The how and where of Common Core in Washburn County

No formal adoption yet among county schools, but standards being used as benchmarks

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Malcolm X, the human rights activist, once said, “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” Ensuring today’s young minds are prepared for their future is a responsibility shouldered by parents, educators and school administrators alike. Acknowledging that there was a need for more rigorous and clear standards that were

aligned to postsecondary and workforce expectations, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction began to examine the need for updating Wisconsin’s Model Academic Standards as early as 2006. But findings from the landmark report, A Nation at Risk, published in 1983, initiated what would become Common Core State Standards, new academic standards in English language arts and math. While the standards establish what students need to learn, they do not dictate how teachers should teach, and are not a curriculum. Local teachers, principals, superintendents and others decide how the standards will be achieved. The Wisconsin Department of Public In-

Man charged with attempted homicide, OWI with children in vehicle Facebook post helps authorities find suspect

MINONG — A 36-year-old Minong man was booked into the Washburn County Jail after being arrested without incident in the village of Minong. On Saturday, Jan. 3, at 3:30 a.m., Washburn County dispatch received a 911 call of a person being shot and lying in the road on CTH I and Rice Lake Road in the Town of Minong. Deputies responded to the scene. According to a press release by Sheriff Terry Dryden, it was quickly determined that no one was shot and lying on the road. Preliminary investigation revealed, however, a significant altercation occurred between two males in the same vicinity. Shots were fired but no one was hit. The altercation and assault resulted in the medical transport of the victim, once located, to the Spooner hospital by Minong ambulance. The suspect fled the scene with his two minor children. After a search of the area by deputies, Douglas County deputies, Wisconsin DNR and their

aircraft, and along with a Facebook post, the suspect, Terry Kiefer, was located and arrested without incident in the village of Minong. The two children were in the vehicle at the time of his arrest and were on injured. Kiefer was booked into the Washburn County Jail on felony reckless endangering safety by use of a firearm; felony attempted second-degree homicide, possession of a firearm by a felon, felony battery and felony operating while intoxicated with children under the age of 16, domestic abuse and potentially child abuse. Within minutes, after Dryden posted on Facebook about this incident and that the sheriff’s office was looking for Kiefer, dispatch received a call from two individuals that said Kiefer was at the Victory Lane gas station in the village of Minong. Deputies quickly apprehended Kiefer. The calls from these two individuals were a direct result of the Facebook post. Kiefer was scheduled to appear in court sometime Monday, Jan. 5, for a bail hearing. No other information will be released until the sheriff’s office has finished their investigation. — with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office

A great day on the ice

JD Eichmiller and Olivia Opel are proud of the bluegills that they caught on the ice. These two cousins are no strangers to cold winter sports. JD is an avid ice fisherman and Olivia, age 4, loves downhill skiing.

Makenna Anderson and her grandfather, Rick Anderson, pose with the bluegill that she caught. Rick and Barb Anderson, owners of AAA Sports, sponsored the ninth-annual Youth Ice-Fishing Funday on Tuesday, Dec. 30, on Spooner Lake.

What do Tayler Warner and Santa have in common? They both like the cold weather. Ice fishing is not for the fair-weather sportswomen. Ice fishing, skating, skiing or sledding down a hill are winter sports that challenge those who live in northern Wisconsin.

Unemployment numbers have improved since prerecession levels Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Data from several state and federal organizations suggest local and statewide job data is better than prerecession, 2008, data. According to Department of Workforce Development data, Washburn County’s unemployment rate for October increased slightly, by .2 percent, but is lower than the same month last year. Washburn County’s October unemployment rate was 5.2 compared to a 2013 October rate of 6.4. The November 2014 rate came in at 5.8, an increase over October but a significant drop over the 7.0 rate for the same month last year.

Statewide unemployment rates decreased in all 72 counties compared to October 2013 rates. November unemployment rates decreased in all but one county, Burnett, which remained unchanged. The release of the October and November 2014 local rates follows a release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates showing Wisconsin’s preliminary seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for those months were 5.4 percent and 5.2 percent, both new postrecession lows in Wisconsin. From the month of September 2014, Wisconsin topped all 48 ranked states with a gain of 5,400 manufacturing jobs.

Compared to a year ago, Wisconsin gained 12,100 manufacturing jobs, placing Wisconsin fourth in year-over-year growth. The state gained 16,500 private sector jobs over the month, suggesting a full recovery of all private sector jobs lost during the recession. The DWD reports initial weekly unemployment insurance claims for the first 50 weeks of 2014 dropped to the lowest point since 1999, and the annual average weekly unemployment insurance claims are at their lowest levels since 2000. The Department of Financial Institutions reports that new business formation is up 5.1 percent during the first 11 months of

2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Other indications of the state’s recovery include that Forbes magazine recently ranked Wisconsin first in the Midwest for projected growth in its Best States for Business rankings. Wisconsin’s agricultural exports for the first nine months of the year show a 17-percent increase compared to last year, ranking 12th among U.S. states. Wisconsin ranked first in the Midwest and ninth in the country in rate of private sector job growth from October to November. The year-over-year growth rate was second in the Midwest and 19th in the country.

Weather cameras installed in Washburn County towns

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The responsibility of maintaining the county and state roads in Washburn County falls on the Washburn County Highway Department. Starting this winter the department is getting some 21st century-style assistance in the form of three GeoVision cameras. The 360-degree, 24-hour operational cameras are located in Stone Lake at the Lakes Community Co-op, the Town of Chicog on the town hall and in the Town of Barronett. “We’re using them for public safety,” explained Jon Johnson, Washburn County highway commissioner. “What we do is we pull these cameras up and see if it was snowing or not. That saves our people from having to drive around and check

the road conditions … we just check the cameras to see what the weather conditions are in each corner (of the county),” he said. The town or business covers the cost for the Internet that the cameras are connected to in order for the highway department to have remote access. The one-time cost of the camera was covered by the highway department, “so it’s kind of a partnership that we do just to provide a better service to the public,” Johnson said. Each camera, including the labor for installation, cost the county highway department $3,500. So far the project has cost the department $10,000, funds that come out of the department’s budget. “I’m not an expert but it’s probably one of the better pictures that I’ve seen out

there,” said Pat Wilcox, Town of Chicog chairman. The Town of Chicog has had their camera installed since mid-October. Wilcox is happy with the town’s investment into the camera. Besides getting better road service the town hall and its grounds now have added security with the camera to use for surveillance. Not everyone in the Town of Chicog is happy about the surveillance aspect of the camera but for Wilcox, peace of mind about the town’s equipment that is stored around the town hall is worth it. For Stone Lake the surveillance aspect the cameras provide was a welcome opportunity. “We’ve had a bank robbery in town. We had the one … where someone got into my safe back in January, the cam-

era system inside caught the guy, but it would be great to catch the vehicles outside,” said Jim Bergeron, manager of the Lakes Community Co-op Grocery Store. In Stone Lake the camera is installed on the side of the grocery store that provides a north and south view of Hwy. 70 for the highway department. For now the Town of Chicog isn’t recording from their cameras but Wilcox stated that it is only a matter of time before they will. Johnson said the department has plans to put cameras up on the Hwy. 53 corridor and in Minong, but those cameras would be connected to the county’s fiber-optic cable.

New state representative to hold in-district inauguration this Friday

RICE LAKE — Rep.-elect Romaine Quinn, R-Rice Lake, will be holding an in-district inauguration ceremony in Rice Lake on Friday, Jan. 9. The event will be held at the Rice Lake City Hall Lakeview Chambers, 30 E. Eau Claire St., at 6 p.m. The Honorable Eric Kasper will preside. A reception will follow the ceremony. Constituents and the media are invited to attend.

Quinn defeated Democratic incumbent Steve Smith in November and will be entering his first term in the state Assembly. Quinn will officially take office on Jan. 5. “An inauguration in Madison is fine. However, I want to take the oath of office right here in Rice Lake, in front of the voters of Northwest Wisconsin,” noted Quinn. “As their state representative, I will always put their needs before

the needs of Madison special interests.” Quinn, 24, was the youngest elected mayor of Rice Lake at age 19. More recently, he worked as a salesperson at Viking Coca-Cola’s Rice Lake branch. “I am excited to get to work on behalf of my constituents in the 75th Assembly District. The voters are looking to me to invest in worker training, strengthen education and bolster our tourism industry,

all while holding the line on spending,” continued Quinn. “These are not partisan goals, and I will work with both Republicans and Democrats in Madison.” Quinn was elected to serve the 75th Assembly District, which includes all of Barron County, southern Washburn County and small portions Burnett, Dunn, Polk and St. Croix counties. — from the office of Rep.-elect Quinn

Child advocacy group urges help for low-income parents as well as children Shamane Mills | WPR News MADISON - A child advocacy group says programs designed to help disadvantaged children aren’t enough, and those efforts should go hand in hand with those supporting their parents. A new report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation calls for “a two-generation approach” so as to help those in need. Basically, this means better coordinating employment help for parents with education and childcare for their children. This isn’t just through government programs, but through changes in the private sector, such as establishing paid sick days so par-

ents don’t lose income when they have to miss a day of work. Ken Taylor, executive director of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, said there are many factors at play in these situations and efforts need to deal with these issues. “We need to look at businesses to make sure that they are paying family-supporting wages and giving families the flexibility that they need to do what they need to do as parents. There are important roles for the public sector, certainly, but also nonprofit sector and faith communities and individuals. So, we all have to play a

role,” Taylor said. In Wisconsin, 20 percent of those under age 18 live in poverty. The report cites the Earned Income Tax Credit as one of several ways to potentially break the cycle of poverty. It reduces the amount of tax a low-income worker owes and may also give a refund. Wisconsin reduced its Earned Income Tax Credit in 2011 and also weakened a credit which helps low-income residents with rent and mortgage expenses.

Common Core/from page 1 struction adopted Common Core State Standards in 2010 and Wisconsin is one of 43 states to have done so to gain U.S. Department of Education Race to the Top funding as an incentive to adopting them. Some oppose the standards for that reason, that states were pressured into adopting them and that they are a federally mandated national curriculum. However, proponents point out that the standards don’t force districts to follow specific curriculum. In fact, in Wisconsin, state law gives school districts and their school boards the choice to formally adopt the standards. In Washburn County formal adoption hasn’t happened yet but that doesn’t mean Common Core standards aren’t being sought. Local educators continue to make lesson plans and instruct to meet the needs of the students in their classrooms, and local school boards continue

to adopt a curriculum that best meets the needs of their local community. The Shell Lake School Board has not officially adopted the Common Core standards, but Jim Connell, district superintendent, explained that the board has supported the administration’s movement toward their implementation. “I believe it is safe to say that most, if not all, professional education organizations in Wisconsin are in support of the Common Core implementation. Tony Evers, state superintendent, along with the Department of Public Instruction, are in favor of their implementation,” said Connell. The Shell Lake School District first started moving toward Common Core standards about three years ago. Today Connell reports that the district’s English and math instructors have studied the standards and are working toward implementing them into their lesson planning.

To make sure district students are prepared for the standards’ testing, the district has purchased curriculum, textbooks and supplemental resources based on the Common Core. “Personally, I support the Common Core implementation. While there are concerns with less local control, the standards are benchmarks, they do not mandate what methodology, lesson planning, textbooks or pedagogy teachers need to use in their classroom … these standards … are not an end-all solution, but rather a baseline expectation. Certain students can, and will, certainly go further in their learning and skill development. At the same time, special education students may fall well short of reaching the expectations set forth by the Common Core,” said Connell. It’s a similar story in the Spooner Area School District. “In the expectations for assessment and

student achievement, Spooner would want to align with rigorous standards that require mastery of skills and strategies for students to be successful across disciplines. At this time, Common Core standards offer the best framework from which we can then choose our curriculum and instructional practices locally,” said Michelle Schwab, Spooner School District superintendent. Testing of students’ abilities is a part of the standards and most states, Wisconsin included, use Smarter Balance tests. Students will be tested to these standards in the spring using Web-based tests. According to the DPI Wisconsin will still be giving students the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam in other subjects like social studies until new standards and tests are created.

Letters to the editor Right-to-work legislation is anti-worker For the past four years, the current administration has taken Wisconsin on a race to the bottom. We have always been a state with strong progressive values and our workers have always worked hard. When an individual works hard they deserve to earn a decent salary, to work in a safe environment, and to have a balance in their professional and private lives. The Republican campaign to inflict right-to-work legislation on Wisconsinites would tilt the system farther away from our middle class that is shrinking at an alarming rate. CEOs would have even more power and their priority would be more big bonuses for themselves and profits for the shareholders. It would be a major greed party at the expense of the rest of us. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in right-to-work

states not only are wages lower, average median household incomes are also lower, about an average of $535 a month. More jobs are in low-wage occupations, rather than occupations that pay at a higher rate. Presently, six of the 10 states with the highest unemployment rates are right-to-work states. The safety of employees is ignored so workplace deaths are 36 percent higher. Education funding is usually cut, since education is the great equalizer and that is not a priority. Health insurance follows the rest of the bad news because coverage is lower in these states. Do you want to be able to use sick leave when you are ill? Would you like taking time off from work to go to your child’s school play or conference, or go on a family vacation? These benefits are not given in right-to-work

states. It is so interesting, in the past, governors of both parties have carried on our progressive traditions and have worked so hard to help the workers of Wisconsin. This administration seems determined to make the life of the average worker in Wisconsin less desirable. We want to be in a race to the top, not a race to the bottom, and right-to-work legislation will take us in that direction. That is why it is wrong for Wisconsin workers and families. We do not want to become the Mississippi of the north. Dee M. Taylor Rice Lake

Washburn County accident report Bashaw when a vehicle driven by Rophe Castillo, 18, Shell Lake, rear-ended his vehicle. Prior to the collision, Schara was slowing down to make a left-hand turn onto Tozier Lake Road in his 1999 Ford F-250 pickup truck. Castillo was distracted by his cell phone and didn’t react in time, hitting Schara’s vehicle in the rear with his 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. Neither driver was injured, but Schara’s Ford received moderate damage to the rear. Castillo’s Dodge received moderate damage to the front. Castillo was cited for inattentive driving and operating without insurance and could be fined up to $197. Thursday, Dec. 25 At 10:07 p.m., Corey Bauer, 18, Siren, slid into the ditch just south of CTH B in the Town of Sarona. Bauer was not injured and the 2006 Pontiac was removed from the ditch but had a flat. Washburn County Sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Botty, who was dispatched to the accident, stayed to assist Bauer to change the tire. Friday, Dec. 26 At 4:45 a.m., Keariea Burns, 24, Stone Lake, slid her

2001 Chrysler Concorde into the ditch 10 miles south of Hwy. 70 in the city of Shell Lake. Burns was not injured but her vehicle had to be towed from the ditch. After it was removed it was discovered that a slight amount of damage to the front bumper was sustained in the accident. Saturday, Dec. 27 At 12:35 a.m., Christine Jorgenson, 46, Lewisburg, Tenn., was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Trego, when she lost control on the icy roadway and slid off the road near the Hwy. 53 and Hwy. 63 intersection. Jorgenson was not injured. Her 2014 Nissan Murano was removed from the ditch. There were three passengers, all of Lewisburg, in the vehicle at the time of the accident: Noah Jorgenson, 16; Sven Jorgenson, 19; and Wilma Kukula, 73. No one was injured but the vehicle received minor damage to the front, a cracked windshield and front bumper.

State patrol law of the month: Move over law

Drivers must provide a safety zone for stopped law enforcement and other emergency vehicles

SPOONER — Tow truck operator killed while working on the interstate. Trooper’s cruiser hit by out-of-control vehicle. The Wisconsin State Patrol wants to put an end to tragic headlines like these. “Drivers have a legal and moral responsibility to help protect those who must work on the side of busy roads while fast-moving vehicles pass by just a few feet away,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Lt. Dori Petznick of the Northwest Region – Spooner Post. “To prevent needless deaths and injuries, drivers must comply with Wisconsin’s move over law, which provides a safety zone for workers on the side of roadways,” Petznick explains. “By law, drivers are required to shift lanes if possible, or at least slow down when encountering a law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, fire truck, tow truck, highway maintenance vehicle or utility vehicle that is stopped on the side of a road with its warning lights flashing. On interstate highways and other divided roads with multiple directional lanes, you must move over to vacate the lane closest to the law en-

Sunday, Dec. 21 At approximately 3:55 p.m., a 2005 Subaru Forester belonging to Angela Yost, 43, Chippewa Falls, slid into the ditch on northbound Hwy. 53 just south of Pierce Road in the Town of Sarona. In the vehicle at the time of the accident was Tyler Munson, 17, Chippewa Falls, two other unidentified passengers and a dog. No one was injured in the accident, but when American Towing removed the vehicle from the ditch, the vehicle’s rim was cracked and the front passenger tire was punctured rendering it useless. American Towing changed the tire for the spare but denied to pay for damages stating it was not their responsibility, and Yost’s insurance company would have to take care of it.

Winter weather dangers Important safety tips for the days ahead

MADISON — The new year is bringing snow and Arctic cold air that will impact Wisconsin the next few days. Here’s the latest information on weather conditions and tips to keep you and your family safe.

Health risks With wind chills of minus 20 to minus 35, there is an increased risk of frostbite and hypothermia. If you must venture outdoors, make sure you wear a hat and gloves. Frostbite can happen in less than 30 minutes of exposure to those conditions. Symptoms include a loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in fingers, toes, ear tips and tip of the nose. Limit your time outside. If you see these signs,

seek medical care immediately. Hypothermia is also a danger in these conditions. That is when your body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Warning signs include uncontrollable shivering, disorientation, slurred speech and drowsiness. Again, limit your outdoor activity and seek medical care if you detect these symptoms.

Carbon monoxide danger Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control. More than 20,000 people visit the emergency room and nearly 500 are killed each year from carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure you have working CO detectors. All homes and duplexes in Wisconsin are required to have CO detectors on every level including the basement, but not the attic or storage areas. Have your

furnace or wood-burning stove inspected annually to make sure it is structurally and functionally sound and vents properly to the outside of your home. Never run a gasoline or propane heater or a grill, gas or charcoal, inside your home or an unventilated garage. Any heating system that burns fuel will produce carbon monoxide. Use a battery-powered detector where you have fuel-burning devices but no electric outlets, such as in tents, cabins, RVs, and boats with enclosed cabins. Never run a car in an enclosed space. If a vehicle is running, you must have a door open to the outside. Generators should be run a safe distance from the home. Never run a generator inside the home or garage, or right next to windows or doors. Breathing carbon monoxide displaces the oxygen in the blood and can cause death within minutes at high levels. Symptoms of overexposure to carbon monoxide are often mistaken for the flu and include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath/chest pain, nausea/

vomiting, and confusion. If you experience any of these symptoms, or your carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm, head outside immediately for fresh air and call 911.

Pet care While our pets might seem to have builtin, warm winter coats, they too are sensitive to the elements. It is recommended to bring them indoors during this bitter weather. Dogs and cats can get frostbitten ears, noses and feet if left outside during bitter-cold weather.

DRESSER — A 23-year-old St. Paul man is facing a felony burglary charge on top of three misdemeanors for criminal damage to property, theft and disorderly conduct after an incident that occurred overnight on Saturday, Dec. 20, at Trollhaugen Ski Area. According to the criminal complaint, Polk County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a possible burglary at the ski area late on the night of Dec. 20. Callers reported a man they thought was under the influence, who had been kicked out of the ski area the night before, and who had been discovered a few hours later passed out in the chalet. They also noticed that someone had broken into another building on the site and had stolen some candy and chips. When police arrived, they discovered Christopher Hane passed out on a table at the chalet. He smelled of alcohol and had dried blood on his clothing and hand, as well as candy and chips in his pocket, also with blood on them. Hane refused to answer any questions or take a field sobriety test and said he did not recall anything from the night prior. He

Mark Peichel and his children, Jordan, 23, and Kaitlyn, 20, inhaled smoke when they were putting a fire out in an attached garage. The Cumberland Rural Fire Department was alerted to the fire at 2:16 a.m. and arrived on scene at 2:38 a.m. said Chief Barry Kuenkel. The fire was out when they arrived and there was no damage, he said. A heat lamp used to warm the garage for a cat was too close to some combustibles and caused the fire, said Kuenkel. He said the newer garage was drywalled, which contributed to the fire not spreading to the attached home. The firefighters left the scene at 3:31 a.m. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype •••

Acts 19:1-7

Psalm 29

Sunday, January 11, 2015 Baptism of the Lord f the two options we have in life are faith or fear, I then we can come to enjoy and take comfort in the hope we have in a living God as our light, salvation and

hope. If we do not have a hope that comes from the Lord, we are condemned to a life of anguish as we move toward our final hours on earth. Bertrand Russell said, “The older I get the more nervous I become.” In contrast to his fear is the faith we see in Pope John XXIII. Two weeks before his death he said, “My bags are packed. I’m ready to go!” David had an unusual boldness as he faced life and death. “Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.” Even though he is confronted by an army or fighting to win a war or survive with his very life, he says that “I am confident.” Confident of what? His well-trained troops? His superior skills as a leader? Indeed not. His confidence was in his Lord who was his light, salvation and strength. The word David uses for confidence in this verse means to feel secure or to be unconcerned. His confidence, the security he enjoyed, when facing the uncertainties of life and the certainty of death was in the Lord himself. David’s passion was to live in the Lord’s house and to behold his beauty. Living in the Lord’s house means much more than being an occasional visitor. It implies being a resident now and in eternity. To behold his beauty means to enjoy God’s goodness and blessings.

e have four young kittens, they’re sweet as can be, But there is a problem, as you will soon see. All four are girls, all four black and gray, Excluding just one, we have triplets I say. They look like each other; their stripes are the same, How are you gonna give each one a name? There’s one’s who’s a tabby, the difference is clear, But those other three are the same from tail to ear. Perhaps paint their nails if they wouldn’t mind, Somehow I don’t think that would really be kind. There has to be some way to tell them apart? What’s that? A collar for each, you’re so smart. Dogs for adoption: 3-1/2-year-old male Lab/rott mix; 5-year-old neutered tan/white Chihuahua mix; 2-1/2-yearold spayed black Lab mix and a 6-year-old spayed brown Chihuahua.

Signs I was born in the 1960s

realized something startling the other day. This is the year that the majority of my classmates and I will be turning 55. The classmates with fall birthdays have already reached this milestone. That means that within the next 10 years, my classmates may consider retiring. Through the mystery of Facebook, I have been able to see pictures of my classmates even though I haven’t seen them face-to-face for decades. I look at some of the faces and I obviously see their parents. Then I shouldn’t be surprised. There are days it seems it is my parents’ faces I see when I look in the mirror. I may think that it is only a few short years since my classmates and I left the classrooms of high school, but that isn’t true. The heading on the email I received from Grandparents.com said: “10 signs

you were born in the 1960s. How many of these cultural and family touchstones do you identify with?” In her article, Kristen Sturt says that since I was born in 1960, I was born at a weird time. By the time my classmates and I were aware of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the space race and the Civil Rights Movement, they were over. A true sign that I was born in the 1960s is that yes, I wore my hair cut like Dorothy Hamill’s wedge in the 1970s. I never grew my hair long enough to be mistaken for Farrah Fawcett. I don’t know if I would go so far as to say I had a crush on actor Leif Garrett but I did watch David Cassidy in the “Partridge Family.” In the 1960s, families were changing in that mothers started wearing pants and some even had full-time jobs. Fathers stopped wearing hats and grew sideburns. Our wardrobe trends were corduroy, stripes, plaids, Toughskins, Keds,

jumpers and large, detailed collars. Saturday mornings would include watching “Scooby-Doo,” “Josie and the Pussycats,” “H.R. Pufnstuf,” “The Flintstones,” and superhero shows such as “The Fantastic Four” and “Super Friends.” Since my extended family lived pretty close, a lot of my parents’ social calendar revolved around my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. As I look at photos of my grandparents, I think they looked old. How can that be since at the time their photo was taken they would have been the same age I am now? The difference now must be the fact that I do less manual labor and use products to hide the appearance of aging. In the future, when looking at photographs that are taken today, will my grandchildren think that I too looked old in my 50s?

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Precious gifts by Mary B. Olsen it down right now and write a letter of thanks. You have that letter paper with the floral design and a matching envelope.” That was what my mother told me shortly after the holidays. I did as I was told. Not these days. That is just a gentle breeze from the past, wending its way into the atmosphere, never to return. The days are long past when people took the time and made the effort to write notes of thanks to the friends and relatives who gave them gifts for Christmas. It is possible the electronic media is responsible. It’s more than that. Children did not find numerous and extravagant gifts under the tree, unlike kids today. A gift sent by mail was an exceptional event. We really appreciated unexpected gifts. Our younger generation has not learned how to carry on correspondence as we were taught growing up. It might be that the simple act of taking pen to paper and actually thinking of a response to someone’s kindness is considered too sentimental and old-fashioned. For me, I want to write a thank-you note of appreciation to our friends and neighbors here in Shell Lake. Thank you, everyone, for another splendid holiday season. Thank you to the street crews for the lighted decorations. The tall pine tree that someone wanted to cut down is still there adorned with its bright holiday splendor, aglow with colored lights outside the city hall. Thanks to the bank, which again displays the lights and the reason for the season, the figures in the Nativity scene. Thanks to the churches and the businesses. Thanks to all of you who made this year’s Holiday Saturday another pleasant time. Thank you for all the lights shining down at the lake where we can drive through and enjoy them. It was a long time ago when I first came to Shell Lake, in the year 1968. There was the old courthouse and there was a small library in the county building. This has changed. There is a modern library and new courthouse. Many of the stores downtown are different. The whole lakefront is much improved. As long as I am writing my thank-you letter, I may as well add a few more thanks for more than the holidays. It is possible

Waffles are back SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Education Foundation is once again bringing Dad’s Belgian Waffles to Shell Lake. The waffles will be served up on Friday, Jan. 16. Dad’s are famous for their traveling waffles and SLEF will be offering them during a basketball doubleheader against Cameron. The all-you-can eat waffles will be available from 4:45-7:30 p.m. in the commons of the Shell Lake High School. Afterward you can choose to stay and watch the boys and girls basketball teams as well. Tickets will be available at the event. Kindergarten and younger children eat free. You can save $1 by purchasing tickets in advance at the school administration office, or by contacting an SLEF board member. Waffles will be available with a variety of toppings plus sausages and a beverage, there will be carryouts available as well. Please consider supporting the education of Shell Lake students by enjoying the taste and aroma of a Dad’s Belgian Waffle on Jan. 16; your support is appreciated. SLEF was founded in 2002 by a group of people who value the Shell Lake area and understand the importance of having and supporting a strong education system within the community. SLEF actively directs fundraising to provide additional educational tools and opportunities, which sets the school district and community at the forefront. For more information check out the educational foundation link on the district website, shelllake.k12.wi.us. — from SLEF

police officers in cities, but here they are an important part of our community. Our schools are wonderful, and the sports programs add vitality to the life here. Another thing is the appreciation for our servicemen and women, and the veterans. For two years there has been a special picnic for the veterans at the lakefront. This is another good thing for the city and for everyone. We could have had an empty building when the little store suddenly grew bigger. We can all be thankful for that and for the boost to the local economy. We can count our blessings and be thankful. The many changes over the years were not all good things, but with the passage of time change is inevitable. Thanks, again, Shell Lake.

people living here do not know they live in a caring community. It is easy to take it all for granted, as we say, and believe every place is the same. They are not the same. When I first came here it was a village. Now it is a city, but a village at heart. We have the sheriff’s office where we can bring unused meds and they will be disposed of so that they will not fall into the hands of children and prove harmful. They patrol the county. We have police who are the first responders when accidents occur and we have first responders, EMTs as well. Police are there to control traffic for funerals and to clear the emergency helicopter for landing and for patrolling while the city sleeps. We have firefighters. We have road crews who help us deal with the winter weather, with all of its sudden, unanticipated surprises. We can call on them to keep our roads safe for travel. Thank you.

Shell Lake loses 65-13 against Luck Cardinals Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — With a potent offense, the Luck Cardinals rolled over the Shell Lake Lakers 65-13 in Shell Lake on Dec. 30. The Lakers are 0-6 for the season and are looking for their first win. Luck took a 19-4 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. For Luck, Taylor Hawkins had 18 points, Sam Nelson had 15 and Noah Mortel had 17 points. Zach Melton was the top scorer for Shell Lake with eight points. The young and inexperienced Lakers played a better second half and will get better as the season progresses. The Lakers are playing with one senior, Sam Muska, and two juniors, Drew Johnson and Melton. The season is a

third of the way through and this is a rebuilding year for the Lakers as they will be playing for experience. While winning is important it is not the true measure of the team’s character. Character and sportsmanship are put through a test in those lean years, how we face defeat is as important as how face winning. While the Lakers are not putting any games in the winning column they are playing some exciting games. They are a team that plays right up until the buzzer. On Friday, Jan. 9, the Lakers will be traveling to Northwood to play the Evergreens. One of the two teams will come away with their first win. The game is the first part of a doubleheader, with a 5:45 p.m. start.

Shell Lake played the Cardinals in the first half trailing 11-7 in the first quarter and went into the locker room trailing 19-12.

Amanda Brereton was the top scorer for Shell Lake with five points followed by Sheri Clark with four points. So far this season the 3-5 Lakers had wins over Solon Springs, Clear Lake and Spooner. They will face the 3-0 Northwood Evergreens in a conference game on Friday, Jan. 9, in Northwood. The game will be the second game in a doubleheader, with a 7:15 p.m. start.

Icemen host holiday hockey tourney, take first-place titles NORTHWEST WISCONSIN — The Northwest Icemen hosted their second-annual holiday hockey tournament that came to a close on New Year’s Eve, Wednesday, Dec. 31. The three-day event was filled with exciting games from teams around the state of Wisconsin. From a team perspective an exciting part of the festival was how well the games were attended and how supported the Icemen teams felt playing in front of large, noisy crowds that cheered the team on. “From a coaching perspective it truly made all the difference in the world to our skaters. There was a renewed hockey buzz in the stands and our locker room that gave us a great home ice advantage,” stated coach Phil Sykes. The Icemen varsity and JV teams both completed the event with three wins each and the tournament firstplace titles. “We took so many steps forward building our team character and identity and the hard work on the ice paid off for the skaters with wins in each game. It is truly impossible to highlight any single player in any of our games. The wins took every player on both teams to chip in, compete and make sure they did their very best each shift not to let their teammates down. It was the perfect way to close out 2014,” praised Sykes. The Icemen have two very important section games this upcoming week. Both the varsity and JV will played in Baldwin on Tuesday, Jan. 6. The team has a home game in Cumberland on Saturday, Jan. 10, when they face a good Siren hockey team. — from the Icemen

So far 2015 has been on the cold side. On Monday morning as I wrote the news it was 22 below zero. Anton Frey got home from the hospital last week and I am glad to report he is feeling much better. Peggy Frey visited Anton and Gloria on Thursday. The Frey family all got together at Gloria and Anton’s on Sunday, Jan. 4, for their Christmas together. Reports are that it was so nice Stevie is home from abroad and Andy and Emily were there. Lynn’s daughter, Natalie, and friend Alex also joined them. Rocky and Pat Semm’s family were together last Saturday at daughter Mary Droane’s in Rice Lake to celebrate their Christmas. It’s a sad time when our loved ones leave us at Christmastime. Funeral services for Gertie Ricken, 86, Springbrook, were held at St. Francis de Sales in Spooner on Dec. 31. The Ricken family was old neighbors of the Furchtenicht family up by Earl years ago. Sympathy to the family. Celebration of Life for Dino Cariolano, 51, Spooner, was held Tuesday, Dec. 30, at the Catholic church in Spooner. His grandparents, Harry and Evelyn Hard, owned and operated the bowling alley in Shell Lake years back. Sympathy to his siblings. I know the older generations better than the younger ones. Ray Norton, Beaver Brook, 80, passed away on Dec. 30. He leaves his wife, Elaine, and children Jeff, Kim, Kristin, Terri and Sherri and their spouses, 10 grandchildren, sisters Emma Hall, Shirley Brown and Edna Fricke. Funeral services were held at Faith Lutheran Church in Spooner. Sympathy to the family. A dear Sarona lady, Mary Shimek, 96, passed away on New Year’s Day. The Mass of Christian Burial was held at her church, St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Sarona, on Tuesday. She was a great lady and a hard worker. Sympathy to the family. Carlotta and Gene Romsos hosted their three sons’ families at their home on Long Lake for much of the Christmas holiday. Son Jeff, Jamie and three girls, Sydney, Taylor and Morgan, from Hayward, attended Christmas Eve service in Sarona where granddaughter Sydney sang a solo, “Mary Did You Know?” After Christmas their other sons’ families, Dale and Carrie and boys Blake and Riley from Shell Lake, and Kurt and Linda and kids Zachary and Skylar from Pewaukee, came to spend

Dewey Country

through New Year’s. All seven of the grands were able to spend time together with cookie and candy making, ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice-skating and all the holiday food. Report they were so blessed that all had safe travel and all 15 could be together to enjoy the holiday. Mavis Schlapper and Joyce Wade had lunch with me on Friday. Fritz Mancl and grandson Scotty stopped in and had coffee with us. There were 37 people from the extended Sauer family that met on Oct. 27 at the home of Geoff Hagen and Tricia and Remington Wiltz to celebrate Christmas and John Sauer and Jace Looney’s birthdays on that date. Bill and Duffy Sauer attended with their two daughters and sonsin-law and two granddaughters from Dallas, Texas. Paul Hagen did a garbage-can turkey with lots of other foods provided by all. They had a white elephant gift exchange followed by a huge bonfire to complete the evening. Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman had family in for Christmas that included Brian, Jessica and son Broden; her brothers Tom Hrouda and wife Stacy from Oregon, and Jim Hrouda from North Dakota; sisters Linda and Lisa and their families; her mom, Germaine Paulson; cousins Laurie and Mitch Lafferty, niece Jessie Rutske and daughters; nephew Aaron, Kandi and Harper Starkey and also Janet Zimmerman. In the evening, their aunt, Marge Schmidt, and cousin Gerald and Amy Schmidt stopped in and all enjoyed a nice visit. Elfreda West got to meet her three latest greats for the first time at Christmas. Grandson Charlie and Sarah Stubfors’ baby twins Sam and Aurora and granddaughter Allison’s baby son Lincoln, and his other brother Hayden, all from the Twin Cities. Russ and Nancy, Ryan and Jessie, Jillian and Jax, Craig and Sarah Furchtenicht, Sue Weathers, Roger and Elaine Studt, Rick Studt and friend Judy and daughter Macayla, Tom and Sherri Norman and kids from California, were among those attending the beautiful wedding in Ripon for Laurie and Tim Studt’s daughter, Rachel, who married Caleb Johnson on Saturday, Jan. 3. The flu bug prevented other family members from attending. Tyler and Heidi Foote of Barronett are proud parents of baby Wyatt James Foote. Tyler is an employee of Fuernot Farms. Congrats to them. Charlene and Corey Furchtenicht baby Arianna finished her swimming last Sunday. At 8 months old she

loved the water. My grandsons, Brady and Brian Marschall and friend Sam Livingston brought me fresh fish fillets. While visiting they wheeled in wood that was behind my shed and ranked it in my basement. Son Rock and Elaine had brought me the wood over the summer. The boys had noon lunch with me. So nice of them and a very appreciated Christmas present. Saturday night, Dec. 27, all of my family got here, making a total of 33 for our Christmas get-together. We have two Cindys, two Johns, two Saras and two Caseys now. Grandson Duane Swanson and Casey Skarr are now engaged and flashing a beautiful ring. Congrats, kids. New Year’s Day I went along with kids, John and Mary Marschall, to his mom’s, Wealthy Marschall, in Amery for the day together with 21 enjoying a great meal and celebrating the new year. Saturday afternoon a big group of friends attended a surprise 50th birthday party for John Marschall held at Becky’s in Shell Lake. His wife, Mary, did a great job of getting it together, keeping it a secret, wasn’t easy for her. She had to tell him some little white lies. Nice food, lots of reminiscing with his co-workers over the years. I enjoyed visiting with Paul Rinsig and his new wife, and Brent Saffert who I milked cows with in the ‘80s. Many more is wished for John. Remember the soup lunch program on Tuesday, Jan. 13, at noon, at Hunt Hill. This month’s program will be “Migrate, Hibernate or Freeze Solid?” by retired WDNR wildlife tech Gary Dunsmoor. Always a fun time but falls on my bowling day.

Well, is everyone happy with the new year? I imagine it’s too soon for that at this time. But hey, with a new year, maybe it will be a better year than 2014. It’s like starting over. Jan. 12, a very happy birthday to Alyssa Morgenson, Pam Pomykala, Alyssa Hansen, Travis Vanderhoof, Lois Stellrecht, Rose Sexton and Emily Marie Dorweiler, all enjoying their special day with lots more to come. A very happy anniversary to Josh and Rena Cooper as they celebrate another year together on Jan. 7 with more to come. A very happy birthday to Ralph Smith way down in Texas as he enjoys that special day with more to come on Jan. 13. Also a happy birthday to Olivia Hile on Jan. 13 with more to come. Jan. 14, a very happy birthday to Glen Crosby as he enjoys his special day with many more years to come. Glen turns 90. Whew, huh Glen! Lisa Otto and children Marjorie and Charlie were over to Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s. They all enjoyed dinner and gift opening. Also there were Daren and Kim Sahlstrom and Kristen Karls. All enjoyed the day. It’s a very happy anniversary to Kim and Daren Sahl-

strom as they enjoy their first wedding anniversary together on Jan. 4. How 2014 did fly. A wonderful day is wished for the Sahlstroms. Happy birthday to Mike Murray on Jan. 3 with many more to come. During the week, Beth Hansen and daughter Alyssa and Bev Casselious came and spent the day with their folks, Betty and Carl Meister. A very happy birthday to Mike Roe on Jan. 3. Mike rented a motel room in Spooner and spent the weekend in Spooner. Understand food prices are going up in 2015. That’s the first thing I heard on the news. It’s a bad way to start the new year isn’t it? Understand Don Grunnes was in the hospital for a while but is now home in Minneapolis. Get well soon, Don. Special prayers for Jen Giller who goes to the Lakeview Methodist Church in the Town of Dewey. Everett Lindstrom is living with his daughter, Valoris and John Petersen. He had his knee replaced. Caucus is here once again. Yes, it’s time to nominate someone for chairman, board, treasurer, clerk and assessor for the Town of Dewey. This will be Saturday, Jan. 10, at 1 p.m. Plan to be there. Dec. 20, Karen and Doug Vanderhoof had their Christmas at their home in Dewey Country. Coming were the Vanderhoofs’ children, Katie and Dave Kinde, Logan and Megan; Travis and Ashley Vanderhoof, Mackenna and Conner; Trent and Stephanie, and children; and Kyle Vanderhoof. Also coming for dinner were Marv Knoop and wife Gladys and Doug’s folks and their families. Karen says she made most of the Christmas gifts for everyone. So she was a very busy person doing all this with eight grandkids and Doug and others. New Year’s Eve found Karen and Doug over to their sister’s, Kathy Butenhoff’s, along with Rory Vanderhoof and Mike Roe and others. Diane Hulleman enjoyed coffee with Lynn Smith this past week at Lynn’s. I made a boo-boo. It was Gene and Donna Crosby’s wedding anniversary Dec. 27. Hope you had a great day. Another boo-boo, it was 42 years for Garry and Beth Crosby instead of 41. I told you, the year went too fast, didn’t I? Talking with Cecil Melton, we find Cecil isn’t feeling well. He spent a number of days in the Shell Lake hospital. He is home and not feeling up to par. Vicki Melton and Allen planned to play cards at Cecil’s on Sunday. Jerry and Gretchen Best drove to Florida by their son and family, the Kevin Best family. Gretchen tells us they baby-sat with their little grandson, Kaleb, who will be 2 in April while his folks took in ballgames, etc. The Jerry Bests left Dec. 17 and returned home Jan. 4. Gretchen tells us they visited with the Duke Johnsons. They also visited with Laura Lye. They visited Shannon and Chris Peterson and daughters. Shannon is a niece of the Bests. While in Florida, the Bests visited with their daughter, Bonita Best, and found her well.

You know I found most of Dewey Country’s families staying home for New Year’s. Yes, I believe they were hibernating! And it’s really cold now so I can’t say I blame them either. Well now I will tell you about my New Year’s Eve. I made up my mind that I was going to wait up for 2015, so I got a cup of cocoa and some popcorn and pulled some blankets over me and watched TV. Well I found myself nodding off to sleep about 10:30 p.m. and kept waking up and then snoozing a little more. Well pretty soon that snoozing turned into sleep and I slept. Well I tried to bring myself back and felt my right arm like pins and needles. I finally got myself awake and discovered Rory was lying on my right arm. And little Rammy was lying on my tummy. And looking at the clock it was 11:30 p.m., and then I really woke up. Well my two pups and I watched the new year come in and then we all nodded off to sleepy time. Talking with Butch VanSelus, he says they had Loretta’s son, Harold Stone, over for dinner on Christmas. Later they went to Matthew and Corey Stone and children’s for supper. Christmas Eve the VanSeluses went to Connie Bauer’s for snacks along with a lot of other people. Butch says it was enjoyable. Talking with my favorite sister, Marie Quam, we find Janie and Rick Lauterbach and children, Noah, Ellianna and Grace, were out for supper on Saturday evening. Asking her what’s for supper on Jan. 4, she said she was making deep-fried fish. Sounds really good, doesn’t it? Asking Myrna Atkinson what she was doing now, she said she’s busy quilting. She’s been busy all the time and keeps busy quilting. Scatter sunshine. Have a great week.

Heart Lake On Monday, Jan. 5, it was good morning to a bitter cold day. The temp was 18 below zero, but with the wind chill it felt like 20-plus below. It was best to stay inside and keep warm. Christmas at the Flachs found Mavis and Roger at Steve and Jody’s and also on Christmas Day with family. Judy and Myron Bolterman were in North Dakota visiting Amy and Charlie and little Abigail over the holidays. On Saturday, they took in a surprise birthday party for neighbor John Marschall at Becky’s for his 50th. Happy birthday John. On the weekend, Judy’s brother Chuck and Mary Campbell were up visiting. Lillian Ullom was at David and Cheri Ullom’s Christmas Eve and to Donna and Norman Ness’ on Christmas Day. Lillian lives at Evergreen Apartments and they enjoy potluck dinners frequently.

On Christmas Day, Tim, Sue and Megan joined Jane Lauterbach’s in Spooner for brunch along with Warren and Helen Quam. On Dec. 27, Tim and Sue, Megan, Jeff and I, along with all of the Pedersons and Whites, were in St. Paul at the A’bulae for the beautiful wedding of Gina White and Nicholas Peyer. Gina is the daughter of Keith and Mary White and my granddaughter. That was the third wedding I attended for three grandchildren this year. On Sunday, we drove to Hudson for gift opening and a brunch at the home of Gina and Nick. All beautiful. Jeff Pederson returned the day before the wedding from a trip to North Dakota to visit Jared and Rachel Pederson and children Elizabeth, Daniel, Joshua and Gabriel. He spent the week of Christmas there. God never promised rainbows without a bit of rain. He never promised comfort without a bit of pain. His eye is on the sparrow and every little thing. We must endure the winter to know the joy of spring. Keep warm and well.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

I hope you had a wonderful and fun time welcoming the new year, and that 2015 will be a very good year for you. First thing I would like to report this year is that John Schmidt seems to be coming along nicely. I haven’t talked to him yet, but I keep track of his progress on Facebook. His daughter said that she had talked to him and that he seemed to be in good spirits – considering his circumstances. His memory is good, but he can’t believe that he slept through Christmas and New Year’s Day. She said that he thinks they are playing a prank on him about that. I’m so glad that he seems to be doing so well. We plan to go to the Twin Cities to see him sometime this week. Laura Arnold had a wonderful surprise on Christmas Eve. She and Boyd Aarestad were planning to have a quiet afternoon, attend the Christmas Eve service at Barronett Lutheran, and enjoy a peaceful, restful evening. However, little Theodore Morris decided to make a surprise entrance into this world three weeks early. Laura and Boyd received a rather frantic call from his parents, Joe and Elizabeth Morris, telling them that they were going to the hospital. Laura and Boyd rushed down to the Twin Cities, and were overjoyed to meet the little guy. His big brother, Nicholas, is very happy with his new little brother, and is probably planning to teach him everything he knows. Even though Theodore was three weeks early, Laura said that he is a very healthy baby and that he added a wonderful element to their Christmas celebration this year. You noticed, of course, that his big brother’s name is Nicholas. Laura and Boyd were thinking that, because Theodore was born on Christmas Eve, he should have either traded names with his brother, or have been named Nicholas II or Santa or Kris Kringle something. Actually, we all know they were kidding about the names, right? Anyway, congratulations to Grandma Laura and the whole family on your new Christmas blessing. Devon Snowbank is in Wisconsin Dells this week competing for Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair. Devon is presently Barron County Fairest of the Fair, and one of the most civic-minded and nicest young ladies you could possibly hope to meet. She knows more about agriculture than most of us, having been in FFA during her high school years. She was also a Sunday school teacher’s helper at Barronett Lutheran for many years, and volunteered to help with just about anything when asked. I wish I could be on the panel of judges, because you can be sure that Devon would be representing our state as Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair for sure then. The coronation will be held on Wednesday, and even though tickets had to be purchased in advance, I’m going to drive down that evening to take pictures and congratulate Devon on her win, hopefully. Anyway, I’ll let you know next week where Devon placed in the competition. Shirley and Merl Overvig had a very busy couple weeks during the holiday season. Shirley’s son, Ben Lemke, was home for Christmas. He spent Christmas with his dad, and then celebrated Christmas with Shirley and the rest of the family on Saturday. Shirley brought him back home with her to visit for a few days. They had a very good time visiting and snowshoeing. Shirley took Ben back to River Falls on Tuesday, and stayed overnight with her daughter, Chris, and her family. On Wednesday she took granddaughters, Kalea, Elizabeth and Addison, to the Minnesota Science Museum to see the “Flight of the Butterflies” at the Omnitheater. They loved it! After the show, they went shopping for clothes and then to Olive Garden for dinner. Then, this past Saturday, Merl’s son Eric and his family came to Barronett to visit. They did a lot of sledding an-

I hope everyone had a happy New Year. Of course we wished it had been a bit warmer, but at least it was good weather as far as driving was concerned. Mark your calendars for the next Music Night in Stone Lake. It will be the first Saturday in February, Feb. 7, from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Lions Hall. That’s it for the news this week. Everyone must be resting after the holidays. Have a good week and be safe. Mary Nilssen can be reached at 715-865-4008 or upnorthnils2@gmail.com.

dChristmas stuff – you know, opening gifts and all that kind of thing. And, if you have ever been to Shirley’s home, you know that they had way too much food for the amount of people present. She made a huge brunch and an even bigger dinner. So there were lots and lots of leftovers, which makes it very nice for people who just happen to drop by to say hello. Actually, Duane and I were a couple of the drop-ins, and as we were visiting plates of candy, cheese, meat and crackers seemed to magically appear on the table. If your New Year’s resolution was to take off all the weight you’ve gained since Thanksgiving, it would probably be best to avoid the Overvig home for a while. We had a pretty boisterous and chaotic New Year’s Eve at our place. I had asked if I could have Tru Lehmann and Wrig Marsh overnight to celebrate the new year with us. Tru will be 4 this month, and Wrig was 3 in July. Well, I also asked Don and Anitia Lehmann if they would like to come over and play cards that night. Hmmm. It’s been a long time since we’ve tried to carry on an adult conversation and play cards while listening toddlers play, tattle, tell us long, elaborate stories, and ask for snacks, drinks, etc. But, they are absolutely adorable, and we did have a wonderful evening. Tru and Wrig couldn’t (Dec. 24, 31, Jan. 7) stay awake until midnight STATE OF WISCONSIN though, so I took pictures of CIRCUIT COURT them the next morning.

because Anitia and I were so distracted by the little ones. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. You’ll never believe what Dave and Lisa Langley saw last week, a black bear cub ambling around just a couple blocks south of Barronett. Dave said that cars were stopped while people watched the little guy. What in the world was he doing out at this time of year, and where was mama bear? I hope he got home safely and is snug and warm in his den again. Hard to believe our first bear sighting this year was in January, isn’t it? That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you have a wonderful 2015 and that this freezing cold weather doesn’t last too long. See you next week.

Shell Lake State Bank donates to arts center

Vintage Wisconsin: Ice-skating for fun, fashion Erika Janik | WPR News STATEWIDE - When the weather gets really cold, some people hibernate and others … go ice-skating! In the best hats. And is that a muff? The three women in the above image show how skating can be fun and fashionable as they glide across a Milwaukee rink. People in Wisconsin have taken skate David Haroldson, president and CEO of the Shell Lake State Bank, left, recently presented Shell Lake Arts Center’s executive director, Tara Burns, with a check for $1,500. This generous donation blade to ice since at least the early 19th century. Young Mary Ann Brevoort, who will help the arts center prepare for its 48th camp season. — Photo submitted spent much of her childhood at Fort Howard in Green Bay, was passionately fond of skating. “As soon as the old Fox River was mirrored with ice, Miss Brevoort was among the first to prove its glacial qualities; and if she had been attractive in her walk on terra firma, she was perfectly bewitching with her skates, on the ice,” recalled her former teacher, Gen. A.S. Ellis, of Brevoort in the 1820s.

Brevoort was so irresistible that several young men thought they would give chase and try to win her affection. She entertained them, “dallying with them coyly for a few moments.” But, when she figured out their intent to keep her from escaping, she left her suitors “like a flash of light.” Brevoort was ahead of her time. Although ice-skating began in Europe – some 3,000 years ago, people in Northern Europe developed tools, including ice skates, that allowed them to travel across frozen lakes – it became a national craze during the Civil War. Many Wisconsinites took to the ice as cheap entertainment during the war, while soldiers skated the cold and boredom away in their semipermanent winter quarters. We haven’t stopped skating since.

Nation’s butter supplies normalized after low inventory, higher prices Noah Ovshinsky | WPR News STATEWIDE - The nation’s supply of butter has rebounded in recent months as inventories were low and prices were high earlier this year. The spring is usually the time when the dairy industry builds up the butter supply for the all-important holiday season. But a huge bump in exports led to a lower-than-normal inventory, which also meant higher prices, which hit a record in September, according to Mark Stephenson, the director of dairy policy analysis

at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. “That was a price that was really strong through much of the year as they were trying to rebuild inventories getting ready for the holiday season that’s coming up here,” Stephenson said. “This is the big time of the year – demand for butter between Thanksgiving and right through to Christmas.” Stephenson said the industry has responded to this butter shortage and stocks are approaching a level that is typical for this time of year. He said that also means less money for producers.

JANUARY IS NATIONAL RADON ACTION MONTH WHY SHOULD I TEST FOR RADON?

Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. You can’t see, smell or taste radon, but it may be a problem in your home. Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. You should test for radon. Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon. Polk County serves as the Radon Information Center (RIC) for Burnett, Washburn, Douglas and Polk counties. For a limited time, bring this coupon to the Polk, Burnett, Douglas or Washburn County Health Dept. for a $5 radon test kit (normally $8) or mail this coupon with your name, address, phone and $7 (includes $2 shipping) to: Polk Co.
