STATEWIDE - This year’s deer harvest for the nine-day gun season was down 15 percent compared to last year. The steepest drop was up north, with harvests in Douglas, Iron, Price, Rusk, Sawyer and Washburn counties all down more than 50 percent from last year. Clarence Plansky, vice president of Wisconsin Deerhunters Inc., said the poor harvest is only partly due to the new restrictions on shooting does. Plansky said the hunt was also hurt by snow in the north and the inability of farmers to harvest corn in the south. “The doe harvest in the northern third of the state is gone,” he said. “They only could shoot bucks. Plus the bad snow depth in northern Wisconsin or all the corn being up in southern Wisconsin played havoc ... because the deer stayed in the cornfields and didn’t come out.” The Department of Natural Resources limited the doe harvest up north in order to rebuild the herd, which has been decimated after two harsh winters. - Glen Moberg | WPR News

City council approves officer promotion Longtime council member not to run for re-election Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake City Council approved the hiring of a third full-time police

officer, discussed the upcoming spring election, received a report from the city’s garbage service provider and approved several agenda items at their regular monthly meeting on Monday, Dec. 8.

City of Spooner recycled 145 tons in 2014 Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — The Spooner City Council was presented with a poster in recognition of the city’s recycling efforts at the council’s regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Lynn Struzan from Republic Services, the city’s trash and recycling servicer, presented the city council with a poster recognizing the city in their efforts of recycling. “Spooner definitely does a fantastic job. The city is definitely taking advantage of the program and making use of it,” said Struzan. For 2014 the city recycled 145 tons of garbage, trash that was kept out of the landfills and even repurposed into new items.

Struzan reported that the city has increased the amount of recyclables by 6 percent over last year but she said that eventually that amount will plateau. At the current rate the city is averaging about 282 pounds per household in a year. “I just wanted to recognize the city for their efforts and all the residents here for a great job in what they’re doing in the recycling end, saving our environment,” said Struzan.

In council decisions, the city’s room tax for 2015 was approved on a unanimous voice vote.

Room tax is a state tax law that may be authorized by a municipality on the renting of sleeping rooms at hotels, motels, resorts, inns, bed and breakfasts and other lodging facilities in the local area. The law dictates that the tax rate be between 0 and 8 percent and requires that at least 70 percent of revenues generated by the tax be used to fund tourism promotion and development.

Carol Dunn, Ward 2, and Gary Cuskey, mayor, explained that for 2015 the rate was pulled back from last year’s rate because they are a little concerned about revenues from the hotels staying constant with the loss of business in the Northwest Sports Complex.

“A lot of those receipts were from days when a lot of people were here because of the hockey camp, hockey weekends, tournaments, things

Moe like that, and so we were a little nervous to go with what we had last year in our budget so we pulled that back a little bit,” explained Dunn.

Last year the city generated $39,000 in room tax revenues, “and so we did a little over $32,000 for this year (2015) to be safe,” said Dunn. The 2015 room tax numbers were pulled back to reflect revenues similar to those generated in the fourth quarter of 2013. To reflect the lower tax rate, budgets that receive funding through the room tax were also decreased, with the exception of the sign for hotels as that project is under contract.

“Those Crazy Ladies In the House on the Corner” final performance this weekend Terri Reiter, playing the role of Jean, and Dave McNulty, playing the role of Calvin, provided the love interest and a little sanity in this play of three eccentric older women.

Providing the humor are the three sisters, Dora, Lydia and Maggie. They live in an old house on the corner, and all the action takes place in their living room. They provide most of the humor as they navigate through the changes in their lives. Shown (L to R): Pat Shifferd, Rose Bauman and Kathy Brihn.

Director Roger Sweeney and light technician Kelsey Egbert worked behind the scenes to put the Christmas comedy together.

“We’re setting the groundwork for when myself or Sgt. Bos retires so that we have a full-time person who has five to seven years of experience and knowledge with our community under their belt to potentially either be the next sergeant or next chief,” said Wilson.

LTE employees are not eligible for benefits through the city, but for Wilson the drawbacks for the department and the city outweigh cost increases for benefits. Eiche also stated that regardless of whether the budget increase for the third full-time officer was approved the city’s health insurance and retirement benefits will increase in 2015. The city’s public safety budget isn’t just responsible for funding the city’s police department.

This budget also covers the cost for the Shell Lake Fire Association, ambulance services and city water used from fire hydrants. Those costs account for about 38 percent of the public safety budget in 2015.

During the public hearing Vern Redlich addressed the council with two concerns he had regarding the city’s 2015 budget.

Redlich questioned the council on if the

2015 budget included funding of the lake coordinator position and chip-seal road repairs to the streets on the school view addition.

According to the 2015 budget document distributed at the meeting the city has allocated $10,000 in 2015 for crack fill or sealcoating. Eiche stated that those funds are planned for use on Laker Drive and Reinhart Drive in the city.

Sally Peterson, city mayor, and Eiche explained to Redlich that after Dave Vold, the city’s lake coordinator, retired the position was dissolved. The lake coordinator position’s main duties revolved around maintaining the requirements for the Department of Natural Resource permit for the diversion project. Now the project has exceeded DNR-mandated 10 years and those requirements are fulfilled, leaving the position with little more than answering phones at city hall.

Redlich was advised that if the lake association wanted the position back they would need to provide a job description and follow the appropriate channels of communication for it to be considered.

New educational opportunity opens in Shell Lake Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Patty Harmon, of the Polish Parlor nail salon in Shell Lake, has opened an academy for local individuals looking for a career in the highly soughtafter skill of being a certified manicurist.

“It can be a very good business for a woman to get into. There are a lot of ladies out there that would probably be very good at this that aren’t even aware that this profession even exists, let alone to have the ability to go to school for it locally,” said Harmon. Harmon has been operating her own nail salon in Shell Lake for the past eight years and her inspiration to open the Professional Manicurist Academy formed because of her own struggles to find quality manicurists in the area. When she first went to school to become a credentialed manicurist, she had to travel to Wausau several times a week for five months, a commitment with expenses not everyone is willing to take.

“I’ve already had a couple of salons from Rice Lake call me and say, ‘Let your students know I would love to have a manicurist in my salon so have them come talk to me when it’s time,’” said Harmon. A professional manicurist is certified to perform nail procedures including pedicures, manicures and acrylic gel polish.

“We can do anything with the nails that needs to be done,” she said. In preparation for starting the school, Harmon

by Danielle H. Moe herself has successfully completed a manicurist instructor program. Her salon has upgraded as well. The Polish Parlor is still located in the Lake Mall in Shell Lake but it now calls the shop across from the Washburn County Register newspaper office home. This location is now large enough to accommodate the Professional Manicurist Academy and a full-service salon.

“What sets apart from a full cosmetolo-

gist is the state requires 300 hours for a manicurist to be in a course and that entire time we’re focused on nails,” she explained. Following a textbook, students of the academy will learn how to perform manicures, pedicures and special nail techniques. Students will also learn about the laws on safety and sanitation of the nail salon industry and the diseases that can afflict nails. Part of the course will even include setting up a business plan

for a mock nail salon.

“They get a lot of hands-on time with clients, real clients learning how to interact and how to do the procedures properly on everybody that comes in,” she said.

Enrollment for the manicurist academy is currently open but there is room for only eight individuals. Classes begin Monday, Jan. 19, and will take place Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The class will run for 17 weeks with the final class to take place the second week of May. By the fifth or sixth week students will start to work with actual salon clients that have chosen to take part.

“When they get done with me, the student will have a certificate of completion and I’ll get them set up to take their state board test,” she said. Like any other licensed profession, those that wish to practice as a manicurist in Wisconsin have to pass the state board test to be a manicurist. In order to be accepted into the academy applicants must be at least 18 years old and have their high school diploma or GED. The cost for the course includes registration fees, a professional manicurist’s kit and course tuition. Payment plans can be arranged.

“I’ve had a lot of response from people that aren’t clients saying, oh I can’t wait, I’ll be in, and excited to check it out,” said Harmon.

Letters to the editor Thank you for nothing Uncle Sam In response to the wonderful Veterans Day activities and acknowledgements, I submit this letter of information to my fellow Americans. My husband willingly served military duty in World War II and the Korean conflict. He earned a service-connected disability. He is now 89 years old, and I, his wife of 64 years, am 85 years old. He has Alzheimer’s and related problems. I can no longer take care of him in our home because of my age and my own health problems.

Monday, Nov. 24 At approximately 6:15 p.m., Bekzad Mirhanov, 33, Elcajon, Calif., was southbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Minong, driving up the steep grade a mile south of Hwy. 77 and lost control of the semi. The semi, a 2009 Volvo, jackknifed on the ice-covered roadway causing a fuel leak of an estimated 15 to 20 gallons. Mirhanov was not injured in the accident but the rear driver side and middle driver side of the semi cab sustained severe damage. John Sager, a hydrogeologist with the Department of Natural Resources, requested a copy of the accident report.

At approximately 8:51 p.m., Mathew Wachtler, 32, Minong, was southbound on CTH I in the Town of Minong when he lost control on the icy roadway and went into the ditch. Wachtler was uninjured in

Tuesday, Nov. 25 At approximately 1:50 p.m., Barbara Odell, 57, Minong, was northbound on County Line Road in the Town of Minong when she lost control of her vehicle on the snow- and ice-covered road. Odell left the roadway, rolled one time and hit a medium-sized pine tree, coming to rest upright facing south. Odell did not suffer any apparent injuries and refused medical treatment. Her 2004 Ford Explorer sustained moderate damage and was towed.

Wednesday, Nov. 26 At approximately 1:47 p.m., Aaron McNitt, 17, Springbrook, was southbound

on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Brooklyn near Oakridge Drive when he started to change lanes after a vehicle had pulled out of a private drive onto the shoulder of the highway. As McNitt began to change lanes, he noticed a vehicle in the other lane and maneuvered to stay back in his lane to avoid hitting the other vehicle. As he did so, McNitt lost control of his 1994 Chevy K1500 pickup, which entered the median and rolled 2-1/2 times before coming to rest on its top. McNitt suffered possible injuries in the accident. The truck was totaled and towed from the scene.

At approximately 8 p.m., Roy Corey, 61, Rice Lake, was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Beaverbrook, half a mile from Hwy. 70, when he hit a bear. In the call transcript to dispatch, Corey states the bear almost tipped the car over when he hit it with the 2012 Ford Focus he was

Friday, Nov. 28 At approximately 2:42 p.m., Michael Maloney, 75, Minong, turned east out of his driveway onto Deeper Lake Road in the Town of Minong. Maloney pulled out in front of Michael Visger, 34, Minong, as he was traveling eastbound on Deeper Lake Road. Visger swerved to avoid Maloney but was hit in the passenger area of his 2006 Ford F150 by Maloney’s vehicle. Neither Maloney or Visger was injured in the accident but Maloney’s 2006 Ford Escape sustained minor damage to the front driver’s side. Visger’s truck sustained minor damage to the passenger side.

Green Team offers suggestions and challenges community to make green their favorite color Accepting old Christmas lights through Jan. 15 Suzanne Johnson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Looking for ways to provide information on recycling, reusing and repurposing unused items, six members of the United Methodist Church in Shell Lake have become part of a Green Team.

Shirley Hile, Gloria Carlson, Pat Hubin, Delores Livingston, Becky McQuade and Pastor Steve Miller have met once a month for the past two years to implement projects that help consumers to be more earth friendly.

With displays in the church narthex and each week giving a presentation on PowerPoint as well as sharing information in the church bulletin, the Green Team is providing the congregation ways they can become green.

The most recent endeavor by the team is giving the opportunity for people to recycle their old Christmas lights. The lights may be dropped off at the United Methodist Church in Shell Lake, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until noon from now until Thursday, Jan. 15.

Other items being collected are batteries and rags that include pieces of fabric that are unusable. The team encourages people to collect grocery bags and wrap that doesn’t crinkle such as the wrapping

from around packages of toilet tissue and to drop them off in the bag collection container at Economart in Spooner.

Economart is the official pickup station for the WRAP program.

Finding ways to be green in the church, the congregational newsletter is sent electronically to everyone who has the capability of receiving it that way and if that is the method they choose. This saves paper, postage and ink. Through an energy audit with Focus on Energy, the church has changed its lightbulbs to more efficient ones. In the remodeled church kitchen, dishes are washed instead of using throwaways and all office paper is recycled.

Trees have been planted on the church property. Available for purchase at the

church are handmade, environmentally safe laundry soap and soft scrub.

Printed in the June 2012 UM church newsletter was, “Together, as a church family, we can make more changes — in our church, our homes and our communities. Will you be willing to join with others to decide what those changes might be? One step at a time, one idea at a time, let’s roll up our sleeves and do this together. Green, let’s make it our favorite color.”

Community members are encouraged to become a part of this environmental effort and to make green their favorite color, too.

USDA extends application deadline for Dairy Margin Protection program SPOONER — U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced that the application deadline for the Dairy Margin Protection Program will be extended until Friday, Dec. 19. The program, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, protects participating dairy producers when the margin, the difference between the price of milk and feed costs, falls below levels of protection selected by the applicant.

“The 2014 Farm Bill created these safety net programs to provide safeguards against the uncertainty of weather and markets, but this safety net is not automatic. Producers must visit their local Farm Service Agency Office to enroll before Dec. 19,” said Vilsack. “Despite the

best forecasts, weather and markets can change, so a modest investment today can protect against unexpected losses tomorrow.”

“For just $100, a farmer can cover 90 percent of production at $4 margin swings, and with affordable incremental premiums, dairy farmers can cover up to $8 margin swings,” said Vilsack. “Those who apply this year will receive a slight increase in production protection that will not be available in the future. Farmers who do not sign up for the Margin Protection Program for 2015 will forfeit the 1-percent base production increase. For a 400-cow operation, this would equate to an additional 80,000 pounds of milk that are eligible for coverage. It’s a small step

to take to ensure your business is covered.”

Vilsack encourages producers to use the online Web resource at fsa.usda.gov/ mpptool to calculate the best levels of coverage for their dairy operation. They can type in specific operation data and explore price projections and market scenarios to determine what level of coverage is best for them. They can also compare the data to see how the program would have helped in previous years, such as 2008, when margins dropped from $8 to $3 in just three months. The online resource is on a secure website that can be accessed from computers, mobile phones or tablets, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Council members discussed seats up for re-election in the spring. They are: Tara Burns, Ward 2; Terry Leckel, Ward 2; Michael Andrews, Ward 1; and the vacant seat in Ward 1. Andrew Eiche, city administrator, announced that Leckel had decided to not seek re-election on the city council.

Lynn Struzan of Republic Services, the city’s trash and recycling servicer, presented the city council with a poster recognizing the city in their efforts of recycling. For 2014 the city recycled 109 tons of garbage. That’s a 12-percent increase from last year’s 97 tons.

day, Dec. 10, tonight, at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station at 7 p.m. The topic of discussion will be to make a final recommendation to the DNR as to what the public wants done with the deer herd in Washburn County. This will be a working meeting of the council, but as always, the public is invited to attend.

Due to the expected large turnout at the

meeting, there will be limits put on those wishing to voice their opinion. If you wish to speak on the subject, you must contact the chair either by phone, 715-520-0517, and leave a message with your name and phone number or sign up prior to the start of the meeting at 7 p.m. You will be allowed three minutes to speak your mind.

Area news at a glance POLK COUNTY — A 49-year-old Radisson man lost his life and a 75-yearold Cumberland man was seriously injured when a semi-truck passed through a stop sign, crashing into a pickup truck.

The accident occurred just before noon on Tuesday, Dec. 2. The driver of the semi, Ronald Jay Ebert, 55, St. Paul, Minn., said he applied his brakes but experienced a mechanical problem and was unable to stop. According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, the man who lost his life, Ricky R. Gauthier, was a passenger in a pickup truck operated by Allan L. Sierstad, traveling west on Hwy. 48 in the Town of McKinley when the commercial truck with dry van box operated by Ebert, traveling south on CTH E, passed through the stop sign. The impact moved both vehicles off the roadway into the southwest ditch. Removing Sierstad and Gauthier from the pickup truck required a lengthy extrication process, according to a sheriff’s department release. Gauthier was transported by ground ambulance to Cumberland hospital where he later died of his injuries. Sierstad was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital for treatment of his injuries. The crash remains under investigation by the Polk County Sheriff’s and Medical Examiner’s offices. They are being assisted by Wisconsin State Patrol motor carrier inspectors on the commercial motor vehicle aspects of the crash.

Responding to the scene were Cumberland ambulance and fire services, Wisconsin State Patrol, Polk County Sheriff’s Department and Luck Fire Department, which was requested to assist due to the length of time required to extricate both people from the vehicle. Life Link III air ambulance was also notified due to the severity of injuries and a second air am-

bulance from North Air Care was also requested for a scene landing. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• TURTLE LAKE — Ken and Judith Keppers, of Keppers Pottery and Produce in Turtle Lake, were featured on a recent episode of “Around the Farm Table,” hosted by Inga Witscher of St. Isidore’s Mead near Osseo. During the show that highlights winter, Witscher visits Keppers Pottery and Produce. After viewing some of Ken’s wood-fired pottery available for sale, Witscher skis to the greenhouse to interview Ken as he transplants seedlings. She taps into Ken’s decades of experience in building healthy soil and growing vegetables in accordance with organic standards over an extended season for year-round produce sales. The Keppers offer 40 weeks of vegetables and fruit throughout the year. Purchases can be made on farm, online individual orders, or as a prepaid Community Supported Agriculture box. For more information on the “Around the Farm Table” series, visit Wisconsin Public TV: video. wpt.org/program/around-farm-table/ or visit the “Around the Farm Table” website: aroundthefarmtable.com/, the Skijoring with Carlos episode. To learn more about the Keppers, go to their website kepperspottery.com, with links to their blog and Facebook pages. Keppers Pottery can be found on Hwy. 8 three miles west of Turtle Lake. — from Keppers Pottery and Produce ••• CUMBERLAND — The Cumberland Fire District recently received a check for $5,000 from Steve Laursen in his brother Brent’s memory.

in the Cumberland community. Steve thought the fire department would be a good place to donate some of the money in Brent’s memory. The donation is earmarked for a Hydrus Ultra High Pressure Fire Fighting System™. The unit goes into the back of a pickup truck with a 100-gallon tank. The truck will be used as a quick-response vehicle, needing only two firefighters.

Bandwidth Assessment Tool training to be held in Spooner

SPOONER — UW-Extension, the Washburn County Economic Development Corporation and the Spooner School District invite you to attend Bandwidth Assessment Tool training. This training will help you to better understand the benefits of broadband, high-speed Internet access, and the speed your business, residence, farm or anchor institution – government facility, medical institution, school, or library – needs to function well. The train-

ing will be held Wednesday, Dec. 17, 1-3 p.m., at the Spooner High School.

Broadband is an essential commodity for communities and businesses to thrive in the 21st century, but access to commercial-level broadband can be a challenge for businesses, schools, libraries and residents requiring reliable broadband service. On behalf of Wisconsin’s Public Service Commission, Jill Hietpas, broadband specialist for the UW-Extension

Broadband and E-Commerce Education Center will present data about the state’s broadband efforts, map current broadband access in the area, and enable you to learn and access the Bandwidth Assessment Tool to identify current or future bandwidth requirements to compete in a global market.

This training is open to everyone and there is no fee for attending. Local officials, community anchor institutions, eco-

nomic development agencies, and anyone who is wanting to improve broadband service in their community will especially benefit from this training.

You are encouraged to bring your own device — computer or tablet — to explore the LinkWISCONSIN maps and to fill out the BAT. The school’s computer lab will be available for those who do not have a laptop or tablet computer. — from UWEX and WCEDC

State Patrol Law of the Month National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month Drugged drivers in Wisconsin face severe punishments SPOONER — Drugged driving is a growing problem nationwide, according to the federal Office of National Drug Control Policy. To help combat drugged driving, Wisconsin law prohibits drivers from having any detectable amount of a controlled substance in their system, such as marijuana, cocaine or heroin, while operating a motor vehicle. The legal penalties for drugged driving are the same as for drunken driving.

The Wisconsin State Patrol and other law enforcement agencies are constantly on the lookout for all forms of impaired driving.

“Law enforcement officers have extensive training and experience in identifying drivers impaired by alcohol. Officers use many of those same procedures to identify drugged drivers,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Lt. Dori Petznick of the Northwest

Region. “Drivers who exhibit signs of drug use must submit to a blood test that determines the presence of drugs. Refusing to submit to the blood test means an automatic revocation of the driver’s license.”

In addition to illegal drugs, the overuse and abuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications, especially when combined with alcohol, will often impair driving ability and judgment.

State law prohibits drivers from being “under the influence of any drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving or under the combined influence of an intoxicant and any other drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of driving safely.”

Petznick says, “Drivers under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or a combination of the two are deadly threats to everyone on the road. That’s why officers never take a break—even during the holiday season—from arresting those who choose to get behind the wheel while impaired.” — from WSP

Reaching another anniversary

I

n the Dec. 15, 2004, Washburn County Register, this column, Beyond the Office Door, made its debut.

In that first column, I asked readers if they had seen the segment on CBS News, “Everyone has a Story” by Steve Hartman. I commented that I didn’t think I had much of a story to tell. After hearing a comment that this column was similar to the TV sitcom “Seinfeld,” meaning it wasn’t really about anything much, readers still turned to the page each week to see what I had written. I continued to come up with something to write about each week. It’s hard to

believe that it has been 10 years now.

Doing the math that must mean this would be the 520th writing of Beyond the Office Door.

Through this column I have shared with you some of my childhood memories, some of the things that have happened with my own two children and in more recent years, the birth

and antics of my three grandchildren. I even shared stories of things that have happened to my husband, Milt. I have commented on books I have read, movies I have seen and travels I have taken.

Some of you have taken the time to comment to me that you, too, have had similar experiences.

My purpose for this column has been to give you, the reader, the opportunity to have a quick read that may bring back a memory from days gone by. Or perhaps what has been written may give you encouragement.

Some columnists like to write about

politics and tough issues; I, on the other hand, would rather not.

Can I predict how long Beyond the Office Door will continue to be found in the pages of the Washburn County Register? No. But for as long as the words keep coming for me to type into a column each week I will continue.

Thank you for allowing me to come into your home each week with my cast of characters to hopefully entertain you for a few short minutes.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Ice-skating entertainment Mary B. Olsen

T

hey might have been named “A Holiday On Ice,” or “Ice Follies,” in the years that I was growing up, but attending one of these shows was a oncein-a-lifetime experience. We lived in a small town, far away from the large ice arenas where these shows were held.

For me to actually attend one was near impossible. It meant a trip to Chicago on the Zephyr, the passenger train, and an overnight stay at a hotel. My Aunt Min knew about these shows and when I was 6 years old I accompanied her to an ice show.

Ice shows were a new form of entertainment. Sonja Henie started it. The pretty little ice-skater from Norway gained the attention of the world outside of the people involved in Olympic sports. She came to America with her touring ice show. She was already making films and was said to be the highest paid actress in Hollywood at the time. Hers was the first show my aunt attended in Chicago. The show we attended together was after her earlier appearance.

It would soon be Christmas. We were up early for the train ride and at the station when the sleek silver train slid in and slowed to a stop. We stood on the

platform. I was wearing a coat and fur hat and muff my mother made for me and I had a little leather purse on a strap I carried. I had to be careful not to lose it.

Aunt Min held my hand and I was not afraid, not very much. A man climbed down off the train and set a stool down.

He called out the names of the towns we would pass through. Other passengers boarded and the man called, “All Aboard!” We were on our way.

We found seats and Aunt Min let me have the one near the window. I watched the little towns fly by and soon we were at a station where some people were getting off. No, Aunt Min said, “This is Englewood. We get off at the station in the loop.” The train started moving again, and soon we were gathering up our belongings to leave the train.

We got down off the train and walked along where we saw other engines and cars with names on them. There were people everywhere hurrying along. By the time we reached Chicago Street I had seen more people than I had ever seen in my life before. We arrived at the Chicago hotel and soon arrived at our room. I could look down on the dark street and see a steady stream of cars, trucks and cabs. There was a streetcar, too.

We had a lot of adventures looking at the beautiful store windows with animated figures and Christmas lights. A Santa and elves, and toys and decorated

trees, all arranged artistically. It made me feel like I was in a dream world.

We went to a movie at a theater and saw the movie and a real live band, and singers who talked to us, the audience, and sang their hit songs. I had always thought movies were just pictures, but here we saw the real actors who were in the pictures.

The next day we took a ride on the streetcar and went to the place where they held the ice show. We handed over our tickets and made our way through the crowds. We found our seats with the help of an usher. It was exciting. The audience was bubbly and expectant, and I felt like I was back in the dream world.

The show was breathtaking. The skaters danced, and glided on the ice, wearing glittering costumes. They maneuvered their rows of skaters like ballet dancers I had seen in the movies. The music was wonderful. The star of the show pirouetted and then spun around like Sonja Henie, and the crowd roared and clapped their hands.

My memory of that show stays with me. At that time, ice shows were new and we didn’t know they would catch on. The Olympic figure skaters did not wear short skirts until Sonja Henie started it with her short outfits and her white boots. Before that they wore what looked like sweat suits. She brought class to the sport.

She began a tour with a show and the rest is history. She toured in her “Hollywood Ice Revue” in all the major cities.

This was followed by others with summer ice shows in Sun Valley, and shows at Opryland, and “Disney On Ice” and many movies about ice-skating. It has grown to be a major form of entertainment and a holiday tradition.

After we came home from the trip, Aunt Min was telling my mother all about the ice show. She said it was almost as good as the Sonja Henie show.

“I could see a place off to the side of the arena where the star skater went while others performed. The poor girl was so tired, just out of breath, and it was such a short rest. The show wasn’t half over.

She is a real trooper, because she skated out there and performed, smiling like an angel.”

Some may say the stars are privileged and are paid too much. I think my aunt would agree that they are stars but she thought they earned their pay. The millions who bought tickets were paid with a memorable performance and some, like me, may still have lovely memories.

Ice-skating looks so easy. It’s like pole vaulting. It looks easy, too. Why don’t you try it? Not for me. I want both my feet on the ground, and not on ice. Have a nice Christmas, and maybe take in an ice show.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

We are back from Las Vegas and very happy to be home again, cold weather or not. We have decided that we have to keep Barronett a secret. If all those people in Vegas know what a beautiful, quiet little town we have, we’re afraid that they would want to leave that noisy, crowded place and come here. So don’t tell anyone from the big cities what a treasure our area is.

We went there for the Miss Rodeo America competition, of course. There were 32 women competing for the title, and they were all so qualified – great horsemanship, personalities, fantastic clothing, and, of course, beautiful – we wouldn’t have wanted to be one of the judges. After a whole week of all kinds of competition, the judges selected Miss Rodeo Oklahoma to represent the rodeo as Miss Rodeo America for the coming year.

You know, of course, that we were all cheering for our wonderful Miss Rodeo Wisconsin, Miriah Lehmann. Her performances seemed flawless to those of us in her cheering section – and she had quite a cheering section, let me tell you. The cheering section consisted of Suzy, Ryan, Tinille, Alyse, Anitia and Debbie Lehmann; Kayla Peichel; Art and Jill Adams; Jim and Maddy Marsh and Maddy’s friend Kristi; Lance and Chris Hook; Scott Copus; Jerry and Savanna Marsh; Dan and Deb Labbe; and Duane and me.

Of course there were lots of friends and relatives here at home who, even though they couldn’t make the trip to Vegas, were cheering for Miriah while listening to the competition on the Internet. Even though

Heart Lake It was snowing early Monday morning, but by 10 a.m. it was just foggy and dark.

It started back up again at 11 a.m.

Our sympathy this week to Sue Heilborn and her family on the death of her husband, Ray Heilborn, a former pastor at the Methodist church. Also sympathy to the family of Phyllis Weber of Spooner who passed away last week. Funeral was on Saturday. She was working at the Shell Lake hospital when I started there. She was a good friend.

Mary and John Marschall and family gathered at Bona Casa on Friday night to celebrate the birthdays of Wealthy Marschall and Sarah Mathison.

Sunday, Nov. 7, was Pearl Harbor Day when the Japanese surprised us early on a Sunday morning.

Wisconsin lost on Saturday 59-0, which was a disappointment, but guess the other team was better. The Vikings won on Sunday.

Janet Larson, our beautician, her daughter, Sarah, and grandson, Ryan, spent several days in Iowa visiting her daughter, Johannah, and of course shop-

Miriah was not chosen to be Miss Rodeo America, in our hearts she will always be the number one, best ever, rodeo queen.

Thank you, Miriah, for giving us this wonderful, exciting year.

We flew into the Minneapolis airport on Sunday afternoon. Picked up our baggage, drove Jerry and Savanna Marsh home, hurried back to Barronett, and got home at about 6:15 p.m. Well, the oldfashioned candlelight service at Wiesner Chapel started at 7 p.m., and we didn’t want to miss that. Pat Olson came over and she, Duane and I got there in plenty of time to sit and visit with lots of people before the service started. It was wonderful again this year. Pastor Jeff Martin is such a great speaker. He read passages from Isaiah and Luke, told the old story in a very thought-provoking way, and we all joined in singing the old familiar Christmas carols. The church was warm, beautifully decorated and filled almost to capacity. There were dozens of kinds of cookies and hot apple cider for the guests.

It was such a great start to the Christmas season. If you missed it this year, don’t worry. They will be having it again next year, the first Sunday in December, starting at 7 p.m. You might want to mark it on your 2015 calendar now so you don’t forget.

Next Saturday is the Barronett Lutheran women’s Christmas party. It starts at noon and runs until we all go home. I invited everyone at Wiesner Chapel to the party, so hopefully we will have quite a crowd this year. And, of course, all women are invited whether you happen to be a member of Barronett Lutheran or not. We will

That’s all I know from Barronett this week. I hope to see you at our Christmas party on Saturday. Have a wonderful week.

WCAHS Tree of Lights held at the shelter SPOONER — On Monday, Dec. 1, Washburn County Area Humane Society held its annual Tree Lighting at the shelter.

Staff members, board members and visitors gathered to share stories of their beloved pets, partake of refreshments, visit the cats, dogs and bunnies available for adoption, win prizes and view the lighting of the tree.

Over $3,800 was raised so far this year with the Tree of Lights. Donations are still being accepted if you would still like to have your pet’s name on the tree, which will be up until Christmas.

Door-prize winners were Sandy Bjurman, Monte Miller, Denny Snarski, Bill

Thornley, Liz Borelli, Stella Snarski, Chris Kading, Winona Coshow and Belle Adams.

by Marian Furchtenicht The mercury has risen a bit, so folks have been enjoying milder weather and the big full moon on Friday and Saturday night. Been cloudy since. It was snowing a bit as I wrote this column.

A correction from last week: It was 11-year-old little Scotty Mancl that had bagged the nice buck, an 11-pointer, not Grandpa Fritz like I previously reported.

They were hunting together though. It made the buckboard pool at Whitetail. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Congrats Scotty.

Sam and Libbie DeTrent flew out to Maryland to her daughter, Elizabeth’s, for Thanksgiving and the baptism of grandchildren number six, baby Rose Libbie. They were gone a week and report a nice trip.

She suffered a stroke.

Christmas trees are being decorated. Grandson Brady got mine and set it up for me, only the fiber-optic lights on it as yet. The Methodist church folks got the one all decorated at the church on Sunday. Looks so nice. Getting to look a lot more like Christmas.

It certainly has been windy but warm. The snow from our big snowstorm in November is about melted, and it’s great! Who needs snow? Well, it’s great for skiing and sledding and of course if it gets cold it’s great ice fishing.

baked gingersnaps, pumpkin bread, a double batch of peanut butter kisses and a double batch of sugar cookies.

She was at Shell Lake Schools twice this week and said she really enjoyed it. Saturday, Diane and her chicks were in Eau Claire. She said they shopped until they dropped on Saturday, had dinner, and they enjoyed an evening of relaxing. Sunday morning they got up had breakfast and did some more shopping, and later Diane stopped in Rice Lake at Nicole’s home. Nicole and Jameson were able to move into their new home that day, and Diane was able to help. Diane tells us Nicole has a very cute three-bedroom home. Diane returned home Sunday evening.

This past week I saw Linda Peterson. Linda is the daughter of Virgil and Dorothy Peterson, former Dewey Country residents. Linda has one sister, Kathy, who lives in Eau Claire. Dorothy died a few years ago. At this time Virgil is in an Eau Claire nursing home.

SHELL LAKE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Ray D. Heilborn, 90, Shell Lake, died Dec. 1, 2014, at his home after a lengthy battle with renal failure.

Ray was born Feb. 28, 1924, in Saginaw, Mich., the fourth of 11 children of Chester and Charlotte (Adams) Heilborn. In 1944, Ray married Eve Wager and enrolled at the Chicago Evangelistic Institute. They had five children, Sharon, Mary, Dan, Martie and Debbie.

In 1952, the Methodist Church offered Ray an opportunity to continue his education while serving as pastor. He moved his family to Littleton, Ill., to pastor a three-point parish while enrolling at Western Illinois University. Ray received his Bachelor of Science in Education degree and then moved to Armstrong, Ill., to attend Butler University’s Christian Theological Seminary. He served the Armstrong and Ellis Methodist churches while receiving a divinity degree and a Master of Science in radio and television. After his ordination into the Methodist Church, he was appointed to churches in Rantoul, Ill., Waupun and Oshkosh.

In 1964, following his divorce, Ray accepted a position as an English professor at the UW-River Falls. There he met and married Lois Bowman and they raised their son, Jim. While teaching at the university for 18 years, Ray completed his doctoral work in linguistics at the University of Minnesota. After Ray and Lois divorced, Ray retired from the university and was called to be a pastor at Shell Lake and Sarona United Methodist churches.

In 1983, he married Virginia “Sue” Slosser and together they enjoyed 10 years serving the congregations in Shell Lake and Sarona. After retiring from active ministry in 1993, Ray set up a counseling office in Shell Lake and soon was teaching at the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College.

Sunday, December 15, 2013 Third Sunday of Advent ow bad do you want to be good?” he asked.

“H Confused, I asked, “What do you mean?

Being bad to be good doesn’t make sense.”

“This has to do with motivation,” came the reply. “Do you really want to be outstanding or be just like so many others who do things halfheartedly or to just get by in life?”

David was determined to be the man God wanted him to be. He was not content to go about his daily activities without making sure that he was a “man after God’s own heart.” So he asked God to “Test my motives and my heart.”

That must have taken a great amount of real courage - especially after he demanded, “Declare me innocent, O Lord!” Imagine his boldness: “I have acted with integrity ... I have trusted without wavering ... put me on trial and cross-examine me.”

Rarely do we hear of God’s judgment anymore. It is no longer a popular topic. Perhaps we have become so accustomed to God’s blessings that we have forgotten that there will be a day when we will stand before our Savior and give an account to him of every deed - good or bad - that we have ever done. Let us never forget that.

While this took courage for David to ask God to examine him, he had no fear or apprehension. Why? Because he was “aware of God’s unfailing love” that far exceeds his judgment and certain punishment.

What a great example for each of us.

Love Lites shine at IMC

Suzanne Johnson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The year was 1968 when 90 women joined together to create a hospital auxiliary in Shell Lake. It was the year before the old hospital was replaced by the current facility. As time passed, the auxiliary was named Indianhead Community Health Care Inc. The major fundraiser for the organization is the annual Love Lite Tree project.

Lights in white, red and blue are purchased in memory of, in honor of, and also in memory and honor of a military person. Added to the Love Lite Tree this year is a white star at the top of the tree.

The star is in honor of the organization’s charter members.

At a special tree-lighting ceremony during Holiday Saturday, Dec. 6, four charter members were acknowledged: Gina Lewis, Naomi Beardsley, Nan Rounce and Mary Dinnies. A moment of silence was held in remembrance of members that have since passed. In the hospital lobby, Charter members of ICHC were recognized at the Love Lite Tree lighting ceremony. Shown (L to R): Nan Rounce, Gina Lewis, Naomi Beardsley and Mary Dinnies.

where holiday refreshments were served, Shell Lake High School student Ashley Lord presented Christmas music on the saxophone.

President Linda King welcomed those in attendance and acknowledged that the Love Lite Tree project is supported by community members as well as by people that have left the area and continue to donate toward this worthwhile project.

Funds raised are used toward scholarships for students going into the medical field and also for those in the medical field that wish to further their education.

The Love Lite tree is shining this holiday season in front of the Indianhead Medical Center on Fourth Avenue in Shell Lake.

Ashley Lord, a junior at Shell Lake High School, provided Christmas music during the Love Lite ceremony.

RIGHT: The Love Lite Tree, with white lights in memory, red lights in honor and blue lights in honor or in memory of military personnel, will shine during the holiday season in front of the IMC. A white star has been placed on top of the tree to honor the 90 charter members of ICHC.

Spooner wrestlers attend six-team dual

GLENWOOD CITY — On Saturday, Dec. 6, the Spooner wrestling team traveled to Glenwood City for the first wrestling meet of the year. This is a six-team dual tournament.

Spooner is a very young team with only one senior this year. This was a tough way for them to start the season because they had to forfeit five weight classes throughout the entire day due to grades, injuries, and not enough time to get all the wrestlers down to their proper weight class.

“Considering the fact that we gave up five weight classes every dual, I thought that we wrestled really well. I was very impressed with our younger wrestlers,” stated coach Andrew Melton.

The JV wrestlers wrestled well throughout the day and each got four matches.

The results from the day were: Spooner 24, Glenwood City 48; Spooner 30, Somerset 40; Spooner 12, Neillsville 57; Spooner 3, Amery 45; and Spooner 21, Triton, Minn., 49.

AMERY — The NW Icemen varsity hockey team traveled to Amery on Tuesday, Dec. 2, for a midweek nonconference game. The Icemen team is made up of athletes from Spooner and Shell Lake.

The Icemen jumped out to a very quick lead against a much younger Amery team that started five freshmen for the game. By early in the second period, the game was played with running time and the Icemen holding a six-goal lead. From a coaching perspective, it was a very, very difficult game to keep under control. The

difference in skill between the two teams leads to players creating bad habits and neither team really enjoying the night. On the positive side the Icemen once again enjoyed very balanced scoring from all of the lines and multiple defense.

The varsity Icemen will traveled to Stevens Point on Friday, Dec. 5, for their next contest. The JV squad played at home in Cumberland on Thursday, Dec. 4, against Pine City before traveling to River Falls on Saturday, Dec. 7, for an early afternoon game. — with submitted information

Local residents part of medical mission to Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Nov. 11, a group of 18 Wisconsin Lions Missions and Love For Lozandier members from the Shell Lake and Turtle Lake area flew into Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The final destination of Lozandier was an additional four-hour bus ride. Lozandier is a small fishing village on Haiti’s south coast.

There is no electricity or running water, and only two clean water wells.

The purpose of this mission was threefold: The Lions would fit the village people with glasses to help them see, the medical team provided care that many so desperately need and they completed the electrical wiring in the clinic, “which will run off our generator,” stated a team member.

Love For Lozandier is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization. It began work in Lozandier a few years ago by purchasing a parcel of land, and first building a church, which the community very much wanted.

Next they established a school, which currently is housed in part of the church.

Each of the 75 children in the school is sponsored by someone in the United States, many of them from the Shell Lake and Turtle Lake areas. Without this school, few of these children would have the opportunity to receive even the most basic of an education, which includes what could be their only meal for the day.

Every time the group has gone, they have saved at least one life. Here are a couple of examples: In November of 2013, one of the teachers, who was pregnant, collapsed from severe dehydration.

She and her unborn child were literally on death’s doorstep. The medical team was able to jerry-rig an IV system to revive her with adequate IV fluids until she was strong enough to make the 45-minute ride on the back of a motorcycle to the hospital. Not only did this woman survive, she later delivered a healthy baby boy. Had the medical team not been there, she and her child would surely have died.

On this trip in November, the group experienced a miracle. A young boy, who just six months ago was a healthy student at the school, was brought to the clinic. He was literally at death’s door. He was experiencing numerous grand mal seizures

and was weak from the seizures and from the lack of food and hydration. Because of the belief in voodoo, the family felt they were being cursed by the devil and chose not to care for him. He had lost greater than 50 percent of his body weight from six months ago. The medical team was able to get the seizures under control with appropriate medication. The child stayed with the team the remainder of the time, and with medication, food and prayer he improved dramatically. With help from the area pastor, a loving foster home was found for him in the community, teaching was done on how to care for him and appropriate medication was given. He continues to improve. He currently has had no seizures for 17 days. “For those of us here in the U.S., we take for granted the clinic, lab work, modern technology and the pharmacy. This would not have been considered a miracle here, but in a Third World country where clinics are far and few between, this most certainly was a miracle,” explained a team member.

Even if a parent could get to a clinic there would be no way that they could afford to see the doctor, have the tests or pay for medication.

The eyeglass portion of the mission was also life changing for many people.

Trained members of the Wisconsin Lions Missions team saw 296 Haitians and fit many of them with glasses. These were the first glasses these people have ever had. “What joy to see faces light up with big smiles when they realized their world did not have to be blurry anymore,” commented a member of the team. The team could have served more people, but there is always the concern of rioting when the word gets out. Over 200 children were screened, with 5 to 10 percent needing glasses or some other kind of help. This was the first-ever Wisconsin Lions Missions eyeglass mission in Haiti, and it is the hope of Wisconsin Lions Missions that there will be many more.

The electrical team finished the wiring in the clinic, so with the generator they were able to run medical equipment and lab equipment for diagnosing.

These are just a few of the many stories the mission team could share about their experiences. Sadly, corruption is rampant in Haiti, and most of the people still have a very long way to go to recover from the devastation caused by the cruel 2008 hurricane season, and the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck in January of 2010.

Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, so mission work by various groups is often the only lifeline these people have.

The following was posted by a 20-yearold after the November trip: “It is time that I tell you about the time I went to Haiti. Most everyone I met was happy with life. That small little fishing village seemed to be content with life. They made what they had work for them and made it into a way of life. In America, we try to make things better and easier. I feel as if that is not what life is supposed to be. I know I was not put on this Earth to make life easier so we can become lazier. If we lived like those in Lozandier, we would still be happy. I live life with a little piece missing from me. That piece missing is knowing that I am living this lifestyle of always being full and never going thirsty See Mission work, next page

Mission work/from page 19 while people are starving and without clothing. I think that it has always been in the back of people’s mind, we all see those commercials about starving kids and we have all heard the saying ‘there are starving kids in Africa,’ but most people still throw away leftovers and buy things they do not need. Right now, I do not have a logical, real solution to the problem. But recognizing the problem is always the first step, right? Some of you probably could care less about my trip, and that is OK. So go out and experience it for yourself, go to Haiti or Africa or Jamaica, go find your own stories and then tell me all about it. It is something that one needs to encounter for themselves. It was such an eye-opening experience, and I know that people assume that once you get back from a mission trip. But I am truly lucky that I was able to go to Haiti. Haiti helped

me more than I could help Haiti, and for that I am truly blessed.”

All participants in the Wisconsin Lions Missions and Love for Lozandier Missions programs pay their own expenses and volunteer their time and knowledge.

They collect no pay for the work they do other than knowing they have made a significant difference in someone’s life. How can you ever put a price tag on that?

If the holiday spirit moves you this Christmas season to help the people in this small fishing village who have nothing, it would be greatly appreciated.

STATE NEWS • Wisconsin Public Radio

Minnesota officials discuss possibility of high-speed rail in Twin Ports Northern Lights Express would stretch from Twin Cities to Superior Danielle Kaeding | WPR News SUPERIOR - Minnesota transportation officials are in Superior this week to talk about the possibility of high-speed rail coming to the Twin Ports.

The Northern Lights Express would run along existing BNSF Railway track from the Twin Cities to Hinckley, Minn., at which point it would cross the border into Wisconsin and stop in Superior and Duluth.

Superior Planning and Ports Director Jason Serck said that passenger rail could boost the city’s economy.

“Exposing people to Superior and getting them to get out of the train, see Superior, essentially spend money, is something we see as beneficial,” he said.

Serck said the Minnesota Department of Transportation is proposing two possible locations for a station in Superior.

Both locations are zoned commercial or manufacturing. There are a few property owners located at the proposed sites, but no homeowners would be affected by the project.

Serck said they’ve been talking with landowners about the potential for high-

“Surprisingly, most of them are like, ‘Hey, this is great.’ They’re looking to potentially sell,” said Serck. “There’s some opportunities there.”

Serck said they’re examining all options if a station is built.

“We’re going to have to look at our needs and see what do we want to have

at this site, wherever it is. Do we want to provide some retail possibilities? Those types of questions,” he said.

Wisconsin’s Department of Transportation is working with Minnesota as needed on the plan. The project would go through the Office of Commissioner of Railroads if any changes are made to Wisconsin rail crossings. Anna Davey,

northwest regional rail coordinator for Wisconsin DOT, said they’re providing input on timelines for the OCR process and working with MnDOT and the community. She said changes that go through the OCR may take anywhere from six to nine months, depending on the scope of the project.

“This is a MnDOT project, and we’re providing support where needed,” Davey said.

The plan’s project manager Dave Christianson said the Northern Lights Express could carry more than a million riders per year along 155 miles of existing BNSF track. He also said it may cost up to $1 billion to build in the Twin Ports.

“About 30,000 riders a year would probably come out of Superior. It would be up to Douglas County and the city of Superior to develop the station,” he said.

Christianson said they’re looking mostly for federal dollars and seeking congressional support for the project.

In 2009, Minnesota passed a $26 million bonding bill for passenger rail development, which provided $3 million for NLX. MnDOT is set to apply for more state bonding this year.

The proposal is part of Minnesota’s draft statewide rail plan.

Students march to decry attack on Hmong hunter “Given the size of Pepin County are you willing to recuse yourself from this? We don’t trust you. It’s taken this long, how can we trust you?” he said.

Kevin J. Elberg was charged this week with felony battery and false imprisonment. He told police he felt threatened because Vang’s gun was pointed in his direction. His first court appearance is Dec. 15.

Rich Kremer | WPR News DURAND - Around 75 Hmong students from across Wisconsin demonstrated in the city of Durand in Pepin County on Friday, Dec. 5, to raise awareness of what they call a racially motivated attack against an elderly Hmong hunter.

The students marched through the city to the district attorney’s office and the sheriff’s department, protesting the assault of 64-year-old Sao Lue Vang, who suffered life-threatening injuries during an altercation with a white hunter last month.

Tou Ger Bennet Xiong spoke during the rally. He said they’re upset charges weren’t filed until a month after the assault. He also said they’d like the trial moved.

U.S. Public Interest Research Group releases annual list of hazardous toys

Trouble In Toyland report includes products that have lead or are choking hazards

“We found these toys everywhere — at dollar stores, but also big-name stores like Walmart and Target and Toys ‘R’ Us. Also at online retailers like Amazon.com,” said Peter Skopec of the Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group.

Recently, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission banned small, powerful magnets that some children were swallowing.

Consumers can see which products have been recalled by going to this CPSC website. Shoppers can find acceptable toys to give to children at the U.S. PIRG Education Fund website.

Shamane Mills | WPR News NATIONWIDE - The U.S. Public Interest Research Group has released its annual list of toys shoppers should avoid buying.

The playthings listed in the 29th-annual Trouble in Toyland report have one thing in common: All were found to be potentially hazardous to children through laboratory testing. Some toys contained lead or plasticsoftening chemicals called phthalates, while others were loud or presented a choking hazard.

Number of deer donated to food pantries is at all-time low this season State-run program has seen 40 percent dip in donations Rich Kremer | WPR News STATEWIDE - Wisconsin’s deer donation program is seeing its lowest hunter participation since the program began in 2000, with donations down 40 percent compared to last year.

Only 1,300 deer have been turned in to processors for the Department of Natural Resource’s Deer Donation Program, which ships surplus venison to state food pantries — by far the lowest number the program has even seen. DNR wildlife damage biologist Dan Hirchert said it’s not very surprising, given last year’s severe winter and big changes to the structure of the state’s gun deer hunt.

“We had parts of 19 counties that were buck-only,” he said. “So, in those areas there certainly isn’t going to be a surplus of deer, especially a surplus of harvested deer.”

Hirchert said they’re still accepting deer donations through Feb. 1, though they receive the majority of deer during and just after the nine-day gun deer hunt.

The best year for the program was 2006, when nearly 12,000 deer were donated.

Bikers association will place thousands of wreaths on graves of veterans

American Legion Riders Association will place 3,500 wreaths on graves at Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery

Glen Moberg | WPR News KING - An American Legion motorcycle club will be placing thousands of wreaths on the graves of veterans

in central Wisconsin this holiday season, as part of a drive connected to the national Wreaths Across America campaign.

More than 3,500 wreaths will be placed on graves at the Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in King on Dec. 13, the day of a national wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington Cemetery.

Ray McSherry, president of the local chapter of the American Legion Riders Association of Wisconsin, said the group is working toward an even bigger goal for next

year.

“There are approximately 6,500 burial sites at King Cemetery, and our goal is to make sure that there’s a wreath on every grave site. And we do this to honor and remember our veterans. We don’t want to forget them,” said McSherry.

The American Legion Riders chapter works all year raising funds for the Dec. 13 event in King, which includes a memorial service and a 21-gun salute.

“Ice volcanoes” are popping up on the shores of the Great Lakes The fleeting winter spectacles are formed when strong waves splash between cracks in ice Patty Murray | WPR News DOOR COUNTY, Wis. - Wisconsin isn’t known for volcanoes, but they’re nevertheless appearing along the shores of the Great Lakes.

Every year, a combination of heavy waves and ice creates “ice volcanoes.”

When strong waves splash up between ice shoves, or cracks in the ice near shore, the resulting spouts create volcano-like cones.

Even longtime residents of Wisconsin haven’t heard of ice volcanoes. But according to Carolyn Rock, a natu-

ralist at Whitefish Dunes State Park in Door County, once they witness them they’re often captivated.

“Those that’ve been here and have seen them come back and are looking for them,” said Rock.

She added: “It’s not like the ice caves on the Apostle Islands — it’s not that way yet.”

The volcanoes or, “blowholes,” are early this year because of the November cold snap. Rock said they’re an ephemeral phenomenon.

“They can appear in a day and they can disappear in a day,” said Rock.

Rock invites people to look at the volcanoes from a distance. She cautions them not to get too close because of the risk of falling through the ice.

TIMES

Shell Lake FFA members attend national convention LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Twenty-two Shell Lake FFA members attended the National FFA Convention recently with over 62,000 FFA members and advisers present. It was a great opportunity for students to learn about FFA opportunities and growth as well as identifying career options.

This four-day trip was jam-packed with tours, sessions and entertainment. The two main motivational speakers were Nick Vujicic and Jeff Simmons, who spoke about going all out. Simmons is the president of Elanco. In addition, there were two motivational retiring addresses given by national FFA officers that were very inspiring.

A tour started out at Fair Oaks Farms. Fair Oaks Farms brings reduce, reuse, recycle to a whole new light. The entire facility runs on cow and pig manure. They transform their farms’ waste into energy by way of anaerobic digesters, reducing their dependency upon natural gas and electricity during the milk and

manufacturing process. The group then went to the famous Churchill Downs, which hosts the Kentucky Derby. They took an hour tour behind the scenes to learn about horse training and history of the facility. The museum also contained a number of exhibits exploring the training and racing of thoroughbred horses. It includes a 360-degree cinema that shows a short film, “The Greatest Race,” a documentary about the Kentucky Derby.

For entertainment students attended the World’s Toughest Rodeo and a Scotty McCreery concert. For some of the students it was their first rodeo and concert experience.

“We had a great trip and students were provided a well-rounded experience to help motivate them to be premier leaders, attain personal growth, and have career success,” stated a member of FFA. — from Shell Lake FFA Shell Lake FFA adviser and members enjoyed listening to the motivational speakers and retiring addresses at the National FFA Convention held in Louisville, Ky. While at the sessions, members were able to listen to Nick Vujicic, a motivational speaker, and Jeff Simmons who spoke about going all out. He is the president of Elanco. Shown (L to R): Austin Schultz, Jenifer Bos and Cody McTaggart.

Three of Shell Lake’s junior high officers rode the mechanical horses at Churchill Downs. The entire group participated in a behind-the-scenes tour of Churchill Downs and toured their famous museum. After the tour the group had the opportunity to watch horse races on the track on which the Kentucky Derby is held.
