Likely murder-suicide in Sawyer County, officials report
Former student returns to teach at SLAC camp
HAYWARD — Evidence points to a family murder-suicide that occurred at a residence near Lake Chetac in Sawyer County according to Sawyer County Chief Deputy Brigette Kornbroke. On Saturday, May 30, local law enforcement agencies responded to a call from a female who reported her son had shot her husband and had set fire to their home. Shortly after dispatch lost contact with the woman and was unable to reach her again. When arriving on the scene, first responders found the residence engulfed by the fire and the body of Eric Werachowski, 41, outside the residence. Preliminarily, Kronborke stated Werachowski died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. After the fire was extinguished two more bodies were found in the home. Officials

believe them to be Werachowski’s parents, Richard and Marilyn Werachowski. They think Richard died from either the fire or a gunshot wound to his abdomen and that Marilyn succumbed to the fire. The incident remains under investigation by the Sawyer County Sheriff’s Office and the Division of Criminal Investigations. Autopsies will be conducted as part of the investigation. Sawyer and Washburn County deputies were dispatched, along with Birchwood Police, Birchwood Fire and Ambulance and the Sawyer County Special Response Team. The Washburn County Sheriff’s Office received the initial emergency call. — Danielle H. Moe with information form the Sawyer County Sheriff’s Office

Shell Lake Science Fair Shell Lake sixth-graders Sarah Tijerina and Raemie Hammac did a science project on their favorite subject, horses. They studied the best diet for horses and found out that horses will choose the most nutritional diet on their own.
Sydney Atkinson and Lillian Wade presented their project about the science of fingerprints to judges Sabrina Skindzelewski and Kelsey Egbert. The two judges, recent graduates, had to check in to the school as visitors, a far change from just walking through the doors as students.
Shell Lake High School student Travis Klassa takes a ride on a hovercraft designed and built by Sawyer Schultz and Blake Flach. This was by far the coolest project at the Shell Lake sixth-grade Science Fair held Friday, May 29.
Skylar Leech and Harshita Monga explored whether sensitivity is heightened on your dominant side. Like all scientists, they ask a question and make a hypothesis. They then have to come up with an experiment to prove or disprove the hypothesis. This is a good way for the young students to learn what a scientist does.

Birchwood School District to open K-12 virtual charter school Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer BIRCHWOOD — The Birchwood School District has announced it will open Bobcat Virtual Academy in the fall as a new charter school for students in kindergarten through grade 12. “BVA moves beyond the typical virtual charter school concept to combine the best of both worlds; virtual education and face-to-face connections with the Birchwood School community,” said Frank Helquist, superintendent. Modeled after one of the nation’s most effective virtual charter schools, Falcon Virtual Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., Birchwood will be partnering with Fueleducation and K12 to provide a wide range of learning options. Students taking Internet-based classes will be taught by Wisconsin certified teachers and will have a local student support teacher/ coach who will mentor each student for successful learning. For the past two years, Birchwood’s educational options committee has been researching ways to expand learning options beyond its traditional and charter school options. Birchwood’s existing charter options include the Birchwood Public Montessori Charter School for prekindergarten through sixth grade and the
Birchwood Blue Hills Charter School for grades seven through 12. “Many of the existing virtual options throughout the state fall short of combining the best features of a virtual learning environment and direct connections with a small, quality school community,” said Birchwood Principal Jeff Stanley. To ensure BVA isn’t among those, the new school will make connection times, a regular series of planned weekly face-toface experiences with other BVA students and Birchwood School staff. Weekly connection days will also allow students to become involved with extracurricular and co-curricular activities, as well as being able to take some traditional school classes. Students enrolled in BVA will have the opportunity to earn up to 18 college credits at no expense to their family. BVA will also be partnering with Middlebury Language Institute to offer many world languages including French, German, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin, Chinese and Spanish. Daryan Schultz, a freshman Birchwood student, studied Japanese this year as part of a small-scale implementation of virtual learning. Because of her knowledge of Japanese, Schultz is in the process of being considered to be a foreign

Letters to the editor Gratitude to those who helped Gratitude is extended to all who helped the Shell Lake Honor Guard provide our Memorial Day program. The city worked around all the construction to make ready
The congregation of the Shell Lake United Methodist Church extends their gratitude to the school administration and teaching staff for having a community service day and for the high school
the park for our annual program, only to have the rain change our plans. The Shell Lake School District and Ben Kunselman came to our rescue and of-
fered the school gym for us to hold our Memorial Day program. The rain did let up enough to allow us to provide honors at the cemetery.
We appreciate everyone that helped make this a wonderful day of remembrance. The Shell Lake Honor Guard
Appreciates the students
students who came to our church and did a magnificent job. They washed all the windows in and out, washed screens, and weeded the borders and placed rocks in the borders.
These are only some of the activities that they accomplished. We appreciate the work that the students did and were impressed with the quality of the work and of the workers.

Obama recognizes and honors our fallen military The letter writer in the May 20 edition of the Register seems more interested in enmity than facts, in claiming that President Obama does not care about our military or America. Obama has promoted several initiatives to help our military veterans. He has directed the first redesign of the military’s Transition Assistance Program in over 20 years, which helps vets transition back to the workforce. He has implemented a range of policies to connect vets to jobs,
such as the Returning Heroes Tax Credit, the Wounded Warriors Tax Credit and special small-business loans for our veterans. Under his administration, the number of mental-health-care professionals in the Veterans Administration has been increased by 48 percent with the goal of preventing suicides. This month the first and second ladies will receive an award in recognition of their work with Joining Forces, a highly successful initiative, which combines federal resources with
local programs in providing housing for our homeless veterans. The George W. Bush administration, on the other hand, knew about the delays in VA services and the cover-up with false record keeping as early as 2005, and did nothing to correct the problems. The Bush administration started the Iraq War based on false premises, the result of which flooded our VA services, and they did not provide enough resources to take care of our wounded vets. Also, President Bush,
as a way of concealing the casualties of his war, prevented the press from being present when the caskets containing our military were returned home. When Obama was inaugurated, he immediately opened up the proceedings of the return of our dead warriors to the press, so as to recognize and honor their sacrifice.

Legislative action slides teacher licensing standards toward the bottom MADISON — Major changes to teacher licensing voted into the 2015-17 state budget, without a hearing, put Wisconsin on a path toward the bottom, compared to the nation, for standards required of those who teach at the middle and high school level, according to a news release from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Adopted as a K-12 omnibus motion by the Joint Committee on Finance, the education package deregulates licensing standards for middle and high school teachers across the state. The legislation being rolled into the biennial budget would require the Department of Public Instruction to license anyone with a bachelor’s degree in any subject to teach English, social studies, mathematics and science. The only requirement is that a public school or school district or a private choice school determines that the individual is proficient and has relevant experience in each subject they teach. Traditional licensure requires educators in middle and high school to have a bachelor’s degree and a major or minor in the subject they teach, plus completion of intensive training on skills required to be a teacher, and successful passage of skills and subject con-
tent assessments. Additionally, the JFC motion would require the DPI to issue a teaching permit for individuals who have not earned a bachelor’s degree, or potentially a high school diploma, to teach in any subject area, excluding the core subjects of mathematics, English, science and social studies. The only requirement would be that the public school or district or private voucher school determines that the individual is proficient and has relevant experience in the subject they intend to teach. For both provisions in the JFC motion, the DPI would not be able to impose any additional requirements. This may preclude the fingerprinting and background checks required of all other licensed school staff. The standard also is lower than that currently required for teachers in choice and charter schools, who must have at least a bachelor’s degree. “We are sliding toward the bottom in standards for those who teach our students,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers. “It doesn’t make sense. We have spent years developing licensing standards to improve the quality of the teacher in the classroom, which is the most important school-based factor in im-
proving student achievement. Now we’re throwing out those standards.” Currently, all 50 states require a beginning teacher to have a bachelor’s degree for traditional licensure, with a narrow exception for career and technical education teachers in Georgia. The states have differing standards for alternative routes to licensure, generally requiring major content coursework or a test in lieu of coursework for individuals to be eligible for an alternate route to earn a teaching license. “Wisconsin has several routes for career changers, who want to teach our elementary and secondary school students, to earn a teaching license through alternative programs,” Evers noted. “Emergency permits allow them to work under supervision while completing educator preparation program requirements. Each alternative route program ensures that candidates are supported and are ready to do the job independently when they complete alternative licensing requirements.” Under provisions of the omnibus motion, the leaders of 424 public school districts, 23 independent public charter schools (2R charters), and potentially hundreds of private choice schools would
determine who is qualified to teach in their schools. Current provisions of the JFC motion would restrict these licenses to teaching at the district or school that recommended the individual for licensure. “Learning about how children develop, managing a classroom and diffusing conflict among students, working with parents, and developing engaging lessons and assessments that inform instruction — these are the skills our aspiring educators learn in their training programs,” Evers said. “Teaching is much more than being smart in a subject area. “This motion presents a race to the bottom,” Evers said. “It completely disregards the value of the skills young men and women develop in our educator training programs and the life-changing experiences they gain through classroom observation and student teaching. This JFC action is taking Wisconsin in the wrong direction. You don’t close gaps and improve quality by lowering standards.” - from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
Rice Lake man airlifted after two-vehicle accident Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — A Rice Lake man was airlifted from Shell Lake on Friday, May 22, after hitting a truck crossing Hwy. 53 from CTH D. Cynthia Martin, 53, Sarona, was driving a 2006 Ford F-150 truck westbound on CTH D and crossed the northbound traffic of Hwy. 53, entered the center yield section and crossed into southbound traffic of Hwy. 53. Simultaneously, Lynne Javener, 58, and her passenger, Cary Javener, 68, both of Rice Lake, were southbound on Hwy. 53 in a 1998 Ford passenger car and struck the passenger side of Martin’s truck . An eyewitness account taken from Conservation Warden Joshua Loining states, “It appeared to Loining the truck pulled out in front of the southbound car.” Loining assisted after the accident using a fire extinguisher in his squad vehicle to put out the fire in the Javeners vehicle. Cary Javener was airlifted from Shell Lake while Martin and Lynne Javener received other medical transport for their injuries. Both vehicles sustained very severe damage and were towed. Martin was cited for inattentive driving, failure to yield and operating after revocation.

Youth tractor and machinery training dates set SPOONER — Wisconsin Law requires that any youth less than 16 years of age must be certified if they operate a tractor or machinery on public roads – even if working for a parent or guardian. In addition, federal law prohibits hiring or even allowing any youth under the age of 16 to participate in any hazardous work activities, including operating tractors over 20-PTO h.p., unless the youth has a training certificate or is working on a farm owned and operated by his or her parent or guardian.
A tractor and farm machinery safety certification program that satisfies both federal and state requirements will be held at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, June 8, 9, and 11, from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Youths participating in this course will receive classroom instruction and supervised tractor-driving experience. Students must be at least 12 years old to enroll and must attend all training sessions and complete written

Arts center welcomes former camp participant to faculty of guitar and bass workshop SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Arts Center is pleased to announce that former camp participant and locally celebrated freelance musician Dustin DeGolier will be teaching their Guitar and Bass Workshop July 12–17. DeGolier, a native of Cumberland, began studying guitar and music theory with Manfred Schonauer at age 11. He has studied with fellow SLAC camp faculty Billy Barnard at the University of Minnesota - Duluth. At UW-Milwaukee, where he achieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in music performance with an emphasis in jazz guitar, he worked under faculty members Pete Billmann, Elina Chekan and Don Linke. He has participated in master classes with renowned guitarists Mark Whitfield, Bruce Forman and Julian Lage. When he’s not practicing or performing, he can be found teaching private lessons at the Pipe Dream Center in Comstock and the Dancing Bird Art Studio in Cumberland. DeGolier maintains a regular performance schedule playing both guitar and bass with groups throughout Northwestern Wisconsin. When asked about his experiences as a former Shell Lake Arts Center camper, DeGolier had this to say: “The Shell Lake Arts Center truly transformed my abilities and ambitions as a young musician. In fact, it was not until I attended my first camp at 14 years old that I realized the amount of time, work and study necessitated by the performing arts. The atmosphere of camp, from the world-class instructors to the legions of other aspiring young musicians, pushed my playing to a whole new level. It was at Shell Lake that my passion to be a serious professional

musician blossomed. I entered camp as a greenhorn novice and left with a wealth of knowledge and technique that has shaped my musicianship to this day. The Shell Lake Arts Center is a unique opportunity for any determined youth seeking the next big step in his or her chosen field. In our current economy, camps like the ones I attended are perhaps more important than ever. The one-on-one guidance my expert teachers gave me, as well as the groups comprised of young, like-minded individuals I was able to perform with, were absent in my high school curriculum and small hometown. The SLAC helped fill the gap in my learning and performing experience. Young people that are desperate for an outlet to study, create and perform need to find the oasis waiting for them in Shell Lake. It is my utmost privilege to say that I am a part of this year’s program and to be able to give back to an organization that I have profound respect and admiration for. Long live the Shell Lake Arts Center!” You can catch Dustin regularly performing with the group Paisan, and this year they will be the opening act for Dustin Lynch at the Rice Lake Aquafest on Friday, June 12. He also performs with a jazz quartet on June 13 at the Pipe Dream Center in Comstock. Shell Lake Arts Center Guitar and Bass Workshop is for guitarists of all abilities completing grades 6-12. It provides exposure all styles and techniques of electric and acoustic guitar and bass, and a fun atmosphere for workshop participants.

Deer are increasingly active and will dart onto roadways MADISON — With their size, swiftness and unpredictability, deer are huge hazards for motorists. In June, they likely will be even more prevalent on Wisconsin roads. Deer activity increases this time of year as the does search for places to give birth and young deer separate from their mothers. With this increased activity, drivers may encounter more deer darting into the paths of their vehicles without warning. Although motor vehicle collisions with deer peak in the fall months, June is one of the worst months for driver and passenger injuries due to deer crashes. In four of the last five years, June ranked as the worst or second worst month for motorists’ injuries from deer crashes, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “The best way to avoid crashes with
deer is to slow down, put down your cell phone and eliminate all distractions while you drive. You also need to buckle up in case a crash can’t be avoided,” says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Motorcyclists must be especially careful because collisions with deer can be fatal to motorcycle operators and passengers. Last year in Wisconsin, eight out of the 10 people killed in crashes with deer were motorcyclists.” Law enforcement agencies reported 18,312 deer versus motor vehicle crashes last year. WisDOT offers the following advice to avoid deer crashes: • Be vigilant in early morning and evening hours, the most active time for deer. • Eliminate distractions while driving and slow down.
• Always wear your safety belt — there are fewer and less severe injuries in crashes when safety belts are worn. • If you see a deer by the side of the road, slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away. When you see one deer, look for another one — deer seldom run alone. • If you find a deer looming in your headlights, don’t expect the deer to move away. Headlights can confuse a deer and cause the animal to freeze. Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path. Do not swerve. It can confuse the deer as to where to run. It can also cause you to lose control and hit a tree or another car. The one exception is if you are
riding a motorcycle. In this case, you should slow down, brake firmly and then swerve if you need to in order to avoid hitting the deer. When swerving on a motorcycle, always try to stay within the lane if at all possible to avoid hitting other objects. • If your vehicle strikes a deer, stay in your vehicle and do not touch the animal if it is still alive. The injured deer, while attempting to move could hurt you or itself. Walking or stopping on the highway is very dangerous — you could be hit by an oncoming vehicle if you get out of your car. The best advice is to get your car off the road if possible, and call law enforcement. — from WisDOT

Even though the family had evidence suggesting Kelder’s remains were there, the Pentagon wouldn’t dig up the graves.

Lawmakers OK highway “trail” highlighting Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in Wisconsin Maureen McCollum | WPR News MADISON - State lawmakers hope a new highway trail stretching from Sauk to Kenosha counties will draw tourists to some of Wisconsin’s famous architecture. The Joint Finance Committee approved plans for the Frank Lloyd Wright Heritage Trail this week. New highway signs along the trail will point out some of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most notable works, like the S.C. Johnson headquarters in Racine, Unitarian Meeting House in Madison, and Taliesen in Spring Green. Many of Wright’s 55 Wisconsin sites will be featured, but the list will exclude certain private homes. Rep. Todd Novak helped add the plan to the state budget, saying it will be an economic driver for the communities along the trail. The Dodgeville Re-
publican said it will attract out-of-town tourists and remind Wisconsinites that the architectural masterpieces are in their backyards. “Frank Lloyd Wright has a very large following from people all over the country. I see it in the Spring Green area. The summer is full of people who come to see his property and they’re in awe,” said Novak. The committee budgeted $500,000 for the Department of Tourism to create the trail and promote Wright’s work over the next biennium. Frank Lloyd Wright Wisconsin President Lois Berg said the group has wanted to create a Frank Lloyd Wright Heritage Trail for years, but never had the funding. She said this will help promote the sites that had little marketing in years past.

State Patrol Law of the Month Safety devices required when towing trailers SPOONER — Before you leave home for a fishing or camping trip this summer, the Wisconsin State Patrol urges you to make sure that your boat, camper, trailer or other piece of towed equipment is securely fastened to your vehicle. “For safe towing on roadways, state law requires that the ball and hitch coupling assembly must match exactly and fit securely,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Capt. Jeff Frenette of the Northwest Region. “Two safety chains of proper length and strength also must be attached between the vehicle and the trailer. The slack on each length of chain must not be
more than is necessary to permit proper turning. A violation of this state law costs $200.50 with two demerit points added to a driver’s license.” The state patrol also offers some simple and practical advice for safe towing. Frenette says, “Before you head up north or to other parts of Wisconsin with your boat, camper or trailer, check to see if it is loaded properly and its contents are secured. A shifting load on a trailer can cause it to sway unexpectedly. Test the trailer brake lights. You also should check the axles and tires. Many trailers sit all winter long, and we see crashes caused by axles seizing or tires blowing. You should carry a spare tire because specialty tires for trailers may be hard to find when you’re far from home or it’s the middle of the night.” — from WSP

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — Growing up is full of memories, like when children leave training wheels behind and move on to a “big kid bike.” A bike can take a person many places and through many learning experiences. In local author R. J. Kinderman’s newest book, “Beans and Lolo’s Big Bike Ride,” readers are taken on a bike adventure across the United States with two children, Beans and Lolo. “Beans and Lolo’s Big Bike Ride” is Kinderman’s first children’s book. It delivers rhythmic text with colorful illustrations that bring Beans and Lolo’s bike adventure to life. Using the childhood nicknames of Kinderman’s son, Ben, and his wife, Lauren, or Beans and Lolo, make the pair endearing. Children and adults will find following the duo’s travels across America interesting and enjoyable. Together Beans and Lolo visit national landmarks, experience the rich geography, landscape and diversity of America. The illustrations, done by Kinderman’s sister Mary Waterfall, depict iconic American scenes with vivid colors and humorous imagination. “It took about two years from start to the time I got the books in my hand and it turned out better than I could have
hoped,” said Kinderman. Formerly the Spooner High School principal, Kinderman utilized his experience as an educator, finding an opportunity for children to learn U.S. geography through an entertaining and colorful book. “Virtually every teacher I talked to said that geography has been pushed out of the curriculum in recent years,” said Kinderman. To make sure the book would deliver on the educational level, Kinderman worked with two focus groups of elementary teachers, in Spooner and Oshkosh. “The help that I got from the teachers was invaluable. They are the experts,” he said. Written at the second-grade level, Kinderman also used curriculum standards for alignment in kindergarten through third grade for reading comprehension, foundational skills, language, science and writing. On Saturday, June 6, at 1 p.m., Northwind Book and Fiber in Spooner is sponsoring a book signing for the publishing of the book. All are invited to attend. This is Kinderman’s second book. His first book, “Tailwinds Across America,” took readers on the real-life coast-to-coast bike adventure he and his wife pedaled.

Regional champions for the fifth straight year
Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake softball team earned the regional championship for the fifth year in a row with a 17-6 win over the second-seeded Northwood Evergreens on Friday, May 29. The first game of the sectional was played Tuesday, June 2, with McDonell Central. The winner of that game will travel to Gilman to play the winner of the game between Glenwood City and Cochrane/Fountain City. Shell Lake played a tough Solon Springs Eagle team in the second round of the regional playoffs on Thursday, May 28. The Eagles came ready to play, taking an early four-run lead. Kaylea Kidder was the starting pitcher for Shell Lake and she struggled with the Solon Springs batters who were hitting against her at will. Coach Mark Lehnherr put in Emily Parish as a relief pitcher and Parish shut the Eagle hitters down. With an 11-9 lead going into the sixth inning, the Lakers extended the lead to 17-9. Kidder came back in the top of the seventh to seal the game, facing only four batters. The Solon Springs team was the surprise team in the playoffs, defeating Birchwood 5-2 on Tuesday, May 26. The final game of the regional playoffs came down to the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the region. Shell Lake had defeated Northwood, 12-1, two weeks prior to the final game. Northwood came in wanting revenge and the championship but came up short as the Laker bats made for a short game with Shell Lake defeating Northwood 17-6 on Friday, May 29.

Spooner softball season comes to an end
Larry Samson | Staff writer SPOONER — “Revenge is best served cold,” is a famous movie line and it was fitting as the Spooner Rails defeated Ashland 18-8 in five innings on a cold and wet Tuesday, May 26. Ashland had in the previous year defeated Spooner with the 10-run rule. This year the muchimproved Spooner team finished 13-9. First, Spooner played Northwood in a rematch on Thursday, May 21, and came away with a 16-7 win. In a prior game Northwood defeated Spooner 7-8 when Spooner had to pull their starting pitcher because of an injury. In that game graduating senior Katie Gobel was 3 of 4 with a home run. In the first round of the WIAA regionals, Spooner defeated Ashland 18-8 in five innings. The Spooner bats were strong with seven hits. Kenzie Hanson was 3 of 4 and Gobel was 2 of 4 including a three-RBI double that hit the fence and the game-ending double. Dani DeWitt was also 3 of 4 with a double and Jenna Curtis was 2 of 4 with a triple. “I am so proud of the team and the dramatic improvement they have made in one year. I will miss seeing the team and how they continue to grow,” coach Ryan McKinney said of his team at the end of the game. Spooner’s season came to an end with a 1-6 defeat to conference rivals Northwestern on Wednesday, May 27. The Rails made a game of it against a very strong team. Rice Lake went on to win the regional with a 4-0 win over Northwestern.

National Donut Day
D
oughnut or donut, however you spell it, it is still a deep-fried flour dough ring. Cake or risen dough, it is a tasty treat that every country seems to have its own variation of, even though its roots may have been in Europe. Donut Day USA — For the Love of Donuts, has declared Friday, June 5, as National Donut Day. When I first read about June 5 being National Donut Day, I envisioned myself heading to the Frederic Bakery to gaze into the cases full of donuts ranging from spiced-just-right plain cake donuts, cake donuts that were rolled in powered and granular sugar, those that were frosted with a vanilla frosting with added candy sprinkles, chocolate frosted, glazed raised and sugared raised. In
fact, I did stop into the bakery one Saturday morning and left without making a purchase. I left, not only because of the long line of customers waiting to select their favorites, but I found I wasn’t able to make a wise decision as to what would be my favorite. I knew I could easily pass up the white-frosted cake donut with colorful sprinkles. I knew when it came to writing about donuts, I wouldn’t be inspired if I bought a bag of those minidonuts that seem like a wax-covered confection. The smells of fresh minidonuts available at fairs usually grab my attention and I am satisfied after eating a couple, not the entire bag. In all honesty, I’m not as attracted to donuts as I once was. It may have something to do with the fact that daughter Amanda worked at the Frederic Bakery while in high school. Before she got her driver’s license, I would sit in the back with her late in the evenings while she cleaned and prepared pans before
owner Bruce Tromberg would come in during the night to start baking. Maybe by being exposed to and actually consuming a few too many of those temping delights, it took away the specialness of getting an occasional bakery treat. According to Donut Day USA, the Salvation Army played a role in making donuts popular to American taste buds. In his book, “Donuts: An American Passion,” John T. Edge credits the Salvation Army donut girls, who served complimentary donuts and coffee to soldiers in wartime during World War I and World War II, as being a symbol of motherhood and home. If you choose to celebrate National Donut Day, may you find your favorite version of the donut to enjoy along with a beverage that compliments the flavor of this long-standing treat.
Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Reviving memories by Mary B. Olsen obody wants to hear someone say he or she is slipping. Falling on ice or sliding on a banana peel? No, it means the mind is not working as it once did, and it is due to old age. My mother believed that one must use their mind every day by working a crossword puzzle or by reading a variety of kinds of literature. I followed her idea and have always tried to find new corridors of thought to travel in my mind if not actually. What you don’t use, you lose. A drop of oil makes the motor run smoothly – it also works for our minds. As long as we learn new things we are improving our minds. I try to improve my memory but it seems that the old memories are sharper than the events of yesterday. I enjoy looking at the old-time furnishings, the knickknacks wearing layers of cobwebs, that have rested in attics, and are finally cast out for the thrift stores. These kinds of items bring back floods of memories for other days and different times. I have put together some thoughts to get our brains moving and stop slipping. I have found some answers to age-old questions. Do you know which came first, the chicken or the egg? The answer is it was the egg. Why? The egg was already part of the reproductive method of reptiles hundreds of years before chickens made their debut. Do crocodiles have tears? No, they may feel bad but they don’t cry. Now that I have started, why not satisfy our inquisitive nature by finding other answers I have researched? Can birds fly into space? Not outer space. We know they need oxygen but they also need gravity to swallow. And swallows really fly to Capistrano, nearly every year. A bird eats half its weight in food every day. How far is Russia from America? Let’s see, you go across the Atlantic Ocean and then ... no, it’s only three miles if you go by way of Alaska. How far is it from Illinois Avenue to Tennessee Avenue? Only a few inches

he boat inspections have begun again down at the Shell Lake boat landing. Since startup this year, the inspectors checked a total of 271 boats. No harmful vegetation was found during the inspections. Saturday, May 23, was the busiest day we have had this year. That day alone had 81 boats. People often ask the inspectors various questions such as where the best fishing spots
on the Monopoly Board. Who were the first passengers on a hot air balloon? Not people. They were a duck, a sheep and a rooster. I don’t think they volunteered. Before Walt Disney made Mickey Mouse an American icon another cartoon character was the favorite. It was Felix the Cat. Walt Disney gave us so many cartoon figures, from that small mouse and the cranky duck, to Dumbo the elephant. Are you afraid of spiders? Then you are arachnophobic. If you want to destroy spiders you are insecticidal. These disputable facts are exercises of the mind, but sometimes the wise sayings of rare individuals are food for consideration. Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” Bertrand Russell said, “There is much pleasure to be obtained from useless knowledge.” Theodore Roosevelt wrote about the Grand Canyon; “Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is keep it for your children, your children’s children, and all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American, if he can travel at all, should see.” Mark Twain wrote, “All you need is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure. John Steinbeck wrote the book “Travels With Charlie,” in which he tells about his journey across the United States with only his dog as a companion. He wrote about Wisconsin: “I had never been to Wisconsin, but all my life I had heard about it, had eaten its cheeses, some of them as good as any in the world. And I must have seen pictures. Everyone must have. Why then was I unprepared for the beauty of this region, for its variety of field and hill, forest, lake? I think now I must have considered it one big level cow pasture because of the state’s enormous yield of milk products. I never saw a country that changed so rapidly, and because I had not expected it, everything I saw brought a delight.” The author drove through Wisconsin in October. He are, and which side of the landing is better. These are usually personal preference questions, and since most of the inspectors do not use the landing themselves, we do not actually know the answers to these questions and have to answer with what we have heard from previous boaters. The number of annual and daily permits sold since startup was quite high due to Memorial Day weekend and it being the beginning of the year. We sold 96 annual permits for a total of $1,920, and we sold 103 daily permits for a total of $515, for a grand total of $2,435.

There in the brush a hungry fox stood, He pounced, then proclaimed, Mmmm, mmm … good.” The moral of this poem, be prepared to go, Our time of departure we just don’t know. A trip to “let’s dine” the whole family was treated, Then twice every week dining out was repeated. Their good doctor worried their cholesterol was too high, He made another appointment, but they did not reply. The moral of this poem, be prepared to go. Our time of departure we just don’t know. A powerful buck confused by the fog, Entered high traffic when pursued by a dog. Drive badly injured, the deer was put down, Sign says, … claim dog and pay vet bill in town. A handsome teen dropped from school, Made fast drug cash as a midnight mule. Beaten and robbed, later found shot, One lone cross marks the spot. A meadowlark in the meadow sang, His melodious voice through the lowlands rang. A majestic eagle dipped in flight, And stopped the music with claws and a bite. The moral of the story, Be prepared to go, Our time of departure we just don’t know The Siren tornado instigated this poem, Sylvan felt safe in his house, Until the storm called him home. Sylvan had claimed Jesus as his Lord and Savior and believed in John 3:16. It is written on his gravestone. Daily missed by Shirley Stellrecht, Julie and Ron.

ights shine more brightly when the night is at its darkest moment. Stars illuminate the skies with more beauty and brilliance when there is no glare from the glow of a city. Light also brings shadows and can cause blindness. Light even creates illusions of things that do not exist like streams of water on parched desert sand. But there is one light that enables us to see the light. It is the Light of God that comes from the Word of God when his word and his ways are illuminated by his Holy Spirit. Psalm 36 contains an important theme for the Christian. All too often we willingly accept the teachings of individuals who offer a solution to our problems from sources that are not consistent with God’s truth. David clearly warns us about this problem. He writes that we may unwisely “flatter” ourselves because we are “deceived” by not being able to “detect sin.” He offers the solution for the method we are to use to discriminate the truth about sin, “in your light we see light.” John clearly emphasized this also, “God is light,” he assures us, “and in him there is no darkness.” Light represents what is good, pure, true, holy and reliable. Darkness, on the other hand, represents what is sinful and evil. The light that comes from God’s word is true and reliable and will guide us from the darkness of sin into the light of God’s love, mercy and grace. His light will save us from the sin of self-deception and death.

Obituaries
Bernice J. Nyhus Bernice J. Nyhus passed away at the Cumberland Extended Care Unit on May 27, 2015. Her life journey began 99 years ago on May 26, 1916. She was born near Silver Lake, east of Cumberland, to Dave and Elsie (Cox) Anderson. Her only sibling, Clarence, was born two years later. She attended elementary school at Silver Lake, and after graduating high school at Cumberland in 1933, she earned a teaching degree at Barron County Normal School a year later. After two decades of teaching, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree from River Falls College in 1966. Her first assignment was in 1934 at Pine Hill schoolhouse northeast of Cumberland, where she reportedly arrived at school by 5:30 a.m. to stoke the woodstove and warm the building for students. She said this was the expectation of all teachers in those days, and she appreciated her salary of $65/month. She finished her 30-year career at Shell Lake in 1979 and upon retirement moved back to Cumberland. Although teaching was always in her blood, her love for family and Jesus was her sustaining grace throughout her life. She was introduced to faith by her aunt, Kitty (Cox), and uncle Willis Stackhouse at age 12, reporting this was the first time she had set foot in any church. By age 14, she was baptized and later confirmed in her Christian faith. As an adult she also attained a full year of formal Scripture study in 1962-63 when she studied at the Lutheran Bible Institute in Minneapolis. She valued her Christian service in parish ministries. She was a supporter and source of encouragement to her husband, the Rev. H.E. Nyhus, during the five years he served the Winger parish in Minnesota. As a member of Salem Lutheran Church in Shell Lake and First Lutheran Church of Cumberland, she led Bible studies and served in various roles, always with a focus on the word of God and loving service to others in Christ.

Family was so important to Bernice, and although she never bore her own children, she mothered and influenced hundreds of kids along her path. She was a matron in a Children’s Home in Poulsbo, Wash., for three years, cared for nieces Gloria, Evelyn and Carol Grant for eight years, and also cared for Ted Nystuen’s children for a year after their own mother died. Following her marriage to Horace Nyhus in 1956, she became an instant beloved mother to two boys and eventually a grandmother to several more. Bernice’s role as a grandmother and special aunt gifted many who enjoyed overnight stays in Shell Lake, fishing for crappies and bullheads, stories of Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Bear from Uncle Remus. Through our visits we understood genuine kindness, generosity and integrity. Thanks to her quiet patience, we shared our challenges and triumphs, knowing she supported us in our own path choices. She was preceded in death by husbands, Arnold Grant and Horace Nyhus; stepson, Paul Nyhus; her parents; brother Clarence Anderson; along with four nieces. She is survived by stepson Edward (Winifred) Nyhus, Minneapolis, Minn.; stepdaughter-in-law Katrina Watson, Brunswick, Maine; nephew, David Anderson, Cumberland; and multiple generations of grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Gratitude is extended to the Cumberland Extended Care Unit and all who appreciated and cared for her over these last years. A memorial service will be held at First Lutheran Church of Cumberland Monday, June 8, at 11 a.m. with visitation two hours prior to the service. Interment will be at Lakeside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed to the H.E. Nyhus Scholarship fund through Augsburg College 2211 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454 or to CHAMPs in Haiti, 1824 Deerhaven Lane NE, Rochester, MN 55906.
Dorothy E. Hansen Dorothy E. Hansen, Shell Lake, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2015, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, at the age of 90. She was born in London, England, on Dec. 5, 1924, to William and Margaret Bennett. She met and married a U.S. serviceman in London. A short time later, 1946, she came to the United States aboard the Queen Mary with her young son, Michael. They resided in Spooner for a short time and then moved to Shell Lake. In Shell Lake, she met and married Russell Hansen and they had four children. In her early years in Shell Lake, Dorothy worked at various jobs: Allen Gas and Oil, Tip Town Supper Club, Masterjohn Drug and finally the Shell Lake State Bank where she had a long career. She was a dedicated mother helping her children with various school functions and attending most of their athletic events. In her spare time she loved to bowl, was an avid gardener, was a member of the Methodist Church Ladies Guild serving as treasurer for many years and belonged to the Shell Lake Hospital Auxiliary. Dorothy spent many hours sewing or knitting items for various charities. Her sewing expertise was widely known with many Shell Lake residents coming to her for alterations of dresses and pants, or the making of dresses and other clothing. She was often embarrassed
to charge for this, often taking little or no money for doing so. Dorothy is survived by her children, Michael (Bev) Thomas, Cumberland, Dale (Kathy) Hansen, Shell Lake, Wendy (Van) Peterson, Trego, Keith (Teresa) Hansen, Shell Lake, and Brian Hansen, Shell Lake; grandchildren, Michelle (Rory) Latz, Shell Lake, Richard (Kristen) Thomas, Shell Lake, Angela (Shawn) Daniels, Cumberland, Chris (Miranda) Hansen, Eagan, Minn., Cory Hansen, Hudson, Cheryl Hansen, Burnsville, Minn., Carla (Dean) Chester, Oak Grove, Minn., Garrett Peterson, Ham Lake, Minn., Shannon (James) Whitt, Cumberland, Ryan (Carmen) Hansen, Baldwin, Aaron (Kyla) Hansen, River Falls, Adam (Jess) Smith, Shell Lake, Sarah Taylor, Shell Lake, Shenna Dahlstrom, Shell Lake, Lane Hansen, Spooner, and Bryce Hansen, Spooner; 23 great-grandchildren; brothers, Arthur and Gordon; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.

It’s time to turn the calendar for another month. Yes, it’s June and time for the dairy breakfasts to start. The Tri-County Dairy Breakfast will be at the Washburn County Fairgrounds in Spooner on Saturday, June 13. Plan to attend as the breakfast is delicious and a lot of fun. Of course, June is Dairy Month and time to say, “Hats off to the American dairy farmers.” Yes, it’s time to honor the dairymen and thank them for the delicious dairy products they provide for all of us. And of course, it’s brides month. Yes, it’s that time when brides get the urge to tie the knot. Happy birthday to Donna Crosby and to Judy Leonard on June 11. Have a wonderful day. They certainly have the floods in Texas. Yes, 29 people have lost their lives and the floods continue with more rain expected. Aren’t you glad you don’t live there? Congratulations to Cory and Stephanie Cowell on the birth of a son May 21. Colton Timothy weighed in at 6 pounds, 9 ounces and was 20-1/2 inches long. Colton’s grandparents are Susie and Tim Pederson and greats are Marie and Warren Quam and Helen Pederson. May you enjoy that little precious boy for many years to come. Memorial Day found Rick and Jane Laterbach, Ellianna and Grace picking up Marie and Warren Quam and going to Chippewa Falls to Cory and Stephanie’s to get acquainted with little Colton. I understand Marie held and held little Colton and Janie finally had to ask her mom, Marie, to give him to her to hold. While there they visited at Megan and Dustin’s home and found it beautiful. Then Rick and Janie and girls took Marie and Warren out to the Red Lobster for dinner, which they said was great. Janie tells me Marie thoroughly enjoyed being with all the kids and especially Colton. On Wednesday, Rick and Janie and Grace took Ellianna to River Falls where Patti Feeney met them and took Ellianna until this coming week. Ellianna loves Trisha and was so excited to go. She will be 5 in July and then it will be time for school for Ellianna. Janie tells us son Noah has finished with baseball for another year. So all in all, the families had a great time. Cameron Schools will be getting out, the kids on Thursday at noon and the teachers on Friday, June 5. You can bet lots of students are saying, “Hooray!” On Memorial Day Jim and Sandy Atkinson and son Jimmy, who was home for the weekend, went to Sandy’s sister’s, Nancy Atkinson’s, to enjoy a barbecue. We hear Curt Zeimer isn’t well and is having some tests. Also, his wife has been laid off from her job. Last weekend, Diane Hulleman, Ginny and Jack Schnell and their grandson, Jackson, went on the train ride from Spooner to Trego. Jackson was in his glory as
Stone Lake
he just loves trains. The engineer who drove the train gave Jackson a bunch of knickknacks like a cap with a train on it. Jackson really enjoyed it. Jackson turned 2 in May so a great time for him and his parents. Memorial Day weekend found Chad and Colleen Jensen and daughter Izzy, Jack and Ginny Schnell and Jackson coming to Diane’s for the day. Diane made a wonderful lunch for all and it was enjoyed. Jack tilled Diane’s garden for her as her tiller wouldn’t start. Diane tells us she just got the tiller last year. John Bradric is up at his home along with a couple of his friends. John enjoys this country living, too. Sunday, Diane Hulleman took in the two graduations and said she really enjoyed it. You get to see people you haven’t seen for a while and it’s great. Diane has been very busy mowing her lawn, Dewey Town Hall’s lawn and planting so many, many flowers. Diane tells us Cody Pettis has been moved to Eau Claire for rehab since his car accident. This past week we had a good inch of rain, Marv Knoop tells us. Marv tell us there’s been a few fishermen on Bashaw Lake this past weekend. Those fishermen love to wet their lines, don’t they. Talking with Betty Meister, she tells us on Memorial weekend, Beth and Mark Hansen, Alyssa and Ryan, and Bev and Jarrett Casselious were at their home. Eric Casselious just got done with college on May 29. Beth only has three more days of teaching school for the year. Carl planted Betty’s garden and Betty says she has peas, onions and potatoes up. I wish I had his help. My Sunshine loved to work in our garden, which I didn’t. I picked the veggies and did a lot of canning and freezing. It certainly saved us a bunch of money. I see gas is up to $2.70 a gallon now at local gas stations. I heard on TV that gas prices were to be the lowest we’ve seen in years. The Sunday before Memorial Day found Jerry and Gretchen Best at Lillian Strege’s in Luck. Other relatives gathered there also to enjoy the day. Jerry has now got the garden in. Why do men like to put gardens in? During the week, Jerry and Gretchen attended the visitation for Ole Randall, 79, who passed away in the neighborhood Gretchen grew up in. A week ago Saturday found Penny and Reyana Ladd coming to visit me. They brought me flowers to plant also. Penny and Reyana helped to clean up the third bedroom while they were here. Well, as I was cleaning, I found most of the stuff in the bedroom was from Penny’s little ones but too small even for Reyana and so much other stuff. So it went back to Penny’s for a garage sale. Robin Melton was up for the Memorial Day weekend
at her mom and dad’s, Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s. Evelyn tells us she had all six of their children, mates and kids at their house for Memorial Day. She tells us she bought chicken for the bunch with potluck brought by her children. Homer Melton, Fridley, Minn., was fishing in northern Minnesota and caught a nice bunch of fish and stopped in the day of the fun at Cecil’s. Memorial Day found Butch and Loretta VanSelus at the Spooner Vets Memorial Cemetery. This is where Loretta’s brother, Don, and his brother are buried. Butch says he put in the garden this past week. Says his blueberries are leafing out. Sunday evening through Monday morning, Butch tells us they had light frost and white frost along the creek. On Sunday after church, the VanSeluses went to Nick’s for lunch. Saturday, the Doug Vanderhoofs cut hay. Also a number of farmers are cutting hay and will start this week. Karen Vanderhoof tells us they got the crops in. A week ago on Saturday at Karen’s there was a baby shower for Bennett Vanderhoof. On Sunday they attended the graduation party for Bryan Knoop at the Mark Knoops’. Lots of people attended. On Memorial weekend Katie and Dave Kinde and children Logan and Megan, Trent’s family and Travis and Kyle’s family were at the Vanderhoofs’. Talking with my favorite sister, Marie Quam, we find her in great spirits. Why? Well she got to hold that dear little Colton and thoroughly enjoyed it. She says Jim Quam is getting up very early and cutting hay in the night until chore time. And it makes for a very long day for Jim. Marie tells us her daughter, Susie Pederson, stayed with Stephanie and Cory Cowell and helped after the baby was born, which is great. Tyler Crosby graduated from Shell Lake High School on May 22. On May 23 there was a party for Tyler at his parents’, Shorty and Melissa Crosby’s with many people attending. Garry and Beth attended their grandson’s party and enjoyed the evening. Chad and Ashley Crosby and children Chase, Morgan and Joyel were home for the weekend and attended. This past weekend, Chad’s were home so Beth had her three sons and families at their house for Sunday dinner. Beth tells us her sons cut hay and are hoping to get it dry and up or chopped. On Memorial Day, Beth tells us she went to McKinley memorial services and then to Lakeview Methodist service and then went to Indian Creek where she helped serve dinner for the auxiliary. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

June arrived a bit cool. I had 40 degrees Monday morning. It was bright and sunny. Last week we got some nice rains, which were badly needed. Folks are busy mowing yards and getting gardens and flowers planted. The lupines and columbine are now blooming, so the hummers are having a field day, doing from floret to floret. School days have come to an end for another school year. Casey Furchtenicht got home from Northland College for the summer on Saturday. Just in time to attend some Shell Lake friends’ graduation parties. It’s the month of June. Time for those luscious, nutritious, and fun-to-go-to dairy breakfasts. The Rosek family at 658 13 St., Hillsdale, are hosting the Barron County 41st-annual breakfast on Saturday, June 6, 6-11 a.m. Our Tri-County Dairy Breakfast is the following Saturday, June 13, from 6:30-10:30 a.m. to be held again at the Washburn County Fairgrounds. Andy and Emily Frey are moving to their newly purchased house. Friday night was their first night there. We wish them happiness in their new place. The Frey family all camped at their campsite on their place on Little Ripley over Memorial weekend. Virginia Stodola’s son Jack, Onalaska, was at his mom’s last Monday and Tuesday. Harmony Stoll, Rice Lake, and Chic Harrell, Spooner, visited Virginia on Saturday afternoon. Vicki Krantz Zarada sold her house in Henderson, Nev., and has moved back to Shell Lake. She has been here about a week. Ericka Parker and her mom, Sue Krantz, attended her son Chane Hutton’s fifth-grade end-of-the-year picnic of the Birchwood School held at Twin Lakes Farm. Report that it was really nice. Renee and Marilyn Zimmerman spent the past weekend with friends, Sue and Michelle, at Sue’s cabin near Hayward. They went out for lunch, did some shopping and had a fun time. Glad to report Bonnie Helmer got home on Thursday and is getting around carefully. Keep on the mend, Bon-

nie. Another dear friend has left us. Dorothy Hansen, 90, well-known and respected lady of Shell Lake, has died. Her funeral was Monday, June 1, at the Shell Lake United Methodist Church with the Rev. Steve Miller officiating. She will be dearly missed. Sympathy is extended. She was a great lady, active in church, at one time a bowler, worked several places and a longtime teller at the Shell Lake State Bank. Several folks reported they have checked out the new Country Grocery Store that recently opened across from the State Patrol Office in Spooner. Reports are it’s really nice. The best is wished for them. We have another new business in the Sarona area, Perlick Distillery on CTH B, just east of Rummel’s Tap. Check out their ad in the Wild Rivers Advertiser or visit them online at perlickdistillery.com. Good luck and the best to them. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht and Ryan and Jessie camped at what Jaxson calls, “the Marshmallow Campground,” the old KOA north of Haugen. Ryan had a bout with Lyme’s. Watch yourself for ticks as those little things can sure make you sick. I have been lying low, having trouble with my leg for the past week or so. It sure has taken the wind out of my sails.

The congregation of Barronett Lutheran extends gratitude to Shirley Overvig for leading the service on Sunday morning. This was the third-annual service of the word that Shirley has presented while Pastor Todd attends the synod assembly, and every year she finds interesting, informative and inspiring things to talk about. And, she lets us sing the old familiar hymns. Shirley is a substitute teacher in the area schools, you know, and we have decided that any kid in her class who is not learning something must be in a coma. She is a great speaker. Thanks, Shirley. We look forward to your next service of the word. Ruth Holmes hosted a huge shindig at their home this past week in celebration of Bruce’s 65th birthday. About 35 friends and relatives came to tease him about getting older and to help him celebrate making it this far. Everyone had lots of fun, especially the kids who were treated to rides in the paddleboat. Naturally there was way too much food and birthday cake, and lots and lots of laughter. Happy birthday, Bruce. Welcome to the older-thandirt club. Devon Snowbank, our local Barron County Fairest of the Fair, and her mom, Jennifer, spent most of this past weekend working at Louie’s Brat Stand. They were raising money for the Fairest of the Fair, and seemed to be having a lot of fun doing it. Devon wore her tiara and had a big smile for everyone. They were busy most of the time, so, hopefully, they will have a big donation for the Fairest of the Fair competition. Great work, Devon. You’ll be a tough act to follow for the next young lady. Do you remember an old television show called “Father Knows Best”? Well, that is sometimes true and sometimes not so true. I’ll let you be the judge of that after I tell you this story. I had promised my little grandson, Wrig, to take him kayaking, so Sunday afternoon I headed over to their cabin to fulfill that promise. I told my son, Jim, what I was going to do, and Jim proceeded to tell me that it wasn’t a good idea. He said that Wrig didn’t know how to sit still, that we would tip over, blah, blah, blah.

I told him that kayaks are a lot more stable than canoes, and that we would be just fine. We were both wearing life jackets, what could possibly go wrong? Summer helped us get the kayak into the lake and held on to it while we got in. She handed us the paddle, I pushed off, and we were immediately upside down in the water. I don’t even know how we did it. We were up and then we were down. I have never tipped a kayak over before. Anyway, we both came up sputtering and then both Wrig and I started laughing. It was just the funniest thing. We dragged the kayak out of the lake, and I told Wrig that I would have to go home and change clothes. He really didn’t see any need for that, but finally decided that I could go but I should come right back and go out on the lake again. I convinced him that we should probably wait until the water was a little warmer. I think I will practice with him on dry land a couple of times before we try it again. OK, I guess I would vote for Jim as being the smarter one this time. That doesn’t happen often, mind you. Lynn Thon had a wonderful weekend. She, Garett, Kandice and Kane and the two dogs, Dexter and Rider, spent the weekend in a hotel in Chippewa Falls. Garett and Kandice attended the wedding of one of their friends, and Lynn was able to spend a lot of grandma time with Kane. She said that even though they were in a pet friendly hotel, the dogs did not have a very good time. The room got a little crowded with two restless dogs, a grandma and an adorable little boy. She hopes that Garett and Kandice will want her to watch Kane again for a weekend, but she said that the next time it will be at her house. The friendly neighborhood moocher, aka Terry Goodrich, had an extremely interesting experience in the Twin Cities recently. He happened to be in a place where a gentleman was displaying a collection of items that he had recently purchased from the police officer who had arrested Lee Harvey Oswald. That man had a huge collection of pictures, items used by the police, and lots and

lots of stories about the event. You probably know that Terry is quite a history buff, and, even though he’s pretty shy and retiring - that was a joke, son, you missed it he worked up enough nerve to ask numerous questions. The man who was exhibiting the items was very happy to talk about them. He showed Terry the picture taken of Oswald just before he was shot, and told him to take a good look at his face. Terry looked, and the man pointed out a few marks on his face. One of the marks was located high on his forehead just about his right eye. Well, it seems that when Oswald was cornered in a theater, he had a firearm and was resisting arrest. There were two law officers there, and, while he was resisting arrest, one of the officers, who happened to be wearing a Masons ring, struck him and cut his forehead. The man with the exhibition had both the firearms from the officers and the ring that the one officer was wearing when he struck Oswald. Terry was so interested in the exhibition and the stories behind it that he asked the man if he would mind if he took some pictures. The man told him that that would be fine, but Terry didn’t have a camera with him. He asked how long he would be there, and the man told him that he would be there for two more hours. Plenty of time to run and get a disposable camera, right? Well, Terry went down Snelling Avenue, not one of the most desirable areas in the Twin Cities, looking for a camera. He stopped in two shops with no luck, and then, as he was going into the third, there was a very portly gentleman hanging onto a post. As Terry was walking by, he muttered something about help, and when Terry asked him to repeat it, he said, “I need water and I need food.” Terry looked at him again and thought to himself that the help this guy needed would have to come from Jenny Craig. Terry told him in no uncertain terms that he didn’t have anything for him. Well, he went into the third shop, finally found a camera, and walked out of the shop. There was another gentleman, even larger than the first, and Terry’s first thought was, “Well, this is going to be interesting.” Actually, there was no problem with the second man, but Terry now has a better understanding as to why so many people have licenses to carry concealed weapons. He finally got back to the place where the man had been exhibiting the Kennedy assassination/Oswald arrest items, but he was about five minutes too late. The man had left for the day. Did Terry let that deter him? Not a chance. He drove back the next day, asked more questions, listened to more stories, and took some pictures. That day there was an older gentleman there, a friend of the man with the exhibit, and he was also very interesting. He had been in politics for years, and had been around Lyndon Johnson a lot. Terry said, after hearing about some of the things Johnson did while in office, he’s glad that he’s not a Democrat. Terry said that he spent hours at the exhibit, learned a lot of the unpublished things about the arrest, and was fascinated by everything he was told. And, yes, AJ, Terry does still exist. I couldn’t make all this stuff up. The Town of Lakeland monthly meeting for June will be held on June 9 at 7 p.m. at the Lakeland Town Hall. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hug your family. See you next week.

A
nother school year comes to an end at Shell Lake. I recently observed the awards ceremony for this year’s seniors and other distinguished students. It was a great celebration and recognition of our students. All told, there was close to $80,000 in scholarships awarded to the seniors this year, along with dozens of academic achievement awards and recognitions. The community should be proud of the commitment area residents and businesses show toward our graduates. ••• In school board news, they are going to be talking with the Shell Lake Arts Center Board about the shared use agreement, but bigger than that, they are going to be talking with them about potential long-term partnership opportunities. The potential to consolidate
needs and revenues could have considerable benefits for the school, arts center, and most importantly, the entire community of Shell Lake. I am sure there will be much more communication about this topic in the future. Another item that the school board has been talking about is a designation of funds into a Fund 46. Fund 46 is a designated fund for future long-term maintenance and building needs; very similar to our existing Fund 31 that we put $30,000 into each year. Fund 46 is a little different in that, once designated, it must be put in to a separate fund and cannot be touched for five years. I believe it would be a good idea to take some fund balance and designate it for future
LEADERNEWSROOM.COM
needs that we most certainly know that we are going to have. ••• There is a lot of transition happening within the district. As you may know, I will be retiring this summer. My last day for Shell Lake will be about July 20. The new superintendent is David Bridenhagen. He is currently an elementary principal in the Green Bay School District. We also have a new sevenththrough 12th-grade principal. Her name is Heather Cox and she comes to us from Birchwood School District. We also increased Kim Simon from 20 percent to 70 percent elementary music teacher and hired Paul Osborn at 50 percent vocal music teacher. Both of those positions will be filling
in for Steve Bulgrin who is also retiring at the end of this school year. Both Jenny and Tom Sauve will be resigning and we will be finding replacements for those positions in the very near future as well. Please welcome the new staff into the Shell Lake community. ••• We have another very busy summer school schedule. If you would like more information you can call the school or visit the school website and click on the summer school link just under the community section. Summer school is open to any student that is staying in the district, so grandchildren and other relatives also can sign up. We provide transportation and it is free.

St. Francis School elementary students are carrying a sunflower with a photo of themselves. Much like the children, the flowers represent the new hope that springs out of the ground every year. Preschool students Elizabeth Zwisler and Macey Coblentz stole the show as St. Francis de Sales School held its spring concert on Wednesday, May 20.
