SHELL LAKE — The holiday season is just around the corner, and the American Red Cross asks everyone to support its mission by giving something meaningful — hope for those in need. A blood donation is a gift that doesn’t cost a thing. Recently, Superstorm Sandy forced the cancellation of hundreds of blood drives along the East Coast, resulting in a shortfall of thousands of donations. While blood drive operations are being restored in the affected areas, the need for blood donations continues. Blood donors have generously stepped up to help in the aftermath of the storm, and the Red Cross reminds eligible donors to continue their support by scheduling an appointment to give blood. There may be no greater gift to give this year than one that can help disaster victims, like those of Sandy. A blood donation opportunity is coming to Washburn County on Thursday, Nov. 29, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Shell Lake High School. Simply call 800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. – submitted ••• SHELL LAKE - The deadline for registration for the Dec. 2 bus trip to Duluth to see the Bentleyville Tour of Lights, offered through Shell Lake and Cumberland community education programs, is Nov. 26.

A majority of Washburn County voters also disagreed with a majority of Wisconsin voters when it came to picking a new U.S. senator.

Former Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) defeated Tammy Baldwin (D) by a margin of 4,434 to 4,396 in Washburn County, but Baldwin defeated Thompson statewide by a margin of 1,528,143 to 1,363,317 (51.5 to 45.9 percent).

Washburn County voters backed the winner in the 7th Congressional District race, where freshman Congressman Sean Duffy (R) defeated challenger Pat Kreitlow (D) by a margin of 4,779 to 3,943. Districtwide, Duffy’s margin was 200,033 to 155,068 (56.3 percent to 43.7 percent).

Voter turnout in Washburn County was strong with 9,316 people casting votes for president. That compares to 9,083 in 2008, approximately 9,500 in 2004 and 8,200 in 2000.

A night of trick-or-treaters

Trinity Campbell and her dog, Jackson, were a hit at the Lakeland Manor.

Aubri and Chloe Hanson visited Ruth Thompson at the Lakeland Manor. The Manor is a fun place for the trick-or-treaters.

Some people go all out making their costumes. Suzan Kelley was the evil fairy, Maleficent, from “Sleeping Beauty.” Her sons, Russell and Ruell, were despicable pirates.

There was a wide range of creatures out on Halloween. Fouryear-old Logan Dolan was a Scooby Doo, Dylan Wackerfuss was that thing from Halloween movies, and Dazja Wozny was the caped crusader, Batgirl.

Mallory Adfel and her dog, Savior, were Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. She is going to have to work on the dog’s costume. He did not look so bad or scary.

Mustang 101/open house follow-up

Rockin Z Ranch and Sid Zacharias extend their gratitude to the community for its support and to all that came and supported him for the Mustang Makeover that was held in South Carolina, Oct. 19-21.

Diane Dryden, Washburn County Register, did a great interview of Sid and the wild mustangs that gave the community knowledge of what has been happening to the wild mustangs that are captured from out West. Sid is able to train and care for two mustangs for four months and then exhibit them in the Mustang Makeover before they were adopted and given a new home.

Sid did a great job with the mustang, as at the Mustang Makeover, Little Joe took reserve champion and Zapp It To Me came in fifth of the overall score of the top 10. Also having the two combined top scores, Sid brought home a

brand-new Martin saddle.

The purpose of training the wild mustangs is to give them a chance to use their talent in a more productive purpose.

With the article in the paper and the community support, Little Joe has a new home in South Carolina, and Zapp It To Me has one in Tennessee. You can see Sid and Little Joe’s freestyle presentation on YouTube.

Again we appreciated everyone that helped with the mustang 101/open house and the great pictures and coverage that the Washburn County Register did on the article. With everyone’s help and support, you all have given two amazing mustangs a great home.

To mayor and city council: Since the DNR says that Shell Lake is a basin lake and that the city can redirect the water like the diversion ditch flow, and I suppose any other water that was diverted can be changed back to Shell Lake, I think that now is the time for some action by the city to have this done!

I have never seen the water this low. I remember the rock piles by the old boat factory that were out of the water in the 1960s, but maybe when the ice went out many times that the ice sure could have moved them and spread them out. Time to take action is now.

Another thing that I wonder about is why the city takes the pier out before Nov. 1 this year. Can’t notice be given before it happens because the lake people sometimes don’t have their stuff out by then, since we changed things around for the duck hunters and they don’t pay the high taxes that the lake people do. Does anybody agree with my thinking?

Would appreciate some answers to this.

Here we go again. The money is gone but the spending goes on and on.

If you noticed the town’s budget proposal in the newspaper, you’ll see a $75,000 levy increase as well as a budget shortfall of $50,000.

After the July 2012 special meeting, I was convinced that after a 22 to 10 vote that most of the residents were not in favor of going into debt or increasing their tax levy for road construction.

I guess this board has a very short memory, or else they are trying to slip this past the voters.

The upcoming budget meeting on Monday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. at the Sarona

Town Hall is posted as a special meeting, giving the residents as much say as the board members.

I encourage all town residents, as well as property owners, to please show up and voice your opinion. I would also urge the town to give some consideration to the nonresident property and lake homeowners who make up a considerable portion of our tax base and are affected by tax increases just as much as the taxpayer who resides here full time.

Time to take action is now!

Two men claiming to be Christians, but don’t qualify

The Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible is not the Jesus of the Mormon faith from the Book of Mormon. All the major religions call it a cult, because in the Holy Bible, New Testament, Galatians Chapter 1:8-9, says, “But event if we or (Moroni) an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” This is so important verse 9 repeats it. If Joseph Smith had known the Bible, he would have been aware of this and not printed the Book of Mormon.

On the other hand, the Democrats have as one of their plans choice, abortion, and another to support homosexuals, gays. Both of these are condemned in the Bible. You cannot support these issues and call yourself a Christian. Now we have two men claiming to be Christians, but don’t qualify.

Obama has run this nation $16 trillion in debt, and neither one of these men or

their party has a viable plan to get out.

There is no conventional way out.

One trillion, just 1 trillion is an incomprehensible amount. One billion is bad enough. Realize that 1 billion seconds, that’s second ago, it was 1971.

The function of a free government is only threefold. One: Protection. Two: Justice. Three: Control the currency. Is your government filling these qualifications?

The answer is no. Especially controlling the currency, which it has turned over to a private banking organization calling themselves The Federal Reserve. A giant step toward getting our government out of debt and back on tract is to nationalize the Federal Reserve and make them legitimate and erase a large portion of our debt because we would then owe it to ourselves, not a private banking system.

Discussion on the success of the first-annual Oktoberfest was part of the Thursday, Nov. 1, Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce meeting. There was a total of 103 tickets sold for the Oct. 13 evening of sampling food and beverages from area businesses along with dancing to polka music by Wunderbar, a band of UW-Eau Claire students. The chamber partnered with the Shell Lake Arts Center to present this special event. Plans for next year’s event were discussed. The tentative date is Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013. The two organizations also worked together on the Haunted Schoolhouse that was another successful endeavor.

The chamber will once again be participating in the Celebration of Lights in the municipal campground during the holiday season.

Corrine Hill, committee chairperson for Holiday Saturday, presented plans for the annual event. Breakfast with Santa is set for Saturday, Dec. 1, 8-11 a.m., at the Shell Lake Community Center. Children will have the opportunity to have his or her photo taken with Santa and enjoy a breakfast of pancakes and sausage. Children will also 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 After-School Program Holiday Saturday Craft Fair will be from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., at the 3-12 building.

Those wishing to be a vendor may contact Kris Brunberg at 715-468-1205. The Shell Lake Education Foundation will have a food booth. Downtown Shell Lake businesses will have specials that day. Lake Mall will be open from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. with complimentary refreshments and additional opportunities for holiday shopping.

Michelle Voight, Washburn County Tourism, talked about the upcoming printing of the Washburn County Visitors Guide. She also mentioned the opportunity to receive training on how to work with events including marketing and budgeting. Voight congratulated Shell Lake on being hosts to a triathlon set for Saturday, July 27, 2013. The Shell Lake Lions Club and FrontRunner USA are sponsoring the event.

Creating a Facebook page for the chamber was discussed.

To celebrate the holidays, the chamber is considering attending Theatre in the Woods’ dinner and a play on Thursday, Dec. 13. The performance is “The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge,” held at the Erika Quam Memorial Theatre. To express your interest in attending, please contact Phyllis Mayala at maya l a p @ s h e l l l a k e . k12.wi.us. Reservations and prepayment are required.

Great American Smokeout set for Nov. 15

NATIONWIDE — Every year, on the third Thursday of November, smokers across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. They may use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance and then quit smoking that day. The event challenges people to stop using tobacco and helps people know about the many tools they can use to quit and stay tobacco free.

Research shows that smokers are most successful in kicking the habit when they have support, such as: telephone smoking-cessation hotlines; stop-smoking groups; online quit groups; counseling; nicotine replacement products; prescription medicine to lessen cravings; guide books; encouragement and support from friends and family.

Using two or more of these measures to help you quit smoking works better than using any one of them alone. For example, some people use a prescription medicine along with nicotine replacement. Other people may use as many as three or four of the methods listed above.

Telephone stop-smoking hotlines are an easy-to-use resource, and they are available in all 50 states. Call 800-227-2345 to find telephone counseling or other support in your area.

How it began The Great American Smokeout has helped dramatically change Americans’ attitudes about smoking. These changes have led to community programs and smoke-free laws that are now saving lives in many states. Annual Great American Smokeout events began in the 1970s, when smoking and secondhand smoke were commonplace.

The idea for the Great American Smokeout

grew from a 1971 event in Randolph, Mass., at which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund.

Then in 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. The idea caught on, and on Nov. 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society got nearly 1 million smokers to quit for the day. That California event marked the first Great American Smokeout, and the society took the program nationwide in 1977. Since then, there have been dramatic changes in the way society views tobacco advertising and tobacco use. Many public places and work areas are now smoke-free.

Saving lives Because of the efforts of individuals and groups that have led anti-tobacco efforts, there have been significant landmarks in the areas of research, policy and the environment: In 1977, Berkeley, Calif., became the first community to limit smoking in restaurants and other public places.

In 1983, San Francisco passed the first strong workplace smoking restrictions, including bans on smoking in private workplaces.

In 1990, the federal smoking ban on all interstate buses and domestic flights of six hours or less took effect.

In 1994, Mississippi filed the first of 24 state lawsuits seeking to recuperate millions of dollars from tobacco companies for smokingrelated illnesses paid for by Medicaid.

In 1999, the Department of Justice filed suit

against cigarette manufacturers, charging the industry with defrauding the public by lying about the risks of smoking.

In 1999, the Master Settlement Agreement was passed, requiring tobacco companies to pay $206 billion to 45 states by the year 2025 to cover Medicaid costs of treating smokers.

Those states with strong tobacco control laws are now reaping the fruits of their labor.

From 1965 to today, cigarette smoking among adults in the United States decreased from more than 42 percent to around 20 percent.

Strong smoke-free policies, media campaigns and increases in the prices of tobacco products are at least partly credited for these decreases.

Still, today, about 1 in 5 U.S. adults smoke cigarettes; that’s more than 45 million people.

And about 15 million people smoke tobacco in cigars or pipes. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women.

More than 80 percent of lung cancer deaths are thought to result from smoking. Smoking also causes cancers of the larynx (voice box), mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus (swallowing tube) and bladder. It also has been linked to the development of cancers of the pancreas, cervix, ovary (mucinous), colon/rectum, kidney, stomach and some types of leukemia. Cigars and pipes cause cancers, too. Smoking is responsible for nearly 1 in 3 cancer deaths, and 1 in 5 deaths from all causes.

structive storm,” said Mark Stoering, president and CEO of Northern States Power – Wisconsin. “Our crews have the skills and experience to tackle these types of situations safely and expertly, and we’re honored to play a role in helping our neighbors – even if they live more than 1,000 miles away.”

Crews will help American Electric Power rebuild electricity distribution systems in West Virginia, Kentucky and southern Ohio. The trip is approximately 1,200 miles one way. The deployment may last as long as two weeks.

Stoering noted that AEP made the request through a mutual aid network and specifically asked to work with Xcel Energy crews. “This is a testament to our skilled employees, their professionalism and their focus on

safety. We helped AEP this past summer following the wind storms in Ohio. Our crews worked to restore power in 100-plus degree weather. Now it appears that they will be dealing with 2 to 4 feet of snow and heavy damage – conditions they are very capable of addressing.”

Utilities maintain mutual aid agreements and routinely assist each other when storms cause massive destruction resulting in widespread, lengthy power outages. The utility requesting aid reimburses the utility whose crews are sent to help. Xcel Energy sends crews after assessing its own situation and ensuring it has adequate resources to respond to routine and emergency power outages in its service territories. — from Xcel Energy

Autumn goodies

hen the final days of October were fleeting past us and we received a few wet snowflakes on Thursday, Oct. 25, my thoughts went toward the comfort foods of fall. This is when I use baking recipes that call for cinnamon and cloves. Caramel apples and caramel corn as well as candy corn mixed with peanuts become a popular snack.

I’m sure we all associate certain foods and smells to the seasons, such as associating peppermint to the Christmas season and caramel to autumn.

My friend Cheryl stopped into the office one afternoon and we started discussing a certain brand of caramels. We were talking about how there would be one chocolate candy in amongst the other individually wrapped square pieces of caramel. Cheryl commented on how the chocolate one was the piece everyone seemed to want. About the same time we both said, “Do they still do that?”

Curiousity got the best of me as I found myself going into Dahlstroms Lakeside Market to buy a bag of caramels. I didn’t find a chocolate candy inside the bag I purchased. When did they stop adding that special touch? I tried doing a search on the Internet to see if I could find the answer to my question. Instead I

found the nutritional value of a caramel; that wasn’t a very good find.

I then came across a recipe for making chocolate caramels. The 26 reviews on this were mixed. The responses ranged from just a plain “yummy” to “This is a great recipe, everyone loved it,” and, “It was fun but I don’t think I cooked it for long enough because even after putting it in the freezer for two days, it still wasn’t set. I ended up using it as ice-cream sauce and it was still delicious.” Another positive comment was, “It reminded me of the wrapped caramels that my grandma would make at Christmastime. It tasted just like hers. If you are not a patient person this is not the recipe for you.” A comment from a frustrated cook was, “What a waste of my time and ingredients. I would not make this or attempt a recipe like this again!” To me the funniest comment was, “I couldn’t get the temperature above 200. I know I got it pretty hot because the smoke alarms in my house went off.”

Well, my search to find the answer to what I thought was a simple question didn’t reveal an answer. I also decided to pass on the recipe to make my own chocolate caramels.

Tozer Turkey Trot set for Thanksgiving Day

Grandpa and granddaughter sky dive together On a beautiful Saturday this fall, Bill Taubman, Shell Lake, and his granddaughter, Nicole Wallace, took an airplane ride at Baldwin. At an altitude of 13,500 feet, they jumped out. Taubman says this is something that has been on his bucket list for many years. It is something that Wallace wanted to do as well, so it became a little family outing. The two free-fell at a speed of 120 mph for the first 8,500 feet and glided slowly from that point to the ground. Both agreed that it was an exciting and fun experience, something they wouldn’t mind doing again, thinking that a second time their focus could be on the beauty of everything around them rather than on survival. — Photo submitted

The great Alaskan road trip

oad trips are a thing of the past. Though I haven’t done nearly as many family road trips in my lifetime as my parents’ generation has during their childhood, there are definitely a few memorable family road trips. They’re memorable not necessarily because of the great weather, the perfect luck, or how great my family got along – no, it was quite the opposite. Long drives stuck between siblings, torrential downpours, cramped lodgings, patience stretched to the limits, and plain bad luck always seemed to loom behind my family during any trip we took.

When I was 8, my parents decided we should all go to Alaska for a two-week road trip around the state.

Weeks before the trip, we dreamed of things we would see, sights we would go to, and the excitement of living in a big RV for two weeks seemed spontaneous and exhilarating.

Let me set the stage for you first. My oldest sister was 18 and it was the summer before she left for college. My older sister was 15 with braces. Then there was me, 8 years old, and my younger sister fresh out of kindergarten at 6 years old. Put that all together and that equals one emotional teenager dealing with independence issues, one moody, hormonal teenager with the need for privacy and space, a careless 8-year-old, and a wandering 6-year-old who my parents never knew where she had walked off to.

We finally got to Alaska and found out that the dream of a spacious “six-person” RV really only comfortably slept four. I say comfortably, because we definitely could all fit, but only if the two youngest slept in the “kitchen” on the fold-down table that was 4 feet across. Thank God we were fun size during that trip.

During this two-week extravaganza, there was probably one day out of all of them when it wasn’t raining. The back of the RV was so caked with mud we couldn’t remember what color it was to begin with. With limited radio up there, we had one CD to listen to and it was Ricky Martin. At 8 years old I had memorized the words to “Livin’ La Vida Loca” because of how much we played that CD over and over again. That phrase had become the title to our entire trip. One of my sisters wrote it in the thick mud across our back window and it fol-

lowed us everywhere we went – and I felt we were truly “Living the Crazy Life.”

One night my two older sisters were in rotation to sleep next to each other. In the middle of the night, one sister had apparently twitched in her sleep, for which the other sister punched her and told her to wake up.

“Ow! Why’d you hit me?” Clearly she was irritated about being woken up. “I thought you were having a seizure!” “Oh, so punching me is going to help?!” I think it’s ironic that she (the punching sister) is now a nurse practitioner.

At every campsite we visited, my younger sister wandered off and did as she pleased. It was dinnertime once and we were sitting down to eat at a cramped table inside while it drizzled and rained outside, and we couldn’t find where she was. Here she had made friends with another little girl and had walked into another RV and practically invited herself over for dinner with this girl’s grandparents.

One of my favorite parts of the trip was when we were in an uninhabited part of Alaska, where the road was unpaved and the land around us was wild and untouched. The rain had stopped and there was a fine mist that settled on the ground. We stopped and got out to stretch our legs and parked the RV off the side of the rugged road – I felt like we were hundreds of miles away from any civilization. While admiring the scenery we noticed that all around us were fields of wild blueberries. We picked the small, tart berries until our hands turned purple and our buckets and stomachs were full.

Many things went wrong on that trip; we were tired, cramped, crabby and sick of mud and rain. But the great Alaskan road trip is one I will never forget. Because even if we all got sick of each other at one point or another, we bonded over arbitrary things like Ricky Martin CDs, halibut fishing with a captain named Jack, skipping smooth stones into the cold and bitter sea, and picking wild blueberries in the middle of nowhere. Over all the trips I’ve taken, that one is at the top of my favorite list – because our family became a little bit more of a family during those two weeks.

You never know what a woman can do

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Here’s the story of a woman from Ladysmith. She fell head over heels in love with good-looking young man when she was in high school so she quit school; they married and had five children.

She was one of those stay-at-home moms in Shell Lake. Because she loved to cook, and did a lot of it, she taught all her kids the fun of creating meals and desserts, instilling culinary skills they still use today.

Never happy that she didn’t finish high school, she worked to get her GED and then years later she attended WITC, which then was called WITI, changing “institute” to “college.” This was 1982 and the first year the technical college taught a course in computers. She had a double major, accounting and information systems management, and graduated in only three years. Not only was she in college, two of her children were also in college, one in a graduate school program.

With her degree under her belt, she applied for a job at Master Craft Inc. in Rice Lake. The kitchen business is called Holiday Kitchens and with her love and knowledge of computers, she helped bring the company out of the Dark Ages, making them computer-friendly, which changed the way they did business. She also produced several programs of her own for cabinetry. One of the results, a beautiful custom built-in cabinet, stands in her dining room.

Ila Soltis, and her husband, Phil, moved to their house in Shell Lake near the airport in the 1970s. After 13 years working in Rice Lake, she retired to travel with her husband, who was also newly retired, he from WITC after 35 years. Being a bona fide computer nerd by now, she

Ila Soltis created the computer program that was used to make this custom cabinet that sits in their dining room, while working at Holiday Kitchens in Rice Lake.

Ila Soltis holds her newly published cookbook containing 560 family-favorite recipes, which she’ll use as family Christmas gifts this year.

found it easy to produce her own memory books, one covering the only trip the entire family got to go on together, which was to Canada. Another one of her booklets is filled with photos of their early years of married life, babies, and Phil’s many jobs to make a living. The third booklet covers Phil’s and her families, parents, siblings, etc.

This past spring, she decided that after years of cooking, it was time to gather all her favorite recipes out of the many cookbooks she had, including the 2-gallon bag of recipes, which she sorted through each time she wanted to make an old favorite.

“I found a software program called Cook’n and ordered it online. This unique program is designed for recipes and makes the project so much easier. If you type a ‘C’ after an ingredient, the program writes in cup. It also has the ability to create a list of groceries for any of the recipes and, as an added bonus, will print out the nutritional information.”

Even with the program, there was still a great deal of work to be done. Each recipe has its own page and photos. Sometimes the photos are of the family as they’re cooking; sometimes it’s of the recipe. “Phil thought it was great when I didn’t have, or couldn’t find, a photo because I had to prepare the dish from scratch. He would take the photo and then of course we had to eat the results!”

Ila has included a special section on the Thanksgiving turkey. She has a precious photo of Phil’s mother with a finished turkey, ready to go onto the table. The information covers everything from buying the bird to placing it on the table. It’s included because Thanksgiving is one of the Soltises’ favorite holidays. After preparing the huge dinner, Ila has everything ready for the annual cookiebaking marathon. “Our five kids, eight grandkids and three great-grandkids all started out early baking and decorating cookies at Thanksgiving. There are plenty of photos of the cookie day in the book, along with the recipe.”

She spent the spring and summer madly typing out recipes and editing others and then baking some of the products so they could include the pictures. By September she had a completed volume. “I never paid any attention to how many recipes I had in the 23 categories,” she said. “All I know is that I had diet food recipes, snacks, pickles and Phil’s Hungarian/Polish family recipes and many, many others finished. I had included a category exchange chart for substituting one food for

another in a recipe and a list of common terms, like dicing and mincing, so the grandkids would understand the terms in the recipes. My kids sent recipes for the book and when all was said and done, there were over 560 pages in the finished copy from White Birch Printing.”

They also designed the cover with a special message from Ila. These almost 2-inch thick books, with a spiral binding enabling the user to have only one recipe in front of them at a time, will be used in part as Christmas gifts to family members, including Phil and Ila’s siblings.

In her spare time, Ila knits and crochets sweaters and dresses for the grandkids and fills her walls with beautiful photos of their travels and their children. It’s a beautiful life and Thanksgiving is just around the corner which means it’s cookie-baking time again and soon the entire family will have their own recipe for the dough, and 500-and-some more.

Blazing a Trail For Hope fun run and walk

It was their first year for the Blazing a Trail For Hope fun run and walk. The event was the kickoff for the 2013 Relay For Life, and it was held Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Spooner Middle School.

Spooner singers take part in state honors choir

Sam Dettle, Gracia Gormong and Tyler Revak, from Spooner schools, were selected for the middle level choir.

SPOONER - The Wisconsin School Music Association State Honors Music Project brings Wisconsin’s top young musicians to work together with nationally known conductors in a highly disciplined, professional setting. More than 1,400 students statewide in grades 9 through 11 applied this year for the chance to participate at the high school level.

Nearly 1,250 students in grades 6 through 8 auditioned for the middle level honors project. After an intense audition process last spring, 429 high school students in total were selected for membership in five different high school level ensembles (band, orchestra, mixed choir, treble choir and jazz ensemble) and 317 middle school students were chosen for three different middle level ensembles (choir, orchestra and band).

Mariah Carroll and Tayler Livingston were selected

for the high school mixed choir. They attended a summer camp to learn the music and work with the guest conductor. Sam Dettle, Gracia Gormong and Tyler Revak were selected for the middle level choir. They received music over the summer and learned the music with their choir director, Destiny Schultz. All middle level and high school honors ensembles gathered in Madison at the end of October to rehearse and perform for audiences numbering in the thousands in conjunction with the Wisconsin Music Educators Association State Conference.

In addition, Wisconsin Public Radio will broadcast select high school honors pieces on Thanksgiving Day with full high school honors concerts aired on Sunday, Dec. 30, between noon and 2 p.m.

So sorry, no mail today

by Mary B. Olsen This lady I knew some years ago lived in the country and had no close neighbors. She was alone all day, so she walked down a long lane to her mailbox every day but Sunday. She waited for the mail carrier. He would greet her with a friendly hello. She would greet him, but then she would try to keep him there at least for a few minutes. He had to go on his appointed rounds, so away he would drive, leaving her alone, until the next

day. She was desperate for some kind of human companionship.

Once I asked my rural letter carrier why I didn’t get very many letters. He said, “Write letters to people and they will write back.”

Many people are delighted to open their mailbox and find a letter from a friend or loved one far away. I am always overjoyed to find something unexpected and personal, a message from someone to me. I can slip it into my pocket and save it until I sit down at my kitchen table and savor it. Letters are an extension of our personalities, a way of stretching out our arms to friends.

Looking at today’s mail, I see there are

Roger and Sue Mroszak of Hertel celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in September of this year. Congratulations to them. In October, they went on a trip to Niagara Falls with five other couples, who each had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year also. Way to go. What makes this unique is that the guys have been friends since second grade. They all graduated from Harding High School in 1958. The gals all got acquainted when the dating started. Since then the couples have gotten together often, to play cards and socialize. Even though they are all now retired and scattered over Minnesota and Wisconsin, each couple still takes a turn once a year to have the card club going at their home and to continue to enjoy each other’s company and count their blessings, which include 13 children and 23 greatgrandchildren.

Karen Mangelsen called on Florence Brewster Monday morning. In the afternoon, she visited Doris Kosloski.

Marlene Swearingen was a Friday afternoon visitor of Hank and Karen Mangelsen.

Weekend guests of Nina and Lawrence Hines were Colin, Chris, Chad, Jenny,

Aubrey and Ashley Harrison.

Hank and Karen Mangelsen visited April, Dave, Patty and Mandy Close Saturday morning. Karen’s birthday was celebrated.

Jan, Caleb and Hannah Schott were overnight guests of Lida Nordquist Saturday. Joleen and Richard Funk visited there Sunday.

Herb Downing and his friend, Jean, visited Donna and Gerry Hines Saturday afternoon. Other visitors there were Lida Nordquist and Karen and Hank Mangelsen.

All Saints Sunday was celebrated at Lakeview United Methodist Church during the service Sunday morning. Those from the Lakeview fellowship who have died in the last year, and were remembered by a friend or relative lighting a candle for them, were Pauline Smith, John Dunn, Donnie Denotter and Orvela Caswell (Terecia Zwart’s mother).

Among others remembered were Don Nordquist, Donald Taylor, Eva Brown’s sister, Florence Besse (Sue Sutton’s mother), and Kurt Ziemer’s brother-inlaw. Also, the fellowship hall remodeling project and several other memorial gifts were dedicated.

many people reaching out for donations to various charities and fundraisers. Sale via the mail is evident with the flood of catalogs, promotional material and political appeals we receive in our daily mail.

I believe there are some people who read it all. Also, many of these items we call junk mail end up in the discard barrel right at the post office.

Recently we had a gentleman who evaluates antiques come to the library. A lady brought in for evaluation a very old letter sent to a newspaper person in Chicago by the celebrated author Mark Twain. It was a simple message. The author’s signature was probably worth $500. It was a pleasure to see it.

We know that prominent people in political positions and celebrities correspond with other prominent folks and with ordinary people. The letters contribute to volumes that people will buy and treasure. I recently read a book containing the correspondence of Dr. Jane Goodall, the woman who studied chimpanzees in the Gombee National Park in Tanzania. I have two more books on my reading list. One is about pioneer women who journeyed west in covered wagons and wrote about their lives. Some of their letters survive. There is an account of George Armstrong Custer’s wife, Elizabeth, written in letters by another soldier’s wife. The general was killed at the battle of the Little Big Horn. The general loved his dogs. He often mentioned them in his letters and asked if Elizabeth was caring for them while he was away.

After he was killed, Elizabeth spent the rest of her life writing about her husband. You find other ways to view historical figures by reading their letters.

Another book of letters is by Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams. He was away much of the time, often in Boston on the country’s business. She was at home looking after the farm. When he

was contemplating becoming president, she told him to pay attention to the needs of the womenfolk.

I think my mailperson was right. If you write letters, you will receive letters in return. A good letter will elicit a warm response. Even a casual account of what you have been doing lately will be of interest to friends and faraway family members.

The advance of the technological age we are experiencing has infringed on the writing of letters and our younger generation is receiving no education about letter writing. When I went to school a long time ago students learned how to write a proper business letter. It was understood that everyone knew how to write a personal letter. With the progression of e-mails, the writing of personal letters has almost disappeared. In those early days, children were taught by their parents to write thank-you letters to those who sent them gifts. That may no longer happen.

Some letters must still be written. We must write to our servicemen and women who are carrying out their duties in a hostile environment. Children in summer camp are obliged to write to parents. Everyone sends out holiday cards and many people include their latest news. Even this practice is dwindling, I think.

Usually, someone in a family corresponds with the family members who are all over the globe, and that person is like the glue that holds everyone together. Should this person pass away, there may not be anyone to fill that place in the family. This may be why there is so much interest in genealogy these days. Someone did not take up the reins and write letters to keep the whole family in touch with one another. Letter writing is a valuable art, and we should do our best to continue this noble practice.

Dewey Country

by Pauline Lawrence

By the time you read this the big election will be over.

Yes, our president will be either Obama or Romney. I don’t think I’ve ever lived in a time when there was so much mudslinging. Not just for the presidential election but for all the other officials.

Is everyone perky this morning? Well yah should be after getting the extra hour of sleep.

What’s wind, rain, snow up to 2 feet, homes destroyed, huge waves up to 15 feet high, highways shut down, fires burning homes, homes full of water and over 100 people dead? What’s this? Well, it is Hurricane Sandy. Yes, today many are homeless and looking for a way out.

Cars are lined over six miles long waiting their turn for gas. And people are just jacking up those prices of gas now. Unforgivable.

Did you know when we yawn our pet dogs also yawn? Yes, they do yawn and it’s contagious.

Happy birthday to Josh Benjamin on Nov. 10. Have a great day, Josh.

A very happy anniversary to Glen and Lorraine Crosby as they celebrate 67 years together on Nov. 11.

Have a wonderful day.

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

Nov. 12, a happy birthday to Tanner Becker, Bill Pfluger, Donna LaPorte, Jack Skluzacek and Jared Swan who turns 5. All have a wonderful day.

Nov. 12, a very happy birthday to Scott LaVeau on his special day with lots more to come.

Nov. 14, a happy birthday to Zach Myers and Nicole Hoffman on their special day with lots more to come.

Nov. 15, a very happy birthday to Spencer Mitchell as he enjoys his special day with lots more to come.

Halloween was last Wednesday. Did you get a lot of

Halloweeners? Well, I had five great-nieces and nephews come to my house and they were all dressed up so cute.

Do you want to know where the largest farm in the world is? Well, it’s located in Vietnam. They have 2,300 cows now, and by 2015 they will be putting out 300 tons of milk a day. Now they are putting out 200 tons a day.

Wow! I’d sure like to have their milk checks. I’d settle for a few months’.

Deer season opened in Minnesota and imagine those hunters are just thrilled to be out in the great outdoors.

Talking with Sandy Redding, we find her honey had another chemo treatment on Friday. They have hired a fellow from Sarona to work on their porch. Jeff and Dee and son Spencer, and Tim and Chris Redding and son Chase were up on Saturday where the girls made dinner for the Reddings.

Jackie Perelt, Mike and Nancy Murray, Nicole and Jameson, Gina Schnell and Steve Hulleman were guests at Diane Hulleman’s for supper. Dinner guests at Diane’s were Jackie and Gina, and they all enjoyed dinner (leftovers) on Sunday.

Jim and Sandy Atkinson were over to their daughter and son-in-law’s, Lisa and Dan Otto, on Sunday enjoying dinner and a good visit.

An update on Don Crunnes. We find Don had a triple bypass this past week and at this time is still in the hospital. Cards would be appreciated. His address is in last week’s Washburn County Register.

Marv Knoop tells us he and his honey are continuing to work putting up wood.

Oh those two puppies I have. They wrestle around and fight all the time. Rammy just tears right into Rory and away they go. Rammy is so little, I’m amazed that he isn’t afraid of Rory.

Son Richey has been hauling big bales of corn fodder home and is hauling big bales of hay he baled earlier this summer.

Friday found Paula Cramer coming from Eau Claire to spend time with me. We cleaned the entryway to start with. Friday night we went out to supper at the Hilltop, and we enjoyed barbecued ribs and it was so darn good. This was the first time Paula has been to the Hilltop and she enjoyed it. Paula left for home about 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

We have a huge flock of starlings around here. About 300, and they light on the lawn or on the highline.

Loretta VanSelus was home, had the TV on and was watching for those Green Bay Packers as they play today. Butch was working.

Jim Toll tells us his son, Terry, was up for a week.

While up, he was cutting wood for Jim. The two went out to eat twice while Terry was here. Jim told me he had one trick-or-treater at his house. It was Bill Taubman.

Glen and Lorraine Crosby attended the harvest dinner at the Timberland church on Sunday. Lorraine says it was very good.

Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan were home for the weekend at Garry and Beth Crosby’s.

Saturday evening, Beth and Garry had an early Thanksgiving supper for their kids, Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann, Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia, and Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan.

Scatter sunshine. Have a great week.

Folks have been adjusting to the time change, and by the time you read this, the big election will be over and concentration will be on the approaching deer season and getting on the buck boards in the bars in hopes of bagging the big one.

The annual meal-in-a-peel holiday bazaar and bake sale will be held at the Sarona Methodist Church fellowship hall on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 11 a.m. till 2 p.m. Cost is only $6, children under 5 free. Hope to see you there.

Bishop Jung visited at the Sarona Methodist Church last Tuesday, Oct. 30. He was greeted by Gene Romsos, Charlotte Ross, Sam and Debbie Detrent, Virginia Sandridge, Elfreda West and Ray and Debbie Johnson. At

the conclusion, Gene impressed the bishop by ringing the church bell. He complimented on the remodeling, the outdoor service area and the craft efforts in preparation for the bazaar. It was short conversation time to voice hopes for our church.

Put Dorothy Esser on your prayer chain. She was in an auto accident near Haugen a week ago Friday evening and has been at St. Mary’s in Rochester, Minn.

It was reported she may be getting out soon.

Virginia Stodola visited Randy and Rita Baker on Saturday afternoon, and on Sunday she visited her nephew, Harvey Johnson at INTEG-RI Care in Rice Lake.

Nancy and Russ F. had family in for Halloween eve supper. It was their boys and their gals, grands Jillian and Jaxson, sister Sue and Tooker, and his folks, Bun and Margaret Weather from Glenview, Kerrie Gambodi and myself for a meal. Some of the family wore costumes. I only had four little ones for trick-or-treaters the next night.

Gloria Frey had Mavis Schlapper, Elfreda West and myself in on Friday afternoon for her belated birthday, so we had plenty to nibble on and visit about. Gloria’s Christmas cactus was in full bloom, absolutely beautiful.

The Spooner Class of 1950 will meet on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at noon, at Tracks this month. Just a reminder.

Marlene Hanson had Bill and Val Smith over one evening to meet and visit with her friend, Jack, a former classmate.

There was a fire at Bill and Val Smith’s in their shed.

The fire department did a great job of saving the structure. They were not home, but a passerby saw it. Her brother, Rick Raeser, and Russ F. got there to help get the equipment out.

Sunday afternoon, Kari Morris, Shell Lake, came out.

We went to Rice Lake for lunch and we bowled a couple of lines at Rand’s Lanes. Had a nice afternoon together while her husband, John, was in Racine for the weekend.

In the evening, I went with daughter Mary and John, son Brian Marschall and his girlfriend, Jade LaFave, to Bona Casa, where we met Sara and Kyle, Brady and Ashley, John’s mom Wealthy, from Amery, and brother Daryl, of Hudson, to celebrate his 46th birthday. Belated wishes to him.

Bev Helmer’s friend, Ben from Waldo, came up on Friday to help her celebrate her birthday.

Chelsie Dennies, Autumn and Alexis of Rice Lake, came to Cindy and Roger Furchtenicht’s for Saturday night supper. Grandpa Rog and Casey brought the twins over to see Great-grandma Marian.

Heart Lake news by Helen V. Pederson

Is there any other news than the election and Hurricane Sandy? We’ve got to feel sorry for the East Coast who are really suffering. No electricity for so many and what a mess. It’s good to be in the Midwest.

Congratulations to Jude and Myron Bolterman who celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on the 30th of October.

They went to their favorite place to eat …

Foxxy’s. That’s not bad.

Spending the weekend with the Boltermans was Jude’s brother Chuck, and Mary Campbell of Appleton.

Did you happen to watch “60 Minutes” on Sunday evening? Aaron Rodgers was interviewed. Very interesting and great for the Packers who won this past Sunday against Arizona.

Tam Smith had a group of her young piano students here on Thursday to give us a little concert. Good job and thanks Tam. Curt Pederson and Eric Minot were helping Peder Pederson last week.

Glad to have Opal Gothblad back after her recent stay away.

Sunday night, Mary and John Marshall along with Brady and Ashley, Sara and Kyle Mathison, Brian and Jade, Marion Furchenicht, Darryl and Wealthy Marshall

all gathered at Bona Casa in Cumberland to celebrate Darryl Marshall’s birthday.

Birthday greetings Darryl.

Get well wishes to my friend Mary Dunn who had eye surgery last week in Minneapolis.

On Sunday Arlys Santiago took Ruth Swan and myself to church. We all went to Timberland Lutheran Church for their harvest dinner. We got to see the new addition that is being done. It was a very good dinner and I believe their church will be beautiful when completed. It was a beautiful ride out into the country. Most of the trees may have lost their leaves, but it was still beautiful.

Elsa Bigton Odden came to take Milton and Jean Odden to church in Timberland on Sunday since Phillip is out West hunting.

When a man says it’s a silly childish game, it’s probably something his wife can beat him at.

Have a great week.

Barronett by Judy Pieper

Halloween sneaked up on me this year; I was totally unprepared. We normally don’t get too many little trick-ortreaters here, so we don’t buy a lot of candy, but we usually have a bunch of jack-o’-lanterns carved anyway. Well, on Halloween afternoon I grabbed a couple of pumpkins from Bob’s truck in Cumberland, came home and frantically started to get one ready to carve. (That was at about 3:45 p.m.) I was standing at the kitchen sink, my hands full of pumpkin gunk, when I saw two adorable little girls coming up to the back door. It was Beatrice and Desiree Anderson, with fancy little dresses on, accompanied by their mom, Justina, and grandma, Sandy Albee. I wiped as much goo off my hands as possible and hurried to the door to give the little cuties their treats.

They are such sweet little girls. Desiree even threw kisses to me until they were out of sight.

I went back in and started working on the pumpkin again but didn’t quite get it carved when Shirley Overvig stopped by. She thought she was going to be able

to relax for a couple of minutes over a cup of coffee. Ha! That was not going to happen. I had her carve the second pumpkin. She’s a lot more artistic than I am and hers looked much better than mine, so I’m glad we didn’t have anyone vote on the best on this year.

Before Shirley was done with her pumpkin, Tru Lehmann came trick-ortreating with her mom, Alyse, and grandma, Suzy. She was dressed as a little pirate and just cuter than heck. She even had a long dangling earring on. Of course, it was attached to a hair band instead of her ear, but it looked pretty piratelike anyway.

Shirley and I finally got our pumpkins outside and put lighted candles in them so they would be there to welcome the rest of the trick-or-treaters. Guess what – there were no more trick-or-treaters. We only had three. I’m really glad I didn’t buy a lot of candy. I think most of the Barronett kids went to the party at the community center on Saturday instead of going around to houses this year.

A

plastic surgeon once said to me, “You need a face-lift! Why don’t we schedule it right now?” Quickly I responded, “I know what my face looks like. It can curdle the Milky Way. But do you know what is better than a face-lift?” Without waiting for an answer I added, “A faith-lift.” One day, I am going to be with the great physician, and I will be completely new and not need a face-lift or anything else. I have faith in his promises that someday there will be no more wrinkles or scars, twisted fingers or bent backs. All of our pains will be gone and our sicknesses healed.

The directions for getting a faith-lift come from his word. It says that, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” As we read and study Scripture, our faith will flourish and our hope will increase. The word of God assures us that someday all of our suffering and sickness will be gone, and we will become perfect and complete in his presence.

I didn’t get to the Halloween party at the community center because our granddaughter, Olivia Marsh, was competing in the Ultimate Talent Connection’s Dance and Twirling Spooktacular at the Superior High School that same day. Olivia is a member of Your Turn to Dance, and her troupe won a first-place gold on their routine, “Nightmare.” Olivia also took fourth in her age group with her solo, “Back in Time.” The competition featured jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical, hip-hop, twirling and musical theater. The kids were very talented and it was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Oak View adult family home hosted a Halloween party for adults with special needs on Friday evening. There were about 25 guests and everyone seemed to be having lots of fun. There was plenty of food to eat, with cupcakes for dessert. Special gratitude is extended to Peg Thompson, who loaned us the CD player. The music made the party memorable. One young man was up on stage playing air guitar and singing, and a lot of the guests got up to dance. The party was such a success that we plan to have parties at the community center several times a year.

Jim and Wrigley Marsh and I were among the hundreds of people who went to the lutefisk supper at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Campia this past weekend. We had a wonderful time, I got to visit with a lot of old friends while we were there. I showed Jim the picture of Mom’s confirmation class and he was surprised to see how much she looked like his Aunt Vivian. Les Olsen and Margaret Madison were at the dinner and Les mentioned that Timberland Lutheran was having a ham dinner the next day so … on Sunday I ate out again. I went over to Timberland and had their ham dinner with Les. I had a chance to visit with lots of people

there too, which was great. The members of Timberland Lutheran made us feel very welcome, the food was delicious and I found a couple of things I just couldn’t live without at their craft sale.

Barronett Lutheran’s Scandinavian dinner is coming up soon. This year it will be on Saturday, Dec. 1, and will be held at the Barronett Community Center again. We hope you will be able to join us. We have lots of delicious food, crafts and baked good. Look for the red flyers on the bulletin boards around town for details or give me a call.

Trust me on this, I will be reminding you about this dinner a few more times before the actual date.

There was a surprise birthday party for Dean Jerry at Barronett Bar on Sunday. Actually, it was supposed to be a surprise, but the party planners had to fess up a little early.

Dean was planning to go to Menards for materials to fix up his deer stand, he had no intention of going to the bar right then, so his friends finally had to tell him about the “surprise” in order to get him there. There were lots of friends to celebrate with him, lots of excellent food, the cake was delicious, and, of course, the Packers were fantastic.

I talked to Aunt Helen Hefty Sunday evening. She is doing very well, and asked that I tell everyone hello from her. She and her son, Burt, are both Army veterans and had been to the American Legion in Albany for a breakfast in honor of veterans on Saturday morning. Aunt Helen will be 92 in January and still keeps very busy. We love her.

The Thomas St. Angelo Library in Cumberland is going to have our favorite Barronett chef, Jeno Herman, preparing turducken on Thursday, Nov. 15, at 5:30 p.m.

A turducken is a deboned chicken within a deboned duck within a deboned turkey. The turducken will be given away at the end of

tion for being so patient with her.

By the time you read this we will all know who our next president will be. It seems like such a close race that I don’t think anyone is making any predictions. I’ll just be glad when it’s over. I hope whichever man wins will be the best for our country. I just kind of wonder if we’ll get as many phone calls after the election asking us whether or not we think the winners are doing a good job.

Hmmmm. We’re all so important right up to Election Day, but they seem to forget us after that. Maybe I’m just getting a little cycnical in my old age.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Hope you’re enjoying this nice weather while it lasts. See you later.

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio DULUTH, Minn. - Hurricane Sandy and the ensuing superstorm may be a result of global warming. Or maybe not.

Professor Tom Johnson tracks the world’s biggest lakes for changes. He’s a regents geology professor at the University of Minnesota-Duluth’s Large Lakes Observatory.

From Africa to the Arctic, he’s seeing lake and climate temperatures increase. But he can’t pin the Sandy superstorm on that. “It’s really impossible to say that any given event like Hurricane Katrina or this particular storm is due to global climate change.

There’s no question that the global climate is changing. There’s no question that it is due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human activities. But to pin down any single storm event to that phe-

nomenon is impossible to do.”

But Johnson says climate models show global warming is causing more severe storms, more tornadoes and more drought.

He says that’s why climate change should be, but isn’t, part of this year’s political debate, “And that’s very disappointing to me. I do think that we need to step back and look at the bigger picture, the economics of all the situation. The predictions are that dramatic climate change will be exceedingly expensive. I think it’s the most serious environmental problem that we humans have ever faced.”

He says the warmer climate will increase the size of the areas prone to drought in the United States and Africa. Johnson says that will cause those regions to cast a covetous eye in the direction of the Great Lakes for fresh water.

Heidi Westgaard

Name: Heidi Westgaard Age: 17 Brothers and sisters: One older sister Home country: Asker, Norway, a town of 55,000 people Host family name: Janet and Kent Oakland How long is your program: I’m staying a full year.

First impression of the United States: It is a beautiful country, but since this is my fourth time to the United States, I was amazed there were so many lanes of traffic in Los Angeles.

The first time I came with my family to the U.S., I was 13 and we landed in Oregon where we visited relatives and then we drove down Hwy. 1 all the way to LA. It was a three-week trip in all. The second time we came, it was so my sister and I could go to a youth leadership camp in San FranHeidi Westgaard is a foreign exchange student cisco. I was age 15. My mother, sister at Spooner High School. — Photo by Diane Dryden and I took a bus to Arizona and spent five days there and then a bus trip to LA where we spent two days and then we went back to Oregon.

In the fall of 2010, my family all came back for two weeks in Florida, which included a cruise to the Bahamas. This time I came as a student. We landed in New York and I got to see that, too.

Why did you pick the United States: Since I had already been to America three times, and I had a friend who was also going to be an exchange student here, I decided yes also to go.

What do your parents do: My father is an engineer who maps the sea bottoms for cables, and my mom sells health products from home.

What do you think of American food: It’s not too different from what I ate at home, although we don’t have things like meat loaf, and we eat more fish.

Which American food has become your favorite: Bars like the rice crispy bars and cake.

Is there a worst food: Well, our candy is better at home, more natural flavors.

Here it’s too artificial, and there is no salt licorice here.

New favorite activity: Volleyball, we have no sports at home. Homecoming was fun, especially during dress-up week. There is school spirit here.

What do you miss most from home: I miss my dog, Oscar, who is a golden retriever; my host family has a golden Lab mix, and he’s almost the same.

How has this trip helped in your future profession: I would like to come back to the United States and go to college to become an interior designer. Scandinavian houses are different from here. We mostly have a large space that holds many rooms in them, and some of them are so starkly furnished they look soulless to me.

What surprised you the most about the U.S.: Everyone drives everywhere they need to go. At home I walk 2K to a store for groceries and then carry them back.

Here everyone drives even the shortest distances. The school is different here, too. At home we can only take electives, like photography, drama, music, dance and mechanics the last three years. We only have general classes up until then.

What will you be buying to take back or send home for Christmas: Packers jerseys, M&M’s, school T-shirts.

What are you involved with here: Church. I do not go to church at home, but here we go the Trinity Lutheran Church.

What are you involved with back home: Skiing. I’m in an after-school ski club and may join the ski club here.

Describe yourself: I might seem shy until you get to know me. I don’t like public speaking, and I always try to be as nice as possible. I am happy my parents are coming at the end of May, and will be staying a month to see the East Coast.
