Potential district maps of Washburn County under review Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Four preliminary maps for how the future 15 Washburn County supervisory districts could look have been created and are being reviewed.

The ad hoc committee overseeing the redistricting of Washburn County from 21 to 15 supervisory districts met Wednesday, Dec. 10, to review those maps. Lolita Olson, Washburn County clerk, and Nathan Nelson, Washburn County GIS technician, have been doing the screen time creating those preliminary maps.

“The eastern part of the county is really the only part we could mess around with and try different things,” said Nelson to committee members. A 2005 state law gives counties the authority to reduce the size of their boards of supervisors once between regular decennial redistricting. Last November, the Washburn County Board voted 14 to 7 to reduce the board from 21 district supervisors to 15. Since then the redistricting ad hoc committee has meet three times and includes Thomas Mackie, District 5 and chair, David Masterjohn, District 12, Romaine Quinn, District 15 and vice chair, Lolita Olson, Washburn County clerk, and Nathan Nelson,

Washburn County GIS technician, as committee members.

“We have to stay within the wards, and usually one township is one ward. We can’t break up a ward to add or delete people from one or another,” said Olson, explaining the limitations to the number of possible maps they could create. The county board must follow several other guidelines in creating new supervisory districts. The new districts must be near equal in population following data from the most recent census. Following 2010 census data, the target population for the future 15 districts is 1,060 people, but deviation on either side of this number is passable.

“Obviously there’s going to be six supervisors that are going to be out, and they may have to run against one another, there is just no way around it,” said Olson. In order to simplify the adoption of a staggered-term system among supervisors, the county board has the authority to change the expiration date of members terms to an earlier date.

Of the four plans, the committee voted unani-

Washburn County three-year deer herd population goal determined Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — The Washburn County Deer Advisory Council voted to increase the county deer herd population over the next three years at the council’s public meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Over 50 individuals packed into the meeting hall at the University of Wisconsin - Spooner Agricultural Research Station to provide their comments and find out if the county’s deer herd population goal would increase, decrease or stay the same. All members of the council were present including Joe Weiss, Wisconsin Conservation Congress and chair; Tom Perlick, agriculture; Carmen Olson, urban; Joe Fitzgerald, tourism; Bob Reiter, hunting clubs; Mike Richter, transportation; and Mike Peterson, forestry.

Council members heard comments submitted in writing, through online survey or given in person at the meeting. About 15 individuals stood and spoke about their thoughts on the county’s deer herd that night. Factors into the council’s decision included taking council member Perlick’s reports of crop damage into account alongside the economic activity deer hunting brings to the county, the disparity of the county’s habitat, CWD in the county, and the effects of the harsh spring and winter seasons on the herd.

“Never in 40 years have we seen a lack

by Danielle H. Moe of people in the woods,” said Jim Amundson, who hunts with a group near Stone Lake. Amundson said a logging road that is usually like a highway during the nine-day rifle hunt didn’t have a set of tire tracks on it in a week this year. He attributed the lack of hunters to the reports of

the deer herd being low this year and the bucks-only hunt.

“This year we were down in excess of 50 percent of our DNR sales,” said Richard Anderson who runs AAA Sports Shop near Spooner. Council member Olson, who works at the Holiday Stationstore

in Spooner, stated that their DNR sales were down 20 to 30 percent from last year. “Not having the numbers of deer up here does make an impact on the tourism on our part of the country here,” said Anderson.

Jim Mlsna, meeting attendee, asked those present who wanted to see the deer herd increase to raise their hand and the majority of those audience members raised their hands. Of those that spoke four directly stated that they wanted the county’s deer herd population to increase.

Four council members voted to increase the county deer herd. They were Reiter, Olson, Fitzgerald and Richter. Peterson and Perlick voted to maintain the deer herd population.

Nancy Christel, DNR wildlife biologist, explained that the council’s decision to increase the county deer herd over the next three years would be reviewed by DNR administration and then the unaltered recommendation would be submitted to the Natural Resources Board as a recommendation. After that the NRB would approve the recommendation and the population objectives would be implemented for the next three years starting in 2015.

Green light for proposed STEM class; new superintendent search begins Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake School Board gave their support for a potential new class, discussed a potential district policy and started the process to find a new superintendent during the board’s regular monthly meeting held Monday, Dec. 15.

Bob Forsythe, technical education teacher, and Darin Pollei, high school math and science teacher, spoke to the board about their desire to team teach a new class centered around STEM, design, production and communication education.

“Essentially what we want is to create not just a class but an environment for students. We don’t want to just teach science, technology, engineering and math skills - we want them to embrace it, we want to get them to believe in it and what it can do,” said Pollei. The pair came before the board to appeal for a green light from the board to move forward with the

class.

Forsythe and Pollei explained that they would like the class to take place over an entire school year, be two periods long, account for two credits and accommodate 15 to 20 students. The pair stated that besides budget, the biggest stumbling block would be scheduling time for the two-hour class. Don Peterson, high school principal, said that despite time constraints, it was nothing that would be impossible to accommodate.

“Conceptually I support it 100 percent, the enthusiasm excites me, I can tell it’s sincere and they are fired up,” said Jim Connell, superintendent. After further discussion, the board approved a motion to direct administration to pursue the proposal on the STEM class for the 2015-2016 school year.

Policy The potential district policy titled Interview of students by outside agency

stems from an incident that occurred in November that involved a student being interviewed by a law enforcement officer but neither parent was notified previous to the interview. The second draft, unchanged from the first reading, addresses the steps district staff take in the event a student would be interviewed by individuals from an outside agency.

“Remember what this says is what we (the district) have done for the past 50 years,” said Connell. State law does not require law enforcement to notify parents previous to interactions with children. Jeri Bitney, board president, stated that state law also dictates school district staff cannot prevent police from speaking with students. The policy does state guardians will be contacted after an interview and that the principal or other staff member will be present during the interview if the reason for the interview occurred under the district’s authority.

Board members discussed an amend-

ment to the policy to include language to provide a time that staff should attempt to contact parents after an interview has occurred. The policy was sent back to the policy committee for further review.

Superintendent The board began the process to find the district’s new superintendent in the course of the meeting since Connell, current superintendent, announced his resignation in November. It was determined by consensus that the Wisconsin Association of School Boards would be contacted to assist the board in finding the next superintendent. It was also determined that the agenda item would be discussed in executive session in the board’s January meeting in order to discuss potential candidates that have voiced their interest to board member Stu Olson already

Spooner family injured in one-vehicle rollover in southern Minnesota ALBERT LEA, Minn. — A Spooner family suffered non-life-threatening injuries after their sport-utility vehicle rolled over on an icy portion of I-35 near Albert Lea, Minn.

Just after 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11, Curtis Pearson, 23, Spooner, was driving

a 2000 Ford Explorer northbound on I-35, near the intersection of Hwy. 65, when he lost control of the vehicle on the icy roadway. The Explorer then traveled into the median and rolled.

Pearson’s wife, Jessica Pearson, 24, Spooner; mother, Teresa Pearson, 52,

Spooner; and relative John Nesbitt, 54, city unknown; were taken by ambulance to Mayo Health System in Albert Lea for treatment of their injuries. Curtis Pearson’s injuries were treated at the accident scene.

The Minnesota State Patrol report states

that Pearson was wearing his seat belt at the time of the accident but none of the passengers were. The Explorer was totaled as a result of the accident. — with information from the Albert Lea Tribune

explained that the largest constraint on how the 15 districts could look was maintaining existing ward boundaries.

“I’d like to take this (the maps) and show it to some of the other supervisors and see what they have to say,” said Mackie. Once the committee selects the final map, a public hearing will be held

for residents to review and submit their comments on it. Each municipality in the county will also receive a map and have an opportunity to give the county their recommendations. Then a second map, created in case of potential changes from the first public comment period, will be drawn up and will also have a public

hearing.

The final plan must be adopted on or before November 2015 because nomination papers are released on Dec. 1, 2015, for potential candidates in the spring 2016 election. The county clerk must then file the new plan with the secretary of state.

Natural Resources Board approves revision to state’s invasive species rule

MADISON — The Natural Resources Board voted to approve revisions to the state’s invasive species rule at their Wednesday, Dec. 10, meeting in Madison.

Known as NR 40, revisions include the listing of additional species and delisting of currently regulated species under the state’s Invasive Species Identification, Classification and Control rule of the Wisconsin Admin Code.

“This proposal results from several years of work with stakeholders to develop an approach based on sound sci-

ence and common sense that meets the department’s charge from the Legislature to address invasive species,” says Dreux Watermolen, social science services section chief.

One revision includes changing the status of the emerald ash borer from prohibited to restricted. Currently, the beetle responsible for the destruction of tens of thousands of ash trees in Wisconsin is classified as a prohibited species. Under the rule, prohibited species are those not widespread in the state and whose spread

can be prevented or limited to certain areas using eradication methods. Since the first discovery of EAB in Wisconsin in 2008, and its listing as a prohibited species in 2009, it has spread to 19 counties, prompting a proposal to change the EAB regulatory status to restricted.

Restricted species are those already found in the state and may be more widespread. Eradication is improbable but the spread can still be managed. Measures to manage the spread of EAB will still be used, such as Department of Agriculture,

Trade and Consumer Protection quarantines and DNR firewood transportation restrictions. Under the new revisions to NR 40, possession is legal and control is not required for restricted species.

A list of the new invasive species rule changes and literature reviews are available by going to the DNR website, dnr. wi.gov, and searching keyword NR 40.

Area news at a glance ASHLAND – A declining lake trout population in the Apostle Islands region of Lake Superior has prompted the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board to adopt an emergency rule reducing the 2014-15 harvests at its December meeting. Population assessments over the last six to eight years indicate the decline is tied to harvest levels. In addition to the board’s adoption of the emergency rule, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is seeking public input to identify Lake Superior fisheries priorities and challenges to help guide long-term management of the fishery and increase awareness of the resource. “We recommended the emergency rule to ensure the long-term sustainability of the fishery as well as the welfare of the state-licensed commercial fishers, Chippewa commercial fishers, recreational anglers and associated businesses that depend on lake trout,” said Terry Margenau, DNR Lake Superior fisheries supervisor. “Lake trout are a slow-growing species and harvest reductions are needed to allow some recovery.” The 2014-15 emergency rule reduces the daily bag limit from three lake trout to two lake trout, one 20 to 25 inches in length and one longer than 35 inches. For

waters west of Bark Point, regulations for lake trout remain unchanged: three lake trout with a 15-inch minimum length and only one lake trout longer than 25 inches.

The recreational lake trout open season runs from Dec. 1, 2014, through Sept.

30, 2015. The commercial fishing season is open Nov. 28, 2014, through Sept. 30, 2015. The goal of the new regulations is to reduce the overall harvest to 50,000 fish, which is still higher than the targets set in other lake trout management units. In addition to the emergency rule, DNR held a stakeholder meeting in Ashland on Dec. 1 and is continuing to gather comments regarding future management options and priorities for the fishery through the end of December. Citizens may provide feedback by mailing Terry L. Margenau, Lake Superior fisheries supervisor, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 589, 141 S. Third St., Bayfield, WI 54814; or emailing terry.margenau@wisconsin.gov. For more information about the recent public meeting, search the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov and search for Lake Superior fisheries management meeting.

••• STILLWATER, Minn. – Former Grantsburg High School teacher Matt Koenen, 37, Stillwater, Minn., will serve 115 days in prison with 15 years of supervised probation with multiple conditions after his sentencing in Washington County, Minn.

Koenen, who publicly apologized to his victims at the sentencing, had agreed to a plea bargain in September, avoiding a trial on dual felony charges of criminal sexual conduct – from a person in a position of authority. Koenen was first charged in late November 2013 with two felony counts of third-degree sexual conduct by a person in authority, in Minnesota, because the assaults occurred at his Stillwater home. According to the criminals complaint, the charges emerged after an investigation into Koenen’s behavior with “several female students, as young as 16 years old, with whom he developed close, often romantic relationships,” including communications with the students on several different cell phones that Koenen hid from his spouse and others, including other victims. — from the InterCounty Leader •••

feel floppy) and are held for long periods of time (up to 10 minutes). Virtually all postures take place on the floor and can use props such as blankets or blocks to remain supported and comfortable for the lengthy holds, which allows you to just relax.

Level 1 Yoga: Tuesday, 4:45-5:45 p.m.

Session 1: Jan. 6 - Feb. 10. Session 2: Feb. 24 - March 31. This is an alignment oriented style of yoga that gives you time to observe the details of each posture and balance your effort with ease. You’ll receive clear instruction on what you’re doing, why, and how to modify your postures so you can remain safe, comfortable and make the most of your efforts – your

practice should meet you where you are, not the other way around! You’ll learn the importance of a strong foundation and how to access your deep core line and use that to keep your spine and body well supported both on the mat and off.

Yin & Yang Yoga: Wednesdays, 9-10 a.m. Session 1: Jan. 7 - Feb. 11. Session 2: Feb. 25 - April 1. Session 3: April 15 May 20. This class will blend movement (yang) and stillness (yin) to give you the best of both worlds. Start with active standing postures to build strength and body awareness – proper alignment will be stressed here to keep your efforts comfortable and efficient. The second half of this class will focus on seated and reclined postures that let gravity do the work so you can move your awareness inward to release stress and tension in the body and mind. — from SLCE

Operation Christmas Child boxes are on their way

SIREN — During the third week in November, close to 1,700 boxes were collected and shipped out from the Northwestern Wisconsin area as part of Operation Christmas Child.

The Siren Covenant Church drop-off site collected 1,138 boxes, and the Cornerstone Christian Church in Spooner collected 536 boxes, with more boxes from this area being sent to other collection sites. Gratitude is extended to the 38 churches and private organizations that donated to the two collection sites this year. These donations came from churches and organizations throughout Burnett, Polk, Washburn and Barron counties. Jeff Howe, from Howe Construction, donated the use of his trailer at the Siren site to haul the cartons to Cambridge Relay Center. Dayton Daniels from Siren Plumbing and Heating donated time to load, unload and drive the truck.

The boxes from this area will be distributed to Tanzania, Uganda, India, Belize, Trinidad, Ecuador and Tobago this year.

By going to the Samaritan’s Purse website, samaritanspurse.org/occ, you can “follow your box” if you printed the barcode label and taped it to the top of your box. You will receive an email telling you which country your box was sent to. Each year children are given the opportunity to learn about Jesus through this gift and their lives and often their families are changed forever by this message of love.

On Tuesday, Dec. 9, a group of 20 volunteers and friends of Siren Covenant, Siren Methodist, Atlas Methodist, Trade River Evangelical Free and Spooner Wesleyan churches went to a processing center in Minneapolis to help with the final steps in the shipping process. The goal is to send out 800,000 boxes from the Midwest region this year. Volunteers checked the boxes for items that would not withstand shipping or be inappropriate for the child receiving it. They were treated to music from well-known worship musicians, testimonies from those delivering boxes in Africa and a welcome greeting from Dr. Franklin Graham, the founder of Samaritan’s Purse ministries, who came in person to thank and encourage the many volunteers who help each year with this ministry. They also learned how much prayer surrounds these boxes in their journey to each child that receives them.

Each year a growing interest for this ministry is seen in this area by the community response from the churches and organizations. With Samaritan’s Purse’s encouragement and training for team leaders from this area, they have become a part of a bigger mission where individuals can personally touch the lives of children with the love of Jesus with their gift and prayers for the child who receives it.

— from Northwestern Wisconsin Operation Christmas Child

Sandy and Byron Wickman, Siren, helped with the collecting and shipping of 1,138 boxes from Siren Covenant Church. Helping to get the boxes transported to Minneapolis were a trailer from Howe Construction with Dayton Daniels as the driver. – Photos submitted

Pandy Hedlund, relay center coordinator at Cornerstone Christian Church, Spooner, collected and transported 536 boxes to the Rice Lake Processing Center.

Women and girls from Spooner Wesleyan Church sewed doll dresses to match the dresses for girls receiving an Operation Christmas Child shoe box. Between 50 and 60 dolls are placed in shoe boxes each year.

The lights of Christmas

T

elevision stations are airing holiday-themed shows. Festive sets are the backdrops of musical concerts.

City streets are ablaze with color and brightly lit snowflakes.

Have you ever wondered why decorating with lights came to be a special part of the Christmas season?

According to the book “The Top 40 Traditions of Christmas,” church services were illuminated by daylight or candlelight before the coming of electricity. In some cases families would bring their own candles or lamps to help light the service. Many of our modern Christmas lights are shaped like candles.

In 1895, during Grover Cleveland’s term as the 24th president of the United States, he switched on the first electrically lit Christmas tree at the White House.

I enjoy viewing Christmas displays.

When Milt suggested we motor to Duluth to check out Bentleyville, I was ready to go. Since that particular Saturday promised mild winter weather, we dropped our plans to do tasks around the house, called friends Dwight and Ruth to see if they could join us and the four of us headed to Bayfront Festival Park to tour Bentleyville.

Starting in 2001 with the decorating of his home in Esko, Minn., Nathan Bent-

ley continued to add more lights to create a large holiday light display. Being known as the “House with all the lights in Esko,” a friend sarcastically started to call it Bentleyville. After the Bentleys relocated to rural Cloquet, Minn., people were enticed to travel there and visit Nathan’s expanding Bentleyville. With concern over the amount of traffic in the area, Bentleyville needed to re-evaluate.

In November of 2009, Bentleyville’s Tour of Lights turned on its millions of lights at Bayfront Park in Duluth. In 2012, Bentleyville announced it has an agreement with the city of Duluth to continue until 2015.

Bentleyville claims to be America’s largest free walk-through lighting display. Visitors are invited to come to the Cookie House for free hot chocolate and cookies. Santa and Mrs. Claus are available to hear requests from the children.

Guests can warm

themselves near the campfires along the pathway.

I enjoyed the festivities of walking among the bright lights, listening to Christmas music and sharing with friends a nice evening along the harbor of Lake Superior. What impressed me the most about Bentleyville was seeing lots of families enjoying Milt Johnson and Dwight Anderson visit with Prancer. — Photo by their time with each Suzanne Johnson other. Everyone appeared to be in people posing for a photo, I enjoyed a good mood. When seeing a group of asking if they Enjoying the lights of wanted me to take Christmas at Bentleyville the photo so that are (L to R): Milt and Su- everyone could be zanne Johnson along with in the shot. Sometheir friends, Ruth and one even returned Dwight Anderson. — Photo the favor so we submitted were able to have a photo of the four of us enjoying the lights of Christmas.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner The Christmas tree fantasy Mary B. Olsen o, trees are real. Neither is this a debate concerning the naturalgrown tree versus the manufactured imitation tree. Many of us have found the imitation tree acceptable for holiday decor. No, trees are trees, and it does not matter which kind of tree is chosen to celebrate the Christmas spirit. This is an imagined ideal tree I have in my mind.

The perfect tree.

My fantasy tree stands 6 feet tall and nearly touches the ceiling. Its branches are entwined with brightly twinkling tiny, glittering lights. Some are bits of startling white light and others are red and blue and gold, giving the pyramid shape of the tree a rainbow aura. Adding to the green branches are dangling ornaments, globes of glass mirroring the lights with added vibrant hues, blue and silver, like stars shining in the night sky.

There has not yet been added tinsel because of my cats that might try to taste it.

I must add the cute little blue birds and red birds that are to be clipped on some of the branches, and there is no star or angel gracing the very top of the tree.

This is my perfect fantasy tree, the tree of dreams. I am filled with delight at my creation. I stand before it in awe. I have made my world a better place with

N

this beautiful tree. Holding the angel and prepared to apply the finishing touches, I ascend the three-step ladder with care. I notice a quivering that seems to come over the tree. We do not live where tremors beneath the ground occur.

There is a definite series of tremors. With trepidation, I climb down. Suddenly the beautiful tree begins to tilt. A white cat scrambles from beneath the tree into its center and a tiger cat follows, lightning swift. I do not know why they have tried to climb the tree, perhaps chasing each other. The whole tree shudders from the disruption, listing, teetering, and then it crashes to the floor. There is no sound but the clink of dozens of broken ornaments. When a tree falls in my living room one can barely hear it. I stand aghast. The surprised cats wrestle themselves out from under the branches and flee.

This kind of disappointment is part of my life experience. I grew up in a home where the Christmas tree fell over a couple of times. Over the years, I have seen trees fall in different living rooms where we lived almost every holiday season.

Sometimes it is a faulty stand that can be blamed. Many times it has been pets, a kitten or puppy, or one of my children that has brought the tree crashing down.

Sometimes I have actually caught the tree as it was falling over. That could

have been dangerous. Best to let it fall.

Being obstinate, I do not give up on having a tree. I gather up the broken pieces and sweep them into the dustpan. I right the tree and repair the damage, and with a lot more energy expended, my tree is soon ready once again for the final touches.

This is like a little slap on the wrist to remind me that I will not find perfection in most things. I remember a day long ago with my family when we were iceskating. It was on the frozen backwater of the river, and I found myself showing off – look how nice I can glide on the smooth ice. I hit a patch of rough ice. It was quick as a wink that I found myself with both my skates up in the air and my bottom on the ice. I was spanked by the ice. I don’t think the others laughed, very much, but I didn’t think it was a bit funny at the time. Life is like that.

There are some traditional songs of Christmas about trees. It is people decorating them and dancing around them.

My favorite is the song from the old German folk song, “O Christmas Tree,” or “O Tannenbaum” in German.

When I was a little girl we learned the words to this song one Christmas, in English and in German, because my aunt wanted us to sing it together on Christmas Day. It was a short version.

That stayed in my memory. So, years later, I was at the school my children attended in the office for some reason, and

while I waited the music teacher came in and asked the principal at her desk if she knew the lyrics to the song “O Christmas Tree” in German. He wanted to have the kids sing it in the Christmas program.

She didn’t know the words. I suppose he thought she had a German name and would know the words. He went down the hall asking people if they knew the words. I sat there knowing the words, but I said nothing. I was only a parent.

Everybody liked the program, but they sang it in English. I don’t remember the words now, but I can go to the Internet and find them.

The song “O Christmas Tree” was based on a 16th century folk song and modified later, in 1824, by Ernst Anschutz. The song at first was about an alpine silver fir. The tree was faithful, exhibiting its lovely green branches both in summer and in winter, as opposed to a lover, who was unfaithful. The green needles were true (Treu), and this word was later changed to green (grun).

In the song, the tree delights us. It gives us pleasure, and is forever true.

One version of the song includes the words, “You fill my heart with music.”

I enjoy hearing it and so many hymns, carols and more modern songs. Green is good, but I want all my Christmases to be white. Merry Christmas.

Family Choices Night at Spooner Middle School SPOONER — Spooner Elementary and Middle schools are recipients of a 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant. This grant allows them to offer academic enrichment and What I Need clubs to elementary and middle school students. In addition, they are commissioned to offer a series of family educational events throughout the school year.

Family Choices Night will be Thursday, Dec. 18, from 3:45-5:30 p.m., at the Spooner Middle School. The content of this evening is for families with students in fourth through eighth grade.

The eighth-grade health classes have worked through sixth-grade CounterAct and seventh-grade Amazing Alternatives curriculum and now are advocates for drug and alcohol prevention. They are working hard at preparing displays and activities to educate families about

the negative effects of drugs and alcohol along with positive alternatives.

Families are invited to join the students and community organizations to be part of Family Choices Night. The evening includes displays about drugs, alcohol and peer pressure, and activities like Minute to Win It, Twister, a puppet show and Wheel of Misfortune. Additionally, families can play games that work on math skills, like cribbage or dominoes. Visit several of the stations to enter to win positive choice prizes.

This family event is sponsored by Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse, Spooner Area Schools and the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, and in partnership with the Spooner Area Police Department and the Washburn County Sherriff’s Office. — from SASD

ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK As Christmas nears, we tend to think, about the ones we love, The ones we see and talk with, and the ones at peace above.

Things in the past we cannot change, we only can move on, And missing pets is just the same, so hard once they are gone.

Just as we loved all our past pets, there are so many more, And knowing you have love to share, can’t simply be ignored.

What better time to open up your home and mend your heart, By bringing home a homeless pet, the perfect place to start.

Frederick J. Knapp Frederick Joseph Knapp of New York City and East Hampton, beloved husband of Penny Leka Knapp, passed away on Nov. 13, 2014.

Son of the late Frederick D. and Helen Haremza Knapp, he was born in Superior and raised in Shell Lake.

Fred graduated from Shell Lake High School and among his talents sang baritone in the much-loved Shell Lake Barbershop Quartet founded by the popular music teacher, Harriet Swan. Besides many state appearances, they entered and won top act as a teenage vocal quartet on Cedric Adams’ “Stairway to the Stars” in Minneapolis. Working his way through the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Fred was a popular young man whose talents led him to be voted Ice King in the school’s big winter festival, president of his fraternity, Kappa Sigma and chosen for the college’s outstanding musical performing group, Haresfoot. He also sang in the university’s top male quartet.

Following his service in the Army, Fred took a job in a Sears and Roebuck management-training program in Eau Claire. This position took him to Chicago, where five years later, with his singing and narrating talents calling, he left Sears to pursue a new career. He performed seven leading roles for the Chicago Theater Guild, appeared in numerous TV and film commercials, plus acting in over 50 industrial shows as emcee-narrator for big companies like Buick, Oldsmobile and Ford. He introduced the first Mustang for Iacocca and Honda’s first car in America. Fred also appeared in Chicago’s summer stock

theater with Vivian Blaine, Van Johnson and Peggy Cass respectively. He also sang many club dates with the trio, The Lorri London Londonaires.

Moving to New York City, he continued his growing success in these areas. Penny Knapp came into his life and became his bride on Dec. 18, 1965. About the same time, Ford executives asked him if he could coach their executives to speak as he did. Frederick Knapp Associates was founded on Madison Avenue and Execu-Speak became a hot item with the Fortunate 500 companies. Fred and his professional violinist wife, Penny, entertained on cruise ships whenever business was slow. Since they were both skilled in presenting themselves, they became business partners.

Execu-Image, Execu-Style and Execu-Meet were added to the programs they offered and FKA specialized programs for over 64,500 executives and managers.

The White House sought Fred’s counsel on several occasions. Regular clients included American Express, Deere and Company, Bacardi, Pfizer, M&M Mars, Nabisco, RJR, Philip Morris and many others. Fred coached 31 CEOs and top corporate officers, diplomats and managers from 29 companies. Penny and Fred traveled extensively, conducting seminars in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean islands. After some 38 years, they retired in East Hampton. He is also survived by the families of his late brother and sister.

Y

ogi Berra once said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” That seems to sum up the journey before all of us in one way or another. We are constantly faced with making a decision about which way we are to go when we come to the forks in life’s road.

Each morning when we begin the day’s journey, there is no assurance that what we intend to do will happen exactly as planned. Interruptions come from every side, and what may have been peaceful and calm ends up being frantic and out of control. So, we are confronted with two ever-present options: chose to have faith in God or be fearful of what is in us, in front of or around us. We are faced with the only two choices life has to offer: faith or fear. So, what does faith in God have to offer us?

In Psalm 27 David describes his Lord as his light, salvation and fortress. As his light, David knew that God would reveal his plan for him and dispel the darkness that might come over him. He also believed that God was, when he was writing this Psalm, his salvation. This meant that God would deliver him from anything that would harm him or rescue him when things went badly. Not only at death, but as life unfolded before him. He also believed that the Lord was his strength, or stronghold, a place where he could take refuge and restore his soul when he was overwhelmed with life’s demands.

No wonder he proclaimed: “Why fear anything?”

The match went into overtime when it was 5-5 after three rounds. Both wrestlers were undefeated until the last seven seconds when Skidmore earned two points for a takedown. Roundwind, being the champion that he is, congratulated his opponent at the end of the match.

CUMBERLAND/SPOONER — The Northwest Icemen hockey team played two games last week. Tuesday, Dec. 9, the team traveled to Hayward, taking a 6-2 loss. The second game, held Thursday, Dec. 11, in Cumberland was the first home game of the year. The Icemen won this matchup against the Altoona Railroaders 8-0.

During the midweek road game in Hayward, the contest was interrupted by a host of penalties that wouldn’t allow the game to get into any kind of flow for either team. The coaches expressed the view that it seemed like the referees were trying to penalize the high school players attempt to create a different style of game. The problem seemed to be an inconsistency of the calls, which confuses the skaters from night to night.

“The referees were certainly not responsible for the Icemen loss. They simply did not show up prepared to win a hockey

game. Most of the night the effort was there but mentally they made too many mistakes to even win ugly. The Icemen goal is to be prepared as a team for the playoff run in February. We need to keep improving every game and practice to find that success,” stated head coach Phil Sykes.

The Icemen played their first home game at Cumberland on Thursday night, Dec. 11, against a winless Altoona squad. The Icemen jumped out to an early first-period lead and never looked back. By early in the second period, the Icemen faced running time with a six-goal lead. The game ended with JT Gunderson recording his first shutout game of the season. “As a team we did a lot of good things and it was nice to be rewarded with the home victory,” commented the coach. The game was well attended and the Icemen send their gratitude to those that came out and supported the team.

The next Icemen varsity game is at home in Barron on Thursday, Dec. 18, at 7 p.m. — from the Icemen

Sarona

by Marian Furchtenicht It has sure been mild and really foggy. Our snow is almost gone. The calendars say winter begins this week, Sunday, Dec. 21. It seems we are having our January thaw.

Christmas is in the air. Cards and emails have been arriving and colored lights are everywhere. It is a busy time with shopping, wrapping, writing, baking and parties to attend. The season is of love and family get-togethers.

Our dear Dort Lombard passed away at St. Benedictine Living Center in Spooner, Thursday, Dec. 11, with all her children here with her the past week, Dorine, Francine and Ted from Alaska, Mary from Oregon, Tony and Andy from Colorado, Linda from Superior, Susan and Ben from Menomonie and Willie from Sarona. Dort was a very special person, very family oriented, loving, thoughtful, a worker, and great wife, mother, grandma, sister, neighbor and friend to all. Many will dearly miss her. Her funeral was Monday at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Spooner. Sympathy to her family.

Gloria Frey reports her mom is perking along at almost 102. She visits her often at the convalescent center in Rice Lake. Julie Rayham visited Gloria on Saturday afternoon.

Renee and Marilyn Zimmerman attended a birthday party for Maddison Dahlstrom, who had turned 3 in November. She is the daughter of Keith and Lesa Dahlstrom. The party was held at their home in Shell Lake on Friday. Belated wishes, little one.

Cindy Furchtenicht and son Casey, who is home on Christmas break from college, visited her dad, Paul Jachim, at Brentwood Assisted Living Center in Rice Lake on Friday.

I joined Marian Reiter on Sunday at the Erika Quam

Dewey Country

Theatre to watch the comedy, “Those Crazy Ladies in the House on the Corner,” which was very good. Marion’s husband’s niece, Terri Reiter, played the part of a nurse.

My Johnnie would have said, “Just like the Shoquist clan, all talking at once and no one hearing what the other one says.” It was a very funny play.

Val Gilhouse hosted the Oak Lake ladies, Linnea Oleson, Jill Rivard, Sharon Cooper, Judy Deber, Bonnie Smith and Marion Reiter, at a Christmas party last Tuesday. Reports are it was really nice.

Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, were up at his mom’s on Sunday to put up her Christmas tree.

Sue Krantz spent the week at Volkfield by Tomah for incident training that was work related, as she’s on a management team for Northwest Wisconsin.

Sunday, Greg Krantz, as Santa Claus, and Lainey Hutton, his elf, were at Diane Reynold’s day-care party, which was held at the America’s Best Inns and Suites in Shell Lake.

Jon and Joanne Lechnir’s family attended the Duch Christmas party Saturday afternoon at the American Legion Hall in Baldwin. There was lots of family, food, games and prizes. Santa came with goodies for the kids.

Around 65 attended including John and Vonna Duch from Spooner. The Duch family keeps growing, with three new babies this past year and one on the way. All are great-grands of Lil Aage and Jean’s. Aage would be so happy that the tradition continues.

Fuernot Farms’ employee thank-you and Christmas party was held at the Hideaway in Haugen on Wednesday night with 30 attending including family members.

There was great food, games, prizes and presents.

Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht hosted the Hansen Concrete party at Greener’s Reel ‘Em Inn on Saturday night for his employees.

Also attending were Ryan’s parents, Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht, and Jessie’s folks, Scott and Gloria Butterfield.

Saturday I went along with daughter Mary Marschall to the 50th anniversary party for former neighbors Tom and Linda Tabor held at the Dutchman Hall in Hillsdale.

Lots of folks attended. There was great food and fellowship. It was so nice to see their kids, Michelle and Brent and their families and former neighbor Sharon Pfluger.

It sure has been gloomy with all the fog. Sunday the high was about 48 degrees. The snow is almost gone, which is great! But we’re to get another 2-3 inches of snow this week. Yuck! I can’t wait. Not! Happy birthday to Chelsea Lee on her special day, Dec. 19. Have a great day Chelsea.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Alvin Honetor who passed away recently. Sunshine and I rented land from Alvin for almost 40 years. His wife, Esther, lives in Rice Lake. They had four children together. When Alvin was up to his farm here in Dewey Country he always stopped to see us. At Christmas he always sent a Christmas card. He will be missed by a large host of friends and relatives.

Jeff Ladd went to Mayo on Thursday because of his knee. At this time the doctors told him no surgery. They did give him a brace and he will go for physical therapy.

Jeff tells us he must have snapped a ligament or something.

Pastor John McBeth, a former minister at Lakeview Methodist Church here in Dewey Country, recently died.

He lived in Star Prairie. Sympathy to the family.

You know I don’t think our ground is frozen. Without the snow cover and the warmth I don’t think it has had a chance to freeze. Oh well, we’ll take the cool weather.

Diane Hulleman has been very busy at the Terraceview Living Center in Shell Lake making homemade goodies. I’m trying to get on the good side of Diane for some of those great treats. She says she made a double batch of cookies. Yummy! On Thursday, Diane met with the girls from Lakeview Hospital of Rice Lake for lunch at Time Worn Treasurers. The gals get together to hear all the news. Later Diane shopped in Rice Lake and stopped at her daughter, Nancy’s, in Rice Lake, and attended a program for one of Diane’s great-grandchildren and then came home. On Friday, Diane went with the parish nurses for lunch. Diane plans on having Christmas at her house Dec. 27 for all her kids, grands, great-grands and the girls’ honeys. You can bet Diane’s oven gets a real workout as Diane is baking and baking. Yummy! Sunday found Diane baking again. Afterward she planned to pick up Nancy Thompson as it was her birthday and take her to the Tower House in Cumberland for a nice treat.

Diane worked with Nancy while at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake.

Understand Kay Krentz didn’t have water. Must be the pump is full of sand. It’s awful to be out of water. A few years ago we had the same thing happen to us. We ended up drilling a new well. Then that well caved in. It’s always something on the farm breaking down.

Keep Jerry Besse in your thoughts and prayers.

Teresa Zwart has a daughter who lives in Florida that needs our special thoughts and prayers for her health.

She has a daughter who is 6 and twin boys who are 4 years old.

Well, my granddaughter Kenzie Cramer now is done with one semester of college. Yes, she got home to Eau Claire on Dec. 10 after finals. I think she is off until Jan. 12.

At Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s on Sunday was Vicki Trott playing cards with her folks. During the week, Peggy Vesta came to Cecil and Evelyn’s and decorated for Christmas.

Jerry and Gretchen Best went to Gretchen’s mom’s Friday for a visit. Also there were Mitch Strege of New Richmond, Gwen Strege and Annie Strege.

Talking with Marv Knoop, we find Marv has been watching Bashaw Lake and tells us on Saturday a car drove out on the ice. He also said fishermen who are wetting those lines are catching panfish and getting some northerns. I hope those fishermen know what they’re doing.

Beth Crosby deep-fried fish on Saturday night for Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Anne, and Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia and Jerry and Robin Denver and Gabby.

Answer to No. 10 question, Are you a Genius?: Airmen, Marine and Remain. Now are you a genius?

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Are you ready for Christmas? There are only seven days left now to get all the baking, cleaning, decorating and shopping done. I am usually ready on about the 27th or 28th. Just can’t seem to get everything done that I expect to do.

This is such a busy season for the church. The Sunday school Christmas program will be held this Sunday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m. Peg and the kids always do such a nice job presenting a different play each year. There will be quite a few youngsters participating this year, I think someone said about a dozen, and they have been practicing like mad to get everything perfect for you. We all hope you can join us and let them know how much we appreciate all the work they put into telling us the Christmas story.

The Christmas Eve candlelight service will be held on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. If you are one of our neighbors and friends who hasn’t decided on a home church yet, why not plan on joining us at Barronett Lutheran for this very peaceful service. We listen to the wonderful story of Jesus’ birth and sing the old familiar carols. It is such a wonderful way to relax from all the preparations we’ve been in a frenzy to get done. Relax. Whatever you haven’t finished by 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve is not going to get done. And, guess what, no one will notice anyway.

The Saint Lucia Festival, held at Augustana Lutheran Church last Friday, was, once again this year, beautiful. The sanctuary looks so pretty with all the candles and decorations. And the girls did a beautiful job reciting their lines in

Heart Lake

Fog, fog, fog. I think it’s been around here about four days and it is slippery from the melting snow and then freezes.

Where is the sun? I guess we shouldn’t complain though as out East they have been out of electricity for days and there are mud slides in the western states.

It certainly doesn’t seem like Christmas, but it’s 7 days until Christmas Eve. Time goes by so quickly. We just have to be patient.

Friday, Lillian Ullom attended the kindergarten Christmas program for Sadie Horton in Cumberland.

Talking to Arlys Santiago, she says the Shell Lake park lighting is going good.

John and Mary Marschall attended the Hansen Concrete Christmas party at Greener’s Reel ‘Em Inn on Saturday night.

Swedish and English. The music was lovely. Tru Lehmann was there with her nana and two grandmas, and she was enthralled with the girls in white dresses carrying the candles. Her 4-year-old mind couldn’t quite understand why they were walking around stockingfooted, though. Augustana was filled almost to capacity and everyone seemed to be almost as awestruck as Tru by the performance of the girls. This year Saint Lucia was played by Tess Duncan. Her attendants were Lindsey Bangsberg, Kalley Bergstrom, Kyla Bergstrom, Brooke Chafer and Makenna Olson.

The breakfast after the program was delicious. The fellowship hall is decorated with Swedish Christmas decorations and lots and lots of candles. They serve many different kinds of sweet rolls and cookies, fruit soup and rice pudding. We had a very nice time visiting with friends and neighbors while we ate.

Laura Lindquist stopped by our table to chat for a while and reminded us of the Cumberland Community Chorus concert at St. Paul Lutheran Church that Sunday afternoon. OK, so Sunday afternoon rolled around, and there were so many things that I had to get done I seriously considered skipping the concert. I called Illa Theese to see if she would like to go, and she said she would love to.

So we rode in together, and I’m so glad we went. I had no idea we had so many talented people in this area. There were more people in that chorus than there are in the entire village of Barronett. The concert was wonderful. I had never been to

Ruth Swan and Joni Parker met David Swan in Rice Lake last week and treated him to dinner in honor of his birthday.

Birthday greetings Dave!

Donna Parker will celebrated her birthday here on Tuesday, Dec. 16 Thursday afternoon, JoAnne Olson of Spooner brought her piano students to play for us.

The staff here at Glenview enjoyed their Christmas party on Friday night with good food and games.

How about that game the Packers played on Sunday. They lost 13-21 in a disappointing game.

Old age is when candlelit tables are no longer romantic because you can’t read the menu in the dim light.

Dewey-LaFollette Mary Dunn, Sharon Syverson, Lida Nordquist, Donna and Nina Hines, Karen Mangelsen, Marlene Swearingen, and Lorri McQuade were guests at the home of Janice Fenniman near Spooner on Tuesday. They enjoyed an afternoon of visiting and playing cards.

Dirk Benzer called on Hank and Karen Mangelsen on Thursday morning.

the attic to get the decorations down and she thought that was pretty neat. As we were setting things around, I showed her one decoration that my mom had bought for me many years ago. I told her it was from my mom, and she asked where she was. Well, as you probably know, Mom passed away in 2002, so I told her that she wasn’t here anymore, that she was living with Jesus now. The conversation turned to other things, and I thought that was the end of it.

Not so. Suzy took her back to her mommy later that afternoon and the first thing Tru said to Alyse was, “Grandma Jude’s mom is living with Jesus, and someday I’m going to live with Jesus, too.” Suzy said that tears just squirted out of Alyse’s eyes when she heard her sweet little daughter say that. Suzy called and told me that I made Alyse cry. Oh-oh.

I told her that I really didn’t know how else to explain death to a 4-year-old, and Suzy, being the very wise person that she is, said, “Why didn’t you say she was in Florida or the Hamptons or something?

Oh my.

We (Duane, Wrig Marsh and I) went to Ken Rohl’s Christmas tree farm on Saturday morning and got the most beautiful Christmas tree that we’ve had for years.

Wrig picked it out all by himself, and, even though he had to go home before we could decorate it, he is going to come back and put lots of decorations around the bottom of the tree for us sometime this week. Christmas is certainly a lot more fun with the little ones around.

Sharai Hefty called on Sunday evening and said that her and Gary Rahn’s new house is almost complete. The walls are painted now, and all they have left to do is put in the cabinets and the plumbing.

She said that she would be making Christmas dinner in their new home. Yea! I am so happy for them. They are very excited about this.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. I really hope you can join us for the Christmas program on Sunday evening and the Christmas Eve service on Wednesday. See you there.

a concert given by the Cumberland Community Chorus before, but I certainly will do my best to attend them from now on. The older I get the more I realize that there are times when a person just has to forget about all the hustle and bustle and do something relaxing for a change.

Illa has been pretty busy lately. Last Wednesday Shirley Albee called her and asked her if she would like to come to a quilting bee at her house. A couple of Shirley’s daughters were there and they were doing the quilting while Illa and Shirley relaxed, visited, had lunch and drank coffee. Illa said that it was a fun way to spend the afternoon.

And, she was one of the attendees of the women’s Christmas party at Barronett Lutheran on Saturday. We had so much fun! There were quite a few ladies present, and we had a delicious lunch and plenty of desserts. Geri Pittman played the keyboard for us and we sang a lot of Christmas carols. One really funny thing happened, we asked Jennifer and Devon Snowbank to sing the first verse of one carol in Norwegian, and then we were all going to sing two verses in English. Well, after Jennifer and Devon finished the first verse, and we all started singing in English, Ann Egstad and I thought we were supposed to sing verses two and three, but all the rest of the women were singing verses one and two. Ann and I started laughing and couldn’t quit. It sounded like we were singing a round. I guess you kind of had to be there.

Of course the dice game was lots of fun, too. Illa hadn’t been at one of our parties for years, and every time the dice came to her she threw a double and had to take a gift. She was feeling a little guilty about it, but by the time everyone was done stealing gifts she didn’t have too many anyway. And poor Gloria Gunderson, she couldn’t shake a double if her life depended on it. I think we were into the last three minutes of the game before she ever got a double. It was OK though. By the end everyone, including Gloria, had two or three gifts to open.

Tru Lehmann helped me decorate the house on Friday. We had to climb up into

WITC gets high marks from report SHELL LAKE — Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College’s results from the 2014 Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory indicate that a majority of WITC students feel that their college experiences have outperformed expectations.

“The SSI results tell us that our students recognize our staff’s efforts to continually improve upon their experience at WITC,” said WITC President John Will.

“This demonstrates that WITC continues to put its students first.”

This spring, WITC administered the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory, a nationally recognized student priority and satisfaction survey. The SSI provides academic institutions the ability to measure student satisfaction and priorities. WITC participates in the NoelLevitz SSI every other year.

WITC students in 2014 express greater satisfaction compared to both the national results and the 2012 results. Based on student responses compared to other institutions, focus areas such as institutional effectiveness, academic advising/ counseling and campus climate, among several others, were cited as strengths for the college. WITC also scored highly in admissions and financial aid, academic services, and campus support services.

“The SSI is especially useful because it indicates what is most important to our students, measures how well we meet

their expectations and then compares their opinions with those of students attending other national colleges and Wisconsin technical colleges,” said Jennifer Kunselman, research and data coordinator at WITC. When asked if they would enroll again at WITC, 87 percent of students said they would and 76 percent reported being satisfied or very satisfied with their WITC experience.

The SSI reflects the candid opinions of current students on topics critical to college choice and satisfaction such as academic advising, instructional effectiveness, campus safety and security, and student centeredness. The complete survey is available online at witc.edu.

Ranked fourth best two-year college in the nation by Washington Monthly magazine, WITC serves the educational and career needs of more than 25,000 residents of northwestern Wisconsin each year. With multiple campuses, WITC offers career-focused associate degree programs, technical diplomas, short-term certificates, customized business training and a wide array of courses for personal or career enrichment. WITC is a member of Wisconsin Technical College System.

For more information, call 800-243-WITC or visit witc.edu. WITC is an equal opportunity/access employer and educator.

Shell Lake students participate in business skills competition at WITC RICE LAKE — Shell Lake Future Business Leaders of America members and business and information technology students had the opportunity to compete in the business skills competition hosted by WITC in Rice Lake on Wednesday, 3. The event hosted 12 schools and 110 students from around the area.

Eleven students from Shell Lake participated in a total of 21 events including accounting, business math, business

law, desktop publishing, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, keyboarding, personal finance and business plan.

Adrianna Smith and Miranda Weber led the way by placing second in the business plan competition.

In addition to the competition, students listened to speakers and could tour the campus. — submitted by Kristen Pabst and Jody Sampson

Shell Lake students attending the business skills competition were (L to R): Keagan Blazer, Arianna Schreiber, Kelsey Egbert, Kennedy Ellanson, Chantal Wiersch, Miranda Weber, Adrianna Smith, Danielle Allar, Alyssa Schultz, Jessica Milton and Emma Bennis.

SHELL LAKE — Did you join in with the 67 million students worldwide that have participated in the Hour of Code?

Shell Lake students did. Mrs. Pabst’s classes joined students across the globe in completing over 3.7 billion lines of code.

But, that is only the start. There is still time left to help achieve the goal of reaching 100 million students worldwide.

What is the Hour of Code?

The Hour of Code is a global movement to expose students to computer science, reaching tens of millions of students in 180-plus countries. Anyone, anywhere can do an Hour of Code. No experience is needed. Activities are suitable for ages 4 to 104. One-hour tutorials are available in over 30 languages. Access the website at hourofcode.com/us.

When is the Hour of Code?

The Hour of Code event took place Dec. 8-12 during Computer Science Education Week. However, you can complete the Hour of Code at any time.

Why an Hour of Code?

The purpose of this initiative is to expose students to computer science and provide them with opportunities to not

just use technology, but to build it. These STEM inspired activities help to nurture creativity and develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Computer science is a growing field and it is projected that by 2020 there will be 1 million jobs without the graduates to fill them.

How can I participate in an Hour of Code?

The only requirement is a computer with an Internet connection. Go to hourofcode.com/us, click on start and choose the tutorial that most interests you. That’s it - begin coding. A variety of activities including Flappy Bird, “Frozen,” and Angry Birds themes are available. You can program with Java, Python, Scratch, Swift, Blockly and more.

This global movement has been featured on CBS, and tech giants Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Google have joined forces to promote this event.

Celebrities Ashton Kutcher, Shakira, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and even President Obama have participated. So join this growing group in completing the Hour of Code. How many lines can you code? — from Shell Lake Schools

SHELL LAKE — Rachel Milton, seventh-grade student at Shell Lake, has taken the first step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a local competition sponsored by the Shell Lake Lions Club.

Milton’s poster was among more than 375,000 entries submitted worldwide in the 27th-annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest. Lions Clubs International is sponsoring the contest to emphasize the importance of world peace to young people everywhere.

“Peace is beautiful and unique,” the 12-year-old from Shell Lake said. The poster was selected for its originality, artistic merit and portrayal of the contest theme, Peace, Love and Understanding.

Shell Lake Lions Club President Dave Zeug said he was impressed by the expression and creativity of the students at Shell Lake. “It is obvious that these young people have strong ideas about

what peace means to them. I’m so proud that we were able to provide them with the opportunity to share their visions.”

Milton’s poster will advance to face stiff competition through the district, multiple district and international rounds of competition if she is to be declared the international grand-prize winner,” Zeug said.

One grand-prize winner and 23 merit award winners will be selected. The grand prize includes a cash award of $5,000 plus a trip for the winner and two family members to an award ceremony.

The 23 merit award winners will each receive a certificate and a cash award of $500.

“Our club is cheering for Rachel as her poster advances in the competition and we hope that her vision will ultimately be shared with others around the world,” Zeug said. — from Shell Lake Lions
