STATEWIDE – As Wisconsin’s deer gun season winds down, hunters are reminded to use caution. Three hunting-related fatalities were reported over opening weekend. Authorities say 51-year-old Shawn Lemanski, of Green Bay, died from injuries suffered when he fell from a tree stand in the Marathon County town of Cassel. Also, 51-year-old Steven Jackson, of Antigo, died after he was found unresponsive in the woods near Gleason in Lincoln County. WIZM radio reported a 22-year-old Milwaukee man died while hunting on the grounds of Fort McCoy. Authorities say Thomas Stamborski suffered a gunshot wound on land approved for hunting. All deaths occurred Saturday, Nov. 17, the opening day of the nine-day season. - with information from the Internet

Teachers spearhead new program Shell Lake leads way in DPI project implementation

by Jessica Beecroft Register staff writer SHELL LAKE – On Monday, Nov. 19, the Shell Lake Board of Education heard more information on how the Shell Lake School District staff is implementing model intervention for the Department of Public Instruction.

According to Don Peterson, 7-12 principal, performance indicators are used for evaluation of the teachers, and the goal is to get all teachers to be effective educators. Not only are the teachers

seeking out students to give extra help to, they are also meeting state-driven initiatives and becoming a model school in the implementation.

Students are given tests and sought out by teachers to make sure they are catching onto the ideas they are learning before they fall behind any farther. This extra care is what is getting the district several calls from other schools questioning how they schedule and are able to provide this service to the students.

The instructional planning is critical in the process. The main subjects the district is focusing on are math and English language arts.

With these programs still being new, the staff is hopeful that they will be a great success and be reflected in future test scores.

SHELL LAKE — Christmas Celebration in Lights Winter Wonderland comes alive in its array of cheerful lights for the season on Thursday, Nov. 29. Several businesses and organizations have been busy setting up displays in the Shell Lake Municipal Campground. The 5:30 p.m., Winter Wonderland Community Walk will celebrate the beauty of the holiday lights, which is sponsored by the Shell Lake Lions Club. With weather permitting, walkers will make their way through the park and down Burgs Park Drive, returning to warm food and a hot fire. The community walk is sponsored by the Carol White Physical Education Program Grant and the Shell Lake School District to promote healthy families

and an active Shell Lake.

The kickoff to the holiday shopping season for the city is set for Saturday, Dec. 1, when the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce hosts Holiday Saturday.

The day begins with Santa’s breakfast from 8-11 a.m. at the community center. A hot breakfast of pancakes and sausage will be served. Santa has set aside some time to be photographed with those wishing to visit with him. Children will be able to participate in a make-it and take-it craft project. Those attending are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item for the Washburn County Food Pantry.

The fall and winter fashion show

by Diane Dryden SPOONER — It might have been the first day for deer hunting Saturday, Nov. 17. To a packed crowd of women at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner, it was a day to munch on cookies while the Partners of the Spooner Health System and the Alzheimer’s Day Respite group, along with the Indianhead Community Action Agency’s thrift store pulled together a Thrifty Fall and Winter Fashion Show. Over 30 models from age 10 to grandmas participated.

The clothes modeled ranged from an outfit that was leather from top to toe followed by fashions from Hush Puppies, Woolrich, Duck Head, Gap, Worthington, Sag Harbor and others. Each of the models picked their outfits and shoes, jewelry and purses from Connections.

Everything modeled the day of the show, plus many outfits that were displayed around the room, were all available for sale after the show.

Dawn Wagner spoke briefly telling her audience that the ICAA has been in Washburn County for over 40 years. The thrift store is going on its fourth year. She also mentioned that their food pantry services 400 families per month, which comes to serving over 1,000 people.

Items for sale in the store start at 50¢ and go up to $5.

There is always a full complement of furniture, which is also marked reasonably.

She also shared that Black Friday, Nov. 23, Connections will be open from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m., featuring a $3 bag sale on clothes and shoes. In December, the entire first week of the month will also be a bag sale with clothes and shoes for $5 a bag. “The money the store raises goes to support the thrift store as well as the food pantry.” She said that this year’s farm project enabled them to harvest over 4,000 pounds of fresh food that was distributed through the pantry.

“We currently have an education grant,” she said, “that is for those who wish to go back to school that meet our financial guidelines. There is also money available to help with rent, utilities, auto and medical expenses.”

For more information on any of the ICAA’s programs, contact Wagner at 715-635-3975.

The Partners of the Spooner Health System earn money through their book and bake sales and a gift kiosk in the hospital lobby. Their money goes not only to the food pantries and the respite day care, but also to three scholarships yearly for those going into the medical profession.

Kara Romportl came all dolled up, white gloves and all, for a delightful afternoon at the Thrifty Fall and Winter Fashion Show Saturday, Nov. 17.

WITC Fire Training

Members of the Chicog Fire Department got up close to finish off the fire at the end of the training exercise.

The Blitz Gun is capable of putting out 300 gallons of water per minute. It can be freestanding so once it is set up firefighters can retreat to a safer distance. The Blitz Gun was effectively used in the ICO fire in Trego this past summer.

The Blitz Gun has the range to reach a fire at a safer distance.

Members of the Spooner Area Fire Department practiced fire training in the below-freezing temperatures on Monday, Nov. 12.

Firefighters from various departments were training under the WITC Fire and Rescue Training program.

Redistricting credited for GOP’s success in congressional and legislative races

by Bill Lueders and Kate Golden Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism STATEWIDE - In the aftermath of the Nov. 6 elections, words like “fickle” and “schizophrenic” are being bandied about to describe the Wisconsin electorate.

How else can anyone explain a group of voters who simultaneously picked Democrats Barack Obama for president and Tammy Baldwin for U.S. Senate while preserving a 5-3 Republican edge in its congressional delegation and giving the GOP a commanding majority in both houses of the state Legislature?

But the vote tallies in Wisconsin’s congressional and state legislative races were not nearly as lopsided as the parties resulting share of seats, according to a Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism analysis. The breakdown between Republican and Democratic votes was close even in the races for Congress and state Legislature, where the GOP scored substantial wins.

Some election observers say these results, which ensure that Republican Gov. Scott Walker will have strong GOP majorities heading into the next legislative session, are due largely to redistricting — the redrawing of voting district boundaries based on the U.S. Census.

“The outcome of this year’s U.S. House as well as state Senate and state Assembly elections testify to the power of redistricting,” said Mike McCabe, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a nonpartisan clean-government advocacy group.

For instance, Republicans received 49 percent of the 2.9 million votes cast in Wisconsin’s congressional races, but won five out of eight, or 62.5 percent, of the seats, according to the center’s analysis. The center analyzed unofficial 2012 results reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and official 2010 results from the state Government Accountability Board.

The vote breakdown in the state’s congressional races was comparable to that for president and U.S. Senate, where the Democratic standard-bearers won 53 percent and 51 percent, respectively.

Wisconsin’s experience is not unique.

Geoffrey Stone, a law professor at the University of Chicago, recently wrote in a Huffington Post blog that Republicans won 55 percent of all House seats nationally while capturing less than half of the total vote. Stone said the GOP “won control of a substantial majority of state governments” in 2010, then “used that power to redraw congressional district lines in such a way as to maximize the Republican outcome in the 2012 House election.”

In Wisconsin, redistricting based on the 2010 census was done largely in secret by the Republicans who controlled the state Legislature. Democrats accused the GOP of using this opportunity to cement its elec-

toral advantage, which in itself is not illegal.

In March, a panel of three federal judges upheld most of the state’s redistricting process, including the congressional component. The panel did strike down the redrawing of two Assembly districts, saying it diluted the power of Hispanic voters.

“There is no question, none, that the recent redistricting effort distorted the vote,” said Ken Mayer, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Nobody takes seriously the notion that the legislative plan for congressional districts wasn’t politically motivated.”

McCabe said the lines were “drawn in a way that squeezes most Democratic voters into a few districts and widely disperses their voting power across the rest of the districts.” That left GOP candidates “with a pronounced electoral advantage in congressional and legislative races.”

But Rep. Robin Vos, R-Burlington, the new Assembly speaker, didn’t agree that redistricting played a significant role in his party’s fortunes. He said there have always been districts that due to high turnout and other factors lean to one side and that the GOP simply did a better job of getting out the vote.

“Every district is on its own,” Vos said.

“There are competitive seats in every part of the state. And I think that at the end of the day, voters made a choice to pick the best individual candidate.”

In the 2010 contested Assembly races, the GOP got a slightly larger proportion of seats than votes. In 2012, that pattern was even more pronounced.

This year, Republicans won 56 of the 76 contested Assembly seats in the Nov. 6 election. That’s 74 percent of the seats, which they won with just 52 percent of the 2.2 million votes.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin furnished the center with data showing that if uncontested races were included in the analysis, Democrats actually received 200,000 more Assembly votes than Republicans. Most uncontested races were in Democratic districts.

The GOP’s new 60-39 majority in the Assembly is nearly the same as it was heading into the election: 59-39, with one independent.

In the state Senate, Republicans won six of 11 contested races, including two seats that had been held by Democrats. The Republicans now have a 17-15 advantage in the state Senate, which will likely increase to 18-15 after a December special election in an overwhelmingly Republican district.

But the Democrats actually outpolled the GOP in these contested state Senate elections, winning 50.5 percent of the 941,000 votes cast.

Cal Potter, a former Democratic state lawmaker who now serves on the board of Common Cause in Wisconsin, a nonpartisan watchdog group, noted that the redistricting after the 1990 and 2000 Census was done by the courts, because the Legislature and governor were split and could not agree on a plan. This time around, he said, the GOP ran the show and was able to maximize its electoral advantages.

The rich are paying more in taxes

President Obama says he will not let the elderly and middle class suffer while the wealthy, those making over $250,000 a year, pay not one penny more to help.

He insists that conservatives must compromise their principles so that the rich can be taxed more. Has the educational system betrayed our public so severely that people will fall for this?

The Constitution specifically states that Americans are to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Thomas Jefferson explained that the right to own one’s intellectual and personal property was essential to assuring liberty and happiness.

Originally, our founders wanted an inexpensive government that was supported by consumption taxes on property sold at auction, corporate bonds and nonessential items like distilled spirits and tobacco.

In 1862, Congress enacted the first income tax to support the Civil War. That tax was eliminated in 1872. In 1913, the 16th Amendment made income taxes permanent, supporting never-ending American involvement

in wars and a burgeoning government with employees often making more in salary and benefits than do the citizens holding similar public sector jobs.

Basic math skills prove that the wealthy already pay much more tax than others pay. Even under a flat tax of 10 percent, a person earning $50,000 would pay $5,000 in taxes, and a person earning $200,000 would pay $20,000 in taxes. The rich are paying a lot more than others pay.

How does one compromise a belief that no one has the right to take from another? Or on the promise to protect and defend the Constitution? Once it is OK for the government to take from one and give to another or to limit property rights, we have lost our republic and the freedoms it grants.

Conservatives should not compromise. The government needs to cut spending.

This is in response to Richard Bollom and the opinion he wrote, Two men claiming to be Christians, but don’t qualify. Politics aside, I disagreed with him on his view of Mormons and wanted to clarify a few things to him and any readers who may get the wrong impression on my faith.

Critics are fond of playing the cult card to justify making disparaging remarks about Mormons, but claims that they are not Christians completely baffle members.

The church’s official name is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Members are known officially as Latter-day Saints, which means a disciple of Jesus Christ in the last days; Mormon is just a nickname. Members worship Christ and believe in the Bible.

Are there doctrinal differences between them and other Christian churches? Of course there are, but all Christian churches have differences, otherwise why would there be 41,000 different Christian denominations in the world today, according to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary? There is no Mormon Jesus, but members worship the same Christ found in the Bible as other Christians do. Latter-day Saints do not believe in a different Gospel contrary to the one taught in the Bible as Bollom has said, but to the contrary, believe in the same

Gospel as taught by Christ in the Bible, which includes baptism for the remission of sins and keeping his Commandments.

Critics will say that there can be no Book of Mormon because there can be no additional Scriptures beyond the Bible, and they will quote Revelation 22:18-19 as proof, but Latter-day Saints believe that John the Revelator was speaking of his own revelations when he was writing on the Isle of Patmos, not the Bible. It is not as if John was walking around carrying a Bible around and then just slid his pages in at the end. The Bible as we know it today would not be compiled in its current form until centuries later, but since his words are now found at the end, people assume it refers to the entire Bible and ignore its chronology like the fact that the Gospel of John was actually written after Revelations for example.

In reference to your Nov. 14 Washburn County Register article, Use of K2 and bath salts on the rise, a point of clarification is in order. DOJ agent Brad Dunlap made the statement, “Dumpster diving at nursing homes comes to mind for procuring illegal drugs. These dumpsters are especially vulnerable with their used pain patches … after they are used and discarded in the trash, they are stolen from the dumpsters and microwaved to get the fentanyl out. “ This statement presents a false image of nursing homes and needs to be clarified. As a Medicare five-star home, we pride ourselves in maintaining high standards and regulatory compliance. Where he noted this to be occurring it would have been a violation of the disposal of narcotics law, and I hope that he immediately addressed this violation of law.

Rather, what happens at our nursing home is the patch is dated and administered to the resident. At the time when the patch is to be disposed of, the patch is cut up into small pieces mixed with a clay substance in the presence of two licensed nurses. The hazardous waste is kept in a secure area within the facility until ultimately disposed of through our contracted hazardous waste disposal company. Never is this material unaccounted for nor disposed of in a dumpster.

Nursing homes are very highly regulated by state and federal agencies. We take our responsibility for the safety of our community very serious and would never allow the dumping of narcotic medications into dumpsters.

Thanksgiving greeting

his year the month of November has five Thursdays. This could be confusing for some if they plan for Thanksgiving to be the last Thursday in November. In 1863, United States President Abraham Lincoln made a proclamation that declared that the last Thursday of November should be celebrated as a day of thanksgiving. Other U.S. presidents followed his lead, and this began the annual practice of proclamations calling on the people of the United States to celebrate Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November. In 1941, the United States Congress declared that in the years thereafter, the national legal holiday of Thanksgiving Day would be on November’s fourth Thursday.

This year, families across the United States will be gathering to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday together on Thursday, Nov. 22.

On Nov. 22, 1963, our 35th president, John F. Kennedy, 46, was

assassinated. Thanksgiving was celebrated on Nov. 28 that year. For this Thanksgiving season, I am sharing a quote JFK had written for a Thanksgiving greeting.

“Let us therefore proclaim our great providence for manifold blessings — let us be humbly thankful for inherited ideals — and let us resolve to share those blessings and those ideals with our fellow human beings throughout the world.

“On that day, let us gather in sanctuaries dedicated to worship and in homes blessed by family affection to express our gratitude for the glorious gifts of God; and let us earnestly and humbly pray that he will continue to guide and sustain us in the great unfinished tasks of achieving peace, justice and understanding among all men and nations and of ending misery and suffering wherever they exist.” ~ John F. Kennedy

Thursday is the new Friday

I

have a professor who makes up assignments a week before, then tweaks them twice, and finally extends the deadline for the class. Sometimes this works in our favor, and she’ll decide to cancel an assignment altogether. Our syllabus is constantly updated and changes numerous times. I am serious when I say I have the most updated syllabus from her that is titled, “The revised revised new updated syllabus.” I have class with her on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and every Thursday she tells us, “Have a good weekend. I mean it’s basically the weekend already.

Besides isn’t Thursday the new Friday for you kids now?”

This Friday is Black Friday – the ironic day of greed immediately after the day we were supposed to be thankful for what we have. But with all of America hungry for Black Friday sales and big deals, stores like Wal-Mart and Target are opening on Thursday practically right after you just finished wolfing down that second helping of mashed potatoes and gravy. Thursday is the new Friday.

I haven’t gone Black Friday shopping yet – I don’t see much personal appeal in it, but I know some people who thrive on staying up late and going to their favorite stores and shops and coming back with some brand-new toys. I don’t deny that Black Friday could be made into a fun outing with friends or family, but when Black Friday goes awry, things get frightening.

In 2011 on Black Friday, an estimated $52 billion was spent by Americans. According to Worldhunger.org, that amount of money is enough to feed all the hungry children in the world for two years. There were about 226 million people that went shopping

last year – and only 122 million voted in the 2008 presidential election. And if those numbers aren’t staggering enough, there are always the shoppers themselves to talk about.

Last year there was a woman in Los Angeles who tried a new shopping tactic to get to the items she wanted at WalMart; pepper spray. The woman sprayed an entire crowd of shoppers waiting in line, and 20 people suffered minor injuries. Another woman waiting in line at Toys “R” Us threatened to shoot people if they cut in line. In 2008 in Long Island, a pregnant woman who was knocked over and trampled on ended up later having a miscarriage.

According to the New York Daily News, in 2009 an elderly man bought a TV and was trying to put the TV in the trunk of his car when robbers shot him dead to steal the TV. Sickly enough, the TV did not fit in their getaway car, so they left it on the street – killing for nothing.

One of the more tragic events happened when a 34-year-old Wal-Mart employee actually got killed by being trampled on by a stampede of eager shoppers.

Greed comes at a price; not a Black Friday rock-bottom price – rather a very high price. There is something wrong with American society when we can spend enough money in one day to feed the entire world, especially when just hours before we were sitting around with our family saying what we were grateful for. So if you are one of the millions that go out to shop, examine the motives behind your massive shopping spree. Thursday may be the new Friday this year for some stores, but don’t let the prices go to your head – don’t become a Black Fridzilla.

The math prep course will be offered on Dec. 6. Math ReFresh courses cover basic math principles such as working with fractions, absolute values, order of operations, and square roots, algebra concepts and geometric principles.

The registration fee for each course is $25, however, a stipend covering the cost of the course is available to adult students who have been away from the classroom and are planning to enroll as a credit student in the spring 2013 semester.

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Indianhead Community Health Care Inc. has taken on a new project that will benefit every woman who has had breast cancer and has a mammogram at Indianhead Medical Center in Shell Lake before June’s Relay For Life.

According to registered nurse Pat Hubin, scarf project coordinator, “One of the things we want our cancer patients to know is that we care about them.

We hope that including this little saying with each scarf will emphasize our thoughts for them.”

“This scarf is a friendly reminder, that you are not alone.

Each one is made with Love and Hope.

Each stitch pulls together everyone who is thinking of you.

And Hope multiplied is Love from above.

Prayers go with you from all of us.”

Hubin says the scarves are simple to knit once you see how they’re The yard on the skein is half-finished done. Experibefore the hand knitting even begins. enced knitters can knock off one in a few hours. She also said they have 31 skeins of this new yarn that comes half-finished already. It takes one skein to make one scarf. If enough knitters volunteer, ICHC will buy more yarn so these pink accessory scarves can be sold at the Valentine’s week bake sale held at IMC. All money raised will go to the IMC Relay For Life team.

If you are interested in helping with this knitting project, please call Hubin at 715-468-2619 and leave a message with her husband.

Living with CWD

Wildlife biologist Gary Dunsmoor removes the small lymph nodes from the harvested deer. The glands will be sent for testing. The results of the test will be sent back to the hunter in several months. — Photos by Larry Samson

by Larry Samson SPOONER — Registering your harvested deer has become a little more complicated since the discovery of a Shell Lake deer infected with chronic wasting disease last year.

You can expect a little wait and longer lines at the three registering stations in Barronett, Shell Lake and Spooner as teams of DNR employees and volunteers collect samples for testing. If a deer has been determined to have been harvested within a 10-mile radius of Shell Lake, the hunter is asked to fill out a survey, and

samples are collected from the deer. In the past, the whole head of the deer was sent in, but now the lymph nodes in the base of the skull are removed, split and sent in. The sportsman will be informed of the results of the test.

The DNR is hoping to test over 1,000 deer this fall. About 150 samples had already been collected and tested from deer killed in road accidents, bow season and those harvested for crop damage.

None of these deer have come back positive.

According to the most current update

Peter Carlson, UW-River Falls student and volunteer, talks to a deer hunter about the importance of testing the deer in the 10-mile radius where a deer was first identified with chronic wasting disease. The DNR scientists are hoping to test 1,000 deer in the 300-square-mile area.

from CWD biologist Mark Rasmussen, the DNR collected a total of 551 samples during the first two days of the nine-day gun deer season. That brings the total to around 750 deer, and the DNR is hoping to reach their goal soon.

The testing is a cooperative effort between the DNR and hunters and is important to the Wisconsin tradition of deer hunting.

“We couldn’t have done this well with-

Thanks everyone, good luck and stay safe to all the hunters.”

SUPERIOR — Chorfest North, hosted by the music department at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, is an honor choir festival in its 28th year that offers talented high school singers from the tristate area the unique experience of performing a major choral work with orchestra under the baton of a nationally recognized conductor.

Based on ability, dedication and work ethic, students are chosen by their own directors. All repertoire must be learned prior to the festival, which requires many hours of preparation both in and out of school. On the day of the festival, students join en mass with a guest conductor for an entire day of rehearsing before presenting the program the same evening. Destiny Schultz is the choral di-

Heart Lake news by Helen V. Pederson

What beautiful weather we’ve been having. Deer season began Saturday, Nov. 17, and I’m sure the hunters would have liked some tracking snow, but I don’t think that will happen. Good luck to all of you and a safe hunt, too.

State football tournament at Camp Douglas is in Madison. Amherst Division 5 played Thursday afternoon, Nov. 15, and won their game against Lancaster. Tim and Sue Pederson attended that game. Tim teaches at Amherst. Sue works at the UW-Stevens Point Clinic.

Somerset won their game Thursday night and played Waunakee Friday afternoon.

Happy birthday to Daniel Pederson, son of Jerid and Rachel Pederson, who live in North Dakota. Daniel turned 4 years old. He is the grandson of Jeff and Brenda and my great-grandson. He is also the great-grandson of Mary Krantz.

Last Saturday, Mary Marschall met her girlfriend, Carol Drexl, at Peggy’s Place

for lunch. On Saturday night John and Mary Marschall enjoyed dinner with Karen and Ben Holzem at the Stop.

Last Tuesday, Jeff Pederson and my grandson, Chad White, stopped to see me before Chad left for his home in Cross Plains.

Mavis and Roger Flach went in to the Salem Lutheran Church to help peel potatoes and rutabagas for the harvest dinner held on Tuesday evening, Nov. 13. It was a wonderful dinner and a good crowd.

Peder Pederson and friend Kathy Walsky attended the 1951 class reunion, which was Virginia’s class, at Tracks on Thursday, Nov. 15, for a 5 p.m. dinner.

This was a short week and not a lot of news.

God so loved the world that he didn’t send a committee!

Good luck to all the hunters and a safe hunt. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hunting season is open. I imagine many hunters were geared up for the hunt, with some staying at their cabins.

This time of year brings memories of my dad. Dad was a great hunter and lo and behold, he wouldn’t let his being a dairy farmer have stopped his going hunting.

Yes, Dad was the leader of the hunting group! He was up bright and early, ready to go hunting. Never mind the milking, they could use a relief for a few days. My dad would depend on us kids to do the chores, which we did. My dad will be gone 32 years on Dec. 18 and come this time, especially, I think of him with hunting.

Talking with my sister in New Berlin we find she is very excited as she will be spending the next couple of weeks at her son, Bruce’s, along with his wife, Doreen, and kids Shawn and Shannon, who live in Rochester, Minn. It’s great to get out of your house and into someone else’s.

The Dewey Town Board met Tuesday evening, Nov. 13, at the Dewey Town Hall. Phil Scheu was absent. The board decided to have a bond on our treasurer Bill Holden. Bob and Lynn Smith from Poquette Lake Orchard were at the meet-

ing. Bob got up and talked to the board about the driveways he put in. Woody put up two stop signs, one south of Poquette Lake Road and one on Oak Road.

However, they were only there a week and were stolen. Just want to remind you fellows that taking stop signs is a felony and it’s also dangerous for the drivers.

The 2013 budget was gone over. The levy was set at $69,046.99. The state was in the process of changing the time when the new election was held and they find a week where the board hasn’t had any power. So that was also voted on. Woody gave a road report telling us the roads are frozen. He also took our loader to the county shop and they are fixing it. Blacktop is done for this year. The next Town of Dewey Board meeting will be Dec. 13, 8 p.m.., at the Dewey Town Hall. Everyone welcome.

Diane Hulleman met her friend, Robin, and they went to the Twin Cities on Tuesday. They went to see one of their friends, Jennifer, who is also a nurse.

Later they enjoyed lunch and got in some shopping before coming home.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

There are beautiful days coming our way.

It was an early news deadline so there wasn’t much to gossip about. There is no snow on the ground and we have very mild temps for the deer hunt! I think hunters like tracking snow better.

Gals are busy preparing for their families arriving for turkey day. They are busy grocery shopping. It’s a great time to be together and to give thanks. The next day, we can eat leftovers, take in Black Friday and Ladies Night shopping.

It’s time to put away the fall décor and drag out all those Christmas decorations and get the outdoor trimmings up when it’s still mild weather.

There was a great turnout, about 50, attending the special town budget meeting Monday night at Sarona Town Hall.

Bob Millard, Chetek, visited at Anton and Gloria Frey’s on Monday while he was up at his place here. Gloria visited her mom, Dorothy Foltz, at Rice Lake convalescent center on Tuesday and found her doing really well.

To celebrate Elaine Ryan’s birthday, she and Rocky went to the Prime for prime rib one evening.

Casey Furchtenicht recently went along with nine other Shell Lake students to attend Engineering Day at UWStout, mentored by teachers Mrs. Lehnert and Mr. Pollei. This past Monday he went with the Shell Lake pep band to the high school all-conference honor band held at Prairie Farm High School.

While in Rice Lake on Tuesday, I vis-

ited June Wuethich and had a nice chat with her over coffee and fresh-baked molasses cookies.

Mary Krantz and I took in our class luncheon at Tracks on Wednesday noon with a dozen classmates attending. Report that we lost another classmate, JoAnn Ludwig. We were 102 graduating and one by one about half the class is deceased now.

Afterward Mary and I went to Trego to drop in on Glenn and Charlotte Campbell but didn’t find them home so drove across the road and had coffee and a luscious dessert and a great visit with Dorothy Peterson.

Home on the farm

by Mary B. Olsen It comes upon us as the mellow richness of autumn’s red and gold leaves have fallen and our yearly harvest is complete. It is then time for all of our people in town and country and city, and on our farms that produce our sustenance, to set aside their labors for a special day. It is a national holiday. It is called Thanksgiving.

Back in the days when I lived in the country, I believed the beautiful holiday should be celebrated like a Norman Rockwell scene on a magazine cover. It should be a feast sharing traditional food where scattered family members would be drawn together in companionship, and children would mingle with cousins, and the men and the women in the family would hold the new babies and measure the growth of the children and converse together. I believed this. But it never happened that way.

There is another phenomenon that occurs here in our northland each Thanksgiving week. It is called gun deer season.

Everyone must be involved in it, like it or not. It takes precedence over all holidays.

On our farm there were fields and woods and hillsides and other ideal habitat for wild deer. For weeks before the season, there had to be gun-safety instruction for the children and they had to be outfitted in blaze orange, whether they would carry a deer rifle or not. The men and boys, yes, and the girls and women, had to practice and prepare for this major event in their lives, the event they lived for, in this great north woods of ours.

My Thanksgivings were impacted by the hunt for deer. We had a great big woodstove in the kitchen where our hunters, young and old, would gather ‘round to warm their hands, dry out gloves, and tell the tales of sighting deer. While I basted the turkey in the oven, the kettle of cranberries bubbled on the stove. I would have to grasp a potholder and set it aside and fill the coffee cups. I listened to their plans and I had to offer words of encouragement.

Three of the men would station themselves at the edge of the woods in the north 40. The children accompanied by at least two women would tramp through the woods and drive the deer to those standing. They set out before the break of day.

Sometimes I joined the drivers and tramped the woods. I didn’t carry a rifle. It was high drama. I might have to help a straggling child to her feet, or call to a boy

straying too far from our line of drivers.

The kids reveled in it. Deer might actually jump up ahead of us. Whether or not the hunters on stand would get a shot at the deer was anybody’s guess. Like all ventures, great and small, it is a gamble. You could get lucky or you could see the sun go down on another day without a deer.

Usually the drive ended and everyone was thoroughly chilled. We returned to the kitchen to review our next strategy. Excitement reigned. Everyone stormed into the kitchen. There were puddles from rain or snow or mud tracked in. There would be the huddle, like a football team, and they would plan other areas for the stand or the drive. The hunters, young and old, warmed up. Someone would say,” You can’t get your buck standing in the kitchen,” and they would be off again.

Sometimes a hunter shot a deer. Then the lucky hunter could field dress the animal and someone would drive the pickup truck out to pick up the deer and bring it to the farmyard. It would be hung up somewhere, from an oak tree, most likely. The processing would be done later. The venison would be a part of our food supply.

The lucky family or I could look forward to cutting up steaks and roasts, canning the meat in fruit jars or making hamburger out of it for the freezer.

Always in hunting season, the hunting ended at dusk. The orange army put up their guns and removed their vests and jackets with their license numbers in bold print in back and their gloves and boots, and all the gear would be set aside for the next final days of the gun deer season.

After dark, it would be time for the kind of Thanksgiving holiday I longed for, during all those years. We could sit down around our table to a wonderful feast and thank the Lord for our harvest and for a safe and successful, or hopeful, deer hunt.

Now that I have come to live in town and the autumn leaves have fallen and the day of Thanksgiving draws near, it is all quite different. I live alone now. Sometimes family members come for the holiday or I may go to the home of one of them. The coming together of family is no longer overwhelmed by the gun deer season. We celebrate the more traditional holiday. Yet, as my mind wanders back in time, I realize I was mistaken. I recall those days of Thanksgiving as a wonderful part of the lives of the members of my family. Thanksgiving is not a magazine cover. It is a day of thanks for our many blessings, and for a good harvest.

27th-Annual

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful day spent with family and good friends.

Richard Pieper and Delores Schultz have invited the family to their new home for Thanksgiving dinner this year.

They are fixing a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Richard’s sisters, Dawn and Debbie, and Duane and I all plan to be there to celebrate with them.

We had a quite a few successful hunters opening weekend. Gordon Haseleu got a 10-pointer at 10:30 opening morning. His brother-in-law, Don McGovern, got his buck at 4 that afternoon.

Adam Holmes also got a nice 10pointer on Saturday.

Bob Carsley’s daughter, Jessie, who is a first-time hunter, got a nice doe on opening weekend. Congratulations, Jessie. Bet this will be the first of many hunting memories you’ll share with your dad.

The Overvig hunting party got three deer during the weekend. Their hunting party consisted of Merl, Brian and Kellen Overvig and Kellen’s friend, Ross. Brian had flown in from Arizona so he could be here opening weekend. Kellen has the hunting thing down pat. While the other three were out in their stands or combing the hills and pastures for deer, he decided it was time to take a nap. After a couple of hours of refreshing sleep, he moseyed outside, walked into the first pasture, saw a buck standing there, fired one shot, dropped him, and dragged him back to the house. Hmmm. Wonder why it takes some guys 10 days to do a 20minute job.

Rocky and Pat Semms said that they haven’t seen anything worth shooting at yet, but they have certainly received lots of phone calls from their friends and family telling about the deer they’ve shot. Rocky thought maybe someone would take pity on them and just give them one. Actually, I think he was kidding. They seem to enjoy getting out and hunting for themselves.

Surprisingly Rick and Robin Theese didn’t get a deer opening weekend. They usually have theirs right away. But, they did finally tell me about the trip they took to North Dakota about three weeks ago. They went to Fargo, where they met their daughter and grandchildren, Heather, Aarianna and Jon Carlson, and son Derek Theese. They didn’t do any sightseeing or shopping or any of the things most people do while traveling.

All they wanted to do was spend time with their family. They miss Heather and Derek, of course, but they really miss the little grandkids. Rick said that they will be home for Christmas, so that’s great.

Maybe Rick and Robin can talk Heather into letting them come home for a couple of weeks next summer.

Pat Olson was talking to her son, Jay, on the phone just before the election a couple of weeks ago. Jay’s granddaughter, Cedar, who will be 4 years old next month, was at his house and asked if she could talk to Grandma Pat. Jay gave her the phone, and she jabbered away for a while about this and that, and then said, “Oh, Grandma Pat, Grandma Marcia told me to tell you to be sure to vote.” Pat asked Cedar, “Who do you think I should vote for?” Cedar, in her infinite, almost-4-year-old wisdom, said, “I don’t know, but we have a boat at home.”

Hmmm. Maybe we should leave the running of the country to 4-year-olds.

I had a chance to visit with Fern Kittleson over the phone for a while on Sunday. Fern, who is from over by Mikana, is now living in Chandler, Ariz., with her daughter, Jean. She said that, other than the fact that her eyesight and hearing aren’t as good as they used to be, she is doing very well. She asked me to tell everyone here hello from her. Fern was a very active member of Our Savior’s Lutheran in Campia, and I told her how nice their lutefisk dinner was again this year. She hasn’t been able to get back to help with the dinner for the past three years, and said that she really misses that. We had a nice visit, and it sounds like she is enjoying the time she is spending with her family in Arizona.

The Scandinavian smorgasbord, hosted by members of Barronett Lutheran, is coming up rapidly. I hope we’re ready for this. It’s always the first Saturday in December, which is Dec. 1 this year. We will be serving all kinds of really delicious food. In addition to the stuff that’s good for you, we have a dessert table that’s overflowing with different desserts. We host the dinner at Barronett Community Center from 1-5 p.m. We hope you can join us this year, and be sure to bring a few friends along.

The next evening, Dec. 2, Friends of the Wiesner Community Chapel will be hosting their old-fashioned candlelight Christmas service. JoAnne Matthys will be playing organ music, and apple cider and cookies will be served during the fellowship hour, which starts at 7 p.m. Pastor Jeff Martin will lead the Christmas service, which starts at 8 p.m. The Wiesner Community Chapel is located a couple of miles north on CTH V between Rice Lake and Cumberland. It’s a little, old-fashioned church, heated by a woodstove, and the friends have it beautifully decorated for the service. The service includes lots and lots of old, familiar See Barronett, page 15

Boost the value of your food drive donations

SPOONER — Community groups and social organizations often host food drives to fill local food pantry shelves this time of year. By keeping a few simple tips in mind, you can enhance the value of the food donations you make.

“It’s important to remember that donated food is most helpful if it is both safe and high quality,” says Wilma Johnson, nutrition education coordinator with the University of Wisconsin-Extension, Washburn County.

Make sure to check the dates on packages of foods that you donate, advises Ingham. Many packaged items are marked with dates that indicate freshness. Some examples include: • Quality or pack dates often designated on packages by the words “Better if used by ...” and a date. Look for these dates on packaged mixes, cold cereals, peanut butter, and increasingly, on canned items like fruits and vegetables. These dates mean that after the quality date, the food will begin to lose its flavor and may even develop an off flavor. Quality dates are an estimate of how long foods will remain at their peak quality. Donate only foods that are well within the quality dates marked on the package.

• Expiration dates, such as “Expires 2/15/13” or “Do not use after 7/9/13.” Look for these dates on vitamins, yeast, baking powder and cake mixes. Do not donate foods that are past their expiration date.

• Pull dates. Example: “Sell by May 16.” Look for these dates on perishable, refrigerated foods such as milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream, eggs, lunchmeat and packaged salad mixes. Perishable foods, with the exception of garden produce, are usually not included in a food drive. If they are, choose foods that are well within the pull date for best quality.

Besides looking for a date, be sure to check the integrity of the package. To ensure that the food has not been contaminated, donate only foods from unopened packages.

Avoid foods with packaging that shows signs of leakage or damage. Johnson urges consumers not to donate

canned items that have broken seams or large dents.

Are home-canned foods, fresh eggs or produce safe to donate? Food pantries often welcome donations of fresh produce. However, home-canned foods, meat or eggs that have not been handled by licensed food processors should not be donated. “If you have a question about a proposed donation, contact the food pantry. Staff there will be happy to discuss whether they can accept or store the donation that you have in mind,” suggests Johnson.

Johnson also suggests avoiding sugary cereals, salty noodle mixes and fruit-flavored beverages that might be easy to donate, but difficult for families to include in nutritious meals. Instead, Johnson urges consumers to donate foods that have a stable shelf life, are full of nutrients and easy to prepare. Good examples of foods to consider are: • Whole grain, low-sugar cereals such as plain instant oatmeal, whole grain Os and bran flakes.

• Whole grain or enriched pasta and instant rice, either brown or enriched. Boxed noodle and rice dishes can be an easy starting point for a one-dish meal.

• Whole grain crackers, especially reduced-sodium and popcorn.

• Canned vegetables, especially those without added salt.

• Fruits canned in juice, unsweetened applesauce, 100percent fruit juice and dried fruit such as raisins or craisins.

• Spaghetti sauce, salsa and canned beans, including baked beans.

• Canned meats. Food pantries tend to receive a lot of canned salmon or tuna, so consider other meats such as canned chicken, ham or beef. Do not donate meat canned at home.

• Peanuts and peanut butter.

• Reduced-sodium broth and soups.

• Low-fat salad dressings or spreads, and condiments such as ketchup or mustard.

• Baby food is a welcome donation. Just be sure to do-

nate well within the date marked on the containers.

Consider donating cash to food pantries. “Pantries can often get more for their dollars, address shortages and needs and focus on high-quality products with some extra financial assistance,” says Johnson. “Cash donations help food pantry volunteers offer the widest possible array of products to the individuals that they serve.”

Johnson notes that pantries are designed to serve only as emergency food stock, not as a continuous source of food, and need donations throughout the year. “Pantries are helping those in need during the holidays, and every day,” she says. — from UWEX

hen 4-year-old Sammy awoke after surgery, the nurse explained that it would be necessary for him to be fed intravenously for the next few days.

After assuring him that everything would be fine, she began the process to administer the glucose. Always in the habit of giving thanks before each meal, Sammy asked in a brave and cheerful voice, “Aren’t you going to give thanks?”

It is not easy to give thanks in painful situations. Nor is it natural to see God’s goodness in all of life’s trials and troubles. But the Apostle Paul reminds us to, “Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

When we give thanks, we acknowledge our confidence in the Lord, knowing that he cares for us. When we give thanks, we express our closeness to God, realizing that he is with us in every situation. When we give thanks, we declare that we are willing to accept the counsel of God knowing that his will is being done.

Early release makes for a fall fun day

This is a really cool game, predator-prey. The children must remain quiet and still as Amy Frey circles around them. Those that move are tagged and they join the food chain. Through this game, the children learn the importance of the survival skill of holding still and blending in.

Hunt Hill educator Tony Diehl teaches the young students how to use the high-tech GPS to find their way in the woods. Those who were not listening had a harder time finding their way back.

Hunt Hill program director Nikki Nelson helps Madeline Naglosky with her scarf so that she can keep warm as the temperatures start to drop when the sun goes down. It was a long afternoon for the 65 students in the Early Release Fall Fun Day held in Shell Lake. The activity was a partnership with Hunt Hill and the after-school program giving students an educational experience on the early release day, which was Thursday, Nov. 15.

Students of the month

Hunt Hill educator Amy Frey quizzes the children while they enjoy a snack.

How long is your program: I am here the whole school year.

First impression of the United States: Everything is so big, the grocery stores and even the food sizes in them are bigger than the ones we have.

Why did you pick the U.S.: I’ve always wanted to come to the United States, and I started working on my parents four years ago. I am very glad to be here where everyone is so friendly.

What do your parents do: My father is involved with the heating systems of pullalong caravans, (campers). My mom works in the office for the same company.

What do you think of American food: I Verena Brunnhuber like it, but I miss German bread. I always wanted to try American white bread, but it only made me lonesome for my mother’s bread.

Which American food has become your favorite: Corn dogs, barbecue and Reese’s peanut butter cups. I like peanut butter because we have it back home, but only on our morning toast. The chocolate is OK here, but my parents are sending me some chocolate from home.

Is there a worst food here: I do not care for sweet potatoes.

What do you miss most from home: Friends, family and public transportation.

What will you be buying to take back or send home for Christmas: Reese’s at Christmas and Packer stuff, pictures and the two quilts that my host, Joanna, made for me when I go home. My entire family is going to come for a visit in 2014.
