SHELL LAKE — ICHC warns of Lifeline scam. A company referring to itself as Senior Alertline has been calling large numbers of seniors using an automated dialing service asking them to switch their personal emergency help service, or Lifeline service. Through promises of a free gift, inexpensive personal emergency help service and free equipment, this company is only interested in gaining access to senior citizens credit cards. A state attorney general is pursuing this enterprise as hundreds of senior-related scams have already been reported, Because Senior Alertline is using automated dialing, they are reaching many consumers very quickly. The Lifeline volunteers of Indianhead Community Health Care Inc. want seniors to be aware of this situation and urge anyone to contact them if you have been called by this automated dialing service. If Senior Alertline contacts you, do not give out your credit-card number and simply tell the inquiring caller you are not interested. If you have any questions, please feel free to call ICHC at 715-468-7833. — from ICHC •••

School district debt free

Annual meeting report a positive one for school, Shell Lake district taxpayers

by Jessica Beecroft Register staff writer SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake School District has earned its bragging rights.

Not only is the district one of top schools in the state of Wisconsin, but they are also debt free. On Monday, Sept. 24, the board of education held its annual meeting where they spoke about the current and future financial state of the district. Jim Connell, superintend-

Wilson chosen new police chief

by Jessica Beecroft Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday, Sept. 26, to hire current police officer David Wilson as the new Shell Lake police chief effective the end of October, when the current police chief, Clint Stariha, is retiring.

Wilson has been a police officer for 16 years and has worked with the city of Shell Lake since April of 1997. He is currently with the Army and assigned to the Wisconsin National Guard, however, he has decided to retire from that position so he has more time to focus on the new position. Wilson also serves on the Washburn County Board of Supervisors, where he represents District 11.

Looking forward, Wilson said there won’t be It doesn’t get much better than this, temperatures in the 70s, full hunter’s moon and fall colors. The fall colors in the Shell Lake and outlying area hit their peak this past week making this a special time of the year. The fear of lackluster color because of the drought did not come true.

ent, said, “It (the fund balance) is at a healthy amount and will likely be spent down in future years for maintenance and to help maintain programs.”

Although the district is currently debt free, it may take out a loan for energy-efficiency improvements. With the energy exemption in Wisconsin state statute 121.91 (4) (0), the school board is allowed to levy a tax “on a project to implement energy-efficiency measures or to purchase energy-efficiency products.”

The district will still have a lower tax than they currently have. According to Connell, it is a good time to take out a loan for these projects. The interest rates are low, and the district has a healthy fund balance.

too much change.

“The public won’t see many changes in the public protection as concerned citizens,” he said, noting that a total of five officers will continue to work with him at the Shell Lake City Police Department. Stariha and Wilson will be looking into hiring a new officer to fill the position left by Wilson within the next 30 to 60 days.

Stariha has served the city of Shell Lake for 35 years. He started in 1977. Wilson hopes to walk in his footsteps and stay the police chief for a long time. Wilson, who will be 41 in January, would have a minimum of another 15 years left before he could retire.

According to Wilson, the city of Shell Lake

Climbing the heights

This map shows where the hike starts at Camp Muir. There are three levels, each higher than the previous one, at which hikers can change their minds and hike back down.

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake’s Dale Cardwell was born in the state of Washington under the shadow of beautiful Mount Rainier. As a child he and his family hiked and camped at Mount Rainier National Park near the base of this, the highest mountain in the Cascade Range. At a height of 14,158 feet, Rainier can been seen as far away as Portland, Ore., and Victoria, British Columbia, on an exceptionally clear day.

Even though the family moved when Cardwell was only 5, the mountain was always in his memory, urging him to return someday to hike all the way to the top. After 62 years he would return to fulfill his mission to surmount the challenge of climbing over not only the 26 major glaciers, which are constantly moving, that are on the mountain, but to arrive at the summit, which is topped by two volcanic craters, each more than 1,000 feet in diameter. Heat from the volcano keeps areas of both crater rims free of snow and ice and has formed the world’s largest volcanic glacier cave network within the ice-filled craters.

Cardwell majored in geology and every job he’s had has been based on honoring the Earth, from his position on Northwest Regional Planning for 35 years, then working with the U of M in managing hazardous waste.

He’s also spent a lifetime hiking and skiing and developing, with Dave Swan, local cross-country ski trails for the public several years ago. In February he skied

Keep in mind that Mount Rainier is an active volcano; the top consists of two overlapping craters, each over 1,000 feet in diameter. Here Dale Cardwell and fellow hikers summit the mountain.

his 31st Birkebeiner and it was also the year his three daughters, Kristine, Anna and Kat, joined him for their first experience skiing the 31-mile longest cross-country race in North America.

Cardwell has also ticked off over 500 miles of the

The mountain climbers camp is made out of local stone that lets it blend into the mountain.

Already at 10,030 feet, Camp Muir is where the climb begins.

Cardwell’s tent is first in line.

The last item would be needed if a hiker was to fall into a crevice, the transponder would send out a ping so he could be found and rescued. They hiked to Camp Muir, 10,030 feet, and the plan was that they would start at midnight when the snow was most stable.

By 8 p.m. the winds were blowing at 30 mph and gusting. The snow had started and they found themselves in the middle of a blizzard. The only place they went was to the outhouse, shoveling their way there and back again; a disappointing way to spend the last days of June. The guides brought the hikers back down, not willing to take the enormous risks to climb farther.

Let down, the hikers returned to their homes.

Three weeks later, at the end of July, Cardwell joined another group of hikers and this time conditions were completely different. “The moon was full at midnight this second time, and we hardly needed our headlamps at all.”

The group reached the summit at 7:48 a.m., making it a 7-1/2-hour hike. “We would have made it faster, but there was a group in front of us that was going very slowly, so it took us longer.”

There are three places during the hike where a hiker can call it quits and go back down. There were hikers ascending and descending during the day. Cardwell’s team, after only spending a short hour at the summit, descended in only three hours to the camp.

“On our second climb the weather was clear and the scenery was awesome. Ours was the first group of the season to have everyone, all 12 of us, summit.”

He’s hiked across the continental divide in Colorado and from Grand Lake to Long’s Pier and even Long’s Peak in the Rocky Mountain National Park, along with mountains in Arizona, Wyoming, the Smoky Mountains and the Grand Canyon.

So what’s left for this intrepid hiker? He’d like to finish hiking the Ice Age Trail. He’s always on the lookout for other places he’d like to hike. If you see a guy tooling down the road equipped with inline skates and ski poles, it’s Dale Cardwell, keeping in shape, just in case something exciting comes up.

1,000-mile Ice Age Trail that is one of 22 National Scenic Trails in the U.S. It starts at the Minnesota/Wisconsin border, travels through an area north of Rice Lake and eventually dips down to the border of Wisconsin and Illinois and then back up to end on the peninsula north of Green Bay. The trail was formed by the glaciers pushing the earth south during the ice age.

All during this time, Cardwell and his wife, Sandy, a teacher for over 35 years, revisited Washington many times for visits with relatives, often bringing home photos of the magnificent mountain to hang on their walls.

Finally in 2012 and fully retired, Cardwell made arrangements to finally climb the mountain that had influenced his life so much. It wasn’t his first mountain, he had climbed others, but this climb was special and it was with great anticipation that this past June he joined a group led by Rainier Mountaineering to climb Rainier.

Excitement was high as they trained for the day, learning about rockfalls and ice snow craters that are constantly opening. They also trained with ropes and they learned how to stop a fall and to use their crampons, and ice axes.

Here Dale Cardwell is ready to leave Shell Each hiker was equipped with Lake on his way to finally climb Mount Rainier. their backpacks and a transponder.

In Franklin's last survey, as in many others, the number of people who identify themselves as Democrats was up and the number who self-identify as Republicans was down. Just to be safe, Franklin adjusted the numbers to assume the yearly average for partisan ID in Wisconsin. In either case, Democrats were leading in the races for president and U.S. Senate.

argue today's pollsters are deliberately surveying too many Democrats and not enough Republicans.

Asked whether that's the case with his monthly Marquette University surveys, pollster Charles Franklin answers an unequivocal no. "There's no deliberate sampling of Democrats or Republicans or Independents. There is no list of such people to sample from."

Franklin says his surveys and others

aren't trying to mimic the partisan makeup of the last presidential election, which was a landmark year for Democrats. They are random surveys, he says.

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE – Fall colors are either peaking or close to it in the northern half of Wisconsin. But to the South in drought areas, the peak will be a disappointing brown.

Greg Haberman doesn’t consider himself a botanist. To him, all trees are shade trees. But the owner of the Wannigan Resort in Winter says things are sure pretty now. “They’re in full bloom and they’re falling," he says. "All different colors, from green to blood red, oranges, yellows.”

It’s peaking at Nelson Lake Lodge near Hayward. Owner Marietta Higgins says after a summer of weather extremes, she didn’t know what to expect. “I thought it would be not as good because of the dry but I think they’re probably just as pretty as they were," she says. "We’ve got the real brilliant reds and the pinky reds. It’s beautiful.”

But much of the state is having a drab

autumn. Northland College forestry professor Jonathan Martin says brown typically prevails after very dry conditions.

“We’re coming out of a drought so that can damage some of the photo-mechanisms," he says. "It can brown leaves instead of having the healthy mechanisms where you have the reallocation of those pigments causing the greens to fade and the reds and yellows to show up. Some of that’s damaged and it’s just turning brown.”

But the far north escaped the extreme drought. Flambeau River State Forest Superintendent Jim Halverson says it’s terrific now. He says people are taking leaf walks and drives. “The trees are almost like driving through a cathedral," he says.

"They overhang the road and it’s very, very pretty.”

Halverson says because of the dry weather, the peak time will be shorter in much of the state.

As a percentage, Wisconsin's increase is the highest of any Midwest state. Huxtable says not only is the state patrol documenting more fatalities per accident than normal, but it is also seeing more deaths from motorcycle accidents.

The state is citing a decrease in seat belt usage and the longer riding season motorcyclists enjoyed this year because of the weather as the reason for the deaths.

Future energy saving projects may include a new roof on the 3-12 building, digital controls at the primary, more efficient variable motors/pumps, lighting improvements, software upgrades for the controls, water-saving valves and possibly other small projects.

The property values in the district are down about 6 percent this year. With this factor, the state aid for the district will go up between 15 and 20 percent, or approximately $450,000. This is the sixth largest increase in the state. The biggest two reasons for this are more students in the district and less property value per student.

Connell also noted that the district owns its own buses; they are in control of the quality of drivers, the buses and the routes. “We have kept up with replacing buses when needed and purchased an additional bus last year.” The bus that was purchased last year ended up being a bad bus, but the company finally agreed to replace the engine on the bus, and it has been running fine ever since.

King buck denied

B&C panel rules tine on right antler to be abnormal

by Marty Seeger Special to the Register MISSOULA, Mont. – The controversial 12-point buck shot by Johnny King in Grant County in 2006 was ruled by a panel of Boone and Crockett scorers at the club’s headquarters in Missoula, Mont., recently, but it won’t be considered the new world record as many, including Craig Cousins of Luck, had hoped it might be.

The B&C panel measured the buck at 180 inches, a far cry from the current world record typical white-tailed buck shot by Milo Hanson that measures 2135/8 inches. B&C issued a statement saying that the controversial G3 tine on the right main beam, “arises from the inside edge of the top of the main beam, and also arises partially from the base of an adjoining point, thus establishing it as an abnormal point.”

They went on to say that at least two of the tines needed to be classified as abnormal points, thus, adding several deductions to the score. If scored as a nontypical,

the buck would still measure 217-5/8 inches. If it had been scored as a typical, as so many had hoped, the deer would have shattered the world record as well as the current Wisconsin all-time typical Jordan buck shot by James Jordan in Burnett County in 1914. The Jordan buck scores 206-1/8.

The ruling appears to be final, and Cousins told the Leader in an article printed Sept. 5 that “whatever decision the panel comes up with, I will respect and call it final.” The controversy will likely live on for quite some time. Cousins was one of three official B&C scorers fired for speaking out against the initial ruling of the King buck and the way it had been mishandled by B&C. Cousins produced a video and sent it to B&C explaining, with their own scoring manual, how the buck should be scored. The video was instrumental in getting the B&C to give the rack a panel score.

Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine, who first broke the story, is standing its ground and continues to question whether the King buck was treated fairly, while Field & Stream seems to be taking the other side and questions whether it should have been panel scored in the first place.

Cousins’ video, in its entirety, can be viewed on deeranddeerhunting.com.

VOICES

October is Manufacturing Month

Send letters to P.O. Box 455, Shell Lake, WI 54871 or e-mail wcregister@centurytel.net

A national initiative is being implemented to designate October as Manufacturing Month. It turns out that this is something to be proud of in Wisconsin.

We are a state that is among the best in the nation in regard to advanced manufacturing. These are jobs that pay about 17 percent more than the general private sector. In addition, they tend to have generous employee benefit packages and are valued members of the community.

Friday, Oct. 5, is being slated as Manufacturing Day and is for students, parents, educators, media, and the community at large. One of the best kept secrets is that advanced manufacturing uses technology like crazy and has highly skilled employees who work in a variety of challenging and rewarding careers.

Unfortunately, there is a serious skills gap for machinists, welders, technicians, engineers and other jobs in advanced manufacturing. Fortunately, Wisconsin has an excellent K-16 education system to prepare its citizens for these in-demand jobs. In particular, the Wisconsin Technical College and University systems have excellent programs to train individuals for the very best jobs in the state.

We at Nexen Group Inc. are celebrating Wisconsin Manufacturing Day. Wisconsin has great employers, great schools, and great people. The future to us looks bright!

Now that we know that Mitt Romney is not part of either the 47 percent or the 99 percent but part of the out-of-touch elite 1 percent, we can focus on to those in Congress who support Romney’s horrible policies. Yes, I am talking about Sean Duffy.

Here is a man who cannot live on his $200,000-plus congressional income.

Here is a man so out of touch with his district that he votes to destroy Medicare. Not once but twice, as he voted for Ryan’s Neanderthal budget. I care, not for me, I’m over 65, but for those in their 30s, 40s and 50s who will have their contributions taken away; and make no mistake, they are trying to end Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Here is a man who voted to end health insurance reform every time he had a chance, 30 times, and who with the rest

of his caucus refused to vote for the president’s jobs act.

Here is a man who voted 92 percent of the time with the radical GOP Congress, the other 8 percent he was probably chopping wood, as they try to control women’s lives and block everything the president proposes to get our economy back on track.

Here is a man who is the personification of what the GOP has become: the party of greed, obstruction and prejudice. In short, Duffy represents his corporate bosses and not the people of the 7th Congressional District. On Nov. 6 vote Duffy out. Vote Pat Kreitlow. And don’t forget to vote for Tammy Baldwin and President Obama, too.

Reminder for campaign workers/voters: Keep political signs off highway rights of way

Improperly placed signs violate state law, create potential safety hazards and will be removed

STATEWIDE — With a host of national, state and local elections set for this fall, campaign signs are an increasingly common sight. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is reminding candidates, campaign workers and the general public that state law prohibits the placement of any type of sign – including political, commercial or garage sale signs – on highway rights of way.

“This is not a political issue, this is a matter of public safety,” said Allan Johnson with WisDOT’s Bureau of Highway Maintenance. Improperly placed signs distract motorists or obstruct their view, especially at intersections; pose a safety risk to people who enter the highway right of way to install a sign and to road maintenance workers who will remove the sign; damage or disable mowers and other equipment, and can potentially injure maintenance workers or others.

Signs with wire supports degrade in the weather, leaving only the wire frame that is difficult to see.

State law prohibits the placement of signs within highway rights of way, except for official traffic signs. This prohibition extends to all numbered state, federal and interstate highways, along with county highways, town roads, municipal streets, alleys, bike and pedestrian paths. In general, the highway right of way in a rural area extends to beyond shoulders, ditches and any adjoining fence line. In urban areas, the right of

way generally extends beyond the sidewalk.

Signposts and street name marker posts are always within the right of way.

Most utility poles are within the highway right of way and can be used as a rough guide for sign placement. If a sign is placed between a utility pole and a roadway, it is likely in an illegal location.

Signs are not allowed within street terrace areas, highway medians or roundabouts. With the landowner’s consent, political signs are permitted on private property without a billboard permit as long as the signs do not exceed 32 square feet and contain no flashing lights or moving parts.

Improperly located signs are dealt with as part of regular highway maintenance. A sign that poses a traffic safety hazard will be promptly removed. Road maintenance crews are asked to make reasonable attempts to preserve larger, improperly placed campaign signs and provide campaign offices an opportunity to retrieve them.

“If you see road maintenance workers removing improperly located signs, remember, they’re simply enforcing state law and keeping roadways as safe as possible for everyone,” Johnson said.

State law, Section 86.19, provides for a fine from $10 to $500 for signs that violate the law. Local municipalities may have additional guidelines regulating the placement of signs along county highways or local roads and streets. People who illegally place signs may also be liable for any damages caused to equipment or people.

More information on state laws pertaining to the placement of political signs can be found on the WisDOT Web site at dot.wisconsin.gov/business/rules/prop erty-signs-political.htm. — from Wis DOT

Publishing some details and not others, why?

Quoting the city council minutes of Aug. 12 is this: “Public works committee will be considering a recommendation to sell a parcel of city-owned property adjacent to Shell Lake Marine.” The city has ordered an appraisal, and Shell Lake Marine has agreed to cover the appraisal cost. What does the state law say about this? I thought that any property of the city that will be sold must be advertised, bids will be taken, and it shall go to the lowest bidder. Right or wrong?

On the upcoming budget why does the city council publish the council meeting minutes and agenda? What does this cost the city? Nobody else does this. The county and other cities don’t. Since we have them on the city Web site, and they are posted for the public to review, isn’t this the only thing we have to do by state law? The county and the cities around get more publicity and don’t publish their minutes, why do we have to? Why doesn’t the newspaper cover committee

meetings and the council meetings?

This I have asked about before, but I will bring it up again.

I heard rumors that more money was given toward places in the industrial park and more for some improvements.

True or not? Normally when a business or industry adds on or makes some improvements the city gives them money or city work in-kind to help them out.

Nothing shows it was done in the council minutes. Why? Will this TID cash out or will the city have to pick up the tab? If it doesn’t cash out, will it go on the tax roll?

Will the people be informed on the cost of the Hwy. 63 widening, and where will the money come from? Will this be another TID project? Has any other TID money been spent, and if so how much?

There was a bank robbery where a teller was shot. The wheelman, driver of the car, was going so fast he could not make the curve and crashed the car. The police arrested them, and they went to court where they both received a life sentence. The wheelman protested, “I only drove the car.” But they both must be held responsible for their actions.

Now let’s bring this logic to the Nov. 6 election. We know that President Obama is for unlimited abortion. We know that killing human beings is murder.

When you put an X in the ballot box

Nov. 6 for Obama, in God’s eyes you will be held responsible for your action. “But all I did was put an X in the ballot box,” you say. Sorry, you knew what you were doing, just like the wheelman. You will be held responsible for your action, just like the wheelman and your sentence will be a forever thing.

James 4:17 says, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

A proposal that the mayor and council members voluntarily return 10 percent of their pay to the general fund was introduced by Councilman Mike Diercks. He said the council had directed department heads to cut their budgets by 10 percent and that the council should lead by example and do the same. But pay rates for the council and the mayor can only be changed at the start of a new term. Because of that, Diercks suggested the council members and the mayor voluntarily return 10 percent of their pay.

Currently, council members are paid $3,000 per year. The mayor gets $8,000 per year.

The city’s attorney advised the council that they would still be taxed on the income even if they gave it back to the city, and that a vote would not be binding on individual members. The council then voted unanimously to voluntarily donate 10 percent of its pay back to the city. — from Rice Lake Chronotype

Wisconsin legislators urge their Minnesota colleagues to push for reciprocity

Express concern that Minnesota DOR moving goal line in negotiations

MADISON — Sen. Bob Jauch, DPoplar, and Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, along with their colleagues representing Wisconsin’s western border regions, sent a letter to Minnesota border legislators calling on them to urge the Minnesota Department of Revenue to agree to the proposal to restore income tax reciprocity put forth by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

Legislators and revenue officials from both states attended a summit at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul this February where a discussion of negotiating a new reciprocity agreement was held. The consensus from the meeting among legislators and department officials was that reciprocity should be restored for the 2013 tax year. In order for reciprocity to be in place for 2013, both departments agreed that a new agreement needed to be in place by Monday, Oct. 1, to ensure time to notify employers of withholding changes and amending tax forms.

“Following our February meeting, I was encouraged that both sides could agree on improvements that addressed concerns identified by Gov. Pawlenty,” said Jauch. “Wisconsin has agreed to make more timely payments to Minnesota and both states agreed to move forward with an updated benchmark study to determine the amount of those payments. While Minnesota has accepted Wisconsin’s proposal, they insist on a new provision that would require Wisconsin taxpayers to subsidize Minnesota taxpayers.”

In the absence of reciprocity, thou-

sands of Minnesota residents working in Wisconsin pay an estimated $10 million more in taxes because Minnesota tax law limits the credit that Minnesota taxpayers working in Wisconsin can claim for taxes paid to another state. Wisconsin has no tax credit limitation in its tax code.

“Instead of reinstating the long-standing reciprocity agreement that served both states so well for years, Minnesota DOR is demanding that Wisconsin taxpayers foot the bill for a tax increase on Minnesota residents,” said Harsdorf.

“This issue has never before been part of the reciprocity agreement between Wisconsin and Minnesota, and Minnesota does not require similar payments from other states with which they have reciprocity agreements.”

Because of this position taken by Minnesota DOR, taxpayers from both states that cross the border to work will not see reciprocity reinstated for 2013. This means continued inconvenience and higher costs for filing tax forms, as well as higher taxes for some Minnesota taxpayers that work in Wisconsin. The letter from Wisconsin legislators calls on their counterparts in Minnesota to urge their Department of Revenue to agree to the proposal put forth by Wisconsin DOR and restore reciprocity to the benefit of tens of thousands of taxpayers in both states.

Joining Jauch and Harsdorf in working to advance a new reciprocity agreement and co-signing the letter to Minnesota legislators were Sens. Jennifer Shilling, Kathleen Vinehout and Terry Moulton and Reps. Dean Knudson, Erik Severson,

Potential for deer crashes will be high again this fall

MADISON — Each fall, body shops and automotive repair businesses are in great demand as the deer crash season peaks. October and November are the mating season for deer, which makes them more active especially at dusk and dawn when they move back and forth between their bedding and feeding areas. As they roam, deer often will dart unexpectedly into the path of vehicles, and drivers likely will confront the panicky “deer in the headlights” predicament.

To avoid a collision, drivers must be attentive and cautious at all times, Wisconsin Department of Transportation officials advise.

Last year, Wisconsin law enforcement agencies reported a total of 18,176 deer versus motor vehicle crashes. “To avoid deer crashes, drivers must slow down when they see deer in the area. If you see one deer, there are probably more nearby that could dash in front of your vehicle,” says State Patrol Maj. Sandra Huxtable, director of the Bureau of Transportation Safety. “If you can’t avoid a deer, it’s safer to hit the brakes and hit the deer than to swerve suddenly and try to miss it. If you swerve, you risk losing control of your vehicle and rolling over or hitting another car or a fixed object, like a tree.”

Motorcyclists must be especially careful because collisions with deer can be fatal to motorcycle drivers and passengers. Motorcycles were involved in four of the five fatal deer versus motor vehicle crashes in 2011, ac-

cording to Huxtable.

The WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety offers the following advice to prevent deer crashes. Be on the lookout for deer, eliminate distractions while driving and slow down in early-morning and evening hours, the most active time for deer. Always wear your safety belt, there are fewer and less severe injuries in vehicledeer crashes when safety belts are worn. If you see a deer by the side of the road, slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away.

When you see one deer, look for another one, deer seldom run alone. If you see a deer looming in your headlights, don’t expect the deer to move away, headlights can confuse a deer and cause the animal to freeze. Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path. Do not swerve, it can confuse the deer as to where to run, and cause you to lose control and hit a tree or another car. The one exception to the “don’t swerve” advice applies to motorcyclists. On a motorcycle, you should slow down, brake firmly and then swerve if necessary to avoid hitting the deer. If you must swerve, always try to stay within your lane to avoid hitting other objects. If you hit a deer, get your vehicle off the road if possible, and then call a law enforcement agency. Walking on a highway is dangerous, so stay in your vehicle if you can. Don’t try to move the animal if it is still alive.

The injured deer could hurt you. — from WisDOT

The first full week of October, since 1940, National Newspaper Week has been acknowledged. This year, with the theme Newspapers, The Cornerstone of Your Community, National Newspaper week is Oct. 7-13.

She is now in her 37th year with the company.

By the spring of 1977, I was a part-time employee of ICCPA. I later worked as a full-time employee before taking 10 years off. I returned to the company on Sept. 2, 1992, and was recently recognized for my 20 years of service.

ior year, a new creative writing class was formed, and the members of the class put the school newspaper out. The class was open to juniors and seniors. The class studied all phases of creating writing but concentrated mostly on journalism. During class we also learned the aspects of publishing a newspaper. As editors, Roberta and I did the proofreading and actual page design. Those were the days before the use of computers in the classroom.

Roberta and I must have done OK at being editors, as we were asked to assist the new editors during our senior year. While I continued working with newspapers, Roberta works as a preschool aide in Agawam, Mass.

Education fair to be held at UWBC

RICE LAKE — The Wisconsin Education Fair, featuring representatives from approximately 90 postsecondary institutions, will be in Rice Lake on Monday, Oct. 8. The education fair will be held from 9-11 a.m. in the UW-Barron County gymnasium.

This program, which is open to the public free of charge, will provide an opportunity for parents and students to obtain information from approximately 90 postsecondary institutions. Representatives from Wisconsin and out-of-state colleges and universities, vocational schools, trade schools and the military will be present to talk about the many educational opportunities.

No formal sessions will be held; rather, the students and parents will be free to move from display table to display table around the gym, spending as much time as they wish with the individual representatives.

What are we doing to ourselves?

eat. My first reaction was to laugh and group those girls into stereotypical categories, until I stopped myself and realized – don’t all women do this at some point?

Women, I want to challenge you by asking this question: What are we doing to ourselves? We strive and push and seek out a distorted image of society’s label of beauty, but no matter how hard we try, no matter how many exercises we do, or how much weight we lose, we still don’t feel beautiful. For some, beautiful is a loaded word. You may allow yourself to be called “attractive” or “good-looking” and maybe “pretty” – but beautiful? Women, next time you look at yourself in the mirror, call yourself beautiful … and believe it. It’s tough isn’t it? It’s one thing to say it, but another to actually, truly, deep down, believe it.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” We all know this quote, but I am challenging you to never let the “beholder” be pop culture or mainstream society. If you won’t change your view of yourself for yourself, do it for the next generation because I never want my future daughter to come up to me and ask me if she’s fat, or ugly, or strive for fleeting things such as outward beauty. I don’t want her to even question if she is beautiful; I want her to know what it means to be beautiful. Integrity, dignity, honor, self-respect and respect for others, modesty, humbleness, love, kindness and gentleness, these are some of the things I want our future daughters of America to grow up learning as to what makes them beautiful.

It doesn’t matter how much makeup you put on in the morning, or the outfit that you strategically pick out. I’m talking to you, woman reading this on the couch, or woman reading this in your office at work, or teenager glancing at this over your coffee. I’m telling you now that you’re beautiful, and you’d better start believing it.

am going to go out on my soapbox for this column, so bear with me. But the point of Assorted Chocolates is to keep it assorted and not merely stick to the same genre every time. This particular column pertains to both men and women, but generally women and girls, and it was spurred by a comment and what I heard in the girls bathroom.

This summer, my 5-year-old niece was sitting down on a swing we have in our screen porch. She was quiet and content when suddenly she looked down at her legs, looked up at me, and asked, “Abby? Do my legs look fat?” I have no idea where she got this idea in her head or how she is even conscious about her body image at this age, but I was horrified by it. Immediately afterward, I began to think back to comments I could have made about myself, and how I need to be deliberate about saying positive things in front of young girls or women.

I can’t say I know what it’s like to go to a public university, I go to a private university in St. Paul, but I can only imagine they’re still very similar in some ways. Last week, I was up late doing homework, and I got up to use the bathroom, which happened to be in a more deserted area of the school. To my dismay, I heard the retching noises of a woman puking into a toilet. Now she very well could have been sick, and I may have made a hasty judgment, but it made me more aware of the young women around me and how society is pressuring us to have the “perfect” body, and how some women do extreme things to reach lofty goals.

During dinner in my college’s dining center, I overheard a conversation of three thin girls, all drinking water and eating a small plate of salad, complaining about how they don’t want to get fat, how they need to exercise more than they already do, and how they need to watch what they

Northwoods Support Team getting ready for Christmas

SPOONER — The Northwoods Support Team has been anxiously awaiting their assignment of a new unit in Afghanistan. The unit of soldiers they had been supporting have returned to the U.S. The support team will now be supporting a new group of soldiers in Afghanistan. The major described, in an e-mail, the weather over there now. He said, ”It’s about 85 degrees out right now, but this morning at 5 a.m., my breath produced vapor clouds and I think we’ll have freezing temps soon.

We’re at 6,000 feet, so we get both the heat and the cold … in one day.”

There are ladies sewing Christmas stockings and the team is hoping to get enough community support to provide not only some of the items they need, but some goodies and some manly things.

They would like magazines about fitness, cars, guns and finances, which can be used and in good shape. Small 2013 calendar books or planners, the smaller the better. Some of the other items they listed are dried fruits, beef or venison jerky, any healthy snacks, hand-twist can

openers, protein powder or other weight-lifting or weight-losing supplements, hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, gummy worms or anything else gummy, individual flavored containers of creamer, thermal underwear, top and bottom, men’s XL preferable in light brown. Some of the items the support team always includes are: Cotton swabs, gum, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, lip balm, disposable razors, microwave popcorn and the list goes on. To obtain a complete list of items needed, you may call Darlene Heller at 715-6352930 or Lynda Marquardt at 715-6356237. Please remember that all items need to be travel size. Donations of monetary gifts are tax-deductible and checks should be made out to the American Legion Auxiliary with Northwoods Support Team written on the memo line.

Items and money can be dropped off at the Community Bank of Spooner or at Heller’s home.

The committee members are also available to come to your group or organization to do a presentation of what they are

Watch out for bees

WASHBURN COUNTY — If it seems as though bees are everywhere in the fall, it’s because they are! Some types of bees are particularly active and aggressive this time of year. Thousands of people are stung by bees every year, and bee stings kill about 50 people in the U.S. each year.

You can take steps to reduce the risk of bee stings. Wear light-colored clothing.

Avoid bright colors if you are going to be outside. Avoid scented body care products. Perfume attracts bees. This includes flavored and scented lipgloss. Having half a dozen yellow jackets swarming your lips is definitely an experience you want to miss. Sweat makes bees more likely to sting, so bathe regularly and wear clean clothes. Wear long sleeves and long pants, this will also help protect against ticks. Check for new nests during the warmer hours of the day when bees are active, but don’t try to get rid of them during the day. For information on how to get rid of nests, go to www.ianrpubs. unl.edu/epublic/pages/publicationD.js p?publicationId=355. Keep areas clean.

Wasps and yellow jackets like places where food is sitting out, so clean up picnic tables, grills and other outdoor eating areas. If you haven’t used your grill in a while and are putting it away for the season, open it with caution, preferably at night, to check for nests. If a bee is flying around, remain still. If there are a lot of bees, such as a swarm of yellow jackets, do not make any sudden movements and retreat slowly and calmly from the

area. However, if you are stung by several bees at the same time, leave the area quickly! Bees release a chemical when they sting. This alerts other bees to the intruder. More bees often follow. If a bee comes inside your vehicle, don’t panic.

Crashing your car will hurt way more than a bee sting. Stop the car slowly and open all the windows.

If someone is stung, have someone stay with the person to be sure that they do not have an allergic reaction, some redness and swelling at the site of the sting is normal. Check for swelling around the face and neck, difficulty in breathing, wheezing or dizziness. Get the person immediate medical care if any of these signs are present. People with known allergies to insect stings should always carry a bee-sting allergy kit with epinephrine and wear a medical ID bracelet or necklace stating their allergy.

See your medical provider about getting either of these. Wash the site with soap and water. The stinger can be removed by scraping a clean fingernail over the area. Never squeeze the stinger or use tweezers. Apply ice to reduce the swelling. Do not scratch the sting.

SHELL LAKE — Attention actors!

Ready for some challenging new territory? Come to auditions for the classic Greek tragedy “Antigone.” Limited experience? Don’t let that stop you. Acting workshops are included in the rehearsal process. Always wanted to be in a play but feeling timid? This play has some small and even some nonspeaking roles for those with limited time or confidence.

Performance dates are April 4-6 and 1214.

The story of “Antigone” highlights the conflict between a young woman of steadfast values and her authoritative uncle, Creon, King of Thebes. Other family members include Antigone’s sister, Ismene, who is ambivalent about Antigone’s choices; Antigone’s fiancé, Haemon, who confronts his father Creon; and Eurydice, Creon’s grieving wife. Other characters include a comical guard; a blind prophet; a messenger, who in his one scene conveys the crux of the situation; and several guards and

guides. Additionally, there is the classic element of Greek drama, the chorus. In this instance, the chorus is made of the elder statesmen of Thebes who comment on the action directly to the audience.

Being sought are men between the ages of 18 and 80 and one nonspeaking young boy between the ages of 8-12. Also needed are two young women between the ages of 16 and 20 and one middleaged woman.

TiTW will be sponsoring a Creating a Character Workshop for the benefit of the theater community. “Antigone” cast will be expected to attend. Rehearsal commitment will begin the week of Jan. 14. Principal actors can expect two to three rehearsals per week. Smaller roles will be rehearsed less frequently.

Shell Lake capitalized on a St. Croix Falls fumble that was recovered on the 25-yard line by Jesse Sibert. A 25-yard run by Wyatt Carson made it 7-8. St. Croix Falls punted on their next possession but offsetting penalties forced them to punt again, and AJ Denotter ran it back 80 yards for a touchdown. Shell Lake was up 13-8. On third and 15, the Saints scored on a reverse, making it 13-14. Shell Lake quarterback Sam Livingston connected with Denotter for a 57-yard touchdown pass to put Shell Lake back up 21-14. Near the end of the first half, St. Croix Falls scored again. Austin Williams stopped Jake Summers on the two-point conversion. The half ended when the Lakers moved the ball down to the 30-yard line and time ran out.

The only score in the third quarter came when St. Croix Falls scored early in the third quarter making it 21-28. Shell Lake fumbled the ball on the 7-yard line to end a long drive. Shell Lake had another opportunity to score when Denotter was stopped inside the 10-yard line but an unsportsmanlike conduct was called, moving the ball back 15 yards. The tough Saints defense forced Shell Lake to turn the ball over on downs.

Shell Lake will face the Frederic Vikings in their last home game of the season on Friday, Oct. 5. The Vikings are 4-1 and are coming off a 27-20 win over Grantsburg.

Food banks expecting to feel drought's effects

WHY

by Steve Roisum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE – Some Wisconsin food banks are facing challenges this year because of this summer's drought and high temperatures that hurt some crops in the state.

Second Harvest Foodbank President Dan Stein says that will probably mean a drop in food donations from farmers this year. The Madison-based Second Harvest is part of Feeding America, an organization that has food banks in several states. Stein says Second Harvest will likely have to pay for much of the

food it needs to distribute. Stein says it may also need to rely on the kindness of colleagues.

"The network of food banks belonging to Feed America also works together so another part of the country might have strength in produce, we might have access and pay transportation," and, he says, that's expensive.

In Hazel Green, Food Pantry President Gary Haas is already seeing higher prices for food he needs to buy for the pantry. He says that means he has less money to buy nongrocery items.

"I like to make sure that they get a

small package of diapers," he says. "All it does is supplement them. I kind of like to do that, but I’ve already cut that back because I’m spending so much more now for groceries."

Many Wisconsinites are still harvesting their crops, so it will be weeks before food banks and pantries will know for sure how much will end up being donated.

Changing playgrounds

OCTOBER 3, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 15

by Mary B. Olsen Don’t you just love to watch small children at a playground? They take great pleasure in simple things like swings and slides. Seeing them in these activities brings back memories of how things were in the old days. There have been lots of changes due to the threat of lawsuits. And there has been a revolution in the designs of children’s backyard play equipment.

Years ago, at my school in town, the area designated playground was simply the dirt that surrounded our grade school. The east side of the school was the boys playground, and the west side was the girls. There was a lamppost on each side of the school that glowed at night. The boys improvised a baseball field. In good weather, they played marbles. The girls brought jump ropes.

Sometimes children played tag, or boyschase-the-girls. We had no playground equipment. We had separate entrances.

When the bell rang, the boys lined up on their side and the girls lined up on their side, and then we all filed into the school and went to our boy-and-girl schoolroom. We brought our lunch and ate in the lunchroom in the basement. We liked recess and lunch break, and we found ways to play without equipment.

Folks whose early childhood years were spent in a country school may have had schoolyards with swings, slides and teeter-totters. I saw country schools with these wonderful playthings.

In our town we had a park where we could ride on a kind of merry-go-round that you could push with your feet like a swing and it would go around, or someone could give it a good push, and it would keep going for a while. A dozen kids could ride on it at once. There were no swings or slides.

For my brothers and sisters, one of our favorite things was when our uncle, who had a car, would take all of us to a park in a neighboring small town. They had lovely shade trees and sets of swings, monkey bars, sliding boards and teetertotters. We could spend a couple of hours

swinging and balancing like acrobats.

Like so many of our activities, a person could have an accident. Many of us had scraped knees and may have fallen. You got back up and tried to be more careful.

The seesaw or teeter-totter was a good way to learn about gravity. If you were up in the air and your partner was on the ground and decided to get off, you could come down with a bang. You discovered you could swing without someone pushing you if you pushed with your own feet. If you stood up on the swing and held on good, and pumped with your feet, you could go really high. You and a partner could take turns pushing and both swing high.

At our yard, we had a swing that hung from a limb of a box elder tree. Later we had a set of swings our dad made. It was nice. All the kids in the neighborhood would come to our yard, and it was probably the swing set that drew them like flies to honey.

These days you can get swing sets for your backyard. The variety available is incredible. You can turn your yard into a Disney park, or some kind of wonder-

land. You can set up a baby swing, and you can get a baby swing for a dollhouse.

There are many chutes and ladders, little bouncing squirrel rides and little pink jet planes. There are play structures, rock walls with stones for footholds for kids to climb. You can get a little barn, playhouse or a simple swing to delight a child.

My children had swings in the yard.

They attracted other kids, too. We had the most popular yard in town. When we came to live in Wisconsin on the farm, we had a tire swing. I guess we outgrew it.

When I moved to town I had a good strong rope and a tire. My grandson, Cody, helped get it operational by climbing into the tree and securing the rope.

He was kind of small, but he could climb. That swing is still in good shape and used when great-grandchildren come to my yard. Cody is getting married next month. The tire is the same, but kids grow up. No one knows what the future holds, but we pass on many of the things we enjoy. One day he may put up a swing for his children.

You probably remember that I have mentioned a time or two that we have wonderful, caring people in this area.

Well, here’s another perfect example. I got a call the other day from Mary Dolan, who works with Pat Kolstad at Pat’s Tree Service in Comstock. Seems that Mary and Pat read about Curt Adams’ logging accident and decided to donate some firewood to Curt and his family. She called to get directions to their home. I hope Pat and Mary know how much their kindness means to the Adams family. It will be quite a while before Curt will be able to use a chain saw again.

Curt is at home now and is wearing something the doctors call a turtle-shell brace. After further tests, they found 10, instead of four, breaks in his back. He has to go in for more tests this week. We are hoping that there is no more bleeding in his brain. He is still in quite a bit of pain, as you can imagine, but is doing much better than we thought he would be.

Thank you so much for your prayers for him.

Duane and I went to the Cumberland/Spooner football game on Friday evening. There was a ceremony at halftime honoring Cumberland teams that had won HON conference championships. The years that were mentioned were 1945, 1958 and 1978. I didn’t see anyone there from 1945, but there were several from 1958, a couple from Barronett and a lot from 1978. One of the guys from 1978 was our son-in-law, Ryan Lehmann, so, naturally, we had to go and cheer for him.

After that ceremony, the Cumberland marching band and color guard put on an outstanding performance. In addition to music, it involved circus acts and ballet. I was impressed. Even if I didn’t like football, I would go to the games to see the halftime shows. Oh, by the way, Cumberland did win that game.

Richard and Darlene Sebens were honored at a 50th-anniversary surprise party hosted by their family at the Barronett Community Center on Saturday. There were lots of guests to congratulate the couple on so many happy years together.

The food was plentiful and delicious, and there were lots of family pictures on display. Everyone had a great time.

Pat and DeEtte Fankhauser also celebrated a 50th anniversary on Saturday with a party hosted by their family at their cabin. Don and Anitia Lehmann were among the many guests there to honor them. Lunch and dinner were catered by Rolling Oaks restaurant, and Anitia said that the food was very good.

There was also live music, and the festivities lasted into the wee hours of the morning. Pat and DeEtte and Don and Anitia have been friends for years. In

fact, DeEtte grew up on the farm right across from the Lehmann farm, so Don has known her since she was a baby. Anitia was DeEtte’s maid of honor at their wedding, and Don was an usher. Anitia helped DeEtte dress, do her hair, and cut the cake at both her wedding and at the 50th-anniversary party. Isn’t it great to have lifelong friends? Everyone at the party had a wonderful time chatting, reminiscing and listening to music.

Jill Otto hosted an end-of-treatment party at the park in Turtle Lake on Saturday for her little daughter, Gabby, who has successfully completed treatment for leukemia. It was wonderful to see Gabby looking so healthy and having so much fun being queen for a day at her party.

Pat and Doug Sweet hosted a 65thbirthday party for Pat’s sister, Jan Sutherland, on Thursday at the Sweet home. In addition to the guest of honor and her hubby, Larry, guests included Brad Semm, Carol and Lee Johnson, Sandy Chartrand, and Rocky and Pat Semm.

Pat said that it was a beautiful day for the party. They sat outside, talking about old times and laughing a lot. They also had lots of food, played games and ate birthday cake.

Congratulations to newlyweds Linda (Wilson) and Lionel Joseph (Joe) Fortin who were joined in holy matrimony on Saturday, Sept. 22. Sharai Hefty was maid of honor for the couple, and Karl Boegel was best man. The bride looked absolutely beautiful as her daughter, Krista, proudly walked her mother down the aisle to the music of “Here Comes the Bride,” skillfully played by Chris Topper. It was a wonderful wedding at the McKinley Methodist Church, with Annie Tricker officiating. Of course, Joe had to be his normal self. When the minister asked Joe to repeat after her, he said, “Do I have to?” That started the laughter and it continued throughout the ceremony for the wedding party, minister and guests alike. There were also many tears of joy. Sharai wants Joe and Linda to know how honored she was to be a part of this joyous occasion, and to be considered their friend. She prays that the rest of their life together is filled with the same kind of joy, laughter and love that was shown at the wedding ceremony.

Congratulations also go out to Melanie (Bertelsen) and lan Schara, who were married at the Cornerstone Church in Spooner on Saturday. The bride was fairy-tale beautiful, and, of course the groom was handsome. Melanie’s dad, Brian, said that the ceremony was unusual, and that Pastor Tom did a great job officiating. The reception was held at the Shell Lake Arts Center. The newlyweds are planning a honeymoon later as

Melanie is still attending WITC-Rice Lake. We all wish the new husband and wife many years of marital bliss.

Attention! The first Barronett Lutheran women’s meeting of the fall will be held this Thursday, Oct. 4, 7 p.m., in the church basement. Please take time to attend as there will be lots of decisions to

be made. And, of course, it’s fun to get together, have dessert and coffee, and visit. See you there.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Hope you are enjoying the glorious fall colors. Every year they just seem to be brighter and better than the last year. See you next time.

DMV conducts regional training sessions to minimize employee travel and to provide more training time at reduced costs, according to Kristina Boardman, director of the DMV’s Bureau of Field Services. “Ongoing staff training is essential to keep up with changes in technology, policies and procedures,” Boardman said. “It helps us meet our primary goal – providing customer services that are as consistent and efficient as possible.” She indicated that Oct. 8 was selected for the statewide training because it is a federal holiday, which typically reduces the number of customers visiting service centers. — from DMV

Diane Hulleman went by bus on a trip to see the beautiful fall colors. They went to Canada for four days, enjoying the many things on their trip. Going on the trip was Robin and a cousin of Robin’s.

They also visited Niagara Falls, taking a huge Ferris wheel ride. They also took in a huge tower and had dinner by the falls.

by Pauline Lawrence

They all enjoyed a boat ride and that night they went back to see Niagara Falls at night. Diane came home Sunday, Sept.

23.

Well, they’re back! Yes, those Asian beetles are back again. I was certainly hoping they would stay away this year.

Also we hear on TV that bedbugs are around. I believe by 2022 they told us the bedbugs will be about 50 percent. Ick! Talking with Sandy Atkinson we find their son, Jimmy, was home for the weekend.

Jim Toll tells us son Dave was home for the weekend. On Saturday, Jim attended the Tea Party meeting in Shell Lake. Jim says it was very interesting, common sense for common people.

Sandy Redding tells us her honey had surgery on his back to remove a cyst.

Thank goodness it wasn’t cancer.

Why God made moms answered by second-graders: Who’s the boss in your house? 1. Mom doesn’t want to be boss, but she has to because Dad’s such a goofball. 2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees there’s stuff under the bed. 3. I guess Mom is, now she has a lot more to do than Dad. What’s the difference between moms and dads? 1. Mom knows how to talk to teachers without scaring them. 2. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power ‘cause that’s who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends. 3.

Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine. What does your mom do in her spare time? 1. Mothers don’t have any spare time. 2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

A very happy birthday to Catherine Schumaker and to her granddaughter, Beth Hansen, Oct. 8. Have a wonderful day.

Hasn’t the weather been great? Yes, with sunny days and cool nights, it’s been just great. We’d better enjoy these nice days as it won’t be long until winter will be here. I saw on my calendar that Nov. 4 will end daylight saving time.

Diane Hulleman baby-sat for her great-grandson Charles who is the son of Mike and Sonya Murray. His baby sitter was sick. Diane has gotten all her Halloween things together to put up now.

MADISON — For being friends of education, five Shell Lake area businesses have been nominated by the Shell Lake School District for the Wisconsin Association of School Boards Business Honor Roll. The businesses are Bosch Packaging, Dahlstroms Lakeside Market, Shell Lake State Bank, Shell Lake Chiropractic Clinic and Shell Lake Woodcrafters.

Each of these businesses have been supportive of the school district over the years and recently donated funds to-

ward an electronic sign which is located along the highway at the entrance to the school site. This sign is beneficial in notifying the public of various events and information in regard to the Shell Lake School District. — with submitted information

Cheri (Johnson) Amundson is working on her master’s degree in the Twin Cities, which is nice to hear.

Sunday night, Garry and Beth Crosby had supper for Glen and Lorraine Crosby and JoAnn Bauer.

Visiting Saturday evening at Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s were Robin, home for the weekend from the Twin Cities, Peggy Vesta, Don Lane, Vicki and Don Trott and Bridgett Hartl. All enjoyed a potluck supper together. Evelyn tells us Oct. 1 made an entire year that Cecil hasn’t been in the hospital. Keep going, Cecil.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

I’d say fall is here with the trees losing their leaves. The gardens are through producing their vegetables, and the birds are heading for the south, except the crows.

Our sincere sympathy to the family of Mable Schrankel, 97, who passed away on Saturday. As of this writing, arrangements are pending.

On Friday, Barb and Gary Thompson of Cameron visited Mavis and Roger Flach.

On Sunday afternoon, Roy Peterson watched the Packer game with the Flachs.

Darwin McConkie has returned to Glenview after staying in St. Mary’s in Duluth. It’s good to have you back Darwin.

On Friday, Kathy Granzin was down to see her folks, Milton and Jean Odden,

and to help her mom get settled in here.

Kathy came down from Park Falls on Monday to take her dad to an appointment in Cumberland.

Funeral services for Louis Neste, 86, Spooner, but lately of Glenview, were held at Salem Lutheran in Shell Lake on Saturday. Our sympathy to his wife, Dorothy, and his brothers.

We welcome Bun and Margaret Weathers here at Glenview. They are Tooker’s parents, and they just moved here from Florida.

Barb Carlson’s daughter, Kitty, along with her husband, Robert, of Plano, Texas, was here to visit her mom and brother Steve and Gloria Carlson last week. What would we do without our family?

On Sunday afternoon, Charlotte Thompson visited Helen V. Pederson and Milton and Jean Odden. Come again Charlotte.

Ben and Karen Holzem also attended the festivities. Congratulations to the couple.

Have a good week.

MADISON — DMV customer service centers close Oct. 8 for staff training. Division of Motor Vehicles customer service centers and phone centers throughout Wisconsin will be closed for business on Monday, Oct. 8, Columbus Day, so that all front-line customer service representatives may receive technical process and procedural updates and training.

Although staff at DMV phone centers will be in training and unable to take calls, DMV’s automated phone system will remain available, so customers can access recorded information. DMV would like to remind people that many services do not require a visit to a service center and are

State Patrol Law of Month:

Share the road with farm equipment and other slow-moving vehicles during harvest season

SPOONER — It’s been a tough growing season this year for many Wisconsin farmers. To help ease the burden of farmers, motorists can show some courtesy and respect during the fall harvest season by safely sharing the road with agricultural equipment.

To share the road safely, drivers need to slow down immediately whenever they see a fluorescent orange slow-moving-vehicle emblem on the rear of a tractor or other piece of farm equipment. They also must be alert, focused and patient while trying to pass slow-moving vehicles.

“You should not pass a slow-moving vehicle if you

cannot see clearly in front of the vehicle you intend to pass,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Capt. Jeff Frenette of the Northwest Region. “Farmers and others using animal-drawn vehicles on a roadway have the same rights and responsibilities as operators of motor vehicles. You should be careful not to frighten the animals. Do not sound your horn or flash your lights near them, and give the animals plenty of room when passing.”

With a recent law change, drivers may pass a slowmoving vehicle in a no-passing zone if the slow-moving vehicle is traveling at less than one-half of the posted speed limit and the passing can be completed safely.

For their part, farmers and other operators of slowmoving vehicles must follow safety regulations. According to state law, farm tractors, agricultural implements, animal-drawn vehicles or other vehicles that are normally operated at speeds below 25 miles per hour must display a slow-moving-vehicle sign on the left rear of the vehicle. In all cases, even when the vehicle is not a SMV, if it is operated during hours of dark-

ness, the front and rear of the vehicle must have lights, white to the front, red to the rear, and the lights must be illuminated. A citation for failure to display a SMV sign or a violation of the lighting requirement each costs $162.70.

Vehicles traveling slower than normal traffic must stay as far to the right side of the roadway as practical.

This does not mean slow vehicles must drive on the shoulder of the road, although this is allowed if there is room to do so safely.

Frenette says, “Common sense, caution and courtesy will go a long way to keeping our rural roadways safe during the harvest season.”

More information about requirements for farm equipment on roadways is available on the WisDOT Web site: dot.wisconsin.gov/statepatrol/docs/farm-req.pdf. — from WisDOT

It was just a gorgeous weekend with mild, calm weather, blue skies and autumn’s beauty. As I turned the calendar page to October, already, it was another great day, temps in the upper 60s to enjoy. The leaves have peaked in our area, so soak up the beauty as it doesn’t last long.

Folks have been taking drives, cleaning up in the gardens and flowers and combining crops. The Asian beetles are showing up and there seems to be a lot of bees.

Les and Sandi Vogt returned Sunday from a trip out East. They traveled through the Upper Peninsula, Ontario and New York state, to attend a niece’s wedding in Tarrytown, N.Y. Highlights of the trip included seeing the islands in Perry Sound, Ontario, Niagara Falls, the New York sights, and the wedding at Castle-on-theHudson. Fall colors were best in Wisconsin on the way home.

Russ Furchtenicht spent a few days last week at the Dunham cabin in Canada, fishing with Doc and Paul Naglosky. Report a great time with the fish biting good in spite of cold, rainy, windy weather.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mabel Schrankel, 97, who passed away Saturday. She had been in the nursing home the past several years and was from the Beaverbrook area.

A friend’s son and family, Jeff and Kami Koss, Palm Bay, Fla., visited Virginia Stodola on Saturday.

Weekend family visitors coming for her early birthday get-together at Virginia Stodola’s were Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson. Sunday her grandson, Kurt,

and Kara Stodola, Lora, Jonathon, Morgan and Jordan from Esko, Minn., and granddaughters and families Coreen and Don Welch, Lindsey, Sam and Sawyer from Hudson, and Tracy and Derek Nelson, Signey and Logan from Holton. The 17 of them went to Nick’s for brunch together.

Jim Stodola, Greenfield, drove up and spent Sunday and Monday with his mom.

Last weekend, Gloria Frey and her sister, Joann Paulson, spent time in the Upper Peninsula enjoying all the colors even though it rained.

Gloria and Anton and Pat Frey spent Saturday afternoon at Pete and son Ben’s and picked apples on a beautiful day.

Anton Frey, John Roeser and John Rogowski got their limit of two geese hunting one day on our farm.

Viv Bergman went with Judy Burton and Dorothy Scheurer of Rice Lake to the Warrens Cranberry Fest on Friday. Reports lots of people and lots of walking, but nice.

Viv and Kathy Bergman enjoyed the spaghetti dinner at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Cameron on Saturday.

Monday, Glenn and Charlotte Campbell, Trego, stopped by while out for a drive. We had a good visit.

I joined Mary and John Marschall for a fresh beer-battered fish fry last Monday night with their kids, Sara and Kyle, Brady and Ashley, Brian and Jade. They had brought home their limit in both walleye and northern from fishing in Canada. We also watched a disappointing Packer game.

Mary Krantz visited me Sunday afternoon while out enjoying the fall colors.

The famous Andy Williams, 84, died last week. I saw him in concert at his Moon River Theater in Branson, Mo., three times. He was great. I loved his Christmas songs.

The Shell Lake FFA corn maze has three weekends remaining, located south of Shell Lake on Hilltop Drive to Shelby Lane at the Bryan and Keri Jensen residence. Go and enjoy and take a hayride, too.

Fall harvest dinners are coming up. The one in Earl, my home area, is on Tuesday, Oct. 9, 5-7 p.m. There is one at Faith Lutheran in Spooner the next night, Wednesday, Oct. 10, 4:30-7 p.m. They are always so good and you don’t have to cook.

Remember the Stone Lake Cranberry Fest Friday, Oct. 5, and Saturday, Oct. 6.

This week we wish a happy birthday to Virginia Stodola, Sandi Chartrand and Luella Peterson, Oct. 4; Zachary Lord, Oct. 5; John Duch, Mick Rummel, Richie Quinton, Craig Richter, Christi Reed and Dick Nelson, Oct. 6; Karl Okonek, Becka Cusick, Joe Elbe and Marcy

Spooner Middle School receives funds to support after-school activities

MADISON — The Spooner Middle School will receive $100,000 through the federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.

“Educational and enrichment activities in 21st Century Community Learning Centers extend the school day, helping students retain more of what they learn,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers in announcing the grant. “While the need for these activities far outpaces funding, the work of these centers makes a difference in students lives and supports efforts to prepare them for college and careers.”

Selected through a competitive grant process, Spooner Middle School, and 50 other funded sites, were among a pool of 113 that requested $9.7 million in grant funds.

A

country doctor said, “I’ve been practicing medicine for over 30 years. During all those years, I have prescribed many different things. But in the long run, I’ve learned that for most of what ails the human condition, the best medicine is love!”

“But,” asked a student, “what if it does not work?”

“Double the dose,” came the quick reply.

Many have said that love is the greatest medicine in the world. It can do more to heal the sick than most medicines. It is holding someone’s hand, shedding a tear with a broken heart, sitting quietly beside someone who is grieving.

Love is not an emotion that is based on a passing feeling. It comes from a compassionate heart that has experienced the conversion that God has provided for us through his Son. Love is something that is born of God and given by God. Love is a gift. Take it and let it grow.

Love is a sign. Wear it and let it show.

Love is an act. Do it and let it go.

Fourth grade visits the school forest

They will take their observation to the larger group for discussion. ABOVE: Fourth-grade teacher Dan Kevan is using the bleachers at the old football field to lecture his students. The bleachers are the only landmark left on the field affectionately called “the Hollow.” The 60 students were broken into smaller groups with their teachers and parents/chaperones. – Photos by Larry Samson

Laker Way kids Kora Folstad and Cody J. Swan are diligently working together as a team on their school forest project. What they get out of this project is related to how much they put into it.

These eight students earned a Laker Way T-shirt in the first Laker Way Awards ceremony held Friday, Sept. 28, at the Shell Lake Primary School.

A

few weeks ago, at the varsity volleyball game, I witnessed some of the best school spirit and sportsmanship I have observed in a long time. Our kids were very positive, very loud and really having a blast. The opposing fans were the same way. The good-hearted teasing, “yes” and “no” back and forth, etc., was awesome. Every time we scored a point every Shell Lake student in the gym stood and yelled “yes” at the top of their lungs. During time-outs they cheered the whole time. Every bump/spike/hit was met with Up, Up and Away! It was great! And, I had at least three students tell me that we have to talk to the other teams fans to keep their street shoes off of our gym floor. It is awesome that our kids are taking ownership in the gym and facility more so now than ever.

I also received a note from a parent of a middle school volleyball player that same night. It said, “I was in Clear Lake tonight for the junior high girls volleyball game, and I had to share this little story with you. As we were leaving the school, our eighth-grade girls were holding the door for people leaving. I thanked them, and one girl responded, ‘Of course, it’s the Laker Way!’” You may have read this column last month wh ere I explained the Laker Way. In summary, it is being respectful, safe, responsible and a problem solver. We have been working very hard to help students see what those things look like in action. I have been pleased with the staff and student buy-in so far this year.

•••

The school board and I have been working on an exemption to the revenue caps for energy improvements. This is a program, designated in state statute, that allows school boards to levy a tax “on a project to implement energy-efficiency measures or to purchase energy-efficiency products.” We are having a firm, McKinstry Inc., come in and do engineering study on some improvements, including a guaranteed simple payback time line. As part of the program, the energy measures that we do must save the energy that McKinstry guarantees, or they have to pay back the difference.

Financially, this is a very good time to look at these projects, since state aid is going up and the nonrecurring exemption is expiring. The mill rate will be going down considerably, even with these projects in the budget. It is also a good time to start looking at some newer equipment, since the life expectancy of some things is getting near its end. For example, the roof on the 3-12 building is a 20-year roof and is nearing the end of its life. We can put on a new roof, double the Rvalue, and save about $4,200 per year in energy costs. The water heaters are also getting older and should be replaced soon. There are now much more efficient systems that we are looking at. Simply resealing and caulking the buildings will give us an estimated 10- to 12year simple payback.

I am sure there will be more detailed information available over the next month or so, as the details start coming back from McKinstry. As for now, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me about this or any other con-

Regatta ends canoe museum season

Mike Johnson (left) and Mike Bartz (right), together with Jamie Dunn, spent over 100 hours building the classic wooden canoe which was the grand prize in the Canoe Heritage Museum raffle. And the winners were Marie-Anne and Gregg Westigard of Frederic.

by Gregg Westigard Special to the Register SPOONER – An autumn regatta on the Namekagon River marked the partial end of the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum’s season. Folks gathered on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 22 and 23, at Washburn County Leisure Lake Camp for a day of water games, food and music on Saturday followed by a canoe paddle on the river on Sunday.

The museum’s exhibition hall will be open on weekends through October and then close for the season, opening next Memorial Day weekend, Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Day, with another grand gathering of classic canoes and wooden boats.

But while the museum, with its unique collection of beautiful historic canoes, hibernates, the canoe shop in the building on Front Street in Spooner will stay ac-

tive. It is there that canoe craftspeople and enthusiasts gather to restore boats from the past and build new canoes. The legacy of canoe building is passed on to a new generation of builders. The wellequipped shop, with its collection of canoes in various states of restoration or construction, is a museum in itself.

One of those newly built canoes, the result of over 100 hours of work by Mike Johnson, Mike Bartz and Jamie Dunn, was the grand prize for the museum’s 2012 raffle. The drawing was Sept. 22.

And the winners of the Chestnut Prospector 16-foot wooden and canvas canoe (a classic 1905 design) were MarieAnne and Gregg Westigard of Frederic.

Information on the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum, its exhibition hall, programs and shop can be found at wisconsincanoeheritagemuseum.org or at 715-635-2479.

While some solo canoeists tried out a couple of the variety of paddlecraft that were at the WCHM 2012 Autumn Regatta, some of the more adventurous attendees got a ride in a 25-foot voyageur canoe with the voyageurs from Forts Folle Avoine. – Photos by Greg Westigard.

A closer look at the school forest before its harvested

The Shell Lake fourth grade visited the school forest on Friday, Sept. 28, to see what it looks like before it is cut over. From the yellow marks on the trees they can see which ones will be harvested. The students will return Friday, Oct. 5, to watched the trees being harvested and processed. — Photo by Larry Samson
