NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - The Department of Natural Resources has suspended burn permits in more than 20 counties in the northwestern and southern parts of the state - including Washburn County - because of dry conditions and strong winds. Trenton Marty, who directs the Bureau of Forest Protection for the DNR, said it’s early for central and northwestern Wisconsin to already be experiencing this degree of risk. Marty said a lack of snow cover statewide is a factor. “Typically, here in the south, as soon as the snow’s gone — that’s generally in mid-March or so — we generally see a rise in fire danger because of the grass fuels down here and stuff. But having central and northwest Wisconsin involved this early in the season is quite unusual,” said Marty. Marty said the suspension shouldn’t last long. He said cooler temperatures are expected later this week. - Breann Schossow, WPR News

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — “It is amazing what this building is going to allow us to do that we possibly couldn’t do currently,” said Mike Schafer, CEO of Spooner Health System. Last fall, ground was broken on the future location of the Spooner Health System’s hospital, a move that began back in 2006 when Spooner Health System identified the need for additional space in the current hospital. “We didn’t go into this, even in early 2012, that we were going to build a new hospital. We were looking at what we could do on-site,” said Schafer. On-site needs included more space in the emergency, outpatient and therapy services area. The cost to remodel the current hospital was figured to be about $18 million but the limited space became a stumbling block. That’s when they turned to the option of building a
new facility. After comparing the two options, it was decided that the opportunities a new facility held were worth the $28 million cost. “This isn’t about a new building, it’s really about the care and services we will be able to offer and the fact that we can’t offer them at the level we need to in our current building. We just outgrew it,” he said. The 57 acres of land, located about two miles north of the current hospital on CTH H near the county highway department, was purchased from the city of Spooner for the new hospital. SHS hired Market and Johnson of Eau Claire to build it and BWBR Architects of the Twin Cities to design it. “We designed the building so the outpatient clinic is adjacent to the ER which will allow us to flex this space and use it for the less-emergent ER patients, like those with sore throats, earSee Hospital, page 10

April’s nonpartisan election refresher
Fourth-grade class holds talent show
Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The lengthening days and warming temperatures refresh our spirits for the coming spring season. The spring season is also marked by a seasonal civic pastime, voting. The spring nonpartisan election to be held Tuesday, April 7, will elect school board members, Shell Lake and Spooner city council members, Minong and Birchwood village board trustees, all town officials, the next Washburn County circuit court judge, in addition to judges on the Court of Appeals and on the Supreme Court. Separate stories will explain the elections taking place in the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court and an interview with the current Washburn County Circuit Court judge. There are six school districts serving Washburn County. The boards range in size from five members to seven members. There are contested races in three of these school districts: Birchwood, Hayward and Shell Lake. School board members are elected to three-year terms and some board seats are up for election each year. In any election, incumbent candidates are only those that currently hold office. On the Shell Lake School Board, five

seats are up for election with 10 candidates listed on the ballot. There are five seats up for election here because of two appointments that occurred in 2014. Seats that are appointed in the event of a vacancy must be on the ballot in the next election. Jeri Bitney and Phil Holman have both filed noncandidacy papers. Incumbent candidate Linda Nielsen will be on the ballot alongside previous board member Steve Naglosky with newly appointed school board members Joel Anderson and Pat Pesko. Other candidates listed on the ballot will be Mary Stellrecht, Jeshua Keenan, Scott Smith, Jill Dunlavy, Darin Gleason and Pat Kraetke. The Hayward School Board has three seats up for election with six candidates. Incumbent candidates that have registered for re-election are Stacy Hessel and Kim Rumler. Don Semler, who is also up for re-election, filed noncandidacy papers in December. Other candidates registered include Derek J. Hand, Linda Plante, James H. Schlender Jr. and Trina Starr.
The city of Shell Lake has four alderperson positions up for election. In Ward 1 incumbent Mike Andrews will be listed along with new candidates Tucker McCumber and Cody Pearson who have registered to run as writein candidates for the vacant Ward 1 position. In Ward 2, incumbent Tara Burns and new candidate Bill Jenderney are running. Jenderney is essentially running for the seat currently held by Terry Leckel as he filed noncandidacy papers for this election. The city of Spooner has four positions up for election. In Ward 1, incumbent Michelle Ortman has registered. In Ward 2, incumbent James Dohm is registered alongside candidate Jim Anderson. In Ward 3, incumbent Fred Schluter is running and Terri Reiter will be on the ballot for the Ward 4 position as the current council member, Chris Thompson, has filed noncandidacy papers. The village of Birchwood elects two trustees with three candidates registered. Incumbents Stacie Small and Rocky
APRIL 7
Van Gilder will be listed alongside Virginia Hurckman. Linda Zillmer is the only candidate registered for village president. The village of Minong will elect three trustees and has write-in contests for president as no one has registered for the position. Incumbent Randy Johnson will be listed alongside Larry Lee and Linda Ellenberger for the three trustee positions. Eugene D. Harrington has registered to run for re-election as Washburn County Circuit Court judge. According to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, Harrington collected a total of 274 valid signatures on his nomination papers. Circuit court judges are elected on nonpartisan ballots for six-year terms. A story featuring an interview with Harrington will be published prior to the election. Each of the 21 towns in Washburn County will elect a chair and two town supervisors. Clerks and treasurers are elected or appointed depending on the town. Towns with contests include Barronett, Bashaw, Casey, Chicog, Evergreen, Frog Creek, Long Lake, Madge, Minong, Springbrook and Trego. A separate story detailing the contests in these town elections will be printed prior to the election.

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer STATEWIDE – There is a contested election April 7 for an open seat on the Court of Appeals District III. Kristina Bourget and Mark A. Seidl are running for a sixyear term to replace Michael Hoover who is not running for re-election. The election is low visibility, but information on the candidates can be found on their websites and on ballotpedia. The latter is called an almanac of U. S. politics. Bourget is an Eau Claire County Circuit Court Judge. Her website is judgebour-
get.com. Among the supporters listed on that site are Circuit Court judges Molly GaleWyrick, Polk County, and Eugene A. Harrington, Washburn County. Seidl is a private practice attorney in Wausau. His website is seidlforjudge. com. The ballotpedia.org site has information on this contest and every 2015 contest in Wisconsin, and the nation. Click on elections at the top, scroll down to judicial, 2015, and follow the links to the Court of Appeals, District III. The site also has information on the Supreme Court contest and the constitutional amendment on the election of the Supreme Court chief justice. Warning: the ballotpedia site can lead you to information on almost
every U.S. election past and future in every state. It is hard to turn off. Court of Appeals contests rare The Court of Appeals is the intermediate court that handles appeals of circuit court rulings among other things. It is the middle court between the county level circuit courts and the state Supreme Court. Wisconsin is divided into four appeals court districts. District III covers the northern half of the state. District III has three judges who are elected to six-year terms. The Court of Appeals was established in 1978. In that first election for the three seats, there were contests for all the positions. After that initial round of contests,
the District III seat has been on the ballot 19 times. There were contests in only two of those 19 elections. Twelve judges have served on the 3rd District Appeals Court. Except for the original three, only two judges every faced an opponent. Contested elections for the position are rare. Oddly, both those contested elections were for the seat that is now on the 2015 ballot. In 1985 Daniel LaRocque won a close election to a seat he had been appointed to. When he retired at the end of his term in 1997, there was an election, with a primary. Hoover won that election and went on to be re-elected unopposed in 2003 and 2009. Now Hoover is retiring at the end of his term and voters are electing the new judge.
Proactive approvals from city council
Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake City Council approved several recommendations at their regular monthly meeting on Monday, March 9, that support the city’s water system, infrastructure and future events. Water is essential to sustaining life. Protecting and maintaining safe drinking water for the public is the responsibility of the owner and operator of the public water system. In Shell Lake that responsibility falls to the municipality, which serves about 1,368 people with safe drinking water through the municipal water system. In order to ensure public water quality, the Department of Natural Resources mandated that all public water systems must conduct surveys of cross connections. Cross connections are any existing
or potential link between a source of contamination and the public water system. Lawn chemicals backflowing through a garden hose into indoor plumbing and into the water system or carbonated water from a restaurant’s soda dispenser entering a water system due to back pressure are examples of cross connections. In order to comply with the DNR mandate and ensure the city’s water quality, the Shell Lake city council, at the meeting, accepted a bid from Midwest Testing LLC at $17,675 or 505 properties at $35 per survey. They will also handle the installation of antisiphon connections, but the city will handle the long-term follow-up. Deterioration due to vehicle traffic through the east half of the alley between Hwy. 63 and Fifth and Sixth avenues has been causing problems to city infrastructure and businesses. Ken Schultz, Ward
2 council member and chair of the public works administration committee, explained to council members that a crew from the city of Spooner did a video of the sewer pipes in that area and discovered that there are two areas in the lower 200 feet of that section that need repair. Schultz explained that the project will also involve raising the manhole to the correct level and have the alley resurfaced with new elevations so water runoff flows away from businesses in that area. “This is a pre-emptive strike rather than a reactive strike. We know we’ve got problems, we know they’re deteriorating, we know the truck traffic is not going away so we’re going to get in there this spring and take care of it,” said Schultz. The cost of the project is unknown but will be covered by the sewer utility. The council approved the sewer repair and
road resurfacing on voice vote. At the city’s parks and recreation committee meeting on Tuesday, March 3, it was determined that an ad hoc committee should be formed to assist in the organization of Monday night events in the city park. Last summer the music and movies in the park event came to the attention of the city council after reports of paraphernalia and weapons surfaced. Since then people from the community, the city and city council have made strides to preserve the park events as the safe, familyfriendly event it was intended to be. The committee will consist of community and city council members and will help organize volunteers and activities for the event. The council approved the creation of an ad hoc music and movies in the park committee was approved by the council on voice vote.

SHELL LAKE — CodeRED is an emergency notification service provided to all residents within Washburn County that will notify you of emergency information through phone calls, text messages, emails and social media. The system will be used to keep you informed of local events that may immediately impact your safety. Washburn County has contracted with Emergency Communications Network to license its CodeRED high-speed notification solution. The CodeRED system provides county officials the ability to quickly deliver messages to targeted areas or the entire county. Carol Buck, emergency management director, cautioned that such systems are only as good as the telephone number database supporting them. “If your phone number is not in the database, you will not be called.” One of the reasons the CodeRED system was selected is that it gives
individuals and businesses the ability to add their own phone numbers directly into the system’s database. This is an extremely important feature. “No one should automatically assume his or her phone number is included,”
Buck said, urging all individuals and businesses to log onto the Washburn County website, co.washburn.wi.us, and follow the link to the CodeRED community notification enrollment page. Those without Internet access may stop by the county clerk’s office at 10 4th Ave., Shell Lake, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. 4:30 p.m. to supply their information in person. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, ZIP code and primary phone number. Additional phone numbers can be entered as well. All businesses should register as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone numbers or who have changed their phone number or address within the past year and those who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their primary number. Buck explained, “CodeRED allows geographically based delivery, which means
street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are received by the proper individuals in a given situation. The system works for cell phones too, but we need to have an associated street address to provide relevant messages.” The office of emergency management and Washburn County Sheriff’s Office encourage you to take action and register your cell phone for this service and verify your home location during the enrollment process so they may target notifications that directly impact your home or business. Testing of the system will be conducted during implementation. The data collected will be used for emergency notification purposes. Questions should be directed to the Washburn County Emergency Management Office, 715-468-4733 or 715-468-4730. — from WCEMO

Letters to the editor
Final week for political letters: Our next issue (March 25) will be the final week we will accept letters pertaining to the April 7 election. Editor
Without balance we can expect the worst There are important election choices on Tuesday, April 7, concerning the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the manner in which the chief justice is chosen. Justice Ann Bradley has been a respected jurist on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for two terms. She has received endorsements from 170 Wisconsin judges, 100 law enforcement officials, and from a group that includes former Gov. Tommy Thompson’s wife, first lady Sue Ann Thompson, who wrote, “We share her commitment to maintaining a Wisconsin Supreme Court that is fair, neutral and nonpartisan.” Bradley makes a point of not aligning herself with any political party, which fits our expectation that judges are nonpartisan. Lawyers argue
for one side or the other: judges stay neutral so that they can be fair. In contrast, not so for her opponent’s campaign. Records show that he has received staffing and research from the Republican Party. A disturbing pattern of partisan funding for the election of judges is evident in Wisconsin’s recent history. The worst instance was in 2011 when the Wisconsin Club for Growth and Wisconsin Manufacturers spent $3.5 million for the benefit of Justice Prosser. He won by only 7,000 votes, so the millions spent probably tipped the vote in his favor. This money is even more alarming because, just last month, Prosser did not recuse himself from a case involving these same donors,
who are being investigated for illegal collusion in the 2010 Walker campaign. That is his choice to make, but it means we citizens now doubt that our courts will deliver impartial justice. It reminds me of the John Grisham novel, “The Appeal,” where big money “bought” the court in preparation for a product liability case that was expected to be argued many years later before the court. The premise of the novel relies on the reader’s sense of fair play and trust in the American system of fair laws and impartial courts. On April 7 we will also have a referendum concerning how the chief justice is selected. Our Republican-dominated Legislature has proposed this change to
the rules because it would like to replace the current chief justice, Shirley Abrahamson, with a justice selected by the five reliably conservative justices. A “no” vote is clearly indicated. In Wisconsin, Republicans now control the Legislature and the governor’s office, and are increasing their hold on the courts. Consolidated power like this leads to overreach and bad laws, because there is no restraint, no common sense. There is a saying that makes the point: “Democracy is not two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.” Without balance we can expect the worst. Gerry Lisi Rice Lake
Judges are supposed to be nonpartisan Judges are supposed to be nonpartisan. There is no place for activism on the Supreme Court. That is why I am encouraging everyone to vote for Judge Daley on Tuesday, April 7, for Supreme Court justice. Daley believes in supporting the Constitutional rights of all who come before him. His opponent, Judge Ann Bradley, uses her power to impose her social and political ideology upon those who face her in court. One example is her ruling against Voter ID laws. Her vote exposes
our electoral system to continued fraud. She also used the court to make a political, economic and social statement when she was part of a 4-2 majority that unfairly ruled against the lead-paint industry. Bradley ruled against the paint industry even though the plaintiff could not prove which manufacturer had produced the paint that he said poisoned him. Two years later, the plaintiff lost his claim that lead-paint chips caused his mild retardation. Daley opposes activism in the court-
room. Daley believes the rule of law and the Constitutional rights of citizens should be protected by the courts. Taxpayers realize the public is burdened by the cost of activism in the courtroom. Frivolous suits make the cost of doing business more expensive. That cost is passed down to the consumer. The legal cost of multiple suits to seek justice that should have occurred quickly is financed by the taxpayer. A crowded docket resulting from multiple suits to prevent the injustices caused by judicial activism de-
lays the right to a speedy trial promised to those facing the courts. Vote for Judge Daley to eliminate activism in the judicial system, to protect the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law. Vote for Judge Daley on April 7 to uphold the American values that protect the rights of every citizen to speedy access to justice. Sondra Maanum Rice Lake
On participation and predators The county deer advisory committees have completed the first round of input into deer management. An online survey, designed by the Wisconsin DNR, received outstanding participation, over 5,000 people, and revealed some basic facts about Wisconsinites. The participation rate was amazing, but only from some parts of the state. People in the south failed to participate in the survey. Milwaukee County only had a handful of responses. Racine County, I assume there are deer to hunt in Racine County, only had 15 residents respond, 14 of whom hunt in the county. Another, more rural southern county, Manitowoc, only had 37 residents respond. On the other hand, northern portions of the state had outstanding participation in the survey. My county, Lincoln County, had 59 residents and 122 hunters respond to the survey. Other northern counties, like Vilas and Oneida, had even more. Clearly, northern residents care about their deer hunting.
The opportunity to comment was provided on each survey, and again, northern counties were highly interactive. For example, Lincoln County provided over 90 comments. Southern counties were mostly mum. For reasons unknown to me, the comment portion of those surveys have never been posted online, but were sent to Wisconsin Conservation Congress CDAC leaders. Contact Kevin Wallenfang, deer and elk manager at the DNR, regarding the survey comments. In reading the survey comments, particularly from northern and west-central Wisconsin counties, there was obviously a realization that predators are having a huge impact on deer hunting in Wisconsin. Searching the words, predator(s), wolf, coyote, bobcat and bear, these words were mentioned in comments over 1,400 times. I’m not a person who thinks one cause explains our deer problems in the portions of Wisconsin that have few deer. Our deer problems are obviously caused
by years of poor timber management, particularly by the federal government, some hard winters, too many doe tags and special seasons, and hunter abuse of liberal doe tags. But the DNR is allergic to the predator word and does everything possible to avoid mentioning predators, including denying that predators put downward population pressure on the deer herd. Their focus has been very conservative management of predator populations. One has to wonder why the CDACs that proposed to increase deer numbers mirror the majority of wolf range? Wallenfang has been widely quoted in the press that wolves are the major cause of elk mortality. Sadly, the county deer advisory committees are only given one task: thumbs up, thumbs down or keep deer numbers the same. Many counties tried to weigh in on the predator situation at their respective CDAC meetings, but were told that wasn’t included in the scope of decision-
making allocated to the citizens. Citizens also wanted to discuss county-based deer management units, liberal seasons and allowing doe tags to special groups even in areas where deer need to increase. None of this will be touched by the CDAC process. Too bad so much time was spent training WCC leaders and conducting meetings, without enriching our knowledge using the people who know the most: real hunters. So it is largely a DNR myth that they are interested in public input. For my part, the DNR, assisted by the WCC, will probably do exactly what they would have done without input regarding thumbs up or down on the deer herd. I won’t be spending a couple of evenings participating in this charade of public participation in DNR decision making. Laurie A. Groskopf Tomahawk
up to another nine months of incarceration for each misdemeanor, meaning another 22.5 years, for all 30 counts. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• LADYSMITH — A 60-year-old Glen Flora man died after he was shot in the torso by a coyote hunter’s stray bullet outside his home on Saturday, March 7, according to Department of Natural Resources officials. Patrick McFarlane, who was not hunting, was shot once and later died at Rusk County Memorial Hospital in Ladysmith. The hunter from La Crosse, who was with a coyote-hunting group, shot at a coyote that was between McFarlane and the hunter. The coyote was in a flat, wooded area, and neither the shooter nor McFarlane could see each other. An ongoing investigation by the DNR is expected to take several weeks. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype
••• RICE LAKE — Charges have been filed against a Rice Lake man and his brother in connection with a naked woman found pounding on a locked door inside the Rice Lake Police Department lobby early Saturday, March 7. Andrew Tancre, 30, Rice Lake, is charged with strangulation, substantial battery and two counts of battery. Tancre’s brother, Dennis, 29, Rice Lake, is charged with obstructing an officer for allegedly trying to hide his brother in his residence. The criminal complaint states that the 4-foot, 9-inch woman, weighing 85 pounds, was assaulted by Andrew for 5-1/2 hours in their shared residence until she escaped naked and ran through the snow, ice and 20-degree temperature to the police department for help. The woman, who had bruises around her eyes, large lumps on the back of her head and dried blood around her mouth, told
an officer that when she arrived at her home her boyfriend allegedly grabbed her by the head and slammed it into the kitchen table. He repeatedly struck her body with his fist, accusing her of cheating on him, and ripped her clothes off, the complaint stated. She broke free, ran to their bedroom and locked the door, but Tancre allegedly broke open the door, grabbed her and repeatedly strangled her until she was about to lose consciousness, released her, and strangled her again. When he fell asleep, the woman got up and ran out the front door. Tancre was awakened and allegedly ran after her down Main Street. The woman said she tried to flag down several vehicles, but no one would stop for her. When she got far enough ahead, Tancre stopped chasing her, the complaint stated. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype •••
Gov. Walker approves nearly $285,000 in county forest road aid
MADISON — Gov. Scott Walker announced on Wednesday, March 11, that $284,700 in state funds will help 24 Wisconsin counties maintain and improve public roads in county forests. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation administers the state’s County Forest Road Aids Program. The 2015 fiscal year funding will help improve more than 900 miles of public roads within county forests. Marinette County, with nearly 225 miles of eligible county forest roads, will receive the largest payment of more than $70,350. To qualify for the state funding, roads
must meet minimum design standards of a 16-foot surface width and a 20-foot roadway width; be located within county forests; be open and used for travel; and cannot be town roads, or county or state highways. County forest road aids are separate from the larger General Transportation Aids Program. GTA returns funding to local governments from state-collected transportation revenues (fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees), helping offset the cost of county and municipal road construction, maintenance, traffic and other transportation-related costs.

Area news at a glance BALSAM LAKE — A jury of four men and eight women took less than two hours to decide on an across-the-board verdict of guilty on all 34 counts of animal abuse leveled against 59-year-old Michael Feist of rural Milltown. Feist was facing four felony counts of mistreatment of animals – causing death, after authorities discovered four long-dead horse carcasses at his Otter Creek Horse Ranch in November 2013. He also faced 30 misdemeanor charges, which included 15 counts each of intentional mistreatment of animals, as well as another 15 counts of failing to provide adequate food, in regard to the emaciated condition of 15 horses. With the convictions, Feist faces up to 3.5 years in prison on each felony, totaling 14 years, with state sentencing guidelines allowing for six years of that time in prison, and the remaining eight years for extended supervision. He also faces the potential of

seum is paying homage to that 130-year history in an exhibition called “Shifting Gears: A Cyclical History of Badger Cycling.” Nicholas Hoffman, chief curator at the History Museum at the Castle in Appleton, said the response to the exhibition has been overwhelmingly positive. “A lot of people are really excited to see a very long time line of Wisconsin’s bicycle technology … you get to see some really neat, rare things,” he said. The collection includes machines ranging from the commonplace to the unrecognizable — like the mono wheel, in which a rider sits entirely inside a single wheel and pedals with their hands. The
exhibit also includes an interactive homage to the nation’s first ever rails-to-trails project, the Elroy-Sparta trail. In less than 10 minutes, visitors can virtually pedal the 32-mile trail that began a program aimed at turning old railways into bikeable paths. The exhibit also looks at the political side of cycling, exploring how some downtown areas in Wisconsin banned biking during the early age of the velocipede. It also delves into how advocacy for dedicated urban bike spaces has helped define the sport’s modern existence. “Shifting Gears: A Cyclical History of Badger Cycling” is open until Oct. 10.

Here’s a chance to honor your vet SPOONER — Memorial Day is fast approaching. That is the time to pay our respects to the fallen. One way to honor your veteran is to have his or her name engraved on a memorial stone out at the wayside on Hwy. 53 across from the state veterans cemetery at Spooner, the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery. The Washburn County Veterans Service Office is currently working on the 14th
Memorial Peace Stone. They only need 13 more names to complete the 14th stone. If you have a loved one just home from Iraq or father, mother, sister, brother who are veterans, what a way to honor them by having their name placed on these memorial stones. For $100 you can have the last name, first name and middle initial; year of entry and year of discharge; and initials of the military branch. Each stone holds

people, who were deeply divided on the issues of this war. Never had this country so loudly opposed a war, with rallies and protests being held at many universities and cities from sea to sea. The war ended for America on April 30, 1975, as a final airlift took place from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon. Regardless of the uproar, just over 165,000 brave soldiers from Wisconsin went to Vietnam, and 1,239 of them paid the ultimate price. Veterans who survived this war faced many challenges as they returned home, not just from the effects of war but also from a strong antiwar movement.

The United States entered the war when it deployed troops to Vietnam in 1965. A classic struggle between purveyors of communism and those of democracy, the Vietnam War raised many doubts, fears and questions among the American

the obvious choice. Student director, Annabelle Revak, states, “When I saw the script choices for the spring play, “Ax of Murder” stood out right away. Maybe it was intuition, or maybe it really is haunted! Either way, it’s nothing like what we’ve done recently, and everyone is sure to be in for a few surprises.” According to Thornley, “It’s a triple threat: unpredictable, hilarious and appropriate for all ages!” SHS students involved in the play are Hayley Anderson, Noah Anonich, Alison Barnes, Julianne Bray, Kori Cahill, Jessica Colbert, Dana Danger, Hannah Ford, Katie Gobel, Elijah Hansen, Catherine Harris, Matthew Haynes, Katie Hayward, Kendra Johnson, Becker Lindner, Rylee Nelson, Cheyenne Nowaczyk, Brant Osterhues, Annabelle Revak, Marta Ribera, Brady Schumacher, Matt Smith, Zoe Smith and Julia Vogel. — from Spooner High School Drama Department

Colin warns, though he’s not taken seriously. But when the police sergeant, played by Julianne Bray, shows up on cue, stating she was called in on a murder, people begin to wonder. Wonder turns to fear when someone is murdered onstage! And it seems as if no one could have done it. Nobody, that is, but perhaps a ghost. “It’s a classic murder mystery comedy,” says Bob Thornley, the show’s director, “but with a twist because the audience is at times involved in the progression and unraveling of the plot. We haven’t done a play like this for some time, and the kids had been asking for something different and humorous, so I was looking for something that would challenge my talented cast and be a great crowd pleaser for our adult and student audiences.” Thornley explains that he’d read about 20-30 plays over the summer and had considered “Ax of Murder” for the senior class play, but it didn’t have the right gender ratio for that group. But when he saw his spring play class roster, with many of the same actors and only one boy for every three to four girls, “Ax of Murder” was

SPOONER — The drama department at Spooner High School will present “Ax of Murder” by Pat Cook as the spring play for 2015.

Everyone’s heard of a haunted house. Probably even a haunted theater. But a haunted play? Could it be haunted by the spirit of a man who recently died at the theater? No, it’s not possible! At least, that’s what theater director Bonnie Bagwell, played by Rylee Nelson, tries to convince the other members of the troupe as writer Colin Chambers, played by Matt Haynes, hints at the trail of horror that has cursed his script, “Ax of Murder.” Unfortunately, curiosity gets the best of the actors, and despite Colin’s adamant warnings, they open the script and start reading the play. It soon becomes apparent the play is mirroring their theater and even the specific actors. “The play changes with each performance,”

Successful Pins for Pets bowling fundraiser benefits WCAHS
SPOONER — The 11th-annual Pins for Pets Bowling fundraiser was held on Saturday, March 7, at the Northwoods Lanes and Lounge in Spooner. What a pleasingly successful event this fundraiser turned out to be for the WCAHS animal shelter. Profits raised for the shelter total $4,085 thanks to the caring generosity of all who participated in any way, whether as a bowler, someone who donated money or brought in donation sheet money, donated a prize, bought a raffle ticket, brought in a donation from the shelter’s wish list, contributed to the snack table or was a patron in the lounge. The shelter’s wish list donations were incredible with more items donated than any other year. And, this year’s event had the highest number of bowlers, which was 118, participating in the three shifts of this 9-pin tap bowling event, with several people bowling all three shifts. The eight people who generously got involved in the donation sheet competition were: Lori Dvorak, Jerry Holt, Kim Koster, Isaiah Lee, Maggie and Scott Devoe, Doris Birch, and Susie and Jim Schmitz. This donation sheet competition is tough as it isn’t easy to solicit donations in this tightened economy, but what a nice effort was made by all who participated with Birch and Jim and Susie Schmitz winning. Northwoods owner Mike Miller ran a nice tournament, but he also donated 10 percent of his tournament time bar sales,
Science Olympiad program Seth Olson demonstrates the plane that he helped to design and build. The lightweight plane, powered by a rubber band, made four complete circles around the room before landing.
Many donated prizes were given away during the Chinese auction at the bowling fundraiser. drew names for pizza giveaways and gave his own prizes for bowling scores. To add more fun to the day, there was live music after the 6 p.m. cosmic bowling shift featuring Those Guys. Bowlers of all ages and bowling skills were involved, but the following bowlers received prizes for their impressive highgame and high-series bowling scores: Tom Knutson, Marilyn Need, Patsy Briggs, Bob Briggs, Mel Landwher, Bob Reynolds, Kathy Ferguson, Cheyanne Lindemans, Kevin Larson, Crystal Daniels and Chad Daniels.
As a nice complement with the idea of one group helping another group, the Special Olympics team of five came in to bowl and help out the fundraising efforts for the shelter. From the sight of smiles on faces, sounds of laughter, excited looks on faces during the prize drawings, and the depleted lunch/dessert tables, everyone seemed to have had a good time, enjoyed the food and left with a content feeling knowing they had blessed the WCAHS animal shelter with their generosity. — from WCAHS

Shell Lake High School seniors Seth Olson and Dee Andrysiak have found a home in the Science Olympiad program. They have a passion for science and enjoy competing against other high school students in science and technology. Shell Lake is competing in their third year in the program and has established themselves as one of the top schools in northern Wisconsin.
Hospital/from page 1 earaches, during times when our ER is especially busy, such as summer holiday weekends,” he explained. The new hospital will be an 81,000 square-foot, one-story facility with a main floor and garden level. The main floor will include departments for trauma, X-ray, surgery, therapy services, an outpatient clinic, emergency room overflow, a conference room, a gift shop, business services and 18 patient rooms that can accommodate up to 20 patients. “No patient will ever have to get on an elevator in this facility, which is one of our considerations,” he said. All patient care will occur on the main floor with the garden level used for support services. The garden level will be located below the main floor, similar to a walkout basement from the back of the building. This level will include the dining room for staff and visitors, kitchen facility and support services like purchasing, IT services, maintenance, administration and classrooms. “We want to offer a warm, inviting, safe place for health care,” Schafer said. The hospital’s exterior design will include wood, glass and curved architecture. The hospital’s interior design vision is warm, homelike, open and inviting. The hospital’s design was created through opinions gathered from the hospital board, medical staff
Keagan Blazer and Daniel Parish built their own Rube Goldberg machine as a project for the Science Olympiad. A Rube Goldberg machine is a machine that performs a simple task but it is deliberately overengineered and overbuilt. The team will compete at the Science Olympiad State at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee on Saturday, April 11.

and the hospital management team. Spooner Health System staff had input into department-specific design and layout. Comments gathered from community forums in 2013 also helped guide the design of the new hospital. “Space will allow us to accommodate more of the same services we currently provide and open up an opportunity for new specialists to come provide care to patients right here in Spooner,” he said. In the long term, SHS hopes to grow into a medical campus and offer additional health services. For now, construction is under way. Ground breaking on the facility occurred in September 2014 and construction has continued through the winter of 2015. May 2016 is the projected open date.

people unknowingly violate the code so it is worth going to the full code at ushistory.org/betsy/flagcode.htm. 1. It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. 2. The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all-weather flag is displayed.
The Shell Lake American Legion and the VFW have a depository box set up at the Shell Lake Public Library across from the Shell Lake Post Office. This is a simple way to show your respect for the flag that is no longer serviceable. The Spooner veterans organizations have a box set up at the American Legion Hall on Hwy. 70. Flying the American flag is a way to show your love to your country. A worn, faded and tattered flag should be retired and disposed of in a correct and dignified way. — Photos by Larry Samson

Larry Samson | Staff writer WASHBURN – Many people show their love and support for their country by flying the American flag. Along with the privilege of displaying the flag, comes responsibility to do it in a correct and respectful way. The United States Congress has enacted a flag code, United States Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, this code lays out the correct and respectful way the flag should be displayed. While the code is lengthy and confusing, this is a summary or highlight from the code for civilian display. Many

3. The flag should be displayed during school days in or near every schoolhouse. In showing respect for the flag: 1. The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. 2. The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary
use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown. 3. No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

Sunday, March 22, 2015 Fifth Sunday in Lent he seminary professor stood quietly before his T class as though he was waiting for a traffic light to change. Wanting the class to think deep thoughts
about the greatness of God’s grace, he asked, “Do you have any possession, do you have anything - anything - that you did not receive from the Lord?” After a moment’s thought, Len spoke up and said, “Yes!” Startled, the professor asked in a voice of disbelief, “What?” “Sin,” came the reply. Sin did not have its origin in God, but in Lucifer who became Satan. In Ezekiel 28:15 we read, “You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.” Satan and sin were not and are not eternal. But sin entered into the world through Adam. Paul wrote in Romans 5:12 that “sin entered into the world through one man.” Sin, then, is a legacy - an inheritance - that is passed on from one generation to another. But it is an inheritance that we can choose to refuse. David says we can be “blessed” if there is “no deceit in our spirit.” If we express true repentance and regret for our sins, God will certainly forgive us. How fortunate we are for his love, grace and forgiveness. If, however, we have been born again and “miss God’s mark” by sinning, we can go back to him in honesty, humility, sincerity and truth, and repent.

Getting a head start on spring?
T
he official start to spring is Friday, March 20. As the snowbanks were shrinking and the lawn was once again appearing, people were anxious to get a head start on spring last week. It seemed that in February newscasters were repeating the phrase, “colderthan-normal temperatures.” Then when the second week of March arrived, the phrase was changed to, “higher-thanaverage temperatures.” I spotted golfers on the course in the Twin Cities area. In my own neighborhood I spotted moms pushing little ones around in strollers. Kids were once again pedaling their bikes down the street with ease.
Even though we will no doubt receive more snow for this season, as I write this the thermometer is nearing 60 degrees. It was about this same time last year that we received a snowstorm that left us with 7 inches of new snow. Many motorcycle enthusiasts had their bikes out during the warm weather last week. Milt prefers to wait until we get a couple of good spring rains to wash down the salt and sand left behind by the snowremoval equipment before he ventures out with his Honda Shadow. Even though the bike is still
in the shed it doesn’t mean that Milt has forgotten about it or about hitting the open road. Milt and his newly retired friend, Brian, took the opportunity this year to travel to the Twin Cities to take in the camping show, the car show, and, of course, the motorcycle show. After attending the motorcycle show on a Friday, Milt invited me to go along with him on a Sunday. As he was all set to step out the door, he turned and said, “This is your last chance if you want to come along. You still can come, you know.” I knew that I could go. It was
more the question of, “Do I really want to go?” The answer in my mind was, “No.” So even I was surprised when I said, “OK,” and proceeded to put on my jacket. I grabbed my always-ready-to-go knitting bag and off I went to the motorcycle show. Well, now I can at least say, “Been there. Done that. No need to do that again!” I guess it wasn’t a complete waste of a day. I got a dishcloth knit and had the opportunity to dine out. I did return home with a few giveaways. I haven’t heard back yet if I was the winner of the 2016 Harley-Davidson electric motorcycle that I entered the drawing for. If I do win, wouldn’t that be a hoot?

T
he freshening winds of March lead me to remember the romance of flying that began for kids with flying a kite. There are still kites of many shapes and sizes these days but nothing like the kites whipping in the wind in my mind. My first clear memory of them is great anticipation, quite like the kind of expectation one can experience before the coming of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. I must have had earlier experiences with kites. I knew when my older brother, Pat, laid out some old newspapers on the living room floor it was the start of a great event. I wanted to help. Pat brought some long, narrow pieces of wood, possibly from a wooden packing box, the kind oranges came in at the time. We could find them if we walked in the alley behind a grocery store where they were thrown out in the trash. Pat took my mother’s shears and cut out a pattern to make the body of his kite. Then he placed the sticks in the form of a cross on the papers and glued the papers on the edges. I held it down for him. He let me hold the ball of string and help, and I think I kept asking, “Is it done yet?” “Can we fly it now?” I asked, but he said no. It had to dry overnight. The kite in the drying process lay on the floor. I had to peek at it a couple of times to see that it was all right. Our dog could have messed with it. In the morning before I
barely had my eyes open Pat was already on his knees tying string on the new homemade kite. It was windy. I tagged along behind Pat and my two younger brothers, Tom and Fred. We were on a mission. We headed for the place kids went to fly kites, a hill near the edge of town. It was early, and a brisk breeze promised good flying, in a blue, cloudless sky. The kite looked pretty good. Pat held the string while the two boys and I worked together and took turns, trying to get air under the kite to launch it into the air. We would run out away from Pat and the kite through the damp old grasses in the field. The kite just bounced along the ground. What a disappointment! Pat said, “We have to make a tail. I thought we didn’t need it, but it’s not working right.” We trudged back home. Mother must have known we had a problem. She offered some cloth from her ragbag. We laid the kite down in the living room and made strips and fashioned a tail and tied it to the kite. I was afraid it would never fly. It was nearly noon when we kite bearers arrived back at the field. Pat held the kite with its colorful tail hanging on. We ran out and it was like a magic trick, with little effort, the kite leapt into the sky. Pat took the ball of string first; then each of us had our turn. Holding the string that tethered this wildly bucking kite, like a bronco in the West, you felt exhilarated. You could maneuver that birdlike creature to make it turn and bank like a plane. What a beau-

tiful sight! It was not so colorful or of a fantastic shape but it was beautiful to us. It was homebuilt, and we didn’t spend money on it and didn’t owe anything, either. We wore it out in a couple of windy days. It was in 1944. Fast-forward 25 years. About three years after we flew our kite my older brother had joined the Navy. He didn’t become a flyer, but went into the submarine service. We all grew up and went different ways. Tom stayed near home and Fred went into business and was living in St. Louis. We found work and started our families. I discovered Wisconsin. There I was, driving along the highway about 20 miles from my old hometown. Two of my kids were with me in the backseat of my 1968 Chevrolet and we were going to visit my folks. One of the kids shouted, “Look! There’s an airplane and it looks like it is landing over there.” Sure enough. We watched as the small plane disappeared from view. I didn’t remember any airport near there. When I arrived at my parents home, my father told me what had happened. My brother Tom had been taking flying lessons, and he had a forced landing that very afternoon. We had seen his plane go down, not knowing he was in it. He

Written for last week Monday morning, March 9, it was partly cloudy but getting warmer. It was 31 degrees above zero and was going up to the 40s and 50s by the end of the week. Sounds like spring has sprung and we are happy about that. The snowdrifts around here are getting a little lower. Welcome to a new tenant, Beverly Pierce. Two of our tenants moved out to be near family. Marge Compeau went to Texas, and Elnora Plaster moved closer to her family. First day of spring is March 20, and of course, we are in the Lenten season with services on Wednesday nights at the different churches. Last Tuesday, Pastor Sue from Salem Lutheran Church came here to have Bible study and will do so every month. Happy birthday to Sue Winner, my daughter, on March 1. In 1950 it was a wicked winter. Floyd had to go to work in Shell Lake on skis, as roads didn’t get plowed out for days. Friday night, we ordered supper from McDonald’s and Amanda went to pick it up. That was a nice change. Wisconsin Badger Basketball is doing well. They won on Sunday, and now the next game will be on Friday, March 20, at 11 a.m. Good luck to them. Happy birthday to Ruth McConkie and Pati Parker on Sunday, March 8. Have a good day. The right angle for approaching a problem is the try angle. Written for this week Monday morning, March 16, was a mild but dreary day. Our snow is gone except for where the drifts were. Now we need a good rain to clean things up. What a weekend we had with the basketball games both Saturday and Sunday. The Wisconsin boys gave us two exciting
swore he wouldn’t fly alone again. He had children who depended on him, so he gave up flying. There is an element of danger in flying, and he had to make his own decision. That was in 1973. Several years before that, one late summer day while I was visiting my parents, my dad and my brother Fred and I drove out to the edge of town and parked near the place where we flew our kites when we were kids. We were saying goodbye to Fred, after a visit. He had flown in and had to return home to St. Louis. There on that field was a small plane. Fred owned another plane but it could not land in a field like this small one, he explained. We stood back while Fred readied the plane for takeoff, and we said our goodbyes. He climbed into the cockpit and got on the radio. Then he taxied out to the end of the field, and the engine roared. I stood there with my dad as Fred waved to us and disappeared into the blue sky. My dad said, “I never thought I would see my boy fly away.” I guess he was kind of proud of him. It was easy to recall our attempts at kite flying in this field, and the pleasure we felt while we held the string to keep our bucking and weaving kite from flying away. Flying is magical.
by Helen V. Pederson games, and we should be real proud of them and the coach. On Friday, March 13, the Glenview van took a group to Lakeview Hotel for lunch at 11:30 a.m. They always enjoy the outing and the meal. Saturday, March 14, was Ruth Swan’s birthday. Mark and Joni came in for cake and ice cream, which was served as our dessert at our noon. Happy birthday Ruth. Margaret Jones came up from the Twin Cities to visit with her sister, Lillian Ullom, for a few days. Marvin and Frank were supper guests at Lillian’s Saturday night. I’m happy to report Mavis Flach is able to drive her car now after being laid up with a broken leg for so long. Glad for you Mavis. John and Mary Marschall spent Saturday and Sunday in the Twin Cities and went to the Comedy Club at the Mall of America. Brent and Toni Saffert joined them on Sunday afternoon. Mary and her daughter, Sara Mathison, drove to Eau Claire to do some shopping. Get-well wishes to Leonard Lange at Barronett who had surgery for a broken hip and is now recuperating in Cumberland. Our thoughts and prayers are with Heather, the daughter of Don and Sharon Tobias, of Milwaukee, who is having some health issues. I guess Arlys Santiago is busy taking care of pets for those who are on vacation. I’m sure she spoils them. Bob Eichhorn is now a resident of Terraceview Living Center. It is almost impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside. I hope you enjoyed St. Patrick’s Day.
Barronett Wow – I’m almost afraid to mention how nice the weather has been all week. I don’t want to jinx anything here. All the snow in our yard is gone. Duane and I finally got out and picked up all the fallen branches and other junk that has been hiding beneath the snow all winter. We even set out a few lawn chairs in the hope that we’ll be able to sit outside and have coffee in comfort. Illa Theese and I had the most wonderful ladies night out on Friday. First we stopped at Bistro 63 for dinner, and it was fantastic. The people there are so welcoming, and the food is delicious. That’s a bit of a problem, you know. There is more food on my plate than I should actually eat, but it’s so good I finish it anyway. Then, we went to the Ceska Opera House in Haugen for a Mike Greenwold and R Country Gals concert. Mike sang lots of George Jones songs, and everyone there seemed to be having a super time listening to all the oldies. One of the fun things about the concert was that Mike, Rita, Roxy and Roslyn joked back and forth and seemed to be having just as good a time as the audience. You remember that the Barronett Dragon 4-H Club members are putting on a play at the Barronett Community Center this Friday, don’t you? It starts at 7 p.m., and the name of the play is “Captain Dangerous.” I hope you can join us there for a fun-filled family evening out. Easter is coming fast. Only two more Wednesday evening suppers and services at Barronett Lutheran. The soup and sandwich supper starts at 6 p.m., and the Lenten service is at 7 p.m. We hope you’ll stop by, visit during supper and join us for the Lenten service. Jessica Farlow called and said that her dad, Chance, had some bad luck Wednesday, March 11. He was outside, slipped on the ice, fell and broke one of the big bones in his leg. Luckily his granddaughter, Kristy, and her little guy, Mason, were on the deck and saw him go down. They rushed over to help him and then called for an ambulance. He was transported to
by Judy Pieper Cumberland and then to Luther Hospital in Eau Claire. Jessica said that he was coming back to Cumberland on Monday, March 16, and would be at the hospital for a while doing physical therapy. We all hope he is doing much better and will be home again soon. I talked to Bruce Holmes this weekend and, because I wasn’t able to get to the town meeting last Tuesday, asked him if there was anything we should know about. He said that the one thing he wants Lakeland landowners to know about is a new idea the state is tossing around about having assessments done by the county instead of having assessors hired by the town. Bruce said that the town would still be responsible for paying for the assessment, it would have to be done every year and it would cost taxpayers quite a bit more money. I’m not exactly sure how this works, but if you want more information, please give Bruce a call. He’ll even let you know who to contact to try to get the change stopped. We had more news about Cheryl Jaastad. She was back in Cumberland for about a week but had a setback and is, once again, in Marshfield. We hope that she will be able to return to Cumberland soon and, in the meantime, we’re all sending up lots of prayers for her recovery. Garett and Kandice Thon had breakfast at the Red Brick with Duane and me on Sunday morning. Their baby is due any time now, and they told us that the bag is all packed and ready for the trip to the hospital. We’re all pretty excited about having another little baby in the family. You know, of course, that I wouldn’t dream of spoiling the little guy. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Marilynn Ladd Grebe, who passed away last week. Jim Ladd’s sister, Barbara, was in the area to attend Marilynn’s funeral, and I had a chance to talk to her for a few minutes. She told me the most interesting stories about attending Barronett Elementary School when she was a child. Well, actually, the exciting part about going to Bar-

She was roasting corned beef. Sunday, Mike and Sonya Murray and son Charles were out for dinner with Diane and enjoyed corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day. It sounds delicious, Diane.

Our snow is gone! That didn’t take long with nice weather like we’ve been having. I haven’t any robin reports yet. Grandson Kyle Mathison told me over a week ago he was on a robin watch because he wanted to be the first to call me. I watched a deer in my south field on Sunday, enjoying the day. I watched two turkeys hiking across the Drake field south into the east woods. They must be breaking away from the winter flock. Another sign of spring, a moth on the patio door. Vivian Bergman reported she was out pruning trees. I haven’t put away the snow shovel yet even though the calendar says spring begins on Friday. Just in case it’s wrong! Some folks have been busy sapping. Great weather for that. Thirteen attended the Spooner High School Class of 1950 noon meal at White Pines Bar and Grill on Wednesday. Our 65th class reunion is planned for noon at Tracks on Sept. 19. Our class is giving a $500 scholarship to a Spooner High School graduate again this year. Bill Fergerson will be taking care of that. Classmate Cecil Scribner gave us an interesting talk on his job as commander of the Spooner Honor Guard. Reports they have done a lot of funerals that keeps them busy. He is so dedicated and we are so proud of him. Put Gerene Smith in your prayers as she is to have heart surgery in Rochester. Libbie DeTrent went to the Apostle Island ice caves with neighbors Chuck and Sonja Scharf on the last day the caves were open to the public. Report it was beautiful and the weather was great. Although the ice was melting, the formations were spectacular. Some were using ski poles to make the walk easier. Libbie was excited to finally see them and check it off her bucket list. Libbie and Sam DeTrent were happy to spend a day with her cousins, Butch and Denise Jensen, Elk Mound. Dale Webb, Somerset, and his neighbor were up at his cabin here last Monday and Tuesday. He said the weather was so nice they just took a drive to check things out. Willie and Vicki Lombard and his sister, Sue Miller, Menomonie, attended a wedding in Superior last Saturday for John Hines, their sister, Linda, and Bill’s son. Put Vicki Lombard’s dad, Leonard Lang, in your thoughts and prayers. He spent most of last week at Luther Hospital in Eau Claire. Andy and Emily Frey and baby spent Thursday afternoon and had supper with Grandma Gloria and Grandpa Anton. Jeff Hutton, Dalhart, Texas, drove up Friday and stayed until Sunday night at Greg and Sue Krantz’s. He spent time with the kids, Lainy and Chane. They went out to eat Friday and Saturday night and he took in Lainy’s volleyball practice while here. Congratulations to Brandon and Heather Stubbe on a new baby daughter, Addison Celest, born March 3 in Rice Lake. She joins 3-year-old brother Caden Neil.

their first meeting of the year on Thursday, March 19, 4 p.m., in the meeting room in Shell Lake. Members are needed as there’s lots to be done in there. Lots of history to organize. Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman were waitresses at their spring dinner at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Haugen on Sunday. They report a good turnout. Wednesday night, Marilyn attended girls night out that was held at Lehman’s in Rice Lake with about 12 gals from her class enjoying visiting. Saturday it was a fun party for Bradly Semm in honor of his 75th held at his son, Clint Semm’s, White Pine Bar and Grill, formerly Becky’s in Shell Lake. Brad gave a speech. There was lots of food and a special cake. I enjoying seeing old neighborhood kids I haven’t seen for ages. Some of them were Sharon Nichols Semm and daughter Mindy who just moved to Spooner from the Twin Cities. I had a great visit with Pat Tewalt, also Lil Aage Duch from Baldwin.
