Industrial Development Agency formed
by Jessica Beecroft Register staff writer SPOONER – The Spooner City Council met Monday, Oct. 1, where they decided to go ahead with the formation of an Industrial Development Agency. After the Washburn County Board of Supervisors voted against the formation of a city/county auditorium board on Tuesday, Sept. 18, the Spooner City Council found another route to pursue saving the Northwest Sports Complex. According to council member Daryl Gabriel, the formation of the board has been in the works for about a month. Jeff Kohler, city attor-
ney, said the municipality has the authority to do industrial developments. According to Kohler, the board will have many of the same powers the city/county auditorium board would have had. The Industrial Development Agency has been developed to acquire funds as a nonprofit organization in a perhaps final attempt to acquire the Northwest Sports Complex. The goal of the agency will be to address the problem with the complex, but also to be a vehicle, if needed, to acquire funds for public financing without going into a tax levy or revenue bonding. The board will have the power to apply for grant funds. At their Sept. 4 meeting, city council mem-

Whitetails Unlimited hosts annual banquet in Shell Lake
There was another large turnout at the Whitetails Unlimited banquet at the Shell Lake Arts Center in Shell Lake on Thursday, Oct. 4.
This female yellow Lab puppy was a crowd favorite during the 22nd-annual Northwest Wisconsin Whitetails Unlimited Chapter membership banquet in Shell Lake on Thursday, Oct. 4. Dozens of guns were up for raffle along with a silent auction, door prizes and a dinner.
Among some of the items auctioned off at the Whitetails Unlimited banquet was this Matthews bow, valued at nearly $800. The buyer paid a lot less than the valued price. One of several unique items auctioned off during the Whitetails Unlimited banquet included this shed antler, which was signed by outdoor personalities Mark and Terry Drury, who produce popular hunting videos and TV shows. The antler fetched nearly $250, and was part of a fundraiser for the Catch-a-Dream Foundation, which provides once-in-a-lifetime hunting or fishing opportunities for sick children 18 or younger. The Drury brothers partnered with Whitetails Unlimited and have donated up to 350 shed antlers to various WU banquets. – Photos by Marty Seeger
Several prints by noted wildlife artists were auctioned off during the Whitetails Unlimited banquet.

“I
t’s all about you.” That might be a good slogan to use for promoting National Newspaper Week (Oct. 7-13). Our job here at the Register - like most smaller newspapers - is to hold up the proverbial mirror and hope our pages reflect our readers and the communities we cover with dignity and accuracy ... maybe a little fun, too. The Register is produced each week by a handful of dedicated reporters, photographers and others to supply information that likely matters to you, from the over-the-back-fence community chatter to the bios of local candidates running for office. Who made the honor roll this semester? Who won Monday’s game? And who was in that crash you drove by last Thursday? - it all adds up to information our readers want and have come to expect. A large part of our job is being places
It’s not about us - it’s about you
most people can’t be or can’t find time to be. The board meetings at city hall, the school and county government center. And, at times, reminding local officials that one lonely reporter represents a readership of thousands of taxpayers and citizens. And while the Internet has definitely had an impact on the overall health of larger newspapers, smaller newspapers may be less affected, utilizing the new technology to offer breaking news and as an opportunity to provide more photos and content - an opportunity, of sorts, to improve. The Register, established in 1885, has proud history in the realm of smalltown journalism and has been under the ownership of the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association since 2004. The co-op also publishes the InterCounty Leader and the Advertisers. Conveniently, National Newspaper Week falls within October, which is Na-

Labor force numbers impact unemployment rate
More in labor force in July than August more in August than a year ago
by Sherill Summer Special to the Register WASHBURN COUNTY – The employment numbers are out for August. Washburn County’s unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent in July to 7.8 percent in August. But the lower rate did not reflect more employed residents, but instead a lower labor force. At the end of August there were 7,996 in Washburn’s labor force with 7,371 employed residents and 625 looking for work. The unemployment rate was 7.8
percent. That’s down from 8,133 in the labor force in July when 7,478 residents were working and 655 were unemployed. The unemployment rate was 8.1 percent. A year ago in August 2011, there were 7,827 in the labor force. Of that total, 7,189 residents were employed and 638 were looking for work. The unemployment rate was 8.2 percent. The Wisconsin unemployment rate jumped from 7.3 percent in July to 7.5 percent in August according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The state lost 11,518 jobs in the process according to preliminary statistics. Minnesota has enjoyed lower unemployment rates as of late, but the rate ticked upward in that state too, from 5.8 percent in July to 5.9 percent in August. The state lost 6,038 jobs according to preliminary statistics.
Police chief gives his final police report
Retirement party Oct. 26
by Jessica Beecroft Register staff reporter SHELL LAKE - Mayor Sally Peterson announced at the Shell Lake City Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 8, that police Chief Clint Stariha’s retirement party will be Friday, Oct. 26, from 1-4 p.m. The public is welcome to attend this open house in honor of the Shell Lake police chief who has served the city for the last 36 years. Stariha gave his final monthly report at the meeting. Police activity in September included 22 complaints, eight county as-
sists, three motorist assists, one accident, two arrests, four dog complaints, one dog to the pound, one funeral escort, two thefts, one break and entry, three welfare checks, two vehicle lockouts, two domestics, two fire alarms, one fight, one gas drive-off, one dog bite, one retail theft, 24 verbal warnings and 12 citations issued. The Shell Lake Police Department issued the following tickets: four speeding, two illegal passing of a school bus, two OWIs, two juveniles with tobacco and two underage drinking. The department had officers practicing their shooting in Minong on Wednesday, Sept. 12. And, according to Stariha, the homecoming events went very well.

bers approved the formation of a city/county auditorium board that would have been responsible for trying to finance the purchase of the Northwest Sports Complex and hiring a management team until a buyer was found. 2013 Budget According to Mayor Gary Cuskey, the city of Spooner is in a very good financial condition due to the council. Committee members Bill Moen and Debbie Koehn have worked very hard on the budget this year, and they are satisfied with the final budget. The total levy allowed by the state this year went from $1,134,827 to $1,205,190. That brings the levy from a total of $8.85/$1,000 value in 2012 to
$9.35/$1,000 in 2013. The increase of 6.7 percent equals approximately $60/year for a $100,000 home in the city of Spooner. Mayor’s report Cuskey encouraged the community to get out and take part of the upcoming Jack O’ Lantern festival which will include a Zombie Run this year. The event will be on Saturday, Oct. 13. The council voted to grant the street closings for the event after getting input from the community. The only concern addressed was the consumption of alcohol at the event, and it was agreed that the consumption will be allowed only inside a main beverage serving tent. Other activities include an antique appraisal at the library, a bak-
tional Co-op Month - with this year being the International Year of the Cooperative. It offers us a chance to focus the news on ourselves for one brief, shining, moment, and remind our readers that cooperative principals go handin-hand with responsible journalism. As Bill Oemiche of the Cooperative Network points out, there are seven principles that guide cooperative businesses - most applying to the daily operations and governance practices. But the seventh principal, conern for Community - “reaches outside ...” We’d like to think we care about the communities we cover to the point of helping them succeed while still being loyal to journalistic standards, which in the final analysis, helps everyone. But enough about us. National Newspaper Week is really about those whose lives make up the pages - and Web pages - of our product. That would be you. - Gary King, editor
Sen. Jauch receives Outstanding Legislator Award

MADISON — State Sen. Robert Jauch, D-Poplar, was honored recently by the Wisconsin Counties Association with a WCA Outstanding Legislator Award for his work on behalf of county government during the 2011-2012 legislative session. He was recognized with the award for several reasons, including trying to eliminate the lapse requirement for county land conservation staffing grants. In addition, Jauch was instrumental in requesting funding for county child support agencies, as well as for the Western and Northern Income Maintenance Consortia. “Sen. Jauch has been a longtime advocate and supporter of county issues, and this legislative session was no different,” said WCA Executive Director Mark D. O’Connell. “We appreciate his dedication to partnering with counties. In light of the fiscal challenges facing Wisconsin,
along with the ongoing demand for services at the local level, we realize this is not always the easiest thing to accomplish. We are proud to once again present him with this award.” The WCA Outstanding Legislator Award is handed out biennially to a choice group of legislators who have represented county interests in both the Legislature and in their districts. These legislators have demonstrated leadership for counties on key issues and legislation, such as pothole liability and human services issues. Other winners this year included Sen. Glenn Grothman, Rep. Andre Jacque and Rep. John Nygren. WCA represents the interests of county government both on the state and federal levels and is located in Madison.

property. The SPD has had issues with students bringing their hunting rifles to the school when they drive their vehicles and park in the parking lot. The Department of Justice is making changes on the requirements for recruits to law enforcement. One of the changes noted is the fact that there will be a physical fitness and wellness program requirement. “I think it’s really a good idea for officers to get to the finish line at the end if you’re going to stay with this job for 20 or 30 years,” Andrea said. “It’s demanding and stressful. I’m glad they’re implementing some of the changes.”
Porta-potty ablaze According to Spooner Police Chief Robert Andrea the department responded to approximately 1,100 contacts in September. A portable toilet was set on fire at the Spooner Middle School. The vandals were juvenile and confessed to the crime already. Despite several other calls and concerns, the department seems to continue to have a problem with vandalism at the Spooner Middle School. High school students are reminded to not bring their firearms onto school

Obama’s failed policies
President Obama’s policies regarding the economy have clearly failed and have resulted in misery for millions of Americans. He and former President Clinton want us to believe that the situation in 2008 was so bad that no one could have brought about a solid recovery in four years. The fact is, Obama and those in his administration believed that a strong recovery was possible. Obama stated in 2009 that if his $830 billion stimulus was passed, the unemployment rate would stay below 8 percent. It was passed and the unemployment rate soon shot up to over 10 percent and has been over 8 percent for the past 43 months. Joe Biden stated three years ago that the stimulus was working beyond his “wildest dreams” and that America would enjoy a summer of recovery in 2010. The Census Bureau reports that there are now 7 million fewer full-time employees than in 2007. According to Congress’ Joint Economic Committee, of the last 10 recessions, the Obama recovery is by far the weakest in terms of the growth of gross domestic product, personal incomes and jobs. Ronald Reagan inherited a recession in many respects worse than the one Obama inherited. Back in 1980 inflation was 14 percent, the home mortgage rate near 20 percent, unemployment near 10 percent, and the stock market had been flat for 12 years. Reagan used tax cuts, spending restraint, deregulation of business, and stopped the
printing of money to bring about a robust recovery within a couple of years. Three years after the end of the 1981 recession the GDP had risen by 18.5 percent. With Obama’s policies, the exact opposite of Reagan’s, three years after the end of the 2008 recession (March 2009) the GDP had risen only 6.7 percent. The average threeyear increase in GDP after the end of the last 10 recessions is 15.2 percent, more than double the Obama recovery. The Obama plan for the next four years is to ask for more stimulus and to tax the wealthy employers and job creators to pay for it. This plan continues policies that have failed and have made recovery so difficult. Under these policies the Congressional Budget Office is predicting a recession in 2013. Obviously, the contention by the administration that no one could have turned the economy around is just an excuse that allows them the chance to escape blame for their failed policies. In February 2011, Obama announced the formation of his jobs council with great fanfare to show his great concern for creating more jobs. It is interesting to note that with the number of jobs still in the dumps that the president hasn’t called the jobs council to meet for over six months. Does Obama really care about this issue?
Forty-nine members of the Wisconsin Legislature, overwhelmingly Republicans, are members of the secretive American Legislative Exchange Commission. Seventy-fifth Assembly Rep. Roger Rivard is a member of ALEC. Bill Moyers on PBS described ALEC as an organization that brings state legislators and business/corporate leaders together to craft model bills that can be taken back to the legislators states to be introduced for adoption. Every year, more than 800 bills are generated and more than 200 get adopted by various states. Many states bills contain the exact language as the
model. Legislators and corporate leaders/lobbyists vote on the acceptance of these bills with each having equal votes. At least 32 bills or budget items introduced in the Wisconsin 2011-2012 legislative cycle contain ALEC language. Rivard sits on one of the eight ALEC bill-writing committees. ALEC meetings are held at posh out-ofstate hotels and resorts, and while some legislators may cover their own costs, many receive scholarships to cover fees, travel and lodging expenses. There are also entertainment perks such as fine dining, free tickets to baseball games and trips to the shooting range. ALEC has experienced some major criticism for its creation of the stand your ground and voter photo ID laws. More than 40 corporations dropped their membership and sponsorship of ALEC. An Isthmus/The Daily Page article suggests that many Wisconsin state legislators are deleting e-mails concerning their involvement with ALEC, using a loophole that exempts the Legislature from records retention rules that apply to other state and local officials.

A few years ago, our nation was outraged by the Nixon cover-up and rightly so. Now we have another one, and this one is worse because four men died. They asked for more security, but the administration refused, and so they were murdered. The powers said it wasn’t our fault, some stupid video caused it. The problem with that is the truth will always come out. When Obama first ran for office he promised he would reduce the unemployment rate and cut our deficit. Our unemployment rate is now 8.1 officially and probably at 20 percent unofficially. Our deficit is more than $16 trillion. China owns us and nobody seems to care. Where is the outrage?
A while ago, I was chairman of the Washburn County Republican Party, and I had the privilege of fielding the first black candidate in the state. It probably didn’t hurt that I had gone to school with him or that my mother taught his children. He didn’t win that race, but he came in third among six candidates. Not too bad for those years. Vernon did not have the life or advantages that Obama has had, but he had something else, and that something was trust. I could trust him. I don’t trust Obama. I just don’t.
The Senate debate between Tammy Baldwin and Tommy Thompson presented Wisconsin with a clear contrast and a clear choice. Thompson represents the politics of the past and offered voters the same old angry name-calling and finger-pointing that has come to define Washington. Baldwin represents the future and spoke to Wisconsin voters about her commitment to fighting for us and moving Wisconsin forward. Voters might ask themselves two questions: Which candidate will listen to me? And who will stand up for the middle class? The answer to both those questions was clearly Baldwin, not Thompson. Baldwin is running to be a voice for the people who are working hard, playing by the rules and trying to get ahead — not another voice for the powerful. Baldwin believes that if we’re going to prosper, everyone has to have a fair shot — and everyone has to do his or her fair share. Baldwin has a strong record of fighting for Wisconsin middle-class families and small businesses, and she isn’t afraid to take on the big-moneyed special interests that have too much power and influence in Washington. Thompson has cashed in on his Wash-
ington connections with Washington special-interests groups, and he will continue working for them, not Wisconsin. He will repeal Wall Street reform and let big banks write their own rules. He will repeal health-care reform, let big insurance companies deny children with pre-existing conditions health-care coverage and allow them to charge women 50 percent more for health care. He will continue to reward corporations that outsource our jobs to other countries with tax breaks. Baldwin has taken the lead on the Buffett Rule to make sure millionaires pay their fair share and pay at the least the same tax rate as a middle-class family. Baldwin has fought to pass student loan reform and make higher education more affordable. Thompson supports slashing investments in education and increasing the cost of going to college. Baldwin worked across party lines to take on China’s cheating; she has opposed unfair trade deals that have shipped jobs overseas; and she will put an end to tax breaks for corporations that outsource Wisconsin jobs to other countries.
I received a letter in the mail saying how great Obama is. No signature on the letter. The letter forgot to mention that Obama supports giving amnesty to all these illegals who have never paid taxes and take whatever they can get, and Americans who work all their lives and pay taxes have to pay for all this. Maybe if these illegals worked as hard at improving their own country as they do at sneaking into America, they could have a good life in their own country. But then since 70 percent of the illegals are Mexican, Obama would have to find another way to get the Spanish vote. Too bad Obama is more concerned about his votes than protecting American taxpayers. A young Minnesota student was run down and killed by an illegal driving without a valid driver’s license. This is what Obama is pushing on Americans. The immigrants who came here legally through
Ellis Island and worked hard and paid taxes and became citizens legally belong here. Not Obama’s backdoor illegals. When Obama wanted to get the gay vote, he said he believed in gay marriage, but yet he did not stick up for the right of Chick-fil-A’s CEO to state his personal opinion that he believes in traditional marriage between a man and a woman. It was the CEO’s right to say he believes in traditional marriage. That is the only kind of marriage that I believe in. Marriage is a man and a woman. Obama also said he believes in abortion. Life begins at conception. Abortion is murder. There are lots of couples that can’t have kids and would love to have a baby. There is no reason for abortion. Obama also used the killing of Osama bin Laden for his political gain. The Navy Seals are the ones who risked their lives to
get bin Laden, not Obama and Biden. Obama is nothing but empty promises. How many more times is Obama going to bypass Congress and do whatever he wants to do? How many more of our taxpayer dollars are going to go to take care of illegals who do not pay taxes and just take from hardworking Americans? We need someone who will stop all the illegal immigration. That is not Obama. Think long and hard before you vote for Obama and his backdoor illegals. I am not willing to vote for Obama’s radical views.
BURNETT COUNTY — Two wildfires, including one that destroyed a car, serve as a reminder as to how dry conditions are in light of the lack of rain. “This was the driest September on record at the Grantsburg Ranger Station since 1952,” said Jay Riewestahl, DNR ranger. “People are out working, hunting, recreating and cutting firewood, and they need to know to use caution when it comes to causing a wildfire.” The DNR and local firefighters responded to a fire that started when local cabin-owners parked in a grassy area in the Town of Sterling. The muffler was hot enough to ignite the grass, the fire consuming the vehicle. As the DNR firefighters were heading back to their station in Grantsburg, they were called to a second fire in the Town of Wood River. A hunter had rebuilt a deer stand and burned the old boards out in the woods. Despite the fact a fire ring was used, the fire burrowed under the ground and surfaced, consuming about
one acre. Riewestahl said there is no soil moisture, and actually no morning dew the past few days. He said even if the area gets rain, it would only help the dryness situation for a day or two. — from the InterCounty Leader ••• DANBURY — It was a hot day in July 2001 when Sander Staples and his young daughter, Michelle, went for a swim in the St. Croix River behind their home. After an hour of swimming, they dried off and went inside to eat supper. Later, while taking a shower, Sander noticed his wedding ring was not on his finger. He went back to the river to look for the ring, searching the banks and rocks. As time passed, he gave up the thought of ever finding the ring again. Fast forward to Sept. 23 of this year. Sander’s wife, Rita Joy, was cutting underbrush along the river’s edge when she saw pretty clamshells scattered under the river’s shelf edge. She picked up about
eight shells, ones that raccoons had apparently dined on, and kept them to make shell jewelry. She came across a tightly packed, partially opened clamshell, and while she was washing it out she noticed a shiny object. After cleaning all the dirt from inside the shell, she discovered the object was her husband’s long-lost wedding ring. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• HERTEL — Dixie Andrea, 70, shot a 120-pound bear near Hertel on Saturday, Sept. 22. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• RICE LAKE — Marshfield Clinic recently received a $1 million grant that will help physicians connect through videoconferencing with some of the most critically injured and acutely ill patients at rural Wisconsin hospitals.

They came in as kittens, and oh how they’ve grown, But waiting so long, makes them feel so alone. Phyllis is busy, she talks quite a bit, Attention she wants, when she gets it she quits. Sydney’s more quiet, seems always content, For being a kitten, some think that’s different. Both are unique in their own special way, Their wish is that you’d come adopt them today. Cats for adoption: 8-month-old female black/white shorthair; 1-year-old neutered orange shorthair tiger; 6-month-old male brown/black medium-hair tabby; two 3-month-old medium-hair gray kittens; 3-month-old male orange shorthair tabby; 11-week-old male shorthair black/brown tiger; 6-month-old black male medium-hair; 5-1/2month-old female black/brown medium-hair tabby; three 8-week-old torties; two 3-month-old shorthair tigers; 2-year-old shorthair male tiger and two 3-1/2month-old female black/white kittens.

A
tination. Good thing this technology wasn’t available the time I borrowed my niece’s shoes without asking first. While attending a family gathering at my parents, everyone placed their shoes by the front door. I needed to run home real quick, so I slipped my feet into the first pair of flip-flops I saw. When my niece, Emily, went to leave, she couldn’t find her flip-flops and blamed one of my nephews for hiding them. I was the cause of the argument that ensued. Have you ever left the house in a hurry, only to realize you have on two different shoes? Several years ago, a friend was sharing her story. In the last-minute dash to get to church on time, she looked down at her feet as she was pulling out of the driveway only to notice she had on one black shoe and one blue shoe. She stopped the vehicle and asked her son, Jason, to run into the house and grab a shoe. He asked if she wanted the blue or the black. She said it didn’t matter, thinking she had the mate to one or the other on. As they arrived at church, she realized that Jason had grabbed a blue shoe, but the height of the heel didn’t match the height of the heel to the shoe she was wearing. Her dilemma now was, should she wear both blue shoes and walk with a limp or wear one black and one blue shoe and hope no one noticed. So if you are one that would like to continue wearing sandals until the snow gets too deep, or if you are one that has already surrendered and are wearing closed-toed shoes or perhaps boots, just remember, it may be best to at least wear a matching pair. And, if you are going to use someone else’s shoes, it’s best to ask first.

Are there rules about footwear?
s the crisp morning air ushers in a new day of blue skies, colored leaves gently falling to the ground and nice afternoon temperatures, it is sometimes difficult to decide, “Should I wear shoes or open-toed footwear today?” Are there any rules about when it is not appropriate to have your naked toes showing? Advice at one time was, “Don’t wear white after Labor Day.” Does that still apply? Last spring when the temperatures were really nice in March, I found myself wearing sandals. I felt as if I was breaking a rule. Then April came and it was cooler, so back to the shoes and socks I went. Fall had officially begun when I commented to a couple of different women about the fact that they were still wearing sandals. One was actually walking into her business in bare feet. Replies were, “It hasn’t snowed yet!” They are real diehards when it comes to digging out the socks and shoes. They hold out until the cold bitter end before surrendering to heavy footwear. Have you heard about the newer technology shoes that are available? For those that still wear dress shoes to work, there are now Day2Night shoes that have convertible heels. Just pop off one size heel and replace it with the size you would prefer from a selection in the case of five different heights. As the commercial says, “Now you can change your heels, not your shoes.” Perhaps you have heard about the No-PlaceLike-Home GPS shoes that were inspired by “The Wizard of Oz.” By clicking your heels together, these shoes will lead you to your des-

Celebrate fall Shell Lake style
Oktoberfest to be celebrated on Saturday evening

They love to share that fun and hope to keep the polka tradition alive for all generations to enjoy. Along with dancing the night away, participants will even have the opportunity to possibly walk away with one of the many raffle prizes to be given out.

Wearing the competitive genes
ompetitiveness runs in our family. I remember when I was a young girl, when my grandparents used to live next door to us, my little sister and I would visit them often to watch movies or play games. Card games were usually the games of choice, games like golf, kings in the corner, crazy eights or Skip-Bo. My grandma, being the meek and sly one, would quietly play the entire game until the last minute when she would pull some crazy stunt and win. My grandpa would sometimes stand up, throw down his cards and claim, “I am never playing games with you again Bonny! You always win!” My grandmother, of course, would smile and gently laugh and we would move onto other things like snacks or baking. But I swear I always caught her winking at us ever so slightly. This competitive gene from my grandpa was passed down to my mother, who most definitely passed it down to her children. It gets dangerous in our house sometimes when we have family game nights. Just a few weeks ago, we played the game Pit. It’s one of those shouting and moving really fast games, and if you’ve ever played it, you’d know exactly what I’m talking about. Needless to say, by the end of the game I had thrown my cards at three different people. One person threatened to leave the game and began walking upstairs. Personal jabs and comments were made and blood was almost drawn. I won’t even tell you what happens when we play spoons or Dutch Blitz. It’s not pretty when I lose. I’ll be the first to admit, I can be a sore loser, but I’m slowly getting better at it. One time in high school, when I was the setter for the Webster
Tigers volleyball team, I kicked one of my teammates because she messed up. It’s not as bad as it sounds though. Coach was trying to yell at me but couldn’t help but laugh as we huddled up for a time-out. My boyfriend’s family likes to play games, too, but they are too nice to each other. They never raise their voices and they practically let each other win. Luckily, my boyfriend is on the more competitive side as well, so I have someone to relate with. When I first started dating him, and I played games with his family, I was a nice, quiet girl who played card games politely. Now, two years later, I show almost no mercy. Michael’s brother once told him, “If you get married and have kids, I’ll make sure to tell my kids to just let yours win at everything.” It is now an ongoing joke about how competitive we are together as a couple. But my sisters are the ones who egg me on the most. The women in this family are known to be spastic at times. In fact, my nickname on my volleyball team in high school was Spaz. During our last family gathering, my dad and my brother-in-law came up with the Spaz-O-Meter and when we fight or egg each other on during a game or dinner, the meter, which is really just my dad’s arm, wavers back and forth and goes off the charts into the dangerous red zone. Yes, we are known to be a loud, boisterous, opinionated, competitive family who egg each other on and try to get a rise out of each other, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. But, above all, we give and show love outwardly, exuberantly and abundantly to each other, and those are times when I’m glad I have a big, loud, crazy family.

These beliefs affect our lives through the choices we make and eventually affect the quality of our lives individually and collectively.” This session will examine some misconceptions about economics often held by Americans and offer alternatives using fundamental economic principles.

Americans making fewer visits to doctor
by Shamane Mills Wisconsin Public Radio
NATIONWIDE - Americans are going to the doctor less often than they were 10 years ago. A census report says lack of insurance may be one reason why. And according to one Wisconsin health co-op, even those with insurance have not increased their trips to the doctor. Those who've waited in a doctor's office may find it hard to believe but patients are seeing doctors less often. The Alliance is a Madison-based, not-for-profit health co-op. It includes 180 employers in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. Mark Xistris is vice president of provider relations, "Our data has been relatively flat at roughly two encounters with the medical system per year, for the last six years." That's visits to the ER, doctor's office and urgent care. Nationally, medical visits for working age adults was higher, 3.9. Part of the reason is methodology. The census data
included the uninsured and those on Medicaid. Both groups generally have more health problems. Xistris says another reason for the difference in doctor visits are things like company wellness programs, "We help them with strategies to help their employee to improve their overall health status so they don't need to go to the doctor’s office as often.” But fewer doctor’s visits don't mean lower cost. Health care spending has been going up, even if patients are seeing the doctor less often, "I think there is a relationship at some level but while the visits may be going down the intensity of the interaction is going up; means the doctor is billing for more complicated issues." The census data suggests medical usage is linked to income. Nearly 40 percent of poor people did not visit a doctor in 2010. Only 19 percent of those with higher incomes did not see a doctor.
DNR confirms wolf hunt dog delay
by Chuck Quirmbach Wisconsin Public Radio
STATEWIDE - The DNR is telling wolf hunters that dogs cannot be used in the upcoming wolf hunt until at least Dec. 20. Wisconsin's first modern-era wolf hunt is scheduled to begin Oct. 15. Under state law, dogs were banned from the hunt until after the gun deer season ends in late November, but a Madison judge has also ordered an injunction against using dogs until at least Dec. 20 when there's another court hearing on a lawsuit brought by Humane Societies.
Attorney Carl Sinderbrand represents the groups that sued to restrict the use of dogs. Sinderbrand says it's good the DNR is spreading the word of the delay to wolf hunters, "The first month of using dogs won't happen." But Sinderbrand says his clients are still looking for the judge to address the broader issue of what kind of restrictions are needed to protect dogs, wolves and others from what Sinderbrand calls grievous harm. Also this week, a group of game hunters asked to get involved in the wolf hunt case, on the side of the DNR.

Bitter loss on a bitter cold night
by Larry Samson Register reporter SHELL LAKE — With a 34-8 loss to conference rivals the Frederic Vikings on Friday, Oct. 5, the Shell Lake football team is faced with the possibility of finishing the season without a win. The Lakers last game of the season will be Friday, Oct. 12, in a game they will play at Unity. The season has been a struggle for the team that has had as few as 17 players suited up for the game. There was a question if Shell Lake could finish the season. They will, of course, and they will do it with a sense of pride, knowing that they have, against the odds, played every game with the determination to win. Shell Lake started out the Frederic game determined to upset the 5-1 Frederic Vikings. Shell Lake scored first on a fumble when Sam Livingston recovered a Frederic fumble. Two plays later, Shell Lake was on the boards with an AJ Denotter touchdown. Livingston made the two-point conversion and it was an 8-0 game with only a minute off the clock. Frederic was too good a team to stay down and came back with a touchdown, driving 65 yards on 14 plays. Shell Lake started on the 24-yard line and drove down to the 27-yard line. They were stopped on fourth and two. Frederic fumbled the ball and Shell Lake recovered, but an incomplete pass on fourth and three turned the ball over to Frederic. Shell Lake fumbled on their 27-yard line and Frederic moved the ball downfield in three plays to take an 8-14 lead. The first half ended and it looked to be a close game. The second half was all Frederic, as they put up 18 unanswered points. For the game, Frederic had 15 first downs to Shell Lake’s 10. Shell Lake turned the ball over three times and forced four Viking turnovers. Shell Lake had a total of 190 yards, 137 rushing and 53 passing. Frederic had 333 total, 294 rushing and 39 passing.

Andrew Larson and Tanner Williams took Frederic quarterback Jaryd Braden down for a loss on this quarterback keeper.
Football fans
The Shell Lake fans lined the walkway out of the Reinhart-Moen stadium to show their appreciation to the football players and coaches for the season. While the Lakers are 0-7 for the season, they have played every game as if it were the playoffs. The fans have been with them through the good times and stand with them in the tough time. They are true Laker fans. — Photo by Larry Samson

The Wickmans are celebrating, again
hold in the heat. After their first two sons, Byron and Bradley, were born they moved. Even though their housing could be described as substandard, Stan says that it’s not the house that makes a home, it’s the people living in it. Stan dairy farmed for a while and then got a carpentry job in New Richmond. He came home weekends and occasionally on a Wednesday. June had been working at the old Shell Lake hospital as a nurse’s aide for four years before Stan took the job out of town. She worked nights while Stan was there to watch the boys, who were ages 8, 10 and 12. After he started working away, she quit her job. They sold the cows and bought sheep, which were valuable for their wool. The boys enjoyed the sheep and earned money by hiring out as shearers during high school. When Stan came back to continue the carpenter’s trade locally, along with his job running a bulldozer putting in new roads, June went back to work in 1970 at the new Shell Lake hospital. She stayed for 37 years, working eventually into the unit clerk position. Their sons all served in the military, Byron in the National Guard, and Bradley and Bruce as Marines, both serving time in Vietnam. Bradley decided he was the farmer of the bunch and took over the farm. Mom and Dad picked out 10 acres of field for their final house, which they had moved in from 14 miles away in 1969. A new road was going though where the house was located, so they bought the 32-ton, two-story house and had it moved to its present location on CTH EE. This is where June has the
We’ve had quite a change of temperature this week, haven’t we? I’m so glad I took some pictures of the beautiful maple tree in our yard last week, because after the wind on Thursday it’s almost bare. The water in the birdbath has had a thin layer of ice on top twice. It’s a heated one, so I guess it must be time to plug it in again. I’m sure we’ll get some more nice warm weather this fall. This is just a reminder to get the outdoor stuff done. I have to apologize to Mary Jane Pritz. Last week when Anitia Lehmann told me about helping DeEtte Fankhauser with her hair and dress before her wedding 50 years ago, I assumed that meant that Anitia was the maid of honor. Not so. Anitia was a very good friend, but the maid of honor title went to Mary Jane. Sorry for the mix-up, ladies. I’ll try to get it straight when I report on the party for Pat and DeEtte’s 75th anniversary. Ruth Grover mentioned last week that she had to take a trip to Eau Claire on Monday for an angiogram. Her hubby, Dick, was very happy to report that the results of that test showed that Ruth’s arteries and veins are in perfect condition. Well, anyone who knows Ruth knows that she has a wonderful heart, so it’s nice to hear that the doctors know that the stuff running to her heart is good, too. Merl and Shirley Overvig just returned home from a fun-filled vacation in Arizona. They flew into Phoenix, and spent three days hanging around the pool at Brian and Patsy Overvig’s home. They spent one day exploring Old Scottsdale, then headed to Sedona. They love the Sedona area, and spent five nights there. They spent a day in Jerome, which is an old mining/ghost town. They spent a day in the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. Shirley said that if you decide to visit that area she highly recommends a hike on the Blue Mesa Trail because the colors are fantastic. They spent a day at the meteor crater. They took a helicopter ride with Brian and Patsy. Shirley said that the pilot was an excellent tour guide, he showed them Secret Canyon, some cliff dwellings, and pointed out different rock formations and points of interest. After the helicopter ride they returned to Brian and Patsy’s house, and flew home the next day. Merl and Shirley arrived at the Minneapolis airport just an hour before Shirley’s son, Ben Lemke, flew in. Ben came home with them, and they had a wonderful time while he was visiting. The first day they just relaxed and did some gardening. On Thursday they took a trip to Duluth and did some sightseeing. On Saturday they took Ben back to the Twin Cities, decided to go to the Science Museum of Minnesota, and Shirley and Ben
checked out the weather exhibit, naturally. They both have degrees in meteorology. Oh, I almost forgot. Sport, Merl and Shirley’s dog, had a great vacation, too. He spent the time they were in Arizona with Shirley’s grandson, Drake. They picked him up on the way home from the airport on Tuesday, and Ben had the honor of riding in the back seat from River Falls to Barronett with Sport, who loves to run from side to side of the car so that he doesn’t miss anything. Yea. Sounds like a great way to travel to me. Kevin and Kate O’Neal, with the help of Kevin’s mom, Mary Jane Griffin, hosted a brunch at their cabin on Turtle Lake for relatives and friends on Sunday. There were guests from this area and all over the country who had come to attend the wedding of Jason Haugerud and Kristen Capra on Saturday. The food was wonderful, and everyone had a great time eating and visiting. It was so nice to see Al Strubb Sunday morning. He was in the area visiting with his daughter, Judy Norton, and other friends and relatives. Al is returning home to California this week. Anitia Lehmann and I spent Tuesday making 213 pieces of lefse! Tonja Metnik asked if we would make some for the fall festival at Cumberland ECU. We had 21 bags of 10 pieces, and they all sold. Made standing over a hot lefse iron all day worth it. There were lots of people buying and selling things at ECU that day. I got a really nice glider/rocker at a very reasonable price. I don’t know how many different baked items and kinds of candy were for sale. A person could have gained weight just looking at stuff. There were also lots of crafts: quilts, doormats, doilies, etc. And it was fun just chatting with everyone who came in. I think the activities department must have taken in quite a bit of money, which is great because they plan so many outings for the residents. If you missed it this year be sure to stop by and join the fun next year. Did you hear that our granddaughter, Miriah Lehmann, and her boyfriend, Beau Olson, were in a car accident this past week? I’ll tell you what; we are so lucky — and unbelievably thankful — that they weren’t badly hurt. They both have muscle aches, but no broken bones. They were driving on CTH V, right past the Wiesner Chapel, a car pulled in front of them from a crossroad, and, even though Beau stood on the brakes, there was no way to avoid the accident. Two of the passengers from the other car were taken to the hospital, and we are praying that they will be OK. Beau is still finding it hard to believe how fast it happened. One of

24 albums that meticulously chronicle their lives, before and after they married. Somehow, she was able to preserve precious pictures that date back to both of their early childhoods all the way to the present. She’s added all of their diplomas and pages of cards from her first baby shower. She’s so organized that she had an album ready to add their upcoming celebration. They have three sons, nine grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, all duly recorded in the appropriate album along with Stan’s complete family pictures and her six brothers. When asked what kept them together for 70 years, June said it was just stubbornness on both their parts. Stan said it was their ability to fight it out and then get over it. “After all,” June added, “We got married for better or for worse.” And what is the one finest trait the other one possesses? For June, it is his thoughtfulness. “He even remembered to buy me a birthday card again this year.” As for Stan, he cut to the quick, and without even thinking said, “She’s a great cook.” Blood clots in his lungs was the reason Stan decided to pack it in after working with Randy Brown for many years, again in the carpenter trade. June decided it would be a good thing to retire, too. Now it’s time to celebrate 70 years together with an open house at the Salem Lutheran Church in Shell Lake on Saturday, Oct. 13. There will be coffee and cake, but alas, no dancing. June has trouble with her knees, and Stan just doesn’t want to take the chance of any sort of injury to his 91year-old body. “We might not see our 80th anniversary, but we Newly married in 1942, this plan to continue celebrating couple, June and Stan Wickas long as we can.” man, has shared a full life together. – Photo submitted
the reasons that the kids didn’t get hurt too badly was because the car is equipped with six air bags and they all deployed. Knowing what a close call that was for the kids is horrifying. Please be sure to buckle up and teach your kids to buckle up. Life is good; hang on to it as long as you can. Trust me on this one; you never want to get a phone call from a crying mother. I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Enjoy the fall weather. See you next time.

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer RURAL SHELL LAKE/BURNETT COUNTY — If you know Stan and June Wall Wickman you know two things about them for sure. They love to dance, and they love to celebrate their marriage. This couple, who married in 1942, were both raised on farms. “We met at a dance,” says June. “It was during the war, and there were a lot of dances then. Gas was rationed, so we’d make sure we had a carload of friends that went with us, and it was at one of those dances at Spenser Lake that I met Stan when I was 18 and he was 21. We used to go to dances everywhere, in schoolhouses and front parlors, and my own mother was one of the people who held dances in their living rooms. We’d move all the furniture out, and an accordion-playing neighbor would come over along with all our neighbors. Those that didn’t want to dance went into the kitchen to play cards. We’d go down to Turtle Lake twice a week to dance until they tore the place down and put up the casino, and we’d go over to Indian Creek and Bloomer and Amery just to dance. We’d skate and sled in the winter with the neighbors, and it all sadly came to an end when everyone got TVs. Everyone just wanted to stay home then and the fun was over.” As you can see, they danced their entire lives. They celebrated their anniversaries with dancing. When they celebrated 40 years together, it was in Turtle Lake, dancing. The same for their celebration of 50 and 60 years together, these in Shell Lake at the community center, also with dancing. They also lived in assorted housing after they married a year later. They moved into a house that was on the farm Stan was renting. It was next to his folks’ farm, because out of the eight living brothers - one of the nine died at the age of 2 - Stan was one of the farming sons. Three of his brothers joined the service, and his mother said she had sent enough of them to war, and Stan should stay home and help on the farm. One of the places they lived in was a two-car garage, and one of the houses was no better or no worse than anyone else’s. Even though there was a large kitchen, living room and back porch, there was no insulation, and during the winters they kept warm by putting a stove in the middle of the living room floor. Eventually, they were able to put felt paper on the ceiling to help

Painting our world gold
by Mary B. Olsen The color gold that dominates our fall landscape is priceless. Friends and neighbors are exclaiming, “The colors are so beautiful this season!” And everyone agrees. The gold and yellow leaves of our trees have changed dramatically and suddenly. The rather humdrum greens of our herbal environment have done an about-face and present to us their true colors. Vibrant gold and deep reds shine in the sunlight. Added to the fall scene are the frosty ground and the crisp air that actually gives us a warm and cozy feeling. We know cold weather is on the way, and the brilliant colored leaves will fall to the ground. It is the time before we snuggle in for winter. It is the time for taking in, and storing for the future, the beautiful colors and the pleasures of the fall. Those of us with the home nest-building instincts find this season an occasion for adding to nature’s splendor by decorating our yards and homes with our own versions of fall colors. You might see gold and red garlands of leaves entwined around an old wooden wheel. You will see wreathes at doorways. The products of our gar-
Hope you have a wonderful day, Charlotte. Well, Rory and I have a new little puppy at our house. He’s black and white with gold going through his hair. He’s so small I can’t see him playing for a while with Rory. He is only 8 weeks old at this time. Kind of fits in my hand and is very cute. I had gotten him for Rory to play with, but that will be a while. I have named him Tinks. So wish me luck. I got a card from Calvin Krantz. It was so sad to hear of his wife dying on Aug. 21. He says he was up to Stanley and June Wickman’s a while back as they used to hang out together years ago. He says he misses his wife’s canning and all the good food she used to make. She was 87. I want to sit down and type a letter to Calvin. Oh yes, Calvin sent me a picture of the whole gang of people and did his best to tell of the nephews and nieces, grandchildren, great-grands and he identified his wife and himself. What a wonderful surprise to get this in the mail even though it was sad. Calvin is 86 and a brother of the late Gordon Krantz. Jim Toll tells us his son, Dave, was up for the weekend and helped Bill Taubman combine corn. Tam Toll from La Cross was also up at Jim’s for the weekend. The Clam River Tuesday Club met at Beth Crosby’s on Oct. 3, and they got the tickets done plus a lot of things for the fundraiser they will have Oct. 13 at the Legion hall in Indian Creek. Understand they have lots of prizes and an auction, live music and tons of food. Plan to attend. Has anyone noticed the green ferns along the side of
the road? Well, those ferns are now yellow and so pretty. I noticed small popple trees, about 3 feet high, also have leaves, and they’re a very pretty yellow. Talking with my favorite sister, Marie Quam, we find her hubby, Warren, went down to Sue and Tim Pedersons. Saturday found Mike and Gene Quam home from out West after being gone a week. Hear they had good luck. Last weekend, Butch and Loretta VanSelus attended the 50th wedding anniversary for Myron and Nancy Marshall. Congratulations to the Marshalls. Loretta tells me they have 56 baby pigs now. That’s from six mamas. Joanne Schade from the Twin Cities was up Saturday and Sunday to see her mom, Catherine Schumaker, and to see Betty. She stayed Saturday night with Betty and Carl Meister. I think son Richy is now done combining beans and corn. I imagine his corn was about dry. He lives in a trailer house back of his former home. He is still waiting for new-house bids. Sunday afternoon, Vicki and Don Trott picked up Cecil and Evelyn Melton and went to Jeff and Peggy Vistas. The reason? Well, Don Lane had a birthday recently and they enjoyed cake and ice cream with Don and the family. Diane Hulleman attended the rehearsal and dinner at Stillwater on Sunday for grandson Chris Perlt and Tiffany Wilson. They will be married Saturday, Oct. 13. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!
dens will grace our yards. Then there are the huge and tiny baby pumpkins and the squash, shapes of many kinds, to compliment our natural displays. We take fall decor seriously. The more adventurous among us add whimsy to their creations. These are the harvest figures that inhabit our porches and doorways and recline on our lawns. Like the scarecrow stuffed with straw and clothed in ragged castoffs, and wearing a painted grin, this kind of decoration is not only found here. This kind of fall endeavor is happening all over the country. The figure may wear a worn straw hat on his pumpkin head. It may be like the old-time hobo, or tramp, that came to beg at homes in years gone by. It may be decked out in a pair of long underwear and stuffed with rags. On the deck, sitting solemnly in an old rocking chair, the figure makes a statement. It says silently that its maker has a great sense of humor. One may enjoy the originality and laugh at them, but we may wonder from where does this practice come. Where did this idea of placing straw people as a yard display originate? According to some of the experts on this kind of thing, the decorated harvest figures have been around for a good long time. Our world is based
on agriculture. We have inherited our love of gardening and growing things. Times past, a fall harvest was necessary to life. All of the aspects of producing crops were celebrated by the people. The spring was for planting and a time for hope, and the fall was the result of the work and the elements of nature. Fall was the payoff. All of our art and literature sprang from our reliance on the harvest. The figure was a symbol that would be sacrificed so that the Earth could replenish itself when the old season passed away. Then the Earth could renew itself for the season after the winter passed. Isn’t it sort of mysterious? Is that disreputable stranger inhabited by ghosts of the past? Is it warning us that winter is on the way? Who knew that we can trace its pedigree back into antiquity, and it is a part of the inheritance shared by our human family. We should celebrate this tradition. And we do. Maybe our local tastes run to Halloween themes, and the spooks and goblins and our stuffed figures are only a part of it. There certainly are carved pumpkins and white ghosts and witches scattered in among our fall decorations. It is time to hang out little pumpkin strings of lights and get ready for the trick-or-treat children. Fall is certainly a colorful and pleasant time of year.

Ol’ Jack Frost came through Saturday and Sunday morning and left a white coating of frost.

Sarona by Marian Furchtenicht
Our Indian summer was nice while it lasted, but it came to a sudden halt the end of last week when the brisk winds stripped the trees of lots of their beauty, and the temps dropped, making folks shiver and turn on the heat. Be very careful, the fire danger is high because it is so dry. There is only a slight chance of showers that we so badly need. Virginia Stodola has had a busy birthday week. Last Monday, Karen Endicott, River Falls, visited her. I visited Wednesday afternoon. Friday her nieces, Gloria Lenduzski, Minong, and Sandra Cragin, Superior, and Jack and Judy Stodola, Onalaska, came for the weekend and daughter Sue, husband John Thornborg and grandson Matthew Hartwig, Okmulgee, Okla., came to spend some time with her. Dave and Kathy Stodola, Hudson, came up Sunday afternoon to see Sue and John while they were here. Anton and Gloria Frey had also stopped by on Saturday, so Gin has been a busy gal. Many more happy birthdays are wished for her. Marlene Hansen enjoyed a sister weekend with sisters Janet Hamilton, Lynette Beuhler and Ellie Saffert. They spent it in the Bayfield area and had a fun time together. Sue Miller came up from Menomonie and visited her mother, Dort Lombard, at the Spooner Nursing Home. Willie and Vicki Lombard and Sue took Dort out to the Prime for lunch together on Sunday. Janace Gagner was admitted to the hospital in Rice Lake last Saturday and since Tuesday morning has been in Eau Claire with pneumonia and kidney failure and is very ill. Her daughters, Judy Schroder and Jean Prue from Appleton and Brenda Gagner, have been taking turns staying with her and the other family members have been going down to visit. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. A week ago Thursday, the Milt Semms siblings got together at Pat and Doug Sweet’s in Barronett celebrating sister Janace’s 65th. Besides Pat and Doug, Bradley Semm from Spooner, Carol and Lee Johnson of Rice Lake, Sandi Char-
trand of Rice Lake and Jan and Larry Sutherland and Rockey and Pat Semm of Sarona had a great day together. Rocky and Pat Semm’s grandsons Chris and Cole Stodola and Andrew Doanes, of Rice Lake, were up at Grandpa Rocky’s hunting. Congrats to Andrew, who shot a doe in the first bow hunt, his first! Jeff Hulton from Texas came up Friday until Sunday night visiting the kids, Lainy and Chane, so they all spent the weekend at Gregg and Sue Krantz’s. Thursday, Sept. 28, Matt and Kristi Krantz and children visited at his folks so Grandpa Gregg took them all on a hayride. Thursday evening, Sue had Gregg’s mom, Mary Krantz, out for supper and birthday cake for Gregg’s 60th. Saturday Sue took in the LaVerne Modrow auction in Shell Lake. It was a cold and windy day for it. Monday, Oct. 1, Sue Krantz went to Madeline Island and Copper Falls on work-related business. She reports it was absolutely beautiful with the peak of the leaves. Jan and Jeff Johnson had her family, the Frey family, in for Sunday night supper. Stevie Frey had just gotten back from a couple months at Camp Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. It was nice to have him back. The excitement in the village of Sarona was a billy goat running around, hanging around Mark West’s corn drier for a few days. No one seemed to know where he came from. Report it was very entertaining. Wednesday, Russ Furchtenicht took in the Dairy Expo in Madison going on the WITC bus. This past week the south end of Schoolhouse Road was having work done, widening and graveling it. Mavis Schlapper took in the Barron Electric meeting luncheon in Spooner on Tuesday. Saturday, Mavis and Jan Rath went to a dance and party in Chippewa Falls in memory of a dancing friend named George who had requested this when he
It was cloudy and cool Monday. The wind last week really took the leaves off everything. Some of the trees hadn’t even had a chance to show off their colors. We send sincere sympathy to the family of Clarice Morey who passed away on Thursday at Spooner Health System. Clarice was 95 years old and worked most of her adult life at the Shell Lake Bank while raising her lovely girls, Jene, Caren, Connie and Judee after her husband passed away at an early age. Our prayers are with them. Another member of Salem Lutheran Church who passed away a week ago was Mabel Schrankel. She will be sadly missed. Her funeral will be Monday, Oct. 15, at 11 a.m., with visitation being Sunday, Oct. 14, at Skinner Funeral Home from 4-8 pm. We send our love and prayers to the family. Happy birthday to one of our dearest tenants here at Glenview, Ruth Abrahamson. She celebrated her 99th birthday Friday, Oct. 5. Her son Jack and his wife brought us a delicious spice cake and ice cream. We love you Ruth! Pastor Don West and his wife, Helena, from Salem Lutheran were visiting some of his parishioners here and got in on the festivities. They had just returned from a week’s vacation and a trip to see their grandson get married in Lake Geneva. Tam (Aderman) Smith came here on Thursday with a few of her piano students to give us a short concert. They did very well. We even got to hear our tenant Opal Gothblad’s great-grandson, Andy, play. They did very well and we hope to see them quite often. On Friday afternoon the Shell Lake cheerleaders came to give us several cheers while practicing for their game with Frederic on Friday night here at home. In talking with Lillian Ullom, I learned that her sister-in-law Josie Mortenson has
been in and out of the hospital and not doing well. We’re wishing you better health, Josie, and also to her husband, Marvin. Mavis Flach is getting around slower these days after foot surgery. Get-well wishes to you Mavis. I heard there was a wedding this last Saturday of Ed and Kelly (Strand) Swan at the old South Dewey Church. Ed is the son of Pat and Merlin Swan of Spooner. The reception was held at the Barronett Community Center and the food was made by the groom himself. We all should have or have had a husband who likes to cook. The couple was married by Judge Gene Harrington. Congratulations! Myron Bolterman drove to Trempealeau to visit his sister, Arveen, and her husband, Dan Wellnitz. Happy birthday to Mary Helen (Pederson) White who was born on Oct. 11. (I won’t tell how old you are, Mary.) She lives in Cross Plains. On Sunday, Kathy (Odden) Granzin of Park Falls came to take her parents, Milton and Jean Odden, to church at First Lutheran in Cumberland. They went out to eat with Kim and Deb at Lakeview for their 63rd wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary to you! On Friday night, Nick and Brent Pederson came to spend the weekend with Jeff Pederson. Adam Gronning joined them for supper. I received word on Saturday morning that Jerid and Rachel Pederson have a new son named Gabriel. He was born on Saturday weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces. Jerid and Rachel live in Watford City close to Williston. Congratulations and our love to you. He joins Elizabeth, Daniel and Joshia. “Out of the mouths of babes come things parents never should have said.” Keep warm!

died. Monday Mavis took in the soup and sandwich get-together at St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Sarona. There were only 11 ladies at Katty breakfast last Tuesday. Elfreda West, Mavis Schlapper, Gloria Frey and I went. While daughter Mary Marschall and I were at Lono Café in Haugen one morning we were talking with Richard Semerad and he said his wife, Judy (Musolf) hasn’t been feeling the best. She’s been taking chemo. Said her sister, Suzie, from California had visited her. Keep Judy in your thoughts and prayers. Saturday I attended the funeral for Clara Kaiser at Faith Lutheran in Spooner. Clara was a nice person, always friendly and kind. I met my brother, Don Shoquist, and sister Nell Lee there. Afterward, we went to Karen Clydes in Mackey Valley, as sister Verna was up from St. Paul and Sharon and Merle Wilber came from Webster for a chicken dumpling supper together. Sunday, Mary Krantz visited me in the afternoon. I put her to work peeling apples. Grandson Casey had come and picked my apples.
Elaine Ryan and I had fresh cake and coffee at Cindy Furchtenicht’s Sunday morning. I was a coffee visitor at Bev Helmer’s one day. Jim Bird had been up for a few days. Bev’s son, Bob, and his son, Tyler Helmer, West Bend, had been up last weekend. A happy birthday is wished for Norman Ness, Steven Frey and Joyce Ellingson, Oct. 11; Paul Armour, Delores Livingston and Jim Bennewitz Oct. 12; Bobbi Bailey, Jack Dahlstrom, Brent Konop and Richard Kooper, Oct. 13; Teresa Vanderhyde, Dayle Ricci, Tom Stubfors and Leonard Spexet, Oct. 14; Gene Sigmund, Polly Parker, Gwen Organ, Zach Irvine, Joyce Nyara and Jake McQuade, Oct. 15; Joann Milton, Don Albertson, Kathy Krause and Allan Lawrence, Oct. 16; Geoff Hagen and Roger Elliott, Oct. 17.

A
husband was lying in bed suffering from a terrible hangover. Feeling sorry for him, his wife knelt beside the bed and began to pray, “Lord, my husband is sick. He’s not feeling well at all. Last night he got …” “Honey,” he interrupted, “don’t you dare tell God I got drunk. Tell him I have the flu.” We can fool man, but we cannot fool God. God’s word reminds us that he sees and knows everyone and everything. No thought, no word, no deed can be hidden from him. But in spite of it all, he loves us just the way we are. And he loves us so much that he does not want to leave us in a broken and battered condition. He does not want to leave us with heartaches and hopeless lives. He wants to change us from the inside out, so we can be the person he designed us to be. He will give us the power to become a child of God and overcome the events of life that would destroy.

Back in time at the Beaver Brook School for the third-graders
The Shell Lake third-graders got the opportunity to see what a one-room schoolhouse looks like when they visited the Washburn County Historical Society Museum on Thursday, Oct. 4. While many thought it was cool, most of the students did not want to give up amenities that they are used to having. Marguerite Kevan dressed the part of a one-room schoolteacher. — Photos by Larry Samson
Kyla Leek rang in the school day at the Beaver Brook School much like a student or teacher would have 80 years ago. Ethan Jacobson, Cole Lynch and Rhianna Johnson wait their turn under the supervision of Marguerite Kevan, museum volunteer.
LEFT: Lila DeLadi is in style with this ostrich plume hat. While hats are no longer in style, she thought it was cool.
RIGHT: Some things never change. Students in the Beaver Brook School started the day out with the Pledge of Allegiance much like these present-day Shell Lake students do. These students have grown up with computer SmartBoards and they found the blackboard to be fun.

Spooner’s new mall
Accidents
also hangs some of their best-selling purses from the knobs. It’s surprising that this 80-year-old woman, who is obviously lying about her age and is considerably younger, worked in the zoning department for the county for 15 years and was even the zoning inspector. But now she’s found her real calling. She makes perfect choices when it comes to buying merchandise that every age will like. And she’s already working on the hospital to let her increase the size of her shop by maybe finding a room somewhere in the building so they can expand. “If you think all the things we put out for our anniversary were great, you need to stop by Nov. 15 through 17, when we have our annual three-day Christmas open house. The number of items will easily quadruple, filling tables that will be set up and down the halls full of Christmas socks, gloves and centerpieces, birdhouses, feeders and even outside decorations alongside new and exciting purses and jewelry. We have a storeroom just bursting at the seams waiting for the big sale.” And just where does the money go that they earn, seeing they have to be self-sustaining? “It goes to redecorating the infusion room and the nursery. We’ve done work in the hospice room and the nursing

Lake Mall Shell Lake, WI 715-468-2314
571035 8r
by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER – OK, it’s not a mall per se, but if Lois Fox had her way, it would be. Her shop is filled with everything you could want. If you’re a woman, there are trendy purses and wallets with lots of camouflage. There is enough jewelry, including knockout rings and magnificent necklaces, to keep even the most avidly accessorized person in high cotton. There are enough watches available for sale that even the tardiest person would never be late again.

Students learn about forestry during Log-A-Load event
Shell Lake student Kora Folstad shows how old she is in tree years, about the size of a 2-inch sapling. The tree they were looking at is about 100 years old. Students learned that by counting the rings one can age a tree.
Shell Lake students have used the school forest as a classroom and valuable teaching tool over the years. Log-A-Load students from Amery Elementary School got that opportunity as they learned from a logger how to log a fragile ecosystem so as to minimize the damage.
The students attending the Log-A-Load event in Shell Lake had the opportunity to see how logging was done years ago. These students from Superior Elementary School got up close and personal with these workhorses. Paul Bunyan’s blue ox, Babe, might have been the bull of the woods at one time, but he is no match for one of these new processors. Max Ericson explains to the Shell Lake fourth-grade students how the $550,0000 John Deere processor works. The trees are cut to length in the woods and are picked up by the forwarder. One machine can do the work of 10 men.
Max Ericson shows how the head on a processor cuts and removes the limbs from a tree. He owns the logging company and is the president of the Northwood School District School Board. His advice to the students, “If you work hard, your dreams will come true.”
