Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER—The Spooner School Board appointed a new member to the board’s vacant position during a special meeting on Monday, May 2, then, at the end of the meeting, another board member announced his resignation.

Five school district residents applied for the vacant board position. Those candidates were Vicki Anderson, Erin Burch, Jim Dienstl, Chad Gibson and Tasha Hagberg. Robert Hoellen, board member, thanked those for applying and Clay Halverson, fellow board member, stated that all candidates were more than qualified.

Once nominations were opened, Karen Sorenson nominated Anderson, then Christina Martin nominated Burch. The board voted verbally for their candidate of choice on a roll-call

vote. Anderson was appointed to the vacant position, four votes to two.

The board then elected its officers. Sorenson was elected president, Hoellen was elected vice president, Martin was elected treasurer and Anderson was elected clerk. Just as Sorenson was calling for a motion to go into closed session, Halverson announced that he was resigning his position on the board effective May 3.

“Due to employment changes and personal issues that developed, I feel I can no longer give proper attention to my position on the board,” said Halverson. Several board members acknowledged Halverson’s service on the board and, with those community members attending the meeting, observed a standing ovaSee School board, Page 3

A living memorial to a friend and classmate

Spooner Mayor Gary Cuskey reads from his proclamation celebrating Friday, April 29, as Arbor Day in Spooner, to the fourth-grade students at Spooner Elementary School. Spooner is a Tree City USA. Only 3,400 cities have earned the designation of Tree City USA. Elleonna Butler, Tyler Hoover and Alyssa Bambenec pack pine trees into plastic bags that will help keep the roots moist. Every fourth-grader got a tree to take home with them at the end of the school day.

NOAA emergency radios save lives … Listen, act and live!

MADISON - Do you have an emergency weather radio? It could save your life.

Wednesday, May 4, is NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards Awareness Day. The campaign encourages Wisconsin residents to own a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio, a 24-hour source of weather forecasts, watches, warnings, and nonweather emergency information provided by the National Weather Service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“The early warning of possible danger gives you and your family time to act and stay safe.” says Brian Satula, Wisconsin

Emergency Management administrator.

Satula adds, “Listen, act and live! Listen to the weather radio warnings and take action right away. You’ll have a much better chance of surviving the disaster.”

A NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio, with an alarm and battery backup, is one of the best ways to protect your family, especially at night when the alarm feature can wake you up during severe weather and give you and your family time to seek appropriate shelter. If there is no severe weather or emergency your radio can be switched to a silent, standby mode.

Weather radios come in many sizes, with a variety of functions and costs. They

can be purchased at most electronic and home improvement stores. Most weather radio receivers are either battery-operated portables or AC-powered desktop models with battery backup. The portable weather radios are an important item to take along when you are enjoying the outdoors such as camping and boating.

Many receivers have digital technology called Specific Area Message Encoding that allows users to program their radios to alarm only for hazardous conditions that affect their county.

For additional information about weather radios including real-life stories of Wisconsin residents who survived a

tornado thanks to the early warning from a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio, go to readywisconsin.wi.gov/tornado/survivors.asp.

ReadyWisconsin is a campaign from Wisconsin Emergency Management with a mission to prepare individuals, families and businesses for emergencies and disasters.

Reconnect at Prairie Fling SARONA - Celebrate spring at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona during the fifth-annual Prairie Fling Festival planned for Saturday, May 14. Reconnect with people, community and nature in this one-day family-friendly festival. The festival features hayrides, petting zoo, live eagle program, artists, community groups, kids activities and more. Cost is just $5/person and Hunt Hill members get in for free. All activities, entertainment and educational programming are free and the only additional expenses are for meals and optional purchases from the talented artists.

This week’s Prairie Fling highlight focuses on the music of the festival.

The Little Ripley Band consists of Jane O’Brien and Norma Peterson. These talented ladies play everything from folk to rock, western to Irish and throw in a bit of reggae and old-time dance for good measure. O’Brien plays accordion, Peterson plays the keyboard, and they both play percussion with their feet. The band admits their music style is hard to describe, but everyone agrees the sound is catchy and a lot of fun! Little Ripley Band will be playing from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. by the library.

The Second Wind String Band is an oldtime fiddle dance band comprised of a 12-string guitar, banjo, bass and fiddler.

Their repertoire ranges from old-time fiddle music to folk tunes. Participants

Correction In our front page story last week concerning the dismissal by the Shell Lake School District of cheerleading coach Alana Harrington, there was erroneous information published, as presented at the school board meeting and/or by district officials, that requires correction.

One of the two students appearing before the school board in praise of Harrington was not related to the Harrington family, according to Harrington. Harrington also noted that the cheerleading squad was discontinued three years ago and brought back a year and a half ago, and that the cheerleading squad was used for football, basketball, volleyball and wrestling events. She also said the headline, Details quiet on Shell Lake cheerleading coach’s dismissal, new volunteer coaches sought, was sensational in nature. The Register did attempt to contact Mrs. Harrington for comment but the messages left were not received, according to Mrs. Harrington. And while the headline was factually accurate, we apologize to the Harrington family if it misled readers an any way. - Editor

Wrong name In the April 27 edition of the Register, the judge of record was incorrectly reported in the article, Spooner School District and former teachers contend contract damages in Washburn County Court. John Yackel, Sawyer County Circuit Court judge, was assigned the case and is to be attributed for the ruling and comments made in the article. The Register apologizes to Andrew Lawton and Judge Yackel and others who may have been affected by this error.

Sons of the Voyageur will entertain attendees at the Prairie Fling to be held Saturday, May 14. Musical entertainment will also be provided by the Little Ripley Band and the Second Wind String Band. — Photo submitted will enjoy their music as they visit artist vendors by the library from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.

The Sons of the Voyageur (Les Fils du Voyageur) will be entertaining fling-goers as they travel throughout the camp between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. In their performances you will hear authen-

tic fur-trade-era songs sung a capella in three- and four-part harmony, and be led from Montreal to Grand Portage as the lifestyle of the voyageur is portrayed in authentic period costume.

You won’t want to miss this year’s Prairie Fling. Stay tuned for upcoming features on Prairie Fling’s programs, kids

activities and more. For more information, call Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary at 715-635-6543, email info@hunthill.org, or visit the website hunthill.org. — from Hunt Hill

Sometimes the dress is funny with perhaps a On Sunday, May 8, we will celebrate Mother’s Day, garden theme. Other times the event requires a special

bonnet or decorated hat. Not every guest drinks tea. I would be among the guests that would say, “No thank you,” when offered tea.

It took me until I was 50 to drink “candied” coffee, therefore I don’t hold out too much hope for me becoming a tea drinker. Candied coffee means the beverage is full of sugar and other not-good-for-you stuff.

Several years ago, after attending a tea party where one could try several loose-leaf teas and view a large display of teapots and all the accessories associated with a real tea drinker, I got caught up in the enthusiasm of tea drinking. I purchased a teapot and a small container of loose-leaf rose hip tea. I was told this would be a nice light flavor for an inexperienced tea drinker. It was supposed to be soothing as well. After making a pot of tea each morning for about a month and only drinking a few sips, I got rid of the tea and the teapot. I hadn’t thought of it before, but do you think that the person that first made the comment, “a spot of tea,” may have not liked tea either? Then again, I’m thinking a “spot of tea” probably means an entire cup of tea instead of just a few sips.

Once in a while, women like to gather for special celebrations that require dressing up a bit. There was a time when my friend Janet’s dog had puppies. Some of us lady friends decided to throw a puppy shower for Janet and her dog, Miss McGillicutty. Each of the

Our family There is one thing all mothers have in common and had handmade clothes, not unlike the most expensive tales that is their love for their children. clothes available now. Us girls had velvet dresses, and

A mother’s love is unselfish, and understanding, and kind. Her love is one of the best things in life that are free. You may choose a card or gift, and spend time with her, and she will appreciate your effort. If you forget she will forgive you.

The memory of my mother is with me almost all the time. My mother had a way with little children that made things fun. She enjoyed doing things with us. Maybe some mothers hated the school vacation in summer. My mother welcomed the time with us. She helped us with our Kool-Aid stand, and let us keep the few pennies we earned. She showed us how we could make little dollhouse rooms and decorate them with pages clipped from an old wallpaper sales book.

We made little furniture from old magazine pictures.

And cut a chain of paper dolls. Or made catalog paper dolls and fit cutout clothes from them. We had lots of kids books. She often read to us evenings. One time she set us up to be a lending library for the neighborhood kids, with cards for each child. It only lasted a couple of weeks but it was a nice project. She took us for walks in the woods and told us the names of the wildflowers. I think those precious times spent with your mother are the best times of your life.

There were hard times when I was growing up.

We had no money for frills. Our house was on a busy road. One summer we had a root beer stand. My dad made a building from a chicken house and painted it

Mary B. Olsen white and made a counter across the front of it. We were supplied with a barrel of root beer, and the glasses came with it, and we had ice cream and the cooler came with that. We sold root beer floats, things like candy bars, and ice-cream cones. My dad had lights strung across the top of the building so we were open after the stores were closed. My mother was there all the time, making change, and my dad, too, when he was off work. I helped a little by wiping off the counter and washing glasses. My brothers and sister helped, too. We had customers we greeted politely.

I don’t know if we made much money, but that summer, although it was hot weather, it was cool pouring root beer and scooping up ice cream. I also chased the flies away and swatted mosquitoes. It is one of my favorite memories.

My mother taught me how to do things. She had a knack for all handcrafts. She could type and do shorthand, and she could draw as well as an artist. She could sew. If she saw a dress she liked on a manikin in a store window she might find an envelop in her purse and a pencil and sketch it and make her own pattern

our brothers had shirts and jackets she made. Our homes were decorated with her creations. My mother taught me to sew, knit, tat, crochet and embroider.

She encouraged me and us kids to get involved in things. One time, when I was a freshman in high school, they were having a dance at school one evening. My two best friends were not going. I was shy in those days. I was determined not to go. My mother said to me, “Get ready. You are going. The girl in the next block is in your class. Go to her house, knock on the door, and tell her you are going to the dance and you would like her to go with you.” I did as she said, and we had a wonderful time. I cherish these kinds of happy memories.

I was fortunate to have my mother with me when I was having children of my own. Mothers are good tried-and-true baby sitters. They can give advice and they can understand because they have been through the joys as well as the sadness of motherhood. They give you so much and then they give you more, these amazing women who love and care for us. They gave us life and love and touched our hearts.

Let us be thankful for the loving care our mothers have given us on Mother’s Day.

State Patrol: Law of the Month Wisconsin’s Absolute Sobriety Law means not a drop of alcohol for drivers under age 21

SPOONER - Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in Wisconsin.

To prevent needless deaths and injuries

during the start of the graduation season and other springtime celebrations, law enforcement agencies are reminding young motorists and their parents about Wisconsin’s Absolute Sobriety Law for drivers under age 21.

The law is quite simple. Absolute sobriety for drivers under age 21 means they may not consume any amount of alcohol, not even a drop, and legally operate a motor vehicle.

Young drivers convicted of violating

Wisconsin’s Absolute Sobriety Law will have their driver license suspended for three months. They also will have to pay a $389.50 citation and will have four demerit points assessed on their driver license.

“At any age, alcohol even in small amounts may impair the mental and physical skills needed to drive safely, such as decision making, concentration, coordination and reaction time. However, teens and young people, who often are

inexperienced drivers, are especially susceptible to the adverse effects of alcohol on their driving ability,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Lt. Dori Petznick, Northwest Region-Spooner Post. “We don’t want young drivers or their passengers to suffer serious injuries or tragic deaths because of a disastrous decision, such as getting behind the wheel after drinking.”

“Ordinary Grace” by William Kent Krueger Review by Amy Johnson, Minneapolis, Minn.

W

illiam Kent Krueger is best known for his Cork O’Connor mysteries set largely in Minnesota. In this stand-alone novel, 13-year-old Frank Drum observes the effect of death and betrayal on his family and on those who share the small Minnesota town of New Brennen in July 1961. Through Frank’s observations, it is apparent that when life goes into a tailspin, both centripetal and centrifugal forces are at work. While much is lost – torn apart and flung clear

of the disaster – the things at the center, stripped bare and held up for inspection, remain.

About the author Raised in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, William Kent Krueger briefly attended Stanford University – before being kicked out for radical activities.

After that, he logged timber, worked construction, tried his hand at freelance journalism, and eventually ended up researching child development at the University of Minnesota. He currently makes his living as a full-time author. He’s been married for over 40 years to a marvelous woman who is an attorney. He makes his home in St. Paul, a city he dearly loves.

Krueger writes a mystery series set

in the North Woods of Minnesota. His protagonist is Cork O’Connor, the former sheriff of Tamarack County and a man of mixed heritage – part Irish and part Ojibwe. His work has received a number of awards, including the Minnesota Book Award, the Loft-McKnight Fiction Award, the Anthony Award, the Barry Award, the Dilys Award, and the Friends of American Writers Prize. His last five novels were all New York Times best-sellers. “Ordinary Grace,” his standalone novel published in 2013, received the Edgar Award, given by the Mystery Writers of America in recognition for the best novel published in that year.

You learn something new every day…

How often does the Shell Lake Public Library acquire new books?

All the time! On average they add 40 new books to their collection every month. They include items from all genres and age levels each time an order is placed.

Plus, newly released fiction for adults is delivered automatically, varying from month to month. And don’t forget about audiobooks. About 10-15 new audiobooks on CD are ordered each month from new fiction to autobiographies.

Since they keep adding new books each month, they also need to get rid of some. If a fictional book or audio book in the library is not checked out for two or more

Shell Lake Public Library www.shelllakelibrary.org 715-468-2074

years, it is deleted from the collection and sold in the lobby, at a deep discount. Which makes more room for brand-new items. However, classic literature and nonfiction items are not weeded out. Currently, the Shell Lake Public Library has 13,417 books and 1,043 audiobooks on CD, but not a lot of space. So, it’s out with the old, in with the new. You can find a list of their new books at shelllakelibrary.org. All books and audiobooks may be checked out for four weeks.

If by chance the Shell Lake Public Library doesn’t have a specific book you are looking for, you can request

it from other libraries through an interlibrary loan. It is easy to request items online through the library’s website. Or you can call or go to the library and tell them what you are looking for. They are more than happy to help, and it is free. The Shell Lake Public Library itself just requested books from other libraries for the May book display on gardening in order to show patrons something new.

So, if you think you’ve seen everything at the library, think again. It’s not just the same old books.

Earth Notes

H

ow was your Earth Day? I hope you did something out of the ordinary, something you can be proud of. Let’s keep Earth Day rolling and adopt a few new habits that are easier on the Earth. A healthy planet takes work. It takes time and effort and attention, not just on the one day designated for displaying it, but the other 364 too. Here’s a quick list of ways to ensure that this year, Earth Day doesn’t become a one-off.

Make it a beginning, instead of a celebration Calling something a celebration often indicates a sense of success and achievement – we’ve done it! Mission accomplished. But anyone familiar with environmental issues knows that we are far, far from reaching the point where we can declare climate change solved or pollution stopped. Instead, environmentalism needs to be an ever-evolving process, and what better time to begin? This year, create a beginning. Whether it’s in your home or in your office, set a meeting, brainstorm initiatives, preach to everyone you meet about an issue important to you, influence some kids, and create positive environmental change that will last all year-round.

Team up Creating change can be tough at the best of times and near-impossible if you live or work with others who

Jen Barton aren’t on the same page as you are. Earth Day is the perfect time to capitalize on good intentions and rally the troops to commit to the cause. Pledge to create change together, ask for support on environmental initiatives and ask for their input and ideas as well.

Make resolutions I have said it before, but treat Earth Day as though it was Jan 1, and make some Earth Day resolutions. Instead of pledging to lose 10 pounds, pledge to reduce your garbage by 25 percent; instead of vowing to quit smoking, promise to stop buying single-serve food items – you get the idea. Set simple, concise, measurable goals and then get to work making them a reality.

Take action Sometimes you need a good shake-up. Sometimes

The last ballgame

I

t was June 20, 1980, a hot Friday night in Chicago.

The Detroit Tigers were in town, and so was I. I was bringing back some left-behind belongings to my new home in Superior and decided to call my pal, Joe, and let him know that I was in town for a few days.

He’s not always easy to reach so I was somewhat dubious as to whether or not I would catch him as he stays busy. This particular day was to be a “nonbusy” day, I was to find out later. Joe answered the phone and said, “Yeah, I’m home and I’ve got box seat tickets to the Sox game and you’re invited.” Didn’t have to twist my arm.

Joe had just moved to Peotone, Ill., which is about 35 terrifying freeway miles from Old Comiskey Park.

Joe, being a new resident, automatically qualified to be a new neighbor and the only way you can measure a good new neighbor is by finding another new neighbor who is hopefully also good. The only way your new new neighbor can be a bad new neighbor is if he gives you a bad new-neighbor rating. Joe decides to make him a good new neighbor by getting him drunk.

The game starts at 7:30 p.m. and it’s already 6 p.m. when I get to Joe’s house. We have a beverage or two and we’re off to Comiskey. Don’t forget that I’m getting a late start as I showed up sober and the rest of the gang were “in progress.” Our wheels consisted of a van, one driver, one passenger and a guy in a lawn chair — that was me. Ever sit in a chair that did the cha cha and the shimmy all at once? Think of a marble in a shoe box. All this coupled with the antics of a frustrated race car driver, makes a guy want to switch buses, which at one point looked pretty promising as we were about to become an integral part of a Greyhound.

Miraculously, when I unburied my face, we were actually easing into a parking place. A normal place for normal people in normal vehicles. I wanted to kiss the ground. This was simply a prelude, a warm-up, if you will. But at this point we were alive, and I was still looking forward to the game.

Bud Hoekstra We had really great seats, almost right behind the White Sox dugout. Envision a crowd of 45,000 or so avid baseball watchers and dyed-in-the-wool White Sox fans. These guys are mostly blue-collar workers who didn’t go home after work but stopped off at the local watering hole and went to the game from there. It’s Friday and a beautiful one. Now try to envision 45,000 inebriates in one place. The psychology of the crowd is easily measured by the number of guys who are standing in front of you when you have to eliminate some of that beverage.

Our little group was lucky as we had a really industrious beverage vendor in our area. It was like having a human conveyer belt. We were his first stop. Joe still gets a Christmas card from him.

Not only was there a game to watch, but side shows were also provided, like when good neighbor Tom went to the washroom and never came back. A vanishing act for sure. It took three innings for him to reappear and while Joe was trying to find him, he happened to stumble upon some guys from work. I mean if you see the same guys day in and day out at work, it’s a natural that you’re going to at least spend the seventh-inning stretch with them. Sort of like a coffee break away from home.

you need to donate or go cold turkey; sometimes you need to replace all of the lightbulbs in your house in one sweep, sometimes you need to actually recycle all of the electronics sitting in your garage waiting to be recycled. In short, this Earth Day, we need action. Change your life, change the way you live. Write to your local politician and make your voice heard. Put your money where your mouth is and make Earth Day count. You can recycle both electronics and fluorescent bulbs at a number of sites around Burnett and Washburn counties so please contact Jen for locations and prices at jbarton@ nwrpc.com, or 715-635-2197.

Keep it going Each day, wake up with the same Earth-saving, climate-protecting, carbon-reducing goals in mind, and find a way to do better, do more and do different. Earth Day can’t be just one day. It’s not just that it’s not enough – which it isn’t – it’s that marking this solitary day allows us to become complacent and self-congratulatory.

It allows us to check off the box marked “care about the earth” and move on to the next item on the list, feeling proud of ourselves. Anyone else see a problem here?

Contact Jen with questions about recycling, hazardous waste management or anything else environmentally related. We will get it figured out together.

ment that was made was immediately filed under “malcontent” for future reference.

I was still trying to figure out the score when Al Cowens, of the Tiger, hits a routine ground ball to the shortstop who threw the ball routinely to the first baseman. What wasn’t routine was that Cowens ran to the pitcher’s mound. My initial thought was, is that fair? I was getting ready to pour my beverage out when Cowens then punches Ed Farmer, the pitcher, who was turned around watching the play. The place went crazy! Both benches emptied immediately and, of course, the fans had to get in on the fun. Try to imagine 45,000 frenzied piranhas. Joe was eating a hot dog at the time and was trying to get at this guy on my left with one hand on the divider rail and the other on the hot dog. All this and stepping on me at the same time was pretty impressive for a guy who wasn’t sure if he was at Comiskey Park or at a seminar on nuclear fission. I figured if I shoved the hot dog in Joe’s face, the other guy wouldn’t have to eat it and that would save on court costs, etc. The plan worked as I remembered the following day. I couldn’t find any bruises or abrasions. I was in one piece which was cause for a celebration in itself.

I have never been to a sports meltdown before and was wondering how my insurance agent would react when I called him and asked about future events.

The smoke finally cleared and the game resumed, nobody watching it, but after they carted away most of the fight crowd, there were a few concerned game watchers left. We were still there but I wouldn’t say we were concerned.

In conclusion, we were all trying to piece together the why and wherefore of Cowen’s actions, nobody having the foggiest answer until the paper came out the following day with the explanation. Farmer had beaned Cowens a few years back and must have done something to get his goat as Cowens had faced Farmer previously without incident.

Once again, after being lost and miraculously discovering a bar that catered to aliens, the old van sort of wobbled into its berth.

That was my last game at Old Comiskey. Was it one to remember or one to forget? Detroit won.

WCAHS to sponsor trail ride SPOONER - The Happy Trails for Happy Tails trail ride fundraiser for the Washburn County Area Humane Society Animal Shelter will be held on Saturday, May 21, starting at 10 a.m. The trail will start at the south Dugan Run Horse Trails, located 11 miles east of Spooner and two miles south on Harmon Lake Road.

A donation per rider will be $25 minimum. This donation will include a good day of horseback riding, a nice donation to the animal shelter and a cookout-style lunch served from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the trailhead. To be sure there will be plenty of food, riders are asked to RSVP by calling or texting Kate at 715-419-2797 or Shawn at 715-931-8984.

The location is a great venue for riders as most of the loops available are around five miles, with shorter routes available, and this is not a group ride so everyone may ride at their leisure and have a relaxing day. Riders are encouraged to wear orange.

Because this is a fundraiser for the Washburn County Area Humane Society, it would be nice if Happy Trails for Happy Tails riders would get involved in

a donation competition. A very nice prize will be awarded to the person raising the most money. There will also be a variety of other prizes to be won that day just for the fun of it.

Riders must sign a waiver form. Riders under 18 must have a parent present to sign their waiver form. Also, a copy of a Coggins test is required for each horse.

Amenities at the trailhead area include parking, bathroom, well, fire rings, grills, and 12 campsites with electrical hookup.

Trail maps will be available on the day of the ride or online at washburncounty.org/ what-to-do/horseback-riding.

WCAHS is happy to add this event to the 2016 fundraising calendar and hope to make this an annual trail ride for those who enjoy horseback riding and enjoy supporting this local animal shelter, which is located at the south end of Spooner by the Washburn County Fairgrounds.

Check out the WCAHS Shelter’s Facebook page and website: wcahs.com, or stop in. The public is always welcome.

Tomatoes, peppers and perennials highlight annual plant sale SPOONER - Think summer, think vegetable gardening, and what almost invariably comes to mind is tomatoes.

Sun-ripened, fresh-from-the-vine tomatoes so full of flavor they almost make a person swoon.

That is what the UW-Extension North County Master Gardener Volunteers Association plans to put into the hands of gardeners on Saturday, May 21, at its 15th-annual plant sale. Specially chosen heirloom tomatoes and a variety of peppers will be featured at the sale. Miscellaneous perennial flowers and grasses will also be offered.

Heirloom tomatoes were the cornerstone of the group’s very first plant sale.

Since then, NCMGVA has increased the number of heirloom choices and added a few of their favorite hybrid varieties.

The tomato and pepper plants are started from seed and grown by volunteers specifically for the sale.

Though hundreds of the plants will be at the sale, they tend to sell out quickly, and gardeners are advised to go early for the best selection. The sale begins at 8

a.m. at the Spooner Ag Research Station and runs until the plants are sold out.

The proceeds go toward supporting the teaching and display garden that is open to the public on Orchard Lane, just east of the ag research station; for gardenrelated grants; for promoting horticulture outreach and education in Sawyer, Washburn and Burnett counties; and other horticultural projects.

According to Kevin Schoessow, area UW-Extension agriculture development educator and adviser to NCMGVA, “Master Gardener volunteers come together from many backgrounds. They find common ground in their appreciation for growing plants, whether edible or ornamental. They are trained volunteers who assist the University of Wisconsin-Extension staff by helping people in the community better understand horticulture and the environment, and they donate thousands of hours’ worth of their time each year toward that end.”

Further information about the sale can be found at northcountrymgv.org/. — NCMGVA

Spooner choir performs for clinician

The moment of truth comes when Michelle Pare addresses the choir. In critiquing their performance, she will use both praise for what she liked and constructive criticism for what she didn’t. In some cases, she will be reinforcing what music director Eric Connor has told them already but it doesn’t hurt to hear it again.

Michelle Pare and director Eric Connors direct the Spooner Select Choir as Tamara Smith accompanies on the piano. Pare is working with the choir on selected parts of the song to help make them better singers.

Michelle Pare is a clinician and former choir teacher working with them to help them take their music to a new level. Pare was a 1971 camper at what was then called the Indianhead Arts Center in Shell Lake. She talks fondly of her experience there. Many music teachers in the state are former campers at the Shell Lake Arts Center.

Sports around the area Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The weather has still been a factor as area teams try to play their games under the cold, wet spring.

verything we do in life is the result of a choice or decision we make. Every choice has its consequence or outcome. There are times when we make a choice and we are pleased with the outcome or result.

Other times we make decisions that hurt or haunt us, bringing results that embarrass us or bring our lives or our goals to a grinding halt. Sometimes the results of the choices we make force us to look carefully at what we have done with our lives. Every choice, however, contributes to the legacy that we will leave behind us.

David made some very important decisions that caused him pain and suffering, grief and fear. He knew that he was disobedient to the promises he made to God and also knew that he had to face the consequences of his choices. With deep humility he recognized the poor decisions he made and said, “I am under vows to you, O God!” Making a commitment or decision to honor and serve God is serious and it is not to be made without considering the implications it will have on our lives and the lives of others. A vow to God is the beginning of a chapter of righteous living.

We all know of the tragedies in David’s life because he consciously broke his vows to God: He, with careful planning and deliberate choices, committed crimes against both God and man. He knew what he deserved but went to God asking for and receiving forgiveness. The result? “You have delivered me from death ... that I may walk before you in the light of life.”

Helen V. Pederson

Greetings from Shell Lake. On Monday morning we were having sunny skies. Dandelions are abundant and bright yellow. We had rain last week so the grass is getting greener. Some of our men made birdhouses last week, and they are scattered around in our trees. I hope the wrens know what they are for.

Talking to Arlys, she is waiting for her brother, Alvin, to come and visit so she was spiffing up the garage and yard.

Peder Pederson went to potluck at church.

Cheri Minot spent Saturday in the Twin Cities where a group of women had gathered to demonstrate what they were doing in the workplace. Cheri spends her days cleaning homes in the Twin Cities and wherever she can, so she told them what products she uses. She said it was very interesting. She also said her twins, Tonya and Michelle, who work at the hospitals in Eau Claire, are planning their vacation in Washington, D.C. Have fun girls.

Sunday afternoon, Lillian Ullom and her daughter, Donna Ness, went to the birthday party for Jerry and Shirley Ullom at the Bashaw Town Hall.

Sue and Larry were in Eau Claire for the baptism of Dillon Chester, son of Greta and Logan Zinsli. Gina White Palsley and Christopher Bachinski were the sponsors.

They enjoyed lunch together after the service. Tim and Sue Pederson of Amherst, Nicole Pederson and Tim’s girls all attended. I think I’m too old to go to everything.

So they say.

We’re happy the Brewers beat the Marlins on Sunday 14-7. Keep it up!

When I was young there was no respect for the young, and now that I’m old there is no respect for the old. I missed out coming and going.

Regina Ann Brockman, 91, Rice Lake, died Tuesday, April 19, 2016, at Brentwood Memory Care.

She was born Sept. 2, 1924, in Rice Lake, to Joseph and Mary (Lastufka) Dostal. She graduated from Rice Lake High School in 1942 and became a registered nurse in 1947 at St. Anthony Hospital in Rockford, Ill. She was married at Holy Trinity Catholic Church on Oct. 8, 1947, to Joseph Brockman. They raised their five children in Loves Park, Ill., where she was an active member of St. Bridget Catholic Church.

She returned to nursing in 1967 and worked until her retirement to the Sarona area in 1985. Her husband passed away in 1989 and she spent many years doing the things she enjoyed - being with family, gardening, sewing and participating in many activities at St. Catherine’s in Sarona.

She is survived by her son, Charles Brockman, Coos Bay, Ore., and daughters, Mary (Alan) Bitz, Rice Lake, Barbara (Rod) Gladfelder, Durand, Ill., and Colette Brockman, Rockford, Ill.; nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; two sisters, Frances Willger, Rice Lake, and Leona (Jim) Didier, Spooner; many nieces, nephews and other relatives.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph; daughter, Margaret Kuelling; brothers, Norbert, Charles and Joseph Dostal; sisters, Marie Moravec, Veronica Michalski and Rita Dostal.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held April 25 at St. Joseph Church in Rice Lake with Father Ed Anderson and Father Gerard Willger officiating. Burial was at the Sarona Cemetery. Pallbearers were Matthew Bitz, Andrew Bitz, Joe Gladfelder, Andrew Kuelling, Kasey Lemery and Tanner Luellen.

Skinner Funeral Home of Rice Lake served the family.

Our weekend weather was nice, kind of cool with such beautiful sunsets. The recent rains in our area boosted the lawns, so many mowers got their first workout this week. Lots of dandelions showed up and small leaves on the trees, including the rapidly budding lilac bushes.

There were tiny flowers on the wild plums.

The woodland floors greened up fast with violets, hepaticas and marsh marigolds blooming just in time for May Day on Sunday.

It’s time to get the hummer and oriole feeders out. I got mine out on Monday. They could be here anytime.

Grandson Duane Swanson said there were baby goslings in Menomonie. He saw them while out fishing Saturday.

So we should be seeing the little fuzz balls soon, too.

Corn planters will be rolling. They are ready to go at the farm and folks are planning their gardens and flowers.

Local school proms are over so now it’s year-end tests and graduation planning. How time marches on.

Vicki Lombard had carpal tunnel surgery on her left hand recently. Bonnie Helmer had hernia surgery at Sacred Heart in Eau Claire on Wednesday and came home Thursday. My daughter, Mary Marschall, spent a couple of days in the Shell Lake hospital with a kidney infection.

A speedy recovery is wished for these gals.

Dick and Charlotte Shover came over and visited me one day, bringing some luscious beef barley soup and banana bread. Charlotte also brought some to Elfreda West.

So nice of her and we say, “Thanks.”

I got an update on Gene Anderson from Barb. He had

at Appleyard’s Funeral Home in Rice Lake on Friday evening.

Saturday noon, girls coming for my early birthday gettogether were Joyce Wade, Jan Rath, Mavis Schlapper, Elfreda West and her daughter, Janet Donetell, and my next-door neighbor Jolene Loew. Jan, Joyce and Mavis brought food, Mavis making a luscious cake. It was so nice. We had a great meal and a great visit. Thanks to them.

I went to Rice Lake Sunday afternoon and visited my dear friend, Mary Krantz, at Livingston Assisted Living and found her doing well.

Birthday wishes to Kathy Brown and Mark Crosby, May 5; Reed Lechnir, Brandon Hubin, Bridgett Hanson, Sam Elliott and Ashley Pfluger, May 6; Virginia Sandridge and Alicia Miller, May 7; Marilyn Zimmerman, Glen Albee, Amy Ripley, Vivian Bergman and Hokey West, May 8; John L., Lynn Richter and Jennie Kunselman, May 9; Rylee Mahoney, May 10; Kathy Johnson, Kristi Smith and Chelsie Dennies, May 11. Have a great one.

A happy anniversary to these couples: Craig and Jolene Scribner, Ron and Jan Fitzpatrick and Jerry and Betty Ness, May 6; Rick and Jody Roeser, May 7; Willie and Vicki Lombard, Jim and Amanda Gagner and Amy and Charlie Farrington, May 10; Steve and Sue VanMeter, Pete and Betty Hubin and Jim and Pat Hubin, May 11.

Fishing opener is coming up on Saturday, May 7.

Have a Happy Mother’s Day on May 8.

I keep looking for bear when we’re out and about, but haven’t seen one yet. If you’ve seen a bear, give me a call so I can let everyone know that they’re awake again. We usually see one just past Kitty McClintock’s place on the way to Hilltop. I love to watch them when we’re in the car, but wouldn’t want to run into one when we’re out picking blackberries.

Shirley and Merl Overvig were up visiting with Ruth and Dick Grover for a couple of days this past week. Dick and Merl had to make a day trip to Minnesota, so Geri Pittman and I went over to visit with Shirley and Ruth.

It was great catching up on the things Shirley had been doing in River Falls. And, Ruth served a delicious chocolate cake that Dick had baked the day before. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Lynn Thon had the family to her home in Barronett for supper on Sunday. We roasted hot dogs over the fire, had hamburgers from the grill and ate lots of other stuff.

It was so nice to be able to sit outside and have a picnic type meal. And one of the best things about the outside right now — it was a little too cold for mosquitoes.

The women of Barronett Lutheran will be meeting on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. to discuss whether or not to publish a cookbook. If we do decide to publish one, I bet there will be lots of people out there just waiting to get their hands on it to learn our secret recipes. I may have mentioned a time or two that the women of our church are the best cooks and bakers in a four county area. So anyway, ladies of Barronett Lutheran, please attend this meeting to help us decide this issue.

Elmer Anderson told a joke I just have to pass on.

Seems there was an older man who took his tomcat to the vet because he couldn’t wake it up. The vet examined the cat and told the man that his cat was dead. The man told him that that just couldn’t be. His cat had been alive and healthy just the day before. The vet assured him that

the cat was indeed dead, but the man still didn’t believe him. The vet then said that he had a tomcat in the back, and he would bring him out to see if the cat would respond to him. The man said that was a good idea because his cat hated other toms. Well, the tom came out, hissed and growled, but the man’s cat didn’t move a muscle.

The old guy still couldn’t believe it, so the vet, in desperation, said, “I have a black Lab in the back, we’ll see if he responds to a dog.” He brought the black Lab out, the Lab barked, growled, nosed the cat, and still the cat didn’t do a thing. Finally, the old man believed the vet and knew his poor cat was dead. The vet then handed him a bill for $400. The man was in shock. “What did you do that I should pay you $400?” he asked. “Well,” the vet said, “You didn’t believe me when I told you the cat was dead so I ran a cat scan and a lab test.”

The regular monthly meeting of the Town of Lakeland will be held next Tuesday, May 10, at 7 p.m.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Have a wonderful week and I’ll see you next time.

Happy Mother’s Day! If you usually get a plant for your mom, I have some great news for you. The Wiesner Community Chapel annual plant, bake and craft sale will be held this Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. In case you don’t know, the chapel is located on 16th Street, between Hwy. 48 and CTH B. The members of Wiesner Community Chapel get together up at Shirley Albee’s house to pot the plants for the sale, and, let me tell you, they have a lot of everything. And, everything is priced ridiculously low. If you have landscaping to do, this would be the place to buy lots of plants. And, of course, they will be having a quilt raffle and crafts and baked goods for sale. If you want to sit around and chat for a while, coffee and goodies are also served inside the chapel. Stop on by to say hello and check out the great bargains.

And, more good news. Peg Thompson’s greenhouse is open for the season, too. The greenhouse is located just south of Barronett on 28th Avenue across from Peg and Bob’s farm. Peg always has beautiful hanging baskets, both for inside and outside. And, of course, lots of other types of plants and things you will need for your garden.

Stop by and check out all the beautiful things Peg has there.

Peg and the Sunday school kids got together last Wednesday to pot flowers, which will be given to moms this Sunday at Barronett Lutheran. That is such a treat.

We moms appreciate the gift from Peg and the kids.

Guess what I saw last Friday? A baby goose. First one I’ve seen this year. There was a mom, dad, and this little ball of yellow and brown fluff standing in the ditch by that little pond just south of the rest area on Hwy. 63 between Barronett and Shell Lake. I only saw the one gosling, but maybe there were a few more hidden in the tall weeds. Those parents better keep that little guy off the road.

Pauline Lawrence Diane Hulleman’s recipe to make bread so it should be very good.

Duane Johnson was a very busy man Saturday. He planted corn. I see he has an eight-row planter now. It certainly didn’t take him long, which really helped.

Diane Hulleman has been busy working in her flower gardens, cleaning them out. On Tuesday she worked at the Shell Lake Schools and in the evening she volunteered at the free clinic in Rice Lake. This week Diane’s daughters, Nancy Murray and Ginny Schnell, took their mom to see the movie “Mother’s Day” and later they enjoyed supper together in Rice Lake. The parish nurses will have a meeting and supper on Thursday.

I certainly got a good laugh at my cat, Razz. Yes, I was in my living room the other day and not paying any attention to what was going on around me. All of a sudden, I turned around and Razz jumped about 6 feet in the air. What was she after? Well she was after a small fly and she got it. Well, I decided I have a new fly swatter in my house, Razz. She’s deadly!

Last Saturday, Beth and Mark Hansen were at the home farm of Betty and Carl Meister. They enjoyed dinner and a good visit.

Jerry and Gretchen Best attended a wedding shower for niece Tara Johnson in Circle Pines, Minn. The bride will be getting married in June.

Talking with Dirk Benzer, he tells us their daughter, Kelly, and Brandon Dahlstrom moved into their new home last fall. They put up a modular home, which is very nice. It certainly didn’t take very long and it was put together and up.

Butch and Loretta Vanselus went to Rochester, Minn., to see John Powell who was a patient there. John had surgery three weeks ago and was discharged on Friday.

Paula and John flew home to Montana. John seems to get around quite well according to Butch.

Talking with David Craft, he tells me they didn’t have any news this week. He did plant 50 raspberry plants.

Next year he wants to plant blackberries. A busy guy.

Evelyn Melton tell us she had a family get-together with a lot of her

Once again we turn the calendar over to a new month.

Yes, May is here. The end of the month we find Memorial Day. And then it’s June Dairy Month, a time to honor hardworking dairy farmers.

A very happy anniversary to John and Jonelle Bennin as they celebrate nine years together on May 5. Have a great day.

Happy birthday wishes go out to David Theodore Bos III on his special day, May 6, when he turns 8 years old.

Have a fun day, Trey.

May 7, a very happy birthday to Vicki Trott, to Don Dahlstrom, and to Owen Louis Kress. All have a wonderful day.

May 8, birthday wishes go out to Glen Albee as he enjoys that special day. I imagine Glen will celebrate it planting corn.

Rebekah Petersen, Andy Atkinson and Noah Hile, birthday wishes go out to all of you on May 9 with many more to come.

May 10, a very happy birthday to Connie Quam, Dawn Ternberg, Alice Denotter, and Michael Todd Williamson as you celebrate 9 years, with more to come.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Pat Hecht, 80, who passed away recently. Sunday there was a memorial for her. She was the grandma of Pattie Hecht and the great-grandma of Pattie’s little girl.

Well, the Burnett County Board voted to borrow $5 million to build a new shop in Siren. This will amount to the taxpayers paying an additional $22-$27 more on their real estate taxes. I believe this was based on $100,000 value of property. This is for 10 years and hopefully by then the loan will be paid off.

Yep, it’s that time of year. The end of this month is Memorial Day and gas is certainly up. I guess they got to get every nickel for the gas. At this time the price is $2.149/10.
