Rice Lake man sentenced for two local bank robberies Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The Rice Lake man who committed the 2014 robberies of the Shell Lake State Bank in Stone Lake and Bremer Bank in Danbury was sentenced to 114 months in federal prison on Wednesday, Jan. 6.

Kyle Langner, 24, Rice Lake, pleaded guilty to the Stone Lake and Danbury bank robberies in October of 2015. Lang-

ner was also ordered to pay $14,171 in restitution.

The Stone Lake branch of the Shell Lake State Bank was robbed by two armed gunmen on May 2, 2014. The Bremer Bank in Danbury was robbed by a lone gunman on May 28, 2014. Then the Sterling Bank in Rice Lake was robbed by a lone, armed gunman on July 16, 2014.

Langner was arrested by law enforcement in connection with the robberies

after Jessie Sweeter, Langer’s half brother, had confessed to robbing Shell Lake State Bank and Sterling Bank. Sweeter was sentenced to 114 months in federal prison.

Thirty months of Langer’s and Sweeter’s imprisonment is for bank robbery with seven consecutive years imprisonment for brandishing a firearm during a bank robbery. They are both currently serving sentences in state prison, that run at the same as these charges, for robbing

gas stations in Eau Claire.

A third man, Ricky White, is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 23 in connection with the bank robberies.

All three convictions are the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the sheriff’s offices of Barron, Sawyer and Washburn counties and the Rice Lake Police Department.

Few contests in area spring elections

Filings close for most nominations

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer NORTHWEST WISCONSIN – The spring election filing period for nomination papers for the Tuesday, April 5, spring election ended Tuesday, Jan. 5. A general observation across the elections for county boards, school boards and some of the municipalities in Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties is how few elections will be contested. In race after race, incumbents are not being challenged, and open seats have drawn only a single candidate. In seven contests, no candidate filed and write-in candidates will fill the

positions. And across the three counties, there are only two February primary contests. Candidates are still being selected in the 14 municipalities that make nominations at caucuses in January.

The 2016 election is for all county board seats, a third of the seats on school boards and positions on village and city councils plus four town boards. There are 57 county board seats being filled and only 10 of those races are contested. Areawide, only four school boards out of 19 districts serving the area have contested elections.

Nine cities and villages use nomination papers to place candidates on the ballot, and only three of the nine places will have contests. Across much of the three-county area, the only contest on April 5 will be the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Most county board supervisors, 37 of the 57, are running unopposed for reelection, including nine of 21 in Washburn County, nine of 15 in Polk County, and 19 of 21 in Burnett County. There are eight candidates running without opposition for open seats where the incumbents are retiring. And in Washburn County, there are two districts with no names on the ballot.

The only school board contests in the area are in Clear Lake, Unity, Webster, Spooner and Birchwood. The Spooner election involves a February primary.

In contrast to those five contests, three area districts, St. Croix Falls, Luck and Rice Lake, have blank ballot spots that will be filled by write-ins.

The only contested municipal elections

so far are in St. Croix Falls and Dresser in Polk County and Shell Lake in Washburn County. The 14 January caucuses could add more contested elections.

The exception to the norm The city of Shell Lake in Washburn County is the exception to the quiet election story. Shell Lake residents will have a write-in contest in one ward where a single candidate filed for the two open seats and a primary in the other ward where five candidates filed for the two seats. In addition, the mayor is facing a challenger who is also on the ballot for one of the council seats. There is at least one story for the spring election.

Addition of Spooner Police Department’s K-9 close at hand Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER - The addition of a K-9 officer on the Spooner Police Department could happen as soon as February according to Spooner Police Chief Jerry Christman. The news comes in light of the department’s getting approval for a new squad car during the regular monthly meeting of the Spooner City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 5.

With the approved purchase of an additional squad car, a 2016 Dodge Charger, the department will be able to outfit the department’s other squad car to be the dedicated K-9 vehicle.

Since June 2015 the department has been fundraising to cover the $33,000 cost to bring a K-9 onto the force. The new

squad purchase was budgeted for 2016 and offset by $8,000 in funds which were raised through the department’s K-9 campaign.

The department plans to utilize a Labrador K-9 unit for drug detection, patrol work, missing or lost people and for public demonstrations. This is the first time the department will have a K-9 unit.

Christman said officers plan to attend a K-9 training in St. Paul, Minn., in March and estimates that the K-9 could be delivered by February, in time for the training, but nothing has been promised.

In other city council actions two amendments to the city code were approved. The first code amendment, unanimously approved by the council, had to do with the use of electric generators.

“The primary reason we are doing this is to ensure our utility workers are safe,” said Bill Marx, city administrator. He explained that when a power outage occurs an improperly hooked up generator can send power back into the city’s line, posing a serious risk for utility workers.

The code amendment requires a permit for generator use on city utility lines and gives the city a means to enforce the requirement.

“Right now we’ve asked the police to help on a couple of situations when we had no ordinance that they could actually do anything, and now we will,” said Marx. By unanimous consent the council directed city personnel to include information on the new code amendment in the next city utility bill to make sure all

Spooner residents would have notice of the change.

Another situation that resulted in the need to amend a city code occurred about a month ago. Marx told the council that a person was trying to regulate traffic by posting a traffic sign on a city street sign.

The police department came to Marx for help with the issue “and that’s when it was discovered there was no existing code for such an issue,” said Marx.

The amended code prohibits the posting of signs in the right of way and gives the city means to enforce the ordinance.

The council approved the code amendment on a unanimous voice vote.

Spooner School Board to select candidate for vacant seat Danielle Danford | Staff reporter SPOONER- The Spooner School Board convened in a special meeting on Monday evening, Jan. 11, to select the candidate who will fill the vacant seat on the board.

The candidates for the open position were James Dienstl, Myles Macone, Nathaniel Melton, Chad Gibson and

William Skidmore. Due to meeting conflicts, the article detailing board’s ultimate candidate selection will be posted on the Washburn County Register ’s website,wcregisteronline.com.

Regardless of who is appointed, that person will only hold the seat until April because all elected positions filled by appointment must be listed on the next elec-

tion ballot for the positions remaining term. This position has one year left in its term.

Looking toward the coming election, there will be 10 candidates for two positions on the Spooner School Board.

The second position is for current board member Robert Hoellen’s seat, as he did not file candidacy papers.

Because there are so many candidates, a primary election will be held in February to narrow the field of candidates to six.

Those six candidates will be listed on the April election ballot. The two candidates with the most votes will get fullterm positions. The candidate with the third most votes will get the one-year term, the appointment.

“Mischaracterization” of faculty prompts response by school SPOONER - The Spooner Area School District Board of Education released the following statement: Members of the Board of Education wish to express concerns about some recent community members’ actions discrediting our school staff, superintendent and leadership team. In November, a group called Families United for Spooner Excellence released a video stating that our new staff were “bottom of the barrel,” “you get what you pay for” and “they aren’t able to be hired in other districts.”

It is disappointing that any of our staff or leaders would have their personal or professional reputations tarnished within our community or through social media efforts. We appreciate the time and talent all of our staff dedicate to our students and our community.

FUSE’s Jan. 4 press release, citing lack of confidence in leadership, places blame and sole responsibility on our district leader for decisions that have been made publicly and with much board discussion. The board works cooperatively with the superintendent and leadership team to accomplish goals and meet expectations. No decision is made in isolation and the board appreciates the diligence of our leadership team to provide us with

necessary information before we take action. Below, you’ll find a brief list of dates and meetings where board discussion occurred and board members voted on topics outlined by FUSE. Records of board votes and recordings of board meetings are available on the district’s website at spooner.k12.wi.us.

If unfounded negativity continues, we are concerned it will affect retention of our highly dedicated and professional staff and result in no greater solutions for our situation. The board has more difficult decisions ahead. As individual diverse leaders in the community, we strive to do what we believe is in the best interest of moving forward.

In response to levy SASD was 1 of 68 public school districts that over-levied their resident taxpayers from $1 to $379,332.00 in 2015. SASD was not fined or penalized for the over levy. A total of 116 public school districts underlevied their resident taxpayers from $1 to $12,808,141 in 2015.

In response to attorney’s fees $78,878.76 has been spent on legal fees from July 2014 through December 2015.

Some of the topics addressed include outdated or insufficient contracts with

vendors, bus contract, SAVE Academy, employee contracts and wage agreements, rewriting of employee handbook, records requests, compliance issues, outstanding liquidated damages of employees, board communications on legal matters, student pre-expulsion hearings, petition to expand the board, special education laws, alleged open meeting violations, organized pub-

lic assemblies on school property, etc. The district does not expect several items to be recurring expenses. For example, the legal fees associated with SAVE Academy were $17,086.50, or 22 percent, of the cost thus far. — from SASD

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tyranny

When President Obama was sworn into office, he pledged to defend the Constitution and see that the laws duly passed were faithfully executed. The Constitution established a separation of powers between legislative, executive and judicial branches. This was put in place by the founders to ensure that no one person or group would obtain excessive power and thus institute a tyranny.

What we have seen the last seven years is Obama assuming more and more power. He has issued executive orders imposing what he wants despite the opposition of majorities in Congress and in

the general public. He has disregarded laws that the Congress has passed and he himself has signed by failing to enforce them or changing them on the fly.

He has overstepped his powers as limited by the Constitution. An example of this is his attempt to bring terrorist prisoners of Gitmo to the U.S., despite laws passed earlier that state that this is prohibited.

What people don’t realize is that Hillary Clinton is already promising to outdo Obama in issuing executive orders and in ignoring Constitutional limits. On Clinton’s website are listed areas she will act unilaterally if Congress won’t act to her

satisfaction. These include stricter gun control, immigration reform, campaign finance reform including disclosure of donors and restrictions on corporate inversions. Why not instead institute tax reform that allows U.S. corporations to fairly compete with foreign corporations?

She will have executive bureaus impose these changes despite the fact that there are not laws to allow her to do this and, in fact, many laws prohibit these kinds of impositions by an all-powerful executive.

In 2008, when campaigning for the presidency, Hillary made the following statements aimed at George Bush, “I

think you have to restore the checks and balances and the separation of powers which means reining in this presidency,” and “This administration’s unbridled ambition to transform the executive into an imperial presidency in an attempt to strengthen the office has weakened our nation.” What a hypocrite this woman is. Do we want another president like Obama that governs by diktat? We need someone with integrity that tells the truth.

Hillary Clinton fails on both counts.

Be careful of traps The story in the newspaper about the dog who lost part of its foot because of a trap brought back vivid memories of Christmas Day 2011 when we were snowshoeing on the Timberland Hills snowshoe trail in Barron County. Our dog, a Lab mix weighing 35 pounds, was happily running between Dale and me when she suddenly disappeared. We heard one yelp. We looked for her for, perhaps, three

minutes and found her caught in a metal small animal trap, technically called a conibear trap. With all of our adrenalineinduced strength the two of us could not open the jaws of the trap. We watched our family pet suffocate. During the terrible ordeal Dale stepped into another trap, which closed on his snowshoe. Nearby there was bait, meat and bones, which had probably lured our dog off the trail.

I am sharing this terrible story with the hope that no other family will experience the same thing. The legal trapping seasons for various animals run from Oct. 20 through April 30. Trapping is allowed on any public land and even along roads with just a 3-foot setback. Besides pets, children or adults could be badly injured if caught in a trap. There are newspaper articles in Wisconsin and Minnesota pa-

pers sharing other similar stories. In some cases the family pet has even been on a leash when caught in a trap set near a trail.

Enjoy being outdoors, but be informed and be careful.

FUSE champions for Spooner staff In response to the Friday, Jan. 8, Spooner Area School District Board of Education press release issued to all media outlets, staff and student families subscribed to the district newsletter, Families United for Spooner Excellence humbly submits the following: The SASD BOE alleged FUSE had mischaracterized district staff, “tarnishing their personal or professional reputations.” The SASD press release included misconstrued and misquoted statements as evidence for their allegations. The BOE release then offers a listing of board meetings, justification of district over levy and a legal expense defense.

FUSE agrees with the school board’s assertion that “the blame and sole responsibility on our district leader for decisions” is a shared responsibility. FUSE appreciates the BOE’s acknowledgement and ownership for all decisions occurring in the Spooner School District. Their acceptance of responsibility is a welcome reassurance.

In November 2015, FUSE posted a video on the FUSE YouTube channel along with a link from the FUSE Facebook page. The

video was an interview conducted with a district parent expressing their personal concerns and grief arising from the significant number of staff departures from June 2014 through August 2015. The intent of the interview was to offer insight to the effects the departure of staff was having on district students and families.

The statements quoted by the BOE press release were valid fears referencing the district’s hiring practices. The video was immediately removed when FUSE became aware that some district staff perceived the comments to be personal. We sincerely apologize for the misconception. It was not our intent to offend any of the hardworking teachers and staff employed by the SASD. We value the men and women who give tirelessly each day to educate and care for the students of the Spooner School District.

FUSE strives to promote quality education and effective leadership. This has largely been done anonymously. Many FUSE members give of their time and resources to support the Spooner School District.

Prior to the formation of FUSE, numer-

ous members, both past and present, volunteered in classrooms, volunteered in community youth organizations, entered a parade float heralding Spooner staff, distributed We Support Our Spooner Staff pencils during the rodeo parade and encouraged school and community spirit.

Upon the formation of FUSE, many members assisted teachers in preparing for the new school year, donated funds for classroom needs, supplied welcome-back treats for staff in all three school buildings, continue to volunteer in classrooms and at school-sponsored events, applied to be on the citizen advisory committees, cooperated with the local business community to distribute appreciation gifts to staff and attended SASD committee meetings, special meetings and the regular monthly meeting. FUSE has sought ways to cooperate with the district administration and school board to identify and address district concerns.

These actions are listed to evidence FUSE’s endeavors to support the Spooner School District and staff while sincerely striving to promote the good governance of our school.

In the past, Spooner, as a community, has overcome many challenges; however, the turmoil in our school district this last 1-1/2 years has been too overwhelming to ignore. The current strife in our community is affecting more than teacher retention rates. Students are being affected in spite of the staff’s best efforts, businesses are suffering and friends and families are struggling to find common ground.

FUSE members do not always agree with school board decisions, but they agree to disagree respectfully. Families United for Spooner Excellence would like to see all district residents extending respect to one another, showing good character and discussing differences of opinion in a mature manner.

We appreciate the opportunity to publicly address the community. FUSE members desire to be open and honest in our intentions and actions. If you have further questions, please email us at FUSE. spooner@gmail.com.

SHELL LAKE – In the Jan. 6 edition of the Register, names of people who left us in 2015 were published. Unfortunately Catherine M. Frey’s name was overlooked in the listing for February. Apologies are extended to her family.

••• The Jan. 6 edition incorrectly recounted an accident that occurred on Wednesday, Dec. 23 at approximately 1:31 p.m. involving Mark Fritz, 71, Trego. The report should have stated that Fritz, driving a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer, was merging northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Spooner as Andrew Hitchcock, 22, Mason, was traveling northbound driving a 1992 Ford Explorer. As Fritz merged onto Hwy. 53 Hitchcock lost control of the vehicle he was driving on the slush covered road and sideswiped Fritz. No injuries were reported and both vehicles had moderate damage.

Summer driver’s education program set

SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake School summer driver’s education program will be held June 13-17, and June 20-24, June 27-July 1, with July 6, 7 and 8 being makeup days. There will be two sections, 8-10 a.m. and 10 a.m.noon. The enrollment maximum for each session is 25 students.

Students may begin to enroll during the week of Jan. 18. Older students, those already 15-1/2 or older, will be given priority during this registration period. After Jan. 25 the remainder of the open spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The current fee is $275 per student, subject to change, and includes the six hours of driving and six hours of observation in order to fulfill the state requirements. There are numerous private driving schools around that charge over $300 to provide the same service, and these all require travel outside of the school district, so, for nothing more than the convenience, the Shell Lake Schools driv-

er’s ed program is the better value for most of the students who attend or who reside in the Shell Lake School District. The driving is done either before or after school once the student has earned their permit.

Students in eighth grade and up must make up required core (English, science, math and social studies) credits they failed before they receive their Driver Education Completion Certificate. Students must attend every day for all 15 days of the summer classes. If students miss any of the days (maximum of three days absences are allowed), they must make up their time during July 6, 7 and 8. Failure to attend 15 class periods will result in the student being required to retake the course the following summer or elsewhere. There are no exceptions, as the state of Wisconsin requires this. Students will not be allowed to attend two sessions in one day, as a makeup.

The school is providing this information now so you

can plan your vacation time accordingly. Students must be in attendance for the 15 days to be elligible to get their driver’s license.

In order for your child to enroll in the summer driver’s education program, the school is requiring a signature from the student, and parent/legal guardian. This signed form must be returned prior to the student being allowed to enroll in this class. Your signature on this form indicates that you understand the above guidelines, and give permission to your son/daughter to participate in the 2016 summer driver’s education course. Remember the student must attend 15 separate days of instruction in order to pass this course, and the program only has three scheduled makeup days.

If you have any questions please call Bob Forsythe, driver’s ed instructor, at 715-468-7814, ext. 1123. — from Shell Lake Schools

Resolutions for a new year

H

ow are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions? If you haven’t decided on a resolution yet, allow me to suggest a few great ideas. These ideas are simple and if you’re ambitious, pick several. Aside from the usual preaching about reducing, reusing and recycling, which of course is the root of all things good, purposely make an effort to try a few new ones this year.

Environmental problems are caused by billions of small, unthinking actions. These problems can be cured by billions of small, sensible actions, simple substitutions of environmentally conscious habits for thoughtless and wasteful ones. It’s really not that hard at all. All you need is to have some compassion for the environment.

Try to drive the most gas-efficient car you can find. Button up your house by caulking, adding weather stripping and plastic to windows, and adding more insulation. Drastically cut water consumption by installing a low-flow shower head, it delivers not a wimpy drip but an invigorating shower, with half

Earth Notes Jen Barton the water. You can also put in faucet aerators to save hot water in bathroom and kitchen sinks. Replace old incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescent lightbulbs or better yet, LEDs; that’s a big one. Don’t landfill your kitchen scraps, resolve to start a compost pile next spring and watch your garden grow. Carefully choose to not litter in any way or any time. If you’re physically able, walk or ride your bike to your destination if it’s not too far. That not only gives the

environment a break, but helps your heart as well. Be diligent about turning off lights, TVs and radios when not in use.

Please also think about what you throw away. There are people who would love your garbage. I see it every day; find an outlet for things that are no longer useful to you. It takes a little more energy than throwing in the garbage but resources are saved and it will also make someone else’s day. Try the Freecycle groups on Facebook, as well as other groups. Every day, people are begging to get rid of their stuff and you never know, you may need exactly what they are trying to get rid of. There are also thrift stores, ReStores, and the tried-and-true way of just putting up a sign or putting your items in your yard with a free sign. It works. Just ask my neighbors - I do it all the time!

Keep up the good work; contact me with questions, comments or concerns. I would love to hear from you.

If you have an environmental resolution you’d like to share please email Jen at jbarton@nwrpc.com or call the recycling office with any questions at 715-635-2197.

State Patrol Law of the Month: Move over for emergency vehicles

What to do when you see flashing lights on the highway

SPOONER - Flashing lights on emergency vehicles are designed to get your attention while driving and prompt decisive actions. By reacting calmly and correctly in the following situations, you can help prevent serious problems.

When you see warning lights flashing on a law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, fire truck, tow truck, highway maintenance vehicle or utility vehicle that is stopped on the side of a road, you are required to move over or at least slow down.

“Under the state’s Move Over Law, if you can safely switch lanes on interstate highways and other divided roads with multiple directional lanes, you must vacate

the lane closest to the stopped law enforcement or other emergency vehicle,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Capt.

Gerald Voight of the Northwest Region. “If the road has a single directional lane or you can’t safely move over because of traffic, you must reduce your speed until safely past the vehicle.”

A citation for a Move Over Law violation costs $263.50 with three demerit points added to your driver’s license.

“Our officers and others working on the sides of highways are in danger of being hit while inside or outside their vehicles by out-of-control or speeding vehicles that did not move over,” Voight says. “By obeying the Move Over Law, drivers can protect themselves, their passengers, our officers and others who work on highways from serious injuries and deaths.”

Drivers also may encounter emergency vehicles, such as law enforcement squad cars, ambulances and fire trucks, approaching with their warning lights and si-

rens activated. According to state law, drivers must then yield the right of way and drive immediately “to a position as near as possible and parallel to the right curb or the right-hand edge of the shoulder of the roadway clear of any intersection.” Unless directed otherwise by a law enforcement officer, the driver of the vehicle shall stop and remain stopped until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed. A violation of this law costs $326.50 with four points added to the driver’s license.

“While making traffic stops on divided highways, our officers see many motorists move to the left and stop on the median shoulder instead of pulling over on the right shoulder,” Voight says. “Stopping on the median shoulder instead of the shoulder on the right is dangerous for both the motorist and the officer.” — from WisSP

JANUARY 13, 2016 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 9

Be cautious on the lake in winter Sharon Tarr | Special to the Register SHELL LAKE - Among the local history books sold by Washburn County Historical Society is a little gem, “The Story of Shell Lake,” written in 1961 by Albert L. Stouffer, a pioneer settler of Shell Lake. It tells a fascinating account of the first 75 years of the little town on the big lake.

The book is a great reference for life, labor and lore in early Shell Lake.

To illustrate Stouffer’s book’s contents, I have chosen this story that follows, as Shell Lake history and as a timely warning to anyone who might go out onto the lake in the coming months.

In the first chapter, The Lore of the Lake, Stouffer noted that there had only been a few drownings in Shell Lake in the early days. Then, “On the eve of Dec. 15, 1923, tragedy struck again. It was a fine winter evening. The ice was smooth and about 6 inches thick, so no apprehension was felt by the many skaters, young and old, who were enjoying the sport, which was at that time much more popular than now.

Suddenly we heard a cry for help, coming from the vicinity of P.N. Burg’s summer home (where the first Tiptown restaurant was later located), and there was so much despair and fear in the cry that I can still hear it after all of these years.

“Everyone started toward the cry, and what we found when we got there was totally unexpected. A large crack had developed and opened to expose a pool of water several rods wide. The first skaters to arrive had nearly all slid into the water.

“Herbert Nieman and Mrs. Ward Winton had been skating together and went into the hole. Mrs. Winton never came up alive, and Nieman, who had called for help, was so exhausted and numb from

Winton’s body was recovered from the water, which was about 30-feet deep at that point. A grapple, furnished by Earl Lund and operated by Earl Reinhart and Dwight Wynne, caught in the victim’s clothing on the first try, but all attempts to revive her failed. Attorney Winton was in Hayward at the time on legal business, was notified by telephone, and a car was sent for him at once. Clayton Slack, who was in business here in Shell Lake at the time, and who had received the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroism in World War I, took a prominent part in the recovery of the body.”

the cold that he was unable to help in his own rescue. A human lifeline, consisting of Steve Hoar Jr., Dwight Wynne, Matt Bergin, Harley Tozer and William Lutz, was formed, and their combined efforts finally pulled Nieman to safety. Dr. I.C. Crowell also went in and was rescued by another lifeline composed of H.S. Benson, Frank Conselman, and your writer, Albert L. Stouffer. Later, Henry Sagert, who had been seining whitefish west of the scene, walked into the hole near the shore but managed to get out without help, furnishing the only bit of comedy of the occasion, when he came out with his pipe still in his mouth!

“It was about an hour later before Mrs.

About some of the people mentioned in the story Mathilda Greve Winton, the woman who died in the above story, was born in 1895 in Wall Lake, Iowa, but her family moved to Oregon when she was a small girl. She is buried at Coos Bay, Ore. Mathilda and Ward Winton married in 1918 and were the parents of Warren Winton. Warren was only about 3 years old when his mother died. Some years later Ward Winton married Julia Donnally of Shell Lake. Later in his career, Ward Winton became the Washburn County Judge, as did his son, Warren, in his time. Ward Winton was also the founder and first president of Washburn County Historical Society.

Matt Bergin, one of the rescuers, was the brother of the late Francis Bergin who was killed in action in October 1918. The Bergin-Nieman American Legion Post 225 of Shell Lake is named for Francis Bergin and another World War I soldier, Paul Nieman, who was wounded in battle and died just three days before the war ended

on Nov. 11, 1918. Herbert Nieman, who fell through the ice with Mrs. Winton, was Paul Nieman’s older brother. Herbert also fought in World War I. The Bergin brothers were the uncles of Ellis Axon, who may have been the winningest coach – baseball, basketball and football – at Shell Lake High School; his career began in the 1940s and spanned some 30-plus years.

Frank Conselman was the owner of the Shell Lake Boat Factory at the time of the drowning. He had purchased and revitalized the boat factory in 1912 after it had been idle for some years. In 1933, he sold the business to Russell D. Stouffer, the brother of Albert Stouffer, the author of “The History of Shell Lake,” and G.C. “Cleve” Benson, the brother of H.S. Benson, another of the human lifeline rescuers. Harney S. Benson ran the Benson Mercantile in Shell Lake.

William Lutz was a Shell Lake businessman. He and his wife, Eva, were the parents of five children, including Charles Lutz who still lives in Shell Lake. Charles is a well-known Shell Lake entrepreneur, auctioneer and the originator of radio stations WCSW/WGMO. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources advises to watch for clear ice, rather than snow covered, since it should be stronger. Take along a cell phone in a plastic bag. Do not go alone, and be sure to tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back. Go to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website, dnr.wi.gov, for more safety tips to make your trip out onto the ice a good one.

If you want to see the movie, I would suggest just Beyond the ber. When Star Wars movies, created by George Lucas, watching the commercial or trailer.

Even though today I enjoy watching movies Another disappointing film I saw in December was office door with Harrison Ford, his return role as Han Solo hasn’t “Love the Coopers.” After seeing Diane Keaton in the forced me to go see the movie. I’m not saying people should avoid “Star Wars.” I’m just saying that when Milt asked me if I wanted to go to “Star Wars” with him, I declined. Instead I spent the afternoon preparing for the holiday season. I even took the time to stop and visit my sister, Konnie, as she was busy baking Christmas cookies.

Christmas Day 2015, Milt and I did go see the movie “Joy.” This movie is a biographical film about Joy Mangano who developed the Miracle Mop. I was hoping this movie would be encouraging and inspiring. Instead I questioned whether actor Robert DeNiro read the script before he showed up to play the part of Joy’s father, Rudy Mangano. A sleeper hit is a term

Suzanne Johnson used in the entertainment industry for a film that plays successfully for a long period and becomes a big success, despite having relatively little promotion or lacking a successful opening. When viewing “Joy,” it wasn’t a sleeper hit but rather a time for sleeping. I felt myself nod off a few times during the movie and would chastise myself that I was paying to view this film therefore I needed to stay awake. After movies are filmed they are edited. I can’t help but think that

2005 “The Family Stone” I was hoping she would have a more positive role as a mother to adult children during the Christmas season in this 2015 movie. “Love the Coopers” was titled “Christmas with the Coopers” in Ireland and the UK. I’m glad they dropped the word Christmas for the word Love since the character played by Olivia Wilde did a good job of mocking Christians and their belief in Jesus’ birth.

I didn’t intend to be a movie critic when I started writing this column. Here’s hoping that 2016 will find Hollywood coming up with a few movies that the entire family can enjoy. And for you Star Wars fans, there will be more adventures coming your way.

The side of the road

O

ne of the things I enjoy most about the house where I live is that it is on a street where there is a moderate amount of traffic. In daylight hours and into the evening there is the hum and rumble of cars and trucks passing by. The heavier vehicles may affect the foundation of the house and shake and rattle, and are probably a source of some displeasure for many people. For me, it is a pleasure to live, not exactly in peace and quiet, but in a place familiar to me and rather comforting. The place where I grew up was a small town in Illinois and our house was beside a highway. Traffic noise was a part of my infancy and childhood. When I lived in the country, the road near our farm would have four or five cars passing on a typical day. Now I revel in the sounds by the side of the road. I am at home again.

Some time ago, I wrote an essay about being comfortable with traffic sounds and I wrote something about remembering a poem called, “The House by the Side of the Road.” Someone kindly sent me a copy of the poem. It was written by Sam Walter Foss. The first verse sums up the theme very well but is in five verses.

“There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of self-content: There are souls like stars, that dwell apart, In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their path Where highways never ran — But let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man.”

New location for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren meeting

Old wife’s tales Mary B. Olsen The poet is writing to inspire people to have goals and try to reach them. It is applause for the achievers, the people who keep going when the road is rough.

The reader certainly can be inspired by the message. It is an American message, not often seen in this day and age.

This poet, Sam Walter Foss, was born June 19, 1858, in a farmhouse in rural Gambia, N.H. His mother passed away when he was 4 years old. The family farm may still be in existence. A picture of the house shows a typical farmhouse with ample upstairs bedrooms to accommodate a farm family at that time. Sam went to school irregularly, most likely in one of those one-room schoolhouses, but went on to graduate from Brown University, in 1882. He became a librarian in the Somerville, Mass., Public Library. He loved books, and certainly had a way with words. He must have worked hard on the farm and probably knew how to keep on working when it must be done.

This was the time of the newspaper poet. In every city and town, several newspapers with definite political views wanted to attract readers in any way possible. One way was to feature stories and poems. The editorials were to attract the men and the features, like the poems, were for the women. Poets like Eugene Field and James Whitcomb Riley produced poems to the delight of the women, children and the men. Sam Walter Foss was one of those poets. They wrote what could be called the common-man kind of poetry. Their ideals were the simple, old-fashioned kind. Remember the past, love God, love country, work hard and prosper.

Foss married a preacher’s daughter and they had two children. He wrote a poem every day for the newspapers. Some were collected in five volumes published from 1892 to 1907. He passed away Feb. 26, 1911.

“The House by the Side of the Road” is probably his most remembered poem. The opening lines from his poem, “The Coming American,” are nearly as famous.

“Bring me men to match my mountains Bring me men to match my plains Men with empires in their purpose And new eras in their brains.”

These words were inscribed on a granite wall at the United States Air Force Academy to inspire cadets and officers. They opened their enrollment to women and in 2003 the inscription was removed. They have that inscription at Epcot Center in Orlando, Fla., and it can still be seen on a sports trophy.

Icemen see ice action Northwest Icemen traveled to Baldwin, Park Falls; face Fox Cities at home

BALDWIN/PARK FALLS/BARRON Northwest Icemen varsity and JV members traveled to Baldwin on Tuesday, Jan. 5, to face the Hawks. In the first game the Icemen ended up losing by a score of 4-1.

The majority of the game was much closer than the score indicated, with the teams tied at 1 heading into the third period before Baldwin took the lead and ended up scoring a couple of empty-net goals with the Icemen goaltender pulled for the extra skater. “From the coaching perspective it was a good game by both sides, good effort by all the Icemen that played, it was just the case of a simple mistake late in the game that resulted in the loss. We were

very happy with the overall effort!”

In the second game, the varsity contest, the game was over for all intense and purposes halfway through the first period. Baldwin defeated the Icemen 8-2 but realistically the game wasn’t that close, if it wasn’t for brilliant goaltending by the Icemen’s Trevor Brimblecom the score easily could have been double.

“From the coaching perspective we have really struggled with Tuesday games the past couple of years. Other than our solid goaltending, it has been great all season, we only had a couple of players show up mentally ready to play. On most nights, from most of our team the effort, the good solid physical play, is there but when we don’t show up with our thinking caps on we collectively are quickly outmatched against good teams and allow teams with less than our ability to stay in and at times steal victories from our win column.”

The short-staffed Neorthwest Icemen

varsity team traveled to Park Falls on Friday, Jan. 8. The Icemen have caught the mid-season injury and illness bugs that find five skaters unable to play. The team responded well to the short roster and long bus ride, besting Park Falls 9-3. From the coaches perspective, “The team, on positive, started the game and each period strong but fell victim to their successes created by hard work and slowly began cheating the effort against a team we took the play to, dominated for most of the game.”

The Icemen varsity arrived home late Friday night to face a tough Fox Cities team that was waiting for them at the home rink in Barron after playing EC North at the Barron rink the day before. Fox Cities was probably the strongest competition the team has faced this season. They skated three or four very strong lines, five good defensemen and enjoyed good goaltending as well. They

were well-coached and very good in every area of the ice along with specialties teams. The Icemen dropped the game 6-2. The tired and depleted Icemen for the most part skated with good effort but they made too many tired, mental mistakes that ended up costing them goals.

The Northwest Icemen JV played Fox Cities at home in Barron on Saturday, Jan. 9. The team played hard and disciplined but got down early in the contest, 3-1. The team battled back to tie the score at 3 before giving up a late goal in the third to lose the game 4-3. The game was an excellent learning experience of hard work paying dividends and also the need to play every shift to the best of your ability until the whistle blows or the horn sounds to end the game. — from NW Icemen

Dolly Berg turns 100 Maple Ridge Care Center in Spooner introduces Resident of the Month Dolly Berg, who recently turned 100 Many of us have known the expressions of, “I wish I had never seen sunshine, I wish I’d have never seen rain; here’s looking up your old address, Where is Spruce Street? And one two three go!” Yes you’ve guessed it; it’s Maple Ridge’s all-around sweetheart Dolly Berg.

Dorothy Marie Berg was born in Ashland on Jan. 7, 1916. Her parents were Gunder and Marie Olsen. Dolly grew up in a large family consisting of three sisters whose names are Carol, Lynn and Mitzi, and five brothers whose names are John, Bob, Fred, Ken and Howard. Dolly enjoyed her family immensely back in the day and still does. One of Dolly’s favorite childhood memories was going to a farm near home and picking strawberries with her siblings. Dolly attended and graduated from the Ashland School System and excelled in the drama class.

As time went on, Dolly’s first job was working in a paper mill and then later on in life, when she moved to Spooner, she worked for Spooner’s JCPenney Store for a number of years.

One day, as she was going shopping in Ashland, she entered a shoe store and saw a young man that would change her life forever. The young man’s name was Roy Berg and as Dolly puts it, “after buying about 10 pairs of shoes, before you knew it we were married.” They were married June 18, 1937. Since that day they

Dolly and Roy Berg were married in 1937.

Roy was the perfect gentleman and treated her like a queen; they had such a love for one another, the kind of love you read about in books. It was these characteristics that Dolly appreciated in her husband. World War II came and Roy was called away to fight the war. In 1943 they moved to Spooner and bought a house in a cozy neighborhood, the address was 114 Spruce Street.

While Roy was away, Dolly spent many a day doing some of her favorite hobbies, which were painting, cooking, singing, and fixing things around the house. After the war ended in 1945 all was well again, and Roy came home. Dolly and Roy spent each and every waking moment together.

They both loved to travel and with Roy

being in the military they got to see the vast country. Even after the war they took trips from coast to coast and loved every minute of it.

Some of Dolly’s major accomplishments in life were to bring joy to everyone she came in contact with. Dolly states, “if you can’t look on the bright side of life, well then you’re up the creek without a paddle.” Family states that as much as Dolly is a card now, she was just as much a card when she was younger and quite the spitfire along with being the life of the party.

The one person who influenced her life the most would be her husband, Roy. It was a pure love and they didn’t take a

breath without each other.

Dolly has retained her favorite hobbies and pastimes. It is a privilege to have Dolly with us here at Maple Ridge Care Center. She appreciates her friends, the activities and the loving staff she encounters every day.

In closing, the most important piece of advice that Dolly can give us is, “to enjoy life, have a barrel of laughs, and keep your head screwed on straight.”

Thank you, Dolly, for sharing your memories with us and here’s looking up your old address, kid! — submitted by Rebecca Henning, activity director

Quarters for Marshall fundraiser held LEFT: Madison Manning is very serious as she races her car while her mother, Amanda, watches and does a little backseat driving. Madison brought her bag of quarters to have fun and to help Marshall Hutton with his recovery from the car accident he was in during the fall of 2015. In that accident, he lost his mother and sister.

The fundraiser was held at the Quarter’s Arcade in Spooner on Saturday, Jan. 9.

hurt or harmed us, injured or insulted us. Love, especially deep love, will forgive quickly and completely.

On the other hand, when someone does something to us that is on purpose, knowing that it will offend us deeply or cause us great pain, that’s another matter completely. We may replace forgiveness with grudges and wait for an appropriate opportunity to get even or settle the score.

David was threatened by his guilt and needed God’s forgiveness. It is obvious in the opening verses of Psalm 51. His guilt was destroying and overwhelming him. And, he could find nothing within himself that provided him any assurance that God would forgive him. He knew that he did not deserve God’s forgiveness. So, he appealed to God’s “lovingkindness, his steadfast love, his great compassion, his eternal compassion.” Why did he find it necessary to ask God to “blot out my transgressions, wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin?” He feared God’s wrath.

David realized the significance and seriousness of his sins. According to the laws that governed the children of Israel at that time, God would not forgive him for what he had done. He was frightened! Where could he go?

What could he do?

Appeal to God for his mercy, faithfulness and love. And that mercy, forgiveness and love have always been and always will be available. “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse of all unrighteousness.”

Spooner Ag Station research program cut Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER - The Spooner Agricultural Research Station won’t have a dairy sheep research program after 2016 because of a decision made through the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

“After 20 years of a highly successful research program, and a very unique one in North American, we’re just not going to have the faculty expertise there anymore to use the herd,” said Dick Strong, senior associate of the College of Agriculture and Life Science. Strong and Dwight Miller, UW agriculture research station director, held a public hearing about the decision on Tuesday, Jan. 5, at Spooner City Hall.

Strong and Miller explained that the

System in the next biennium coupled with the planned retirement of the UW faculty member that headed the research being conducted at the ag station solidified the decision to cut the program. The cut is expected to be one of many that will need to take place.

“It’s a decision we’ve come to. It’s not a decision we relish,” said Strong.

The decision amounts to $125,000 to $150,000 in savings. Miller added that in the next two-year period there will be The Spooner Ag Station’s dairy sheep re- about $750,000 in cuts to all ag research search program will not be funded by the Uni- stations in the UW network.

Prior to making the decision to cut the versity of Wisconsin - Madison in an effort to cut dairy sheep research program, fees were costs. — Photo from Spooner Ag Station increased to all users of the UW ag stations. The research program’s closure will need to cut about $7 million from the UW

impact nine people; three full-time staff, a three-quarter-time position, a shared staff member and four limited-term-employment milkers.

Recent research conducted by the station’s dairy sheep program focused on the genetic improvement of dairy sheep for the production of sheep milk for processing into cheese, among other research.

Strong highlighted that, at this time, the Spooner Ag Station will not close. In fact there are plans to expand the station’s crop research to utilize the land farmed to feed the sheep.

Since its establishment in 1909 the Spooner Ag Station has conducted notable research on corn, potatoes and soybeans among many others.

Pet, livestock owners urged to take extra care of animals in extreme cold MADISON – Though you might think that an animal’s furry exterior will keep them warm and snug in extremely cold weather, think again. Extreme cold weather poses all sorts of threats to animals including both pets and livestock.

And the things humans do to protect themselves, like using antifreeze and salt, add more dangers for animals, says state humane veterinarian Dr. Yvonne Bellay of the Division of Animal Health.

“Food, water and shelter are the top priorities, but grooming and leashing are important, too,” Bellay says. She offers these tips on keeping your pet best friend warm and happy: • Food: Outdoor pets need more food, of good quality, in cold weather to produce body heat.

• Shelter: Outdoor animals need a dry house that’s large enough for them to stand, sit, turn around and lie down comfortably, but not so large that its normal body heat is lost. Line the bottom with dry, nonabsorbent material that won’t get wet, matted and frozen. Marsh hay works well; leaves and fabric do not.

• Water: Make sure your outdoor pets have fresh water daily – ice or snow will not do, because the animal has to expend too much body heat melting them. Ideally, you can provide an inexpensive heater that sits right in the water bowl to

prevent freezing. If you can’t do that, fill the bowl with fresh, tepid water at least twice a day.

• Antifreeze: Leaked or spilled antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is a deadly lure to animals with its sweet taste. Clean it up, and if possible, switch to a less dangerous formulation like propylene glycol.

• Walking: Rub petroleum jelly on your pet’s paws before heading out for a walk. It will protect them from salt and other deicers. When you get back inside, wipe paws, legs and stomach to remove any deicers or antifreeze that the animal might lick off itself. Be sure to remove any snow or ice between the paw pads, too, to prevent bleeding. While you’re outdoors, keep your dog leashed. Snow and ice can make it difficult for dogs to follow a scent, and they can become lost or run away in panic. Finally, those sweaters and coats some people put on their dogs are not just cute. Shorthaired dogs really need them outdoors in cold weather.

• Grooming: Wet, dirty, matted coats cannot insulate against the cold, so be sure your animals are well-groomed. But never shave a dog’s coat in winter. After bathing an animal, dry it thoroughly before letting it outdoors.

• Cars: Cats sometimes crawl under cars and into the engine compartment, seeking shelter and warmth. Bang on the

Well, I’m really sick of Wisconsin weather! This below-zero weather, minus 24 Monday, was bound to hit us sooner or later, but I was thinking that by chance, it would skip us this year. Not so!

Good news, the Packers finally got it together in the second half for a great win, and it was a sad loss for the Vikings who played a beautiful game up until the end.

Barbara Coddington called me this week and told me about the gnome that was missing from a hollow tree located on Rustic Road. If you know its whereabouts please call her at 715-865-5814.

This gnome means a lot to Barbara and its return would be appreciated.

Cumberland Healthcare welcomes New Year’s baby

hood before starting the car on cold days to startle sleeping animals. And remember, just as cars heat to oven temperature in summer, they can be equally deadly in winter when they turn into freezers.

Don’t leave your pet alone in a vehicle. It may freeze to death.

• Sleeping: Even indoor animals needs a warm place to sleep, off the floor and out of drafts. This is especially true for old or ill animals.

Animals can suffer from hypothermia, frostbite and other cold weather injuries.

Harsh conditions weaken their immune systems and open the door to illness.

Calves and swine are especially susceptible to cold.

“Livestock owners need to provide extra nutrition, plenty of good bedding, and protection from winds and moisture,” says Bellay. “And you need to have healthy animals going into winter. Look for early signs of disease and for parasites.

Calves often have undetected pneumonia that kills quickly when the temperature drops. Be particularly careful with animals that have recently been brought here from a warmer climate or that have been indoors and are now outdoors. If they’re not acclimated, they’ll suffer more winter ills.”

Bellay offers further advice to keep livestock comfortable and productive during winter’s worst: • Shelter: Wind chill carries body heat away from animals just as it does from humans. Generally, a 20-mph wind is about equal to a 30-degree drop in temperature. Make sure animals have a place to get out of the wind, even if it is just a

Heart Lake

windbreak or a three-sided shelter. Make sure shelters are not located where other buildings deflect wind and snow into the shelter.

• Food: Animals burn extra calories to keep warm in severe cold. If they stay outdoors, they will need more food than usual — and good quality food. As a general rule, nutrient requirements increase about 1 percent for every degree that the temperature falls below 20 degrees F. Horses nutrition requirements increase below 45 degrees F. • Water: Provide access to fresh water, not frozen streams or snow, daily. Stock tank heaters and frost-proof watering devices will ensure that livestock get enough to drink.

• Bedding: Plenty of dry bedding will insulate udders and legs from frostbite.

• Moisture: Long hair or fleece insulates only when it is dry. Wet or muddy hair or fleece loses insulating ability and actually cools the animal as it dries, which in turn increases the animal’s caloric needs.

• Transportation: Temperatures near freezing can be fatal to animals in a truck, especially calves and swine, when the wind can whistle in or rain can soak their coats. Cover openings in the vehicle box to cut wind chill and keep rain out, but allow some air to pass over the animals for ventilation. Provide a deep bed of dry straw for calves younger than 4 weeks or for any swine.

It was good morning to a cold day on Monday, just like they had in the 1940s.

It was minus 20 degrees Monday morning. Spooner had 14 below when I went to bed. I guess we’ll have to grin and bear it. We can’t fight Mother Nature.

I see by the games that were played on Sunday, people were really bundled up as they played in the open air.

Last week, Arlys Santiago picked up her sister, Audrey Carlson, and they went out to Verndale, Minn., to help their sister, Avis, take down her Christmas decorations.

Cheri Minot had her twin girls, Tonya and Michelle, of Eau Claire, home for a

few days and they did some fun things together.

Saturday night the Minots had Kari and David Mathison of Spring Creek as supper guests.

I guess it is too cold to do much. Pastor Sue was at Glenview to have Bible study with us last Tuesday.

I’m going to quote a saying that my brother, Milton, left with me. “Not only am I perfect, but I’m Norwegian, too.” He was a proud Norwegian, the youngest of my eight brothers.

Keep warm here in Wisconsin.

Boy, what happened to our nice, springlike weather? Maybe we were a little spoiled up to this point. And the frigid air came in just in time for the Vikings/Sea hawks game. Yippee. Duane and I were watching it in Mount Horeb with Donnie and Virginia Hook and Pat Olson who are Packer fans. Duane and I were feeling pretty smug during the first half of the game, pretty nervous after the second half started, desperate toward the end of the fourth quarter, elated that there was going to be a field goal by the Vikings during the last 20 seconds, and devastated when a 16-yard kick was way off. What? Just wait until next year. Teddy Bridgewater is going to be even better and we’ll go to the Super Bowl.

We listened to the Packer game on the radio while we were driving home from Mount Horeb. Now that was a pretty exciting game. I was glad the Packers won because the kids are all Packer fans. Of course they played against a team also known as “Little Sisters of the Poor,” so the odds were pretty good that they would win. Sorry guys, a little bit of sour grapes there.

Needless to say, Jerry Marsh is ecstatic about the Viking loss and Packer win. He said, and I quote, “Packers rule. Vikings drool.” Not very original, but it works when he’s trying to annoy Duane.

Pat, Duane and I were in southern Wisconsin to attend a 50th birthday party held in honor of Cindy McKoewn that was hosted by her mom, Sue Meier. It was a great party, almost like a family reunion. We saw and visited with most of our friends and relatives from Dane County. Cindy, who is one of the nicest people ever, has lots of friends, so, with all the friends and relatives in one place,

Dewey-LaFollette Clam River Tuesday Club met Jan. 6 at Lakeview Church. Pam Bentz and Karen Mangelsen were hostesses.

Karen and Hank Mangelsen and Margaret and Bruce Madison were lunch guests of Marie and Wayne Romsos on Thursday.

Hank and Karen Mangelsen called on Gerry and Donna Hines on Friday afternoon.

Nina and Lawrence Hines visited Lida Nordquist on Friday evening.

Brian Hines was an overnight guest of Donna and Gerry Hines on Friday.

Congratulations to Ed Durand who turned 100 in December! His family hosted a birthday party for him Saturday at Country Terrace in Spooner where he lives. A number of friends and rela-

it was pretty packed. It was a great party.

Oh, I have to tell you one more thing about our trip. When we got to Mount Horeb, we were pretty low on gas. So we stopped at a convenience store and I went in to pay while Duane pumped gas.

I paid, came out, got in the car, and pulled away from the pumps. I started toward the driveway, and Pat said, “Where’s Duane?” I looked in the backseat and he wasn’t there. Unbeknownst to me, while I was writing out a check, he came in to the store to use the little boys’ room. Well, Pat was in the front seat and I never looked into the back to be sure he was there. I would have been a couple of miles down the road before I would have missed him.

I told him that the next time he sneaks out of the car he’d better hang a shirt on the steering wheel to let me know he’s gone.

Actually, it would have been pretty funny if I would have gotten to Donnie and Virginia’s and then had to turn around and go to pick him up.

Lynn Thon had a great weekend filled with grandchildren. On Saturday she spent the afternoon with her adorable little twin granddaughters, Kaitlynn and Jessica Holmen. Then, on Sunday, Garett, Kandice and Kane Thon came over for supper. Kane just turned 9 months old, and is now having fun playing Superman.

Tru Lehmann came up to visit us on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.

While she was here, we went to see her Aunt Miriah and Aunt Tinille at the horseboarding place in rural Shell Lake. Tru has a horse there, Coop, and she is getting to be a pretty good rider. Horsemanship must run in the Lehmann blood. Maybe we have a future Spooner Rodeo Queen in the family.

And, speaking of rodeo royalty, Beth

Karen Mangelsen tives came there to wish him well. Frank Gust entertained the people by playing his accordion and singing.

Karen and Hank Mangelsen went to the Siren School on Saturday morning to watch granddaughter Grace play basketball. In the afternoon, they attended the birthday party for Ed Durand in Spooner.

They also visited Stan and June Wickman who live at Country Terrace, too. On the way home, Hank and Karen called on Marlene and Bruce Swearingen.

Lida Nordquist had lunch with Gerry and Donna Hines on Sunday.

Karen Mangelsen will be at the LaFollette Town Hall on Tuesday, Jan. 19, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., to collect real estate and personal property taxes and dog license fees.

Kujala’s coronation ceremony/fundraiser, which was held Saturday evening, Jan. 9, was a humongous success. Lydia Berg, Miss Rodeo Wisconsin 2015, was there, of course, to pass on the crown.

Dick Fankhauser was there to present her with a beautiful belt buckle from the Spooner Heart of the North Rodeo. They had lots of great food, raffles, a silent auction and a live auction. Miriah Lehmann, Miss Rodeo Wisconsin 2014 was there to congratulate Beth and wish her all the best in the coming year. We all hope Beth has a lot of fun representing our state at rodeos all over the U.S. We know she’ll do an outstanding job.

Sharai Hefty, Gary Rahn and Linda Fortin were among the crowd at Lehman’s Supper Club attending the Red Barn Barney Awards last Saturday evening. Sharai announced the best actor in a supporting role award, which went to Ben Heer, in her best “Elsa” voice. Terry Wiesner told her that the Elsa voice was a must. Sharai said that there were lots of other awards given, of course, and a large majority of them went to the musical “Grease.” Sharai said that it was a great night out and

everyone had a very good time.

Oh, and Sharai also mentioned that tryouts for the new season will be held Thursday night and Saturday morning at the UWBC Fine Arts Building. For times, she said to check out the Red Barn website.

The Barronett/Shallow Lake ice-fishing contest will be held this Saturday, Jan. 16, 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. There will be a soup supper immediately following the contest at the Barronett Community Center hosted by the civic club. At the community center there will also be games, raffles, and the wonderful LuAnn and her ice mavens.

This event is the highlight of the winter season, so please plan to join us for all the fun.

Guess who I ran into the other day?

Sarah Collier. I hadn’t seen her for a couple of years and we had a very nice visit.

Sarah is looking great and seems to be doing fine. It was so nice visiting with her and I hope to see her again soon.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Stay warm. See you next time.

This past week was mild, several little snows, absolutely beautiful with it on every tree branch. The weekend was all about football and cold weather. The first below-zero readings we’ve had this season. Some reports of more than 30 below. I had 27 below Monday morning.

Virginia Stodola’s son Dave and Cathy, Hudson, were up for the weekend a week ago. Son Jack was here this last Wednesday and on Friday her cousin’s son, Lane Johnson, Rice Lake, came and got her and took her to Our House Living Center in Rice Lake to visit his mother, Camilla Johnson. She didn’t find her very perky.

I received a nice letter from Mary West. She is at daughter Lynda’s in Cheyenne, Wyo. Said she hopes to get back here this coming summer. Otherwise doing OK. She baby-sits Lynda’s dogs.
