SHELL LAKE — Easter egg hunt in Shell Lake. The annual Easter egg hunt, sponsored by the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce, will start at 10 a.m. sharp on Saturday, April 7. This annual event will be held in the municipal campground. There will be several age divisions. — from Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce ••• MADISON — April Law of the Month; Wisconsin’s Absolute Sobriety Law means not a drop of alcohol for drivers under age 21. All drivers under age 21 don’t have to guess about how much alcohol they may drink and still legally get behind the wheel. Wisconsin law requires absolute sobriety for drivers under age 21, which means they may not consume any amount of alcohol, not even a drop, and legally operate a motor vehicle. Young drivers convicted of violating Wisconsin’s Absolute Sobriety Law will have their license suspended for three months. They also will have to pay a $389.50 citation and will have four demerit points assessed on their license. “At any age, even a small amount of alcohol may impair decisionmaking, reaction time, and other mental and physical skills needed to drive safely. But teens and young people, who tend to take more risks and generally have less driving experience, are especially susceptible to traffic crashes after drinking,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Captain Jeff Frenette of the Northwest Region. “In Wisconsin, traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young people. And as the prom and graduation party season begins, we don’t want young drivers or their passengers to suffer serious injuries or tragic deaths because of a disastrous decision, such as getting behind the wheel after drinking.” — from WSP

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Despite the potential this spring for the most dangerous wildfire season northwestern Wisconsin has seen in years, fire activity thus far has been minimal in the blowdown area - a quarter million acres of downed timber in six counties - including Washburn - from the severe windstorm last July. The DNR attributes the minimal fire activity to a prohibition on burning. But the agency is warning the public that conditions for wildfires remain high - with dry, tall grass standing up due to a lack of snow this winter, coupled with the downed timber from the storm. No burning permits are being issued now and a total burning ban - including outdoor grilling and smoking - is a possibility. The number of tanker airplanes used to fight wildfires each spring has been doubled at both Solon Springs and Siren, areas adjacent to and in the blowdown, to ensure a

quick response.
Season under way In the last two weeks, two buildings were burned and another six were threatened. Debris burning is the main cause of wildfires in the state, followed by equipment. Cumberland Dispatch Group has had 10 fires for 13.45 acres since the first of the year. Since March 1, there have been five fires, burning 7.2 acres. Firefighting personnel saved four structures and lost one, an old barn near Shell Lake. When burning leaves and brush as part of the spring cleanup routine, the DNR advised everyone to always adhere to permit restrictions. Burning permits are frequently suspended this time of year. Check each day after 11 a.m. on the DNR Web site, dnr.wi.gov (search “burn”) or call 888WIS-BURN before starting a fire. People are asked to use extra caution when disposing of ash from fireplaces and wood heaters – make sure they are completely cold to the touch before dumping outdoors.

Deer tests positive for CWD near Shell Lake
First case of its kind in northern Wisconsin
by Marty Seeger Special to the Register
SHELL LAKE – The DNR announced on Monday, April 2, that a 3-1/2-year-old doe tested positive for chronic wasting disease in Washburn County. The doe was killed by the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office just west of Shell Lake last fall after someone reported the sick deer on a small parcel of private land. Tissue samples were sent to the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Lab and the USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Ames, Iowa, where both confirmed CWD-positive deer. The final lab test results were received by the DNR on Friday, March 30. This is the first-known deer to test positive for CWD in northern Wisconsin, and in the state’s Ceded Territory, after it was first discovered more than 100 miles away
in southern Wisconsin, near Mount Horeb in 2002. That was the first time the fatal brain disease was found east of the Mississippi River, and the DNR took action to isolate and eradicate the problem using sharpshooters and hunters, to kill as many deer as possible. DNR efforts to contain the disease not only caused discontent among the public but cost millions of dollars. This fall, the DNR will be taking a somewhat different approach by creating a disease surveillance zone within a 10-mile radius around the location where the CWD-positive deer was located. “The fall archery and gun deer hunting seasons provide excellent, cost-effective methods to collect valuable samples,” said Kurt Thiede, land administrator for the DNR in a DNR press release. DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp also made a statement saying hunters won’t likely see any change for the upcoming hunting season. “No changes are anticipated this fall in the broad framework of the hunting sea-
Deputy position approved
Board bids farewell to Allard and Campbell
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – By a vote of 11 yes, 10 no, the Washburn County board voted at their regular monthly meeting, March 20, to authorize Sheriff Terry Dryden to fill a deputy position left vacant last year by the death of Deputy Jerry McAllister Jr. Keith Dahlstrom, fire chief of the Shell Lake Fire Association, spoke of the importance of the deputy position to the community as a whole and the importance of having the position with support in conducting their jobs in the emergency field. The motion to fill the deputy position went to a roll call vote. Voting for the position were: Steven “Fluffy” Sather, Michael (Don) Quinton, Tom Mackie, Robert Lester, Beth Esser, William Allard, Robert Washkuhn, David Haessig, James Dohm, Larry Ford and William Campbell. Voting not to fill the position were: James Pearson, Lester “Skip” Fiedler, Steven Waggoner, Nell Lee, Tom Ricci, Clay Halverson, Tim Brabec, Greg Krantz, Romaine Quinn and Dan Hubin. Farewell to two supervisors The county board had its last meeting with Supervisors William Allard and William Campbell on Tuesday, March 20. The two supervisors announced they were not seeking re-election. County board Chairman Steve Sather expressed thanks to the supervisors and the youth representatives for their service on the county board. Bullying in our neighborhood Jill Keefer, resident of the Town of Long Lake for over 40 years, spoke out against a resort being granted a rural residential zoning status.
“There’s a place for everything, and everything has its place,” Keefer said, quoting Benjamin Franklin, adding, “I think he said it best.” Keefer is against the rezoning, which will add a resort in her neighborhood. She said “You hear about bullying in schools and in the workplace, but what we have here is bullying in our neighborhood.” The county board later voted to overturn the zoning committee’s decision to rezone properties belonging to the Hlavas.
County board rules of procedure Board members discussed the duties and latitude of committees. Jeff Kohler, corporate council for the county, indicated that the chair is delegated with interpretation of the rules, and committees are subjective to the county board. Previously, Clay Halverson questioned the authority of the personnel committee in regard to who has the authority in approving and denying positions. Halverson responded previously about the questions. “The question arose as to the rules of order that the county board has voted on in past county board meetings part one and part two, what is the correct interpretation of these rules of order. Has the county board vested authority in the personnel committee to fill or not fill positions? That’s the chief question I think that has to be answered first. And then secondly, if the county board has vested that authority to the personnel committee, what is the correct process for the board to override that? Is it a two-thirds vote or an overall majority? I think those are important questions so we make sure we are operating by the rules.” Other news The county has tabled the land acquisition position again to wait for more answers on taxes and expenses this will subsequently cost the county.
sons,” said Stepp. “We are reviewing today’s news with our wildlife experts and are reaching out to notify the DNR Board, tribal representatives, the DATCP and the Minnesota DNR. In addition, we have relayed this information to Dr. Kroll.” Stepp is referring to Dr. James Kroll, of Nacogdoches, Texas, who was appointed by Gov. Scott Walker to give an “independent, objective and scientifically based review of Wisconsin’s management practices.” Kroll was hired with DNR money at a cost of $125,000 and submitted his preliminary report recently that stated that the CWD eradication effort was a “failure.” Rick Anderson, of AAA Sports near Spooner, is a hunter in the area and had just found out about the CWD-positive deer near Shell Lake, and felt that the DNR was taking the right approach. “I think the DNR is on the right track of just letting it ride until we find additional (CWD-positive deer),” said Anderson, and since many people in the area tend to rely on deer and other wildlife as a main food source, he doesn’t expect much of a change in attitudes toward eating deer. But he did say there’s still some consternation between the DNR and the hunting public. Many feel that the DNR has already tried reducing the deer herd to an unacceptable level. “For those that want to go out and get venison. I don’t think that that’s going to be an issue. For those that are on the fence of even buying a hunting license anymore, because of the garbage that’s been going on, that might change some of their minds,” Anderson said. While some are in favor of a more cautious approach, others may feel that the DNR isn’t being aggressive enough. Polk County Conservation Congress Chair Wally Trudeau is worried about further spread of the disease and suggested it might be best to take a more active approach toward testing deer in the concen-
trated area. “If they go in and shoot a bunch of deer in a concentrated area, there’s going to be some negative comments about that. But I would think people would rather see some heavy samples to find out just exactly what the heck they’ve got going on,” said Trudeau. Although an eradication effort is unlikely, state statutes require that the DNR “enact a ban on the feeding and baiting of deer in any county within 10 miles of any captive or free-roaming deer that tests positive for either CWD or TB. The DNR press release further states, “this CWD-positive deer is within Washburn County and may be within 10 miles of Barron, Burnett and Polk counties. The department anticipates the ban on baiting and feeding within these counties to take effect this fall.” Thiede noted, “The location of this deer was more than 100 miles from the nearest known cases of the disease in either wild or captive deer. Our field staff will be working with local citizens, registration stations, processors and taxidermists to collect tissue samples to learn if any other sick deer exist near this case.” The DNR will also collect adult roadkilled deer to gather additional samples. CWD is a nervous system disease of deer, moose and elk. It belongs to the family of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases. CWD occurs only in members of the cervid or deer family, both wild and captive. Current information suggests that CWD may be transmitted both directly through animal-to-animal contact and indirectly from a CWD-prion contaminated environment. Recent studies indicate that CWD prions exist in the saliva, urine and feces of infected deer.

applications for grants that would provide funds for up to 70 percent of specific costs associated with the storm damage. Douglas County submitted applications related to three separate events - July 1, July 19 and Aug. 2, 2011-that involved 27 communities. Burnett County had 23 communities that applied for funds. There are four applications that require additional paperwork to be completed for eligible expenses. Recently, eight northwestern Wisconsin communities were scheduled to receive disaster assistance funding to help offset emergency response and debris cleanup costs. Washburn County: Town of Chicog - $46,170; Burnett County:
Town of Siren - $677, and Town of Swiss - $40,597; Douglas County: Town of Bennett - $6,515, Town of Dairyland - $3,204, Town of Dairyland - $24,153, Town of Highland - $3,109, and Town of Oakland - $7,960. Community/county financial support for the 2012 Fire Management Assistance Grant Program - Wisconsin Emergency Management and Gov. Walker signed the FEMA State Agreement. The program provides assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Act for a fire or fire complex that threatens such destruction as would constitute a major disaster. This support is helping communities fight against forest fires this year.

Mining reform Robert discussions continue Jauch
Immediately following adjournment of the legislative session, I sent Gov. Walker a letter encouraging him to create a bipartisan panel that would bring legislators to the table to achieve consensus on the controversial mining reform legislation. I was pleased when the governor contacted me in response to the letter and gave Sen. Schultz and I each an opportunity to meet with him to review possible options on how he could proceed to enable a dialogue that would result in recommendations to achieve responsible mining regulatory reform. It was a very cordial and productive meeting in which we agreed that despite the rigorous political debate, there is a sincere willingness by the three of us to continue the dialogue to find common ground on the issue. In our conversation, I reminded the governor that there is already substantial agreement between the two plans that could be used as a blueprint for compromise. There are seven items in which the sides completely agree and

six other items where each side addresses the same topic, but utilizes a different approach. During our lengthy conversation no one made excuses or talked about blame. It was a positive and honest conversation between public officials who were genuinely looking for a resolution to a complicated, controversial and polarizing issue. We also agree that it would not make sense to call a special session unless there was a compromise that could engender majority support in the Assembly and Senate. We agree that it is best to remove the issue from the scorched earth political environment that has alienated public officials and polarized the public. Rather than appointing a bipartisan group of legislators it would be better to look outside the Capitol for individuals with balanced expertise and aren’t personally entangled in the parti-
Burnett, Douglas and Washburn communities to receive $141,058 in disaster assistance funding
Brings the total amount of reimbursements to Northwestern Wisconsin to $715,000
MADISON – Nine northwestern Wisconsin communities will soon receive $141,058 in disaster assistance funding to help offset emergency response and debris cleanup costs associated with the severe weather that hit the area last summer, Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, announced on Tuesday, March 27. Following the historic 2011 storms that destroyed 136,000 acres of trees, 31 northern communities filed claims for an estimated $2.1 million in cleanup costs. The Wisconsin Disaster Relief Fund provides grants up to 70 percent of certain costs associated with storm damage. “This program is a lifesaver for local taxpayers who simply would not be able to pay the extraordinary costs associated with debris cleanup,” said Jauch, who helped create the disaster program. “Many local towns deferred local road projects and reduced other services so these funds will enable officials to once
again reinvest in their communities.” Last summer, the disaster fund faced a $1 million deficit, and Jauch worked with Gov. Walker to secure an additional $1 million to ensure that adequate funding would be available. In addition, the northern lawmaker has been working closely with emergency management staff to finalize claims so that communities can receive the state aid. During the past several months, 23 northern communities have received a total of $715,000 in state assistance. “While I am pleased that the state has been able to help so many communities, there remains an obligation to assist the communities who still have outstanding claims. My office will continue to coordinate efforts between local and state officials to see to it that the remaining funds are distributed as soon as possible,” he concluded. This round of reimbursements include: In Burnett County, Town of Siren, $676; and the Town of Swiss, $40,597.22. For Douglas County, the Town of Bennett, $6,514.62; the Town of Dairyland, $3,204.26, July 1 storm; Town of Dairyland, $24,152.77, Aug. 1 storm; the Town of Highland, $3,109.30; and the Town of Oakland, $7,959.73. In Washburn County, the Town of Chicog, $46,169.97. — from the office of Sen. Jauch

he Washburn County Board of Supervisors met on Thursday, March 20. A major topic of discussion was the adoption of the Washburn County Personnel Handbook. This is a manual designed to establish procedures and policy for hiring, managing and terminating employees. It was designed by Kim Frankenberg, personnel director, with the assistance of Mindy Dale, a labor attorney used by the county. This handbook was adopted by the board with only minor changes and should assist both managers and employees.
san political discourse. All of us agree that Tim Sullivan, the chair of the Wisconsin Mining Association, would be a very credible individual who could facilitate the dialogue. We have all maintained ongoing conversations with Sullivan and are comfortable with his grasp of the issues. Most importantly, we are confident that he could reach out and work well with a diverse group of stakeholders that would be committed to recommending a consensus document. Recently, Sullivan had a constructive, two-hour conversation with former DNR Secretary George Meyer that I believe created a good foundation for future dialogue. A week ago, Sullivan also met with Sen. Cullen, Schultz and I in a productive conversation during which there was mutual agreement on the goal of regulatory reform. We discussed other individuals who we believe would provide objective and constructive input that could result in a thorough review of the regulatory process and consensus legislation. Schultz and I encouraged involvement with tribal representatives. We agree that the review should focus on ways to improve the predictability and
certainty of the regulatory process. Between the two legislative proposals there is already a sufficient foundation for reasonable compromise. It will take a third party to solidify this compromise. We agree that an eventual proposal can be achieved, but it will take some time. In this hot-blooded political climate, with upcoming recalls and November elections, too much attention will be focused on politics instead of policy. Over the course of a year, I have had dozens of similar conversations with DNR and the governor’s staff. However, the conversation I had with the governor is exactly the kind that leads to resolution of complicated issues. A year ago I pledged to work for reasonable, responsible and realistic mining regulatory reform that is fair and flexible, protects the public voice and doesn’t weaken environmental standards. The hypertensive partisan charged debate has deeply polarized citizens and contributed to an impasse, but I remain committed to finishing the job. If the only result is the bitter aftertaste of indecision we will not have served the public well. I will continue to keep my word to serve the public and complete the task.
Letters to the editor
I have decided
Sue Hansen said we must decide. Well, I decided to write and let people know I am 100 percent for Gov. Scott Walker and also getting rid of the worst corrupt federal government. I want to thank Allen Heil for his letters that he writes. He is right on. People, this year is very important by the way we vote. First we have only three months to get the true facts out before we vote for Gov. Walker. Second, we have only seven months of freedom before we vote for the president of the United States. I would like to make a comment about Gov. Walker’s fundraiser. It was held on the same block as the Catholic church was hosting a free meal for the poor and hungry folks. I would like to ask Sue how many hungry folks could be fed from the $9 million it cost us taxpayers to host the needless recall election. By the way, the Democratic party in Wisconsin doesn’t have to put on a fundraiser because they are bought and paid for by the unions. That was a real nice picture in the newspaper about Walker’s visit. People were holding up signs but I could only read one. However, the people I could see were laughing and having a good time. Sue says we are in a great recession and Gov. Walker is holding the Wisconsin economy under water. If it is under water it must have been skinning when Mary Hubler and the rest of the road runners in Madison pulled the plug. By the way, she doesn’t know what a great recession is about. I’ll give you a clue, when the casinos’ lights go out and the tavern lights are turned up, now we have a recession. Rep. Roger Rivard is right on about privatizing Social Security because the federal government saw all this money and used it as a slush fund. Whenever they had a pet project with no money allotted for it, the dipped into the SS money. It has been estimated that billions of dollars came out of Social Security. Roger is just looking out for those of us that depend on Social Security.
The board disapproved a rezoning petition and amendatory ordinance for short-term rentals of residences, less than 30 days, in a residential area. I voted against this change. As written, it would allow a commercial business in a residential area on Long Lake, which is against good zoning procedures. If you have any comments or questions please contact me at 715-468-2528. Editor’s note: This was written for last week and was held to be printed after the election on Tuesday, April 3.
News from District 54 • Dan Hubin
By privatizing SS it would be taken out of the hands of big government. Of course, the Democrats don’t want to see their slush fund disappear. Now they don’t have any money to pay back into Social Security. I would like to make a few comments about the demonstrations in Madison at the state Capitol. It kind of blew my mind seeing the teachers showing our kids it is all right to skip school. It is all right to show disrespect for authority. It is OK to trash our state Capitol. Oh, look kids; you can go through the window. It is OK to show disrespect toward our elected officials. That’s our wonderful teachers. Bob Ostenson Spooner
Clarification on EDC story

Due to production difficulties, a paragraph concerning the Shell Lake ATV Campground did not appear correctly. It should have read: Andy Eiche gave a detailed presentation on the proposed Shell Lake ATV Campground. He presented this information to the Shell Lake Parks and Recreation Committee, and it will now go before the full city council. Financial support for the project would be sought through a grant from the state of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The grant is funded through ATV-user fees. The campground could include up to 28 sites with 50-amp electric and water at each site. With as little disruption of the land as possible, there would also be a shower building with flush toilets in addition to a pit toilet.

The story of John Griffith
fter hearing the following story about John Griffith, I felt it was an appropriate story of Easter for those following the Christian faith. Hank Hanegraaff of the Christian Research Institute shared the following story in a message he gave in 2010: “This story occurred in 1937 to a man who was a drawbridge operator. John Griffith brought his 8-yearold son to work with him to show him what he did all day. The little boy was so excited when he saw his father flip a switch and the huge bridge lifted up. “It was noon and there were no trains due for quite a while, so the father put the bridge up and went with his son to an observation deck. They were unaware of the time until suddenly they heard the shrieking of a distant train whistle. The Memphis Express would be rushing across the bridge in just a couple of minutes. John told his son to stay where he was and he jumped back onto the catwalk, climbed the ladder to the control room and put his hand on the huge level that controlled the bridge. “He looked down to see if there were any small boats beneath the bridge and suddenly he saw something that made his blood freeze and his heart leap into his throat. His little boy had tried to follow him to the control room and had fallen into the huge gearbox with the monstrous gears that operated the bridge. His son’s left leg was caught between the two main gears and John knew that if he pushed the switch his son would be ground to pieces between 8 tons of grinding steel. His eyes filled with tears of panic. What could he do? There was too much machinery noise to shout a warning to his son who was too far away to hear. What could he do? There were 400 people’s lives at risk. But on the other hand, this was his only son. He had to make a choice — it was his son or the people on the train. Now he could see the train coming fast. He couldn’t save his son and the train. “In an instant he knew what he must do. So he buried his head in his arm and he pushed
the big gear forward. The bridge was slowly lowered into place, just as the train roared across. Then he lifted his face, sobbing with tears running down his face, he looked down and saw his son’s mangled body entangled in the huge gears. But the bridge was in place and as the train passed over the bridge he looked into the flashing windows and the faces of the passengers as the train raced by. “He saw men reading the afternoon paper; a conductor in a uniform looking at a pocketwatch; ladies sipping tea; and children eating ice cream. But nobody looked back at the control room. Nobody saw his tears. Nobody looked down at the great gearbox where his son’s body lay. “In heart-wrenching agony he beat against the window of the control room and said, ‘What’s wrong with you people, don’t you care? I sacrificed my son for you. Don’t any of you care.’ Nobody looked. And the train disappeared across the river. With tears in his eyes, the drawbridge operator thought, ‘I gave my son so they could live.’ “This is the same thing that God did with his son, Jesus. God gave his one and only son, at great cost to him, so we could have everlasting life with him. God saw his son die on the cross so we could be saved. Yet people go merrily on their way without thinking of the great sacrifice God made so we could live in eternity with him. So many people just nod to God and don’t think much about God’s incredible sacrifice to keep us out of hell. It’s astonishing that the creator of the universe gave his son for us so that we could spend forever with him in heaven. “For those that believe in Jesus, the story doesn’t end with his death. Three days later, Jesus arose from the grave. For this reason we celebrate the broken body, the shed blood, the mangled remains of our Savior with joy, because Jesus overcame death and the grave through his resurrection.”

WASHBURN COUNTY — The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® of Washburn County gives everyone in the community a chance to help the organization save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Register your team today by visiting RelayForLife.org/WashbumCountyWi or by calling Steve Clay at 715-416-0486. Former and current cancer patients, those who have lost a loved one to cancer, families, businesses, faith-based and civic organizations, and anyone wanting to make a difference in the fight against cancer are invited to take part in this exciting team event. The Relay For Life of Washburn County will take place from 6 p.m. on Friday, June 1, until 8 a.m., on Saturday, June 2, at the Shell Lake School track. No Place Like Hope is this year’s theme. Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faithbased groups — people from all walks of life — all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost, and fighting back against the disease. Relay For Life events are held as individuals and teams gather at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their relay. “Relay For Life draws attention to the progress being made in the fight against cancer,” said Clay, Relay For Life of Washburn County event chair. “Many
participants are our family, friends, and neighbors who have faced cancer themselves. Their involvement helps brings hope that, together, we can eliminate cancer as a major health problem.” Information about how to form a team or become involved in Relay For Life is available at RelayForLife.org or by calling 800-227-2345. The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than 3 million volunteers, the society fights for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. They save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest nongovernmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, the cancer society turns what they know about cancer into what they do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about the American Cancer Society or to get help, call anytime, day or night, 800-227-2345, or visit cancer.org. — from Relay For Life Washburn County

Highlights of Barron Electric Cooperative’s 76th-annual meeting
BARRON — More than 620 members attended Barron Electric’s 76th-annual meeting on Saturday, March 24. The theme of the meeting was International Year of Cooperatives. Longtime board Director Norman Busse retired, after serving 39 years on the board, representing District 5. Larry Kuhl and Russell Rindsig were both nominated by petition for this district. Larry Kuhl was elected director for District 5 by ballot with a count of 164 to 137. Incumbents Arlyn Helm, District 1, and Beverly Buckner, District 7, were both re-elected to serve a three-year term. General Manager Dallas Sloan showed a video to members where Barron Electric line crews were using the rubber-gloving process. “Linemen work on energized lines, keeping the power on for the members. More than 4,000 members did not experience an outage, due to this process,” remarked Sloan. Linemen attend monthly training meetings to review safety guidelines. “Our goal is to keep our employees safe, while providing reliable power,” commented Sloan. Selmer Nelson, president of Barron Electric’s Board of Directors, said, “Barron Electric enjoyed another successful year of operation. We appreciate our members participation in the annual meeting.” He added, “Congratulations on helping the cooperative continue to provide energy, products and other services to improve the quality of life in the area we serve for the past 76 years.” Don Huff, director of environmental affairs at Dairyland Power Cooperative, addressed the membership regarding the impact of environmental regulations on Dairyland. Huff said, “It is important for Dairyland to keep up with compliance on new regulations.” When asked about the cost of renewables, Huff commented, “Dairyland has over 10-percent renewables. Renewables cost 50-100 percent more than coal.” Sen. Robert Jauch, D-Popular, told members, “America’s greatest success story is the Rural Electrification Administration, which brought power to the rural areas. Cooperatives are tolerant and understanding. Government needs to borrow a page from cooperatives.” At the board of director’s reorganization meeting, the

Abuse Awareness Month sparks class
SHELL LAKE — It’s finally April, the month of Easter, flowers and sunshine. It’s also National Abuse Awareness Month. Not just one kind of abuse, but all of them, from alcohol to sexual assaults, child abuse and beyond. Whoever chose April for this theme could have picked a more appropriate month, say November, when the days are short and dreary, with winter right around the corner. But when you think of the abuses that are suffered by people every day, everywhere, April is a good choice after all. While the majority of us are basking in spring, others are living in their own continuous dark November of abuse. There is help for those who are abused or exploited, help offered by Bonnie Peterson and Chris Nash who work as abuse advocates through their office in Spooner at the Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter located at 103 Oak St. As advocates, these women offer a full spectrum of resources and referrals in order to connect individuals with other helping agencies in the community. They do this through a 24-hour toll-free crisis line, 800-924-0556, and through drop-in visits at their office along with the office phone number, 725-635-5245. This year, to honor the month of April’s outreach, these women aligned with The Body Shop in Shell Lake to sponsor a self-defense class for women and girls. Three separate times were set up for these three-hour classes, and all of the available spots filled quickly. Participants were asked to wear loose clothing and to bring their purses. During the first hour, Body Shop owner Matt Dryden, certified state of Wisconsin Principles Of Subject Control instructor, talked about attitude, saying that sometimes just having an air of confidence is enough to defer an attack by a possible attacker. “If you feel someone is following you,” stated Dryden, “turn around, look them in the eye and ask if you can help them.” He also stated that it is important for women and girls to always be aware of their surroundings, especially since the attitude has to be, “I will not go anywhere with this person. They will not take me out of where I am now and I’m willing to fight, scream and yell in order to not be taken. “Remember,” he said, “this person that is planning on taking you somewhere has a plan. Your response is to have your own plan and throw them off of theirs. Attackers will often change their minds about taking you if you stand your ground and aren’t the easy target they thought you were. Try not to be completely alone ever and always pay attention to where you are and your surroundings.” The second hour was spent with the women and students on their feet at the punching bags getting used to
In the third hour of the self-defense class, students were invited to beat up Matt Dryden, the instructor, who was wearing a Redman suit. — Photos submitted
hitting “soft tissue.” There are many places on a man’s body that you can do enough damage in order to get away. You don’t have to fight to the finish; you’re just buying valuable time.” It was at this point that Dryden asked women what they had in their purses that could be used for defense. Some had metal fingernail files. One had pepper spray and another a registered gun. “Whatever it is that you are using for defense,” he said, “make sure it’s close to the surface so you can find it as soon as possible. And if you’re using any kind of spray, spray it a few times into the air to see if it’s a stream or a cloud of spray. That could make a huge difference. The stream kind needs to be delivered as closely to the face as possible. A cloud spray could come back with the wind and be more damaging to the one using it.” Before the third hour started, breathing was discussed. “Your heart rate is going to go through the roof and you need to remember to breathe or you will run out of energy and strength too soon. “Remember, too, that you and your body come first. Survival starts in your head so be mentally prepared to fight with whatever you’ve got in order to gain that escape moment.” During hour three, Dryden donned the Redman suit and each woman had their chance to fight for their survival. In one of the sessions, Keara Olsen, a fifth-grade student from Spooner, was reluctant to get involved with Dryden while he was wearing the Redman suit, but after participating once, Olsen was up for the fight and ended up volunteering to have a third go at her aggressor. The women and girls were first taught how to drop onto one hip that would enable them to kick their attacker within a 365-degree circle. Many of them did ex-
actly that as Dryden grabbed them either from the front or the back, and they broke his hold by dropping to the floor. Once on the floor they proceeded to kick delicate areas and to poke at his face in hopes to hit an eye or his nose. The next practice began when the women and girls were lying on the floor to demonstrate what to do if they were awakened by someone standing next to or getting into their beds. “Squirm, squirm all you can, remember your attacker has one thing in mind and even if your hands are being held above your head and your legs are weighed down by his body, you can still squirm until your attacker makes the move he’s there for, removing an arm, then you’ve also got an arm free, so do your worst to his face.” It was back in the 1980s when, by presidential proclamation, April’s National Abuse Awareness program started and ever since agencies throughout the United States are providing programs for women who are living with abusers or who have been attacked and abused by a stranger. Peterson and Nash decided to offer a pre-emptive strike class for women and girls in Washburn County who do not intend to ever become victims in the first place – women who have an attitude of survival. What were the occupations of some of the women who took these classes? There were teachers, nurses, bookkeepers, housewives, and students from fifth grade through high school, all learning the sometimes disastrous results of not being aware of their surroundings or presenting a meek body language or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Before each class began, Peterson gave out information on what her Bonnie Peterson, Timeoffice provides and en- Out Family Abuse Shelter couraged everyone if Inc. advocate, addressed they need to talk, or each group of women at knew someone who the beginning of the reneeded to talk, to give cent self-defense classes them a call because it’s at The Body Shop in Shell what they do; advocate Lake.

Spooner Middle School wrestler Sara Adamson pins her Northwestern opponent to take fifth place at the Heart O’North – Lakeland Conference meet held Friday, March 30, in Cumberland.
CAMERON/CUMBERLAND — The Spooner Middle School wrestling team had its last regular meet at Cameron on Thursday, March 27, and came away with a 104-to-32 win. The Rails were 9-0 this season. A major part of this success is due to the fact that the wrestlers improved, got more pins, and did not give up pins with their losses. At Cameron, the Rails gained 10 pins while only giving up a single pin. Those with pins were R.J. Anderson (3), Bryce Sahr, Blake Larson, Billy Hagberg, Tré Lawrence, Nick Graham, James Anders and Mark Nauertz. So far this season, the Rails have a total of 170 wins, 102 losses, and 95 pins. None of the Rails are undefeated and the average winning percentage is 54.9 percent. The 2012 Spooner Middle School wrestling team season came to an end this past week at the Heart O’ North – Lakeland Conference Wrestling Tournament in Cumberland. The Rails traveled to the tournament on Friday, March 30. Sixth-grader Bryce Sahr pinned his three opponents to capture first place. Eighth-grader Blake Larson also took first place and had one pin.

Fifth place went to Sara Adamson, Tim Meister and Mark Nauertz. Placing sixth was James Anders. Three other Spooner wrestlers were absent as they were wrestling at the National Wrestling Tournament in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, over the weekend. At the end-of-the-year awards ceremony, the Most Wins Award went to Mitch Shellito, Most Pins to Bryce Sahr, Most Valuable Wrestler to Tim Meister, Most Improved to Isaiah Skidmore and the Rudy Award to Brandon Jepson. Coaches Griffith and Melton praised each wrestler for their accomplishments and for their improvement. The team aspect was stressed as well as the definitions of commitment and relentless. They stressed that each great athlete in a school the size of Spooner is one that goes out for at least three sports and that they expect them to continue to work out and get into the weight room. The coaches expressed gratitude to the parents and managers for supporting Spooner wrestling, commenting, “Without their help, we wouldn’t have a program.” — from Spooner Area Schools

CUMBERLAND — The Shell Lake Middle School wrestling team ended their season at the Heart O’ North-Lakeland Conference wrestling meet Friday, March 30, in Cumberland. Earning first place was fifth-grader Cassie Lawrence. “It was another super season for Cassie. She is a very good wrestler,” praised wrestling coach Jim Campbell. Sean Heckel was also a first-place champ. He also had an outstanding season. “Sean has super potential as an athlete in any sport. He will be fun to watch the next six years,” commented Campbell. Levi Beecroft took second place. It was a good year for Beecroft. In second place, Dom Hopke had an outstanding season, winning many tourneys giving him a super season. Bob Bontekoe lost a close overtime match in the semifinals, giving him third place. With a third place, Jared Goetsch had a good first year. Carter Lawrence took fourth place. Campbell stated, “It was a very good year for Carter as he will be an outstanding wrestler in his future.” John Green and Ben Frey took sixth place. “John and Ben had a very good season and will be a major part of the Shell Lake wrestling program in the future along with Corey Kidder, Daniel Nielsen, Cody McTaggert and James Crawford,” added Campbell. Not wrestling in the end-of-year tourney, but also a part of the team, were Jordan Hill and Christian Monson. The middle school team had a good 5-8 wrestling season. — from Shell Lake Athletic Department

Track season is off and running
SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake track team traveled to UW-Stout in Menomonie on Saturday, March 24, and again on Friday, March 30. “It is always nice to have the indoor meets to get us excited for the season,” commented Coach Katrina Granzin. “At each meet we have had some very impressive performances, topping it all off with a new girls 4x400-meter relay record,” explained the coach. Terri Butler, Amanda Livingston, Tanya Zaloudek and Jenny Donatell set the original record in 1993 with a time of 4:22.6. “I knew this relay would be good but I never guessed they would break the record this early in the season, and it was two days after the meet when one of the girls asked if they did break the record. I had to look it up,” said Coach Granzin. With a time of 4:21.99, Shania Pokorny, Hannah Cassel, Emma Anderson and Jen Cassel are the new record holders of the 4x400-meter relay with a first-place finish. “I was curious how that would have ranked in the state last year and going to state was a 4:19 and it gives us things to talk about,” commented Granzin. Also placing at the meet, in third, for the girls were Anderson in the 1,600-meter run and the 4x800-meter relay consisting of Jen Cassel, Abigail Granzin, Pokorny and Anderson, with a time of 10:39.58. Placing sixth was Hana Anderson in the 200-meter dash with a 30.83. In seventh was Colleen Knoop in the shot put with a throw of 30 feet, 7.5 inches. Placing eighth was the boys 4x800M relay

team of Caleb Parker, Tanner Williams, Josiah Kay, and AJ Denotter, with a time of 9:13.01. “The places they received are great but I love to see the improvements they make with each meet,” stated Granzin. Improving from last year’s times were Granzin in the
1,600, Curtis Parker in the 200 and Williams in the 3,200. Already making improvements this year are Granzin in the 3,200-meter run, Cheyenne Tiegs and Trevor Anderson, both in the long jump, and David Brereton in the triple jump. — from Shell Lake Athletic Department

Well, did you know it costs 2.4¢ to make a penny! And they say pennies aren’t worth anything. Last Wednesday found Diane Hulleman going to Lakeview Medical Center for eye surgery. She stayed over at her daughter’s, Nancy’s, that night and went back to have her eye checked the next morning and then came home. Glad to hear it went OK. Talking with Allene Peterson we find she had surgery at Lakeview Medical Center recently. Her appendix was inflamed, and she had to have it out. Allene is very happy to report that her grandson, Brian, and his wife had a baby boy weighing 6 pounds 3 ounces and 19-1/2 inches long. He was born in Salina, Kan. Great to hear you have greatgrandson Allene. At this time, Allene says she isn’t feeling up to par so we hope you’re better soon. You’ll have to watch Diane Hulleman’s house. Why? Well, she is puttin’ on cement siding in white with green trim. Sounds good, Diane. My sister, Dot Gudlin, who lives in New Berlin, had her lawn cut recently. She said it needed it and it looks great. Talking with Jim Toll we find Jim has been busy clean-
Happy Easter! There will be a Maundy Thursday service at Barronett Lutheran at 7 p.m. this Thursday, and Good Friday service at 7 p.m. on Friday. You remember, of course, that the Barronett Lutheran youth group will be hosting Easter breakfast before the worship service on Sunday morning. Breakfast will start at 7:30 a.m., and worship service will be at the regular time of 9 a.m. The kids do such a great job of cooking and serving breakfast, and we all have such a nice time eating and visiting. We hope you can join us for breakfast and the Easter service. It’s the perfect time to get to know the congregation of our church a little better. Guess what? Leanne and Joey Reichhoff have a new baby girl! Yup, Oskar is now officially a big brother. Oskar’s little sister arrived on the scene this past week. I haven’t met her yet, but Duane has already been introduced to her and told me that she is just the cutest little thing. I was in Monroe on Sunday and didn’t get home until it was too late to call Joey and Leanne to get all the details of their new little bundle of joy, but I will fill you in next week. You probably remember that on the day Oskar was born, Joey had a perfect (29) Cribbage hand. When I talk to them I’ll be sure to ask if he was playing Cribbage while he was waiting for his little girl to arrive, and, if so, if he was that lucky again. The Easter party, hosted by members of Barronett Civic Club on Saturday, was a lot of fun. There were about 75 kids taking part in the festivities, which included four activity tables, four game stations and a cakewalk. Jayme Bayerle of Cumberland won the girls bike, and Braiden Cook of Barronett won the boys bike. Isabella Neitzel, Charlotte Odden, Jayme Bayerle, Lucas Ames, Archer Schultz and Tyten LaRue won the large baskets. The members of the civic club appreciate everyone that helped with the party, the volunteers who helped with activities and games, those who donated cakes and other items, and those who helped with the food. Gratitude goes out to Beth Ranallo of Barronett Bar and Grill for holding special raffles to benefit the Barronett Civic Club children’s fund, and Bank of the West for donating the bikes. The Barronett Dragons 4-H Club represented Barron County at the Talent Explosion, held on Saturaday, March 24, at River Falls. There were performers from six other counties. The Barronett Dragons were awarded one of the
top two awards of excellence for their play “Bring on the Clowns.” They also won the award for best makeup. Yea Dragons! We’ll probably be seeing some of those names up in lights in a few years. Now I have to brag about one of my granddaughters just a little bit. Sanara Marsh, Jerry’s oldest daughter, has received word that she has been accepted into Hobart and William Smith College in Finger Lakes, N.Y. She has also been awarded a huge academic four-year scholarship. She has already been accepted by Penn State, and is waiting for word from a college in Boston to which she also applied. She hasn’t quite decided which college she will attend, but after looking up Hobart and William Smith College on the Internet, I’m campaigning for that one. Anyway, as you can probably tell, I’m about bursting with pride. Sherrill Erickson asked me to remind everyone that the Timberland-Barronett Area First Responders are in need of new members. The volunteer group provides emergency medical care to sick and injured persons until the arrival of an ambulance, and serves the towns of Roosevelt, Maple Plain and Lakeland. Candidates who do not have current state licensure of at least EMT-basic, or current state certification as a Medical First Responder must be willing to complete the Medical First Responder course that is offered through WITC. If you, or someone you know, are interested in becoming a first responder, please contact Sherrill and she will give you the numbers to call for further information. Pat Olson, Lynn Thon and I went to Monroe on Sunday to visit with our aunt, Helen, who is currently in the hospital with some heart problems. We were very happy to see how well she looked when we got there. Aunt Helen just celebrated her 92nd birthday a couple of months ago, so we were pretty worried about her health. Let me tell you, that woman is feisty. She was sitting up in a chair, her color is good, and she enjoyed talking with all — probably about a dozen — guests who came in to visit with her. She is anxiously awaiting word from the doctor that she can go back to her apartment, which will, hopefully, be very soon. It’s certainly nice to see her being her independent, or as some would say, stubborn self. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. We hope to see you at Barronett Lutheran on Thursday and Friday evening and Sunday morning. Have a very happy Easter. See you later.

ing up his yard this past week. Dave was home and working to finish the patio. Last weekend, Tammy Moe had a birthday dinner for her son, Turner, and Rance Brown. Attending were Turner’s grandparents, Tatjana Moe, Turner’s sister, and his brother, Tammy, Jim and Dave. Has anyone seen a bear yet? I hear they’re out and hungry. Vicki Trott, Peggy Vesta, Robyn Melton and Teresa Guardner, got together Wednesday through Monday in Branson, Mo., enjoying lots of visiting and sightseeing. This is the second year they’ve done this. Great for all. Saturday, Jerry and Gretchen Best went to the Bone Lake church for Gretchen’s mom’s 90th birthday party. Gretchen says there were 150-plus people coming to enjoy the day. Gretchen’s sister-in-law, Sandy Stege, who lives in the Twin Cities, bought all the food and the ladies aid women made the food up for the day. Understand they had a great time. Talking with Kris Fjelstad of the Fjelstad Palace, we find Thursday Marvin and Gladys Knoop, Gary and Sue Peterson and Elmer Talbert visiting Bob and Kris. Friday, Bob visited Marv and Gladys Knoop and Mark. Also Elmer and Pam Pomykala visited Bob and Kris. Friday, Kris visited Gary and Sue Peterson. Cherie Dorweiler visited Bob and Kris on Friday. Bob and Kris raked all their pinecones and needles up and hauled them away on Saturday and Sunday. I see I have little leaves on my weeping willow trees, the apple trees have little white buds, and the maples also are starting with leaves. I just hope they all don’t freeze off. Talking with my favorite sister, Marie Quam, she tells us her honey, Warren, left Friday to go to Amherst to Tim and Sue Pederson’s. We certainly have had lots of wind this past week. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

The Methodist church here in Shell Lake put on an inspiring cantata. Full Gospel is giving their play again last week and this weekend. Try to see it as it is very well done. The Country Music Awards were given Sunday night with music if you love country music. Monday, April 2 the basketball games finished up on TV. April 3 was voting in Wisconsin. We have a few birthdays to observe. Sue Weathers turned a new leaf last Monday, and Edna Johnson, one of our tenants here at Glenview, had a birthday April 1. Happy birthday to you both. Happy birthday to Bernadette Friedell who observed her special day on Sunday evening at her home. Celebrating with her was daughter Robin and son-in-law Mike from Trego, friend Char Young, Jean Hanson, Donna Ness and Arlys Santiago. She had three birthday cakes, two from her daughter and Donna Ness brought one. I would say you had a good day. The McConkies from Glenview attended the play at the Spooner school last Monday.

Sarona by Marian Furchtenicht
April arrived with a nice day. Our primary elections were held Tuesday. Income taxes are due this month and also due are some April showers. The last week of March ended with a bit cooler temps, had to fire up the wood furnace. It’s panfish time. With the ice going out of the bigger lakes much ahead of norml, I’ve been seeing boats going by to Bear Lake. Wayne Schlapper, Stevens Point, motorcycled up Sunday and visited his mom. While here, he tilled her garden. Mavis reports her apricot trees are loaded with white blossoms. Son Roger came and took my lawn mower up to the farm shop and has it ready for me for what’s to come. The way the grass is growing it won’t be long. Willie Lombard got back from a couple-weeks trip to Alaska visiting his siblings, brother Ted, sisters Fran and Doreen and their families. Brother Andy from Colorado flew up also so they had a good time together. Dort Lombard, Spooner Nursing Home, went along with her daughter, Linda, and Bill Hines, Superior, to Durand on Sunday to the birthday celebration of her sister, Ann (Roeser) Rohlik, who turned 104. The party was held at the nursing home in Durand where she resides. Others attending were Sue Miller, Menomonie; Vicki and Art Lyons, and Willie and Vicki Lombard. Reports are she’s really alert, looked at pictures and visited. They had a special cake for a very special gal and special prayers go out for her for continued good health. Gene and Carlotta Romsos took in the finals of the end-ofthe-season curling club in Rice Lake, taking place Wednesday through Friday night. There was a dance and banquet at Turtle Back on Saturday night with couples’ finals ending Sunday afternoon. Elaine Krugar, one of our snowbirds, is flying home Tuesday from Fort Meyers, Fla., where she’s been since January, with her sister, Lois. Elaine lives in an apartment in Spooner. Barb Anderson was going to pick her up at the airport. Marlene Hansen reports daughter Krista and son Jaydon went back to Minot, N.D., to her home in early March after being here with her since Thanksgiving. Her husband, Karl Okonek, gets home Wednesday after a four-month duty tour in Guam. Renee Zimmerman and her cousin, Michelle Magnus, got home Wednesday after vacationing in Cancun, Mexico, for a week, staying at the Barceló Resort. Report a good time. Gloria and Anton Frey, her sister, Joann Paulson, and brother Bill Foltz, their kids and grands got together Saturday night, helping their mom and grandma, Dorothy Foltz, celebrate her 99th birthday, taking supper and special cake, held at the convalescent home in Rice Lake where she resides. Elaine Ryan played on the Klopp’s pool team on Saturday when Taste Budz hosted a women’s pool tournament with eight or more teams attending. Klopp’s took first place. Sandi Vogt reports spring is definitely a time of renewal – renewal of fishing licenses, burning permits and funds for tax coffers. Docks and boats are being put in on the lake and nice to see the loons are back. Several Big Ripley folks joined the trap club’s poker run benefit on Sunday and rode their four-wheelers to the local pubs to get their stamps. The weather was on the cool side, but dry and snow-free made for fun riding. There were lots of four-wheelers out, including many neighbors that I saw. Lots going on this Holy Week for churches and family. Easter get-togethers and Easter break for the students. Dave and Kelly Stoner stopped by and visited at Anton and Gloria Frey’s. Elfreda West’s granddaughter Gina Notterman’s children, Levi and baby Chase, visited her when she was up from the Twin Cities, spending the weekend at her folks, Debbie and Mark West’s. Saturday, Elfreda West went along with daughter Ellen Wagoner to Spooner to watch her great-granddaughters Madison, Kennedy and Riley skate. They are the children of Dorien and Ike Glaze. Report it was really nice. A good turnout from Sarona UMC at the Easter cantata service on Sunday at the UMC in Shell Lake. It was excellent. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery to Dorothy Esser who was in the Spooner hospital with pneumonia and to Charlotte Ross who is having cataract surgery and also to Ken Rieter who is scheduled for a knee replacement this week. Friday evening, I enjoyed supper at daughter Mary and John Marschall’s. Sara and Kyle came up and Brady and Ashley and Brian and friend Jade were there. Mary prepared a great meal. Brett Holman and grandson Casey Furchtenicht visited me one evening, bringing me monster cookie dough. Casey and I always make just chocolate chip so Brett wanted me to try the kind he and his grandma make. There was a little left by the time they got it here. It was so thoughtful of them and really good. Happy birthday this week to Matt Kubista, Stephanie Hemshrot, and also Dorothy Synder in Sheboygan, April 5; Russ Furchtenicht, Andrew Baker, Stacey Berecker, April 6; Kierra Harrington, Rocky and Corey Furchtenicht, Joyce Soholt, Elvina Lalan, Mary Lee Tautges, and Shania Pokorny on April 7; Danielle Ryan and Richard Scheffel, April 8; Ronnie Christianson, Luke Anderson, Henry Ness, Roger Lancette, Margie Waggoner, Trudy Meister and Henry Baker, April 9; Logan Gohde, Brent Gramberg, Duane Halverson, and former Sarona Methodist Pastor Chuck Wendt on April 10; Bob Dahle, Danielle Benjamin, Shannon Kline and Bill Krause, April 11. Have a fun day! Happy anniversary wishes to Kevin and Laurie Smith and Andy and Elizabeth Meyers on April 6; Dean and Kim Schlapper down in Texas on April 7; Tom and Gloria Elliott, their 40th; and Jim and Yvonne Mogensen on April 8. Seen on a senior’s car window sticker: I’m speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I’m going! A blessed Easter wishes from Sarona folks.

onstantine the Great is credited with being the originator of the Easter Parade. It began on the first Easter Sunday following his conversion. On that day, he ordered the members of his court to wear their finest garments to honor and celebrate the resurrection of Christ. What will we wear for our Easter garments this year? New clothes covering an old nature? Costly garments hiding a deceitful heart? Changing our apparel will not change our attitudes or our actions. When we walk with the Lord, he will make all things new from the inside out. He is able to change our old nature into one of his making, a deceitful heart into one devoted to loving him and our stale thoughts into fresh new insights into the way he wants us to live. When we turn our lives over to the Lord, we will not need to worry about what we wear or where we walk in a parade. We will be covered with his grace, demonstrate his goodness and reflect his greatness wherever we are. Visit us at: TheSower.com.

Mr. Parker noted the sewer utility has experienced three sewage backups in the last few months.
