Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - In the course of the Shell Lake School Board’s meeting on Monday, April 18, board members heard public comments about the dismissal of the school’s former volunteer cheerleading coach, Alana Harrington.

The board had a short and deliberately limited discussion on the former coach’s dismissal and about the need to find volunteer coaches for the school’s cheerleading squad. However, David Bridenhagen, Shell Lake superintendent, shed a bit more light on the situation.

“There were several areas of concern by administration. They were investigated and that’s what led to the decision to remove Harrington as the squad’s volunteer coach,” said Bridenhagen. The matter is planned to be discussed by administration and the school board in an upcoming closed session meeting yet to be announced.

Bridenhagen added that the district still

wants to have cheerleading and that the school intends on maintaining a cheerleading squad. In public comment, two members of the cheerleading squad spoke about Harrington’s dismissal, McLain Hutton and Cecelia Harrington. The Register notes that both of these students have familial ties to Alana Harrington, Hutton is her stepdaughter and Harrington is her daughter.

“Alana was the best coach that I ever had, and I believe the actions taken against her were made too quickly. I don’t think they thought about how Alana has lived here her whole life, she has kids here, her husband is a cop, and I don’t think administration took into consideration that people’s reputations are also on the line. After these allegations our reputations as cheerleaders are down in the gutter. We have been called derogatory names,” said Hutton, a freshman. Cecelia Harrington, a fellow freshman, also spoke, stating that she was very upset over how administration handled Harrington’s removal as cheer coach.

Bridenhagen said the district will start so-

Family of Marine killed in Chattanooga shooting receives his Purple Heart Danielle Danford |Staff writer GRANTSBURG - The family of Sgt. Carson Holmquist was presented with his Purple Heart medal on Wednesday, April 20, alongside the families of three other Marines who were killed last summer by a lone gunman in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Carson Holmquist, 25, Grantsburg, was born in St. Croix Falls and graduated from Grantsburg High School in 2008. Holmquist enlisted in the Marines right out of high school. Throughout high school he worked on a farm in Grantsburg. In 2012, he married Jasmine Jones and together they had a son, Wyatt Allen.

Holmquist served a deployment in Okinawa, Japan, and one to Afghanistan, as a diesel mechanic specialist. He earned several medals and honors, including the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement

Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and two Sea Service Deployment ribbons.

On April 5, Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill naming Wisconsin Hwy. 87 as the Carson Holmquist Memorial Highway.

At the ceremony held in Chattanooga, Lt. Gen. Rex McMillian, head of Marine Corps Forces Reserve, conferred the four Purple Heart Medals to the families of Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, Holmquist and Lance Cpl. Squire “Skip” Wells.

“Our brothers were taken from us; your sons, your husbands, your fathers, your brothers were taken from us, but what cannot, and will not ever be taken from us, is the incredible impressions they made on each and every one of us,” said McMillian.

The investigation into the shooting at the Navy Operational Support Center found that the 24-year-old shooter, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, was inspired by a foreign terrorist group making the Marines eligible for the Purple Heart.

“They were my brothers. I can never thank them enough, I can never thank you enough for what they did,” said Maj. Christopher Cotton, Mike Battery inspector-instructor. In the July 16 attack, Abdulazeez was shot and killed by responding law enforcement, after firing dozens of rounds into a recruiting center, killing four Marines, a sailor and wounding one Marine. — Danielle Danford with information from the Marine Times and Navy Times

Washburn County school libraries to receive money from Common School Fund MADISON - Public school districts throughout the state will share $37.7 million in library aid, from the Common School Fund, the only state funding specifically designated for the purchase of materials for school libraries. In Washburn County, Shell Lake will receive $24,312; Spooner $62,416; Northwood,

$12,935; and Birchwood $9,153.

Aid is based on the number of children between the ages of 4 and 20 living in each of the state’s 424 school districts.

This year’s school library aid payment will be $31.78 per child. Districts must use the Common School Fund library aid by June 30 for the purchase of print, digital

and technology resources that are housed within the school library program and accessible to all students in the school.

“Common School Fund aid is a major source, and sometimes the only source, of revenue for library services in our public schools,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers. “We depend on Wisconsin’s

teacher librarians to advocate for strong public school library programs that can offer a broad range of resources to support student learning We want our kids to be college and career ready, and strong school libraries contribute to that effort.”

Funding still sought for pipe organ project Danielle Danford |Staff writer SPOONER - Last fall, a 1951 Wicks pipe organ was gifted to the Spooner School District via Timothy Kern and The Servants of Mary in Ladysmith. At that time, the pipe organ had been restored and prepared for installation into the Spooner High School auditorium but waited on funds to make the move possible.

“We are still looking for money. It is

coming together, slowly but surely, in fact it was about a year ago that we started,” said Kern, music teacher at the Spooner Elementary School. Kern envisions the pipe organ to be used as a teaching instrument for choral, band and recitals, by community groups like the Intermezzo music group and for special occasions.

“Once the project got started the site preparation costs came out to be more

than expected,” said Kern. Specifically, the cost of the steel support beams and cement needed to install the organ came in higher than expected, $16,000 more.

On Monday, April 18, the Spooner School Board, during its regular monthly meeting, approved the project for the $16,000 needed to cover outstanding bills and finish the organ’s installation.

“There are some people that are work-

ing very hard to pull some money together,” said Kern. The Spooner Area School District is handling the financial account that supports the pipe organ project, Kern is not involved with the finances.

Donations can be sent to the Spooner Area School District office made out to the pipe organ fund.

Spooner cheer squad recognized as district athletic program Danielle Danford |Staff writer SPOONER – Over the past year the Spooner cheer squad has gone from a volunteer effort to a district-recognized athletic program. That leap took place on Monday, April 18, during the Spooner School Board’s regular monthly meeting.

“Ultimately, it allows us to further expand the program by allowing us to incorporate the exciting and entertaining elements of stunting, tumbling and dancing, which is standard with a traditional cheer squad,” said Holly Snyder, Spooner cheer and stunt squad co-head coach.

With district recognition, the program now has coverage under the district’s liability insurance so students can perform

challenging stunts, gymnastic tumbling and dance routines. District recognition also makes the program sanctioned by the WIAA and the Wisconsin Association of Cheer/Pom Coaches.

“From where we started, having nothing, to where we are now as a cheer program is incredible. As coaches, we have seen squad members achieve tremendous gains in skill development and personal growth. We plan to continue that trend as the cheer program moves forward,” said Snyder.

Since the squad appeared for the school’s homecoming game last fall, something that hasn’t happened in more than 10 years, attendance at home basket-

ball games has steadily increased, along with the excitement level at those games.

This is the squad’s ultimate purpose, to raise school and community spirit, and encourage crowd attendance and involvement at sporting events, while building teamwork, leadership, confidence and athleticism of its members.

“We are very thankful for the overwhelming support of the community, the school, the school board, especially, athletic director Matt Lucius, who has backed us since day one,” said Snyder.

Despite the district recognition the squad will remain a self-sustaining athletic program through fundraising efforts, to keep costs down for participants and the dis-

trict. However, students are responsible for the cost of shoes and bloomer shorts with an estimated total cost of $70 per student and the required district activity fee.

The Spooner cheer squad has two cocoaches, Snyder and Bri Saavedra, with Monique Clark as lead fundraiser and assistant coach, Cyndi Dennis, dance consultant, and Lisa Benson, stunting coach.

The Spooner cheer and stunt squad can be found on Facebook where regular updates are shared, like details on when tryouts for the 2016-17 school year will be held. Those interested in donating to the self-funded cheer program can email Lucius at luciusm@spooner.k12.wi.us.

liciting applications for new volunteer coaches, but time is of the essence. Tryouts for next year’s cheer squad need to be held before the end of the school year.

The Shell Lake cheerleading squad was brought back three years ago, and since its reinstatement, Bridenhagen acknowledged that it has helped in renewing student body involvement in school sports and school spirit. The squad cheers for football games and wrestling events.

Staff contracts approved The board’s decision with the largest impact involved the approval of the 2016-17 contracts for certified staff, the 58 teachers employed by the district.

Bridenhagen explained that issuing next school year’s contracts now is a way for the board to show they appreciate their current teachers’ work and desire to employ them for the next school year. If the school district took no action, the current teacher contracts would automatically renew on May 15.

Other personnel actions taken by the board include hiring Joe Johnson as interim varsity football coach and Anna

Spooner School District and former teachers contend contract damages in Washburn County Court Judgment made in one case Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - Four former teachers of the Spooner School District were present in Washburn County Court on Monday, April 25, regarding damages the district is pursuing after they resigned from district positions in 2015. Michelle Schwab, district superintendent, and Shannon Grindell, district business manager, were in court representing the school district.

The four defendants named in the cases are Marley Hansen, Ericka Suzanne Hutton-Parker, Emily Drew and Chad Gibson, each a former teacher for the Spooner Area School District. Both defendants and plaintiffs appeared in court without attorneys. Due to the amount of time it took to get through both parties’ evidence, only the case against Hutton-Parker was determined by assigned Judge Andrew Lawton. Parker was employed by the district for two school years prior to 2015-16 and has been a teacher for nine years.

The meat of the court trial on Monday involved the employment contract Parker signed for the 2015-16 school year in June 2015. Parker resigned from that special education position on Aug. 21, 2015, after the date stipulated in her

contract which requires $3,000 be paid to the district in damages after Aug. 16. In testimony Schwab stated that all the cases were similar in this way, the only difference being that Parker had a counterclaim against the district for sick time she took after resigning in August 2015.

Contract In testimony about the contract damages dispute, Schwab referenced the contract language that states the district is owed $3,000 if the employee’s resignation is effective on or after Aug. 16.

Schwab contended that even though Parker dropped off her resignation letter on Aug. 21, staff were not aware of it until Monday, Aug. 24, and the board didn’t approve it until Aug. 31, making her responsible to pay the contract damages to the district.

In Parker’s testimony she pointed out that the contract only states damages and doesn’t specify if they are actual or liquidated. Parker contended that the district had no actual hardship due to her resignation because she wasn’t replaced. She also stated that she discussed the contract with other teachers but felt she had little choice in signing because if she didn’t it would be a viewed as a refusal of the posi-

tion by the district.

Counterclaim Parker’s counterclaim was for payout of sick days she took after submitting her resignation, totaling just under $1,000, which she took under advisement of her physician due to stress and anxiety she was experiencing. Parker also made claim to payment for two days of professional development she attended before her resignation totaling $200. Schwab stated that Parker wasn’t paid the $200 because she had selected a 20 pay period schedule which doesn’t begin until two weeks after student contact days begin, well after her resignation.

Schwab stated it was the district’s opinion that Parker was still an employee and should have appeared for work and followed procedures from the employee handbook. Lawton then interrupted Schwab, questioning her on why four teachers would be fighting the district on the same issue. In response Schwab stated that damages being enforced by school districts is newer in this area of the state, an impact of ACT 10 which did away with district/teacher contract negotiations.

Judgment In making his judgment, Lawton said

that, “contract construction takes away what I as a judge can do because I think it is the right thing to do.” He pointed out that Parker is a competent individual, an attribute she must carry into her profession as a teacher, which he said would leave a hole without her services to the school district.

“There is a rationale for at least some damages for when a teacher leaves and in this case the unfortunate part about this is you (Parker) signed this contract,” stated Lawton. Lawton found that the language in the contract was clear, awarding the school district the $3,000 in damages minus Parker’s $1,200 counterclaim against the district.

Before adjourning Lawton recommended to Schwab that the district make every effort to allow Parker to pay off the damages before docketing a judgment against her. He also recommended to all parties that into light of this trial they attempt to enter in some kind of agreement outside of court. The court date to pick up the remaining three cases is to be determined. One other defendant, Emily Drew, also has a counterclaim against the district for $200, regarding payment for professional development days.

One vote matters Close races and ties in the spring election Gregg Westigard | Staff writer B U R N E T T / P O L K / WA S H B U R N COUNTIES – One vote matters. In the Tuesday, April 5, election, a person won an election by receiving a total of two votes. Several elections were decided by six or fewer votes. And in two contests, there was a tie, with the winner decided by a coin toss. Across Washburn, Polk and Burnett counties on election day, one vote mattered in many contests.

The closest contest was for a Washburn County Board seat. In District 12, there were 290 votes cast. David Masterjohn and Dean Brayton each received

145 votes. The tie was broken by drawing names, and Masterjohn was returned to the board.

There was also a tie for a seat on the Shell Lake City Council, but in this case there was a write-in contest in a race where there was no name on the ballot.

Chad Shelton and Sarah McCumber each received two votes for the Ward 1 seat.

Shelton won the coin toss and returns to the seat that he failed to apply for during the December filing period.

Shell Lake had another close contest in Ward 2 where Terry Leckel Jr. continues serving on the council after winning a one-year term with a three-vote margin, 111-108, over Tammy Hopke.

Three votes also won Steve “Fluffy” Sather another term on the Washburn County Board in District 19. Sather had

declined to run for re-election back in December, and no write-in candidates came forward during the following four months leading up to the April election.

Sather’s three write-in votes gave him a victory over 15 people who each received a single vote.

Siren Village also had a close write-in election. Marvin Halverson was elected to the third seat on the village board with 14 votes, defeating Steve Young, who received 11 write-in votes. There were another 11 scattered votes in Siren.

There was a one-vote victory in Frederic Village, where Richard Heltemes took the third council seat with 133 votes to Allan Lahti’s 132 votes.

The Spooner City Council has a new member in Ward 4 where write-in candidate Tim Donovan received six votes to

win an open seat with no name on the ballot.

Write-in candidates can register before election day and several “official” registered write-ins were elected to positions on April 5 with significant numbers of votes. Matt Brice won a write-in contest for the St. Croix Falls School Board with 177 votes. Rick Palmer was elected to the Luck School Board with 137 write-in votes.

The last contest was for another seat on the Washburn County Board. Micheal Bobin did not file his papers for re-election to the board back in December. He then registered as a write-in for his District 1 seat and was re-elected with 35 votes.

I see Independent Bookstore Day

shows how symbiotic the relationship is between readers, writers and bookstores, and how essential they all are in sustaining the contemporary written word,” noted Lauren Groff, 2016 Bookstore Day author ambassador.

Historical society holds annual meeting SHELL LAKE - The Washburn County Historical Society held its annual meeting on Thursday, April 21. Officers re-elected were Tim Brabec, president; Renee Bell, vice president; Patty Tallant, secretary; and Cathy Wahlstrom, treasurer. Longtime member Elmer Anderson Jr. retired from the board with its heartfelt thanks.

It was decided the society will have a booth at the Washburn County Fair. The Chocolate Fest will be held Saturday, Sept. 3. The pie and ice-cream social will be held Saturday, July 2, but needs a chairman to head up the project. The door is open for volunteers.

Myrna Atkinson displayed a quilt she is working on to raffle off for the benefit of the society. Another activity is the editing of Volume VI of the Historical Collections

by Sharon Tarr. Those interested in having their family stories included should contact Tarr. Copies of the earlier volumes are available for sale.

Marguerite Kevan will be the guide again this year for those viewing the museum at Shell Lake, which will be open

Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 3 to Sept. 3. Mary Olsen will be the guide for the Springbrook Museum on Fridays during the same time period.

The research room in Shell Lake is open Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and also by appointment.

The society has decided to retain a manager under contract for its general operation and help organize its activities and displays. The society now has six main buildings and three smaller ones at its Shell Lake complex and the Church Museum at Springbrook. However, such a manager needs some compensation and anyone who wishes to contribute to this position is encouraged to do so. All donations are tax deductible.

The society is entering its 60th year and all those who are interested in preserving the history of Washburn County and their family histories for future generations to enjoy are more than welcome to join. Call 715-468-2982 or write WCHS P.O. Box 366, Shell Lake, WI 54871. — from WCHS

Over 850 members and guests attend Barron Electric’s 80th-annual meeting BARRON - Barron Electric celebrated 80 years of delivering affordable and reliable electricity at their members’ annual meeting on Saturday, April 9.

Congressman Sean Duffy and Sen. Janet Bewley both recognized Barron Electric for their 80 years of service. Duffy expressed his thanks to Barron Electric for taking the lead and keeping him informed on issues facing the electric industry. He said, “This partnership helps me do my job better to assist in keeping your rates low.” Bewley presented Barron Electric with an 80th anniversary certificate from Wisconsin’s Gov. Scott Walker.

Barbara Nick, Dairyland Power Cooperative’s president and CEO, told members, “Dairyland Power’s goal is to diversify their energy mix by building more renewables and shifting from coal to natural gas.” Dairyland plans to add 15 solar installations throughout their service territory.

General Manager Dallas Sloan discussed Dairyland Power’s maintenance projects, including a 1.3-mile water crossing project over the Mississippi River.

He also emphasized Barron Electric’s commitment to worker safety, noting its extensive safety education and training program. He stressed, “Barron Electric’s

Selmer Nelson, board president, presented the free year of energy grand prize to Jean and Leon Comeau, Springbrook, at the 80th-annual Barron Electric annual meeting held Saturday, April 9.

— Photo submitted safety record is the second best in the state and has one of the lowest worker compensation rates. These savings contribute to keeping rates low. Barron Electric has

gone five years without a rate increase.”

Board President Selmer Nelson reported to the members, “Our balance sheet shows that our members have con-

tributed almost 42 percent of the capital required to finance the assets of the cooperative. Outage reports indicate that our reliability is very high with an average of only 1-1/2 hours of outages per member for the entire year.”

Incumbents Michael Baker, Lynn Peterson and Richard Bol were all re-elected to three-year terms, representing Districts 3, 6 and 9, respectively. Members had the opportunity to ask questions. One member asked, “Why does Barron Electric give out large rebates to businesses?” Sloan explained that these rebates were given to members who have made energy-efficiency improvements in their facilities.

He added that rebates are also given to members who make energy-efficiency improvements in their homes. These rebates are funded through Dairyland Power. Another member asked about the security of the electric grid. Nick explained that the grid has redundancy and that there are strict protocols for security.

Leon Comeau, Springbrook, was the grand-prize winner of the one year of free energy. Kierra Schuebel, Cameron, was the kids’ grand-prize winner of an iPod Touch. — from Barron Electric

Spooner fifth-graders complete STEP program Spooner Middle School fifth-graders recently celebrated completing all requirements to graduate from the Student Tools for Emergency Planning program. The program is sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and focuses on educating young people and families on the importance of being prepared in case of a natural-disaster emergency. As part of Mrs. Lapray and Mrs. Johnson’s science classes, all fifth-grade students participated in the program, preparing skits and posters with preparation steps for specific emergencies. These students, however, went above and beyond, working with their families to create and practice a communication plan as well as creating an emergency kit to keep on hand. They were congratulated for their hard work by Washburn County Emergency Management director Carol Buck, pictured in back, and their teachers.

They were given certificates and enjoyed an ice-cream treat. — Photo submitted

Woodland Owners Association to hold field day SOLON SPRINGS - The Northwest Chapter of the Wisconson Woodland Owners Association will hold a field day at the Douglas County Wildlife Area, commonly known as the bird sanctuary on Saturday, May 21. Bob Hanson, a DNR wildlfe biologist, will give a presentation on the area known as the Northwest Sands, which runs from the Moquah Barrrens in northeastern Bayfield County, through the bird sanctuary down to Grantsburg and on into Minnesota. This is critical sharp-tailed grouse habitat that is slowly disappearing. Hanson will discuss

the importance of fire-dependent ecosystems, the role of jack pine on the barrens landscape and the variety of plants and animals that inhabit the Northwest Sands.

Fred Strand, now a retired DNR employee, who was manager of the area for many years, will take participants on a brief motorized tour to highlight some of the features of the area. Strand is also a member of the group known as the Friends of the Bird Sanctuary, and he, or someone from that group will give a talk on their role at the site.

After lunch, Mark Hager, a forester for

Douglas County, will conduct a short motorized tour of Douglas County Forest, to showcase the county’s forestry efforts and the contrast with the barrens habitat.

From the north, the bird sanctuary is south of Solon Springs. Follow Hwy. 53 south about three miles. Turn right, or to the west on CTH M. The Bird Sanctuary clubhouse is about a mile west of Hwy. 53 on the northside of CTH M. From the south, follow Hwy. 53 north about three miles north of Gordon to the junction of Hwy. M. A WWOA sign will indicate the clubhouse.

The event will start at 9 a.m. with a break for lunch after Strand’s motor tour.

After lunch, the Douglas County forester will give his tour. The day should end by 2 p.m. RSVP Kent Makela at 715-3642598 or via email ausdauerdogs@cheqnet. net, to plan for lunch by Thursday, May 14. Lunch will be sandwich, soup or hotdish, dessert and beverage. Your cost will be in the $ 5 to $10 range.

There is no other cost for the event, and of course, the public is welcome to attend.

s the host of “Kids Say the Darnest Things,” Art Linkletter had a way of getting children to talk.

Part of the magic was asking the questions and then waiting patiently for the answer.

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to help oversee a room full of 5- to 7-year-olds. The table where I was assigned to assist contained paper and rubber stamps for the children to create works of art.

The only child I knew at the table was my 6-year-old granddaughter, Adalyn. I was the only person at our table that she knew. As two 5-year-old boys were occupied stamping, I asked the usual questions. What’s your name? How old are you? After one boy said he was going to have a birthday at the end of the month, I said that I was going to have a birthday soon, too.

When he asked how old I was going to be, I said, “How old do you think I will be?” His reply was 35. I said, “No. I’m going to be older than that.” The young man next to him excitedly asked, “99?” “No. I am somewhere in between,” I replied. Adalyn quietly said the correct number to which one of the boys said, “She should know ‘cause she’s your daughter.” I corrected him by saying she was my granddaughter. At this point, he jumped off his chair, shook his head and said, “Really?” Oh, he’s a little charmer.

My next set of questions included asking what

He went Beyond the heon plans to tell me that he has a new little sister and that his want him to hold her. He said, “I don’t want office door parents to.” I asked him why he didn’t want to hold his little sister. His reply was, “’Cause babies pee and poop!” I Suzanne Johnson town they lived in. Since they lived in Minnesota, I explained that I was from the state of Wisconsin. Mr. Charmer said, “I bet you flew here on an airplane.”

No. It only took me less than two hours to drive in my car. Knowing that different states have different options of how many days a week students attend kindergarten, I asked if they went to school every day.

The reaction out of Mr. Charmer, with a rising voice was, “What? Do you think we are in high school?” He looked over at his little buddy and said, “She thinks we’re in high school!”

I couldn’t help but comment to one of the young boys that he had beautiful eyes and eyelashes. To this comment, he slapped his hands to the sides of his face and said, “I hear that all the time!” He shared with

tried to reassure him that it would probably be OK to hold her.

During that same weekend, I was sharing with my grandchildren how when I woke up that morning, their cat, Captain, jumped up onto my bed. I said, “He smelt just like your daddy.” Then I asked, “Does Captain put on cologne just like your daddy does?” Grandson Cole, who had recently viewed the movie “Home Alone,” pretended he was Captain as he acted out the scene like 7-year-old Kevin did when puts on aftershave for the first time and lets out a scream. I’m thinking Cole’s dad, Carl, must have petted Captain after putting on cologne. Cole asked me if I smelt like Daddy, too. Coming closer and taking a big whiff, Cole said with a smile, “Nope.” “You smell just like Grammy!” And then I wondered, “What does Grammy smell like?”

What ever happened to stand-up comedy? ust a few years ago, the television audience could comedy. He was drafted into the Army in 1952. They J tune in to any number of humorous variety shows Old wife’s made the album and then he started playing a club to or sit-coms. They were really funny. Kids could watch record his monologues. He went on to do more clubs them. The stand-up comics on the late shows may and found his real calling as a stand-up comic. tales have been considered too adult for small children to There were some stand-up comics who insulted

understand. Now the funny thing about TV is that it is mostly boring and not funny. For me, I used to think people did funny things, but now I think nothing is funny anymore. Maybe we have lost our sense of humor due to the overwhelming force of political correctness.

My favorites among the old sit-coms were really funny. The best were “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” with Dick and Mary Tyler Moore. I looked forward to their show every week. Another was “The Bob Newhart Show,” actually three Bob Newhart shows. Their brand of humor was the very best. We don’t have Carl Reiner writing shows or Bob Newhart with his lowkey stammering and humor that inspires our imaginations.

One time on a bus tour we stopped in Chicago and visited Navy Pier. Years ago there was an airport out there, and not much else, but it has become the place to go. It is like a marketplace where you can enjoy shopping and there is good food and lots of things to see and do. As our little group of tourists wandered through, I was amazed to see a three-fourths-size statue of Bob Newhart, in a set from his show as a psychologist, with a couple of seats. One could sit there and have someone take a picture of you. He was from Chicago, so they were honoring their favorite son.

Other comedians came from Chicago. They don’t have a statue at Navy Pier. They must think Bob is special.

Bob Newhart’s humor was original, of the kind that makes the audience think what they say is funny and very human. Unlike some of the other comics, he made you feel that you share a common quality and you can laugh at yourself.

When Bob first came on the scene in the 1970s, he was doing routines where he would be on the tele-

Mary B. Olsen phone. I remember his “King Kong” sketch. Bob was a night watchman, the first day on the job, in the Empire State Building, and he was calling his boss for help because a giant ape foot was coming through a window. This was funny. You saw nothing but his frantic nervousness, and he would describe what was happening, and add details, like the giant ape was holding a woman. Other routines were hilarious too. It went from bad to worse, and the humor from funny to sidesplitting.

Bob Newhart made two albums of comic monologues, called “The Button-Down Mind” and “The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back” and they were amazing hits. Some comics were doing albums of their routines, but Bob’s were so successful that they launched Bob into television and movies.

Bob Newhart was born in Oak Park on Sept. 5, 1929.

He and his family were not wealthy Oak Park people, but lived on Chicago’s West Side. He was the son of George David Newhart and Julia Pauline Newhart.

He married and they have four children. Bob was educated at St. Ignatius Catholic School in Chicago, and went on to Loyola. He was taking accounting courses and studying law. He also was interested in theater, and while in college, he would be at school in the morning, working as a law clerk in the afternoon, and at night taking in the nightclub comic scene. He dropped out and joined the comics with a friend. He wrote some routines and this led to his later success in

people, used ethnic humor, and there were women who made the scene and made us laugh. You could characterize the 1950s until the end of the 1960s as our golden age of TV and movie humor.

The sit-coms gave us gentle family humor, and Bob Newhart was one of the best. In one series Bob played Dr. Robert Hartley, a psychologist, with his strange panel of clients. He had a wife, Emily, played by Suzanne Pleshette. They stretched the envelope, as they say. Bob and Emily were seen together in bed. This had not been done in movies, but they were sharing a bed. It ran until 1978. Bob had another series with a different wife. Mary Frann was his wife. They were a couple living in an old inn in Vermont and Bob was innkeeper Dick Loudon, and Mary was Joanna.

There were characters who made the show funny.

Bob used to spend time on vacations with his family in Wisconsin when he was a child, so I believe he came up with some of the characters from people he knew from our fair state. Where else could someone find people like his handymen, like Larry, Darrell, and the other brother Darrell? These are our kind of people.

If you remember, “The Dick Van Dyke Show” ended with Rob Petry entering his living room, and going around the stool he always tripped over in the beginning of his show. That was funny. You expected him to trip and when he didn’t take the fall it was funny.

Bob Newhart ended his last show in an unusual way. Bob wakes Emily, his wife from the earlier show, and they are in bed. He says he has had this crazy dream. He was an innkeeper in Vermont and there were these strange people around. It was a typical Bob Newhart laid-back joke. There aren’t many funny things on TV anymore.

Sports from around the area Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The weather is still exerting its influence over the spring sports with cold and wet expected through the upcoming week. However, there were some games played in the past week.

Shell Lake baseball is in a three-way tie for second place in the Lakeland West Conference with a record of 2-1. The Lakers lost big to Turtle Lake/Clayton, 10-1, on Monday, April 18. On Friday, April 22, Shell Lake came from behind to beat Bruce in a nonconference game 8-7.

Shell Lake softball traveled to Turtle Lake on Monday, April 18, to play the Turtle Lake/Clayton co-op team. It was a close game but Shell Lake came out on the losing side, 4-2. Shell Lake is at the bottom of the conference, having only played two conference games, with losses to Grantsburg and Turtle Lake.

Spooner baseball is off to a good start with a 3-1 record in the Heart O’North Conference. The Rails had an important game on Thursday, April 21, when they lost 4-2 to the Hayward Hurricanes. That loss put them into a tie for second place with Hayward. On Saturday, April 23, Spooner hosted Ladysmith in a doubleheader. Spooner came out on top in both games, 10-9 and 7-2.

The Spooner softball team traveled to Hayward on Thursday, April 21, and won 21-8. That is the only conference game they have played this season. They are undefeated so far with a 3-0 record. They will host Bloomer on Thursday, April 28.

This will be a good opportunity for the team to show how good they are as they go up against the 6-1 Blackhawks.

Addison Schroeder, Hailey Balts, Olivia Jury and Grace Thomas are probably not thinking about boys and prom as they showed up to their older sisters’ prom while still in their spring volleyball uniforms. The girls will be spending the next few Saturdays playing volleyball. — Photo

Sunday, May 1, 2016 Sixth Sunday of Easter

O

ne day, John promised us, “God will wipe away all tears.” Sickness and sadness, sorrow and suffering - whatever causes people pain or problems - will be gone, banished forever. We all look forward to that special day.

So it is strange that David said that “God will record my sorrows, and list my tears on his scroll and in his record.”

Whatever could be God’s reason for doing this to David?

And might he do the same for us? Does it make sense that God would make a permanent record of grief - David’s grief and our grief as well?

God knew of David’s suffering and he knows when we suffer. Our God is a God who cares for us and has compassion for us when we are gripped with grief. Why keep such a record?

Because God will respond to our suffering!

Too often when we are overcome with illness or are struggling with sickness, we turn to the products we have stored in our medicine cabinet or to the countless remedies on the shelves of our pharmacies. And if and when they do not work, we turn to a physician and seek his counsel and cure. It is the normal thing to do.

Unfortunately, all too often we only pray when all else fails. It is as if God was not aware of our sickness or had no time to be concerned with our health.

Not so, says David. God has a permanent record of each and every tear that falls from our eyes because they matter to him. This is his way of saying, I do care.

Well, I’m back in soggy Wisconsin again and very happy to be home. The funeral that Lynn Thon and I attended in Texas was the most impressive military funeral I have ever been to. The casket was in a horse-drawn caisson. Glenn’s daughter, son-in-law and grandson had all been in the Navy, and they wore their uniforms and marched behind the caisson. An Army chaplain marched in front and one soldier, riding a beautiful horse, was right behind the chaplain. It was a very short ceremony, about a half-hour.

Estella tried to get a 48-, a 49- and a 50-star flag because Glenn had served under all three. She located a 48-star flag, and, of course, the Army supplied the 50-star, but she couldn’t find the 49-star flag. She was a little disappointed, but I’m sure Glenn would have been very proud of all she did in remembrance of him. Glenn’s widow, Jean, was so happy to see us and I’m very glad that we were able to be down there with her.

The trip home was better than the trip down until we hit Oklahoma City. Then it started pouring down rain so hard that we couldn’t see the lines on the pavement. We pulled into the first hotel we could find and rested until morning. Well, from Oklahoma City until the Minnesota

Miriah Lehmann hosted a barrel racing clinic at the arena just outside Shell Lake on April 17. Miriah said that the clinic was a lot of fun and a huge success. Twelve young women attended and clinician Kassie Green was on hand to give them pointers on the fine art of barrel racing. Miriah said the ladies came from all over the area including Green Bay, Medford, Stillwater, Spooner and Rice Lake. Because the number of people allowed to attend was limited to 12, each woman had plenty of one-onone time with Kassie. Miriah said that they had plenty of

Monday morning we awoke to a wet day. It also rained all day on Sunday so there is water everywhere. I guess we can’t complain. The grass is greener and flowers are blooming everywhere; even the dandelions. Remember when the kids would pick a bouquet of them for the mothers?

We had a busy week here at Glenview. Last Wednesday a group of singers here went up to Terraceview Living Center to sing for the residents there.

You see so many people you know and I think they enjoyed it as much as we did.

On Friday at noon, several went out to Peggy’s Place for lunch and enjoyed the trip and the food. In the evening we had happy hour for residents and several guests.

Last Wednesday, Mary Marschall took her mom, Marian Furchtenicht, to Rochester, Minn., for an appoint-

ment. On Thursday night, Mary was one of many that went to the Tower House in Cumberland for a birthday party for Donna Ness. Happy birthday Donna!

Arlys Santiago went to visit her sister, Avis Paulson, in Verndale, Minn., and together they went to the prom of Avis’ great-granddaughter.

On Sunday, Helen V. Pederson, along with Jeff and his daughter-in-law, Nicole, went to Stillwater, Minn., to take in the baby shower for Mary White’s daughter, Gina, who is expecting this fall. Needless to say, she was showered with gifts. It was at a golf club and we had plenty to eat and enjoyed the afternoon. I had four greatgrandchildren of all ages there.

time for socializing and everyone had a lot of fun chatting and learning.

Hippy, aka David Ullom, and Duane traveled to Blaine, Minn., on Saturday to attend a truckers reunion. Can you just imagine the tall tales being swapped there? When you’re with a bunch of truckers, the first liar doesn’t stand a chance. Anyway, they had a great time visiting with trucker buddies from years ago. Duane drove for Kenny Russell back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and some of the guys were from that time. He met one guy who was 93 years old. He told Duane that he had planned to drive until he was 95, but had to quit at 89 because one of his eyes went bad. Now that’s a dedicated driver. Anyway, they had a great time and Duane is looking forward to going again next year.

Duane and I had a great breakfast and visit at the Red Brick on Sunday morning. The cafe was almost full when we walked in, and we took the last available table. Well, just after we sat down, another couple walked in, looked around, saw that there were no more tables, and started to walk out again. We asked them if they would like to share our table, and they did. It was great. June and Roger (I didn’t get their last name) were from over by Clear Lake and were heading up to their cabin in Trego. While we waited for our food, we talked about lots of things — farming, trucking, gardening and the way things have changed over the years. It was a great way to start the day.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week.

I see Lundeen Farm Automation is hauling those good nutritious products to the field. Either it was for Doug and Karen Vanderhoof or the Crosby boys. Anyway, it’s nice to have it done.

Well, did we get our third snow on the robin’s tail?

That’s what Larry Samson told us. Let’s hope it’s done for the season.

I’ve certainly had my run of ladybugs in my house this spring. They’re everywhere and just a crawling.

Margaret Simon, 79, died this past week. She was the sister of Verna Lindstrom. Verna is the last one living in the family now. Sympathy to the family.

I see we have baby leaves a-coming, apple trees are

Stone Lake

blooming, flowers are up and I see dandelions a-coming.

It’s spring.

New neighbors. Last Thursday I was introduced to new neighbors. Their names are David and Lupe Craft and they live back in the woods on Town Hall Road.

David spent 23 years in the Air Force and his wife spent 24 years in the Air Force. They have retired and are enjoying themselves. Lupe works at the veterans clinic in Hayward and Dave works at home in his huge garden, which is a football field wide and long. He says he grows everything, even mustard greens. He is also putting in raspberries and blackberries. He has made many trails throughout his woods for four-wheeling. Dave also hunts and is anxious to get a bear with his bow this fall.

They have bear, raccoon and many other animals that come to visit them at their house.

News from Diane Hulleman finds Diane working at the school in Shell Lake on Tuesday. She went with her daughters, Jackie Perlt and Colleen Jensen, and granddaughter Izzy Jensen to the Tower House for supper Friday night. By 8 a.m. Saturday, Izzy had to be in Rice Lake for a writing contest. There were 42 children taking this. When the gals got done they went to Diane’s granddaughter, Nicole and son Jameson’s, in Rice Lake.

Everyone brought something for the open house at Nicole’s and it was a wonderful day. Diane’s birthday was this past week and she celebrated, celebrated and celebrated. Robin and her honey took her mom out for her birthday at Bistro 63, which they all enjoyed. This is the former Spanky’s. It was also Robin’s birthday in April so they had a lot of celebrating. Diane’s children and grandchildren made a dish to pass for the open house. Diane got many beautiful gifts from her family. One she really enjoyed was a library house, which sounds interesting.

Diane says she really enjoyed this past week.

Saturday found Jackie Perlt, sons Ryan and Heather, Nicolas, and Chris and Tiffany and their little son, Eli, up at Diane’s enjoying time with their grandmother. Diane made a big supper Saturday night and she made up the breakfast but they had to cook it themselves as Diane had church at 9 a.m.

Mayflowers are out. We’ll have to change their names to April flowers as they seem to come earlier each year.

They are so pretty with their little precious purple and white flowers. They’re my favorite flowers. I guess because they’re so dainty.

Do you need a laugh? Well, read on. What did the love-struck cat say to the man of her charms? “Romeow, Romeow, wherefore art tho Romeow?”

I see the trees are coming around. You look in the woods and you see a partial green in the trees. Those leaves are a-coming.

Don and Vicki Trott and Tate Garcia enjoyed dinner with Evelyn Melton on Sunday. Later they enjoyed playing cards, which was such a good project to do on a dark and rainy day.

It won’t be long and people will be planting their gardens. Yes, those nice fresh veggies will certainly taste

Marian Furchtenicht

This week on TV it was all about Prince and a beautiful Saturday so farmers got some field work done. It was a rainy day on Sunday, which brought relief to fire hazard conditions and turned the grass greener. There was thunder and lightning with the hard rain on Sunday night.

Turkey hunting got off to a good start with several bagging one including my grandson, Brady, and the neighbor boy, Andrew Hiana and his friend. There’s been lots of seagulls on the worked fields, just white with them.

The woodlands are showing some color with the red buds of the maples and some greens mixed in.

Gas prices are on the upswing, being over $2 a gallon again.

A week ago Thursday, Donna Ness’ daughter, Julie, and three friends came to help her celebrate her 75th for a few days. Friday, at Bar H Ranch for their open house, then on to Hayward, shopping and stopped by to visit Tanya Ullom, then to a fish fry. Saturday they had company, Debbie Jamme’, Sarah Furchtenicht, and Scott and Gloria Butterfield. Later Donna and Julie went to the Barron nursing home and visited Earl and Dorothy Semm and found them doing well. Sunday it was church at Sarona Methodist where Julie attended Sunday school. They visited Grandma Lillian Ullom at Evergreen Apartments in Shell Lake and in the evening went to Arlys Santiago’s for a marshmallow roast. Monday they packed a picnic basket, went to Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls and went hiking. They also toured the Leinenkugal Brewery. In the evening, guests were Doug and Pat Sweet, who joined them for brownies and gifts. Tuesday at 6 a.m. they left for the Twin Cities to fly back home to Florida. No tears, ha-ha. That was a lot for a 75-year-old.

Harry and Verna Dahlstrom surprised Donna and Norm Ness by coming to visit and bringing a coffeepot bird feeder. She loves it.

Sue Krantz visited her dad, Hugh Smith, on his 88th birthday Friday. Sue and daughter Ericka Parker took in the Minnesota Horse Expo held at the fairgrounds in the Twin Cities on Saturday.

Lainy Hutton, with a couple of other girls, attended the Shell Lake prom Saturday night.

Joe and Deb Elble and granddaughter Rieley, Rice Lake, visited Elfreda West on Sunday. Otherwise her kids, Mark, Janet, and Ellen stop by often.

There were 10 attending the Sarona annual town meeting Tuesday night. The Town of Sarona cleanup is scheduled for May 21 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the landfill.

Mary and Fritz Mancl came to Mavis Schlapper’s and helped her rake and clean up the yard.

Virginia Stodola was saddened to get word her cousin’s son, Barry Johnson, Haugen, passed. Carmella had lost a son to cancer last year, so that’s two of her six boys that have died.

Dear folks that left us this past week were Reginia Brockman, 91, died Tuesday, April 19, at Brentwood Memory Care in Rice Lake. She and her late husband had retired in the Sarona area. The funeral was held at St. Joseph’s in Rice Lake with burial in the Sarona Cemetery.

Condolences.

Betty Schlapper, 88, Rice Lake, passed away at her home on April 13. She resided with her son, David. She and her late husband, Warren, lived near her folks, Rudy and Martha Trader, on CTH D in the Town of Beaver Brook years ago. She was a music teacher and played the organ and piano for the UMC of Sarona for many years. Graveside services will be held in the Sarona Cemetery. Sympathy from Sarona folks.

Misty Wickware, 38, Sarona, lost her life after being hit by a vehicle in Rice Lake on Saturday, April 16. She was the daughter of the late Allan Dahl and Terry Poirier, beloved wife of Jason Wickware and mother of William of Rice Lake and Shelly Wickware of Sarona. A celebration of life was held Saturday at the Shell Lake Community Center. She will be so dearly missed. Sympathy to the family.

I was so sad to hear of the death of Linda Webb, Somerset, wife of Dale Webb and mother of Joel and Jill Webb.

Linda passed away March 30 at the age of 54. They have a place on CTH D, across from the landfill here in West Sarona, where they came up for hunting.

Sympathy to my back-door neighbors on Bear Lake Road, Harvey and Marion Stodola, in the recent death of his brother, Charles Stodola, Rice Lake.

Cindy Bauman reports that the Relay For Life fundraising event held at the Getaway was a huge success, even better than last year. They extend gratitude to Heidi for opening up the Getaway to host the event and the local businesses and others who donated baskets and items for the auction and to the neighbors and friends who came and participated. We all look forward to the day when cancer is conquered.

Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board: No person shall be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the Assessor to view such property.

No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone or contest the amount of the assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed because the person has been granted a waiver of the 48-hour notice of an intent to file a written objection by appearing before the Board during the first two hours of the meeting and showing good cause for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and files a written objection, that the person provides to the clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for removal of any Board members and, if so, which member will be removed and the person’s reasonable estimate of the length of time that the hearing will take.

No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board or by telephone or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the Assessor or the Objector using the income method of valuation unless the person supplies the Assessor all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the Assessor’s manual under Sec. 73.03 (2a) of Wis. Statutes, that the Assessor requests. The Town has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the Assessor under this paragraph which provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their office or by order of a court.

Kaylee Dahlstrom, left, wrote a book inspired by her grandma’s new puppy called “A New Puppy”. Pictured at center is Emily Swan who wrote a book inspired by her visit to Lambeau Field with her family. Molly Christensen, right, made a pop-up book inspired by her love of ducks.
