Homicide case status conference rescheduled

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY - Just after midnight on July 25, Jess R. Carsello, 48, called 911 to report he had just shot Michael Elliot, 31.

Carsello stated he shot him in self-defense. When deputies arrived, they found Carsello in the woods near his home. It was apparent that he was under the influence. When deputies entered the home of Carsello, they found Elliot laying face down with six gunshot wounds. Elliot had been shot from behind, and at least two of those six shots were fired while he was already down. Elliot also had cuts and bruises on his body. When Carsello was questioned, he told deputies he had been drinking with Elliot when things “got weird.” He said he shot Elliot out of fear for his life.

Carsello was taken to the Washburn County Jail and on Aug. 5, he was charged with first-degree intentional homicide.

On Monday, Oct. 18, Carsello posted a $100,000 cash bond and was released with the requirement that he wear an ankle monitor bracelet at all times.

The status conference set for Wednesday, Dec. 22, was moved to Monday, Jan. 3. Judge Babbitt, from Barron County,

Victim’s motion for retrial denied

DECEMBER 29, 2010 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE - A request for a retrial in the case of a 67-year-old Spooner woman who was awarded $10,000 in a personal injury claim was denied by Judge Eugene Harrington in a ruling handed down Thursday, Dec. 23.

A jury awarded the woman $10,000 in the case after she testified that the man, William R. Baugh, 47, had come into her home univited in August of 2006 and sexually assaulted her. Baugh was a prison inmate who had been doing work

detail for her.

The woman and her attorney, John C. Grindell, asked the court to approve a motion for a retrial lawsuit against the driver, Jeff Hamblin, the Indianhead Community Action Agency and the Admiral Insurance Company, and the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services.

The woman suffered physical and mental injuries from the attack. Baugh was subsequently sentenced to six to nine years of prison time. This charge

was bundled with other charges and part of a plea agreement.

Hamblin was hired as an installer to supervise Gordon inmates when they went out on jobs for the agency. Hamblin offered no explanation for bringing the inmate, Baugh, to the woman’s home that early morning. Hamblin did not provide “reasonable care” in his decision. Hamblin was fired from ICAA because he was not supposed to leave Baugh unsupervised, which was what allegedly happened on the morning of

the incident.

In explaining his denial for a retrial, Harrington stated that sexual assault is the worst possible assault besides a deadly assault. He made it a point to tell everyone involved that it is not for the court to replace the jury’s decision with its own. The jury based the decision on the evidence they were given, and whether or not the court agrees with the decision, it is reasonable given the evidence they were provided with.

and Spooner have been circulating nominating papers in December to get on the April ballot.

(See separate stories for caucus dates).

Caucuses are grassroots democracy.

Every voter living in a town can take part in the caucus but many caucuses have a low turnout. In some cases, less than a full slate of candidates is nominated.

Caucuses must be held between the first and last Tuesday in January. In 2011, caucuses may be held from Jan. 4 through Jan. 25. Citizens gather at a designated time, choose a chairperson for the meeting and nominate persons to be placed on the April ballot.

Towns have a town chair and two supervisors. They also have a town clerk

and treasurer. All the officials serve twoyear terms, and all the positions are up next April. There are some exceptions.

The towns of Gull Lake, Springbrook and Stone Lake have combined the positions of clerk and treasurer. The town of Minong has made the position of clerk/treasurer an appointed position. It also has expanded it town board to five members with two supervisors elected in the even-numbered years. And the town elects a constable.

Nominations take place in two ways.

A common method is to use paper ballots to place a name in nomination. An alternate method is spoken nominations.

Nominees present can remove their names from consideration. A person does not need to be present to be nomi-

nated. Two candidates can be nominated for each position.

If the nomination process produces the number of candidates allowed for the ballot, for example four names for two supervisor seats, a motion can be made to accept the nomination list as the final list. When more than the maximum number of candidates are nominated, a vote is held to narrow the list to the allowed number.

Persons do not need to be present to be nominated, but all nominees must accept the nomination within five days of notification of the caucus results. If a candidate declines the nomination, the ballot spot remains empty.

A citizen’s guide to nominating caucuses

Residents to decide who will be on April ballot

by Gregg Westigard WASHBURN COUNTY - Residents in the 21 Washburn County towns and the village of Birchwood will soon get to decide who will run for their boards in the April election.

Candidates for all the town government offices will be nominated by caucuses during January. In addition, the terms of Birchwood Village president and two members of the village council are up in April. Candidates for village and city offices in Minong, Shell Lake

Birchwood Village holds caucus Jan. 4 Will nominate candidates for April election

by Gregg Westigard BIRCHWOOD – Residents of Birchwood Village can decide who will be on the April ballot for village president and the open council seats when they go to their nominating caucus Tuesday, Jan. 4.

Up for election next April are the seats held by village President Morris Gillett and two trustees, Rebecca Darkow and Stacie Small. While most villages have

seven-person councils, Birchwood has chosen to have a five-person council.

All village residents of voting age can take part in the caucus which will nominate up to two candidates for each seat.

Nominated persons don’t need to be at the caucus, but if a person nominated is not present and declines the nomination, that spot stays blank on the ballot.

The village of Minong and the cities of Spooner and Shell Lake use nominating papers to place candidates on the ballot.

Those papers are being circulated now with a deadline of Tuesday, Jan. 4, for getting on the ballot.

School parking lot proposal

Washburn towns hold nominating caucuses in January

Few voters take part in candidate selection process

by Gregg Westigard WASHBURN COUNTY – Round two of the spring election cycle starts next week.

Local residents get a chance to gather with their neighbors in January and decide who will be on the April ballot for positions on the town boards. Nominating caucuses are a grassroots process where residents decide who will make the decisions on their town boards, the basic level of local government. Very few people show up for these meetings.

The common message heard during calls to get the caucus dates was that there is little involvement and little interest in serving on town boards. Incum-

bents sometimes run for new terms because no one else is willing to serve.

All 21 towns in the Washburn County will hold nominating caucuses between Jan. 4 to Jan. 25. Many of the caucuses are held on Saturdays to encourage attendance. Up for election are the town chairs and two supervisors. In addition, the positions of town clerks and treasurers are also up in April.

Here are the dates for the caucuses in Washburn County. Call your town clerk for the time and location of the caucus.

Barronett - Jan. 8, Bashaw - Jan. 11, Bass Lake - Jan. 10, Beaver Brook - Jan. 11, Birchwood- Jan. 10, Brooklyn - Jan. 11, Casey - Jan. 12, Chicog - Jan. 8, Crystal Jan. 11, Evergreen - Jan. 10, Frog Creek Jan. 4, Gull Lake - Jan. 11, Long Lake Jan. 22, Madge - Jan. 12, Minong - Jan. 10, Sarona - Jan. 10, Spooner - Jan. 11, Springbrook - Jan. 11, Stinnett - Jan. 8, Stone Lake - Jan. 11 and Trego - Jan. 8.

ReadyWisconsin hopes you don’t drop the ball

Resolve to be Ready in 2011

The Shell Lake School Board now has the preliminary drawings for the new primary school parking lot. The board is working with MSA Professional Services Project Engineer Teresa Anderson. Anderson will update the design and present updates with cost estimates at a future board meeting. At that time, the board will determine whether to proceed with the project, which is meant to make drop-off easier and safer creating less congestion of buses and cars of parents.

MADISON – The new year is a perfect time to Resolve to be Ready, and ReadyWisconsin is proud to promote emergency preparedness for 2011.

Sponsored by Wisconsin Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Ready campaign, Resolve to be Ready is a nationwide effort designed to increase awareness and to encourage individuals, families, businesses and communities to take action and prepare for emergencies in the new year.

Americans who make New Year’s resolutions are 11 times more likely to report continued success in changing a problem than comparable individuals who have not made a resolution, according to the Journal of Clinical Psychology.

ReadyWisconsin would like to make an emergency preparedness resolution easy to keep by providing the tools and resources needed to take the three impor-

tant steps: Get an emergency supply kit; make a family emergency plan and be informed about the types of emergencies that can happen and how to respond to them.

Emergencies can range from inconvenient to devastating, but by making this resolution and following these simple steps in advance, you will minimize the impact on you, your family and your businesses and give yourself greater peace of mind.

For more information and tips to keep your family safe, go to readywisconsin.wi.gov or www.ready.gov.

ReadyWisconsin is a campaign from Wisconsin Emergency Management with a mission to prepare individuals, families and businesses for emergencies and disasters.

Where to write

Letters to the editor Not long ago, Mike Pence, U.S. Congressman who is testing the waters for a presidential run, was given lots of face time on a Republican morning TV news show. One of the talking heads asked him how he squared his position of voting against extending unemployment to the 2 million who will be cut off between now and New Year’s Eve, and his other position of demanding Americans extend the Bush/Cheney tax cuts to our millionaire citizens. He answered, “my heart goes out to them, but we are all sharing in the pain of this economy. My wife and I sit at the kitchen table with the calculator and decide where to cut our personal expenses.”

Pence earns $174,000 and his wife, Karen, has income from her salary as an elementary schoolteacher and sales from her artwork.

Really? Has he lost his high-wage job? Has his wife lost hers? Are they in danger of losing their home? Do their kids have to drop out of school? Has he lost his government-sponsored health-

Heads up

care coverage? Does he wonder how to buy gas to conduct his job search? Does he struggle between buying groceries and medicine? Is he cutting his pills in half like some elders are now doing? Is he sinking into a dangerous depression, evidenced by increased family violence and suicide?

How dare he insult us by saying over and over, “my heart goes out to them....”? By the way, he also says he and his family are, “prayerfully considering his run for president.” Just a little heads-up into his “heart,” America.

After this interview D.C. Republicans also voted against extending tax cuts to middle income and below citizens, blocked a child nutrition bill and increased threats to shut down our entire government.

Democrats, on the whole, care about ordinary people over corporations, hedge-fund managers and millionaires.

The following is a continuation of the accounting of the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese air and sea attack on Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu. After the two initial bombing attacks that were mainly aimed at airfields and aircraft, the third was concentrated on the adjoining oil fields John and the masFrischmann sive dry docks.

In Washington, D.C., President Franklin D. Roosevelt was editing his notes and adding the words “A date that will live in infamy” in preparation for his speech before the joint houses of Congress the next day. His Army chief of staff handed him the report of the third strike of the 70 aircraft and their damage. There were no further reports since the lines of communication were dead. On the island there were fears of an invasion, which fortunately never materialized. On Oahu itself, as the twohour bombardment of 14- and 16-inch shells from the battleships began to wane, two cruisers began their own attack with their six-, eight-, 10- and 12inch batteries that continued until the early morning of Dec. 8. The areas around Hickam Field, the east coast of Oahu, and other military locations be-

came targets but the main objective was concentrated on the south. The Japanese lost hundreds of their own aircraft, either damaged or completely destroyed, causing their air attacks to halt in order to have air cover if needed for their own defense.

When the president and his staff first heard of the attack, they were utterly confused in the fact that they had no idea from where the Japanese force had come and what was the reason for their action. As history is now aware the Japanese were after the Dutch oil fields in the East Indies. On Pearl there were multiple activities going on. Communications were being scraped together.

More people talking and trying to figure out who can do what and many conversations in Japanese, which many of the islanders spoke.

Fortunately not all the boats in the yards were destroyed, three destroyers got out before the battleship bombardment started and the port became completely blocked. Rear Adm. Draemel with his cruiser flagship Detroit was hung up in the debris and was searching around for anything floating and turning screws. He was picked up by the Ward, one of the destroyers, and the two-boat Navy sailed out to rendezvous with the Minneapolis, which had remained 20 miles out at sea. These three slipped around at 12/14 knots, at a slower speed to keep their wake undetectable from an enemy spotter plane.

The Japanese battleship Hiei, silhouetted by the flames of Pearl, lured the admiral to launch a frontal attack as his spotter called the range out as 9,200 yards, then 9,000 yards. They were in gunnery range. They waited, 8,800

yards. The Ward’s captain informed the admiral that they were in torpedo range. “Wait,” was all he said. “I want it close, real close.” Range 8,400. “Signal all ships, flank speed and engage.” The stern actually sank down as the engines accelerated. Range 8,200 and closing.

They were spotted as shells from the Hiei were leaving geysers far astern.

The destroyers were at full speed. The command from the admiral, “Now charge, … charge.” Range 7,100 yards.

A destroyer on the port was lost. Range 6,400 yards. Range 5,000 yards. Range 2,600 yards. “This is Ward, all ships on my mark prepare to turn in 60 seconds and launch all torpedoes. Then, “Torpedoes away.”

The Hiei was badly damaged from five of the Ward’s torpedoes, and the Minneapolis’ batteries had to be towed back to it’s home port. The Ward and all but 20 of its hands sank. The admiral’s last words, “You did it boys, by God you did it, I’m proud of you.”

This past Dec. 7 was the 69th anniversary, and I think if asked I could remember all words. “Let’s remember Pearl Harbor as we go to meet the foe. Let’s remember Pearl Harbor as we did the Alamo.” This was really the Americans second encounter with the enemy. A short time before the island bombing took place, a U.S. ship had sunk a midget Japanese two-man submarine that was sent to start blocking the harbor. Evidently, this incident was not properly reported and no action was taken. All the above words are to be attributed to the authors of the book “Days of Infamy,” Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen.

Well, how did you do? Did you consciously try reducing this holiday season? How about boxes, bows and wrapping paper, did you save those items you can use for next year’s gifts?

At the very least did you save those great gift bags that can be used year after year?

How about New Year’s resolutions, did you resolve to reduce?

Do you ever look

at your garbage bags sitting there in the cold, awaiting the garbage truck’s arrival to escort them to the landfill? You can do more. Make a conscious effort to recycle every item you can.

• Cardboard, break it down and bring it to eight locations throughout Burnett and Washburn counties. Please remove packing materials.

• Rinse out aluminum and tin cans, set aside newspapers, phone books, and magazines, and start saving all mixed paper - including junk mail and school papers - to bring to 14 locations throughout the RCC service area.

Glass - another “problem-child” of the recycling world) - needs to get placed in the recycling bin. We need to recycle each and every glass and plastic bottle, however, only No. 1 and No. 2 plastic bottles are accepted both curbside and at the 14 area recycling sites. Please rinse bottles and remove caps; automotive bottles - such as motor oil bottles are not accepted.

• Do you have fluorescent bulbs, automotive batteries or appliances to get rid of? Just call Jen at the recycling office for prices and locations at 715-6352197, or e-mail her at jbarton@nwrpc.com. Used oil, oil filters, scrap metal, tires, rechargeable batteries, computer components and cell phones are also collected locally, so ignorance is no longer an excuse; give Jen a call.

Again in 2011, I will be answering questions you may have about recycling and waste management issues via this newspaper and I will respond in the Earth Notes column the following week. Just send questions to jbarton@nwrpc.com. No question is too small; if you have a question or concern you’d better be sure others feel the same and would appreciate answers to their questions as well. Happy new you … I mean New Year!

Barronett by Judy Pieper

This is, without a doubt, the most wonderful time of the year. Friends and family take time out of their very busy schedules to sit and visit.

Things get a little hectic, I know, leading up to Christmas but it’s worth all the work when the family gets together to celebrate.

The Christmas Eve candlelight service at Barronett Lutheran was, as usual, wonderful. The Christmas tree was completely covered with lights and was just beautiful. Gratitude is extended to Rick Stetler and friends for that. The candles were lit on the altar, on the Advent wreath, and on every windowsill. Each member of the congregation held a lighted candle during a part of the service. Passages were read from the book of Luke, and we sang the old familiar Christmas carols. Sitting through the Christmas Eve service always makes me feel that, just maybe, peace on earth is possible.

Richard and Dawn Pieper and Delores and Lloyd Schultz spent Christmas Eve at our house. We had dinner, opened presents, and then went to the candlelight service. Christmas is always fun with them — Richard and Delores always bring us noisy gifts. This year they came with the most ridiculous Santa hat for Duane. It lights up, plays music, if you can call it that, and the top flaps back and forth in time to the

music. Delores is a rabid Green Bay Packer fan, and Duane is a lukewarm Viking fan, so there is always a little back and forth about which team is best. Not much of a contest this year, is it?

Ben Lemke traveled up from the sunny south to spend Christmas with his family. His mom, Shirley Overvig, picked him up at the airport on Saturday, Dec. 18. Shirley hadn’t done any Christmas shopping up to that point, so she and Ben stopped a couple of places on the way home and picked up gifts for the family. On Sunday Merl went to one of the Christmas tree places where people can cut their own tree, got there two hours before they closed for the season and cut a tree to bring home. It wasn’t exactly the shaped tree Shirley expected, but she and Ben decorated it and it looks lovely standing in the front room.

On Wednesday Shirley took Ben to River Falls to visit with his dad. Then on Friday Ben, Shirley and Merl, and Kris, Rick and Drake Vocovich all got together at Mark and Ronalea Lemke’s home in River Falls to celebrate Christmas. Shirley’s granddaughters, Kalea, Elizabeth and Addison, especially enjoyed their evening together, and Kalea and Elizabeth are going to come to Barronett to spend a couple days at the Overvig home this week.

Flu shot clinic a combined effort SPOONER — Combined efforts by Spooner Health System and Indianhead Medical Center, Shell Lake, resulted in over 1,600 people receiving a flu shot this fall.

SHS and IMC held community flu shot clinics at the Washburn County Fairgrounds, Shell Lake United Methodist Church, Stone Lake Senior Center and

Minong Village Hall. Flu shots were offered to the employees of Jack Links, Washburn County, Bosch, Glenview, Care Partners, and Shell Lake and Spooner School districts. They were also made available to all SHS and IMC employees as well as nursing home residents. — from SHS Spooner Health System employees who helped at the flu shot clinics included (L to R): Kathy Boissy, RN, Jill Andrea, RN, Marilyn Norton and Missy Eckburg-Hess, RN. Not pictured: Cheri Bagley, RN, Nancy Olson, RN, Claudia Hagen, RN, Joshua Robinson, RN, and Kelly Bagley, RN.

The Lehmanns had a huge family gathering at the shack on Christmas Eve. The only ones missing this year were Anitia, who was home with the flu, and Randy and John, who were basking in the warm Arizona sun while we were fighting the cold. Poor Anitia — she always organizes everything for the Christmas Eve gathering — I’m sure this is the first time that she was not there. She said that the daughters-in-law got everything done just fine without her help, and that she knew from telephone calls and visits that everyone had a wonderful time but they wished that she could have been there. She was feeling a little better when I talked to her on Monday, but is still taking it easy.

Anitia mentioned that she had a very good time at Jane Koenig’s Christmas party on the 18th. Jane is a wonderful hostess, and every year she hosts a party for all the Rice Lake Marketplace bakery workers. She and Jim love to decorate their home for Christmas, and this year they had six very large trees decorated — three more than last year. Jim and Jane’s son, Jeff, moved up from southern Wisconsin to be with them, and I bet he helped with the decorations. Anitia said that the house was just lovely, the food was delicious and that everyone had a wonderful time.

Pat and Doug Sweet have had a very busy couple weeks. Last Sunday they attended Christmas in the Country at the Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake with Kathy and Corky Straw and Kathy’s daughter and son-in-law, Joyce and Bill Wallace. From Shell Lake, Pat, Kathy, Corky and Joyce traveled to Minnesota to attend the Country Christmas celebration, which featured the singing Lundstrom family.

Doug stayed at home and attended the Sunday school Christmas play at Barronett Lutheran.

Pat and Doug had Christmas at their home with their son, Jason, who traveled up from Madison, and their daughter and grandson, Joanne and Justin. Pat said that they all ate a lot, had lots of fun, and just generally enjoyed being together as a family.

Speaking of eating too much — Duane and I are going to weigh 300 pounds by the time this holiday season is over. We had dinner with the Pieper kids on Christmas Eve, dinner at Pat Olson’s house on Christmas Day and dinner at Suzy and Ryan Lehmann’s house on Sunday.

Just dinner probably wouldn’t hurt us too much, but everyone always has way too many choices for dessert. And, when it’s too hard to choose, we naturally had to sample most of them. I’ll just oink when I’m full.

I stopped by to visit with Chuck and Irene Hansen in McKinley for a few minutes this past week. Their home was beautifully decorated for Christmas, with lots of lights and ornaments.

Their son, granddaughter and grandson had traveled from Vancouver Island to spend Christmas with them. I didn’t get a chance to meet the grandson, as he had gone into Cumberland for something, but chatted with their son and granddaughter. I even learned a few things that I never knew about Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I really have to get out more. Anyway, we had a very nice visit and I’m sure that Chuck and Irene had a fantastic

Christmas with their family.

Sounds like Terry Goodrich — aka the friendly neighborhood moocher — had a very nice Christmas. He said that his relatives in the Twin Cities must have felt sorry for him, being alone in the backwoods and all, and invited him down to their place for Christmas. He said that he had a hard time convincing them that we do have some modern conveniences up here — such as electricity — and that there are actually dogs that stay outside all year long.

They must have some of those little sissy city dogs that need all the comforts of home.

OK, maybe they had never heard about our macho dogs, but they taught Terry a few city things too. However, I have to warn you that you should not try these things at home! One of the things they do is give a little guy, about 4 years old, a ride on a toilet plunger. Seems they stick the plunger on the little one’s belly, pick him up, and gently swing him back and forth.

Another is called a broom ride. They have a huge snow pile right below the second-floor balcony and they have the kids sit on a broom, swing them over the railing, and drop them into the snowbank. I told you not to try this at home, didn’t I? The kids love it. And the mom assured Terry that the plunger was a new, unused one. Well, I should certainly hope so. Terry said that the food was great and that he had a wonderful time with his brother, nieces and nephews.

Of course it wouldn’t be a moocher Christmas without him getting a lot of food. When he called on Sunday evening he said that he had already received four pies and cookies galore.

One of the bakers was Mary Dolan, who brought over a woods pie. She’s a member of the Vanek family, you know, and that family is famous for being great cooks and bakers.

Later that evening Terry called again and said that Mae and Janet Broome had stopped by with a cherry pie. How spoiled can one man get? After all those pies and cookies, maybe he would appreciate a hot-dish. What do you think, ladies? Anyone have a good casserole recipe out there?

Sounds like Merl Overvig is competing with Terry for the moocher title. I’m afraid he has a long way to go to be as good at mooching as Terry. Anyway, he heard that Anitia and I were making lefse last week and stopped by to see if he could talk us out of a few pieces. Unfortunately we had finished making the lefse and I wasn’t home when he came by, so he went home empty-handed. Better luck next time, Merl.

Can you believe we are almost done with 2010? I hope you have a very happy new year.

I’d love to hear what some of your New Year’s resolutions are. I haven’t thought about it yet, but I’ll let you know what I’m going to try to change about myself, and then I’ll let you know how badly I fail. I bet there are a lot of things you could think of that I should change. You can let me know about that too.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Hope you had a wonderful year in 2010, and that 2011 is even better for you. See you next time.

“You can’t change the past, but you’ll ruin the present by worrying about the future.” ~ anonymous ••• It’s the time of year once again when some of us review our life and some of our habits and perhaps are challenged to some type of self-improvement for the New Year.

There are the usual things we resolve to do like eating healthier, exercising more. For some a new goal may be saving more money than in the past. Perhaps this is the year to seriously try to reduce, reuse and recycle items rather than just tossing them in a landfill.

Maybe this is the year you will try a new hobby.

With the use of the Internet and texting, people are coming up with new terms and spelling Suzanne for more traditional words. HobJohnson byists are also coming up with their own terminology.

by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake Whenever an old year ends and we beckon in a new year, I am reminded of the song often sung as the new year begins. It is called “Auld Lang Syne,” written by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. It is played and sung at every gathering and inspires hope for the beginning of a prosperous new year. It is not limited to Scotland or the British Isles, but echoes throughout our nation to commemorate the new year.

Robert Burns was born in 1759 in Alloway, South Ayrshire. He was the oldest of seven children and lived at first in a house built by his father. Later, in 1766, the family moved to a 70-acre farm nearby. They were very poor and he worked hard growing up. He went on to become famous throughout the world for his poems and songs.

He collected folk songs and sometimes changed them to his own versions. He wrote in his native language, but he also wrote in English and that brought him fame.

He had a feeling for folklore and wanted to pass on the old sayings, verses and songs of the common people.

His farm background and the way he conducted his life brought him little recognition from the higher classes in Scotland.

The ordinary people liked him. He was called “Scotland’s favorite son,” and his image has been pictured on currency and stamps. There are many statues of this famous poet. His fame continues. In 2009 he was voted by the Scottish public “the Greatest Scot” by a Scottish television channel.

He is said to have written the lyrics of the song for the start of the new year from a poem he wrote earlier.

The poem is dated 1788. Before that, a man named James Watson wrote a poem called “Old Long Syne.” It was Robert Burns’ song that became traditional to be sung to bring in the new year.

I was reading the book, “The Life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle” by John Dickson Carr. He told of how Doyle went to a small town in Scotland where J. M. Barrie was born and raised, Kuriemuir. He said, “The guidfolk, for the life of them, could not understand how Barrie came

to have such a reputation in London; aye, and to make money out of books. It was not only perplexing, it was maddening.” He went on, “Some people here think that Barrie’s fame is due to the excellence of his handwriting. Others think that he prints the books himself and hawks them around London. When he goes for a walk they stalk him, and watch him from behind trees to find out how he does it.”

One can imagine the poet Robert Burns in such a place, but rather than followers, looking at him from afar, he would have had a way with the common people. He would have been sitting down to have a wee drink with the men and getting them to tell him stories and sing the old songs.

The song, “Auld Lang Syne,” became a folk song in Europe and was brought to America by the Scottish people who came to live in this country. It is really a song about forgiveness. What better time to forgive oth-

ers than when a new year is beginning? Most of the words of the song may be forgotten from year to year, but some of the words are unforgettable.

“Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot And days o’ old lang syne?”

The song ends with:

“And there’s a hand my trusty friend and give us a hand o’ thine And we’ll take a right goodwill draught, For auld lang syne.”

I hope everyone enjoys a happy and prosperous new year.

They left us in 2010

March Berwyn O. Endicott, Annette Talbert, Lucille F. Brown, Thomas A. Morrison, John T. Bradshaw Jr., Pamela Paulson, Stella F. Schreiber, David A. Rock, Scott J. Christenson, Betty “Nan” A. Strenke and Margaret A. Haupt.

As we reflect back on 2010, we pause to think of those who have left us. Names of the people whose obituaries were printed in the Register from January through June were:

Here’s how to have a happy new year: Enjoy God’s presence. He promises, “Fear not; for I am with thee.” With God’s spirit within you, his angels around you, his arms beneath you, you are more than sufficient for the year before you.

Engage God’s power. He promises, “I will strengthen thee.” For each load you’ll have his lift and for each trial his triumph.

Enlist God’s provision. The Bible promises, “My God shall supply all your needs.” God is good enough, great enough, wise enough and understanding enough for anything you need.

Experience God’s pardon. The Bible promises, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us.” But God wants you to be a victor, not a victim.

So trust him!

News day was early again this week. I almost forgot as I was preparing to have my family in on Thursday evening. Too much on my mind, I guess.

My daughter, Cindy Wilkans, Fox River Grove, Ill., arrived Tuesday night but had to go back on Christmas Day so we celebrated early.

At least the weather warmed some but the snow made for more shoveling and plowing.

Dick and Charlotte Shover had a Christmas open house and served a buffet Saturday evening. I didn’t make it as I was getting ready for our farm party. There were some of their neighbors and some new folks from Little Ripley neighborhood. Report was that it was very nice.

Jim and Nancy Swanson were busy with Christmas gift and food program for the Shell Lake Lions this week. They helped shop, package and distribute some of the boxes.

Dick and Marie King are to be commended for their timing. They flew out of the Twin Cities with Dick’s sister, Jacquie, and her husband, Gene, for Cancun Saturday, the day of the blizzard, and spent a week enjoying sunshine and warm temps.

Last Monday, Bob and Rudene Kruegar delivered treat plates by the CCW church group to Virginia Stodola and visited.

Barb Schaefer and children, Shania, Isaac and Colton, Shell Lake, brought homemade cookies and visited Virginia Stodola Wednesday evening.

Marlene Hansen of Charm and Ryan Furchtenicht of Hansen Concrete had their work party together Friday

night in Mikana at Quillen’s Big Bear.

Fuernot Farm had their annual employee party with 35 attending. Did the usual, had a pool tournament, games, lots of food and also celebrated John Roeser’s 55th birthday. It was held at Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht’s. Many more happy ones like that, John!

Fuernot Farms former employee, David Granzin, recently returned from Afghanistan where he served the past year with the Army Reserve.

Elfreda West had lunch and visited me on Sunday.

Bev Helmer and Elaine Ryan visited Monday.

Howard and Jean Furchtenicht visited me on Wednesday and got to see Cindy, Roger and also Mary Jane and Sara, who had stopped in, too. So we had a great visit.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Tim Albee and Evelyn Hunt, Dec. 30; Caprice Elliott who turns 7, and Carol Rice, Dec. 31; Janet Zimmerman, Rick Roeser, Larry Sutherland, Kirsten Gustafson, Cindy Furchtenicht, Brianna Schaefer and Troy Busick, Jan. 1; Leona Sandquist, Jan. 2; Dean Schlapper, Brenda Gagner, Leonard Lang, Jan. 3; Faith Ann Kubista, Kraig Scribner, Delores Zaloudek, Benjamin Fischer, Larry Holt, Jan. 4; Ann Roulick, Dort Lombard’s sister who resides in Durand in the nursing home, is also celebrating a birthday.

We wish a happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Gagner on Dec. 31.

Happy New Year from Sarona folks!

Beth Crosby had the pleasure of playing grandma Friday afternoon when she had her grandson, Chase Crosby, for the day. His parents, Chad and Ashley Crosby, and Ashley’s parents attended the graduation of Ashley’s sister, Jenna, from college. Thursday Beth helped the women from the American Legion Auxiliary at Indian Creek hall with Santa and Mrs. Claus coming there for Santa’s workshop and delivering gifts to the wee ones. Beth said they had a great turnout and it was fun. Wendy Jerry was in charge of this event. Later everyone had goodies before they left for their homes.

Sunday, Garry Crosby and his little grandson, Isaac Crosby, went looking for a Christmas tree to put up.

At this time my Sunshine remains at Eau Claire with our daughter, Paula. He has to remain near a big hospital until later. Paula is right on top of everything and she is our angel. We’re hoping he will continue to get stronger as time goes on and eventually come home to our farm.

Gosh that fruit from the Shell Lake FFA students is great. It’s so sweet and juicy. Hopefully everyone has got some to enjoy.

Table Talk: With the New Year 2011 upon us, what is one thing that you definitely want to do and make sure you do it?

Congratulations to Stephanie Pederson who graduated from UW-Eau Claire on Saturday. She is the daughter of Tim and Sue Pederson of Amherst. Attending were Marie and Warren Quam and Janie and Rick Lauterbach and family along with other relatives. Way to go, Steph!

Sunday, Marie and Warren Quam attended a birthday party at Rick and Janie

Lauterbach’s with the honored guest, Noah, who turned 4 years old. Also there were Jan Lauterbach and others. Hope you had a grand time, Noah.

Sunday, Loretta VanSelus attended the Christmas program at the Church of the Nazarene in Spooner. She tells us it’s always beautiful. Monday Loretta took in her grandson, Jameson Stone’s, Christmas program and said it was really cute.

I’m sure every mother will relate to the following story. And yes have a laugh about it as it’s now in the past. Remember when a phone call came and you had to take care of it? Do you also remember what your kids did while you were on the phone? I certainly do! Our kids went wild, yelling, hollering, pullin’ each other’s hair, wrestling and tearing around the house and also making a big mess. Remember that? I’m sure you all do! Well, I tell yah, our dog, Rory, does the same things, and I mean he tries to control me. When I brought the mail in this last week I put it on a dining room chair to look at later. There were some Christmas cards and a magazine I like.

Well a phone call came and I answered it and was talking. When I got done I went looking for the mail, finding my magazine gone! Looking in the living room I found half of the front page of the magazine and nothing else. I looked under all the furniture and in every place I thought I might find it. I also shook my finger at Rory and he hung his head and I kept telling him, “What did you do with my magazine?” Well I figured the magazine was probably chewed up anyway so I went about my work. Later when I turned the TV on and was going to watch the news, lo and behold here was my magazine with half the cover ripped off. I know it wasn’t there when I went through everything so the guilt must have gotten to him. Here I thought we had our kids all raised and now I find we have one left. Talk about the things Rory does, it’s amazing.

Talking with Karen Vanderhoof we find Saturday, Dec. 18, they had a houseful with Travis and Ashley Vanderhoof, Rory, MaKenna and Connor, Katie and David Kinde and Logan, Trent and Stephanie Vanderhoof and Adyson, and Kyle along with Mike Roe, Marv and Gladys Knoop and Cash and Nadine Vanderhoof. Sunday Doug and Karen had their Christmas gift opening at their house for their four children and their families.

Saturday, Dec. 18, found Jerry and Gretchen Best, along with many others, enjoying Christmas at Lillian Strege’s along with potluck. Gretch said is was a wonderful Christmas.

Starting Jan. 1, Wisconsin residents no longer will be able to put oil filters and all oil-absorbent materials in the garbage. We are told these products can be recycled. For the businesses that do oil changes, they will take care of the oil filters and turn them in to be used for other needs. This also includes granular kitty litter-type absorbents. I imagine there will be sites set to dispose of these items.

Have a very happy New Year!

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Furlough day at UW-BC

RICE LAKE — The University of Wisconsin-Barron County in Rice Lake will be closed Monday, Jan. 3, for a state-mandated employee furlough day.

All campus buildings and offices will be closed and no functions will be scheduled.

The state-mandated furlough day is one of 16 unpaid furlough days required of all state employees in the 2009-2011 state budget biennium. This day was chosen as a mandatory furlough day because it would have minimal impact on students, staff and the community. —

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - CITY OF SHELL LAKE DECEMBER 13, 2010 Mayor Peterson called the regular monthly meeting of the Shell Lake City Council to order at 7:00 p.m. Council members present were Baker, Bitney, Buckridge, Eiche, Graf, Leckel and Pederson. Alderperson Kittelsen was absent. Also present were Jeff Parker, Clint Stariha, Teresa Anderson, Linda Ferris, Regan Kohler and Brad Pederson. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Mayor Peterson noted this will be the last city council meeting Regan Kohler will be reporting on as she moving and recognized Regan for her reporting services.

Graf moved, seconded by Baker, to approve the November 8, 2010, regular meeting minutes. The motion carried. Bitney moved, seconded by Buckridge, to approve the December 1, 2010, special meeting minutes. The motion carried.

PLAN COMMISSION: The December 6, 2010, committee meeting minutes were reviewed. It was reported the Plan Commission recommends rezoning the following parcels, owned

by Ron and Lynda Christensen, from Single-Family Residential (R-1) to Agricultural (A-1): S 10 acres W 1/2 NE NE, Exc. S 33’, V 256 P 546, Exc. V 435 P 632 R/W, Pt. W 1/2 NE NE, V 287 P 342, Pt. W 1/2 NE NE, V 256 P 546, S35-T38N-R13W, City of Shell Lake (approximately 19.5 acres total). Graf moved, seconded by Buckridge, to approve the rezoning as recommended.

Upon a unanimous vote the motion carried. It was reported the Plan Commission recommends rezoning the following parcels, owned by the City of Shell Lake, from Single-Family Residential Lakeshore (RL-1) to Resource Conservation (RC-1): East 50 feet of Lot 1, Donovan Cove Addition; and Pt. Gov. Lot 1, V 465 P 492-493 S1-T37N-R13W; and to postpone rezoning of the South 30 feet of Lot 1, Crescent Park Addition, City of Shell Lake from Single-Family Residential Lakeshore (RL-1) to Resource Conservation (RC-1). A discussion was held on all three requests and it was noted an objection was received pertaining to the South 30 feet of Lot 1, Crescent Park Addition basically due to uncertainty about the property boundaries. Pederson moved, seconded by Buckridge, to rezone the South 50 feet of Lot 1, Donovan Cove Addition from Single-Family Residential Lakeshore (RL-1) to Resource Conservation (RC-1) to provide greater control of the land use activities for lake protection purposes. A roll call vote was taken: Buckridge-yes, Eiche-no, Pederson-yes, Bitney-yes, Leckel-no, Baker-yes and Graf-yes. The motion carried. The City Administrator was directed to confirm that this is a valid action as it was questioned if a two-thirds vote of council members (elect vs. present) would be required to approve a rezoning.

Bitney moved, seconded by Buckridge, to rezone Pt. Gov. Lot 1, V 465 P 492-493 S1-T37N-R13W, City of Shell Lake from SingleFamily Residential Lakeshore (RL-1) to Resource Conservation (RC-1). Upon a unanimous vote the motion carried. Pederson moved, seconded by Bitney, to postpone a decision on the rezoning of the South 30 feet of Lot 1, Crescent Park Addition until the boundaries are determined and to direct the Lake Coordinator to find out if Lake Protection Grant funds can be used for a survey of this parcel.
