County budget and tax levy approved

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – The Washburn County Board approved the 2010 tax levy and 2011 budget, with one amendment, Tuesday, Nov. 9, at the Elliott Building, Shell Lake.

The county’s finance committee held a public hearing on the budget Thursday, Nov. 4, at the Elliott Building, where Chair Tom Mackie said the $10.5 million tax levy, if approved, will remain the same as last year’s. The total budget projected is at $28 million. The state forestry mill tax, levied against all taxable property, is $439,717.35.

Blue turns to red in Wisconsin

by Regan Kohler WASHBURN COUNTY – Last week, Wisconsin went from a blue to a red state, with the first Republican governor since 2003 elected, and the Democratic U.S. senator ousted, giving Republicans a hold on the Legislature.

According to an article by Craig Gilbert in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel online, Wisconsin was the only state where the Democrats lost the governor and Senate seats. GOP Governor-elect Scott Walker, formerly the Milwaukee County executive, will take over from Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat, while GOP Senator-elect Ron Johnson defeated longtime Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold.

The last Republican Wisconsin governor was Scott McCallum, from 2001-03, when he was defeated by Doyle in the 2002 gubernatorial election. Doyle did not run again for his position this year.

According to JSOnline, Wisconsin’s gain of a Republican governor and U.S.

senator in the same election has not occurred since 1938.

GOP candidate Kurt Schuller also defeated incumbent state Treasurer Dawn Sass. Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen was re-elected, though Democratic incumbent Secretary of State Doug La Follette kept his seat.

The GOP saw government officials in the districts representing Washburn County and surrounding areas take many seats. Outgoing Democratic Congressman Dave Obey, Seventh District, and Assembly Rep. Mary Hubler, 75th District, did not run again, and their seats are filled by Republican elects Sean Duffy and Roger Rivard, respectively. In Washburn County, Rivard defeated his opponent, Democrat Steve Perala, by a mere 102 votes.

Democratic Sen. Bob Jauch, 25th District, kept his seat, defeating Republican candidate Dane Deutsch, and 73rd District Assembly Rep. Nick Milroy defeated GOP candidate Bonnie Baker.

Deutsch and Baker both carried Washburn County, however.

Washburn County Democratic Party Chair Sue Hansen said that in thinking over the Tuesday, Nov. 2 election, “I’m disappointed with the tone.”

Hansen said she felt the Tea Party played a phenomenal part in this election, though within two years the Tea Party, or the Republican Party, won’t be a force.

“It’s about doing the right thing for our country,” she said.

A huge loss for the state, she said, was the U.S. senator.

“I’m very, very disappointed about losing Russ Feingold,” Hansen said.

The Supreme Court recently overturned a ban preventing corporations from giving their own funds to campaigns, ruling that corporations are considered people, and can fund politicians.

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake City Council authorized engineers to proceed with a Third Street reconstruction project that would widen the road 1 foot on each side, at a meeting Monday, Nov. 8, in city hall.

The city has been working with MSA Engineering on road construction projects, and with the recent approval of a Safe Routes to School plan that would make the city eligible for grant funding for safe pedestrian and bike routes to the schools, had talked about putting sidewalks or a bicycle lane on Third Street.

They applied for a Department of Transportation grant, but the city received a letter denying the request last month.

At the Nov. 3 Public Works Administration meeting, a recommendation came out to direct MSA to proceed with plans for the Third Street project, without side-

walks or a bike lane, but that the street be designed so it could accommodate a bike lane in the future. The recommendation came before the council during the public works report Monday night.

MSA engineer Teresa Anderson said Third Street would be widened by 2 feet – one on each side – making the road 40 feet wide overall. There would be two 10-foot travel lanes, which would be adequate if the city wanted to put in a bike

lane in the future, and would allow enough room for pedestrians to walk. If a bike lane is ever created, the preferred option is “to reduce on-street parking to one side,” Anderson said. Currently, vehicles can park on both sides of Third Street.

“That 40-foot cross section is pretty minimal,” she said, adding that the odds

Ventures Unlimited received a $17,200 check from Bremer Bank’s foundation Tuesday, Nov. 2, at the Spooner thrift shop. The funds will go toward replacing the store’s roof and soffit and fascia (the boards underneath the roof), so it can be extended 8 feet out, allowing the store more room for products like furniture.

of a bike on one side of the road with two vehicles in each direction at one time are “pretty slim.”

The estimated total of the project, with engineering, is around $700,000, Anderson said.

Alderperson Jeri Bitney said she liked the idea of a 40-foot street and equal impact on both sides of the road, without any yard space affected.

Alderperson Andy Eiche asked if, after taking into consideration that the city’s SRTS grant application was denied, the city needed the two extra feet, and wanted to know if this was predicated on getting an SRTS grant.

Alderperson Greg Kittelsen said the city is not required to put a bike lane on Third Street, but it can be preserved for the future with the extra 1 foot on each side.

“It will be just like it is now,” he said.

Bitney mentioned that Third Street is the widest and safest in the city that people can walk on with vehicles going

n bu r h s Wa nty u o C

north and south. She said safety was her overriding concern in the matter, and she had never been in favor of a sidewalk on that street.

Council President Randy Baker said the city is chasing the Third Street project like the SRTS plan described it, unfunded. He said the next part of the SRTS plan had Second Street down for sidewalks.

“Somebody in the city is going to have a sidewalk next to their house, like it or not,” Baker said.

Bitney said she was on the committee that created the SRTS and didn’t recall a sidewalk as a firm part of the plan for Third Street.

Eiche, who was not on the council when creation of the SRTS began, asked if there was any true input on the plan, as he understood sidewalks are the cost of homeowners on those streets.

City Administrator Brad Pederson said there were posted meetings, and the council would still have to approve any

specs for sidewalks.

Bitney said that if the city continues to follow the plan or deletes it, they are not committed to reapply for any grants.

Third Street residents spoke to the matter that night. Ken Schultz said he was told that SRTS funding requires 5 feet of green space between roads and a 10-foot bike lane.

Public Works Director Jeff Parker clarified this, saying there was information suggesting that requirement when they began working on the SRTS plan. He said the city had to know what it would be dealing with, but “nothing was written in stone.”

Anderson said that what Schultz described was a “shared-use path,” and the other option was bike lanes within the pavement.

Schultz said that Third Street is part of the newly created ATV route through the city limits, so this would add to the traffic on that road. He said motorized vehicles are prohibited from entering bike lanes.

“I’m not sure on rules for ATVs,” Anderson said.

Bitney said that if they reapplied for a grant, this would be taken into consideration.

Schultz said that unless the ATV route is moved to a different street, “I see a conflict.”

Mayor Sally Peterson said bike lanes would not be factored in at this point.

Kittelsen reiterated that the project would go ahead simply keeping in mind the minimum cross section for a future bike lane.

“It doesn’t say that we’re going to do

it,” he said, adding that it was better to add 1 foot on each side for walkers.

He said they were just saying the design would be 40 feet, with the possibility to accommodate parking and bikers in the future.

Andy Falstad said he noticed a 1-foot addition would affect the power poles on that street, and Anderson said this was true, if they are close to the curb.

Another Third Street resident asked if trees that were close to the curb would come down, and Parker said the city would be adjusting the curb and putting the sewer down, so a lot of roots would be lost.

“I’m guessing you will lose them,” Parker said.

Pederson said there would be curb and gutter assessment, and a public hearing would be held, with the residents notified. He said the city recently reconstructed CTH B and First Street, and Third Street’s costs would probably be similar.

Anderson added that the cost is usually $10 per foot, which is what the city pays to the contractors. Pederson mentioned payments can be done in 10 equal installments, at any time.

Another resident asked if it would make sense to have a bike lane, since he sees so few bikers. Kittelsen said that if there is no demand, then there will be no bike lane.

Eiche added that the SRTS survey exposed that the number of students riding bikes to school wasn’t very high.

“It was quite a small percentage,” he said.

Construction of new DNR service center in Spooner has begun

NOVEMBER 10, 2010 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3

SPOONER — Work on the new Department of Natural Resource’s Service Center in Spooner has begun. Construction at the site, located immediately behind the current building on Hwy. 70 west of Spooner, will take about 12 months to complete.

“We are excited about getting under way,” said Northern Region Director John Gozdzialski, “and we are looking forward to moving into one of the most energy-efficient buildings built in the area.”

The structure replaces the current building that is neither energy-efficient nor energy-code compliant and too small for the demands of DNR northern operations. Gozdzialski said that consultants recommended that a new facility was the

most cost-effective alternative in achieving important energy and space goals now and in the future.

“The building is designed and to be constructed to meet or exceed the requirements for Gold Level certification of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating system,” Gozdzialski said. He explained that LEED is an international standard created to define green buildings by establishing a common measurement and promote integrated whole-building design.

Some of these energy innovations include a high-efficiency heating, ventilation and cooling system using natural gas in an under-floor distribution system. The building will be built about 18

inches on risers from the concrete slab allowing room for the HVAC, electronics and telecommunications.

There has been a Department of Natural Resources presence in Spooner since 1913 when the fish hatchery was built.

Through the years, the department has added programs and staff to meet the needs of area citizens and visitors.

“This new building emphasizes both our commitment to meeting the natural resources needs of northern Wisconsin and to the residents and visitors who depend on those resources,” Gozdzialski said.

Most of the offices for the 73 staff will be open-air cubicles with some private offices for administrative staff.

Gozdzialski pointed the new building

will provide enough space for current staff, but more importantly for staff who are currently working in another rented building, ultimately saving operating budgets.

The new building will have 18,100 square feet of space for offices, a lobby and customer service area. Building materials will be mainly wood and quarry stone with a metal roof. Cost is estimated at $5 million.

Gozdzialski noted that staff will remain in the old building during construction and it will be demolished once the new facility is completed.

The current service center will maintain its regular hours 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 4 p.m., Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays. — from the DNR

A few citizens commented at the hearing Thursday night. Tim Brabec, Beaver Brook, said, “It should be lower.”

Brabec, a board supervisor who sits on the veterans and military affairs committee, said the committee had wanted $9,000 to be allocated in the 2011 budget to bring in The Moving Wall, a traveling Vietnam War memorial.

However, Brabec said it should have come out of the last committee meeting, but did not get sent to finance in time to be added to next year’s budget. He said they can’t make a commitment to get the wall until a payment is given, by Jan. 1.

Mackie said the county could take it out of contingency funds, which would not change the budget, or make a transfer from this year’s budget to the next.

Brabec noted the organization needs only a $2,500 down payment, but the committee doesn’t know how many other places have requested the wall yet.

“We’ll take care of it,” Mackie said.

Claudette Harrington, Beaver Brook, said that at the last county board meeting, administrative coordinator/finance director Mike Keefe talked about the county being in good financial shape, better than other counties.

She asked how much was in the general fund.

Keefe said there was about $4 million, and Harrington then asked if there was a reason the county kept that much in the general fund. Keefe replied that it depends on the purposes. He said it is an accumulation of money.

Harrington asked if $20,000 that was put toward 20 acres in Minong this year came out of the general fund, and Keefe replied that it had come from the forestry fund. If the county approves it, a department can receive monies from the general fund, but Keefe said the department is told to try to find the funding in its own budget first.

Vice Chair Clay Halverson said it is misleading because it seems to be extra money the county is doing nothing with, and people might assume this means the county could cut taxes. However, Halverson said, all departments have budgets, and money allocated toward projects is part of the county’s assets that can be put into a savings account.

For example, he said, there is some funding set aside in the general fund for highway road projects.

Keefe added that there is $1.3 million cash in the general fund that is needed to cover tax certificates on properties.

“It’s not $4 million that’s just available,” he said.

Keefe said with a cash flow like this in the budget, it gives the county a better rating for bond retirement.

If all departments break even, he said, there is nothing to put in the general fund at the end of the year.

Harrington asked if this fund could provide tax relief, and Halverson said that if this were done, the following year the county would have to come up with that much money to make up for it.

Supervisor James Dohm said that the state says the county can only tax so much, and when they don’t tax to the max, the county gets hurt later.

Harrington asked if this is taxpayers’ money in the general fund.

“Of course it’s the taxpayers’ money,” Keefe said.

Halverson clarified that it is all kinds of funds, and said that all government money

originates with the taxpayers. He said that nearly everything in the general fund is earmarked for something, except for the undesignated fund balance.

Mackie commented again that Washburn County was doing well in its budget process.

“A lot of counties … are in trouble,” he said.

Tuesday morning, Brabec brought up the subject of The Moving Wall, saying all that is needed at the moment is $2,500 to save a date, and the rest could be found through fundraising, private entities or veterans organizations. He said the full $9,000 may not even be needed, and any unspent can go into the county’s general fund.

When asked, Brabec said the wall will be up 24-7 for the public to view, for about four days.

Brabec moved to amend the budget to add up to $9,000 in the veterans fund for the wall, and Supervisor Micheal Bobin amended Brabec’s motion to have the money taken out of the development fund, so the tax levy is not affected.

Halverson questioned whether it was the role of county government to supplement such things, when there are budget issues.

“I think this is a very good thing,” he said of bringing in the wall.

However, he said he did not think it was the county’s role to finance it, but more for nonprofit and private organizations to fund.

Supervisor Dan Hubin said Brabec was saying that right now they need the funds to save the date and then organizations can supplement the rest.

“How much the county’s going to be paying, that remains to be seen,” Hubin said.

Dohm said that while he supported the endeavor, he too felt that funds should come from the American Legion or private entities, with the county asked last.

“I’m not sure if the county government should be funding those kinds of things,” he said.

Bobin said he understood their concerns, but the reason he chose the development fund for the amendment was because two private sources put money into it – Enbridge and ATC. “It is county government’s job to honor the veterans,” he added.

Hubin said bringing in this wall shows great support, demonstrating that the county honors its veterans. “$9,000 is a drop in the bucket,” he said.

Brabec commented that it was the government who brought the veterans into war.

The board approved adding $9,000 to the veterans fund for the wall, with the money to come from the development fund, 17-3.

Supervisors Bobin, Mackie, Brabec, Hubin, Steve Waggoner, Skip Fiedler, Tom Ricci, Robert Lester, Nell Lee, William Allard, Don Quinton, Greg Krantz, Romaine Quinn, Larry Ford, William Campbell, Steve Sather and David Haessig voted yes, with Supervisors Dohm, Halverson and Beth Esser voting no. Youth representatives Amanda Hagen, Chris Soelle and Ian McNurlin voted yes, as well.

Corporation Counsel Jeff Kohler told the board the finance committee had cut his department’s budget by $13,000, to reduce his legal assistant’s hours by 20 percent. He urged the board to consider adding it back in, as the office needs to be open full time to deal with emergencies that need to be addressed, and as he is at 70 percent time and cannot be in the office all the time due to

other legal duties, as he is city attorney in Spooner and operates a private practice.

Kohler said his department is one of the smallest, yet got the largest budget cut.

If one is sick or on vacation, the other covers it, or they get a separate attorney to come in, he said.

Halverson said he was against adding the $13,000 back in, as next year’s budget “will be way more difficult.” He said the finance committee came up with minimal cuts, and backfilled these with $100,000 of cash reserves.

“Sooner or later, we’re going to have to start making some tough decisions,” Halverson said.

Next year, there will be personnel cuts in every budget, he said.

Bobin said that there were 30 different times he counted that emergencies Kohler was describing came up in the corporation counsel department, so he felt the money should be spent there.

“I don’t think it’s really wise to cut legal services” in litigious times like these, Bobin said.

He suggested taking the money from the human services department, unless the board wanted to increase the levy.

Keefe said the funding could come from human services, a levy increase or the general fund. He mentioned he was the one who

pushed for the 20-percent time reduction, as there are scheduling processes that can keep the department covered.

Dohm said he understood the concern, but every department could then come in asking for more funding.

A motion was made to amend the budget to return the $13,000 to corporation counsel, but it failed 19-1, with Bobin the sole yes vote.

All three youth voted no, as well.

When it came time to vote upon the budget and levy, Hubin said the supervisors only had one sheet in front of them, not the entire detailed budget, and he felt they should have more time to review it.

Halverson said it is not practical to send out so much paperwork, and every committee gets the opportunity to go through their own budgets. Supervisors can also visit the finance department to look at it, he added.

“This is the budget,” he said.

Bobin mentioned that there were noticed public meetings to go through the budget and ask questions.

The budget was approved, and Mackie thanked everyone for their work.

“It was not a lot of fun,” he said.

Not everyone got what they wanted, but it was the best for the county today, Mackie said.

Movie shoot approved for city

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – A movie shoot will be done later this month in Shell Lake, and extras will be needed, after the city council gave the film company the go-ahead at a meeting Monday, Nov. 8, in city hall.

The TRIWAR/Chasing Autumn film company, Ham Lake, Minn., will use Shell Lake as the setting for “Discursion,” a postapocalyptic, humanistic film about the psychological effects on man after a viral outbreak devastates the world, leaving almost no survivors. TRIWAR’s Mitchell A. Jones said the definition of discursion is “to wander, physically or thought to thought.”

Jones said the film will be “blending a lot of classic horror into a modern feel,” with Alfred Hitchcock-style suspense and lacking in gore, unlike many modern-day horror movies. The movie plays on isolation and uncertainty, with a twist at the end, he said.

TRIWAR’s Nicole Kruex said the company’s associate producer, who is from Mankato, Minn., has a cabin on Shell Lake, and sent them photos of the area.

She said the company was originally using Luverne, Minn., as the setting, but loved the beauty of Shell Lake, and found a lot of the story could be tailored to the town.

“We are completely sold on how beautiful the town is,” Ruex told the council Monday night.

“Discursion” will have a variety of actors, many from the Minneapolis area, with a cameo from an L.A. actor. TRIWAR is looking for extras, ages 18 and older, to be involved in the movie the weekend of Friday and Saturday, Nov. 26-27. Ruex said they will be shooting interiors on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 19

and 20, so the extras will be needed the following weekend, for exterior shots.

The schedule may change if there is inclement weather.

Only Main Street will be used for scenes, she said, and the hours will be from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., with exterior shots from 3-7 a.m., so people heading to work in the morning will not be inconvenienced. Jones said there will be, at most, 20 people around at the time, as it is a small production.

Those interested in being extras can email extras@discursionmovie.com.

Jones said the movie will have no nudity or profanity, and there will be no loud noises or work interruptions, due to the hours of filming. He said there may be a few generators in place, but that is all. He said they will be working with the city to accommodate everyone.

The company is covering the cost of an off-duty law enforcement officer during the shooting hours, and Alderperson Greg Kittelsen said the police chief is already on board for this.

“Everybody’s been more than accommodating,” Ruex said.

Ruex said food and lodging will be within the city, to spread the commerce to the area, and the company wants to donate 3-5 percent of the movie’s profits to any area the city feels fit.

When asked about liability, Ruex said the company carries a million-dollar insurance policy, so it is covered.

Alderperson Jeri Bitney said, “I just think it’s neat.”

The council approved the weekends of Nov. 19-20 and 26-27 for filming.

Letters to the editor

Give them a call

Since the election there’s been a lot of talk from congressional Republicans about heading to Washington to repeal the health insurance reform legislation, signed into law by President Obama last March.

What you don’t hear them talking about is that they’ll also be looking over their options for individual or family health insurance through the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, which is, brace yourself, a taxpayer-subsidized, government-regulated health insurance program! That’s right!

The FEHBP regulates private health insurance companies that want to compete within the federal exchange by requiring

minimum benefit standards, and by prohibiting these companies’ worst excesses such as refusing coverage because of preexisting conditions, establishing waiting periods for coverage, recession of coverage, etc. The federal government picks up roughly 70 percent of the cost of a given policy, your taxpayer dollars, and the employee pays the balance, your taxpayer dollars also. It’s essentially 100 percent taxpayer-subsidized, government-regulated health insurance.

What does the PPACA mostly do? It requires health insurance companies that want to compete within a given state exchange to establish a minimum benefit standard, and prohibits these companies’

worst excesses such as refusing coverage due to pre-existing conditions, recission of coverage … wait a minute, it seems I’m repeating myself here.

So what can we conclude from all of this? Republican legislators think it’s just fine for them and their famillies to enjoy the benefits and affordability of government-regulated health insurance, but they’re dead set against you and your family having the same advantages.

Why? I don’t know. Maybe you should pick up the telephone and ask them.

Although the campaigns are over, the hard work for the voters has just begun.

We have sent new legislators to Madison and Washington with a slate of challenging goals. These legislators need our audible support if they are to be successful in their new mission.

News reports indicate that the budget offered by newly elected officials will reflect a reduction in the size of government. The president is expected to veto this budget and threaten a government shutdown. Some politicians anticipate that a significant number of people will whine about the possible loss of federal

funding. This evidence that the people have become dependent on big government would make it nearly impossible for Republicans to realize their political goals.

That will be the time for us to send emails, make phone calls and write letters supporting the actions of our newly elected representatives. We must remember that during our first 200 years, America had a very limited government, the largest middle class, the best educational system and the most productive economy of that time. Will the voter rely on American exceptionalism and remain

confident that any challenges presented will be overcome with good old American ingenuity? Or will we surrender to big government?

The future will bring many such challenges for the voter. If our legislators are to be successful, if we support the Constitution, if we are going to return to a fiscally responsible limited government, the voter must follow in the footsteps of our Founding Fathers and put patriotism before personal interest or political party.

An open letter to Mr. Duffy, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Walker and all the other Tea Party folks who were elected on Nov. 2.

Well, you won. I won’t say you won fair and square because you didn’t and it wasn’t! Lies and millions in secret money do not make a fair election. Some will surely say that this letter is sour grapes.

However, in the world of politics as in nature, sometimes grapes are in fact, sour. Yet, you did receive more votes than the better candidates, so let me share a few thoughts with you. Please do not forget that Wisconsin is a moderately progressive state. Those of us who are unhappy with your election will be watching closely. Every time you vote or

work against the people of Wisconsin and vote or work for your corporate and bankster overlords it will be pointed out in these pages and other places.

Fortunately, in the case of you, Duffy, and the Congress there will be another election in two years where this mistake will be corrected. Sadly, in the case of you, Johnson, your defeat of one of the best senators in the history of the U.S. Senate means that we are stuck with you for six years. Walker, you will come to realize that four years is not a very long time and you will not be able to hide from the truth as you did during the campaign. So, Progressives will be watching closely for — and pointing out

— your expected votes and efforts against the people of this state. At the same time, I personally will be happy to commend you when you vote and work for the people of Wisconsin. I imagine that will not happen very often, but I will be more than pleased to be incorrect in that case.

P.S. Get your supporters to collect all the campaign signs they have abandoned on the roadsides. Littering is illegal and gloating should be.

on the federal, state or even local level.

Just the amount of campaign calls, ads on TV, radio, newspaper and literature in the mail was crushing for many months.

However, with all that said, it is important that we as Americans stay informed on the issues and the candidates, and vote because it is one of our most precious inalienable rights that we can never, nor should we ever, let anyone diminish.

I believe all or most of my signs have been picked up. If I missed one please give me a call and I will make sure it is removed. Or you may keep it. It makes a great garage sale sign or you can use it for target practice, especially if you didn’t vote for me.

Hard work for voters has just begun

MADISON – Washburn County drugtreatment court received a $10,000 check from Wisconsin Department of Justice and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, to expand drug-treatment options.

The DOJ recently settled a class-action lawsuit involving a vitamins price-fixing conspiracy, and funds from that settlement were designated for the improvement of the health of the citizens of this state. In recognition of the important role drug-treatment courts play in the successful reintegration of those offenders into leading law-abiding, drug-free lives, Van Hollen committed half of the funds received by Wisconsin to drug-treatment courts throughout the state.

“Throughout my career, both as a prosecutor and now as attorney general, I have been committed to providing successful alternatives to motivated offenders,” Van Hollen said in a letter to Washburn County’s circuit judge. “I am pleased to support the drug-treatment court in your county and look forward to working with you in the future.”

Washburn County has had a drugtreatment court since it received a joint grant in 2006 from the state, to partner with Burnett County, and it has seen many graduates set out to live substancefree lives after they complete the program. – with info from the Wisconsin Department of Justice attorney general’s office

Community working together to provide Christmas treats for soldiers

Parker said that many parents expressed concern in the survey over safety.

The council approved authorizing MSA to proceed with the reconstruction, with a 1-foot addition on each side and no sidewalks.

Other approvals that night were: • A proposal for a movie shoot the weekends of Nov. 19-20 and Nov. 25-27 (see other article) • The vouchers list Reports and updates were heard from the police chief/zoning administrator, library board, general administration, the downtown redevelopment group, mayor and the financial administration, where it was mentioned the 2011 budget will have a special council meeting Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m. Pederson mentioned during citizens comments that there has been a request for alderpersons’ cell phone numbers to be published in the newspaper, and a request from a resident for more police coverage during afternoons. The latter was referred to GA. During correspondence, Pederson noted that the Christmas Celebration of Lights is approaching, and the city received an e-mail saying it was eligible for grant funding on a Third Street sewer project.

the memo line. Stocking stuffer drops may be made at the Community Bank of Spooner, Trinity Lutheran Church or the United Methodist Church in Spooner.

The deadline is Monday, Nov. 15, as boxes need to be packed and in the mail by Dec. 1 to ensure delivery by Christmas. A packaging date will be announced as soon as it set. — from Adopt-a Soldier Project

Hansen commented that this is the first time the county has felt the impact of this funding on campaigns, and that constituents will either have to adjust or change if they don’t want corporations to buy their candidates.

Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden, a member of the GOP, was re-elected for four more years, defeating Democratic candidate Paul Johnson, and Hansen said she felt the county lost the chance to have Johnson, who she felt could have been a good sheriff. If Dryden retires, she said, the county may not have the same opportunity.

Hansen also said she was sad to see Obey and Hubler leave their offices, but hopes for the best with the new

elected officials.

“Let’s hope each side feels that they’re in it for the good of the country,” she said.

Washburn County Republican Party Chair Dan Hubin said it was time for a “new set of eyes” to look at things in the Legislature, and was happy to see the GOP back, primarily on the federal level and now on the state, too.

“We are getting a check and balance in government,” Hubin said. “I’m happy that as many Republicans that won, won.”

Hubin said he was happy with the results of the 75th District Assembly election.

Opportunity to help others

It seems that as soon as I flipped the calendar to November, the days really accelerated.

Time goes fast anyway, and when the months of November and December bring early deadlines because of holidays, one has to plan ahead.

It is an exciting time as one prepares for celebrations and the opportunity to help others.

In its 25th year, the Christmas Fund project, originally sponsored by the Spooner-Trego Lions Club, will be expanded this year with the Shell Lake Lions Club becoming more actively involved. The Washburn County Register has also been asked to become a sponsor.

Although my part is small, I am excited to be involved with this project. Persons living

SPOONER — The community is working hard on making the Adopt-A-Soldier Platoon project a great success. The effort will be much appreciated by the soldiers in the 724 Battalion serving in Iraq. There are close to 600 men and women in the 724, which is made up of four units, the 950, FSC, HHC and the 273.

The goal of the committee is to have 600 stockings filled and mailed to them for Christmas. Due to a lot of talented seamstresses, there are 600 very decorative stockings to fill. Many have donated items to fill the stockings, and there is still a need of items to meet the goal. Items needed include toothbrushes, granola bars, hard individually wrapped candy, deodorant, pocketsize tissue, lotions, disposable razors, lip balm and notepads. The group requests trial-size items. If you would like to know more about the project or what kind of items are needed, you can contact either Lynda Mar-

End of a season, end of a dream

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake football season came to an early end as the Lakers fell 41-0 to their conference rivals, the Gilman Pirates. There were only eight teams going into the Level 3, Division 7 playoffs; now there are only four.

Mackenzie Curtis with a tackle on Gilman quarterback Jamison Szemraj on this run. The Shell Lake defense held Szemraj to 14 yards on five carries.

This group of seniors has grown up together with a common dream, going to state. Dreams die hard but how you face defeat shows more about character than how you win. The Lakers, undefeated Small Lakeland Conference champions, finished the season 11-1. This group of seniors has a 42-6 overall record and a 31-1 conference record from the time they were freshmen.

A perfectly thrown ball to receiver Travis Galick left little for the defensive Shell Lake received the opening kick back Cavan Maher to do but to make the tackle. Galick was the top receiver for on Saturday, Nov. 6, and moved the ball Gilman with 41 yards on three receptions. Gilman had 99 yards in the air for the down midfield. Jesse Gronning had a 6game.

yard run and it was second and four.

Quarterback Tom Helstern tried to pass to Tyler Anderson but the ball was well defended by defender Cody Skabroud, who tipped the ball. Faced with a third and four, Shell Lake failed to convert and was forced to punt. Gilman was able to move the ball downfield capping off the drive with a 9-yard run by Austin Zack and Gilman was up 8-0. The Gilman defense stopped the high-scoring Shell Lake offense and put together two more successful series with a mix of running and passing. They had 180 yards on the ground and 99 yards passing. Gilman went up 35-0 before the end of the half when Shell Lake gave up a fumble and an interception that went for a touchdown. Gilman had sealed Shell Lake’s fate when they scored twice in 30 secShell Lake quarterback Tom Helstern tries to shoot through and is tackled by onds. With a running clock and a tough Wade Hendricks. The Gilman defense successfully keyed on Helstern and kept Gilman defense, Lakers ended their seathe Lakers offense off the field for most of the game. son disappointed but their heads held high.

Gilman will face Randolph in the semifinal game on Saturday, Nov. 13. Ran-

Defensive back Cody Skabroud tips this pass out of Tyler Anderson hands.

The completion would have been first down instead of third and four yards.

It’s been beautiful November weather so far this first week for getting the corn combined, fieldwork done, winter’s wood up and football games.

The darkness so early makes evenings so long since the time change but if we lived in Alaska now we wouldn’t see the sun at all this time of year so let’s not complain.

Saturday the Shell Lake football boys ended on a sad note, losing by such a bad margin to Gilman, but we are so proud of them showing us a great season of high school football.

Inez Elliott, formerly of Sarona, returned home to Barron from Austin, Texas, on Saturday where she has been visiting her son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Wendy Elliott.

She enjoyed keeping up on local happenings by reading the Sarona News on the Web. She reports that the world has sure changed a lot in 89 years and sends her greetings to everyone in the Sarona area.

Elfreda West and I attended the funeral for 89-yearold Harvey Lillette held at the Dahl Funeral Home on Monday. Harvey and his brother, Jack, both bachelors, lived their entire life on their home farm that is just one mile south of my home place in the town of Crystal. The day of the funeral his sister-in-law, Violet, the late Bert Gillette’s wife, passed away at the Spooner nursing home. Sympathy to Jack, the last one of the five Gillette boys left, and the Gillette family.

An editor reported that a Japanese inventor was making and selling an electronic head cooler.

Interesting! What we need is fewer hot heads and more warm hearts.

So many are flying into a rage, and they always make a bad landing. Some are continually popping off, and they always burst the breech only to hurt themselves. Others are daily blowing their stack, and they always pollute the atmosphere.

But the Bible says, “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be kind to one another.”

Rifle hunting season is almost here. Man, how the time has flown. It seems as though we were just celebrating Easter, and here it is, almost time to start thinking about Thanksgiving dinner again. And, of course, this is the time of the year that all the church groups and civic groups start serving their fall dinners. Probably better start taking brisk walks now — you’ll have to be working those extra harvest-festival-type calories off soon.

Our Savior’s Lutheran in Campia hosted their annual Ole and Lena lutefisk dinner last Saturday. I’m sorry to say that we missed it this year. Our dispatchers decided that we should be in Baraboo on Saturday. Suzy and Ryan Lehmann on the other hand, who absolutely do not eat lutefisk, said that the parking lot of the church was filled to capacity, so they must have had a quite a crowd. Man, I hate to miss Our Savior’s Scandinavian dinner. I have so many wonderful memories of attending service and Sunday school there as a child — always sitting with Grandpa and Grandma Hefty. And, you all know that I’m truly older than dirt, but I still get to visit with some of my Sunday school teachers when I go back there. Hopefully we’ll be home for the dinner next year.

This Friday evening Barronett Civic Club members will be hosting their annual hunters supper at the Barronett Community Center. It starts at 5:30 p.m., and after the dinner there will be an indoor hunting contest, meat raffles, games, and a drawing for the big prizes — which are rifles and a trail camera. Hope you can make it over. We always have a lot of fun, and the food is really great. Actually, I think the people who work in the kitchen for the hunters supper missed their calling.

They could have made a fortune in the restaurant business.

The women of Barronett Lutheran met Thursday evening, and one of the items on the agenda was, of course, our Scandinavian dinner, which will be held on Dec. 4 this year. That’s the first Saturday in December, so please mark it in your calendar and plan to be with us that day. We are also planning to have the dinner in the early afternoon this year rather than at night, a suggestion that was given to me by a member of the Wednesday evening card playing group at Barronett

Community Center. She said that she thought that more people would be able to come then, so I certainly hope she’s right. We’ll be serving all our usual delicious food and desserts, and we hope you can join us. We work really hard that day, but we love doing it, and we especially love seeing all our friends enjoying themselves at the tables.

John Schmidt, who deserted us for Colorado a couple of years ago, was back in the area this past weekend visiting with friends. John, and of course his twin sister, celebrated their 60th birthday on Monday. John wasn’t able to be with his sister to celebrate as she was driving an aunt to Chicago that day, but he did go to his hometown in southern Wisconsin to spend time with his two brothers. Anyway, we hope John had a wonderful day, and would like to welcome him — and his sister, of course — to the really-really-really old-timers club. It only gets better from here on, John.

Lynn Thon and I are going to Ashland this week to spoil those precious twins a little. I can’t wait. I haven’t seen them for at least three weeks now, and Lynn said that they just keep getting cuter and cuter. I’m not sure this is exactly true, but I’ve heard that the hope that someday they will have grandchildren, and of course great-grandchildren, is the main reason parents don’t strangle their own children when they are teenagers.

Lynn, Duane and I visited with our cousin, Sue Meier, in Milwaukee on Sunday. Sue showed us around the town, and took us to some very nice shops and antique stores. It was great — we always have fun when Sue is around.

That’s about all I have from Barronett this week. I hope you can make it to the hunters supper Friday evening. It is such a fun and inexpensive way to spend time. See you then.

What a beautiful day we had Nov. 7! Yes, the sunshine was out with no breeze and the temps were in the 50s. It was unusual for this nice weather as by now we usually have some snow. Deer hunting opened in Minnesota on Saturday and makes it hard to track those deer especially if one is wounded with no snow. Let’s hope we have some snow here in Wisconsin when deer season opens.

A very happy 65th wedding anniversary to two very special people, Glen and Lorraine Crosby, as they celebrate together Nov. 11. Many more to this great couple.

Nov. 11, a very happy birthday to Amanda Petersen as she enjoys her special day with many more to come.

Happy birthday wishes to out to Tanner Becker, Bill Pfluger, Donna LaPorte, Jared Williams and to 3-yearold Jared Swan. All have a wonderful day.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Scott LaVeau on his special day, Nov. 13. Have a wonderful day, Scott.

Happy birthday to Zach Myers on his special day, Nov. 14. Zach is the grandson of Kris and Bob Fjelstad.

Have a wonderful day Zach.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Nicole (Dahlstrom) Hoffman on her special day, Nov. 14. Have a wonderful day, Nicole.

Nov. 15, a very happy birthday to Spencer Mitchell with many more to come.

Happy birthday to a very golden oldie, Irene Glessing, on her special day, Nov. 17 when Irene turns 95 years old. Have a very wonderful day, Irene.

Happy birthday to Matthew LaVeau on his special day, Nov. 17, with many more Matthew.

Have you read about the new bill two lawmakers from New York have introduced? Yes, this bill would require any eggs sold in New York to come from chickens that have been vaccinated against salmonella.

Sounds like a good idea to keep people from getting salmonella doesn’t it?

Saturday, Jeff, Rem and Ry Ladd and friend Matt came up to check out deer stands. While here Jeff and Matt did some roofing work for us. Rem and Ry and I had a great time doing lots of fun things but there’s only

Washburn County Area Humane Society

one thing wrong, they are growing up too fast.

Visiting Diane Hulleman from Friday until Sunday morning were Chad and Izzy Jensen. Colleen was working. Michael Patrick, Murray, Chris and Steve Hulleman went down to Jack Hulleman’s where they worked on a pole barn for Jack. Recently Steve and Diane Hulleman went out to Diane’s land to cut wood.

Getting out there they found about two pickup loads of wood that they had split was gone. All that was left was the wood that had to be cut. People have to be very careful where they have things as you just might find it gone when you go to get it including gas and other things.

Talking with Marv Knoop we find he is busy cutting wood now. Be careful, Marv as there are wood thieves out. Marv and Gladys Knoop and Cass and Nadine Vanderhoof were supper guests Doug and Karen Vanderhoof’s for Doug’s birthday Oct. 31. Marv enjoyed a birthday supper at Mark and Noel Knoop’s, Bryan and Alecia’s this last Saturday night. Marv tells us Claude McCarty will be starting chemo soon probably in Rice Lake. If anyone would like to help Claude, please give him a call. Claude is in his 80s. Please keep Claude and his family in your special thoughts and prayers.

Talking with Kathy Spears we find they are hoping to get into their new house by Christmas. Their house burned a while back and now they are rebuilding. It will be wonderful for Kathy and Mike to be in their lovely new home.

This weekend Glen and Lorraine Crosby were in Green Bay at their daughter’s, Donna and Jerry Melin’s, and enjoyed spending time with their great-grandchildren Gabe and Broderik as well as their grandchildren Janelle and Eric Hansen.

Saturday, Loretta VanSelus attended the Shell Lake Lakers versus Gilman football game in Shell Lake. Our Lakers were beat by Gilman but the Lakers had a good season and it was wonderful to watch them win or lose.

Later, Matthew, Reyna and Jameson came to watch the game with Loretta.

Doug and Karen Vanderhoof, along with others, attended the dinner sponsored by Dr. Ed Metcalf, their vet. It was held at the Ag Research Station in Spooner last Friday noon. They also had door prizes with Karen winning a nice syringe.

Norma Anderson, is a tenant here at Glenview.

Helping Peder Pederson get up his wood for the winter is Pat Robertson of Shell Lake.

Get-well wishes to Marvin Mortenson who had heart surgery in Eau Claire on Friday night.

Louisa Schade visited this weekend with her sisters and brothers. Frank Mortenson has been very ill so we wish him get-well wishes.

Of course, all football fans of Shell Lake High School attended the sad game between Shell Lake and Gilman on Saturday. I’m sure Gilman wasn’t sad as they played a good game and will go on to meet their next opponent. Good luck to them. Shell Lake has given us a good season.

Judy and Myron Bolterman drove to Woodville over the weekend to visit Judy’s relatives, Roger and Jean Beneston.

Nick Pederson of Milwaukee and Chad White of Cross Plaines came up on Friday to visit Jeff and Brenda Pederson and get some hunting in. They returned home on Monday.

Helen Smith’s family treated her Glenview family to cake and ice cream for her birthday last Monday.

Happy birthday to Lois Odden in Cumberland extended care unit who is celebrating her 93rd birthday Monday, Nov. 8. Her family had cake and ice cream for a large group of family and friends on Sunday.

Abner Odden of Cumberland took in the lutefisk and lefsa dinner on Saturday in Rice Lake and the annual at Timberland on Sunday. He is 94 but gets around good.

A hug is the perfect gift – one size fits all and no one minds if you return it.

Monday was another nice day. I hear some folks have seen snow flurries but we are sunny and calm. Sunday was a beautiful day. Halloween is over and now on to Thanksgiving and hunting season.

Brian Marschall got a 10-point buck over the weekend with bow and arrow. Good job, Brian! That will put meat on the table.

Arlys Santiago returned home on Thursday from Maui where she spent a week visiting her stepdaughter, Stephanie Funakai, who is very ill with cancer. Husband Al Santiago grew up in Hawaii, married Arlys Olson and they moved back to Shell Lake. Al was a very nice person. He worked at Economart until he passed away from a heart attack a few years ago.

Arlys was busy getting ready for the Christmas decorations in the park. It is very interesting and if you get a chance to see the elaborate displays you’ll be glad you did.

Mavis and Roger Flach attended the 80th birthday party for Lawrence Flach at Hosanna Lutheran Church in Cumberland on Saturday.

Mavis reminds everyone of the chicken dinner, craft and bake sale at Salem church here in Shell Lake Nov. 16 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Last week Rick Anderson treated everyone at Glenview to walleye and fried bread. Glenview furnished the vegetables and dessert. It was really a special dinner. Thanks Rick, you do it up good. Rick’s mom,

Laker Times Lions vision screening at Shell Lake Primary The Shell Lake Lions Vision Screening Team has been very busy the last few weeks.

The 13-member team, which consists of Dave Vold, Mike Cox, Jackie Avery, Charlotte Schover, Vern Lokken, Rudy and Sharon Kessler, Jim and Marie Andreas, Doug and Diane Downs and Jim and Nancy Swanson, spent approximately 65 hours screening 194 children. The screening was completed at the Washburn County Head Start School, the preschool at Faith Lutheran Church in Spooner and the 4-year-old kindergarten at Shell Lake Elementary. This is a very necessary project as approximately 10 percent of all children screened have undetected eye problems. Shown with Shell Lake 4-year-old kindergarten students are back row (L to R) Lion members Rudy Kessler, Doug Downs, Diane Downs, Jim Swanson, Nancy Swanson, Sharon Kessler and school staff Andrea Wondra, Marlene Stariha and Jackie Smith.

Those Rustic Roads

by Sylvia Oberle, Stanley The 870 miles I’ve hiked on the Ice Age Trail so far are some of the most enjoyable hours I’ve spent. Since some of those miles were on rustic roads, I thought I’d do a little research. It surprised me to find that Wisconsin has 108 Rustic Roads with maps you can print online. And l was really impressed to find all the rules that have to be met in order to get a road declared rustic.

Did you know the following?

Rustic Roads must be a minimum of 2 miles long and the maximum speed on the roads should not be over 45 miles per hour. They should be lightly traveled, feature native wildlife, and be good for hiking and biking.

There is also a badge award for motorcyclists who do a tour of the Rustic Roads. A 10-member board oversees these qualifications and works with local authorities to preserve the natural scenic and historical characteristics.

I especially liked Rustic Road 7 located in Kewaunee County. It passes an old lime kiln, has layers of glacial till and the remnants of a buried forest can be seen on steep bluffs. This is due to wave erosion over the years.

The hiker travels on past a neat old German home and many picturesque barns. It was fun to see the alpaca farm with the cute alpacas looking back at the strange hiker in the blue IAT cap.

Rustic Road 57 in Waupaca County on South Foley Road, with its rolling hills and arch of trees, was a big surprise to my driver, Gene. He had always thought of that area as flat. We hiked high above the road here and

Rustic Road 7, Kewaunee County. – Photo by Sylvia Oberle found a log house that hikers may use for camping. We didn’t stay since it was just a bare bunk with a few sticks of firewood. Besides, we were day hikers. On this road you will also see the rapids of the Waupaca River as you cross the Cobbtown Bridge.

One place I’d like to see a Rustic Road established is in Langlade County. They have so many roads that might qualify. One near the Hillbilly Hilton would be ideal. That little hotel was quite a sight to see this summer! It was almost like a badger cave and it even had a table and chairs inside! It was so neat to see, we didn’t even mind the few ticks on our jeans as we walked through the grass. According to our guidebook’s history, this little living space had been used by loggers at one time.

Right now, I’m just wondering what adventures I will have next when I continue hiking across the 1,000 miles of Ice Age Trail.
