Prison time for batterer’s bail jumping

by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – A 23-year-old Solon Springs man was sentenced to prison time Thursday, Oct. 28, at the Washburn County Courthouse, after violating probation on a battery conviction.

Riley Sikorski had been found guilty of substantial battery – intending bodily harm through domestic abuse and habitual criminality, and of repeated felony bail jumping and disorderly conduct, in November 2009. The charges stemmed from two incidents in 2009, the first being April 19, where he was found guilty of hitting and choking his girlfriend, subsequently knocking her unconscious, after a fight. The reports said the girl suffered

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 Vol. 121, No. 11 • Shell Lake, Wisconsin

by Regan Kohler WASHBURN COUNTY – Washburn County’s incumbent Sheriff Terry Dryden was re-elected in the general election Tuesday, Nov. 2, in an election dominated by the Republicans in races locally, statewide and nationwide.

The election was swept up in a mood of frustration by many voters over the struggling economy and lost jobs, among other issues that put any non-Republican incumbent at risk.

Escaping the GOP landslide regionally were incumbent Democratic State Sen. Bob Jauch, who defeated Republican challenger Dane Deutsch by a margin of 52 percent (31,302 votes) to 49 percent (29,669 votes) and incumbent Democratic State Assemblyman Nick Milroy, who defeated Republican challenger Bonnie Baker by a margin of 56 percent (11,197 votes) to 44 percent (8,650 votes).

In Washburn County, Deutsch was ahead of Jauch, 3,607 to 2,962 with most precincts reporting and Baker was ahead of Milroy, 1,346 to 1,169.

County offices Sheriff Dryden, running on the Republican ballot, defeated his Democratic opponent, Paul Johnson, by 1,283 votes.

The unofficial results as of early Wednesday morning, Nov. 3, were Dryden with 3,960 and Johnson with 2,677.

Clerk of courts Karen Nord was reelected with 4,465 votes, as was coroner Karen Baker, with 4,935. Both were running unopposed.

Duffy new Congressman Sean Duffy won the 7th Congressional District seat vacated by Dave Obey. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Duffy had 52 percent of the votes (131,602

Duffy won among Washburn County voters with 3,339 votes to Lassa’s 3,045 and Kauther’s 108.

Rivard edges Perala Republican Roger Rivard won the District 75 Assembly race, ahead of Democrat Steve Perala by a margin of 51 percent (9,950 votes) to 49 percent (9,534 votes). Rivard will replace outgoing Rep. Mary Hubler.

At county level, Rivard was ahead of Perala, 2,052-1,950.

Governor Republican Scott Walker won the gov-

Walker was ahead in Washburn County, as well.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson was in the lead, knocking out Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold (I) and Constitutiion Party candidate Rob Taylor. Johnson also carried Washburn County.

Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen (I) was ahead of Democrat Scott Hassett. Secretary of State Doug La Follette (I) also was ahead of his opponent, Republican David King, while Republican Kurt Schuller was ahead of state treasurer Dawn Sass (I) in that race.

To be an eligible voter, farmers and ranchers must participate or cooperate in FSA programs. A person who is not of legal voting age, but supervises and conducts the farming operations of an entire farm, can also vote.

Agricultural producers in each county

submitted candidate names during the nomination period held last summer.

Eligible voters who do not receive a ballot can obtain ballots at their local USDA Service Center. Monday, Dec. 6, is the last day for voters to submit ballots in person to local USDA Service Centers.

Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than Dec. 6.

Committee members apply their knowledge and judgment to make decisions on disaster and conservation payments, establishment of allotments and yields, producer appeals, employing FSA county executive directors and other local issues. Newly elected committee members and alternates take office Jan. 1, 2011.

The new machine replaces a 12-year-old model with over 6,000 hours on it that was traded in. The 2011 model differs in many ways from the older machine. One difference is that it has 265 horsepower compared to 185 and is supposed to be more fuel efficient.

Another major difference is that this machine operates entirely with two joysticks. It doesn’t even have a steering wheel nor hydraulic levers. Caterpillar

furnished the township with a simulator for a couple of weeks enabling the grader operators to practice working with this new technology.

Bashaw Township maintains approximately 56 miles of roads and about half of those miles are gravel. The only other equipment the township owns is a single-axle truck used for snowplowing, sanding roads and hauling gravel. Town board members are Jerry Tryca, Steve Degner and Dale Damon.

High winds pummel county

by Regan Kohler WASHBURN COUNTY – The first snow of the year came with a wind storm last week and power outages in Shell Lake.

Spooner Elementary School measures wind speeds, and they are recorded on its Web site, www.spooner.k12.wi.us. According to last week’s records, Tuesday, Oct. 26, had a high windspeed of 54.81 mph. Wednesday, Oct. 27, was close, with 44.28 mph.

The Spooner Ag Research Station recorded 1.04 inches of precipitation Tuesday, and 1.27 inches Wednesday, with a trace of snow.

The wind knocked down many trees throughout Washburn County, and Shell Lake residents had power outages on North Lake Drive and Rolph’s Point for about four hours one day last week.

Other than that, no major damage was reported in the city of Shell Lake.

Loans available for crop storage

SPOONER — Farm Service Agency would like to remind producers that low-interest financing is available to build or upgrade farm storage and handling facilities through the Farm Storage Facility Loan program. For the month of November, loans approved will be fixed for the term of the loan at the low interest rate of 1.875 percent for seven-year loans.

To be eligible for a farm storage loan, you need to produce an eligible commodity crop, have satisfactory credit rating, demonstrate the ability to repay the loan; possess no delinquent nontax fed-

eral debt, demonstrate a need for storage, and provide proof of multiperil crop insurance for the life of the loan, along with some other requirements.

A 15-percent cash down payment is required, and loan terms available are for seven, 10 or 12 years depending on the amount of the loan. The maximum loan amount is $500,000 per loan. The interest rate is fixed for the term of the loan and will be repaid in equal amortized annual installments. There is an application fee of $100. The farm storage facility loan needs to be approved by the local FSA county committee before site preparation

or construction can be started. It is recommended that producers start the loan process about six months ahead of the time you anticipate the project completion. Now is time to start planning for your 2011 crop storage.

Additional information about the FSFL program including all types of eligible facilities and upgrades and all the eligibility/security criteria is available at the Burnett/Washburn FSA office by calling 715-635-8228, Ext. 2 or online at www.fsa.usda.gov. — from FAS

official results come in.

GOP advances In contests that drew national attention, Republicans appeared poised to take control of the state Senate after losing control of it in 2006 and were also making gains in the state Assembly after losing it two years ago.

According to the Milwaukee JournalSentinel, if the GOP goes on to win both

houses, it would represent the first time a political party had done so in a single day of voting since 1938, when Republicans swept out the waning Progressive Party in the state.

Nationally, Republicans gained control of the House but Democrats retained control of the Senate.

Letters to the editor Fellow town of Bashaw residents, unless you have been attending town board meetings or reading the agendas posted in the Washburn County Register or outside the town hall or at the intersection of Green Valley and Tozer Lake roads, you may not know that your board is considering opening several of our roads to ATVs. At its next meeting — Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 6:30 p.m. — the board will consider opening Green Valley Road, Tozer Lake Road, Bashaw Street, Sunset Road, Cadle Road and Brook Drive to the city of Shell Lake to ATVs, to enable riders to access the Wild Rivers Trail — or leave the trail to ride back and forth on our roads.

The board is not required to hold a public hearing on this issue, so the town board meeting’s public input session is your only opportunity to express your concerns about it.

Here are some of mine: When this issue came up a few years ago, the board told ATV club members I appreciated reading the article titled New Beginnings about the Celebrate Recovery Program the week of Oct. 6, but as I read on I was disheartened by the inclusion of homosexuality.

If this article infers that homosexuality is something one needs to recover from, then let me inform you that the American Psychological Association and the National Association of School Psychologists, along with a coalition of education, health, mental health and religious organizations, opI’ve been meaning to write this letter for some time now. I work at the Washburn County Historical Museum, a place I have worked for the past three years. Since I have worked here, I have learned so much about the history of Washburn County. The artifacts are totally amazing!

When the feed mill was going to be closed we thought, what a great opportunity for us to display our Shell Lake and Peterson boats.

There was a party that wanted to donate

Town of Bashaw considers opening roads to ATVs they would have to pay for and maintain the signs and I would hope the board at least is still holding them to that.

Who will regulate ATV use? We don’t have a town constable, or an enforceable speeding ordinance, so any speeders, reckless riders or riders who think they should explore all the other roads — fields, woods, etc. — connected to roads that are legally opened will have very little to worry about.

Are we supposed to call the sheriff’s department? DNR wardens? Town board members? In any case, the riders will be long gone by then.

And just in case the board does open those roads, please realize that our gravel road, Beaver Pond Lane, is a private road maintained at great expense by its residents, and we don’t want it torn up by ATVs. I also dread the sound of ATVs running up and down these roads all hours of the day and night, but my main concern is safety. Are you comfortable sharing our

narrow, crowned roads and deep ditches with ATVs? Does your auto and liability insurance cover a tragedy such as cresting one of our hills or crossing an intersection at the same time as an ATV rider who is not observing the rules of the road? Regardless, no amount of insurance will cover the guilt we would feel from killing someone.

An ATV is no match for a car in a collision, and diving for the ditch would be fatal on some of our roads, too.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think ATVs — and snowmobiles, for that matter — belong on trails designated and signed for them, and I have always thought that was a good use for the public corridors — formerly railroad lines — that we reserved and maintain for them. And there they can be regulated by authorities using the same machines.

To the advocates of opening these roads — who most certainly will be attending next Tuesday night’s town board meeting — is it really so terrible to have to trailer or

pose portrayals of lesbian, gay, bisexual youth and adults as mentally ill or needing to change their orientation.

With the bullying that occurs in schools and in society, it is important that our youth feel safe in their schools, in society and especially within their church communities.

Recently, I attended an interfaith event called Believe Out Loud. Believe Out Loud is about helping churches live out the Christian principle to love one another by

becoming fully inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

It’s time to help create a safer community for all our youth and adults, and to speak out loud our beliefs. If you are interested in learning more please feel free to contact me.

some canoes to a nonprofit organization.

The museum was the only nonprofit organization that the canoes could be donated to. My understanding is that an agreement was made between the city of Spooner and the museum to have a canoe and boat museum that would feature Shell Lake and Peterson boats along with fishing accessories. After the agreement was made, a group of individuals went out and formed their own nonprofit organization and took possession of the canoes. The rest

is history, and our dreams were shattered.

The Shell Lake and Peterson boats remain in storage so no one can enjoy them.

I leave you with a quote from Abraham Lincoln: “You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time — but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. “ God bless America.

Saturday, Oct. 2 David D. Joyal, 29, Rice Lake, hit several trees on CTH MD and CTH D, Long Lake, at 1:05 a.m.

Joyal missed a curve and went into the ditch, then hit a driveway and a sign, before crossing a parking lot sideways and sliding out of the lot. The vehicle went airborne, through a tree, and then rolled over and flipped. It hit another large tree, then rebounded and stopped against a tree. The report said passenger Justin P. Ninedorf, 31, Rice Lake, was pinned under the vehicle, though a log held it mostly off him. Sheriff department deputies, Long Lake first responders and EMTs arrived on the scene. Ninedorf said he remembered getting in the vehicle, and then nothing until they hit the gravel and he woke up underneath it. Joyal said there were other passengers in the vehicle, but Ninedorf said it was only the two of them. A Lifelink helicopter was called to transport Joyal and Ninedorf to a Rice Lake hospital, and Ninedorf was later taken to Sacred Heart Hospital, Eau Claire, for multiple in-

truck your ATV to get to the trail? Remember, you are not only opening those roads to residents who want easier access to the Wild Rivers Trail, but to anyone else who rides it. Are they all as well-behaved and respectful of their neighbors as you? My experience, including 20 years on an ATV/snowmobile route in the town of Spooner, says no! And I think that’s what we should say to this proposal.

The Breezy Bay Band has been entertaining music fans locally for 10 years.

The players are bassist Sam Boatman, Shell Lake; drummer Denny Armstrong, Half Moon Lake; guitarist Ed Schmidt, Balsam Lake; and saxophonist Jerry Youngquist, North Branch, Minn. Boatman, Schmidt and Armstrong share vocals.

Armstrong named the band after Breezy Bay, which is located on the lake where he lives, and it shares the name with his business, Breezy Bay Motor Sports.

“It’s technically his band,” Boatman said.

Youngquist is a career naval officer and lifetime musician, while Schmidt, who also plays steel guitar, saxophone and accordion, works in the optical business in St. Paul, Minn. Boatman is a licensed alcohol dependency counselor at Hazelden in Center City, Minn.

Boatman, who is originally from St. Croix Falls and moved to Shell Lake in 2007, grew up with The Beatles, and has been a musician since his freshman year of high school, when he played in a garage band with his classmates. One of his memories involves playing “Johnny B. Goode,” by Chuck Berry, until his fingers bled, so the band could get it just right. His medium is the strings, and besides the bass, he plays regular guitar and ukulele.

Boatman got to know Armstrong, Schmidt and Youngquist through the music circuit circa 1975, as all of them worked with many different bands on and off over many years.

“At one time, all of us played professionally,” Boatman said.

Boatman became part of the Breezy Bay Band a few years ago, though the band has been around for about 10 years under that moniker. Throughout its time, the band has brought in different musicians, and there are some women who sing with them from time to time, Boatman said.

Classified as a dance band, the Breezy Bay Band plays a variety of music, from polkas to classic rock ‘n’ roll, to wellknown hits from yesteryear and a bit of country music; something for all ages.

They don’t stick to one style of music.

“If you can’t dance to it, we don’t play it,” Boatman said. “We just try to cover styles of (popular) dance music.”

The band often plays at town festivals and private parties, such as birthdays, anniversaries and fundraisers, and are often seen in Polk County and the surrounding area.

“That’s where we know most of the people,” Boatman said.

About a year ago, Boatman was performing with the North Star Minstrels at The Potter’s Shed. It was one of the coffee shop’s music nights, and the North Star Minstrels, which are an acoustic vocal band, did a couple of dance songs that got the crowd on its feet.

“They formed a conga line around the tables,” Boatman said. “Last year was a good time. It was the first band that was ever there (where) people got up and danced.”

ICHC committee member Jan Ogden happened to catch the performance, Boatman said, and approached him about performing at the fundraiser Friday, Dec. 31, which is from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Boatman said Ogden had wanted the North Star Minstrels to perform, but since they are mostly acoustic, he suggested the Breezy Bay Band, which would provide an atmosphere that would allow people to dance, with easy listening for those who want to relax and enjoy conversation. He described the band as a “good variety of dance music at an acceptable volume.”

Boatman said that he, Youngquist, Armstrong and Schmidt are “empty nesters” enjoying a “duffer’s hobby.”

They are in the band to have a good time, and the attitude is that it’s not about the music they play, but “so people there can enjoy it.” Individually, they all perform with different groups. Youngquist often plays at senior citizen centers near his hometown, and is a good pianist as well, Boatman said, playing old-time music those of an older generation will recognize.

“He’s a very well-rounded musician,” he said.

Schmidt is in a country band called Trigger Happy. He has been in that band for 20 years, so Boatman said the Breezy Bay Band is a side gig for him.

“They’re very busy,” he said of Trigger Happy.

Armstrong has always been a drummer, having performed with his father, Jim Armstrong, in Amery since he was 13, Boatman said. Though the band he formed has gone through many musicians, Boatman said Schmidt and Armstrong have been the main members.

Middle school honors band concert at SLAC

SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Arts Center is excited to announce its 11th-annual middle school honors band concert, taking place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 4.

The middle school honors band features the area’s most talented middle school band students receiving instruction from top-notch directors. This year, 206 students from 29 schools will be directed by Jeffrey Gottwig, director of bands at Farmington High School in Minnesota, and Stephen Michaels, fine arts supervisor for the La Crosse School District in La Crosse.

Gottwig has a rich history of performance and education in music, having performed with Janet Jackson, Harry Connick Jr., Thad Jones, The Manhattan Transfer, and many others. He is known in the Twin Cities area for his work with the JazzMN Big Band, the Minnesota Orchestra, Cedar Avenue Big Band, the Wolverines, and the State Fair Orchestra. In addition to this busy schedule, Gottwig is also the director of bands at Farmington High School, where he leads three jazz bands as well as marching and concert bands. During

the summer, he is a faculty member of the Shell Lake Arts Center.

Michaels holds two master’s degrees in music edu-

cation and educational leadership. He is currently the fine arts supervisor for the La Crosse School District and is also the principal at Hamilton Early Learning Center and School of Technology. Prior to these appointments, Michaels was the band director at Lincoln Middle School in La Crosse, where, under his leadership, the program grew to include over half of the school — a huge feat in music education. Michaels has directed countless honors bands across the Midwest, and is in demand as an adjudicator and clinician.

Both Gottwig and Michaels will be working with some of the most talented middle school students in Wisconsin. These young musicians were hand selected by their directors to be representatives of the school music programs. Their nominations were reviewed by a selection committee, and out of nearly 300 applications, 206 were accepted. They will perform some of the most challenging middle school band music at an evening concert. This performance is free and open to the public. — from SLAC

Divine comedy “Almighty Bob” not to be missed

www.wcregister.net

SHELL LAKE — Theatre in the Woods ushers in their 21st season with “Almighty Bob,” a divine comedy, Nov. 5-7 and Nov. 11-14. The show follows the staff of Providence Retirement Home as they welcome Bob Callahan, their newest resident. Bob’s not happy about being there, but since his wife’s death he and his daughter, Karen, have agreed to the arrangement. Karen hopes Bob’s little episodes won’t cause a fuss, but it doesn’t take long for the fun to begin. You see, sometimes he thinks he’s God. And maybe, sometimes he’s right!

“Almighty Bob” was written by Tom Mula to honor Bob Thompson, a veteran actor with Door County’s Peninsula Players. Thompson’s lifetime career as actor and educator was interrupted for four years while he served in the 20th Air Force during World War II. Theatre in the Woods wishes to honor Bob and all who served our country this Nov. 11 with a special ticket price of $5 for all veterans. Additionally, patrons interested in attending both dinner and a play might consider Shell Lake’s newly reopened Lakeview Hotel Bar and Grill, where a meal before performance will include $1 off concessions at The Quam,

For a few weeks, on our Web site, the Washburn County Register offered an e-edition of the paper, which is an exact replica of the printed version except every page has color.

Some of the selling points of the eedition is no ink on your fingers; no piles of old papers sitting around; it’s easy to read; you can save past issues; it is searchable and printable; and you can get your weekly copy before the print version is mailed.

The Register was Suzanne sampled at no Johnson charge to see if people would be interested in subscribing to an e-paper.

We did receive a lot of positive replies.

Some people prefer reading everything online. Others of us prefer a traditional newspaper, inky fingers and all.

A subscriber to the Register stopped

in one day to renew his subscription and said he described himself as a Luddite. He said he had heard the term on public radio. I was curious as to the word myself. He told me a Luddite was someone that wasn’t into new technology. This gentleman had looked up the word in his dictionary. I found myself doing an internet search on the word.

Between 1811-1816, Luddite described the members of any of the bands of English workers that destroyed machinery, especially in cotton and woolen mills, which they believed were threatening their jobs. Another definition is a person opposed to increased industrialization or new technology. The origin of the word may have been named after Ned Lud, a participant in the destruction of machinery.

Technology is changing very rapidly and is causing some things to become obsolete. I occasionally have people stop in the office to see if I can still order typewriter ribbons, but most of the people are seeking printer ink cartridges and toner.

So whether you are considering subscribing to the newsprint or the e-edition of the Register, keep in mind you probably won’t try to kill a fly with your computer monitor as you would a rolled up newspaper.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Air National Guard Airman 1st Class Benjamin R. Zemaitis, son of Patricia and Richard Zemaitis, Birchwood, graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an Associate in Applied Science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Zemaitis is a 2009 graduate of Birchwood High School.

NSTC announces their 15th season

RICE LAKE — The Northern Star Theatre Company is excited to announce their 15th season. “Suite Hearts” opens the season in May. Two couples are inadvertently booked into the same honeymoon suite, and after a scuffle over the accommodation, no one is where they should be.

June’s presentation is a musical called “The Ark.” When Noah, his wife, three sons and their three wives arrive singing a welcome to the animals, the audience discovers they are the animals welcomed to the ark! As the storm strikes and the journey begins, a very human family story unfolds about a rigid father, self-absorbed husbands, neglected wives and rebellious sons. In July, NSTC will bring you the acclaimed “Altar Boyz,” a foot-stomping, rafter-raising musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy-band on the night of their national “Raise the Praise” tour. The Boyz are five allsinging, all-dancing heartthrobs: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. The musical summer season will close in August with “Ruthless” a musical spoof about an 8-year-old who knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking and will do anything to win the part in her school musical – including murdering the leading

lady.

The final NSTC 2011 production, in October, is called “See How They Run.” A galloping romp of confused identities, goings-on and trumped-up stories.

Season tickets are now available and can be purchased by calling the theater at 715-736-4444 or by stopping at the Rice Lake Chronotype front office during regular business hours. Season tickets and NSTC gift certificates are great holiday presents.

NSTC’s YouthStages lineup for 2011 is as follows:

KidsOnStage, for grades two through five, “Snow White,” in January; TweensOnStage, middle-school, “The Pink Panther” in March; and TeensOnStage, high school, “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” in April.

Audition info for aspiring actors will be available in the near future. Check the NSTC Web site at: www.northernstartheatre.org. Northern Star Theatre is located at 104 S. Main St. in Rice Lake. — from NSTC

MADISON — Gov. Jim Doyle has declared Nov. 8-12 as Wisconsin’s Winter Awareness Week. The annual campaign, sponsored by Wisconsin Emergency Management and NOAA’s National Weather Service, is to remind people to be prepared for winter conditions that could threaten their safety.

Winter storms are considered deceptive killers because most deaths are indirectly related to the storm. Examples of such deaths include traffic accidents on icy or snow-covered roads, prolonged exposure to the cold and indoor carbon monoxide poisoning.

It is important to start taking preventive measures for winter weather. Now is the perfect time to winterize your car and home, gather items for a disaster kit and make sure you have a NOAA Weather Radio or a commercial radio with fresh batteries. The Web site for ReadyWisconsin, a preparedness campaign provided by WEM, contains a number of valuable resources on win-

State Treasurer Sass makes it easier to claim your money

PAGE 10 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - NOVEMBER 3, 2010

MADISON – Treasurer Dawn Marie Sass is pleased to announce Wisconsin residents who find they may have unclaimed property held by the state can now claim it much more quickly in the wake of new changes made to the Web site monitored and improved under her watch.

“Rather than wait for claim forms to be

mailed out from our office, visitors to our Web site will be able to search their names, print a claim form, fill it out and mail it in,” Sass said. “This not only saves time, but saves money on mailing and paper costs. This is a major component of all the upgrades we are putting in place before the end of the year to make the office more efficient.”

Earlier this year, the state treasurer’s office implemented a “fast tracking” program that made it easier to claim $750 or less of forgotten money. By Dec. 31, the office hopes to become paperless, scanning claims into the computer system once they are received. This will also help speed up the claims process.

As of late last week, the office had

processed 29,710 claims – already breaking a record with a little more than two months left in the year. So far in 2010, the office has returned $24,416,023 to residents; that’s an average of nearly $2.5 million a month returned to Wisconsinites. In 2009, treasury staff returned $26,801,064. - submitted

from facial injuries and a nasal fracture, though she did not give a statement to law enforcement. The substantial battery charge came from this incident. The second incident occurred when Sikorski was out on bail in May 2009. According to the criminal complaint, Sikorski had been threatening patrons in a Spooner bar with a wooden bat and trying to run them over with his vehicle. One of the men he chased suffered a leg injury from being hit by Sikorski’s vehicle, according to reports. As Sikorski was prohibited from drinking or entering establishments selling alcohol as part of his bail conditions, he was charged with disorderly conduct and bail jumping.

In November 2009, Sikorski was sentenced to six months in the Washburn County Jail, with Huber, or work release, for disorderly conduct, and three years of probation for battery and bail jumping. He was ordered to have no contact with his victims, to undergo a psychological evaluation and counseling, and to abstain from alcohol and controlled substances. He was also told by the judge that he must tell any woman he meets in a social setting of his battery conviction, and the reasons behind it, and that he must notify the Department of Corrections agents of any woman he meets within 10 days, so confirmation of his disclosure can be made. He was also prohibited from dating any females unless a DOC agent was consulted.

Sikorski came before the judge again Thursday morning for a sentencing revocation on his bail. It was said in the court that Sikorski had been discovered visiting his girlfriend, drinking alcohol and possessing controlled substances.

District Attorney Mike Bitney recommended prison time for Sikorski, and said there is a need to protect the public from the defendant, as he has a violent past exacerbated by substance abuse.

“It’s obvious to me that Riley has no intention of following the rules,” he said.

There are three factors to consider in sentencing, Bitney said – seriousness of the crime, the need for protecting the public and the character of the defendant and his rehabilitation needs. Bitney mentioned that Sikorski had received the disorderly charge from trying to run people over and hit them with a bat.

“That’s very serious,” he said. “That’s what led to the bail jumping charges.”

Bitney said that keeping Sikorski in a county jail would not help him, as there are no rehabilitation programs sufficient for his needs there. He said the thing to do is send him to a correctional institution where he can receive the treatment he needs. Bitney requested four years’ imprisonment, two of which would be in prison and two of extended supervision, and to give Sikorski 59 days of credit for his past jail time.

Sikorski’s attorney, Michael Hoffman, agreed that his client had a violent past, and that it was clearly a substance abuse issue. He said the battery incident was fueled by alcohol, which came from a bar over-serving Sikorski. Hoffman said it appears Sikorski made efforts to undergo treatment, and that he exhibited no violent behavior in this revocation. He said the DOC recommended Sikorski be given nine to 12 months in jail.

Sikorski had a chance to speak to Judge Eugene Harrington.

“I messed up on my probation,” he said.

“I’m doing my treatment.”

He said that though his treatment has been on hold since he was put back in jail, he successfully completed psychotherapy and plans to get more therapy. He said he only drank alcohol one time while on probation.

“I’ve been trying to do better,” Sikorski said.

Harrington said the maximum penalty for bail jumping is six years – three of imprisonment and three on extended super-

vision, but because Sikorski is a repeat offender, one more year can be added onto this sentence.

Harrington went through the three factors for consideration. To the seriousness of the crime, he noted that Sikorski was not to drink alcohol, engage in illegal behavior or go to a bar, and he did, which culminated in the defendant getting drunk and into a fight, ending with Sikorski trying to run people over. Harrington went through a number of other charges Sikorski had faced, which were dismissed, which he said exacerbated Sikorski’s criminal background. He said records show Sikorski has sporadic work experience, does not listen to authority figures, has done numerous illegal drugs, chose not to perform well in school, and in one case threatened a teacher with a knife. He also said that Sikorski has lied to probation agents, and noted that though Sikorski said he had completed psychotherapy, there was no record in Harrington’s files, and the alleged letter of completion was at home, according to Sikorski. Harrington said that what he was told was that Sikorski did not complete the therapy, but that the service providers could no longer work with him.

“The history’s that this young man … has a serious problem with following the rules,” Harrington said.

This is an easy call, the judge said, that Sikorski needs to be institutionalized, as there will be programs in a prison system that are more appropriate for his needs, and the public must be protected. He said it is time Sikorski receives the services available for his problems, as he has not done well on probation.

As Sikorski’s three years of probation were for the battery charge, Harrington said he was considering the recommendation only for the disorderly and bail jumping convictions. Hoffman mentioned that Sikorski had already been sentenced for disorderly conduct, so Harrington amended the sentence to repeated bail jumping only.

He sentenced Sikorski to six years, three in a state prison and three of extended supervision. He is ineligible for earned release, cannot vote, is to abstain from drinking alcohol or any establishments that serve it for consumption on the premises, must have no contact with his girlfriend and comply with any other conditions the DOC may impose. The judge reminded Sikorski of the condition that he disclose his conviction to females, and the conditions that go with it.

Sikorski was given 59 days of credit for the jail time already served.

Seven WITC nursing students recently completed a six-week clinical rotation at Spooner Health System. “We like the caring, helpful staff and the wide variety of experiences at Spooner Health System,” said instructor Jean Kissack. “A majority of our time is spent working with inpatients on the second floor, but our students were also exposed to the family birth center, emergency department, operating room, mock disaster drill and flu shots during their recent clinical. These all contributed to a wonderful learning experience.”

“We enjoy having students do a clinical rotation at SHS,” says SHS director of patient care services Clint Miller. “It’s an opportunity for us to give back to our community and invest in our future.” Shown (L to R): Heidi Goehring, Jeanette Boissy, Rachel Keenan, instructor Jean Kissack, Amy Sturino, JoAnne Scribner and Megan Graf.

Shell Lake to face Gilman again

by Larry Samson LUCK — With a 50-0 win over McDonell Central on Tuesday, Oct. 26, and a 48-22 win over Luck on Saturday, Oct. 30, Shell Lake Lakers will square off with its longtime nemesis, the Gilman Pirates, in a Level 3 playoff game. This will be the fourth matchup for these two football schools in recent years. While Gilman has only a high school enrollment of 154 students they take their football seriously. Gilman has a 10-1 record, their only loss was 21-0 to Thorp, a Division 6 school. The game will be in Shell Lake, Saturday, Nov. 6, at 4 p.m.

It is a footrace to the end zone between Hunter Wilson of Luck and quarterback Tom Helstern. Wilson lost this race. This was one of three touchdowns Helstern ran in, and he had an 11-yard pass to Aaron Druschba for another. scrambled. His favorite receiver was 6’6” Cole Mortel who Shell Lake had to double cover. Shell Lake sacked Strilzuk five times and intercepted him twice. Luck cut the margin to two touchdowns in the third quarter by putting together two

Aaron Slinker makes a perfect open field tackle on Ben Kufalk.

Shell Lake played McDonell Central on a cold, wet and very windy Tuesday night. Quarterback Tom Helstern scored six of the seven Shell Lake touchdowns as the high winds made it difficult for both teams to throw the ball. Shell Lake had 36 points by halftime. The second half had a running clock. Austin Williams scored the last touchdown of the game on a 6-yard run and Sam Livingston had the two-point conversion.

Shell Lake and Luck met for the second time this year for the Level 2 game played at Luck. The Shell Lake fans turned out to watch their team take a comfortable 26-7 halftime lead. The Shell Lake defense held Luck to 72 yards rushing but Luck had 207 yards with their passing game that gave the Shell Lake defense fits as they tried to bring down quarterback Landon Strilzuk as he

Mitch Kraetke breaks through for a touchdown as Shell Lake beat Luck 48-22 in the second level of the playoffs. Kraetke accounted for two of Shell Lake’s seven touchdowns for the game.

Quarterback Landen Strilzuk was taken down by Mackenzie Curtis and Tom Helstern. Scrambling Strilzuk was dangerous as he scored once on the ground and twice passing for touchdowns.

Obituaries

Harvey Lee Gillette Jr.

When I first came to Georgia, I saw a man plowing a field with a mule. “May I try it?” I asked.

“Yes, sir,” he answered. “But be careful.”

When I was finished with the row I looked back.

I saw that mine was crooked but his was straight.

“What did I do wrong?” I asked.

“Your eyes wandered,” he said. “I fixed my eyes on a goal.”

As in cultivating, so in Christian living, the secret lies in looking straight ahead.

The wise man cautioned, “Look straight ahead; don’t even turn your head to look.”

And to whom should we look? The Living Bible answers, “Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor.”

Harvey Lee Gillette Jr., 89, of Crystal Township, died Oct. 27, 2010, at the Rice Lake Convalescent Center in Rice Lake.

Harvey was born Oct. 5, 1921, to Harvey and Mary (Sorenson) Gillette at their home in the town of Crystal. He lived at the family farm until his move to the convalescent center in December of 2009. Harvey ran a dairy and later beef farm with his brother, Jack. He served as Crystal Township chairman for many years. He was also on the Washburn County Board for many years with a special interest in the agricultural and forestry committees.

Harvey had a strong feeling of devotion for his township and the people living in that township. Harvey was preceded in death by his parents; brothers George,

Bert and Art; one niece and one nephew.

Wonderful noises of the past

by Art Swan, Shell Lake In my younger years, the sounds we heard were pleasant memories compared to all the noises of car and truck traffic of today.

One of the first I remember was in the early spring after the snow was gone and the creeks were running from the melted snow. We lived a half mile away and the frogs came to life. There is no music I have ever heard compared to the singing frogs and the bullfrog would add his bass note to make it complete. This went on for many days until the sun warmed things up.

Next the trains that went through Shell Lake, going south early in the morning to CTH J. I was told this was the highest point in Wisconsin. Don’t know if this was true. After an ice storm or the early morning frost, the steam engines would go with the loaded cars. We could hear them going six miles away and sometimes there was a noise like “whirl” and no noise from the train.

The ice on the track made it slippery so the engine would lose traction. They were a long time getting up that grade. Then to hear the steam whistle at every crossing was music to our ears. There were accidents on these crossings even if the train had this sharp whistle.

When the Namekagon passenger train went from the Twin Cities to Duluth, they had an excursion to Duluth, so my dad took my two sisters and me on it. It was my first train ride and we got to ride in a ship. Boy that was a thriller. It seems the waves were 5 feet high. There was a trip up the hill on a car like a streetcar, two of them on a cable; one would go up while the other came down. It was called an incline.

After I was older I remember farmers using dynamite to clear pine stumps and also big rocks. My uncle, Eric, was kept pretty busy as a dynamiter. Many times there was dynamiting close and sticks, mud and stones would land in our yard. We had a neighbor two miles away that was always clearing land and blasting. One time after using a team of horses and taking them to the water tank to drink, there was a bang like it was right next to us and the horses jumping and ran to the barn.

Another time, my onetime school buddies, living in Bayport, Minn., were going to open a gravel pit and blasted, it broke many windows in that city so they lost their business.

I remember the crickets chirping in the hot summer.

More music, but a lot of people disliked them, especially if they got into their house. I drove the bundle wagon at threshing time and when I was done unloading at the thresher the bottom of the rack would be black with crickets.

Remember the roosters crowing? That woke us every summer. They let you know it was daybreak.

Today, no more trains; frogs, as bald eagles have found they are easy prey; dynamite, as bulldozers have replaced that; not any chickens as we buy our eggs in the store; and crickets are gone but a few as hay is cut too many times for them to survive.

One time my neighbor half a mile away hired his nephew to help hay. When mowing hay with horses, we could hear him singing. He was enjoying himself. I often wondered what the neighbors thought when I mowed hay with the tractor. I enjoyed singing to the top of my voice. Maybe they couldn’t hear me above the noise of the tractor. When I drove truck, singing was my most enjoyment.

Bu we can’t help but think about the birds that sing all summer long. We have a bird that I have not been able to see. I think it is a grosbeak. It sings its heart out every evening. The loon also every so often keeps us guessing where he is. The red-winged blackbird is everywhere all summer long with its chirping.

Radios and TV have taken over, enjoyable, but commercials are disgusting. I just thank God for all the enjoyable noises I have heard.

We were all very busy this past week in Barronett.

Getting ready for Halloween is one of my personal favorite times of the year. This year was especially nice because we have new families with little children in town, so we were looking forward to seeing them in their costumes. And, another nice thing about this Halloween was that the weather was absolutely fantastic.

The little ones didn’t have to bundle up in bulky coats and hide their costumes.

The weather was also perfect for the Halloween party on Saturday at the community center. Cheryl Jaastad said that over 100 children attended the party, and that they were in all kinds of cute or scary costumes. There were 10 different activities for them. The civic club members did things a little differently this year. They gave out 20 free tickets to each child as they came into the center, and the children used the tickets to play the games. Cheryl said that it worked out so well that they plan to continue to use the tickets. There was also lots of food, munchies, and a cakewalk. There was so much going on, and the hosts were short a couple helpers, so a few of the parents volunteered to help out. The club members want to thank everyone who volunteered to help and made the party such a huge success.

Lynn Thon was visiting at our place this weekend, and she helped decorate for Halloween. Well, a little bit anyway. We had seven pumpkins, and each of us — Lynn, Duane and I — were supposed to carve at least two pumpkins. Well, I ended up carving five of them.

Now, does that seem fair to you? Miserable slugs. We set them out in front of the house, lighted the candles, and they looked beautiful. When the little trick-ortreaters came to the door, I had each of them — and their parents — vote on their favorite pumpkins. Well, if I combined all the votes for my five pumpkins I would have won by one vote. However, and I hate to admit this, Duane’s one pumpkin took the most votes for a single pumpkin. Lynn’s came in second, and my star pumpkin took third.

We had nine little ones here trick or treating — Alyssa and Maycee Vargo, Paul Dodge, Mirisa Green, Christina Zieroth, Aariana and Jon Carlson and Lucas and Logan Arnes. I think the oldest one was probably about 7 years old, and they were all adorable. Well, actually, I guess the oldest one was probably in his late 20s. Lucas and Logan’s dad, Rambo, got some candy, too, so he can qualify as a trick-or-treater. This year I remembered to have the camera sitting right on the windowsill, and got pictures of everyone. I love Halloween!

friend, Kathy, and Dan and Cheryl Jaastad were among the many who attended “Moonlight over Escanaba” at ETC in Cumberland this past week. Cheryl said it was very funny, that they laughed through most of it, and that they enjoyed it very much.

Terri Aarested, who is now managing CJ Banks in the Oakwood Mall in Eau Claire, mentioned that the friends and family event will be going on next weekend, Nov. 6 and 7. There is a sale going on, and some of our local friends will be helping Terri out that day. She said that she misses working in Rice Lake and seeing all her friends and neighbors at the store, and hopes that a lot of them will be in Eau Claire for the event. If you do run down there, be sure to stop by and say hello to Terri.

Members of the Barronett Civic Club will be hosting the annual hunters supper again this year — on Friday, Nov. 12, at the community center. They will be serving stew in a bread bowl — I can tell you, it is absolutely delicious — as well as some kid-friendly meals. There will be an indoor hunting contest, meat raffles and games in addition to the major raffle. The prizes this year are pretty amazing — first is a Mossberg 308 bolt combo with 3x9 scope; second is a Stevens 270 bolt combo with 3/9 scope; and third is a Cuddeback trail camera. If you bring a Toys for Tots donation, you will get a free beverage. So, come on over for the delicious food and stay for the fun. Hope to see you then.

Dick and Ruth Grover and Merl and Shirley Overvig had a great time earlier this month on a trip to Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina. They stopped at Chattanooga, Tenn., for a couple of days and toured Lookout Mountain and Ruby Falls. From there, they traveled down to Helen, Ga., to attend the October Fest.

Helen is a very small town, but during October Fest it is packed with wall-to-wall people and traffic. Shirley said that they lucked out and got a room in a beautiful hotel, right on the river, within walking distance to all the festivities. The nicest thing about the hotel, of course, was that they didn’t have to fight the traffic and look for parking places. You realize that, if it weren’t for beer and food, there really wouldn’t be any October Fests, right? Well, from what I understand, the highlight of Ruth’s trip was that she was carded before she could go in. I don’t want to even think about how long it’s been since anyone asked to see ID before I could go into a place. Shirley said that there is a little brewery in town, and they had wonderful beer. She brought some home for gifts. From Helen they drove down, through the Blue Ridge Mountains, to Asheville, N.C., where

Ma Nature turned wild last weekend and really blew, causing some power outages in our Sarona area. She got over her mad spell and the rest of the week it was sunny and nice.

There was a steady stream of folks at the visitation for Gordie Krantz Thursday night, Oct. 28, and a huge crowd at the funeral Friday morning at the Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake.

“Top Dollar Gordie” was a cattle jockey and knew lots of people in his 86 years. He had a tough row with health problems for the last few years and passed away at the Indianhead Medical Center in Shell Lake with his loving family by his side.

Gordie and Mary were the attendants at our wedding over 60 years ago. They have been very dear friends of ours in our lifetime. Sympathy is extended.

Elfreda and Debbie West attended their 5-year-old grand and great-granddaughter, Andie Thompson’s, preschool Halloween party Tuesday morning at Faith Lutheran in Spooner. Report it was real cute.

Julie West and kids, Riley, Kati and Mattie and Jake’s cousin, Janna Hammersburg and girls Joie and Halli enjoyed going trick-or-treating together in Spooner.

Reports that it was a beautiful wedding Saturday of Brian Zimmerman and Jesika Foster held at the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Spooner and reception followed at the Shell Lake Community Center. The maid of honor Alissa Foster and bridesmaids Angela Nelson, Renee Zimmerman, Rachel Kelly, Michelle Newhouse, and Rosy Bray wore gowns in horizon blue. The junior bridesmaid was Julie Bray and flower girl was Mersan Kelly. Brian’s best man was Luke Thompson, groomsmen were Andy Foster, Zack Myers, Lee Richter, Nathan Foster and Adam West. Junior groomsman was Ben Bray and ring bearer was Wyatt. The newlyweds will be making their home in Spooner. He is employed at Perlick Farms and Jesika is a nanny for Dr. Laura and Bruce Bray. Congratulations to the newlyweds. Tom Hrouda, Roseburg, Ore., and Jim Hrouda, Balta, N.D., came to attend the wedding. Sunday Marilyn Zimmerman had family at her home for the gift opening.

Joann Paulson and Gloria Frey spent the weekend in the Upper Peninsula. They saw a huge bear and lots of

eagles and had a nice time.

Andy Frey visited his grandparents Anton and Gloria Frey on Sunday evening.

Winter pool leagues have started for the winter. A girls in-house league started last week at Teddy Bear Tap. Christmas 4 Kids presents miniature dollhouses at a show on Saturday, Nov. 6, and Sunday, Nov. 7, at the Veterans Center in Hayward. The artist is my sister, Nell Lee, who has spent hours creating furnishings for each dollhouse. Come and see them, maybe it will spark an interest in a new hobby for you.

The Sarona Methodist Church is planning their annual Meal-in-a-Peel and holiday bazaar for Saturday, Nov. 13. Look for their ad in next week’s Register.

Corey and Linda Furchtenicht were at her folks, Randy and Corine Slabaugh’s, to visit with relatives visiting from Indiana. Corissa and Curtis, Independence, drove up for the day also.

I joined Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht for Halloween supper with their family on Sunday night. Her folks, Ralph and Arlene VanMeter and sister Sue Weathers and husband were also there.

I met my sisters, Nell Lee, Stanberry, and Sharon Wilber, Webster, at the graveside service for Marian Ingbretson at Anah Friday afternoon. That was very nice.

Her neighbors, the Gingerich family sang so beautiful and neighbor Arnie Hoecherl officiated as that was her wish. Deep sympathy to the family. My sisters and I spent the rest of the afternoon with our dear friend, Avis Thorp, of Stone Lake.

Saturday I attended the 80th birthday party held at Schricker Manor family room for Elaine Krantz. Many more are wished for you Elaine. It was hosted by her children.

I visited Evie Campbell and we listened to Randy McKibben announcing the Shell Lake-Luck football game. Congrats to our boys on another win. Good luck with Gilman on Saturday.

Then I was on to the next party, the 50th anniversary party for Bob and Theresa Anderson held at Taste Budz and enjoyed a dinner and many more folks to visit with.

Congratulations to the Andersons.

Shirley’s son, Ben, is stationed. Merl, Dick and Ruth did some sightseeing on their own, while Ben and Shirley spent time together. He took her on a walking tour of Asheville. Shirley said she was so happy to see him and to spend some time with him and that they had a wonderful time. On the way home the travelers ran into that terrible windstorm in Tennessee. Shirley said it was a little scary, but they made it home, safe and sound, and were happy to be back.

Mel and Geri Pittman also took a trip earlier this month. They went to Missouri to visit with grandkids, great-grandkids, aunts and cousins. They visited in Fredericktown and Houston, Mo. They got a little lost in St. Louis, Mo., (who hasn’t) had a wonderful time with all the relatives, but, of course, they are happy to be home again.

Our sympathy goes out to the family of Dolory Arnes Strubb who passed away last week. Dolory grew up in this area and moved to California when she and Al married. She and Al had traveled to Barronett in July to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. Jane Elmberg and Cheryl Jaastad said that the best way to describe Dolory was as their whirlwind. She taught kindergarten for many years, was a painter, singer and traveler. Dolory’s saying for every day of her life was, “Praise the Lord for today.” She was a wonderful, dynamic woman, and she will be missed by everyone who knew her.

Our sympathy also goes out to the family of Jen (Lindemann) Schneider, who passed away last Thursday.

Jen was raised in Barronett, and moved to Cumberland when she married Earl. Jen and Earl ran Schneider’s Drug Store in Cumberland for many years until they decided it was time to retire and let their son, Steve, run the family business. Jen was a wonderful, friendly woman, and she will be missed by all.

The women of Barronett Lutheran will be meeting at the church this Thursday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m. There are lots of things to be discussed, including the Scandinavian dinner which is coming up soon, so please plan to attend.

Next Sunday, one of our Sunday school students, Holly Hendrick, will be telling the congregation a little about herself. We are looking forward to that. After the service there will be a church council meeting.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you had lots of fun on Halloween. See you next time.

Thursday noon the Shell Lake Public Library staff, Beth, Rita, Karen, Alayne and Paige, treated Virginia Stodola to lunch at Peggy’s for her belated 90th birthday.

Congratulations to newlyweds, the new Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Engan, who married on Oct. 10 in Las Vegas, Nev. Chris and Leah are making their home in Eau Claire. His folks, Wayne and Mary, had flown out for the wedding and attended a reception that was held later in Eau Claire.

Happy birthday to Debbie Benjamin and Bev Root, Nov. 4; Everett Rounce and Jesse Gronning, Nov. 5; Jim Morevec, Dusty Marker, Daryl Andrews and Craig Pearson, Nov. 6; Andy Kubista and Michael Irvine, Nov. 8; Cathy Roe, Nov. 9; Joann Anderson, Jerry Bender, Michael Esser and Les Riley, Nov. 10.

A happy anniversary is wished to Wayne and Mari Bergman, Nov. 5; John and Lynda Sauer and Norm and Donna Pokorny, Nov. 7.

Dewey Country by Pauline Lawrence

What a beautiful sunshine-filled day we had here in Dewey Country on Oct. 31, the last day of October 2010.

And yes, it was Halloween and those little ghosts and goblins were out and about. Hopefully the wee ones had a mom and dad with them to enjoy the holiday.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Glen Knoop on his special day, Nov. 4. Have a great day, Glen.

Happy birthday to Carter Melton and to Dustin Lee on their special day, Nov. 5. Have a wonderful day.

The Dewey Township annual budget meeting will be held Nov. 9, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. The monthly board meeting will follow. Everyone welcome.

Saturday I was outside with our pup, Rory, and I heard this strange noise and it kept getting closer and louder. It sounded like a waterfall but the noise it made was unbelievable. Want to know what that noise was?

Well, it was two very huge flocks of blackbirds, probably 1,500 altogether and they were sure a boogying it south.

Saturday I found a brave little one. Yes, a very pretty yellow dandelion was on our lawn. It must have gotten up late to miss the spring and summer.

Remember this Saturday night or Sunday morning, Nov. 6 or 7, to turn your clocks back an hour. That sounds wonderful to get an extra hour of sleep doesn’t it?

Please keep Claude McCarthy in your special thoughts and prayers as Claude is seriously ill at this time. He has been a resident of Dewey Country for many years.

Those little squirrels we have around our farm are making trips across our yard very quietly and going somewhere and getting cob corn. They go east and come back west with big cobs for their winter stash like we people who can and freeze foods for the upcoming winter.

Nate Petersen is home for a few days after traveling to a number of states combining thousands of acres of wheat, corn, soybeans and other. He said they went 24-

Heart Lake

by Helen Pederson

It was a hard frost on Oct. 31. Halloween has come and gone and it was a nice evening and afternoon.

Some of the youngsters were scantily clad but they didn’t seem to mind. It was a fun day and good to see families come in. See you all next year.

We send our sincere sympathy to the family of Gordon Krantz, 86, who passed away last Monday, Oct. 25.

Gordon was well-known over this area as he was a cattle dealer. He will be missed.

Erica Krantz, daughter of Greg and Sue Krantz, was here from Texas as was her brother, Matt, and wife Christi of Eau Claire. Vicki Zarada has spent the last two weeks with her mom and dad and will remain here with her mom before returning to Henderson, Nev. Calvin Krantz and his son of Eau Claire came for the funeral. It was good to visit with him. I went to high school with them and we also were in 4-H together. The Krantz farm was on CTH J where Greg and Chris Christianson now live.

Visitation for Gordon was Thursday night with a big crowd attending.

Nick Pederson of Milwaukee, Brent of River Falls, and Aaron of Menomonie, along with brother Jerid and Rachel Pederson and children Elizabeth, Daniel, and Joshua were up for Grandpa Gordy’s funeral.

Sue and Larry Winner came to take me to the funeral and Lori Cray took me to the visitation. Greta Bachinski and fiancé Logan came up from Eau Claire for the visitation. Jeff is Greta’s uncle.

Congratulations again to Shell Lake football team who are still on the winning team. They will meet

7 with those combines as the crops were so nice and dry.

So now that job is done until spring. Nate has another job in mind and will probably be leaving us before the end of this week. It’s great to see Nate and he’s certainly doing well with his work. He says he loves to drive those huge combines and gets to see other states as the crew travels to a number of them from Kansas to Nebraska to the Dakotas and more. He has grown up to be a very fine young man and I’m proud of Nate as my family is.

I think most of the corn and soybeans are now done here in Dewey Country. Son Richy has some to do but for the most part farmers are done and saying amen to a very successful crop year.

Saturday Jerry and Gretchen Best attended a wedding reception for Gretchen’s cousin’s daughter. Congratulations to Crystal Bradwell and Joshua Bell who were married Aug. 20 in Alaska and now came down to the states for a wedding reception held in Siren at the Lakeview Event Center. About 400 people attended this special event wishing the newlyweds many happy years together.

Spending the weekend with Cecil and Evelyn Melton was their daughter, Robin from Fridley, Minn. Robin brought along two of her young lady friends to spend the weekend also. Vicki and Don Trott were at Cecil and Evelyn’s Sunday enjoying playing cards. Get-well wishes go out to Cecil Melton as he has this terrible cold that has hung on for at least three weeks. Hope you feel better soon. Cecil.

Since my Sunshine has been home I have had to count calories and fats for his diet. It’s hard at times estimating how many calories for some things. Counting fat is a new thing for me. He needs fat to gain weight along with calories. At this time he is doing very well, eating meats that he hasn’t liked since he had the esophagus surgery almost four years ago. But he’s cooperating with me and eating meats now thank goodness! I never knew what a change takes place when you have cancer and chemo and radiation. His taste buds change by the hour or less. One day he loves a food and the next day he doesn’t like it.

Table Talk: What is the safest place in the world? Dig a hole and bury yourself underground maybe?

Talking with my favorite sister, Marie Quam, we find her three sons, Jim, Mike, and Gene are now done with corn combining. Now they’re doing a little catch-up work on their farm getting ready for the winter ahead.

We find Sam Mechtel is into a big money-maker business. Yes, Sam has gotten cows and is milking once again. Not much money in dairying but hey it keeps a person busy and happy.

A week ago last Thursday found Loretta VanSelus and her son, Matthew Stone, and his friend heading for Montana. While there they stayed with John and Paula Powell, Loretta’s daughter and son-in-law. Loretta got to see lots of relatives including two great-granddaughters. Matt and friend enjoyed hunting mule deer with both getting one. They came home this last Thursday.

Loretta and Butch went to Luck to watch the Shell Lake Lakers beat Luck. This is the second playoff as Shell Lake players haven’t lost a game yet. This Saturday

Gilman this week at Shell Lake.

Saturday Gloria Grove and Sonja Hartley of the Twin Cities came up to see Helen and Arvid Pederson and show them pictures of their two new great-grandchildren; children of Sonja’s daughters Heather and Lisa, a boy and a girl. Congratulations to all of you! Sonja and Gloria stopped in to see Aunt Helen V. Pederson, too.

Gloria’s son Michael was married this fall.

Jude and Myron Bolterman took two weeks off to visit their children. They spent three days with Amy in Minot, N.D., after attending the wedding of Kayla Kemp and Dan Smith on Saturday at St. Joseph’s church. They continued on their trip to Fort Collins, Colo., to visit Michael who works there. Myron and Mike went elk hunting but ran into a blizzard so poor hunting.

Mary and John Marschall were at the visitation for Gordie Krantz on Thursday night and at the game at Luck where Shell Lake beat Luck 44-22. Their son, Brady, was home from Iowa for the weekend. The family all went coon hunting on Saturday night.

I hear there was a big bear at the Livingston home on Saturday feeding off the bird feeder. It should be time for them to go into hibernation.

Mavis and Roger Flach took granddaughter Hailey to the game on Saturday. Saturday night they attended the annual Halloween party at their son Steve and Jody’s.

One reason a dog is such a lovable creature is that his tail wags instead of his tongue.

Have a good week and keep warm!

they will be playing in Shell Lake. Way to go Lakers!

News from the Fjelstad Palace finds Kris visiting Doty Strand on Monday and later she took in her Lifestyles meeting. Wednesday, Kris, Beth Crosby and Dixie Andrea enjoyed supper at the Pour House in Siren. Later the gals visited Greg and Judy Leonard. Friday, Gary and Sue Peterson and Chad Hansen visited Kris and Bob. They all enjoyed a bonfire while visiting.

Sunday Kris visited Greg and Judy Leonard.

Taking our little dog, Rory, outside, which he loves, our Happy Tom cat and he have a great time. Walking behind the silos I found Rory headed for the house as fast as he could go. But I discovered why he was running so fast. Happy Tom was racing him and ya know that cat is smart. If the pup gets ahead of him, he makes a leaping bound right on the pup and holds him down and then the cat takes off towards the house winning the race. Rory has a problem as he loves to pick on the cat. They wrestle and play and don’t hurt each other with their playing. It’s really cute to watch those two.

Scatter sunshine.

Have a great week!

PAGE 24 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - NOVEMBER 3, 2010

by Diane Dryden JERUSALEM – In last week’s Register, there was an article about a footballfield-length diorama being painted in Israel by Spooner woman Patricia Solveson. Not only did an article run in this local paper, a similar article ran in an Israeli paper about the cemetery and the fact the cemetery belonged to the Alliance Church in Jerusalem. The cemetery is increasing in popularity and has seen a huge influx of visitors because of the spectacular mural, which is only partially finished.

Shortly after the article appeared in Israel there was an explosion at the Jerusalem Alliance Church Ministry Center and the following press release was submitted by the Alliance Center.

Press Release No. 1, Nov. 1 “On Friday morning at 1:00 AM we reported a fire to the Jerusalem police and fire department, which erupted in our church property on Prophets Street 55 in the center of Jerusalem. The church property is known as the Jerusalem Alliance Church Ministry Center (JACMC).

Ten persons were sleeping in the church overnight facilities in the building at the time. Nine persons visiting the Holy Land together as a group were from one of our churches in the USA. One person was from a church in Denmark. Members of this group alerted me to the emergency, and neighbors living next to our church alerted emergency agencies in Jerusalem to come to the scene of the fire.

Within 20 minutes emergency and ambulance personnel arrived to fight the fire and evacuate any persons that may have been remaining in our church building.

“The main location of the fire was discovered to be in 2 lower basement rooms, which we had named Room Number Six and Seven. By 1:20 AM the fire crews with hoses had located this fire and I saw 2 sofas outside the building (and positioned 1.5 meters outside these rooms) being heavily consumed in flames. The flames in Room Number 6 were extinguished, smoke was cleared from Room Number 7, and the remainder of the church building was checked and emergency rescue teams and equipment were removed and departed.

“All 10 persons had evacuated themselves earlier without serious injury.

When the church building had filled with smoke, most of these persons had been awakened from their sleep by the smell of the smoke and quickly went to alert others. After arriving outside, most of them went to the Bikur Cholim Hospital Clinic (located adjacent to our

Disturbing times in Israel

Being anxious to draw the final picture in this football-field-length diorama, Patricia Solveson has already drawn the Glorified Christ and will fill in the rest of the Bible account during the three or four times she plans to return to Jerusalem to paint. church building on Prophets Street) for medical check-ups and treatment. After receiving timely medical care, especially for smoke inhalation, they were released at 5:00 AM in reasonably good health.

Some were still in minor shock and discomfort.

“The police gave us no clue of who would be the persons behind the fire!

The church is located near a very religious Jewish neighborhood.

“But the Police did confirm for us today that it was arson.

“This church building was erected by Christian and Missionary Alliance church since the start of the 20th century, was completed in 1914, mainly used for the service of believers who come from different backgrounds. Palestine Bible College was established there, an Arab congregation was established there and it continues to exist till our day and time.

“After the 1948 was access to Arabs at that section of the city was limited, that why they had to allocate in the Old City of Jerusalem in the Christian Quarter, Al Rusul Street.

“Since 1967 the building served for many purposes besides being a sanctuary for worship. Hosted several international and local congregations, was used as a pilgrims house for so many years and since the beginning of the second Intifada was used by both the Israel College of the Bible and the Alliance

Leadership Training Institute as a training center for leaders among the congregations in the Holy Land.

“Ultimately we always desired our building to be a beacon of light reflecting God’s love to all people. Situated in a city that it’s enough divided by hate we seek to be an agent of reconciliation and peace to all parties.

“We will continue to serve the Holy Land residents from this place, proclaiming peace and justice for all human beings, declaring God’s love for all of our neighbors, friends and enemies.”

Solveson is continuing to paint during this troubled time and will be adding the picture story of both Ishmael and Isaac,

In less than a week after an article about the Alliance Cemetery Wall was printed in the local Israeli paper, there was serious damage done to the Alliance Ministry building that resides next to the most religious section of the entire city. then on to Jacob and Joseph and Moses parting the sea. This the artist’s third trip and three or four more are planned in order to finish the mural which is already garnering much attention, good and bad.

The patrons of Peggy’s Place in Shell Lake got a rare experience on Sunday, Oct. 30. Losing a bet to Renee Klobertanz over the Packer versus Viking game, Peggy Crawford had to spend the day wearing a Packer jersey and a smile.

She reported that she got a rash after wearing the jersey. — Photo by Larry Samson
