MADISON - Stu Olson, president of the Shell Lake School Board, was recently elected president of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards.

Olson has been a member of the Shell Lake School Board since 1997 and has served on the WASB board of directors since 2009. He ran for the Shell Lake School Board because of a passion for excellence in education. He is particularly interested in the role of trust as a necessary foundation for achieving excellence, and seeks to strengthen trust at all levels of the public education system.

Olson was born and raised in Racine and attended UW-Madison where he graduated with honors in zoology. He is currently transitioning to retirement from a 33-year career as a scientist and manager at Stresau Laboratory in Spooner.

He and his wife, Pam, have three children and live on a farm in rural Shell Lake.

Upon the start of his term as WASB president, Olson addressed school leaders at the state education convention in Milwaukee. Olson emphasized the importance of developing a culture of trust on the school board and in our schools.

“Trust is a must on several levels in public education,” Olson said. “I’m talking about trust within your school board itself, and between your board and your superintendent, and between your board/superintendent team and the rest of your staff. In the post-Act 10 world, it’s more important than ever to establish a culture of trust, and more possible than ever.”

Joining Olson in leading the WASB is Terry McCloskey, a school board member in Three

Stu Olson. — Photo submitted Lakes. McCloskey was elected first vice president. Mary Jo Rozmenoski, a member of the Black River Falls School Board, will serve as second vice president. Olson will serve a one-year term as WASB president.

Birchwood student to participate in Japanese foreign exchange BIRCHWOOD - Birchwood sophomore Daryan Schultz, 16, has been accepted into the AFS-USA foreign exchange program.

Schultz has been dreaming of traveling to Japan since she was in junior high, and because of this she took the initiative to make her dream a reality. Early in 2015, she applied to AFS-USA’s international exchange. At the point of acceptance, she was offered the opportunity to learn in several different locales across the world.

Of course, Japan was one of them, and she jumped on that option. That got the process rolling, and since her acceptance into the program, Schultz has attended an early orientation, gone through countless checklists for preparedness, and most significantly, has had to raise over $15,000 to actually participate, the most daunting of the tasks involved in this opportunity.

Despite the challenge of raising that much money, Schultz was able to share her hopes and aspirations with people who instantly felt the need to help. The Birchwood Education Foundation alone helped her to raise $11,000, and the other $4,000 has

come through private donors, friends, and Schultz’s own h a rd work. She worked three jobs over the summer. Still to be raised are the funds for expenses outside of the program, inDaryan Schultz, 16, a sophcluding lugomore at Birchwood School, gage costs, will be traveling to Japan to visas, toiletparticipate in a student exries, a camchange program. — Photo era, gifts for submitted her host family, a school uniform and spending money. For these things, Schultz has set up a GoFundMe campaign. Already, she has raised $765 through this effort, with a goal of $1,000.

Schultz is the first Birchwood School

student to ever participate in a foreign exchange. When asked if this was scary or intimidating, Schultz responded, “I might be lost through nearly all of it … I’m nervous, but not too worried.” She went on to say how excited she is to meet her host family, consisting of a stay-at-home mother, working father, a grandmother, grandfather, great-grandmother and three siblings, aged 6, 4 and 2 - all living in the same household. Schultz loves children, so she’s particularly excited about her host siblings, and looks forward to helping take care of them.

Her hope through all of this is to become more fluent in Japanese, and more culturally aware. “I want to get out of my comfort zone,” she says.

Schultz will fly to Los Angeles on March 20 and stay there for a two-day orientation with other U.S. students traveling to Japan. She will leave for Tokyo on March 22 and from there will take public transportation to her host city in the prefecture of Aichi-Ken, to the city of Toyohashi.

There she will spend a week with her

host family, then begin school the week following. School will be completely assimilated; however, she will have some additional classes of Japanese with other English-speaking students. She is looking forward to the schooling, and feels confident she will perform well because, “...in Japan they worry more about exams than homework.” If there’s one thing Schultz is, it’s motivated. And, if her preparation for this trip is any indication, she’ll be very successful in her time overseas.

Ten candidates for Spooner School Board

Tuesday, Feb. 16, primary election

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER - The Tuesday, Feb. 16, primary election for the Spooner School Board is the result of 10 candidates filing for three positions on the school board.

The primary election will reduce the number of candidates to six. In light of the approaching primary election, candidates shared with the Register why they are running and issues they are running for.

Candidates are listed in alphabetical order by last name.

Tom Clark: “I’ve lived in the area about five years, and one of the things that always stood out when we came here to visit was how nice of an area it is, how beautiful it is. When I got involved with the school I saw how the kids are very well-rounded. They have the opportunities to do so many different things; they were in theater, sports, band or choir, they did all these different things.

Then what I recognized after the last two years is that it seems like it’s trying to be torn apart a little bit, and there’s no spirit inside the community anymore as what it used to be. And that bothers me. I have two kids in the school. We need to get through all this as a community and as a school board and get back to creating an environment where our kids prosper and our town can be proud, have spirit for their school. The students deserve it, they deserve an opportunity.

“For me it’s really important we get our academics. Of the school board meetings I have attended, I haven’t heard a lot about academics or where we are going, what do we need to do, why we aren’t doing this, could we do this better and how can we help that. For me, if I was going to say what my platform is, my platform is let’s build an academic institution that is conducive to the environment where we live and the spirit and pride we want to give our students, to have them come back here and live. It’s really important that academics and extracurricular activities are at the forefront at school, that’s what creates pride and spirit in people.”

Tim Davis: “At this time, I will not continue to pursue a seat on the Spooner Area School Board. I have encountered a personal challenge that precludes my campaign and desire to sit as a school board member. I continue to have interest and concern for the governance of the Spooner School District. At this time, I would defer any community support for myself to Robert Hoellen as a write-in candidate in the Primary Election. Mr. Hoellen is an experienced board member that pursues good governance and integrity. I put confidence in his leadership and ability to govern our school well.”

this is a time where we do need to come together as a community to work together to solve the issues that are facing our district. It’s my hope that if people elect me to the school board that we can work toward positive solutions for the district.”

Kevin King: “I’m not happy with the direction we are going and the environment we currently have. Surveys have been done by both the school district and the community that show that we have a poor working environment, which has caused staff and students to leave in numbers never before seen in our district.

“We have a lack of transparency in board meetings and I would like to change that. All regular board meetings should be available to the public as unedited video…I believe there should be fewer closed session discussions and that the current board is using closed sessions in order to avoid public participation and comment. There should be more opportunity for public comment and these comments should be recorded in meeting minutes so that people who were not in attendance can be made aware of some of the concerns and issues brought forward.

Meeting agendas should be properly noticed in a timely manner and not posted or changed at the last minute.

“We have $250,000 worth of (technical education) equipment that was donated to the school that is not being used because the instructor hasn’t been trained how to use it … I will use my background to see that tech ed and programs like it are improved, as the trades are very important employers.

“There also needs to be more fiscal oversight on district expenses. In a time when the current board is saying that tough choices need to be made, why is our bill for legal expense well over $80,000 and growing since the last annual meeting?

No legal counsel should be sought without first obtaining the full board’s approval.

“I will work to provide a more positive environment for our staff and our students. As a board, we should be more approachable to all voters, not just those who support our goals and ideals. A referendum will not pass solely on the back of a small group that may have gotten you elected. The entire electorate will have to be engaged for the good of our school and students.” King has a daughter that attends Spooner High School.

Miles Macone: “It is something that I have been paying attention to for a long time. I have been going to meetings long before we had this superintendent. My wife is a teacher up there, and we have always wanted to keep ourselves really informed as to what’s going on. I just felt like I am a more centered person to

a lot of the issues the school faces. I felt like it would be nice to have somebody that knows the issues, is well-informed of what’s going on up there, that could help in this situation. I am not somebody that is coming in with one agenda item. I’ve lived in this community for most of my life and it’s taken me aback to see what’s going on the last 16 months or so. I want to help get us back to where we need to be as far as financially stable and where we’re not at everybody’s throats. I want the best for our schools and that’s where I am coming from.

“One thing that has bothered me is the staff loss … I am hoping we can figure out ways to keep these teachers around here … because I know a lot of them, and some of them that left really hurt the district. We have to figure out a way to find it in the budget to compensate our teachers to be competitive with other school districts.

“I think we need to do a better job as a board communicating and getting out in the public. I think negative has had a chance, and I think positive should have a chance, too. Let’s fix this thing. I have three young kids in this district. I need this district to be at its best for my kids to get a great education. Any decisions I make on the board are going to be for the kids of this district. Regarding my wife being a district employee, if there was a question on conflict of interest I would recuse myself.”

Nathaniel Melton: “I am running because we have a problem with transparency, the way we spend our money and how we are treating people.

I am running because of what I see happening and how it’s affecting our sports program. I am running because there are more people in the crowd that know more about running meetings correctly than what the board appears to be doing. I am running because it seems that the board and the administration do not care about some of our meeting laws, about transparency and that is important.

We’ve got to have transparency, and we’ve got to have things out in the open.

Not backroom deals and not stuff hidden in smoke and mirrors. I also see a lack of leadership and we’ve got to have people who lead.

“I think board members should have clear opinions about topics and share their decisions with the public. I am also concerned about the way our school is going in the way of education and where they are wanting to go with our grading system.”

Kyle Pierce: “I am a concerned citizen interested in the area. I have a familyowned business here and a kid in the district. I just want to see the Spooner

School succeed.

“I just want to see some consistency with the school board, and I have a pretty good grasp on things that have happened over the past few years. I do see some good things that have come out of that change. I am interested in working with the (district) staff and my constituents to keep our school district growing.

Consistency is my main concern. As we keep having turnovers on the board and I think we need to keep some consistency there so we can follow up on the good things we have started.”

“I listen to all sides as much as I can. I ask questions based off of feedback that I get from staff, from community members and just my own personal opinion. I am not out to play any sides. I base my decisions on factual information and do what I feel is best for the district.”

Bill Skidmore: “Basically the reason I am running is because of the lack of leadership on the school board right now. It seems to me that the school board is incapable or unwilling to make any decisions without the superintendent telling them what to do.” Other reasons Skidmore is running are staff retention, harassment complaints against the superintendent, open enrollment out of the school district and deficit spending.

“My biggest issue right now is that the school board and superintendent are completely out of touch with the taxpayers and the people who care about our school district. They ignore what people are telling them is going on … If there is an issue it needs to be addressed and corrected, not covered by almost $100,000 in legal fees.”

Karen Sorenson: “I am running for the school board because I have attended some school board meetings in the last 15 to 18 months and there seems to be a lack of clarity with decisions, communications and overall dealings with the school board.

“Issues that are important to me are we have lost a large number of students to open enrollment, and we have lost a large number of staff in the past year or two.” Other issues that concern her are the state of district finances, lack of clarity on district finances and unanswered questions on the district’s finances.

“I graduated from Spooner High School, I taught at Spooner High School for 38 years, and I continue to have a working relationship with students as a driver education instructor. I care deeply about our students, staff and the community.

I believe the school is the heart of the community and at this point there seems to be a lot of turmoil.”

Snowstorm removal

Jim Dienstl; “To present both sides of every story and just make sure the facts are out there. I feel that hasn’t been done in the past. Not only by the newspaper but by the people that are talking a lot.”

When asked what issues he was running for he said, “just the truth and the facts, no specific issues.”

Chad Gibson: “Having taught in the district for six years and then leaving the district this year, I have been very frustrated at the level of communication that has come out from the school board and the administration. It is something that I hope to improve by being involved in the process.

“Certainly the budget needs to be put in a better position than it is. I think community relations are very strained as well, and because of that, transparency of information has become an issue. It has become a very personal issue for me when I see our students education has gone down in the last year and a half.” He is also concerned about “the turnover of staff and the bringing in of staff that are not certified to teach specific areas that get emergency licensure.

“As a community I have always seen Spooner’s strength has been working together to support families in need and

The state of transportation in Wisconsin

Craig Thompson | executive director, Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin

MADISON - The state of transportation in Wisconsin is not as strong as it needs to be.

I am not alone in this assessment. The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance released a 2015 report card for Wisconsin in which it graded 23 different areas of the state from per capita personal income to energy costs to graduation rates. The area that received the worst grade was the condition of our highways, in which Wisconsin received a D grade.

The state’s road are lacking by comparison as well. The U.S. Department of Transportation posted a fact sheet titled Road and Bridge Data by State which shows 71 percent of Wisconsin’s roads are in mediocre or poor condition. That places Wisconsin 47th out of 50 states.

So what if our roads are a little bumpy to drive over and hard to look at, you might say. We have more important things to tend to like creating jobs.

Well, if we want to attract and retain businesses that create jobs, we are likely neglecting their No. 1 priority. In a national survey of CEOs and consultants ranking factors for choosing where to locate, access to highways scored as the most important factor — a skilled workforce ranked No. 2. It’s no wonder when you consider the fact that transportation comprises 50-80 percent of supply-chain costs.

Why are we faring so badly when it comes to our roads? At the local level, cities, towns and counties are able to repair and replace fewer miles of road each year due to stagnant state funds. In many instances, replacement schedules now exceed twice the number of years for which the roads were engineered. As for our

major highways, some of our most pressing improvement projects continue to be delayed and shelved for the same reason.

Enough of the doom and gloom. The good news is that unlike eradicating poverty or finding peace in the Middle East, this problem is completely within our control. All it requires is some proactive leadership.

Now is the time to tackle this issue.

Lower gas prices have saved the average two-car household over $1,000. We can put Wisconsin transportation back on a sustainable funding path while still leaving most of those dollars in the motorists’ pockets.

Wisconsin has long provided a value to drivers – lower combined gas tax and vehicle registration fees – when compared to neighboring states. We can modernize our system and provide mobility options without jeopardizing this advantage.

We can most certainly do better than a

D. All this requires is the resolve to address the problem. Let’s just fix it.

Note: Craig Thompson is the executive director of the Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin. From the buses in Racine to the Port of Green Bay, from the rail lines in Superior to the Waukesha County Airport to the roads we use every day, Wisconsin’s transportation network is the key to connecting goods to market and people to jobs. Founded in 1971, the Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin promotes the vitality and safety of the state’s transportation system, including public transit systems, public-use and general aviation airports, railroads, commercial ports and roads.

Sen. Bewley and Rep. Meyers bill signed into law MADISON - Senate Bill 104, authored

by Sen. Janet Bewley, D-Delta, and Rep. Beth Meyers, D-Bayfield, allowing the Town of La Pointe to enact shoreland zoning ordinances, was signed into law Thursday, Feb. 4, by Gov. Scott Walker.

The bill is narrowly focused and designed to respond to the unique situation faced by the Town of La Pointe on Madeline Island, which is part of Ashland County. While the island is just off of Bayfield County, Ashland County is a 2.2mile ferry trip and a 23-mile drive away.

The bill allows the town officials to enact shoreland zoning ordinances that are more restrictive than Ashland County’s

shoreland zoning ordinances, regardless of the order of enactment. Senate Bill 104 is now Act 146.

“I was extremely pleased to have this bill signed into law. It was a joint effort from Sen. Bewley and I, as well as the Town of La Pointe and Ashland County,” said Meyers. “At a time when the state Legislature is steadily eroding local control, we were fortunate to be able to convince our colleagues to give the citizens living on one of the state’s few inhabited islands this small measure of control over what happens in their community,” added Bewley. — from the office of Sen. Bewley

AREA NEWS AT A GLANCE BALSAM LAKE - A Glenwood City woman and her boyfriend are facing multiple charges for an incident that began where the duo was apparently too drunk to drive home, so they had her 9-yearold daughter drive their pickup truck on Hwy. 46 in southern Polk County.

There was also an infant in the vehicle.

Amanda Eggert, 32, and Jason Roth, 36, both of Glenwood City, are facing a variety of charges for the incident that allegedly took place Sunday, Jan. 31, when the couple was confronted by police after a report of an erratic driver – the 9-yearold child. When police arrived on the

scene, the police noticed Eggert had suffered a serious hand injury. She was taken to the ambulance for treatment when she started swinging at the EMT and the deputy. Eggert continued to swear at and assault the people involved, enough that the ambulance stopped down the road after she attempted to grab the EMT’s throat. She was then placed under arrest and restrained, being transported to the hospital. Eggert faces four felony counts, including two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment and two charges of attempted battery to a law officer and an emergency worker. She also faces three

ment with Clayton for the next two football seasons. The meeting was called after representatives from Clayton approached Superintendent Rose to see if there was any interest in a co-op for football. Clayton, who has traditionally co-oped with Turtle Lake in sports, was turned down

by Turtle Lake when approached about the football co-op. Rose cited many reasons for pursuing the co-op. There were several people attending the meeting representing both sides of the issue. When put to a vote, the agreement was defeated by a vote of three against and one in favor, with one member being absent. — from the Cumberland Advocate

Paddlers invited to weeklong Namekagon adventure

ST. CROIX FALLS - The St. Croix River Association is now accepting registrations for their annual river paddle, June 11-17.

The six-day adventure will cover 92 miles of the Namekagon River, from Cable to Danbury. The Namekagon, which feeds into the St. Croix River, is part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, a national park.

The registration fee is $375, which covers shuttles, transportation of gear along the route, six nights of camping, evening

educational programs and five meals. The deadline to register is Sunday, May 1. The trip is limited to 80 paddlers and usually fills months in advance. In the past three years about 300 people have participated.

The youngest was 18 months old, and the oldest 87.

“Expect to unplug and reconnect with the natural world,” says Deb Ryun, executive director of the St. Croix River Association. “We do the organizing, all you have to do is show up with your gear and some food and have fun. You’ll challenge yourself, build lasting relationships, see an abundance of wildlife and stunning scenery, and learn more about this wild and scenic river.”

“It’s the friendships, the beauty of the

surroundings and the complete relaxation that I look forward to each time,” says paddler Leta Johnson. “The ability to take time and just enjoy, to laugh, and to understand that what I am really looking for is just outside.”

This year’s journey promises a diverse paddling experience. The Namekagon River is primitive and remote, at times very narrow and wild. Other reaches flow through more populated areas. As it nears the confluence of the St. Croix River, the Namekagon runs wider and slower. The paddle will meet the St. Croix River on the final day.

The 2016 paddle will be the sixth of a tradition started in 2011, when paddlers traveled 17 days down the length of the

SPOONER — Cover crops and soil health have emerged as buzzwords in the agriculture community in recent times.

Brian Briski, of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, will share farmer experiences using rye, clovers, radishes, turnips and other crops in various cropping systems across Wisconsin and the Midwest. He will discuss some practical options in selecting, planting and managing cover crops in the northern region. This seminar will provide you with the tools and information to decide how cover crops can fit into grain crop, hay or pasture, and market garden systems. Soil health principles will be discussed and illustrated through hands-on demonstrations.

The sessions, sponsored by UW-Extension and NRCS, last about two hours, and are part of the 31st-annual Northern Safari of Agriculture Specialists. They are free of charge and one will take place Friday, Feb. 19, 10 a.m., at the Spooner Ag

Research Station. For more information, contact Otto Wiegand at 715-635-3506.

Briski has worked in many regions of Wisconsin for NRCS over 15 years as a soil conservationist, district conservationist and currently as the area resource conservationist in Altoona. He is one of the leading NRCS cover crop professionals in Wisconsin. As part of the Wisconsin NRCS Soil Health Team, Briski has taken the opportunity to mingle, listen and learn from some of the leading resource professionals in the nation, including Ray Archuleta, the NRCS soils guru. In addition, Briski has firsthand knowledge from National Soil Health Profile farmers including Gabe Brown, Dave Brandt, Dwayne Beck, Dan DeSutter and many others.

T

uesday mornings, at coffee time, it is a time of reminiscing about the changes that have taken place in Shell Lake. A lot of the reminiscing lately has been about the years between 1935 and 1950.

Shell Lake was a busy town. There were four barbers and one beauty shop. They were: Ben Baumgarner’s, Frank Copp’s, Bert Shipman’s barbershops and Mildred Shipman’s beauty shop.

There were six grocery stores and meat markets to choose from for weekly bargains. They were Oscar Dahlstrom’s, Henry Donnally’s, Harold Johnson’s Co-op Store, Economy Cash where John Christianson was the butcher, Frank Schon’s and Heistercamp’s. All the grocery stores handled some clothing as well as the Benson, Heistercamp and Hanson’s clothing store. Julius Drospeth had the only new shoe and shoe repair shop in town. Along with grocery stores, there were home milk and cream delivery by Toftness, Windy Davis, Sherman Esswein and Ray Block.

And one bakery owned by Joe Sheriff. Charles Jacobs had the ice company that supplied ice for the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific railroads as well as the city of Shell Lake and surrounding area. There was the Shell Lake Co-op Creamery and Bandasters cream-buying station. Shell Lake had one variety store, owned by Art Lind, which was located across from the bank.

There was a good selection of places to eat in Shell Lake. You could choose from Bud and Pinky’s, Redwood Cafe, Shell Lake Hotel, Lake View Hotel, the White Cafe and Tiptown. Let’s not forget about something to drink. Choices were Shell Lake Hotel, Lake View Hotel, Tiptown, Rud and Murphy Dahl’s, Walter Ek’s and the bowling alley.

The number of banks and credit unions numbered three. Shell Lake State Bank’s manager was Ervin Miller, J.M. Smith had the Lumberman’s Bank, and the credit union was managed by a man named Anderson.

Jake and Vern Allen and Speck Clanton had a Ford dealership, Chuck and Doug Lutz had the Desoto and Plymouth dealership and Joe Jacobs had a car repair shop. With new car dealerships came the need for gas. There was Allen’s Shell Gas and Oil; Les Walker had a Tydal Gas station; and Frances Kibbler had another Tydal Gas; Kuhn and Garnheart owned a Standard station and one was owned by Chuck and Doug Lutz; Joe Bennett’s was a Texaco and Carl Swanson had the Farmers Union. Can you believe there were eight gas pumps in town? The two implement dealers were Brand and Albee.

Coal was supplied by Lampert Lumberyard, Brand’s and Lutz. There were several area wood suppliers.

Alfred Shaffer had bees and produced honey. Then there was the Gibson chicken hatchery. Mike Shea was the editor of the Washburn County Register, which was the local paper at that time. The only lumberyard was Lamperts. Ward Winton was the lawyer. The train depot was manned by Bert Stouffer.

Charles Lewis and Dr. Moen built a hospital that was located in what is now the clinic parking lot. Dr. Moen and Dr. E.R. Herring were the doctors at that time. Dr. Crowell and Dr. Heard were the dentists. R.J. Price had the Shell Lake Drugstore, while Nick Masterjohn’s Medicine Chest and Harry Wilson’s were the other drugstores. Walter Ross and Jack Bloom had the funeral home.

Coffee shop memoirs

Every Tuesday, Alvin Holman, Del Soholt, Elmer Anderson and Cy Atkinson gather at Thru the Woods Cafe in Shell Lake to reminisce and tell stories of days gone by. — Photo by Larry Samson The Farmers Union and the Apple River were the local feed mills. There were two livery stables, one under the Medicine Chest and the O’Connor’s, which was across from the courthouse. And let’s not forget the blacksmiths, Joel Henderson and Pete Saless. Roy Besse and Charley Brown were both gunsmiths. Then there were the cattle and horse jockeys: P. J. Donavon, Sam Meyers, Hack Kallenbach, Frank O’Connor, Carl Bailey and Weber West.

Allen Hoar had a Gambles Hardware Store and R.L. Tarbox had the other hardware store. Boat builders and boat repair were Shell Lake Boat Builders, Peterson Brothers and Besse Repair. Jewelry sale and repair were provided by Goetzel, Mackie and Bill Tilden. Louie Jacobs had a potato chip factory and a beer and pop delivery service.

If you needed a place to stay when you were in town, there was the Shell Lake Hotel, Lake View Hotel, Rainbow cabins and Tony Thebidos. John Gronning had a plumbing and heating business.

Of course there was a U.S. Post Office;

Jim Kennedy was the postmaster. And there was the Washburn County Courthouse. Earl Lund was the manager of the Wisconsin Hydro Electric. The telephone company switchboard operator was Marie Getzel and others. Faith Bohn had a museum in her home.

Places of worship included Salem Lutheran, German Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist and Catholic churches.

For entertainment there was the bowling alley, which Pete Meninger and Harry Hard had. Shell Lake had a movie theater managed by Mackie and Blume, which was in the auditorium. On a Saturday or Sunday for 25 cents you could see Gene Autry, Tom Mix, the “Lone Ranger” and other movies.

We hope we have provided a little bit of history of Shell Lake and brought back some memories for you. Our plan is to put together another chapter of history of the lives and activities during this time period. We are all in our late 80s and may not remember what we did.

We apologize if we have missed anyone’s business.

State Patrol Law of the Month Drivers must not get within 200 feet of the rear of a snowplow

SPOONER - With weeks of winter still to come, motorists should remember that snowplows are built for power, not agility, so they need plenty of space to do their job.

“Most of the collisions between snow-

plows and other vehicles occur when the snowplow is rear-ended,” said Lt. Dori Petznick, of the Wisconsin State Patrol Northwest Region. “Snowplows may have to slow down or stop suddenly if they encounter an obstacle, like a stuck or stalled vehicle. When visibility is poor, you might not see the snowplow’s taillights until it’s too late. To avoid rear-end collisions, you have to slow down and stay back at least 200 feet from the rear of the snowplow.”

According to state law it is illegal to

Pizza party to be held at the library SHELL LAKE - Shell Lake students in sixth through 12th grade are invited to a pizza party on Thursday, Feb. 11, after early release from school.

Students will enjoy pizza, fruit and drink, play Wii games, board games and/ or card games. Students may ride the bus

to the library if they have permission. The program will end about 3 p.m.

Early release pizza parties are sponsored by the AODA committee of Washburn County and the Shell Lake Public Library to provide students with a safe, alcoholfree and drug-free activity. — from SLPL

“follow a snowplow closer than 200 feet on any highway having a posted speed limit of more than 35 mph if the snowplow is engaged in highway winter maintenance snow and ice removal.”

A citation for violating this law costs $175.30 with three demerit points assessed on the driver’s license. A second or subsequent offense within a year costs $213.10 with an additional three demerit points.”

Petznick added, “If you approach an oncoming snowplow on a two-lane road,

it’s wise to slow down and proceed with caution because the snow blowing from the plow may limit your visibility.”

With their power and size, snowplows can clear paths for motorists even in the most extreme weather conditions. In return, drivers can help snowplows perform this important traffic-safety task by giving them room to maneuver. — from WisSP

Birchwood School announces 4K open enrollment opportunities BIRCHWOOD - If you or someone you know is a parent of an incoming 4-yearold kindergarten student, it is now time to educate yourself on the educational environments that are available to your child. Because you know how your child learns best, it is important that you choose an environment that teaches to your child’s strengths.

The Birchwood School District provides you choice between the Birchwood Elementary School’s 4K classroom and the Birchwood Public Montessori School – Children’s House. Both classrooms will provide a great teacher, a great learning environment, but a different instructional philosophy. This means parents can choose an educational setting that best meets their child’s learning style and provides the educational environment that best fosters their love of learning.

According to the American Montessori Society, “Components necessary for a program to be considered authentically Montessori include multiage groupings that foster peer learning, uninterrupted blocks of work time, and guided choice of work activity. In addition, a full complement of specially designed Montessori learning materials are meticulously arranged and available for use in an aesthetically pleasing environment” (amshq.org). Children

The Birchwood School District provides a choice between the Birchwood School 4K classroom and the Birchwood Public Montessori School – Children’s House. — Photo submitted who are generally intrinsically motivated and independent tend to excel in this classroom environment.

In a traditional classroom, students are grouped with students their same age and taught with consideration to the group as

a whole. Lessons are sequential and tied strongly to state and federal standards.

Children who function well in a highly structured, predictable and deliberate environment generally perform very well in this type of classroom.

At Birchwood, every child is treated as a unique and valued individual. They know you as parents know them best, so they invite you to get to know what educational option suits them best. Please contact Birchwood School if you have questions about the first of the many educational choices you and your child will make during their exciting journey of learning.

Spooner-Trego Lions fishing contest a success

The Spooner-Trego Lions had an ice-fishing contest on Spooner Lake, Saturday, Feb. 6. The first and largest fish brought in was a 9-pound, 2-ounce northern by Dani Dewitt. She won $50.

Brooklyn Robotti was the other young winner at the ice-fishing contest. Robotti, shown with Diane Moravec, caught a 2-pound, 5-ounce bass and received $25.

Blaze pink signed into law MADISON - Bipartisan legislation introduced by Wisconsin Sportsmen’s Caucus Co-Chairs Nick Milroy, D-South Range, and Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc, to allow gun deer hunters to wear blaze-pink hunting apparel was signed into law Thursday, Feb. 4.

Milroy joined Gov. Scott Walker and others at a bill signing ceremony at the state Capitol in Madison. The bill, which passed both houses of the Legislature on bipartisan votes, will make Wisconsin the first state in the country to give hunters the option of wearing bright, fluorescent, blaze pink.

“Safety was our first consideration. In working with expert color scientist Professor Majid Sarmadi at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Human Ecology, we learned that blaze pink is just as visible, if not more visible, to the human eye than blaze orange,” Milroy explained. “Additionally, we learned blaze pink is actually more difficult for deer to

see than blaze orange.”

“This bill is simply about giving hunters the option to wear blaze-pink hunting gear, which has been available to purchase but not yet legal for hunting use,” Milroy said. “Retailers and manufacturers recognized this untapped market and began promoting pink merchandise, including everything from clothing to weapons. Allowing the legal use of blaze pink will add an additional option for hunters.

“Hunting is vital to maintaining a healthy deer population, which benefits individual sportsmen and women as well as the sporting, forest product, and agriculture industries as a whole.”

While Wisconsin became the first state to allow blaze pink, it appears that it will not be the last. Milroy said that he has received calls from legislators in Minnesota and Colorado interested in introducing blaze pink legislation in their states.

— from the office of Rep. Milroy

One of the young winners at the Spooner-Trego Lions ice-fishing contest was Chance Kidder with a 6-pound, 4-ounce northern. He won $25. Shown are Chance and Chase along with their dad, Jared Kidder, Shell Lake.

“A

ll you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” - Charles M. Schulz, cartoonist Sunday, Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, is a day to celebrate love. Some celebrate with chocolate and flowers.

There are those that scan the card racks in stores looking for the perfect declaration-of-love message printed with a beautiful picture. While some seek out a very sincere message, I tend to go for cards that have a bit of humor. I have included with this week’s column a picture of a postcard that was found in a box of my grandmother’s papers. This message is more the kind of message I would send to my valentine.

Did you know the first valentine on record was sent in the mail in 1806? Even though the tradition continues today, I’m thinking the Internet may have taken away some of the messages that would have been sent through the post office.

Valentine’s Day is a time for schoolchildren to exchange valentine greetings with their classmates and perhaps attach a small treat. In addition to heartshaped chocolate, a popular valentine candy is the conversation heart bearing a variety of sayings includ-

Valentine’s Day Beyond the office door Suzanne Johnson ing: Best Day, Be Mine, Fax Me, Text Me, True Love.

On Valentine’s Day last year, I was gifted with a small plastic bag containing conversation hearts. Attached was a heart-shaped note that read:

God’s Conversation Hearts Be Mine – John 3:16 All Mine – John 10:27-30 True Love – Jeremiah 31:3 Love Me – Luke 10:27 I’m Sure – John 14:1-3

Sweet Talk – Psalm 119:103 Be Good – John 14:15 Fax Me – Jeremiah 33:3 May you have a happy Valentine’s Day, even if it is only to enjoy a piece of guilt-free chocolate while reading a box of the little heart-shaped sugar candies that contain a little message.

The child star

S

he is called the most popular and the most famous child star of all time. Mention the name Shirley Temple and people become animated, as if a comet has flung itself across the sky and landed in their midst. Hollywood is lauded and condemned and the movies that starred this little tyke are up for review. Has anyone living in this country not heard of Shirley? Maybe some of the men, but all of the little girls of my day were held to the standard of the little actress. We had to be like the doll, and we had to be as talented and cute and have curly hair. The movies showed Shirley in trouble and finding a way out. And singing and dancing along the way. To me, her happiness was my happiness and her sadness made me cry.

Some said she was a rich little brat and disliked her. A pampered child. A fictional product of Hollywood.

America fell in love with Shirley Temple. She did bit parts in one- and two-reel comedies. But it was her first hit, “Little Miss Marker” for Paramount in 1934, when she was 4 years old, that made her a star. There had been other child actors in films. Jackie Coogan was the most prominent, and Mickey Rooney, Jane Withers, Judy Garland, Bonita Granville, and later, Elizabeth Taylor, Margaret O’Brien, Peggy Ann Garner and Natalie Wood. Shirley Temple eclipsed all the others. She was the No. 1 box office hit from 1935 to 1938.

She was ahead of actors like Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart and Spencer Tracy, and actresses like Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. Only Bing Crosby, later, beat her record as top earner for five years in a row.

She saved Paramount from bankruptcy. She worked for 20 years making films for them and for Fox, and Twentieth Century Fox. How did she do it? They say she had magnetism, charisma, magic and star quality.

I think Rudy Vallee said it best, “She had that grand quality that reached out to the audience and held it.” Biographers Lester and Irene David wrote that in her characters she had a code. “She was fair-minded, gutsy and above all else, passionately honest.” She was the same in life.

Shirley Temple was born April 23, 1927, in Santa Monica, Calif., to her mother, Gertrude, and father, George Temple. Gertrude’s father had been a jeweler who came to California and died five years later.

Gertrude married George, who worked in a bank, and there were two boys, and when they were almost grown, they had their daughter.

Even as a baby, Shirley wiggled her toes as if she were dancing. Gertrude brought her to Meglin, a dancing school staffed by show people, and Shirley

Burn barrels, an unhealthy way of dealing with trash

D

id you know that an estimated 500,000 burn barrels are still being used today in the state of Wisconsin? Burning a barrel of trash in your backyard can release the same amount of dioxin and furan into the atmosphere as a well-controlled municipal waste incinerator serving thousands of residents, a recent study by the Environmental Protection Agency concludes. Dioxins and furans belong to a class of compounds known to have harmful effects on laboratory animals; it’s also believed they may pose serious dangers to humans. Burn barrels may also emit vapors, carcinogenic (cancer-causing) tars, and heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and chromium, as well as unhealthy levels of carbon dioxide. According to the EPA, open burning of household waste in barrels is potentially one of the largest sources of airborne dioxin and furan emissions in the United States.

The only acceptable materials to burn in a burn barrel are dry leaves, plant clippings, paper, cardboard and clean, untreated wood, that’s it; not garbage or plastic, not metals or petroleum products, not rubber, treated wood or asphalt. Burn barrels operate at low temperatures, 400-500 degrees F, resulting in incom-

Old wife’s tales Mary B. Olsen caught on quickly. There was a call for children to be in two-reelers and she was given a part. She was paid $10 a day, and could work four days for $40 a week.

There was a Depression, and her father’s position at the bank was faltering. Almost from that time on, Shirley was the breadwinner in the family. She rose to stardom, and worked in films with very few vacations from 1932 until 1950.

We might think of films as mysterious, and they are.

They are also a product of the work of many people.

Just look at the credits rolling after you view a film, and you can believe it is an industry, which is another word for work. It takes concentration to learn the parts and the physical requirements can be exacting. Gertrude was in charge, and Shirley enjoyed all of it and always tried to do her best. Her mother at first made her costumes, and then set her hair in 56 pin curls, each night, and before going to sleep, she read Shirley the script of the movie they were working on at the studio. Shirley would repeat her lines and fall asleep.

She always learned the lines of all the actors. The Temple family was very close. They were Presbyterian but didn’t take much time to go to church. Shirley loved her mother and did everything she was told to do.

She loved her father, who would often read to her and take her on his knee and sing songs in his high-pitched voice. She thought he had the voice of an angel. Shirley excelled at dancing and acrobatics, but she was not a great singer.

Shirley liked Will Rogers, and he died, and she liked Jean Harlow, and the pilot, Amelia Earhart. She met presidents and famous people and her special friend was Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. “Uncle Billy” and his wife, Fannie, were frequent guests at the Temples’ home when they were in California. Albert Einstein tried to explain his theory to Shirley once at Palm Springs.

She was tutored at the studio, but when she got out

Earth Notes Jen Barton plete combustion of the wastes being burned. The EPA shows that each pound of garbage burned emits twice as many furans, 20 times more dioxins and 40 times more particulates than if that same pound of garbage were burned in an incinerator with air pollution controls. Ash (particulates) can damage lungs, cause bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer, and can seriously affect people with asthma or certain allergies.

Debris burning is the No. 1 cause of fires in Wisconsin. The two most common problems with burn barrels causing wildfires is the lack of a lid and a barrel that is in such bad condition that the burning materials fall out of the sides. Before burning, why not consider more environmentally friendly options such as composting, recycling or brush piles for wildlife habitat.

of her contract she attended the Westlake School for Girls, from 1940 to 1945. During the war years she took part in many activities to sell bonds, and to visit the wounded in hospitals, and other community service.

She was always cheerful and polite.

Shirley grew up. The people who had believed she was a 30-year-old midget, well, they were wrong. She did some television, but actually gave up screen acting. She married John Agar in 1945. They had a baby girl, Linda. Shirley divorced Agar in 1950. He was an alcoholic and very argumentative, difficult to live with. Before her divorce was final she met Dr. Charles Alden Black, on a vacation in Hawaii. They fell in love and were married. He was called to service during the Korean War and they lived in Washington. They had two children, Charles and Lori. They were married 55 years until he passed away in 2005. Shirley’s mother, Gertrude, passed away in 1977, at the age of 84. Her father, George, died in 1980, at the age of 90.

Shirley was in public life from 1969 until 1992. She ran for office but was defeated. She kept on in many capacities. She was one of the founders of the Multiple Sclerosis Society because her brother, George, suffered from it. She worked for the United Nations, and in 1974, President Ford appointed her Ambassador to Ghana. There were protests and unfavorable comments in the press. When asked, Shirley said pertly, she knew that Ghana produced a great part of the world’s chocolate, and she loved chocolate. The country near the equator is a matriarchy, and Shirley would stroll to the market just like the women living there and she entertained dignitaries and American investors at the embassy. The newspaper, Ghanaian Times, wrote that she was “a capable, wonderful person who is determined to work for the good of others.” She returned home to work as Ford’s chief of protocol.

Movies were not as important after television came along. Shirley Temple became an inspiration for us, and following generations who see her films on television will probably not understand what she meant to us. Her biographers say Shirley, with her purity and innocence, could solve the problems and despairs of people’s lives, and that incorruptible good and spunky self-reliance can triumph over any evil.

Shirley wrote her autobiography, “Child Star,” in 1988. She passed away Feb. 10, 2014, at the age of 85.

She left us with the films and her star has barefoot imprints and handprints in cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Students learn the immigration process SPOONER - After reading and researching about Ellis Island and the immigration process to America, Spooner Elementary School fourth-grade students participated in a simulated version of what the Ellis Island trip would look like including lots of wait time, long lines and crowded spaces.

Students traveled through registration, medical exams, interviews where they were spoken to in foreign languages and

some were even deported. Students then wrote letters to their homeland about their experiences.

The fourth-grade team wrapped everything up with Housni Kabdi and Maria Nelson sharing their experiences as firstgeneration immigrants in America. Overall, students walked away with a very authentic learning experience. — from Spooner Area School District

Spooner wrestlers battle at a very tough conference tournament

SUPERIOR – The Spooner Rails wrestling team competed in the Heart O’North Conference wrestling tournament held in Superior, Saturday, Feb. 6.

At 120, Blake Larson placed fourth. Larson had a very difficult bracket. “This was the best I’ve seen Blake wrestle,” commented head coach Caleb Melton. Larson won his first match 5-0. In his second match, Larson lost in overtime against a tough state wrestler from Barron. Larson was pinning this opponent for third place but got rolled through. Larson finished with a fourth place overall.

Chase Melton, 138, had a very close first match, however, he was able to come up with a big win with a finish of 8-7.

Chase had another close match against Cumberland but wrestled very well and finished with a win of 8-4. This put him in the finals. Chase faced an opponent from Bloomer who is ranked first in the

state. Chase went after him and gave his all, however, he got pinned in the third period. Chase took second for the day, which is big for a freshman.

Josh Melton, 145, had a very solid weight class. Josh lost his first match to Bloomer. In his second match, Josh was able to pin his Cumberland opponent.

Josh wrestled Northwestern for his third match. He was able to get close this match as he lost to the same opponent by a tech fall a couple of days before. Josh finished the day with a solid win and took fifth overall.

Brandon Jepson, 152, pinned his first opponent, from Chetek. His second match he faced a wrestler from Northwestern who he lost to a couple of days prior.

Jepson showed great improvement but lost a very close match 2-4. He then went on to pin a Cumberland wrestler for his third match. He finished the day beating

Bloomer 11-2 and finished with a solid third.

Bryce Carroll, 160, started his day pinning his Hayward opponent. For his second match he faced a very tough Barron wrestler and lost 3-13. Carroll faced Northwestern for his third match. He lost to Northwestern a couple of days earlier by a major decision. Carroll showed great improvement and he kept the match very close. Carroll finished with a solid fourth place.

Samuel Melton, 170, lost his first match to a very solid wrestler from Bloomer.

He faced Hayward for his second match.

Samuel had previously beaten the Hayward wrestler at the Shell Lake Challenge.

Samuel got caught in a throw and came up short this time. Samuel’s third match was very close, losing to Chetek by two.

Samuel finished in sixth place.

Garett Borelli, 182, faced Barron and

got caught in a throw, losing by a pin. For Borelli’s second match he got pinned by Chetek. Borelli was able to face Barron again for his third match. He wrestled much better and was able to come up with a big pin. Borelli placed fifth overall.

Josh Carroll, 195, came ready to wrestle.

His first match, Josh pinned his Northwestern opponent. In Josh’s second match he faced a Hayward wrestler who he had lost to in the beginning of the season.

Things were much different this time and Josh won by a pin. Josh wrestled in the finals facing a very tough Bloomer wrestler. He wrestled really well, however, got caught in a throw. Josh finished in second place which is a great accomplishment for a freshman. — from Spooner Wrestling

Icemen ice-time action RIVER FALLS/MENOMONIE - The Northwest Icemen, varsity and junior varsity traveled to River Falls on Friday night, Feb. 5. In the first game, JV, the Icemen lost 7-1. The Icemen got off to a slow start and couldn’t recover. A coach said, “Not only were we not mentally ready to play but to compound that we end up trying to play like a group of individuals instead of the solid team play that has been pretty consistent most of the second half of this season. There wasn’t a lot of Icemen highlights from the game.”

In the second, varsity, game, the Icemen skated to a 2-all tie. The team played very well from the drop of the puck even though they are still missing key players due to injuries. It was a very exciting game that included solid goaltending and the Icemen for the most part controlling the play and outshooting their opponent. The game went to overtime and to salvage the tie the Icemen needed to kill a five-minute major penalty during the eight-minute overtime. With no scoring in the OT, the game ended 2-2.

After a late-night bus trip home from River Falls on Friday night, the Icemen traveled to Menomonie for a 7 p.m. start Saturday night. The Icemen ended up losing to a very good Menomonie team 4-2 with the final goal an empty net with the goalkeeper pulled for the extra skater. The Icemen played a second good game in a row; the very exciting contest found the Icemen down two goals in the first before battling back to tie the game at 2 as they headed into the third. “It was a great effort by all of our players on back-

to-back nights,” commented an Icemen coach. It is perfect timing as the Icemen play the final four games of the regular season, all at home in Barron, this week, Monday, Feb. 8, Tuesday, Feb. 9, Thursday, Feb. 11, and Friday, Feb. 12, before playoffs. Thursday is Senior Night and the final game on Friday is Military Appreciation Night. — from Icemen

New Ventures Garden Seminar set for March 19 MINONG - Intriguing temptations aka plants, landscape renovation, hydrangeas and gardening wisdom, will headline the 16th-annual New Ventures Garden Seminar on Saturday, March 19, at Northwood School in Minong.

Reservations are being taken for the seminar, which will feature four inspiring and informative presentations, including two by Debbie Lonnee, who works with breeders around the world to bring new plants to Bailey Nurseries, plus vendors, exhibits and plenty of camaraderie.

The seminar will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with registration and vendor sales beginning at 8:45 a.m. New Ventures is hosted by the Spooner Garden Club, North Country Master Gardener Volunteers and Northwood Community Education.

Topics Here are the four topics that will be covered: Hydrangeas for the North, by Debbie Lonnee. Hydrangeas are the most popular shrub in the United States. What species and varieties work best in northern gardens? This presentation will cover many of the popular hydrangeas used in gardens today plus site placement, pruning techniques and tips for success in growing this beautiful group of plants.

New Plants for Northern Gardens, by Debbie Lonnee. Trees, shrubs, roses, perennials, annuals, hundreds of new varieties have been introduced over the last five to 10 years. What are the best varieties for northern gardeners? Where do these varieties come from and how do we know they work in northern gardens? Find out about the best of the newest.

Renovating a Home Landscape: An Approach to Solving Problems and Building a Dream Landscape in a Limited Space,

by Julie Weisenhorn. This is an unusual opportunity, a chance to see a landscape-

design project from start to finish and how it has matured over five years. University of Minnesota Extension educator Julie Weisenhorn will present her own landscape renovation from the redesign through the actual rebuild, highlight specific plants that succeeded and failed and explore how she managed challenges, surprises and wishes. Landscape components include a phased-in approach, new paved walks and terraced walls, incorporation of edibles, a rain garden that was built not once, but twice, and a pollinator safe haven, all in an 80-by-80-foot residential property. She also will demonstrate her new plant selection program that everyone can use to help choose new plants.

Sharing Wisdom Gained through Experience. Greenhouse and nursery staff, especially the owners, are treasure troves of information, through their own hands-on experience and through the research they have done over the years that enables them to answer the hundreds of questions that pop up over a gardening season.

Dean Faulhaber of Wood River Garden Store near Grantsburg will answer a potpourri of questions that he hears often.

Questions also can be submitted for him to consider answering. They can be emailed to gardenseminar@centurylink. net or sent in with the seminar registration by Friday, March 4.

Biographies Lonnee spent the first 13 years of her career managing a large Twin Cities garden center. For the last 24 years she has worked at Bailey Nurseries, starting as a production coordinator working primarily with the perennial and bedding plant crops, as well as roses and woody plants. She was promoted to manager of the planning and administration department in 2006 and in January 2015 became the product development manager, responsible for Bailey’s new breeding farm

in Georgia and working with breeders around the world, bringing new plants to Bailey brands.

An avid gardener, she has a collector’s garden full of perennials and many new annuals. She is a member of the Perennial Plant Association and just finished her last two years as Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association past president and 16 years on the board of directors. Her work as an MNLA volunteer started over 30 years ago, and she recently was inducted into the MNLA Hall of Fame, the first woman to join that prestigious group of volunteers. Garden writing is her second job. She is the horticultural editor for Northern Gardener magazine and writes the Plant to Pick article for each edition.

She is a co-author of “Growing Perennials in Cold Climates” and “Growing Shrubs and Small Trees in Cold Climates.” Both books have been revised and updated.

Weisenhorn holds a master’s degree in both visual communication and horticulture. She taught landscape design courses from 2002 to 2007 and served as state director of the Extension Master Gardener Program from 2007 to 2014. Since 2014 she has been a full-time Extension educator in horticulture, providing outreach education on various Extension horticulture topics with a special focus on plant selection and sustainable landscape design.

She lives in Mound, Minn., and experiments in her own backyard with smallspace landscape design, and, as she says, she “just can’t say no to a new plant.”

Faulhaber has a degree in horticulture, and he interned at the local nursery where he also met his wife, Sue, who shares his passion and has a lifetime of hands-on experience in the floral and garden store business. Together they market-gardened for several years while he spent 20 years in retail corporate life. In 2001, Sue partnered with her best friend, Donna Chell, and purchased Village Floral & Gifts in

Grantsburg. One year later, Wood River Garden Store was purchased, and Dean has been managing the store, now in its 14th year.

“I have also managed to discover how little a person knows, how many things a person hasn’t done, and how vast and ever-changing this industry is!” Dean said. “As humbling as all this is, I love the challenge and persist on walking the walk. All of the experimentation, trials and failures have really helped me to discover the limits of the amazing choices we can grow in this area. I am excited to humbly share what we have learned and discovered along the way growing our business!”

Registration Preregistration is required by mailing in $16, which includes all sessions, lunch and snacks, with name, phone number and address to Northwood School Community Ed, N14463 Hwy. 53, Minong, WI 54859. Checks must be written out to Northwood School.

As is the tradition at the seminar, 4- by 6-inch or 8- by 10-inch photos of plants, area gardens and visited gardens are welcome and will be displayed during the event. Attendees are invited to send photos with their registration, not emailed in, along with the photographer’s name and a description of the photo. The snapshots can be retrieved after the seminar if desired.

Vendors with any kind of garden-related products or exhibiters with related information are invited, too. People love to shop at the seminar, the event’s organizers said.

More information about the seminar, vending or exhibiting can be learned from (preferably) Julie Hustvet, gardenseminar@centurylink.net, or from Northwood School, 715-466-2297. – submitted

Sunday, February 14, 2016 First Sunday In Lent iquid gold” is a hot black-market commodity “L of the streets these days. With rising prices and shrinking incomes, people are becoming very creative in

making ends meet. One new industry is stealing Tide - the popular laundry detergent.

Last year, police in Maryland broke up a crime ring that was stealing Tide and taking it to a nail salon that was buying the detergent and then reselling it to stores in other countries. Thieves would fill up their shopping carts with the product and then run for the exit doors.

Tide became the cleaning agent of choice because it is such a popular brand and has high resale value. It is used by homes in all countries no matter their income bracket - upper, middle or lower. One police detective told The Daily, “It’s the item to steal.”

We use cleaning products to get soil out of clothes and soap to get our bodies clean, but they will not cleanse our hearts from sin. In fact, when David asked for God’s “cleansing” for his sins, he used the word “purge” which means un-sin me - purify me - from my uncleanness. He was so disturbed by the guilt he felt from the sins he committed that he used a word that was often used to describe the cleansing of a leper’s house. He wanted God to know he was serious and desperate for his cleansing.

Look at his words closely: “blot out,” “wash,” “cleanse me,” “hide your face from me.” These words enable us to understand how much he wanted God’s forgiveness. His cry for forgiveness opens the curtain of his soul where we see a heart that was broken by sin, a mind deeply troubled because of sin, the solution for the removal of sin and his need for God’s approval.

What an example David set for every one of us.

CUMBERLAND - Eric Muench, of Louie’s Finer Meats, Cumberland, recently graduated from the fourth Master Meat Crafter training program held at the DoubleTree Hotel in Madison on Jan. 22.

Sausage makers, meat industry leaders, university representatives, and Wisconsin state government officials from across the state gathered to recognize Muench and 24 other deserving individuals as Master Meat Crafters. Eric is now the fourth Muench to accomplish this goal following in the footsteps of Louie, William and Louis K. Muench.

The Master Meat Crafter training program was developed in conjunction with the Specialty Meat Development Center of Wisconsin and is supported by the University of Wisconsin Meat Science Exten-

sion, University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, and the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors. The goals of the program are to provide participants with well-rounded, in-depth, and comprehensive knowledge about meat science/ meat processing principles; provide development opportunities for the future meat industry leaders; and help ensure the Wisconsin and U.S. meat industry remains strong and viable for years to come.

With an immeasurable amount of time, hard work and dedication, 63 statewide candidates have now successfully completed the Master Meat Crafter two-year program and received the distinction of a Master Meat Crafter, a master of their craft. — from Louie’s Finer Meats

Congratulations.

Talking with Myrna Atkinson, she is still working on the baby quilt. Baby isn’t due until March. Myrna is also sewing the binding on the teapot quilt the group just finished. What are they going to do with the quilt? Well, Myrna says it will be decided by the members of the quilting gang. She says the next quilt will be a barn, which sounds very nice.

Tuesday found Diane Hulleman at Shell Lake Schools helping. Saturday her friend, Robin, called to see if she was busy and of course, Diane told her no. Diane baked a huge batch of rolls and a couple of pies and headed for Prairie Farm for a benefit for Darlene who has cancer. Diane tells us they had so much for this benefit and it was very well attended. Darlene is only 50 years old. Robin’s mom won a beautiful quilt.

Marv Knoop tells us there are a lot of cars going down to Bashaw Lake to wet those lines. He says the ice is about 14

inches thick.

Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase, Morgan and Joyel spent the weekend at the Crosbys’ and Coyours’. Sunday, Sunshine Crosby had a big birthday blast for her honey, Tom. Tom tells her he had to have it on Super Sunday. Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Tom. Butch and Loretta VanSelus attended the funeral for Connie Boyer, 69, Siren.

Connie had cancer. Our sympathy to the family.

Penny Ladd tells us the family attended the wrestling in Spooner on Friday night with Remington wrestling. Rem got a first and he was so proud.

At Evelyn Melton’s on Sunday were Peggy Vesta and Vicki Trott and a friend.

All four enjoyed playing cards.

When you hear “America the Beautiful” what comes to your mind? It fills me with great gratitude every time I hear it.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Pauline Lawrence many more to come.

Get-well wishes go out to Jack Hulleman as he had knee surgery in December and is now home recuperating. Steve Hulleman goes down every night and fills Jack’s furnace up so he keeps warm. Jack is going to have the other knee replaced in February at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake. Please keep Jack in your special thoughts and prayers.

We certainly had a snowstorm last week. Yes, I think I got a good 6 inches. It blew and blew and made driving difficult.

Schools closed around 2 p.m. that day and Wednesday they started late.

Hear Darren and Kim Sahlstrom have moved to Tennessee. I guess the job situation is better there. Darren already has a job. We wish them well.

I forgot to mention last week that Matt and Crystal Albee Potter have adopted a 2-year-old girl from China. According to Grandpa Howard, “she’s the sweetest little thing!” The Potters also have two sons.

Grandparents are Howard and Darlene

Our weather was cooler on Monday. We’ve had snow showers all night and it is still snowing lightly.

The Super Bowl is over with Denver winning. They played a good game.

Pastor Sue was here for Bible study last Tuesday.

On Saturday morning, my son, Tim, and his two sonsin-law, Dustin and Cory, stopped in to see me on their

instead of cake.

Sue and Larry Winner vacationed in Tucson, Ariz., for a short time.

Not much news this week. Residents are well.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers his wife’s birthday but never remembers her age.

Earl and Dorothy Semm, Rice Lake, have moved to Woodstone Senior Living. We wish them much happiness in their new home.

Sunday, Roger Nielsen and wife Vicki introduced Jeff and Becca Chartier of the Roost to Danish open-faced sandwiches. They learned the art of evenly spreading butter on thin slices of soft bread and finishing with an imaginative array of toppings arranged to please the eye and palate. Jeff and Becca plan on having a special Danish dinner at the Roost on April 16 in celebration of the queen of Denmark’s birthday. Write that date on your calendar.

Sympathy to Vicki Gee-Treft in the death of her 83-year-old mom who passed away Sunday in California. She was so glad they went to see her when they did.

Ryan, Jessie, Jillian and Jax flew to Phoenix, Ariz., a week ago Saturday and stayed with Ryan’s cousin, Mike Durand, and family. They rented a car and drove to the Grand Canyon and on to Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam. Jessie’s mom lives near Vegas, as does Sherri’s mom, Gerri, and husband Bob. So they had a great time with them while there. Ryan and Jessie also took in the World Concrete Convention in Vegas while there.

Saturday, my brother, Don Shoquist, went with me and Bonnie Helmer to the Earl church for their Triple Treat.

We met sisters Nell Lee and Sharon Wilber and husband Merle there. The soups were luscious, lots of crafts and choices of pies to buy. Nancy Furchtenicht and granddaughter Arianne attended, joining Ralph and Arlene VanMeter for the soup lunch.

On Tuesday, Feb. 2, we got about 8 inches of fairly fluffy snow here. We missed the heavy stuff that went to the south. We didn’t feel bad about that. Mild temps took care of some of it, but we’ve had snow showers since.

Sunday night a few more inches fell. Enough so we know it’s still winter. Keep the feeders filled, birds are counting on you.

This week it was all about Super Bowl 50 and the commercials. Sunday evening Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht came down to visit and watched the first half with me.

Anton and Gloria Frey attended her Rice Lake Class of 1949 luncheon at the Wagon Wheel in Brill Monday, Feb. 1, at noon. Bob Millard, Chetek, stopped by the Freys to visit and have coffee on Wednesday. On Saturday night, the Freys went to daughter Jan’s, and Jeff Johnston’s for supper. Otherwise they have been just hanging out at home.

Virginia Stodola said she had a good day on Friday and got a lot done but felt it on Saturday. Son David and Cathy, Hudson, were up and took her for her hair appointment, then to Economart for lunch and groceries and then to the doctor for her shot. That’s enough to tire any kid out.

Joe and Debbie Elbe, Rice Lake, visited Elfreda West on Sunday. Libbie DeTrent spent five days in Chicago babysitting granddaughters Hazel, 8, and Vivian, 5. Their dad, Brian Krumm, was on a business trip to Boston and their mom, Libbie’s daughter, Laura, was changing jobs to a banking and investment firm. Sam and Libbie had neighbors in on Sunday night for a Super Bowl party that included Gene and Carlotta Romsos, Mary Thorstenson, Doug and Sandi Rudolph, Chuck and Sonia Scarf, Dale and Liz Minder, Lyal and Anne Drake, Don and Lorna Kology and Dr. Luke F. and Rachel Burke.

Marilyn Zimmerman attended the 40th wedding anniversary for John and Diane Olsen, friends from Haugen. It was held at the Country Inn last Saturday. Belated wishes to them.

On Saturday, Alan and Charlotte Ross had their daughter, Nancy Troyan and son-in-law Mike, from Eau Claire, up to visit for the day and enjoy a duck dinner. Said they worked sorting old fruit jars that were her mother’s.

Some were pretty old.

Roger Nielsen and wife Vicki Gee-Treft returned last week from a two-week road trip west. She visited her mom in the Los Angeles area who had fallen recently and broken a hip and wasn’t doing very well. They enjoyed the mountains and warmer weather. Report an excellent trip.

A speedy recovery for Fritz Mancl who had some corrective foot surgery in Eau Claire recently.

Yea, the Super Bowl is finally over!

Now we can get back to the important things in life that we had before Thursday night football took over. Like “Big Bang Theory,” for example.

Did you watch the game? When neither the Packers nor the Vikings are playing it doesn’t interest me too much. We did watch it though, and I was very happy that Denver won. Peyton Manning seems like such a nice, normal young man and it sounds as though this will be his last year playing. Nice to end his career on such a happy note. And, Cam Newton is young and will have a few years to try for a Super Bowl victory yet. He seemed to need a humbling experience anyway.

I was very disappointed in the commercials. That’s the main reason I watch the game. Budweiser used to have the most fantastic commercials and this year they were awful, except the last one where Helen Mirren gave people who drink and drive a piece of her mind. And, of course, the one about the inept bank robbers who steal one of those little gas/electric cars.

That was pretty funny. The rest were just about as exciting as the game.

Oh, Duane read something about the Super Bowl in the paper. Seems that there was a man who had seats in the nosebleed section for the game and as he was looking around he spied an empty seat about four rows up from the field right on the 50-yard line. Well, he couldn’t believe there would be an empty seat, so he walked down to see what was going on.

There was an old guy sitting in the seat next to the empty one, and the young man asked why that seat was empty. The old man said, “Well, my wife and I have been to every Super Bowl game since 1967.”

The other man asked where his wife was, and the old man’s eyes misted over a bit and he said, “She passed away.” The younger man said how sorry he was, and said that it was too bad that there were no friends or relatives who could have accompanied him to the game and used the seat. The old guy replied, “They couldn’t come. They were all at the funeral.”

On to other things.

Lent starts this week, you know. This week, Ash Wednesday, the Barronett Lutheran kids will be serving a spaghetti supper before the Ash Wednesday service.

They will start serving at 5:30 p.m., and the service will start at 7 p.m. The women of Barronett Lutheran are going to be helping with the cooking and serving this year, too. Peg Thompson, the youth group leader, and all of the kids work very hard every year to make the spaghetti supper delicious and fun, so please join us and enjoy the great food, good conversation, and the Ash Wednesday service.

For the rest of the Lenten season, we will be having a soup and sandwich lunch starting at 6 p.m. and then the Lenten service starting at 7 p.m. every Wednesday evening. We hope you will join us for those lunches and services.

Art Adams called and told me that I forgot to tell you about one incident that happened during our visit to Florida. As soon as Duane and I got to Punta Gorda, Art and Jill asked me when I was going to make cookies. Well, Donna is a great cook, but doesn’t bake at all so there were no supplies at their house. So, on our way back to their house from one of our many outings, I stopped by the grocery store to pick stuff up. I had the flour, two kinds of sugar, baking soda, chocolate chips,

butter, vanilla and nuts in the cart. All I needed was some eggs. So I parked the cart at the end of an aisle, walked about four steps to pick up the eggs, walked back to where I had left the cart and it wasn’t there! Someone must have inadvertently taken my cart thinking it was their own. So l had to go through the store again and pick everything up. I can just see what happened when the other person got up to the checkout — chocolate chips? I didn’t pick up chocolate chips!

And probably the same reaction to all the rest of the stuff. Does this kind of thing happen to other people, or am I just the only lucky one? Anyway, I did get the cookies made, and then found out that neither Art nor Jill like nuts in their cookies. Groan. I just can’t win.

Bill Gill called on Saturday evening and asked if we were hungry. I told him that we were just having some sandwiches and invited him over. He said that he was thinking about cheese and raisin ravioli, and that he had all the ingredients he needed to make them if we wanted some.

He said that he would come over and we could make them together. Well, I have never in my life even attempted to make a homemade noodle, but I figured that if Bill could do it anyone could. Sorry, Bill.

So he came and he had all kinds of stuff — semolina flour, eggs, parsley, cheese and, of course, raisins. Oh, and grapefruit juice and tequila. He showed me how to make the pasta, and I rolled it out and he filled it, sealed it and put it in the liquid to boil.

It was delicious. Duane and I didn’t try the tequila, but the grapefruit juice was very good. Bill said he acquired a taste for it during his trip to Mexico, so he had just a bit with his juice.

Bill had been on a trip to Mexico with his niece, Jody, and her kids at the same time we were in Florida. He said he had a wonderful time. He hired a cab to take him all over the place, and met all kinds of people including some farmers. He is already planning another trip down

to visit with the people he made friends with while he was there.

The Red Brick Café was pretty busy Sunday morning, so Duane and I got out the Cribbage board while we waited for our breakfast. It came pretty fast, by the way. We didn’t even get two games finished. Anyway, while we were playing, another customer walked over to the table and watched while we played a hand. He is from just south of Comstock, and he said that he had been in a tournament in Deer Park this past week. We chatted for a while, and then he went back to his table.

Well, Duane was dealing and I got a hand that could have been great two different ways. I turned around and asked the man what he would do and he pointed out the two cards to throw that I had kind of already decided on. Well, I was accused of cheating (jokingly) and what was even worse is that I lost the game anyway. If you are a Cribbage player and like to pass the time that way while waiting for your food, just ask any of the waitresses for the board and they will bring it to you.

I hadn’t heard from the friendly neighborhood moocher for quite a while, and he called me this week with a joke that he had told Pastor Todd. I have decided to wait until next week to tell you that though, because this is starting to turn into a book already.

I am very sorry to report that Dean Jerry passed away on Feb. 2. Dean grew up right here in Barronett, raised his children here, and worked most of his adult life at the welding shop between Cumberland and Barronett. He was engaged to Shayla Nesson, and was highly regarded by her entire family. He was a wonderful young man, and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Please keep Dean’s family in your prayers as they go through this time of sorrow.

That’s all I know from Barronett this week. Hope to see you Wednesday evening at the spaghetti supper and Ash Wednesday service.

Washburn County Area Humane Society I know what you’re thinking; but it is not true, I’m really not grumpy and I am not blue.

I’m actually quite cheerful, a happy young cat, And all who have met me will verify that.

I am very quiet, but when I am out, I like to explore, that’s what cats are about.

If you want to please me, I’ll give you a tip, My two favorite things are moist food and catnip.

Perhaps that could be how they chose my new name, I light up like “Sparkles” that dance in a flame.

I hope you’ll come meet me; I’m not hard to find, Because I have a face that is one of a kind.

OFFICE OF THE WASHBURN COUNTY CLERK TO THE ELECTORS OF WASHBURN COUNTY: Notice is hereby given of a spring primary election to be held in the various municipalities of Washburn County on the 16th of February, 2016, at which the officers named below shall be nominated. The names of the candidates for each office, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, for a referendum, if any, in the sample ballot below.

INFORMATION TO ELECTORS Upon entering the polling place, an elector shall state his or her name and address and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If an elector is not registered to vote, an elector may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence, if the elector presents proof of residence in a form specified by law. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

Where Paper Ballots are Used The elector shall make a cross (X) in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square next to “no” if opposed to the question.

Where Touch Screen Voting is Used, The elector shall touch the screen next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the elector shall touch the screen next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall touch the screen next to “no” if opposed to the question.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

If the elector spoils a paper ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot and promptly leave the polling place.

The elector may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

After Marking the Ballot After an official paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors’ initials on the outside do show. The elector shall deposit the voted ballot in the ballot box, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit, and shall leave the polling place promptly.

After an official touch screen ballot is cast, the elector shall leave the polling place promptly.

An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the elector.

The following is a sample of the official ballots:
