Presential primary for both parties, Wisconsin Supreme Court contest, many local races Gregg Westigard | Staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY – There are at least two contests for every area voter at the April 5 election. The presidential primary is still a hot issue for each party. The Republican presidential primary ballot includes 12 names even though the race now seems to have narrowed down to Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Donald Trump. The

other nine names were still considered as possibilities when the ballot order was certified by the state. Democrats can choose between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but Martin O’Malley is also on the ballot. There is also a Wisconsin Supreme Court contest between Rebecca Bradley and Joanne Kloppenburg. Within the county there are contests for seven seats on the Washburn County Board. The cities of Shell Lake and Spooner and Birchwood Village have contests. Three school districts, Spooner, Birchwood and Rice Lake, also have contests. Details on these races are covered in separate stories.

Inside the issues of the Spooner School Board election Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - Looking closely at the six final candidates in the Spooner School Board election, five of them share similar concerns. Concerns are transparency on district and board decisions, student enrollment, staffing concerns and district finances. Candidates are Jim Dienstl, Karen Sorenson, Miles D. Macone, Robert B. Hoellen and Kevin King. Kyle Pierce was the only candidate who said consistency of members serving on the school board concerned him. Transparency Five of the six candidates mentioned in some way the importance of transparency or clarity in district and board decisions in their statement. King said he thinks there should be fewer closed session discussions. Sorenson said, “There seems to be a lack of clarity with decisions, communications and overall dealings with the school board.” One of the many transparency issues Hoellen pointed out was that, “the

board conducts too many closed sessions; whenever possible, the board’s actions or votes should be taken in full view of the community.” Dienstl spoke plainly, stating that he is running for, “the truth and the facts.” Macone said the board needs to do a better job of communicating with the public.

Student enrollment Sorenson, King and Hoellen each cited student enrollment as a concern in their statements. According to DPI and school district data the school district’s total student population, measured on the third Friday in September, has decreased every year since the 2012-13 school year. But that loss has also decreased with each passing school year. The district’s open enrollment data from 2013-14 shows the district lost 163 students to other school districts but gained 50. That amounts to nearly $600,000 in aid that left the district, because when a student transfers out of their school district

they take state aid with them. In 2015 that aid was about $5,600 per student, which, with 161 transfers out and 78 in amounted to a loss of nearly $500,000 in aid. At the January 2016 school board meeting the number of open enrollment seats were set for the 2016-17 school year; these are in addition to the students already open enrolled this year. The board approved 31 open enrollment seats in the elementary school, 37 seats in the middle school but zero in the high school or special education areas. These numbers were based on predicted class sizes and staffing. The board can increase these numbers in the future.

Staff concerns Four candidates stated they had concerns about district personnel issues. Those are Sorenson, King, Macone and Hoellen. King brought up the staff survey conducted in 2015, “that showed that we have a poor working environment, which has caused staff and students to

leave in numbers never before seen in our district.” Macone said he hopes they can figure out ways to keep teachers, adding that competitive compensation should be budgeted.

District finances Sorenson, King and Macone each stated their concern with where the school district is financially. Their concern is understandable considering how the district’s budget deficit continues to grow, despite controversial budget cuts. In the 2014-15 the district’s budget ran $830,365 in the red, and that was after the district cut $106,950 from the approved budget. This year ’s approved budget could run the district an additional $518,625, however that is a reduction of $311,740 from 2014-15. The school district says that, “after a midyear review the district is on track to hit the budgeted deficit and may even come in a little under.”

Washburn County 2015 CWD testing results released Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - In the fourth year of chronic wasting disease surveillance in Washburn County, the trend of no positive samples continues. According to the Department of Natural Resources, 135 deer samples were taken in the 2015 deer hunting season from the area where the first CWD-positive adult doe was identified in 2012. From these samples no new positives were detected. Joe Weiss, a member of the citizen advisory team which is responsible for making recommendations to the DNR for the affected area, said that just because no positives were found doesn’t eliminate the need to keep testing. “We need to ensure the disease doesn’t show, because it could show up at any time,” said Weiss. He added that maintaining the deer herd at a reasonable level helps reduce the chances of widespread CWD taking hold. “Hunters should be congratulated for

participating in the sampling process; without them this wouldn’t be possible,” said Weiss. Looking forward to the 2016 hunting season, hunters in this area can expect to hear the same request for deer samples. The ban on baiting and feeding of deer also remains in effect. Since 2012, following recommendations from the CAT, local landowners and hunters have helped the DNR sample more than 2,000 deer from within the 10-mile radius of the initial positive deer’s location. Based on this information the DNR says this indicates the disease is not widespread in the area, but may occur at a very low rate. Laboratory work published in 2004 suggests that prions, the infectious agents responsible for the transmission of CWD, can survive in soil for at least two years. A 2006 scientific study of sheep scrapie, a closely related prion disease, has shown scrapie prions remain infectious in the environment for at least 16 years.

Shell Lake’s new city project isn’t glamorous, but necessary Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - Being able to flush is an activity most take for granted, but the city of Shell Lake knows how important that activity is. In order to ensure the toilets of city residents continue to flush without fail, the city has embarked on a new project, replacing the city’s wastewater treatment plant lift station. “It wasn’t an emergency situation because there was still a pump in there

that was working, but it was a sign they needed to make some plans for either getting it repaired or replaced,” said Teresa Anderson, project engineer. In November 2015 one of the lift station’s motors, which pumps wastewater uphill for treatment, quit working. After an assessment was done, several other deficiencies with the lift station led to the decision of replacement. The city is in the process of finding funding for the project that is estimated to

cost $463,650. “The council is looking at DNR Clean Water Fund, it might not be the best fit so then they’ll look at other funding mechanisms as well,” said Anderson. In order to get the project rolling the city, with city council approval, will be covering the costs of the project until loan funding comes through. The benefit of the DNR loan is that it’s a principal forgiveness loan, where the city wouldn’t have to pay

back a portion of the loan. The summer construction on the lift station will not be visible to residents or visitors, as it is limited to the lift station location at the wastewater treatment facility. In addition, residents will not see any change in services during the construction process. “If we didn’t do the project they would see a change because eventually sewers would start backing up,” said Anderson.

Road closure planned WASHBURN COUNTY - Frank Scalzo, Washburn County Highway commissioner has announced that Pember Companies will begin the storm water roadwork on Monday, April 4, and continue through Thursday, May 26, on CTH MD from Grandview Resort south ap-

proximately one quarter mile. This portion of CTH MD will be closed with a detour planned, and signs during this construction for motorists to be able to follow. Please plan alternative routes during this time frame as no through traffic will be allowed. — from WCHD

Quiet spring election for Shell Lake School Board Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The election scene for the Shell Lake School Board is a quiet one this year. Voters will see two incumbent candidates on the Tuesday, April 5, ballot for two positions on the board.

Candidates on the ballot are Stuart Olson and Scott Smith. Olson is the current board chair, while this election marks the end of Smith’s one-year term on the board. Both positions have three-year terms.

and I hate the word transparent because it’s been overused, but you want it to be open, you want to have open government and people want to know what’s going on,” she said. Olson is also the clerk/treasurer for the Town of Gull Lake, a position she has held since 2006. “I get a different perspective that way, than just the county part,” she said. When the position first became available, after some thought, Olson knew she had to try. And so, like every other candidate,

she applied, and was selected as a semi finalist. “I hadn’t had to do a resume, application or interview for 20 years so it was kind of different, going through that again,” she said, laughing. Overall Olson said everyone in the county is pretty happy about the appointment, perhaps Olson most of all. “I am excited about the possibilities, as far as what we can do,” she said.

Administrative coordinator/from page 1 an appointed official may be designated administrative coordinator, almost as an additional duty. According to Olson there are 15 other counties in the state operating in the same manner. Olson explained that the administrative coordinator position will involve coordinating all the county departments and act as a liaison between the state, the county board, the department heads and employees. The human resources part of the position involves keeping up on employ-

ment rules and regulations, and helping employees throughout their careers. Compensation for the additional duties was approved at $40,000 a year. “I believe that, for all county staff, keeping the county’s mission as the No. 1 goal each day will keep the county on the right path,” she said, adding that communications will be one of her concentrations. “I want to make sure people know what is going on. If there is information there I am going to get it out to them …

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Do we want this? William McGurn has an editorial in the Wall Street Journal to the effect that the soft despotism of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the progressive left is being ignored by the candidates and media over and against Donald Trump’s outbursts indicating that he’d like to rule. I agree that soft despotism has intruded into our lives and is continuing to take away our rights, liberties, and to dictate how we must live our lives. Soft despotism does not so much exhibit bombast, crowd-rousing speeches, jackboots or brown shirts, but entails bureaucracies and regulations. Those rules and regula-

tions are not determined by our elected representatives but rather by unelected bureaucrats that think they know better how citizens should live than the citizens themselves. These agencies make the rules, enforce them and adjudicate them. Due process for one caught in the maw of this process is nowhere to be found. This confluence of powers found in an individual or small group James Madison once called the very definition of tyranny. McGurn cites several instances of federal executive agency overreach: a) The IRS targeting of conservative groups prior to the 2012 presidential elec-

tion and the subsequent contempt of the IRS head John Koskinen to Congress’ attempt to investigate the unlawful targeting. b) The health and human services assault on the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic charity that runs homes for the elderly poor. HSS insists that these Sisters offer contraception coverage to all their employees or face $100 fines per employee per day, which is about $70 million per year. The Sisters have to hire attorneys to defend themselves against the government that has unlimited access to taxpayer money. Thankfully donations

are being made to help them. The HSS assault is not something Congress has approved nor does it appear to be constitutional. Clinton has stated that she will doubledown on Obama’s use of executive orders and use of federal agencies to end-run Congress and defy the people’s wishes to have her way. Do we want this? What freedoms are our kids and grandkids going to have? James Lewis Shell Lake

Benefits we deserve Senior citizens like Social Security. Many in our area rely on their monthly checks to keep them above the poverty level. Yet, since its inception in 1935, not many changes have been made in the program to update Social Security to help meet the challenges of the 21st Century. The result is that many of our young people do not think Social Security will be

alive and well when they retire. Right now, Social Security will be solvent until 2034. After that, benefits will be cut by nearly 25 percent if nothing is done to keep the program strong. Our children and grandchildren need to be assured that they will get the benefits they deserve. They need to know that when they work hard and pay into Social

Security that it will be there as promised. We are headed into a critical election year. Yet, we haven’t heard the candidates running for office talk much at all about updating Social Security. As voters, we need to require them to take a stand and tell us what they would do if elected. If you are wondering how your favorite candidate stands on this issue, I in-

vite you to go to the 2016takeastand.org website to find out. See if you share their views and values. Let them know your thoughts. This is important to all of us. We need to do something before it is too late. Caryl Ligler Trego

Warning Warning! If you are a property owner with a wet spot on your land, do not vote for Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. As a DNR attorney, she wrote an attorney general’s opinion that the beds of all bodies of water in Wisconsin belong to the state.

What an off-the-wall opinion coming from someone who is supposed to be trained in logic. The opinion not only violates both the U.S. and state Constitutions regarding the taking of private property, it also violates a state statute concerning slander of title.

And this is the land the property owner probably has a warranty deed to and has been paying taxes on for many years. And not a single parcel claimed is recorded as to location or area in any courthouse. If she has so little regard to private rights as a DNR attorney, what other

The student addressed Sybers in an aggressive tone stating, “(Expletive) you, I’m not getting up.” The student eventually complied with Sybers’ orders and, as Sybers attempted to handcuff the youth, the student punched Sybers in the stomach. As Sybers escorted the now-handcuffed student out of the school, the student continued to try and pull away from Sybers. The student was placed in the back

of the police squad. Sybers returned to the middle school and was informed by the principal that there was a second incident requiring Sybers’ attention. After dealing with the second incident, Sybers transported the student to the sheriff’s department. Upon arrival at the sheriff’s department the student was placed with social services.

Technology to help obtain vital records To be implemented in January 2017 SHELL LAKE - Renee Bell, acting Washburn County register of deeds, announces effective Jan. 1, 2017, residents may no longer have to travel to other counties to obtain their vital records. Vital record events include: birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates. Currently, residents have to travel to the county in which the event occurred, order by mail, or order online with a credit card to receive their records. The ability to obtain these records will ultimately be easier than ever. With new technology and a statewide database, this longtime vision of the register of deeds office will become a reality. If an event occurred in the state of Wisconsin, a person may be able to walk

into any Wisconsin register of deeds office to pick up his or her vital record. At the onset in 2017, there will be limitations since not all of the records will be in the state database. Births from 1994, deaths from Sept. 1, 2013, and marriages from May 18, 2015, to present will be available statewide. Older records will become available as the state vital records office completes back scanning and indexing projects. Bell wants to emphasis that not all records will be available at the implementation of this service. It may take a few years for every vital record to be available statewide, but register of deeds is working hard toward that goal. Bell advises people to call ahead to inquire about the records available prior to coming into the office. The Washburn County register of deeds phone number is 715-468-4616. — from WCRD

n Feb. 2, people focus on whether or not the groundhog will see his shadow. They use this indicator to predict how much winter will remain before we experience spring. Some people may use the Easter Bunny to tell whether or not it is spring. Using either of these animals to predict spring may be a bit unreliable. Some people use the appearance of the robin to indicate spring. On Monday, March 7, Albert Stouffer stopped into the Register office and commented that he had seen his first robin of the season. Usually I am one of the last people to see a robin in the spring. I did better this year as I spotted eight of them on my front lawn Tuesday, March 8. That same day, Pauline Lawrence of Dewey Country called to say that she, too, had spotted a robin. This year Easter Sunday will be celebrated on March 27. This is earlier than last year’s April 5. In 2017, Easter Sunday will be April 16.

Easter and spring Beyond the office door Suzanne Johnson Each year people of the Christian faith celebrate Jesus’ birth on Dec. 25. Perhaps you have wondered why the celebration of his death and resurrection move around on the calendar. The reason Easter falls on a different date each year is because Easter is scheduled to fall on the Sunday that follows the full moon on or after March 21, also known as the spring

equinox. When our calendar states that it is spring, our weather doesn’t always feel like spring. This year, the warmer temperatures and the lack of snow have given us hope that spring arrived early. Some Easters we are able to shed our heavy outerwear and burst forth in our bright, spring clothing. We wear our open-toed shoes. Then there are those years when we need our heavy outerwear and our clunky winter boots. Easter isn’t about what to wear or what the weather will be. Easter is a time of celebration. My spirituality is based on the Christian faith. I believe in Jesus Christ’s birth, death and resurrection. The quote that I am sharing was written by author Susan Coolidge, “Earth’s saddest day and gladdest day were only three days apart.”

Gifts of flowers from Longfellow he celebrated poets of his time did not wish to “Evangeline” is a sad tale of the forced removal of T include the poetry of Mr. Longfellow as worthy the Acadians from Nova Scotia. They then became the Old wife’s of their literary world. It seems they considered his Cajuns of Louisiana. A treasured copy of the book, work just something for the children, or the lower “Evangeline,” was given to me by a friend who had tales classes. Very little of their literary poetry survives. It been a grade school teacher. She told me a boy who is the poems of the fellow they wrote off as unworthy that live on. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born Feb. 27, 1807, in Portland, Maine. He studied there and at Bowdoin, in Brunswick, Maine. He was the second of eight children. His ancestry went back to the 1600s in England. His grandfather, Peleg Wadsworth, was a general in the American Revolutionary War. His other grandfather was a jurist and his family were founders of the college. His father was a lawyer. Henry was surrounded by books, so it was natural that by the time he was 13 years old he was writing poetry and had a poem published in the Portland Gazette. He graduated fourth in his class in 1825 and gave the commencement address. Henry wanted to be a professor at Bowdoin and there was an opening for a language teacher. They told him he could be a full professor if he went to Europe to experience foreign languages among the people there. He went to Europe in 1826 to learn French, Italian and Spanish. He became a professor in Maine, but he had to go again to Europe in the study of languages for Harvard. He married his first wife, Mary, and took her with him to Europe. She was expecting a child, and she became ill and died as did the child. He was devastated. He gathered up her things and shipped them home, despairing of ever having a life partner or family. He met an attractive woman, Frances, and after courting her for seven years, they married. They had six children. He came to live in Cambridge, and he purchased the historic Craigie House, and taught at Harvard, as Smith Professor of Modern Languages. He liked nothing more than writing his poetry and enjoying his thriving family. Then, suddenly, Frances

Mary B. Olsen died as the result of a tragic accident. She had been using a candle to melt wax and the flame caught her dress on fire. She ran from the room to protect her children but it increased the flames. Henry ran to her rescue, but he was unable to put out the fire until it was too late. He suffered serious facial burns trying to save her. He wore a beard after his face healed. He walked through he rooms of his home almost insane with grief. He cried, “I was too happy.” He experienced long, sleepless nights, and forced himself to continue his work. Henry continued to write poetry. But his teaching occupied most of his time, so after 47 years of it, he retired to devote the rest of his life to writing. He had friends in the literary community, and he and Nathaniel Hawthorne were lifetime friends. He was the first to translate Dante’s “Divine Comedy” into English. Henry Longfellow wrote poems that were scooped up as soon as they saw print by his waiting public. The literary crowd reviewed his poetry and even though he was the most popular poet of his day, they criticized his work as “imitating European styles” and “writing for the masses.” His poems became American classics, like “The Village Blacksmith.” The chestnut tree he wrote the poem to protect from the saw, was sawn down and a craftsman made a table from the chestnut wood and gave it to him as a gift. Another poem, “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” was about a real tragedy. Shipwrecks were major events in New England. The poem “Christmas Bells” was the basis of the popular carol, “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.”

was a student of hers told her that he was so inspired by it that it changed his life for the better. He thanked her for having him read it in school as a child. Henry’s lyrical book, “The Song of Hiawatha,” the favorite with the public, was published in 1855. He used some of the images from ancient mythology. But for the most part he relied on the six volumes of the “Indian Tribes of the United States,” written by Henry Schoolcraft. There he found the myths and legends as well as the known history of the people. Much of this material had been collected by this geographer and student of Native cultures on his journeys traveling the rivers and land near the Great Lakes. The people he wrote about were our neighbors, the Ojibwe people, whose descendants still live here. As a child, I memorized part of the lyrical poem. It was where Hiawatha was going to build himself a canoe. He asked the tree if it would give him the bark, so his canoe would “float upon the water like a yellow water lily.” Even now, whenever I see water lilies and yellow birches, I think of that poem, and its rhythm and rhymes. Ever wonder why we see something called a rainbow in the sky? When Hiawatha asked his grandmother, Nokomis, “... and the good Nakomis answered: T’is the heaven of flowers of the forest you see there; All the wildflowers of the forest, All the lilies of the prairie, When on earth they fade and perish, Blossom in that heaven above us...” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow passed away on March 24, 1882. He left us many beautiful poems and songs.

Laker track team competes at Stout

Assistant Coach Julie Schunck | Special to the Register MENOMONIE - Shell Lake kicked off the 2016 track season at an indoor meet at UW-Stout on Saturday, March 19. This indoor meet has given the team the opportunity to have some of their first field event practices while having an intense workout on the track. The track presents athletes with some challenges as the corners are tighter than a typical track, the air is drier than meets held outside and there are a lot of people which adds to the intensity of the day. The Laker 4x200 relay team of Sydney Schunck, Amber Anderson, Lindsey Martin and Nicole Mikula, placed second with time of 1:65.2. The 4x400 relay of Anderson, Emma Thomas, Cassie Skattebo and Julia Pokorny

Martin placed fourth in the long jump with a jump of 14’7.5”. Mikula placed seventh in the long jump with a jump of 13’10.5” Another athlete scoring points for the team was Ashlea Meister who placed sixth in the 800-meter run with a personal-best time of 2:50.84. Anderson placed eighth in the 55-meter dash with a time of 7.97. The girls team placed sixth out of 23 teams competing. Linden Nelson placed sixth in the long jump with 17’00.75” and he jumped a personal best in the triple jump with 35’.11” taking seventh place. Other results were Katie Cox, 7:08.5, 1,600-meter run; Alexis DeLadi, 6 feet, pole vault; Taylor Eiche, 32.4, 200meter run; Sarah Greife, 8.97, 55-meter run and 25’06”, triple jump; Isaac Haines, 33’1.5”, shot put; Erick Haynes, 8.99, 55-meter run and 2:01.53, 4x200 relay; Alyssa Hodgett, 1:14.79, 400-meter run; Alecia Knoop, 1:26.34, 400-meter run; Madison LaFave, 26’5.75”, shot put;

Lauren Osborn ran her first 800 since suffering an injury two years ago. “As a coach I am proud of the dedication she has put in to come back. She was running in pain from an injury that may never go away and still she was able to push herself and finish,” said Katrina Granzin, head coach.

families; staff was constantly trying to highlight our program’s services as being more than just safe shelter because the name implies that’s all we do,” she said. The organization was also hearing many negative connotations survivors had with being sent to a place called “TimeOut.” “Children in shelter were asking us if they could rename their temporary home to “safe place” because they don’t want to be in a time-out,” said Bement. To most people, a time-out is a punishment for a child. The organization needed a name that helps the community understand survivors do not deserve to be sent to a time-out for a break from the violence; rather the community has the responsibility of working together to hold abusers accountable and end the violence for good. “We all agreed we needed a name that represented our mission and vision because TimeOut didn’t,” said Bement. “After we read the definition of embrace during a brainstorming session, there was no going back.” “Lo and behold, Embrace turned out to be exactly what we were looking for all along,” said Willingham. “It’s a positive word and you connect with its meaning immediately. We all felt that this word covered ex-

SHELL LAKE - TimeOut Family Abuse Shelter Inc., the tricounty domestic and sexual violence services provider and safe shelter, has changed its name to Embrace and adopted a new tag line of People. Change. Equality. The name Embrace better reflects the organization’s mission of providing unwavering support to all people affected by domestic and sexual violence and nurturing a social change in our communities that will end all forms of oppression. The updated logo for the organization will also be released in the upcoming months. “There were so many considerations that went into the decision to change the organization’s name,” said Embrace Executive Director Katie Bement. “The staff and board had been searching for some time to find a name that more fully embraces our mission, vision and values,” said Embrace board treasurer Dave Willingham. The rebrand process kicked off in May 2015 after the staff and board participated in a capacity-building process where the entire group prioritized updating the mission and vision statements, and then, finding a name to match. “We gathered community feedback as well as insight from partners at the statewide level through online surveys and simply talking with folks at fundraisers and outreach events,” said Bement. “The board and staff wanted to be extremely thoughtful in selecting a name that appeals not only to the survivors we work with but also to our community partners covering all the aspects of our advocacy work.” “We weren’t going to take the leap to make this change unless it was the right change,” said Willingham. Bement explained the more they began to bring up a possible name change to survivors and community partners, the more they began to realize how important it was to get away from the name TimeOut Family Abuse Shelter. “There was confusion about us only serving

actly what the organization does. We embrace people, and we embrace change,” said Embrace Vice President Kelly Swan. “Not only does this new name and tag line better reflect what this organization represents, but it also describes what we do as board members coming together to represent all three counties and all people, equally. The board voted unanimously for Embrace,” explained Swan. In the past two years, there has been tremendous progress made by the staff and board in stabilizing and expanding the program. “Our service numbers and collaborative partnerships have skyrocketed; our programming has doubled, and we are now going upstream prioritizing prevention efforts to end the violence for future generations,” Bement said. “The name change to Embrace is the cherry on top of all of our accomplishments in the past two years and represents the shift in the program’s philosophy.” “The staff and services are the same high-quality support as before,” Rusk County Sheriff and Embrace board member Jeff Wallace. To get the word out about the new name, Embrace has an outreach and media campaign planned where they will distribute new materials widely throughout the service area. They envision having an awareness poster behind every closed office door of local doctors, teachers and business leaders who meet with individuals confidentially. “We want every public bathroom stall in the three counties to have an informative poster and contact information for Embrace available. We will mail out new brochures to our partners, overhaul our website and ramp up our social media outreach strategies,” said Bement. “As always, we’ll stay involved with our local schools and continue to participate at community events to promote our services and the new name.” As part of the campaign, open houses will be held in the Washburn, Rusk and Price counties local offices to celebrate. The Shell Lake Outreach Office open house will be held Wednesday, May 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For more information about the new name, contact Bement at 715-532-6976. If you are a survivor looking for support, contact an advocate at Embrace by calling 800924-0556 or texting 715-532-6976. An advocate is available 24/7/365. — from Embrace

Adoptions have been going great, The cat numbers are down. Then suddenly the kennel’s full, Your smile becomes a frown. So many strays, from here and there, Where could their owners be? Such lovely cats without a home, This always puzzles me. Some of the strays are altered, Some are declawed, too. They should not be out roaming, They should be at home with you. Not all the cats we have are strays, Some had a family. But sometimes things can happen, That one simply can’t foresee. So now our kennels are quite full, You know what would be great? To find them all new loving homes, So please don’t hesitate. Cats for adoption: 2-year-old longhair dilute calico; 1-1/2-year-old neutered gray/white longhair; 1-1/2-year-old

Our fields and woodlands were snowless but this past week was damp, rainy and that turned to snow a couple of times. Sunday, the first day of spring, it was a beauty of a day and thawing temps rid us of the new snow cover once again, and Sunday night the nearly full moon was shining bright. Report is that the maple sap is running slow. Maybe with the colder nights it should once again get flowing. The temp Sunday night was 21 degrees. A new baby to report: Karl and Krista Okonek, who are stationed in Okinawa, Japan, have a new 9-pound 13-ounce baby boy, Karter William, born March 17. He joins brothers Jaydon and Ryland. Proud grandparents are Jay and Anne Okonek, Sarona, and Marlene Hansen, Rice Lake. Congratulations to all. Mary West and daughter Lynda are home from Cheyenne, Wyo., for a week. Got here on Tuesday. They are cleaning out Mary’s house as she won’t be living here any more. They visited Elfreda West on Sunday. Other visitors at Elfreda’s were her grandson and wife, Tony and Rheata Donetell and boys from Savage, Minn., and Joe and Deb Elbe, Rice Lake, who stopped and brought corned beef and cabbage. Elfreda’s girls, Janet and Ellen, have been staying with her as she hasn’t been feeling up to par. Virginia Stodola was thankful she has Lifeline. Saturday she was downstairs sitting down and got a back spasm and couldn’t get up. Neighbors Jan and Jeff John-

son came and helped her to stand up until it went away. Greg and Sue Krantz visited his mom, Mary, at Woodstone in Rice Lake, bringing her a new afghan Sue made. Greg said he finally saw a robin. Tuesday night was his last county board meeting after 14 years of them. Visitors at Anton and Gloria Frey’s were Cheri and Greg Lyga, Ethan and Julia. Jan and Jeff brought supper and visited her folks Sunday night. Gloria hasn’t been feeling so good and Jan took her to an appointment in Eau Claire on Monday. Libbie DeTrent stopped after church Sunday and visited me. She brought me the church bulletin and a palm leaf as well as a piece of Darlene Johnechek’s luscious carrot cake she made as she was the host of Sunday coffee. There is to be a Good Friday service at 11 a.m. at Sarona Methodist Church with a potluck luncheon following. Libbie DeTrent had lunch with her cousin, Penny Elliot, Rice Lake. Reports are there was a full house for Bingo and St. Patrick’s Day food Thursday night at Butternut Hills. The DeTrents had gone. Saturday, Doug and Sandi Rudolph were at Sam and Libby’s. They were teaching them the card game Hand and Foot. Butch and Evelyn Schafer visited her aunts, Lillie Miller and Dorothy Flanagan, who are both in a nursing home in Prairie Farm. They also visited Larry Fletcher

while there. Family for fish fry Saturday night at Butch and Evelyn’s were daughter Michelle and Trent and their daughter Allie home from college at St. Scholastica in Duluth, and Kyle and Amy Schafer. Saturday Janet Zimmerman went for breakfast at the Family Restaurant in Rice Lake joining 12 other Birchwood Manufacturing retirees. My grandson Duane Swanson, Menomonie, was up Friday and cut the sumac along the yard’s edge that was taking over the lawn. So nice to have that done. I was gone so I missed him but it was a nice surprise for me. I can even see my pond better. Have a good, Good Friday and a blessed Easter and a happy spring! Happy birthday to Sadie Christ, Raeleigh Ripplinger and Linda Dahle, March 24; Lauren Knutson, March 25; Sue Weathers, Allen Loew and Donna Falstad, March 26; Elaine Krugar, Rachelle Hansen, Lois Holt, Doug Millard, Hailey Bednar, Ken Reiter and Lillie Ullom, March 28; Pam Cernocky and Angelo Mancl, March 29; Carrie Olek, Jack Brown, Dorothy Foltz turns 103, Layne Myers and Kya Coulter, March 30; and Chuck Lutz, Bob Pease Jr., Diane Pierce, Mary Frey and Larry Klinger, March 31.

by Caesarean section and she was doing well. Lillian Ullom had a pleasant surprise when her daughter, Donna Ness, gave her a birthday party at Evergreen Apartments. Twins Michelle and Tonya Minot, Eau Claire, spent the weekend with parents Steve and Cheri Minot. On Friday night they went to the Erika Quam Memorial Theatre to see a play and on Saturday night they enjoyed the play “Hello Dolly” at Spooner High School. Peder Pederson and his friend, Kathy, drove to St. Paul

on Sunday to attend church at LBI. They met Linda and James King and son Zachary of Bentonville, Ark., and Curt, Martha and Daniel of Hudson for dinner. At Salem Lutheran Church on Sunday everyone was pleased to see Connie Richter back after recuperating from a stroke. Good news Connie. This is going to be a busy week leading up to Easter next Sunday. By the time you’ve figured out all the things you shouldn’t do, you’ve already done them.

Helen V. Pederson

It looks like we will have some nice sunny days here in Shell Lake. Of course, we still have snow on the ground, and it sounds like we will get more this week. On Saturday, Tim and Sue Pederson and daughter Stephanie, Cory and Colton stopped here for a short time. They were going to meet the Quam families for lunch at Lakeview to celebrate Helen’s and Warren’s birthdays. They had a good turnout, good food, and a good time. They had seen Megan in Eau Claire who had just got out of the hospital after having a daughter, Paige,

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24

o, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it; his appearance was as lightning and his clothes were as white as snow. For fear of him, the guards trembled and became as dead men. And the angel said to the women, “Be not afraid. I know that you seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. Why seek the living among the dead? Remember how he spoke to you while he was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful man and be crucified and on the third day rise again.’ Come now and see that place where he lay.” (Then they remembered his words.) “Go quickly and tell his disciples and Peter that he is risen from the dead, and lo, he goes before you into Galilee. There, you will see him as he told you.” Some went away with fear and trembling and said nothing because they were afraid. Others went away quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.

Wednesday morning, March 16, I opened my house door and found snow. My two pups had a great time time running around in the snow. The snow came overnight and covered everything in white. While my two pups played, I sat down in a chair that I have outside. Along the way I heard a robin chirping. He definitely wasn’t singing. He was chirping. And he sounded mad. Maybe he was cussing out old Ma Nature for bringing snow or maybe he just got up on the wrong side of the bed. Who knows? A very happy birthday to Jim Morgansen and to Lynette LaVeau on March 24. Have a great day. Laurel Stellrecht, a very happy birthday to you as you celebrate your special day on March 26 and when you became a grandma. Also birthday wishes go out to Kim Crosby and to Kim Hotchkiss. All enjoy your special day. Lorraine Crosby, a very happy birthday to you on March 27 as you celebrate years together with Glen. Also to your greatgranddaughter, Joyel Crosby, a happy second birthday to you on March 27. Enjoy your special day with lots more to come. A very happy birthday to Corey Hamer as he enjoys his special day March 28. March 29, a very happy birthday to Karen Vanderhoof, Lillian Strege, Cory Stone, Jessica Talbert and Jerney Meister. Enjoy your day with many more to come. Ron Spaulding, how could we forget you? Yes, it’s happy birthday to Ron on March 30. Many more to you Ron. I see Easter is Sunday, March 27. How fast time is going. It was such a nice picture in the Washburn County Register of Mr. and Mrs. Poquette.

Pauline Lawrence to Vivian Poquette on March 12. Mrs. Poquette taught all of our children at Shell Lake. Where does she get the patience? Come April 5, get out to vote. Yes, the county board for Burnett County has a number of candidates running. In Dewey we have Duane Johnson and Phil Lindeman. Get out and vote for who you think will get out and make his mark in Dewey Country. On Saturday, at 4 p.m., there was a birthday blast for my favorite sister, Marie Quam, at the Lakeview Bar and Grill. This was planned by Rick and Janie Lauterbach. Coming to enjoy the fest were Marie and Warren Quam, Mike Quam, Gene and Buddy Quam, Jim Quam, the Feeneys from Blooming Prairie, Minn., Rich, Pattie, Allysha and Richy, Tim and Sue Pederson, Cory and Stephanie and little son Colton, from Chippewa Falls, and Rick and Janie Lauterbach, Noah, Ellianna and Grace. Saturday morning Janie took daughter Ellianna to a birthday party, Rick worked, and Noah and his two sisters and mom went to Barronett for the Easter egg hunt. Later they entertained a total of 22 Quam family members, which was a great party for Marie. Tricia Feeney brought a cake and all enjoyed it. Later the Feeneys had a mini Easter egg hunt at the Lauterbach’s. They left for their home later. I really hope you had a wonderful birthday Marie. They are planning on having Warren’s birthday get-together on Thursday, March 24. Once again Janie will make a large dinner complete with birthday cake. Happy birthday Warren. Janie does so many good things for her parents and they enjoy it. Talking with Dewey Country Chairman Mark Knoop, he tells us there will

Barronett

be a meeting called implements of husbandry, where discussion will be the ag equipment on highways and road maintenance. Everyone is welcome. It’s to be held at the senior citizen building in Siren. Bryan Knoop was home last week for spring break and left Friday for his studies in Laramie, Wyo. This summer Bryan plans to work at Louie’s so he’s got it all lined up. Evelyn Melton tells us her driveway is very muddy. She called her girls and told them not to come on Sunday because of the mud. She said if they got stuck they have no one to pull them out. Church services at the Lakeview Methodist Church will be Friday at 3 p.m. Sunday the Spooner Methodist Church will have a breakfast for the two churches in Spooner. Services at Lakeview will be at 9 a.m. The breakfast is at 7 a.m. Everyone welcome. Visiting at Grandma and Great-grandma’s were Mike Murray and his son, Charles, on Saturday. They had a nice visit with Diane Hulleman and enjoyed chili along with Diane’s pie. At the Jerry and Gretchen Best home was Gretchen’s 94-year-old mom, Lillian Strege. She is staying a few days with her daughter. For Easter it will be potluck at the Lillian Strege home in Luck. Her daughter-in-law and son, Gwen and Chad Strege, will make a lot of the food. Saturday found Butch and Loretta VanSelus in Rice Lake where they took in the figure-skating show, which Butch tells us was very interesting. Butch says coming through Cumberland the gas was up to $2.04 a gallon. Butch and Loretta attended the funeral for Reuben Bush at the Church of the Nazarene in Spooner last week.

At this time, Harold Stone isn’t very good. He goes for dialysis three times a week in Rice Lake. Tyler Crosby graduated from the short course at Madison Saturday and is going back this fall for the second half. At Garry and Beth Crosby’s on Sunday were Glen and Lorraine Crosby, Don and Charlene Strabel, Scott and Cheryl Hotchkiss, Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie, Tom and Sunshine, Isaac, Josie and Alycia, and Chad, Ashley, Chase, Morgan and Joyel. They celebrated Lorraine’s 90th birthday and Joyel’s second birthday. Beth made the food, which everyone enjoyed along with Chad and Ashley’s German chocolate cake. Beth is another farmwife who just calls the people to come to enjoy the party and she makes the food, and does a great job. Richard and Karen Melton had Jeff and Sarah and their two children over for dinner and supper on Sunday along with people from their church. Get-well wishes to Adam James Meister, son of Steven and Lorraine Meister, who broke the femur of his leg while sliding. He’s had surgery. I hope it heals fast and things go OK. Saturday found Jeff and Penny Ladd, Rem, Ry and Ree in River Falls for the state qualification wrestling. Rem got a third and little Ry got a first. Reyana will now go on to state in Madison. Congratulations to Remington and Reyana. We’re very proud of you. Happy Easter to everyone. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Happy Easter! We had a busy week here in Barronett. It started out on Saturday with the kids Easter party at the Barronett Community Center. It was great. There were about 80 little ones on hand to take part in the festivities. The civic club members had filled and hidden over 1,200 eggs for the Easter egg hunt, and the weather was perfect for running around outside during the hunt. The big winners of the day were Braelynn Albrecht, who won the girls bike; Maycee Vargo, who won the girls big basket; Hunter Parker, who won the boys bike; and Reese Whitmore, who won the boy’s big basket. The civic club members extend gratitude to Spooner Bank of the West for once again donating the bikes for the party. Gratitude is also extended to everyone who donated their time and treats to make the party such a success. Kaytlynn and Kaylee Peer were our acolytes for Palm Sunday worship service. Their Sunday school teacher, Peg Thompson, had been training them on the correct way to light and put out the candles every Wednesday evening for the past three weeks. They must have been paying strict attention because they did it per-

fectly. It was so nice to see the young people acting as acolytes. Hopefully we can have that happen more often than just on special occasions. After the Palm Sunday worship service, Peg hosted a craft fair for the kids and adults. Actually, the adults looked on and drank coffee or juice and ate the delicious baked goods while the kids worked on some very creative crafts. There were six or seven tables set up, and each had a different project set up for the little ones. They made picture frames, wove colorful paper strips into a cross, glued a picture of Jesus rising from the empty tomb, and a few other things that I can’t seem to remember right now. Anyway, the kids had a super good time while parents, grandparents and friends relaxed and visited. Anitia Lehmann took her great-grandchildren, Gavin and Addy Lehmann, to breakfast with the Easter Bunny, hosted by Cumberland Gap, at the American Legion on Saturday morning. The kids had a wonderful time talking to the Easter Bunny, hunting for eggs and eating the delicious breakfast. Tinille and Miriah Lehmann were among the many alumni participating in the alumni hockey game at the CumberWASHBURN COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT land ice hockey rink on Saturday.

We had the most wonderful time. I hadn’t been there before, but it really is a great place to spend time with little ones on days that are too wet and nasty to be outside. They have slides, a bouncy house and jungle gyms for the kids to go crazy with, and very comfortable chairs for the adults to lounge in while watching them. They also have good kid food at very reasonable prices. Wasn’t the snow this week just a pain? I know it’s probably good for our little ponds and the ground, but I was really ready for it to stay gone until next November. The crocuses didn’t seem to mind. The little purple ones started blooming about a day before the snow came, and they are blooming right up through it. The daffodils are up too, but not blooming, and their leaves seem to be just fine. Hopefully everything will be blooming soon. Terry Goodrich called with another joke from his old, 1939 joke book. He said that Mae Broome requested it, so here goes. It’s number 2,313 in the book. Seems old Joshua Taylor, whose fondness for other people’s chickens had more than once brought him into the courtroom, was fined $15 by the Alabama judge for the usual offense. Joshua was startled out of his imperturbability by this unusual amount. “Your honor, your honor,” he cried, lifting his eyes as if to call heaven to witness that he was very much abused. “$15 for stealing that chicken? Why, Judge, I could have bought a better hen for 50 cents.” Well, I hope that gets a chuckle from Mae. There will be a Maundy Thursday service with Communion at Barronett Lutheran this Thursday evening at 7 p.m. Good Friday service will be at 7 p.m. on Friday evening. The women and youth of Barronett Lutheran will be hosting Easter breakfast in the church basement starting at 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning. If you don’t have a home church already, please plan to join us for breakfast and the Easter Sunday worship service afterward. We are very friendly at Barronett Lutheran and will be happy to welcome you into our church family. Worship service starts at 9 a.m. Come, join us for Easter breakfast and service and, hopefully, a lot more worship services in the year to come. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Have a happy Easter and a wonderful week. I’ll see you next time.
