Louise Schade and Frank Mortensen drove to Clayton to help Scott Olson celebrate his 50th birthday. He is the son of the late Lorraine Mortensen Olson. Lorraine passed away a few years ago. Sally Smejkal, a resident at Glenview, celebrated her birthday last week with family and cake and ice cream. Happy birthday to you. On Friday, Indianhead Medical Center sent two nurses over to administer flu shots to residents here. Wendell Lee Turpin stopped in to see his aunt, Helen V. Pederson, on Tuesday on his way back to Indiana. Congratulations to the Shell Lake football team and coaches on the winning of the game in Turtle Lake Thursday night. Last week I neglected to mention the award that was
given to ICHC auxiliary in Eau Claire because a certain senior citizen wondered if anyone delivered groceries to senior citizens who are homebound. In talking to Jack Dahlstrom at Lakeside Market, he said if they would call in the groceries, they would bag them and volunteers from ICHC could pick them up and deliver. What a good gesture. Visiting in the United States from Norway are King Harold and Queen Sonya. Last week, Phillip and Elsa Bigton Odden were guests at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and Phil sat next to the ambassador and Elsa sat across from the queen. Elsa grew up in Norway, so she and Phillip can converse in Norwegian fluently. On Tuesday, Oct. 18, the royal couple were in Duluth, Minn., at a noon luncheon at $100 apiece. Sue (Pederson) and Larry Winner attended the lunch. Larry is a representative of Duluth. He works for the city of St. Louis County, but they know no Norwegian. Memory is what tells a man that his wife’s birthday was yesterday. Poor man!

A child escaping a fire in her bedroom through an open window may be scary.

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake girls volleyball team placed third in the Shell Lake Invitational Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 15, with a 5-5 record. Boyceville went home with the top honors with a 91 record followed by Ladysmith with 8-2. Shell Lake played Ladysmith in the final but, while they played extremely well, the Lumberjacks won 25-22 and 2521. The competition was tough and will help them as they go into the regional playoffs. Shell Lake started out the week playing a rematch of the 3-2 Shell Lake win over Clear Lake back on Sept. 11. Shell
Lake trailed after losing the first two games before rallying in the next three to win. Clear Lake was still reeling from that game when they faced the Lakers on Tuesday, Oct. 11. Clear Lake won 25-15, 25-18 and 25-22. The winner of the Tuesday, Oct. 18, game between Shell Lake and Northwood will most likely face Drummond on Thursday, Oct. 20, with the winner of that game traveling to Bayfield for the regional championships. Shell Lake beat Drummond twice in the Shell Lake Invitational 25-11 and 25-23. Game one of the sectional will be Thursday, Oct. 27, and the final Saturday, Oct. 29.

next year with the realignment after many smaller schools leave to form the eight-man conference. Shell Lake has dominated the Small Lakeland in the last 10 years. Frederic will be the conference champions with an undefeated 8-0 record with Northwood/Solon Springs following with a 7-1 record. Shell Lake finished in third place. In Thursday night’s game, Shell Lake scored first after several mishaps in the red zone when Caleb Parker scrambled 9 yards to score in the second quarter. That drive started on the Turtle Lake 35-yard line when BJ Burton intercepted a Nick Herzan pass. Wyatt Carlson’s interception set up the second Shell Lake touchdown when Parker connected with Burton on a 29-yard pass. The first half ended with the momentum going Shell Lake’s way but no one told Turtle Lake that. They came out with an onside kick, which they recovered on the 40-yard line. Turtle Lake could not take advantage of it as they turned the ball over when Parker made the third Laker interception. Shell Lake drove the ball down to the Turtle Lake 33-yard line and turned the ball over on downs when they failed to convert on a fourth and three.
Turtle Lake’s first touchdown came when Herzan connected to Hunter Cardinal on a 35-yard pass. Turtle Lake went for the two-point conversion and were stopped short. They tried another onside kick but Shell Lake covered it and started out on the 49-yard line. Shell Lake sustained a drive down to the 4-yard line. Jesse Gronning carried the ball across the goal line and it was 21-6. Shell Lake scored on the fourth interception, the second for Burton. Parker capped the drive off with a 2-yard quarterback keeper. Shell Lake will travel to Hurley to play the first round in Division 6 playoffs. The game will be played on Friday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. The Hurley team finished the season with a 5-0 record in the Great Western, 9-0 overall. They are coming off a 41-0 win over Ontonagon, Mich. Shell Lake moved up to Division 6 because of the increased enrollment in recent years. Northwood/Solon Springs is playing Division 6 because of their combined enrollment. Northwood/Solon Springs, 8-1, will be traveling to Spring Valley, 9-1, to play their Division 6 playoff game. Spooner, 7-2, will be traveling to St. Croix Falls, 7-2, to play their Division 4 playoff game.

Whitetails Unlimited hosts 21st-annual event
Leroy Schultz provided the auctioneering throughout the evening at the Indianhead Arts Center in Shell Lake during the Whitetails Unlimited Banquet on Thursday, Oct. 13.
Nick Udovich of Shell Lake, despite being a Vikings fan, was quite pleased with the large print featuring Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. Udovich won the prize in one of the side game raffles that took place at the Whitetails Unlimited banquet on Thursday, Oct. 13, at the Indianhead Arts Center in Shell Lake.
A Green Bay Packer football signed by the 2010 championship team was up for bid during the live auction. The guns in the background were just a small portion of the many different door prizes you could win. LEFT: This is just one of several quality prints that were bid upon during the Whitetails Unlimited banquet.
One of hundreds of Whitetails Unlimited attendees was all smiles with a new .30-30 Marlin rifle he won as part of the many door prizes and raffle ticket items. Also up for bid and raffle were hunting equipment, vacations, and of course, more and more guns.

Happy Tonics nature and holiday film series set
SHELL LAKE/SPOONER — A film series sponsored by Happy Tonics began Thursday, Oct. 13, at the Spooner Health System Nursing Home. There were about 20 elders in attendance. “I was delighted to hear exclamations of joy and surprise as seniors watched the movie ‘Blue Butterfly,’“ commented Mary Ellen Ryall, executive director of Happy Tonics. The film is based on a true story of a Canadian youth who suffers from terminal cancer. The boy wants to go to Costa Rica with an entomologist who specializes in this butterfly species. The boy believes the blue morph butterfly is magic. It turns out the scientist takes the boy and mother to the rain forest where the boy experiences a healing and returns home tumor free. This is

WisDOT meeting to focus on Hwy. 53 preservation study
SPOONER — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northwest Region is conducting a public information meeting regarding the Hwy. 53 preservation dtudy from Hwy. 70 near Spooner to just north of Schnagl Road in Washburn County. The meeting is scheduled Thursday, Nov. 3, from 5-7 p.m., at the Spooner Agriculture Research Center, W6646 Hwy. 70. A brief presentation is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. The remainder of the meeting will follow an open house for-
mat. Communities in the study area are the towns of Brooklyn, Spooner and Trego, and the city of Spooner. The purpose of the public information meeting is to present the preferred alternative and obtain input. Exhibits will be on display and attendees will be given the opportunity to provide written or verbal comments. WisDOT staff will also be on hand to answer questions. The Hwy. 53 preservation study will include an alternative study, environ-
mental assessment and preliminary engineering along the existing four-lane expressway. Construction funding has not been programmed but the study is necessary to preserve the necessary right of way. WisDOT is conducting the study now to ensure long-term options are not precluded as land uses change along the corridor over time, and to help the communities plan development in a way that will be compatible with future access changes. — from WisDOT

Co-op month/from page 1 and federal representatives. What we’ve never done, at least since 1933 and within the pages of the actual newspaper, is publish the paper’s first editorial by its first editor, Bennie Bye. It was published in a special edition during our 75th anniversary in 2008. Bye’s words lend an insight to the behind-the-scenes events that led to the first issue, an issue that was produced in an allnight printing session in a small, two-story building in Centuria on a cold November night 78 years ago. The Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, headquartered in Frederic, publishes the yellow Advertisers as well as the Register and Leader. During Co-op Month, and all year long, we salute all area cooperatives for their unique contributions to social and economic development. “Cooperative enterprises build a better world,” is the them of this year’s Co-op Month. Here’s our first editor’s first editorial from 1933 - and see our notice on our Web site (www.wcregister.net) to see how a subscriber to our newspapers can become a member of the cooperative at the same price ($5) as in 1933. There’s not many deals today that can claim that.
Our first issue
by Bennie Bye
All right, folks, here is the first issue of the long talked-of, long heralded cooperative newspaper serving Polk and neighboring counties. While we are swamped with work and hardly have time to write anything, a brief outline of the steps taken to establish this paper ought to be part of this issue. This is not a Farmers Union paper, though it has been advertised as such through both talk and published articles in neighboring papers. However, we are not ashamed of the platform, aims and princi-
ples of the Farmers Union and wish every one of them could be put into practice. But the reason the establishment of this paper has been referred to as a Farmers Union movement is undoubtedly due to the fact that the individuals belonging to the organization have done a great deal to “put the venture over.” Five of the seven members of the board of directors are Union members, but a rough check-up shows that more stock has been bought by non-Union members than by members. Stock has been bought by Union, Holiday and Equity mem- Bennie Bye bers, by people belonging to none of these organizations, by business and professional men. No lines have been drawn, but all stock has been sold with the understanding that this is to be a cooperative paper serving the best interests of the common people, whether they be farmers, professional men or business men. The welfare of one group should mean the welfare of the other groups. The principal way in which we expect to make this paper different from the common run of papers is that we are in business for service and not for profit, and intend to carry the truth to the public regardless of whose toes get pinched. In other words, our policy will be shaped by a devotion to the greatest good for the greatest number, and not by what is or what is not apparently best for the immediate swelling of the cash box. Of course, while we are doing this, we must have the necessary income to keep the plant running, but we have faith that it is possible to stay in business and adhere to the above policy. We’re going to give it

a good try, anyhow. The original plans for the establishment of this paper were to purchase the Polk County Ledger at Balsam Lake. The deal would have required the purchase of Mr. Husband’s two-thirds interest, and the writer was to take stock for his one-third interest. After considerable “dickering” and numerous meetings over a period of several months, it was found that the purchase of the Ledger was not practical. There was a complaint from the beginning that the price was too high. Along in the summer, as everyone in the drought, the crop shortage parts remembers, came thee, and the prospect of having to buy feed through the winter. The muchhoped-for “New Deal” did not materialize, and stock became difficult to sell, not because of unwillingness to help the proposition along, but for the same reason that you can’t get blood out of a turnip. The newspaper was faced with the alternative of dropping the paper deal altogether, or figuring out a cheaper way of acquiring a paper than buying the Ledger. Talk for an entirely new paper was encouraged by the discovery that good used equipment could be installed and paid for in full for about one-third of the money required to buy the two-thirds interest of the Ledger. More meetings. The next thing was to make a canvass and see all who had bought stock to find out if it was O.K. with them to apply their share on the new paper instead of the Ledger. No difficulty was experienced. One solicitor wrote in and said a few of those who had promised to buy had backed out after the Ledger deal had been abandoned. The location for the new paper was the next thing. Several were considered. The writer favored Centuria from the start because it is centrally located, but perhaps more for the
reason that it is really one of our “home towns” as we started a paper here once before. The businessmen of Centuria pledged their liberal support if the paper was located here, and a very nice block of stock was sold here. So, when the first stockholders’ meeting was held on Monday, Oct. 9, Centuria was readily decided on as the location. Articles of incorporation were adopted without difficulty, and the meeting insisted that the committee of seven who had worked so faithfully on the paper deal from the start should be elected to the first board of directors. The election was unanimous. Here they are: J.W. Hanson, Luck; P.TH. Peterson, Johnstown; Chas. Eckels, Wolf Creek; Amil Markee, Apple River; O.A. Bloom, Osceola; H.A. Mittelsdorf, Farmington; Carl Linden, Burnett County. J.W. Hanson had served the committee as president, and Chas Eckels as secretary, and they were elected to like positions on the board of directors, with Herb Mittelsdorf as vice president. The above committee worked hard and tirelessly toward the goal of a cooperatively owned and operated newspaper. It would be impossible to know where to place the most credit. Then there were dozens of others throughout the townships of the county who worked hard to sell the necessary stock. While the shares were only $5 (non-assessable) yet it is hardly necessary to comment on the scarcity of $5 bills. But, the job is done and the new paper is a reality and will be for some time if we live through getting out this first issue of 8,500, 16-page papers.

The area has taken on a different scene with the leafless trees and bushes and a different sound with the crunch of dry leaves underfoot. It’s now taking a different feel with the cooler temps, high winds and snowflakes possibly in the forecast. We got kind of spoiled last week with the 80-degree temps. Mavis Schlapper got home Wednesday evening. She had total hip surgery on Sept. 19 in Rice Lake then went to Dove, a rehab facility in Eau Claire, for three weeks. She is doing very well, only takes the walker when going outdoors. She was happy to be home. Visiting her besides myself were Elfreda West on Sunday, and Mary Mancl, Nicole Bernecker and Stacy. Gene Hendrickson has put a trailer on his property, his home place, here in West Sarona and mowed the building site, getting ready for deer season. Anton and Gloria Frey had Sunday supper with daughter Jan and Jeff. Ben Frey was one of the Shell Lake seventh-graders going to Wolf Ridge for the week with his class. Mary Krantz met me in Spooner after bowling Tuesday afternoon and went with me to the Earl Church supper, which was very good. I got home and the phone rang and Mary says, “Guess what we forgot?” We forgot her car in Spooner. Made for a good laugh and a memory. No, we are not getting senile. Saturday evening, my sister, Nell Lee, Stanberry, came and spent overnight with me. She had some of her dollhouses at the Railfest Farm Toy Show in Turtle Lake School on Saturday and Sunday. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht took grands Jillian and Jaxson to the show and report it was really neat.

I had the most wonderful week with my cousin, Sue. It’s always fun to have her come up for a visit, and this time was no exception. On Monday, we had a girls day out with Pat Olson and Anitia Lehmann. We went shopping at Ikea and the Home Store, had lunch, gossiped, and just generally had way too much fun. She visited with Suzy Lehmann and Tru on Tuesday. We had breakfast at the Red Brick a few times. Sharai Hefty came over to visit a couple of times. Like I say, it was just wonderful. The only problem was that she had to leave on Saturday to get back to work, and I was wishing she could stay one more week. The highlight of Sue’s visit was probably on Friday. She, Anitia and I went to Cumberland ECU and made lefse for the residents. We must have made about 100 pieces, and there were about 20 left for snacks when we were finished. Lois and Marie were supervising most of the time. I’m sure they would have liked to get up and give us a few pointers, but they let us fumble along and gave us rave reviews on the finished product. Gary Borman sent a note asking me to let you know that his cousin, Frank Budlowski, had surgery at the VA in the Twin Cities on Oct. 12 and that recovery from the surgery will be at least five weeks. That very same day, Frank’s personal care worker and friend, Darlene Cobb, had a stroke while visiting her daughter in Iowa. Gary asks that we remember to pray for healing for both Frank and Darlene. Geri and Mel Pittman took the weekend off last week to visit their son, Jerry, and his family in Waterloo, Iowa. While they were there, they visited with Mel’s aunt and other friends and relatives, and had a chance to hold and spoil their newest great-grandson, Damien. Kind of a funny story about how Damien arrived. His mom, Ginny, had

taken care of. It’s a good feeling to have it done before snow flies. Paula Cramer and Reyana and Rylee Ladd came Saturday morning and spent the day. In the evening, we went to Lakeview Bar and Grill for supper. Then the two little ones had to go home with their pa, Jeff Ladd, while Paula and I came home. We had a super weekend with the little ones. Kids do say the funniest things! Larry and Ruth Hopke left for Missouri, where they live, after spending the summer in their trailer and parked it at Jim Toll’s. Jim Toll tells us his two sons, David and Terry, came up and they got up a pile of wood for Jim, which is really nice. Noel and Pattie Beaufeaux and son Mitch, Lisa and Dan Otto, Marjorie and Charlie, and Jimmy Atkinson came up Sunday to get Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s wood up for the winter, which is great. Marv Knoop tells us he’s been busy putting up wood for the coming season, which is great to hear. Bob and Pam Bentz were leaving for Illinois and attended the funeral of their son who was killed in a car accident. Our deepest sympathy to the family. The Bentzes live on CTH X. Thursday Bernie and Sandy Redding attended the funeral for Bill Morrison, Bernie’s brother-in-law, who passed away Oct. 10. Sympathy to his family from all of us Dewey residents. News from the Town of Dewey finds Phil Lindeman attending the meeting and telling us that the Burnett County Board will not have to put up three towers as planned. They may be able to use the state patrol tower site for one. Our gal Bobbi Sichta will be retiring in January. Jim Toll tells us he went to the Shell Lake Fire Association meeting. Did you know that in the last two to three weeks that Bashaw Lake is up 1-1/2 feet? Yes, it’s due to the beavers making a dam. Someone will have to trap them or whatever they do. Pam Brown had to take off work to let the state inspector check all the Town of Dewey buildings. Oct. 27 our paperwork has to be done in order to qualify for money from the state. Chairman Mark Knoop said he would take care of it. The board has decided what road they will apply the money to. They chose to do Anderson’s swamp on Sand Road for maybe one-half mile. Talking with Woody we find he has been doing some cutting along the roads, putting in culverts, got the truck fixed along with other projects. The next Town of Dewey meeting is Nov. 8 at the town hall at 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Talking with Diane Hulleman she says she baked six pies for the Clam River Tuesday Club fundraiser at Indian Creek Saturday night. She tells us she baked two raspberry cream pies and they went for a dandy price of $31 and $28. Then she baked two coffee cakes and took a tub of squash and a tub of pumpkins. Wow! Karen Vanderhoof was busy watching her two grandchildren, Makenna and Conner Vanderhoof, on Sunday and was canning tomatoes. Ashley had to work so Karen baby-sat. Glen and Lorraine Crosby attended the Clam River Tuesday Club fundraiser on Saturday night and she was presented with a lap afghan after being a member of the club for 60 years. Way to go, Lorraine. News from the Fjelstad’s Palace finds Tuesday Gladys Knoop and Cherie, Tyler and Emily Dorweiler visited Bob and Kris.

hen the plumber arrived late, he asked, “How did you get along?” “Fine,” answered the father. “While waiting for you to come, I taught my kids how to swim.” In time of trouble, some criticize, while others create; some curse the circumstances, while others change the conditions; some imagine peril, while others inspire prosperity; some give up in fear, while others go on in faith. Faith in God will turn your trials into triumphs. It makes the outlook great, the in-look good and the up-look glorious. “Have faith in God,” and let him do for you what you can’t do alone.

Pioneer days
Marguerite Kevan is showing Cassidy Mehsikomer how pioneer women spent wash day. What started out looking like fun, quickly took a turn. That’s learning the hard way. Camryn Nasman sits on the floor dressed much like a fourth-grader 100 years ago. Instead of a whiteboard and marker, she would be using a slate board and chalk. — Photos by Larry Samson

Spooner
Contestants lined up at the Siegner Hill Pumpkin Roll, with the Siegner Mansion in the background, at the annual Jack O’ Lantern Festival held Saturday, Oct. 15. The Spooner Fire District Auxiliary sold over 400 pumpkins at $1 each with the profits going to their community projects. — Photos by Larry Samson
This small group of girls had their own competition at the pumpkin roll. Spooner fifth-graders Maryn Bengs, Emma Salquist, Rikki Saletri and Lily Arf took four prizes out of six coming down the hill.
Dr. Katie Lichten is enjoying the morning at the Lakeland Family Resource Center painting pumpkins with Leighton Dodd and her son, Ben.
It is all in the delivery. Ella Marker gently pushes her pumpkin down the hill while her brother, Colton, gives his the big sendoff. Jessica is not taking any sides in this race.
