Spring election is Tuesday Public education head, Supreme Court seat on April ballot; two contests for every area voter

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY – Evers or Pridemore. Roggensack or Fallone.

Every area voter will have choices for two contested statewide offices on election day, April 2.

The positions of state Superintendent of Public Instruction and a justice of the Supreme Court are up for election, with incumbents being challenged for each office. Each race is being actively contested and each of the nonpartisan contests has taken partisan overtones.

In addition, there is a third office on the ballot, for a seat on the Court of Appeals, but there is a single candidate for that open seat.

Tony Evers and Don Pridemore are the candidates to head the state Department of Public Instruction, which has broad oversight of public elementary and secondary education in the state. Evers, the incumbent, has had a career

in education from teacher to administrator.

He has been head of the DPI since 2009. Pridemore is a full-time legislator who has been in the state Assembly since 2005. He chairs the urban education committee. He had a career in electronics engineering. DPI is the only department in Wisconsin state government with an elected administrator. The position has a four-year term.

Pat Roggensack and Ed Fallone are running for one of the seven seats on the state Supreme Court. Roggensack, the incumbent, is completing her first 10-year term on the court. Prior to that she served for seven years on the Court of Appeals. Fallone is a law professor at Marquette University and has been a practicing attorney for 24 years.

While each office is nonpartisan, the DPI and Supreme Court races have had political and ideological elements in Wisconsin elections for many years. State court justices have often been classified as being in the conservative or liberal wing. DPI issues include the voucher program and funding. A hint of the partisan and ideological divide can be seen by looking at the list of endorsements and supporters the candidate list on their Web sites.

Independent information on the candidates can be found on the public radio and televi-

Contests in three school districts, five towns, one village, one city

Scattered local election Tuesday

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY – Every area voter will have choices in two statewide contests, the Supreme Court and the education department head, on April 2.

But there are fewer contested races at the local level across the county. There are elections for every school, town, village and city board, but while that results in 31 elections, only a few of those will have contests.

Three of the six school districts, Hayward, Rice Lake and Spooner, have contests, all as a result of retirements and open seats. Five of the 21 towns in the county have contests even though all

town officials are up for election. Incumbents face challenges in Evergreen, Minong and Stinnett. There are contests for open seats in Barronett and Long Lake.

The village of Birchwood has an unusual contest. The city of Spooner has a contest and a write-in spot. The Shell Lake School and Village board elections have their own stories.

Schools, three-year terms The three school board contests all involve the retirement of incumbents, with contests for open seats.

Hayward (two seats) Lynell Swenson (I), Derek Hand and Greg Neff (Shirley Armstrong retires).

Rice Lake (one city/two rural seats) City: Natalie Robarge (Audrey Kusilek retires). Rural: Miriam Vavra (I), Dexter Covey and Bill Schmitzer (Ray Van Gilder retires).

Spooner (two seats) Robert Hoellen, Kyle Pierce, Bob Otto and Cathy Maas (Maureen Revak and Willie Kaufman Jr.

Evergreen: Three candidates for two supervisor seats, Larry Lawrence (I), Tim Kessler (I) and Bill Maas.

Long Lake: Two incumbent supervisors not running for numbered seats.

Seat one: Dan Lubensky and John Hartman (Ed Olund retires). Seat two: Wayne Sabatke and Al Ausing (Brett Westphal retires).

Minong: Incumbent supervisors challenged for numbered seats. Seat one: James Smith (I) and Tony Tubbs. Seat two: Ed Slavick (I) and Rick Gottschalk.

Stinnett – Clerk contest: Barbara Love (I) and Kathryn Parks.

The other offices in these five towns are not contested. There are no contested races in the towns of Bashaw, Bass Lake, Beaver Brook, Birchwood, Brooklyn, Casey, Chicog, Crystal, Frog Creek, Gull Lake, Madge, Sarona, Spooner, Springbrook, Stone Lake and Trego.

Villages and cities The village of Birchwood election is unique in several ways. The village has a five-member board with four trustees, two of whom are elected in the evennumbered years, while most villages have seven members on their councils.

This year, the village president, Morris Gillett, is being challenged by Linda Zillmer, a current trustee whose term is up in 2014. Gillett is also running for a trustee seat, along with incumbent Stacie Small. Robert Hayes is retiring. So, if Gillett is elected to both positions, he will need to decline one of them. If Zillmer is elected president, she will need to resign her council position. Either way, there will be a vacant seat on the village board that the next council will need to fill.

In contrast, the ballot for the village of Minong is simple. Four incumbents are Nov. 15 when the serving judge, Gregory Peterson, resigned effective Nov. 30. running unopposed for four positions.

New ATV campground well under way

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — After nearly seven years of planning, Shell Lake’s new ATV campground has cleared yet another hurdle with the purchase on Monday, March 25, of 15 acres of property belonging to the Shell Lake Cemetery Association. The acquisition was made using the $40,000 obtained from the Wisconsin registration fees for off-road vehicles. None of the money used to fund this project came from, or will ever come from, taxpayer dollars. Mark Heil, who has worked for the Department of Forestry for 20 years, has had a great deal of input into this project as an experienced campground developer.

The ORV has also awarded Shell Lake another $30,000 that will be used to fund the work done by Cooper Engineering, which will include perk tests of the area.

Site prep will also be taken out of that money to cover the stumping and grinding that needs to be done in order to establish rough camping sites and trails leaving as many trees and natural flora and fauna as possible. According to Shell Lake Public Works Director Jeff Parker, “This campground will be established in the middle of a very wooded area with a generous natural buffer system surrounding it. Even though one of the campground entrances is on CTH B, it will only be used to bring in the trailers,

No contests in city of Shell Lake, but ...

Signing the papers that transfer ownership of 15 cemetery acres over to the city of Shell Lake at a cost of $32,000 is Andy Eiche, city council president; Mayor Sally Peterson, Dudley Livingstone and Peg Pockat, representing the Shell Lake Cemetery Board; and Shell Lake Public Works Director Jeff Parker in the back.

etc., for registration or to use when the pavilion is established. Once established at a site, the ATVs will enter from the trail that parallels the highway.” Andy Eiche, city council president, added, “When you consider there will be only 17 sites on 15 acres, you can see how

Whether this new campground is built all in one phase, or in two, the finished project will be rustic ATV camping at its best. — Photos by Diane Dryden

rustic this new campground will be.” He also added that this June the ORV will be contacted about future funding. “It’s estimated that we’ll need over $400,000 to complete the project and we’re hoping for it in one lump sum. If we only get half this year, we’ll break the development down into two phases. Either way, when it’s finished, there will be the sites, each one with 50 amps of electricity and water. There will be various toilets available as well as showers. There will also be a sanitary dump station, a pavilion and a tower. It will be one of the finest in the area and we’re expecting it to be a great success.”

The planners hope the project is completed entirely by 2015, which will coincide with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Hwy. 63 redo through Shell Lake. Also included in the city plan will be an all-purpose blacktopped trail that will run between East CTH B down to CTH D. It is being put in for biking, walking and inline skating, etc. Anything without a motor may be used on it.

Shell Lake continues to develop year by year with even more clever ideas still in the brainstorming phase. The campground, on the other hand, is a done deal and on its way to completion.

by Gregg Westigard Register staff writer SHELL LAKE – Voters in Shell Lake won’t see contested races on the school and city ballots April 2, but there are still issues to be decided. The school board election will decide which of three candidates will fill a short term rather than serve the full three years. And the sole candidate for one of the city council seats must be elected as a write-in even though he is the incumbent.

Stuart Olson, Mary Ann Swan and Steven Naglosky are all incumbents running unopposed for re-election to the Shell Lake School Board. Olson and Swan are completing three-year terms, and Naglosky was appointed to the board when Wendy Muska resigned. A school board appointment is only until the next election when the seat is on the ballot for the remainder of the vacated term, in this case for the one year remaining on Muska’s term.

The three candidates are all listed together on the ballot, and the person with the least votes gets the short term.

This last happened during the 2010 Shell Lake School Board election when Swan, running as an appointed member, came in first and long-term board member Tim Mikula finished third, taking the short term.

In the Shell Lake City Council race, Josh Buckridge is running as a write-in candidate for the Ward 1 seat he now holds. Buckridge was appointed to the council in January, replacing Jane Pederson who retired last November. His appointment came too late to get on the ballot. Ward 1 will have two seats on the April ballot, with incumbent Don Bruce running for the other seat.

There are no contests for the Shell Lake council in Ward 2. Tara Burns and incumbent Terry Leckel are running for the two positions and Ken Schultz is retiring.

Driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants

Are you kidding me? The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that Minnesota is talking about giving driver’s licenses to illegals. They seem to think that if they have a driver’s license that they will get insurance and follow traffic laws. Wake up people. They broke our laws to come here illegally, so they sure aren’t going to follow traffic laws or buy auto insurance.

And since they don’t want to learn English, they aren’t going to be able to read the traffic signs. One Minnesota teen has already been killed by an illegal that ran her down with his vehicle. These illegals had no respect for our laws when they

Small grains FSA marketing assistance loan application deadline approaching MADISON — Producers interested in a Farm Service Agency Marketing Assistance Loan are reminded that Sunday, March 31, is the deadline to put 2012 small grain crops under a low-interest nine-month loan at the local FSA office.

A MAL is available to producers who share in the risk of producing a crop. To be eligible, a producer must maintain continual beneficial interest in the crop from harvest through the earlier of the date the loan is repaid or Commodity Credit Corporation takes title of the commodity.

In addition, commodity loan eligibility requires compliance with conservation and wetland protection requirements, beneficial interest requirements, acreage reporting and ensuring that the commodity meets CCC minimum grade and quality standards. The quality of the commodity in farm storage must be maintained throughout the term of the loan.

Violating provisions of a marketing assistance loan may trigger administrative actions, such as assessing liquidated damages, calling the loan and denial of future farm-stored loans.

For more information or to apply for an MAL on your 2012 small grain crops, contact the Washburn/Burnett County FSA office at 715-635-8228, Ext. 2. — from FSA

Annual fundraiser set for April 20 BURNETT COUNTY — Regional Hospice is an important part of the community, and staff members take their jobs very seriously. There are many services that hospice provides that are not covered by Medicare and private insurance.

A very important aspect of the job is fundraising. Knowing that she couldn’t do it without the help of other staff members and dedicated volunteers, Kathy Hansen, volunteer coordinator, directs most of the fundraising for hospice.

Each year, Regional Hospice needs to raise between 20 and 25 percent of their operational budget through community fundraising events.

The jelly bean

A

popular candy at Easter is the jelly bean. It’s been reported that former President Ronald Reagan started eating jelly beans when he gave up smoking in the early 1960s. On his first day as governor of California, Reagan was given a big jar of jelly beans by candymaker Henry Rowland. When Reagan was elected president of the United States in 1980, Rowland told reporters, “There will be jelly beans in the White House, that’s all I can say.” Reagan kept a crystal jar full of his favorite jelly beans for cabinet meetings and encouraged his department chiefs to eat them when they needed energy.

Reagan also once said, “You can tell a lot about a fella’s character by whether he picks out all of one color or just grabs a handful.”

A blueberry-flavored jelly bean was created for Reagan’s presidential inauguration in 1981 when over three tons of Jelly Belly beans were

The Jelly Bean Prayer Red is for the blood he gave; Green is for the grass he made.

Yellow is for the sun so bright; Orange is for the edge of night.

Black is for the sins we made; White is for the grace he gave.

Purple is for his hour of sorrow; Pink is for our new tomorrow.

A bag full of jelly beans — So colorful and sweet, Is a promise in this children’s treat!

Originally Strunk took the job to fill in for someone Spooner after the April 2 election and 37 years in office. — Photo former position, she’ll have more time in her own life that was leaving. It was March 13, 1976, when she by Diane Dryden for, hmm, apple pie and coffee? started the job she thought would be only temporary; remember she was mother to a houseful of kids, and it was only a two-year position, and she was just finishing out for someone else.

She had a filing cabinet full of official papers along with boxes of past records and a large safe along with an adding machine to total the whole conundrum of incoming and outgoing figures that make up taxes, etc.

“When it came to the yearly taxes, I had to wait for the state and the county and the school and WITC to send how much they were asking for in their levy. Then I had to meticulously add everything and come up with a mill rate figure. After all the figuring was finally finished, I had to print out a summary and send it to the county clerk’s office in Shell Lake. The county treasurer would approve the figures and then send them back so we could get the taxes to the people. When it was all over, I had to have the property tax book balance exactly after figuring each homeowner’s taxes manually.

When we received the tax statements from the county, we had to send them out and then make sure everyone had their receipts and copy everything down and send a copy in of what we had done. There was a lot of paperwork and you might say I grew into the position, as there was a lot to learn and a lot to do.”

The town has remained more or less static when it comes to population. Today there are 711 residents, 550 of them registered voters. There are many responsibilities for a board member, especially the clerk. Each year includes a once-a-year board of review where taxpayers can come and challenge the figures on their property assessments. Some years there is only a spring * election. Some years there could be five or more elections.

There are regular meetings to approve various resolutions and all other town expenditures, and the annual meeting of the electorates. On election years there is a January caucus to determine who is going to run and after reluctantly taking the job originally, Strunk * has run unopposed 19 times.

She has also been the record keeper and holds the checkbook that’s used for the road work and town hall maintenance they hire out, as well as the salaries for the town board and dues to the fire department and ambuPrices based on 1-sided card printed on 80-lb. cover white stock lance service.

NW Wisconsin MoTIC wins state Tourism Service Excellence Award MADISON — “They say if you’re going to dream, dream big, and this individual did just that. In an effort to boost tourism in their area, this individual brought together businesses, communities and organizations to take part in a massive marketing effort, which has had enormous results. In January, he launched a custom-created project, a mobile travel information center operating out of a full-sized semitrailer. Since then, it has traveled to nearly a dozen trade and consumer sports shows across the Midwest. At their first show alone, this information center on wheels provided more than 7,000 people with information about Northwest Wisconsin,” stated Dave Fantle, deputy secretary of tourism at the Tuesday, March 19, awards ceremony.

The Northwest Wisconsin Mobile Travel Information Center received the 2013 Governor’s Tourism Service Excellence Award during closing dinner at

At the Wisconsin Governor’s Conference on Tourism held in Madison last week are (L to R): Gov. Scott Walker; Nancy Herman, Yellow River Advertising & Design LLC; Michelle Voight, Washburn County Tourism Association executive director who nominated MoTIC for the 2013 Governor’s Tourism Service Excellence Award; and Secretary of Tourism Stephanie Klett. — Photo submitted

land’s to promote Northwest Wisconsin on a level that hadn’t been done in the past. With the help of Nancy Herman from Yellow River Advertising & Design, LLC doing all of the graphic design and sales, the MoTIC hit the road in January for the first time. Many businesses and organizations were involved in making the MoTIC happen including Ellsworth Creamery, Hayward Lakes Visitors & Convention Bureau, Iron County Development Zone, Hurley Area Chamber of Commerce, Mercer Chamber of Commerce, Native American Tourism Organization of Wisconsin, Siren Chamber of Commerce, South Shore Chamber (Cornucopia, Herbster and Port Wing), Iron River Area Chamber of Commerce, Washburn Area Chamber of Commerce, Washburn County Tourism Association, Wisconsin Department of Tourism and Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad.

Plus, businesses and organizations in over 40 communities in northwest Wisconsin, along with a few statewide entities, participated in this huge endeavor.

“Wisconsin’s scenic beauty and iconic attractions set the stage for tourism in the state, but it’s the people in the hospitality industry that are the driving force behind travelers returning here year after year,” said Gov. Scott Walker.

“Our five honorees consistently deliver great memories that keep people coming back to Wisconsin and our state’s tourism economy growing.” Sponsored by the Governor’s Council on Tourism, the Governor’s Tourism Awards recognize individuals and businesses for their commitment to excellence, achievements, dedication and leadership that have resulted in a significant impact to Wisconsin’s travel and hospitality industry. “This year we had a total of 42 nominations, a record for these awards, which shows just how our tourism industry continues to raise the bar and strive for excellence,” said Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. “Our five honorees should be truly proud to be selected from a pool of such outstanding talent in our industry.”

If you haven’t had a chance to see the MoTIC in person, the final show for the winter season is coming up April 3-7.

The MoTIC will be one of the premiere displays at the Arrowhead Home & Builder Show in Duluth, Minn., at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.

For more information on the NW Wisconsin MoTIC, contact Nancy Herman at 218-426-0964, yelriadv@frontiernet.net or Greg Vreeland, 715-635-7237, greg@ spoonertrainride.com. — submitted

Area writers corner The Easter Bunny is magical

by Mary B. Olsen Now that the beautiful springtime of the year is upon us, and we are looking ahead to a blessed and happy Easter, I begin to remember earlier times, way back when I was very young. It was always quite an effort for my mother to provide our family with suitable clothes for our town’s version of the Easter parade. Little boys had to have nice longsleeved shirts and dress pants and they had to wear a tie. Sometimes my mother made the boys little jackets, just like men’s suits, but with short pants. They had to have new shoes. Every little girl had to have a pretty dress and a bonnet with ribbons, white socks and patentleather shoes, with little straps. Usually I even had a new spring coat to wear.

Mother made her own dress, as well, and always looked good.

All of the things that go into a celebration of Easter take a lot of thought and time but it was begun early so everything would be ready. We planned for a big dinner with extra family members and it was usually an Easter ham and all the trimmings, and salads and desserts.

Several times we had a lamb cake, which was baked in a special pan shaped like a little lamb. We would use our best dishes and my sister and I would help get it all ready. We even used goblets for water on the table for the grown-ups, goblets that we had to handle carefully, because Mother said they cost 50 cents apiece.

There were separate pickle dishes and salad plates for everyone.

We would color eggs the day before Easter. We always did it together at the kitchen table. We would make an egg with each person’s name on it. The rest of the eggs, somehow, seemed to disappear on Easter morning. This Easter Bunny would come and hide the eggs in our yard, so we would have to look all over for the beautiful colored eggs, pink and yellow and blue and green and orange eggs. We knew bunnies didn’t lay eggs, but this was a magic bunny. This bunny was a male. I guess we thought he was like a tooth fairy who brought colored eggs instead of coins. But he didn’t look under your pillow. He just put eggs in your yard.

The best thing about Easter was all the surprises. When we got up in the morning we would find a basket containing many kinds of candy that we had to wait to eat later, when we got home from

buy all new shoes for the children. You don’t see the variety of sewing material available like we had in those days. If I had little children I wouldn’t be able to take the time, either. Many mothers are working outside the home now.

When my children were growing up it was quite the same. We didn’t set as elegant a table for the occasion, though.

Like most people, now, we still color eggs and have special dinners. One may choose to go out to eat. There are many of the traditional baskets, chocolate bunnies, and marshmallow chicks and a variety of colorful things to make the holiday special.

We can look ahead to a warm spring day and a time of celebration. Birds will be singing and flowers will be blooming.

The Easter Bunny will be hopping into the backyards to hide the colored eggs.

Things haven’t changed that much. Now that I look back on those early days, I think that rainy Easter Sunday was one of my favorites.

church. Chocolate bunnies and jelly beans, all the sweets one could imagine.

Sometimes all our plans didn’t work out too well. I remember one Easter when we were met with a cold windy day. We had to hold tight to our bonnets.

After church it had started to rain so we hurried home as fast as we could to get in out of the rain. That was one Easter we stayed indoors most of the day. The Easter Bunny, of course, was magical, so he had hidden the colored eggs in the house, right in our living room. We had our new baskets and hunted for the eggs just like we did when we could go outside. In later years the older children would help the little ones find the eggs, and there was always quite a bit of laughter. Also a lot of re-hiding the eggs, I think.

We always plan for events but things can go wrong. I don’t think people spend as much time preparing for a holiday as they did years ago. For one thing, it would be heavy on the pocketbook to

Amidst the snow, a track record fell

MENOMONIE — Although there is still a lot of snow on the ground, the Shell Lake High School track team had their first meet on Saturday, March 23, at UW-Stout in Menomonie. With over a foot of snow on the track, the indoor facility allowed the team to have its first true practice on the equipment.

With 19 girls competing from the team and eight boys, the day went well, with one school record being broken. Shania Pokorny broke the triple-jump record by jumping 32 feet 6.5 inches. Jodi Thannum established the previous record in 1987 with her jump of 31’7.5”.

“Going into the meet, I had three goals for the athletes: have fun, treat it like the best practice by giving your all, and allow yourself to learn from those around you,” commented coach Katrina Granzin.

Earning first-place finishes were Hannah Cassel in 400-meter dash with a time

of 1:06.10; Shania Pokorny, with her 32’6.5” triple jump; and the 4x400 relay of Cassel, Sheri Clark, Lauren Osborn and Pokorny with a time of 4:30.2.

Pokorny took second in the 800-meter dash with a time of 2:41.55. Receiving fourth was Hana Anderson in the 55meter dash with a time of 7.94. With her 13’11.75” long jump, Lindsey Martin took fourth place. The 4x400 relay team of AJ Denotter, David Brereton, Anthony Lloyd and Tanner Williams received fourth place. Williams took sixth place with his 2:20.17 finish in the 800. Colleen Knoop earned seventh place with her 30’3” shot put throw. Rounding out places for Shell Lake was the 4x200 relay team of Anderson, Martin, Renee Mikula and Amber Anderson with a time of 2:03.85 to take eighth place. — with submitted information

Cassie Lawrence new state champion in youth wrestling

MADISON — For the second year in a row, the Shell Lake youth wrestling program has generated a state champion.

Cassie Lawrence claimed that honor and also became the first Shell Lake female state wrestling champion. Shell Lake youth wrestlers Jameson Lucas, Kale Hopke and Lawrence competed in the state wrestling championships in Madison on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, March 23.

In the first round on Friday night, Lawrence pinned her opponent from Chilton late in the third period. This was oddly the first time Lawrence has ever wrestled a girl and has always had to face off against male opponents. She then had to wait overnight and come back on Saturday for the semifinals. Despite waiting until late in the day, Lawrence came out strong and pinned her opponent from Desoto in the third period. This set up the finals match against her opponent from Bad River. Lawrence’s match was the last event of the night and she punctuated it with a 3-1 victory. Lawrence had to overcome an early injury when she was struck in the face with an elbow at the 12-second mark. Despite her eye swelling she continued to press on and ultimately cradled the Bad River wrestler to her back late in the second period.

Hopke was not able to mirror his firstplace finish from a year ago and lost two very close matches. In the first round Hopke was defeated by an Oak Creek wrestler by the score of 2-0. This wrestler would later place fourth. In the second round, Hopke faced the same opponent from La Crosse that he faced in last

Spooner FFA attends 212˚ Leadership Conference

GREEN BAY — Mikhaila Lampert, Rylee Nelson, Genna Peterson, Timothy Ritchie, Estella Wacek and Abby Zehm of the Spooner FFA Chapter attended the national FFA organization’s 212˚ Conference held at the Hyatt on Main/ KI Convention Center in Green Bay, Friday-Saturday, March 22-23. Over 180 FFA members and advisors from around the state of Wisconsin participated in this national personal development conference held biannually in Wisconsin.

The 212˚ Conference is a two-day personal development seminar designed for high school students involved in the FFA organization. Two hundred twelve degrees - the temperature at which water boils – focuses on taking students to the boiling point of leadership. At 211 degrees water is extremely hot, but just one more degree gets it to the next level. These conferences focus on student development. Students were challenged to push the limits. Themes for the conference included virtues, growth and collaboration.

Leadership development is a key

focus in the national FFA organization.

Helping FFA members develop their leadership skills and focus on who they are and what they can become is key to the mission of the FFA organization.

Barronett by Judy Pieper Happy Easter! We have lots of things coming up this week at Barronett Lutheran. First, we will have a Maundy Thursday service at 7 p.m., March 28; Good Friday service at 7 p.m., March 29 and, of course Easter Sunday service at 9 a.m. March 31. Before the Easter Sunday service, the youth group will be serving breakfast starting at 7:30 a.m. We hope you can join us for some, or all, of these events.

Cheryl Jaastad said that the kids Easter party held Saturday, March 23, at the community center, was very well-attended and that all the kids had a lot of fun. She is going to get the names of the winners of the bikes and other prizes to me, but I will have to let you know about that next week.

Lillian Ullom’s birthday party was wonderful. I’m not sure how many people were there, but I’ll tell you one thing, that woman has a lot of friends. Lillian looked lovely in a purple dress and a white rose corsage. The food was wonderful, and it was nice to see so many old friends. I feel pretty privileged. Lillian invited me to her

100th in 10 years. I told her that if I last that long I will definitely be there.

Our neighbor, Joey Reichhoff, went on a mission trip with his pastor, Tom Kelby, and two other men last month. They flew into Manila in the Philippines, where they taught the Hands to the Plow study. They also traveled north about four hours to Baguio for a few days and taught there. Joey said that the flight was very long, and they were so busy they didn’t have much time for sightseeing. He did say, however, that they were able to go to visit farm run by Pastor Nelson, who leads the church and school in that area. There was a terrible flood in that area a few years ago, and Pastor Nelson is helping people learn to grow mushrooms and to raise tilapia in a pond.

Joey also said that the people in the Philippines are very hospitable and generous.

He enjoyed the trip very much. Joey also wants you to know that you can go on the Internet to see what the team was teaching.

Heart Lake news by Helen V. Pederson Monday morning it is quite chilly but we did have a couple of warm days over the weekend. You didn’t even need a jacket on Saturday. The side roads are getting slushy.

Pastor Arvid Sundet and his wife, Kim, came to Glenview to see a few of the parishioners of Salem Lutheran where he is the interim pastor.

Friday night, Tom Dahlstrom and Dr. Paul Goellner were at Glenview entertaining us with old-time songs during our monthly happy hour. Thank you to them.

Abner Odden is still at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire undergoing therapy. The paralysis is in his left arm. His son, Gary, has visited him and also Kim Odden stopped in one day last week.

Saturday was a big day for Lillian Ullom, celebrating her 90th birthday at Salem Lutheran Church. It was a lovely day and lots of family and friends were there. Her children: Donna Ness, Howard, Mark and David Ullom and families put on a great lunch.

Lillian’s granddaughter and Donna Ness’s daughter, Julie, came from Gainsville, Fla. It was good to see her. Many local residents came to wish her greetings.

Severt Olson and Peder Pederson stopped

in too. They all went to the Woodyard School together.

Sue Winner of Solon Springs came down to take me to the party and then we drove around in our old neighborhood.

Mary and John Marschall and friends Karen and Ben Holzem spent Sunday in Minneapolis at the boat show. I guess it was quite a show.

Mavis Flach has been staying close to home healing after her knee replacement.

Roger is doing quite well. The family visits often.

Greg Odden took his mom, Jean, to church in Timberland on Sunday and afterward went out to eat together.

Happy 90th birtthday to Ruth Thompson who celebrated at her place in Lakeland Manor on Saturday.

Sue Weathers celebrated her birthday Tuesday, March 26. Happy birthday to you.

Sunday was Palm Sunday so the church was filled with palms. Next Sunday is Easter so enjoy that holiday.

Church members are either pillars or caterpillars. The pillars hold up the church; the caterpillars just crawl in and out.

Asia once or twice a year to conferences and Bible studies.

Oh, another thing, Joey said that Manila is the most densely populated city in the world. There are 20 million people living there, and you can just imagine what the traffic must be. Joey said that there really aren’t the tie-ups like we have in the big cities here though. The drivers have learned the “you go/I go” method and it works pretty well, While Joey was away, Leanne, Oskar and Mischa went to eastern Wisconsin to visit with the Reichhoff family and friends.

DeEtte Fankhauser called hoping that someone can help her locate a childhood friend, Myrna Mortensen. When DeEtte was a child, she lived on the farm right across from the Lehmann farm. Myrna’s parents were in a hospital for an extended stay, so Myrna was staying with her grandparents in a house just north of the Barronett Community Center. Actually, at that time I believe the cheese fac-

tory was in that location. DeEtte said that her family moved north in 1955 or 1956 so that her dad, Elmer Wiesner, could work in the taconite mines. They were there about a year, and when they came back, Myrna had moved away. DeEtte’s not sure, but she is assuming that Myrna’s parents were released from the hospital and that she went home to live with them.

Our local historian, Don Lehmann, said that he thinks Myrna’s grandparents were Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Lien, but he’s not positive about that. Anyway, if you know a lady whose maiden name was Myrna Mortensen, DeEtte (Wiesner) Fankhauser would certainly appreciate hearing from you. It would be so nice to get these two old friends together again, wouldn’t it?

That’s about it from Barronett this week.

Hope you have a very happy Easter, and that you can join us at Barronett Lutheran for some of the services and the Easter breakfast. See you next time.

Clean Boats, Clean Waters workshop set

SPOONER — The Washburn County Land and Water Conservation Department will host a Clean Boats, Clean Waters workshop. This workshop will be held Saturday, April 13, 9 a.m.-noon at the Spooner Ag Research Station, W6646 Hwy. 70, Spooner.

Through this program, citizens are trained to be watercraft inspectors that educate boaters and anglers about aquatic invasive species at local boat landings. Inspectors show boaters how and where AIS are most likely to hitch a ride on their watercraft and be trans-

ferred to other water bodies. They also perform boat/trailer checks for AIS, distribute informational brochures, and collect and report valuable data on boater behaviors and awareness. There is no cost to attend the workshop, but for $25 attendees will be given a handbook and a resource kit that contains educational materials and T-shirts that can be worn during the watercraft inspections.

To register for this training, please contact Lisa Burns at 715-468-4654 or email lburns@co.washb​urn.wi.us. — from WCLWCD

He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Germany during the Korean conflict in the same company as Elvis Presley. Upon his return, Eddie went to work at Allen Gas and Oil, and worked there for 30 years. He joined Bernhard’s Woodworking for several years after. It wasn’t all work with Ed. He loved to fly with friends, spend time with his grandkids and fix anything that needed repair, including his Model T. Edwin was a social person and truly enjoyed time spent with his friends at Becky’s.

He was married in Shell Lake on Dec. 30, 1967, to JoAnn Isabella who preceded him in death on Oct. 20, 2006. Ed was also preceded in death by his parents, sisters Dottie DesJardins, Barb Pederson and Donna

Hugh “Huey” G. Peterson

Hugh “Huey” G. Peterson, 71, Shell Lake, passed away Friday, March 15, 2013, at his home.

He was born Dec. 6, 1942, in Shell Lake, to Halmer and Gladys (Malmin) Peterson.

Hugh served in the U.S. Army as a private, wheel vehicle mechanic. He received a sharpshooter medal during his service and was honorably discharged into the National Guard to finish the remainder of his service in 1961.

Hugh was married on April 19, 1975, to Jeanne Donatell who preceded him in death on Jan. 1, 1991.

In his earlier years, he worked long hours at Yellow River Supply to take good care of his family but managed to enjoy cutting wood, hunting, snowmobiling and ice fishing with his kids on the weekends. During his retirement, he loved pugs, and enjoyed tinkering

with tractors, engines and all things mechanical. Hugh was very proud of both his children in his own way. He enjoyed filling his summer months traveling the countryside to watch his son, Ben, compete at local tractor pulls and was very proud of his daughter for recently continuing her education.

He is survived by his daughter, Joahna (Chad) Shelton, Shell Lake; his son, Ben (Cassey) Peterson, Shell Lake; and grandsons Devin, Samuel, Elijiah and Harley.

Joahna and Ben are respecting their father’s final wishes and no services will be held. A private spring burial will take place in the Shell Lake Cemetery.

Lo, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it; his appearance was as lightning and his clothes were as white as snow. For fear of him, the guards trembled and became as dead men.

And the angel said to the women, “Be not afraid I know that you seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He is risen.

He is not here. Why seek the living among the dead? Remember how he spoke to you while he was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful man and be crucified and on the third day rise again.’ Come now and see that place where he lay.” (Then they remembered his words.)

“Go quickly and tell his disciples and Peter that he is risen from the dead, and lo, he goes before you into Galilee. There, you will see him as he told you.”

Some went away with fear and trembling and said nothing because they were afraid. Others went away quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.

Does it feel like spring? Well, with spring coming in Wednesday, March 20, and with temps very cold, I’d have to say we haven’t had spring yet. I hear and see more birds around now. Don’t know what they are called but they make some singing.

Happy birthday to Cory Hammer on March 28. Have a great day Cory.

Happy birthday to Karen Vanderhoof, Lillian Strege, Cory Stone, Jessie Talbert and Jerney Meister all on March 29. Have a wonderful day each of you.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Eleanor Grunnes and to Esther Honetor on March 31. Have a great day.

Happy birthday wishes to Eric Casselious on April 1.

Have a great day Eric.

April 2 it’s happy birthday to Alicia Meister, Elsie Stellrecht, Don Doriott, Justin Parker and also to Danielle Star-

Sarona

iha. Have a wonderful day.

Happy birthday to Stephanie Vanderhoof and Alexis Babclik on April 3 with many more to come.

Saturday, Diane Hulleman attended a baby shower for her granddaughter, Amanda Bernais, held at the Jack and Ginny Schnell home. Lots of cousins attended. Chad and Colleen Jensen and Izzy also attended and came to Diane’s to stay overnight. Sunday, Diane, Colleen and Izzy attended church services at Lakeview Methodist Church while Chad went for a walk in the woods.

Cecil and Evelyn Melton visited Cecil’s sister, Doris Linton, last Sunday. She is getting along quite well.

Saturday found Jerry and Gretchen Best at Ben and Gale Kobernick’s where their daughter, Kelly, had a baby shower for her sister and honey, Rachel and Ryan Nuese.

Saturday, March 16, found Butch and Loretta VanSe-

lus attended a play put on by high school students. Their granddaughter Reyna Stone was a cast member. They said it was very good.

Jim Toll tells us his wife, Marilyn, who had back surgery a while back, is still at the recovery center and is on the mend. Jim says he continues to take therapy. Saturday he attended Lillian Ullom’s 90th birthday party at Salem Lutheran. Jim says he was told Claude McCarty isn’t in the best of shape. We hope you’re better soon.

Talking with Marv Knoop we find nobody driving on Bashaw Lake at this time. Marv says there’s too much slush on the lake.

Spring is a comin’, isn’t it?

Scatter sunshine. Have a great week!

by Marian Furchtenicht

It looks like the kids will be dealing with snow at Easter egg hunts this year. This week’s weather sounds milder so just maybe it will seem more like Easter.

The raccoons are out. I’ve seen a couple so far and the turkeys are spreading out, only see one or two at a time now. The Harvey Stodolas report seeing a chipmunk a couple of weeks back.

Mavis Schlapper has tomato seedlings up. Her daughter, Pam, had sent her some heritage seeds so she has started some of them. Sue Krantz said she ordered her seeds and is getting anxious.

There’s been no report of seeing the first robin. Butch Schaffer said the taps he and son Kyle put out a couple of weeks ago haven’t done a thing when he checked for sap on Saturday.

What great parties! There was lot of fun, food, family and friends for Lilly Ullom’s 90th birthday party Saturday.

To help her celebrate there were Ulloms from Glenwood City, family from Circle Pines, Minn., and Minneapolis, also granddaughter Julie Butterfield from Florida. I also took in the nice party for Ruth Thompson for her 90th held in the activity room at Lakeland Manor, also on Saturday. There was a good turnout, too. We wish many more happy birthdays for these great ladies.

Donna Ness and daughter Julie Butterfield drove to Goosebury Falls State Park and hiked on Sunday, having a great time. Julie left for her home in Florida on Wednesday.

Sarona folks extend condolences to Joahna Shelton and

family and Ben Peterson and family in the recent death of their father, Hugh Peterson, Shell Lake.

Sympathy to the family of Eddie Allen, 78, Shell Lake, who passed away March 22.

There were 17 in attendance Wednesday, March 20, at the Spooner High School Class of 1950 luncheon at Tracks.

Bill Fergerson reported on this year’s scholarship from our class to be going to a Spooner High School senior.

Vivian Bergman goes every other Tuesday to the Bethany Lutheran Church in Rice Lake to roll bandages for the Lutheran Relief Program. They get all the used sheets from the Rice Lake hospital and also other donated white sheets that are ripped and wrapped. Sounds like a very worthwhile project.

Mavis Schlapper and her sister, Joyce Wade, attended a jewelry party at Denelies Pizza in Spooner on Wednesday that was hosted by Jan Rath and the Lia Sophia Jewelry consultant Debbie Vogel.

Mavis Schlapper drove to Stevens Point on Saturday and visited daughter Karen Kline, staying overnight and visiting son Wayne on Sunday.

Friday evening, I met brother Don Shoquist, sisters Nell Lee and Sharon Wilber and husband Merle for an early sibling Easter get-together at Riverstreet for fish fry. Afterward Nell and I enjoyed the play “Tish” at Spooner High School. They did a great job with lots of lines to remember.

Birthday wishes to Elaine Krugar, her sister, Lois in Fort Meyer, Rachelle Hansen and John Schmitz, March 28; Pam Cernocky and Angela Mancl, March 29; Carrie Olek, Jack

Brown, Marion Foged, Layne Meyer, Kya Coulter, March 30; Dorothy Foltz, at the Rice Lake convalescent center turns 100 that day. Just think of all the changes that there have been in her lifetime. Chuck Lutz turns 90 on March 31, others that day are Diane Pierce, Bobby Pease and Ariel Samuelson, the Early Morning Farm News reporter turns 79. Dewey Butterfield, Audrey Cusick, Jon Rieten, Bernadette Friedel, Tom Smith, Jerry Kubista, Mary Nicholas and Mary Frey, April 1; Dorothy LeMoine, Russell Campbell, Ashley Krugar, April 2; Bev Gallo, Larry Lee, Mike Johnson, Randy Wingler, Isaac Cusisk and Kenny Reiter, April 3; and also Ann (Roeser) Rohlik, at Durand Nursing Home, turns 105 that day. Wow. A great one is wished to each.

Wedding anniversary wishes to these couples. Tony and Rachelle Johnson, March 28; Keith and Dorinda Kemp, March 29; Bob and Becki Hall, March 31; and Tony and Shannon Ullom, their second on April 2.

Remember to vote on Tuesday, April 2.

Shell Lake FFA attends EDGE Conference GREEN BAY — Shell Lake FFA junior high members Jordyn Monson, Austin Schultz, Dominic Hopke, Stephanie Tinsley, Katie Crosby, Clare Walker, Marty Anderson and Christian Monson attended the Wisconsin EDGE Conference at the Hyatt on Main/KI Convention Center in Green Bay, Friday, March 22, and Saturday, March 23. This is a personal development conference designed especially for junior high and middle school students in the FFA organization.

EDGE, which stands for experiencing, discovery, growth and excellence, is a personal development conference designed to help young students learn how they can develop and maintain a positive outlook on life, deal with negative peer pressures, and motivate themselves and others. EDGE provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to set and achieve goals in all areas of their lives. This year’s theme was The Team Experience.

“EDGE is a conference designed to help younger students better understand who they are. Over 250 junior high/middle school members attended this conference which is designed to

meet the needs of younger FFA members and it helps them realize their potential early on,” said Cheryl Zimmerman, state FFA executive director.

“This conference brings out the very best in the students who participate. It really helps the students focus on who they are and what they can become.”

EDGE is a conference presented by YourNextSpeaker! from Edmond, Okla.

Rhett Laubach works with student organizations, associations and corporations.

He is a professional communicator, author, leadership expert and founder/ operator of YourNextSpeaker. Drawing from his 20 years of speaking and training experience, Laubach’s ability to connect with his audience – whether students or professionals - and his unprecedented stage energy are second to none.

The Wisconsin Association of FFA is comprised of 255 local chapters preparing nearly 19,000 students in high school and junior high for careers in agriculture. FFA is making a positive difference in the lives of young people, today and in the future. — from FFA

attendees. Her presentation covered the Native American migration from the East Coast along the Great Lakes chain to the Lake Superior area. This migration was based on a vision that promised them food that grows on the water, meaning wild rice. The current Indian reservations are located in the local tricounty area, which made it more relevant and enjoyable.

Saturday afternoon’s program, a class to make stained-glass birds, was filled, with a total participation of 10. Carmen Carlson of Firefly Stained Glass out of Weyerhaeuser provided all the supplies so participants could grind glass, foil, assemble and solder their precut birds.

Participants had the option of making a stained-glass hummingbird, chickadee, blue jay or cardinal.

Saturday evening featured an owl presentation by Chris Cold, wildlife technician with the WDNR out of Ladysmith. Over 70 people attended the evening program, which described features of owls, owls found in Wisconsin and the harsh realities of a long, cold winter on owl populations. Cold also brought along a live barred owl and a great horned owl. — submitted by Gene Romsos

Spooner drama club presents “Tish” The Spooner High School drama club finished up the season with the production of “Tish” Friday-Sunday, March 22-24, at the Spooner High School auditorium.

Throw in a romance between an itinerant pilot and a spinster running a small hotel and you have the makings for a funny comedy. Shown (L to R): Hannah Stellrecht as Aunt Aggie, Rachel Temple as the spinster Ellen, Clare Ringlien as Aunt Lizzie, Mariah Schultz as Tish Carberry and Keith Richardson as the perplexed romantic lead.
