BIRCHWOOD — The Washburn County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search Sunday morning, Nov. 1, in the Birchwood area for a male subject that escaped custody.

At approximately 1:25 a.m., a Washburn County deputy and Birchwood Police responded to a residence on Stout Road in the Town of Birchwood for two people that were sleeping or occupying a guest home belonging to the owners of the residence. They were uninvited guests. Prior to the criminal trespassing, a vehicle was crashed into a tree not far from the home.

Two suspects were involved. Nicole A. Hubbell, Rice Lake, is in the Washburn County Jail booked in on burglary and disorderly conduct.

Tracey R. Darling was arrested for OWI drug related, using meth and other drug charges. Darling was handcuffed with belly chains and put in the backseat of a squad car. Officers proceeded to clear the crash scene. Darling managed to force open the partition, prisoner cage, climb into the front seat of the squad car and flee the scene, still restrained in handcuffs and belly chains.

An exhaustive search was conducted with the assistance of Barron County sheriff’s deputies, Sawyer County deputies, the Birchwood Police Department, Spooner Police Department, Wiscon-

sin State Patrol and their aircraft out of Eau Claire.

“I called off the search at 10:30 a.m. Sunday after family members said they had talked to Darling and he will turn himself in to authorities if we back off, so we did. I was no longer concerned for his welfare as he Tracey R. Darling was in touch with family. We were trying to locate him not only because he escaped custody but we were concerned for his well-being as he was in handcuffs and belly chains,” said Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden.

At 2:39 p.m., Darling turned himself in at the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department. — with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department Facebook page

Our local veterans: Don Buckman

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Wednesday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day, a day to honor those that have served in the U.S. armed forces. In anticipation of this day, the Register shares the service story of a local veteran who served in the first confrontation between two nuclear powers, a conflict that involved the service of nearly 6 million Americans, known as the Korean War. “I couldn’t get a teaching job because no one would hire me, I was No. 1 on the draft list,” said

Don Buckman of Shell Lake. After graduating from Northland College in 1950 with a bachelor’s degree in science, Buckman could only find work at a grocery store in Ladysmith, the same store where he had worked throughout college and some of high school. Then, in December of 1950, Buckman was drafted and he went into the service on Jan. 3 leaving behind his fiancé, Carol, and aspirations of becoming a teacher.

Halloween fun

Dr. Seuss was the inspiration behind the costumes that Sora Petty, Xaiden Petty and Cali Hall wore for Halloween. They were the Cat in the Hat, and Thing One and Thing Two.

Jamie Trudel takes time from his duties at the fire hall to pose with his three boys, Asher, Jonah and Malachi. Jamie has been with the Shell Lake Fire Department for several months. The fire hall is a favorite stopping-off place for trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

Carina and Milena Juza were both Elsa for Halloween. Elsa is a popular character from the movie “Frozen.”

Ashlyn and Donavan Emerson with their dog, Diesel, stopped by the Lakeland Manor for treats as they made the Halloween trek. Even Diesel was in costume.

Kaelin Farley, dressed as Miss Piggy, wins the competition for most adorable costume. She was a favorite at the Lakeland Manor. Halloween was on Saturday, Oct. 31, giving the children plenty of daylight to make their annual trek a safe one.

Morgan Hoffmann looks to have a splitting headache as she goes trick-or-treating. Besides being a fun holiday for this Shell Lake fifth-grader it is also her birthday.

WisDot schedules Hwy. 53 Preservation Study public involvement meeting SPOONER — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Northwest Region is holding a public involvement meeting regarding the Hwy. 53 Preservation Study from the Barron/Washburn County line to Hwy. 70. Communities in the study area include the towns of Beaver Brook, Long Lake, Madge and Sarona.

The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 11, from 5-7 p.m., at the Spooner

Agricultural Research Station, W6646 Hwy. 70. The meeting will feature a brief presentation beginning at 5:30 p.m. The remainder of the meeting will follow an open house format.

The study team has developed a range of alternatives that used both technical analysis and public input from the first round of meetings. The purpose of the upcoming meeting is to obtain commu-

nity input about the range of alternatives.

Exhibits will be on display and attendees will be given the opportunity to provide written or verbal comments. WisDOT staff will also be on hand to answer questions.

The Hwy. 53 Preservation Study includes an alternative study, environmental assessment and preliminary engineering along the existing roadway.

Construction funding has not been programmed but the study is necessary to preserve the future right of way. WisDOT is conducting the study now to ensure long-term options are not precluded as land uses change along the corridor over time, and to help the communities plan development in a way that will be compatible with changes to these highways.

Buckthorn control at Stone Lake Wetland Park STONE LAKE — With the fall season in its prime, leaves are disappearing quickly. However, you may still notice some green-leafed shrubs or small trees.

They are most likely the invasive shrub buckthorn. It crowds out native species of woodland trees, shrubs and flowers. Two species, common and glossy buckthorn, can grow up to 20 feet tall with several sprouting stems. Both look very similar, having shiny green leaves, but the common is rounder in shape and its veins run up toward the leaf tip, where glossy buckthorn leaf veins grow toward the side of the leaf. The edges of common buckthorn are serrated. The female plants of both species produce small black berries. The berries are eaten by birds, leading to the plants dispersal over the landscape.

On Oct. 8, an educational workshop was held at the Stone Lake Wetland Park, which, uniquely, is the state’s only community wetland park. The workshop was hosted by the Washburn County Land and Water Department and the St. CroixRed Cedar Cooperative Weed Management Area. The CWMA is a partnership of local, state, federal, tribal, nonprofit, community, and private agencies and organizations. It coordinates efforts to prevent and control invasive species across Washburn, Burnett, Polk, St Croix and Barron counties. Representatives from UW-Extension, WisDNR, park committee members and other landowners were also in attendance for the event and to offer advice.

The wetland park is 17 acres, with 11

of that covered in buckthorn. The park committee has been extending its control efforts for about eight years. Craig Baldridge, committee member stated, “We realized we needed to throw money into the project, which led to membership drives and getting the Friends of the Wetland Park involved.” Donations and grant funds have helped with the cutting and spraying the stumps with herbicide, along with spraying the leaves. The committee continues to seek funds for the control project and to help the park get to an even more stable, native tree and shrub community.

Triclopyr is the active ingredient for herbicide treatments, and is found in products such as Garlon 4 and Element.

Triclopyr is mixed with an oil-based solu-

tion called Bark Oil Blue, and is sprayed 12-18 inches up the base of the buckthorn.

It absorbs into the bark and makes its way down to the root system, eventually killing it. Fall is a good time to apply the herbicide because that’s the time of the year when plants are sending nutrients to the roots. Landowners can also cut and spray the stump or spray leaves with the herbicide. For those who don’t want to apply herbicide, there is a tool called a weed wrench that can be used to pull smallersized stems up.

For more information about buckthorn identification and control techniques, contact Lisa Burns at 715-468-4654 or lburns@ co.washburn.wi.us. — from WCLWD

Inside Washburn County’s drug and alcohol court Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - “Our process is, we go around the table and I ask everyone what they think – quite frankly I’m a judge and I thought you should be going to jail today but you’re not going to jail because of the vote there,” said Washburn County Judge Eugene Harrington while pointing to members of the Washburn County Drug and Alcohol Court program.

“They don’t think you should - it would be counterproductive and really they’re right.”

It’s just after 8:30 a.m. in the courtroom of the Washburn County Courthouse and the drug and alcohol court program is in session. Four people – three women and a man – sit in the wooden gallery benches watching, waiting. They are part of the program and are waiting for their own hearing with the judge. DAC team members AJ Simon, MH/AODA coordinator; Dan Brereton, Washburn County Jail Administrator; Kim Shafer, Washburn County Justice Programs coordinator; Tammy Aaler, probation agent; and Martin Jarvis, an attorney with the public defender’s office; watch from the jury box.

Harrington asks “Jack” why he didn’t complete the tasks assigned to him by the DAC team. Jack explains he’s having a hard time meeting the obligations of the program because his wife thinks he isn’t meeting his roles as a father and husband so she kicked him out of the house.

“Jack told me, and I believe him, that, ‘It started out with a negative, with drug and alcohol court, but it turned into a blessing. He’s starting to get comfortable with it, ‘honesty is best even if I’m worried about disappointing people, it’s all here to help me. I’ve been changing my whole mind-set,’” said Lori Henderson-Olson, DAC Program case manager. Harrington acknowledged the good in the statement but told Jack he needs to show himself and the team with actions to meet the program’s obligations.

Just before Jack’s hearing a woman, “Jane,” was the first hearing of the morning. She also hadn’t met the obligations set up for her but she wasn’t before Harrington two minutes before she was on her way to the Washburn County Jail.

“The drug and alcohol court is highly structured and it has real specific requirements, clients are accountable for each day and each week,” said HendersonOlson. The DAC program holds participants accountable for three times a week attendance to community support meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous or Nar-

The Washburn County Drug and Alcohol Court is for many participants a wake-up call to the dangerous lifestyle they are living.

cotics Anonymous; at least twice-a-week urine analysis tests; appearing for the twice-monthly DAC court hearings; and any other tasks they are assigned by the DAC team.

“Frankly words are cheap ... I am more impressed with action and progress,” said Harrington to Jack, but his message was clearly not limited to him alone. After Jack the morning’s third hearing involved a woman, “Betty,” who has entered the second stage of the program. Betty is now leasing her own place and has her children and pets back.

“Long step from July when I yelled at you, put you in jail,” said Harrington.

Betty concedes his point, adding that “life is awesome,” to which Harrington cautions her to remember to take one day at a time.

“It’s not an easy program, it’s a very demanding program and sometimes I think for some people it’s too demanding,” said Martin Jarvis, public defender. Jarvis explained that DAC participants often have

families and jobs not to mention issues like transportation, housing and poverty.

While not all Washburn County DAC Program participants are poor, usually the people that need representation by a public defender are economically challenged.

“These are people in our community, these aren’t some ‘other,’” Jarvis pointed out. “This isn’t a big city where the judges and the DA and the defense attorneys live in the nice part of town and don’t give a sh-- about anybody else. These are my kids’ peers, these are people I want to see in the community and grocery store and have them be able to hold their head high and be able to look them in the eye,” he said.

The morning’s hearings closed on a high note with the graduation of Crystal Streitz from the program. Asked to share her thoughts on the DAC program, Streitz said it started out rough.

“I guess I didn’t have very much faith in myself, there was a lot of people that doubted me,” said Streitz. She explained

she felt overwhelmed, frustrated and upset by the obligations of the program but as she went through the different stages things got easier.

“I know I did it but without you guys giving me the kick in the butt I probably wouldn’t be standing here today,” said Streitz, addressing the DAC team. “I just want to say thank you. I’ve learned a lot of lessons. Drug court really saved my life,” she said.

Voluntary Typically a person is referred to the program by their probation agent because they are facing revocation of their probation, and the program is offered as an alternative to jail. To start, people observe a session of the DAC program and meet with the team to explain why they want to be part of the program. Then the team determines if they will be accepted into the program.

“It’s voluntary, technically, but I think a lot of people feel forced into it because they don’t want to go to jail or prison,” said Henderson-Olson. Once accepted, they go through an interview with Schaffer, the county’s justice programs coordinator, and a separate interview with Henderson-Olson, who also has a master’s in mental health counseling and works as a counselor for Soar Counseling Services in Shell Lake.

“The drug and alcohol court has shown it’s effective using both pressures, the legal pressures and the treatment pressure ... in combination it appears to be quite effective for a lot of folks,” said HendersonOlson. While in the program, participants are supposed to be in school, looking for a job or working. If they aren’t working they should be doing community service, which is one of the ways they can pay off half of the $750 program fee.

“The big thing I think of is challenging them to do better,” said Schaffer. The challenge is much like a balancing act between court, family and work obligations.

“Even if they eventually fail we are creating experts who live among people with substance abuse issues,” said Jarvis. “Besides, keeping people out of jail or prison and saving taxpayer dollars by doing so, the program is also giving people knowledge of the resources available to them.”

“A lot of these participants we’re getting don’t have the support when they enter and by the time they leave or graduate drug court they have those supports built up,” said Schaffer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Still time for doing the right thing More glossy political flyers in the mailbox. More half-true ads on television.

More robocalls and opinion surveys. More money for politics and politicians. Two bills now in the Wisconsin Senate and one already signed by Gov. Walker muzzle the elections watchdog, the GAB. Judging from his opinion letter and radio remarks this Monday, Rep. Quinn thinks that is just fine. So does the Tea Party. They sweep away the concerns that Democrats and moderate Republicans are voicing.

These bills are held up in the Senate, where, fortunately, six Republican sena-

tors are holdouts. One of these, Sen. Luther Olson, worries about replacing six nonpartisan former judges on the GAB with political appointees. A board composed of three Democrats and three Republicans will probably deadlock, preventing investigations from moving forward.

Senate leadership has signed on but express doubts. Sen. Scott Fitzgerald is hesitant to allow campaign coordination between issue advocacy groups and a politician’s campaign. He says the bills create “gray areas.” Sen. Tiffany said he

wants more discussion about allowing unlimited corporate contributions to political parties.

The six Senate Republican holdouts are now the targets of Tea Party robocalls. Tea Party ads attacking these legislators frame it as a free speech issue, a point of view that got support with the Citizens United decision. That group taps the Koch billions, and their need to make the most of their most powerful tool, money, is obvious. It is common sense, however, that our democracy is damaged when there are no limits to the amount and the man-

ner of political spending. We are all sick of it.

There is room in the Republican Party, obviously, for a more balanced view than that of the Tea Party. Quinn’s opinion and supporting vote in the Assembly is unfortunate, but there is still time for thoughtful and moderate Republicans in the Senate to join Democrats and do the right thing.

Local veterans/from page 1 Because of his college education, Buckman was trained as a medic at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, in a company of 250 other college graduates. The company also went through basic training at Fort Hood in Texas. At the end of their training, half were sent to Korea and the other half were assigned to serve in different parts of the United States. Buckman was assigned to serve as an Army medic at the Camp Edwards base hospital on Cape Cod. “We’d get people from the front lines in Korea, five days out, and they had put plaster on the legs on some of them and by the time we got them they had gangrene and they’d lose their legs,” said Buckman. He added that the hospital where he was stationed had a good staff and many doctors that worked to provide for the wounded veterans. After five months as a medic, Buckman saw an opportunity when the current company clerk, a reservist, was getting out.

“The first thing the sergeant asked was can anybody in this company type, and I raised my hand right quick because we were all picking up cigarette butts and everything else they had for us to do,” said Buckman. A change of his military occupational specialty number and Buckman be-

ACCIDENT REPORT

Tuesday, Oct. 20 At approximately 3:35 a.m., Matthew Sisko, 18, South Range, was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Brooklyn 1.5 miles north of CTH F when he lost control of his 1999 Ford Ranger truck. Sisko said he fell asleep and went off the road. He entered the ditch and struck several trees before coming to a rest. Sisko sustained an incapacitating injury in the accident and was medically transported because of his injury. The truck had very severe damage to the front, middle and undercarriage.

Sisko was cited for inattentive driving.

Friday, Oct. 23 At approximately 7:32 p.m., Donald Robarge, Birchwood, and his wife, Sandra Robarge, Birchwood, left Paul’s Pizza Den in Birchwood and were told that someone had backed into their vehicle. They were given the license plate number of the vehicle that had hit their 2014 Toyota

Tacoma, which had sustained very minor damage. A Washburn County sheriff’s deputy contacted Philip Madison, 68, Birchwood, in connection to the accident.

When contacted Madison stated he didn’t know he had hit a vehicle.

Saturday, Oct. 24 At approximately 6:45 p.m., Harold Jones, 68, Onalaska, was westbound on Hwy. 70 in the Town of Evergreen when he hit a deer just east of Perch Lake Road. Jones was not injured but the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica he was driving received minor damage to the front and front passenger side.

Sunday, Oct. 25 At approximately 1 a.m., Timothy Lester, 29, Beaverton, Mich., was eastbound on CTH H in the Town of Spooner when he drove off the roadway.

Lester, driving a 2010 Ford van, drove into a sign post, crossed through the

“My becoming company clerk changed my role considerably, others were still medics and served patients in the hospital,” he said. Because of his new MOS as company clerk, Buckman gained freedoms he didn’t have before.

“I took patients to summer theaters and had leaves to go to Boston, Mass., Maine and Washington, D.C. I had a good life,” said Buckman. It was only every few weeks he was able to get a three-day pass, but he used that time to explore the Northeast. A neighbor of his from Superior was in the same company, and on occasion they took leave together, once to visit the veterans cemetery in Washington, D.C. Buckman also visited John Hovey, a college friend, who then lived in D.C. and worked at the Navy Research Laboratory there. Hovey lives in Spooner today, retired from 33 years at the Navy Research Lab and a later career at Streaseu Lab. “It was a really good life because I didn’t have any difficulties with service time or anything else. I did the work I had to do as company clerk, all the paperwork, and then I took trips … so it was a good life for me, but it was a sad life for some people we had coming back,” he said. Buckman was asked to stay on for another year where he

would serve in Turkey, but Buckman decided another year of service wasn’t what he wanted.

“I think those two years gave Don time to evaluate what he wanted to do as a career and that turned out to be the field of education,” said Carol, Buckman’s wife. In December of 1952 he was discharged from service. Buckman returned to his education at the University of Minnesota and married Carol on Jan. 31, 1953.

By 1954, Buckman attained a master’s in education and later a Bachelor’s of Science in elementary education. He went on to be a sixth-grade teacher and later a principal, enjoying a 22-year career at Richfield School District. During that time, he worked with several staff members that were also veterans of the Korean War who shared their service stories with him.

Looking back Buckman doesn’t have any bad thoughts about the service, but acknowledges his experience was very different than that of some veterans.

Today Buckman is 87 years old, calls Shell Lake his permanent home and recently celebrated 63 years of marriage with Carol.

intersection of Spooner Lake Road, hit another sign post and sideswiped two trees near a driveway. Lester left the accident scene and drove to the motel where he was staying in Hayward. Lester later told a Washburn County sheriff’s deputy that he had been drinking and that is why he left the accident scene. Lester was cited for failure to report an accident and driving too fast for conditions.

At approximately 7:12 p.m., Katie Smart, 24, Duluth, Minn., was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Sarona when she hit a deer just north of Duck Pond Road. Smart was not injured but the 2015 Chrysler van received severe damage.

Tuesday, Oct. 27 At approximately 9:32 p.m., Jeffery Huggett, 52, Howell, Mich., was westbound on Hwy. 77 in the Town of Minong when he hit a deer just west of Greenwood Road. Huggett was not

injured and his 2013 Chevy truck was drivable from the scene.

Thursday, Oct. 29 At approximately 9:45 p.m., Mark Regner, 61, Spooner, was southbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Minong when he hit a bear just north of the Hwy. 53 crossover. Regner was not injured but the 2015 Chevy Equinox he was driving was towed from the scene.

Saturday, Oct. 31 At approximately 6:30 a.m., Bruce Frei, 51, Stone Lake, was westbound on CTH B in the Town of Madge when he hit a deer near Golf Road. Frei was not injured but the 2011 Honda Odyssey van he was driving received damage to the front. — Danielle Danford with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office

Regional meetings in Wisconsin focus on best practices for dementia care Shamane Mills | WPR News STATEWIDE - The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is holding a series of meetings for local communities to discuss the best practices for treating dementia.

The meetings will specifically focus on the guiding principles for dementia care that the DHS recently released as part of Dementia-Capable Wisconsin, an initiative that aims to improve care throughout the state. The principles are not only

designed for those with the disease and their caregivers, but also the community at large.

At one meeting in Madison last week, Portage Mayor Bill Tierney talked about “memory cafes,” places where those with dementia can socialize.

“That was our first real big step in Portage,” said Tierney. “Every fourth Wednesday, we hold a memory cafe at the Portage Library and it’s been phenomenally successful. I just stopped (by), and

the group continues to grow. And now there are many memory cafes throughout this part of the state.”

Pharmacists also talked about doing memory screenings for customers, delivering medication, and managing prescriptions for seniors so they’d be taken properly. State health officials discussed progress in reducing the use of antipsychotics for patients who may be difficult to control.

In a report last year, the Centers for

Medicare & Medicaid Services ranked Wisconsin fourth-lowest in the nation in the use of antipsychotic medications in nursing home residents. Overall, Wisconsin’s nursing home resident use of antipsychotics is 14.6 percent compared to the national average of 19.4 percent.

The next DHS meetings will take place Thursday, Nov. 5, in Wausau, and Friday, Nov. 6, in Eau Claire.

Empty rectory repurposed for Washburn County homeless Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER — “They call it the hidden problem in rural Wisconsin because they are not visible like in the big cities where you see them,” said Mary Shepard, vice chair of the Washburn County Homeless Coalition. While Washburn County residents may not see the faces of people living without a home, organizations like Washburn Christian Outreach, the Salvation Army, local food pantries and churches know how real the homeless situation is in Washburn County.

The idea to use the rectory of St. Alban’s Episcopal Church as a place to shelter Washburn County residents going through homelessness formed when St. Alban’s realized the house would be sitting empty for two years. The idea was brought to the attention of Washburn County Salvation Army and Washburn Christian Outreach in July and the empty house breathed life into the once-active Washburn County Homeless Coalition.

WCHC hit the ground running to get the residence, now called Alban’s House, up and operating.

“We are all excited for the very first family to come in,” said Shepard, who is also Alban’s House manager. Part shelter, part transition house, Alban’s House offers shelter to those in need while also connecting its residents with local resources to get them back on their feet. Alban’s House is now a reality through the

Register memories 1955 – 60 Years Ago

• Warren Livingston, 21, Shell Lake, escaped serious injury but his car was demolished when it overturned near Stegeman’s Drive-In. Livingston was knocked out but regained consciousness a short time later and was not hospitalized.

• Shell Lake volunteers at the Bloodmobile were Cleigh Magnusson, Nick Masterjohn, John McNabb, Mrs. Alf Peterson, the Rev. D. Schoeffer, Ray Rydberg, Charles H. Lewis, Floyd Pederson, Mrs. Frank Graf, Mrs. Ellsworth Mallo and Mrs. Tracy Lumby.

• In a business transfer, the Shell Lake Hotel and Bar was taken over by Mr. and Mrs. Arden Tollefson, Minneapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Sigurd Gullickson, who operated the hotel and bar for several years, planned for Sigurd to spend full time on his painting business while Rose would continue as cook at the hotel.

• Connie Lunderwall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Lunderwall, a junior majoring in physical education, and Raymond Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Miller, sophomore, majoring in secondary education, were initiated into Kappa Delta Pi national honor society at the Wisconsin State College in La Crosse.

1965 – 50 Years Ago

• “Mother is a Freshman” was the title of the junior-senior class play at Shell Lake. Cast members were Bonnie Pieper, Janet Porter, Debby Davenport, Suzanne Duch, Beth Axon, Nancy Welter, Kay Hillman, Shannon Rohlik, Debby Peterson, Carl Krantz, Lynn Linton, Dave Nyberg, Dave Brown, Kevin Petz and Terry Swan.

ity with the Spooner Police Department, residents and businesses in the neighborhood.

“They’re behind it 100 percent,” she said. A public informational meeting was also held at St. Alban’s Church about a month ago. But Shepard said that the future success of Alban’s House stills depends on community support and volunteers.

“It’s a starting point for us because once we’re sure we’ve got the community behind us then maybe we can look for something bigger,” she said. Alban’s House can hold a maximum of seven people, but families are going to be given priority, largely to offer shelter to children and to the limited capacity of the house itself.

In order to serve families, Alban’s House may only have a couple of families in residence at a time, but Shepard acknowledged the number of families that can be served will fluctuate on a case-by-case basis. Shepard said that no referrals have come forward yet, but they do know of one family that could come in at any time and that they are aware of other families in need.

“If the community is behind it, if we get the support, if things go well, then we are going to be looking for a larger place,” she said. Alban’s House also welcomes aid in the form of monetary donations. Donations can be made out to St. Alban’s Episcopal Church and mailed to 1403 Scribner St. No. 1 Spooner, WI 54801.

Memory matters: Learn, live and take control

SPOONER — National Memory Screening Week is Nov. 1-7. The Aging and Disability Resource Center, along with a variety of community partners, will be presenting Normal Aging Forgetfulness versus What’s Not, at various sites throughout Washburn County during the month of November.

The schedule for Thursday, Nov. 5, is 11:30 a.m., Minong Senior Center, 700 Houston St.; 4:30 p.m., Spooner Health System, 819 Ash St., lower-level conference room; and 6 p.m., Glenview community room, 201 Glenview Lane, Shell Lake.

Dr. Mark Van Etten will be available at

the Spooner Health System presentation to answer specific questions and provide additional information.

Tuesday, Nov. 10, the schedule is 11 a.m., Lakeside Center, 110 Euclid Ave., Birchwood, and 5 p.m., the Minong Center, 212 W. 5th Ave., Minong. Peggy Schmidt, one of the dementia care specialists, will be available at Lakeside Center in Birchwood.

Sign-up sheets will be available at all presentations for those who would like to have a memory screen at a later date. The ADRC has staff trained to administer the free screening and will followup to sched-

ule. Memory screening helps identify possible changes in memory and understanding. It creates a baseline for a person who may be experiencing problems recalling or retaining information, so future changes can be monitored. Just as prevention exams for blood pressure, cancer, diabetes and stroke contribute to early detection and better treatment, so do memory screens. Individuals get immediate results and can keep them for future comparison and/or share them with their health-care provider.

The memory screen does not diagnose Alzheimer’s disease or other demen-

tias. The screen is a tool to detect signs and symptoms of memory change that, depending on the results, may indicate need for a follow-up appointment with a medical professional. Further tests by a health-care provider can rule out medical causes for memory change.

You are invited to learn more about Normal Aging Forgetfulness versus What’s Not at various sites throughout the month of November. For more information call the ADRC at 888-538-3031.

Northern Star announces 2016 season

RICE LAKE — The Northern Star Theatre is pleased and excited to announce the shows they will present in 2016. This NSTC season promises something old, something new, something borrowed, but nothing blue as it brings back a few favorites, premiers recent Broadway hits and includes some shows based on popular literature. The season opens in February with Kids&Tweens OnStage presenting “Schoolhouse Rock Jr.” The Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning educational cartoon series and pop culture phenomenon is now the basis for this fun musical. Later, in April, TeensOnStage, in cooperation with Northern Lakes Academy Charter School, will offer Shakespeare’s classic tragedy “Macbeth.” Set mainly in Scotland, the play dramatizes the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake.

Next comes “Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical.” Three men and three women make up the cast of this wacky musical that takes a comic look at the age-old conditions and situations faced in midlife. In

June NSTC will present “Shrek,” based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, “Shrek.” The musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy-tale adventure featuring all-new songs from Jeanine Tesori, who wrote the music for “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” and “Caroline, or Change,” and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. “Shrek” brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life onstage, and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears.

In the August musical, “The Andrews Brothers,” a USO performance from the Andrews Sisters is in jeopardy of cancellation when they fail to appear shortly before curtain. Thankfully three earnest stagehands are determined to go on with the show! “The Andrews Brothers” is filled to the brim with over 25 songs made famous by the Andrews Sisters, including showstoppers “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Slow Boat to China,” “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” and “Ac-CentTchu-Ate the Positive.” Mistaken identities and madcap adventures — imagine Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in a road

movie of “Some Like It Hot” — along with the music of an entire generation highlight this wonderful valentine to the heroes of World War II. Just in time for ice-fishing season a dinner theater in November features “Guys on Ice.” “Guys on Ice” portrays a day in the life of Marvin and Lloyd — fishing buddies and homegrown philosophers.

Musical numbers include “The Wishing Hole,” “Ode to a Snowmobile Suit,” “Fish is the Miracle Food” and “The One That Got Away.”

Close out the year and begin your holidays next December with “It’s a Wonderful Life - Live Radio Show,” a show the whole family will enjoy. This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast.

With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve. Six shows (the only excluded show is the Kids/Tween production of “Suessical Jr.”) are included in the 2016 season ticket

package. NSTC fans are reminded that season tickets are transferable, you’re welcome to invite a friend or family member to use your season ticket for any show you can’t attend. Tickets may be purchased by calling NSTC at 715-736-4444. Season tickets and NSTC gift certificates make great holiday gifts and are available now. Season tickets and gift certificates can also be purchased at the Rice Lake Chronotype during regular business hours. Find more info about 2016 on the NSTC website at: northernstartheatre-co.org. Auditions for 2016 will be held in early January.

NSTC is located in downtown Rice Lake at 104 S. Main on the Red Cedar River. The Northern Star Theatre Company is a 100-percent volunteer nonprofit corporation. Area businesses are invited to join in NSTC’s Partnership for the Arts by offering their support as a sponsor of 2015 programing. More information on the Partnership for the Arts program can be found on NSTC’s website or by calling the theater. — from NSTC

PAGE 8 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - NOVEMBER 4, 2015

Veterans Day, a time to honor and show respect Wednesday, Nov. 11, our country will be honoring our veterans with programs being held at area schools.

Beyond the I recall as a high school student, we would gather in our high school gym for the annual Veterans Day Sam Italiano, who program. Unfortunately, not everyone connected as to office door served as a tunnel rat why we were able to get out of class to sit through a program to honor what some felt was a bunch of older guys. Hence, perhaps we weren’t as respectful as we should have been.

When I was born, the Vietnam War was still being fought. Since this war was from Nov. 1, 1955, to April 30, 1975, as a child I would view a little bit of the coverage during the evening news and not truly understand what was happening. The war ended when I was a freshman in high school.

As a fourth-grader, a guest speaker shared with our class about being a prisoner of war during World War II. I remember sitting quietly, listening as he spoke. In my mind I thought, I’m glad I don’t have to go to war.

My parents limited what TV shows we could watch while I was growing up. If a movie with a war theme was on, we didn’t watch. I grew up with a tainted view of war because I did watch reruns of the TV show “Hogan’s Heroes” that originally aired from 1965-1971. This sitcom was set in a German prisoner of war camp during World War II. I obviously knew it was fiction. For those of you that watched that show, you too will recall that a prisoner wouldn’t be able to run the compound like Hogan and his fellow prison-

in Vietnam, presented this tunnel rat pin to Suzanne Johnson.

Suzanne Johnson

ers did. Based on their physical appearance, Werner Klemperer, who played the part of Col. Wilhelm Klink, reminded me of my great-uncle Ted Turnquist.

Another TV show that depicted war was “M*A*S*H*” that aired from 1972-1983. This show was based on the 1968 novel, “MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors” by Richard Hooker. The Vietnam War was still in progress at the start of this situation comedy, which was based on a mobile army surgical hospital during the Korean Conflict.

In May, the Register printed stories about area veterans. When Sam Italiano, Sarona, visited the newspaper office, he gave me a tunnel rat pin. Italiano, with the Marine Corps, served in Vietnam as a tunnel rat. In his interview, Italiano shared about going down into the

tunnels and searching the enemy out.

We have many veterans amongst us today. These people went through situations that would not make an entertaining half-hour comedy TV show. All veterans need to be honored and given respect as they have fought in various wars around the world. I am married to a veteran. I didn’t know him at the time of his service to our country. I owe veterans my respect and gratitude for the sacrifices they made in order for me to enjoy the greatness of this country I live in.

November memories The coming of another November brings back so many memories of other times. There are the holidays, beginning with Armistice Day on the 11th, and then Thanksgiving.

What we call World War I, known at the time as “The Great War,” and then when our country got into it, as “The War to End All Wars,” came to a close after the loss of 20 million people. It was a mechanized war, with modern weapons, and ruthless leaders. Poison gas was used, causing many casualties on the enemy and the winds made it come back on those who used it. This mustard gas added to the loss of life, even among the wounded after sometimes years of suffering. Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m., there was a ceasefire declared in France.

It was called an armistice, which meant a ceasefire.

But it ended in negotiating and compromise, and some say it set the stage for the next war.

In our town, there were many people who were in the war. My father had an older brother in the Army over there. He was named Luke, and he drove an ambulance and tended to the wounded soldiers. My dad was 16 years old. He often told us about the time when the casket bearing his older brother’s body came home. The brother he admired and wanted to be like more than anything was in the casket in the living room for the wake, and then taken by the pallbearers out the door and taken in a hearse to the cemetery to be buried. The cause of death was the flu.

Other boys from our town were lost, too. My uncle served in the Navy and came home. If he talked about the war at all he would say the worst thing he saw was when the ship next to them was hit by a U-boat and exploded and even the seawater was on fire. They

Old wife’s tales Mary B. Olsen tried to rescue people but not many were recovered.

He said the worst was the crying of the horses, many horses that struggled in the water among the flaming oil. I know he didn’t like to tell about it, but he thought we should know some things you don’t see in history books. He would be very quiet for a long time, and we would be, as well. You have to respect people who were brave and survived, as well as those who didn’t make it.

They have a monument at the city park listing the names of those who served in that war. My uncles’ names are on it. Our country had Nov. 11 declared Armistice Day. It was to be a special day to honor the military men killed in the war. Every year there would be a national moment of silence on Nov. 11, at 11 a.m.

The president would have a ceremony and it might be in the movie news and on the radio and in pictures in the newspapers. We had our moment of silence, I suppose, but mostly we prayed for those who gave their lives. There were two official moments of silence. The first was for those military men who died, and the second moment was for the living who were left behind.

Find us on Facebook

They were the wives, children and families who lost their soldier or sailor.

After World War II, they changed the name of the day to All Veterans Day and later just Veterans Day. It was to explicitly honor those servicemen killed in the war and those who served. There are cemeteries in France where our soldiers are buried. It is the destination of many tourists. My brother’s two daughters went to France and visited one of the cemeteries. They thought Uncle Luke was buried there. Of course, he was buried near his home. Other Americans are resting there. Others who died in the next war are buried in France, many who died on D-Day and during the days after the landing.

We know of the terrible destruction and losses of our loved ones caused by wars. Sometimes, these November memories break your heart, but it is comforting to know that there is a Thanksgiving.

In school the students learned poems, and among them was this one.

“In Flanders Fields” was written by John McCrae, who was a Canadian military doctor. While serving in the war, he had to conduct a service for a man who was killed. That evening, from part of the eulogy, he wrote down the poem. The first verse is as follows:

In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard among the guns below.

Hospice helps patients and families focus on quality of life Spooner/Grantsburg Regional Hospice makes more meaningful moments possible SPOONER/GRANTSBURG — November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and hospices across the country are reaching out to raise awareness about the highest quality care for all people coping with life-limiting illness.

“Every year, nearly 1.6 million people living with a life-limiting illness receive

care from hospice and palliative care providers in this country,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “These highly trained professionals ensure that patients and families find dignity, respect and love during life’s most difficult journey.”

Hospice is not a place. Hospice and palliative care programs provide pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support and spiritual care to patients and their families when a cure is not possible.

Hospice and palliative care combine the highest level of quality medical care with the emotional and spiritual support that

families need most when facing the end of life. Through this specialized quality care, many patients and their families experience more meaningful moments together.

Hospice helps them focus on living despite a terminal diagnosis.

A hospice volunteer is quoted as saying, “Someone asked why I spend time volunteering for hospice. Because hospice was there for my family at a difficult time in our lives, and because hospice professionals provide the highest quality of medical care when people need it most.

Why do I volunteer for hospice? It must be love!”

Throughout the month of November,

Spooner/Grantsburg Regional Hospice Services will be joining organizations across the nation hosting activities that will help the community understand how important hospice and palliative care can be.

More information about hospice, palliative care and advance care planning is available from Spooner/Grantsburg Regional Hospice Services, 819 Ash St. Spooner, WI 54801. Phone: 715-635-9077.

Winter is on its way Are you prepared?

STATEWIDE — Some forecasters are predicting an El Nino winter this year that could mean warmer and drier conditions for Wisconsin. However, before you put your snow shovels and mittens back in storage, it might be a good idea to go ahead and get ready for snow and cold.

Last winter, the highest snow total for the state was reported in Hurley in Iron County with 144 inches of snow. The coldest temperature was minus 35 degrees recorded in Couderay in Sawyer County. Wisconsin receives its share of heavy snow and bitter cold temperatures, that’s why Gov. Scott Walker has declared Nov. 9-13 as Winter Awareness Week.

Before the snow flies, now is the time to get your home and vehicles ready. The

most important thing you can do is create an emergency supply kit for your car.

It could save your life. You never know when you might be stranded in a storm and it could be hours before help arrives.

Your emergency vehicle kit should include: • Blankets or sleeping bags; • Flashlight with extra batteries; • First-aid kit; • Shovel, booster cables and windshield scraper; • Nonperishable food like raisins and energy bars; • Water; • Sand or cat litter for traction; • Cell phone adapter; • Extra hats and gloves.

Every winter in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation says ap-

proximately 45 people are killed and more than 4,700 are injured in accidents on icy or snow-covered roads. Many of those accidents are caused by driving too fast in winter conditions. Slow down, build more travel time into your plans, and know the road conditions before you go this winter season with the 511 Wisconsin Traveler Information System. You can download the free 511 Wisconsin Smartphone app, follow @511WI on Twitter, visit 511wi.gov, or call 511.

Now is also the time to build or replenish your home emergency kit. Snow, freezing rain and strong winds can cause downed power lines. It could be hours or even days that your home could be without power. Here are some items to include in your emergency kit: • Flashlights with extra batteries or

other battery powered lights; • Nonperishable food and water; • A radio with batteries so you can listen to weather and other emergency information.

If the power goes out, never use outdoor cooking equipment such as a grill or a gas heater indoors as a heat source.

These items can produce deadly carbon monoxide gas. Also make sure you have a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with a backup battery.

For more tips on getting ready for winter in Wisconsin, visit readywisconsin. wi.gov. Also follow ReadyWisconsin on Twitter and Facebook for tips as well as weather information. — from Washburn County Emergency Management

Soil judging contest held for area students Takes the classroom outside GRANTSBURG — The tricounty soiljudging contest was held Wednesday, Oct. 21, in Burnett County at the Crex Meadows Wildlife Education and Visitor Center near Grantsburg. The contest is a tricounty event that includes students from school districts in Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties. There were 44 students participating with six schools represented. Each school was allowed two four-person teams and up to 18 individuals for the competition.

Students from Shell Lake participating were Niki Everroad, Caitlyn Rocarek, Logan Zebro, Stanley Medvedev, Ariana Udovich, Cassie Skattebo, Clare Walker, Marty Anderson, Amber Anderson, Courtney Melton, Katie Crosby, Madeline Hopke, Bailee Hanson and Sydney Schunck. Students from Spooner were Courtney Gardner, Brittany Lester, Brandi Predni, Jackie Rosenbush, Kate Rosenbush, Kaytlin Totten and Abby Zehm.

The contest is designed to allow students the opportunity to take the knowl-

edge gained in the classroom to the field, literally. Students judge four pits dug into the soil, based on the official manual, “Soil Study and Land Evaluation Handbook.” Their scores are tallied and totaled, and a short awards program follows with the top three teams receiving trophies and the top eight individuals receiving medallions.

Taking second place was Shell Lake’s team of Courtney Melton, Amber Anderson, Marty Anderson and Bailee Hanson.

Melton also placed third as an individual, and Marty tied for seventh place.

The Spooner students did not make it into the awards presentation this year, but they are eager to try again next year.

“For three of the students competing, this was their first year in the contest, and one of those individuals received the top score for Spooner. We are already looking forward to next year. This contest is a great way for students to challenge themselves and to continue to develop skills in understanding soils and the productive potential of the land,” said Susie OlsonRosenbush, Spooner FFA adviser. Jen Bos is the adviser for the Shell Lake FFA. — with submitted information

Spooner High School receives community support for automotive technology course Kyle Linton | High School Technical Education SPOONER — A few months ago, the Spooner High School automotive program reached out for help from the community.

What followed a simple ad in the paper was an outpouring of support from of community members and businesses offering their help with advice and donations.

The list of donations includes vehicles, a wheel balancer, a scan tool, various other tools and numerous automotive parts.

The automotive technology course is a valuable course for any student who owns or plans to own an automobile. Automotive technology teaches students how automobiles operate and specifically how and when to perform maintenance on an automobile. Students have the opportunity to complete labs on disc brakes, drum brakes, serpentine belts, suspension systems, scan tools, under-hood checks, oil changes and tire rotations, and they also use a tire changer and wheel balancer.

This course is designed for two purposes – for students to have a hands-on learning experience that teaches about maintaining and repairing their own vehicles and for students to delve into different career opportunities in the automotive field. All students in the high school are welcome to enroll in any of these courses and absolutely no prior mechanical knowledge is necessary.

“I am proud of the work Spooner High School students are doing as they learn about the specifics of an automobile. This course allows students to develop skills that they will be able to utilize for the rest of their lives. I look forward to continu-

Hunters are encouraged to submit a sample from harvested deer for CWD testing SPOONER — In cooperation with local businesses, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will collect deer heads for chronic wasting disease surveillance testing during the 2015 archery and gun hunting seasons.

If you harvest an adult deer within a 10-mile radius of Shell Lake you are encouraged to submit a sample from the harvested deer for CWD testing.

The department will also offer landowners within the Shell Lake two-mile radius sampling area scientific collector permits to harvest adult deer of either sex for CWD testing. Landowner permits were recommended by the CWD Citizen Advisory Team to focus sampling efforts that may provide valuable information regarding the health of deer on private lands. For more information, visit dnr.wi.gov and

search keywords CWD sampling.

Interested landowners within the twomile sampling area who would like a permit or more information can visit the Spooner DNR Service Center Thursday, Nov. 12, at 6 p.m. Participating landowners may assign hunters to harvest the deer and submit the head, and may assign someone else to pick up permits at the Nov. 12 meetings by calling the DNR. For more information or to give permission, please call 715-635-4025.

Information collected by cooperators and the department will be used to help assess the distribution of CWD within the local deer herd. To date, there have been no additional positives since one CWD-positive deer was discovered in fall 2011 in Washburn County.

Wisconsin’s citizens have played a key

role in CWD sampling efforts in Wisconsin, and the department would like to thank all participants and collection cooperators for their continued efforts.

Hunters can submit deer heads to one of the department’s refrigerated sampling kiosks. Kiosks are open around the clock, and sampling materials and tools to remove heads are available on-site. Antlers and hide may be removed prior to dropoff.

and famine, poverty and killing?”

“Indeed I do,” came his quick reply.

Astonished, the chairman of the committee asked, “Who?” “A king!” came the quick, confident response.

In utter disbelief the chairman replied, “A king? Where can we find such a king? Where has he been hiding?”

“Oh, he is not hiding,” replied the scientist. “He has made himself well known. It is just that people refuse to recognize him. You see, this man is incapable of making any mistakes, knows the power of healing - both physical healing and mental healing and he knows how to feed thousands and have food left over to feed many more. He can also take care of those without water and solve other problems that people bring to him.”

In disbelief, the chairman asked, “Who is this person you have described and where can we find him?”

“You can find him in the Bible. He is known as Jesus. In his life on earth he did all of the things I have mentioned. And he is capable of doing many more miraculous things,” he said.

The audience was stunned as the scientist took his seat.

The Psalmist wrote, “Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.” The throne described in this Psalm is Christ’s throne in heaven and will last through eternity. From this throne he will rule the world in love, justice and righteousness.

Judy Pieper

Hi again. I hope you had a fun Halloween. It was a little rainy and cold, but with all the indoor parties going on there should have been something for almost everyone to do. The little bit of snow that we had on Wednesday was a little scary — reminded me of what happened in 1991 — but thankfully it didn’t amount to much. Jay Olson drove up from Missouri that day to play for the party at the Hilltop on Saturday, and we were beginning to think he was jinxed. The last time he played at a Halloween party at the Hilltop was in 1991. Hmmm.

The Hilltop party was great! It was so much fun to dress up and dance to Jay’s music again. Jay’s son, Jordan, sang some of the songs while Jay played his guitar.

There were lots of people in costumes.

Justin and Casey Olson took first place in the costume contest. Justin had a costume that looked like he was riding piggyback on a gorilla, and Casey was dressed as a banana. Jeffrey Olson and his baby boy, Christian, were dressed as Dr. Evil and Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies.

Kenny Sparish came as himself, which was pretty scary but a lot better than some of the costumes he has chosen to wear in years past. I dressed as a witch.

No comments, please. We all had so much fun, and we decided that Jay should either move back up here or travel up every month or so to play for us.

The children’s Halloween party at the Barronett Community Center was a huge success this year, too. The civic club

Stone Lake

members put in a lot of work and time to make sure that everything looks spooky and that there are plenty of treats and food for everyone. There was a cakewalk, naturally, and eight or nine other games the kids could play. The costumes were so cute, and the kids were adorable. It seemed to me that the adults were having just as much fun watching as the kids were having playing the games. The members of the civic club extend gratitude to everyone for coming to the party.

They would also like to thank all the volunteers who took time out of their day to help make the party so enjoyable for the little ones.

The Oak View AFH Halloween party held at the community center on Thursday was one of the most successful and fun so far. In addition to Oak View clients, there were clients from two other area adult family homes, and several family members and guardians who joined us.

There was music and dancing, face painting, board games and lots of food for everyone. Gratitude is extended to everyone for coming to the party. We hope that we’ll have even more people join us next year.

We’re into November now, and you know what that means. Other than the fact that we’ll be getting property tax bills soon, that is. It means that there will be lots of Scandinavian dinners to go to. This Saturday, Nov. 7, Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Campia will be hosting their Ole and Lena lutefisk dinner from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the

Mary Nilssen

Even though the rainy weather showed up on Halloween, everyone that attended the children’s Halloween party had a wonderful time. Almost 300 people attended this community party. Gratitude is extended to all the wonderful sponsors and volunteers that made this event a huge success.

A veterans dinner will be served at noon on Thursday, Nov. 12, at the Stone Lake Lions Hall. This meal will be served by our senior citizens and the program will include a tribute to the late Gen. Harold Kissinger. To make reservations, please call the senior center at 715-865-2025 or Betty Helwig at 715-865-5500.

The Stone Lake Wesleyan Church is accepting new and gently used coats, hats and gloves for the second-annual Ccoat drive. They are currently in need of children’s items for all sizes and both genders. These items will be given to needy families in the community starting Saturday, Nov. 7. For more information, contact the church at 715-865-2881.

On Saturday, Nov. 14, there will be

Stone Lake Music Night from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Stone Lake Lions Hall. Come out for some fun and great music. Light refreshments will be available. Music Night will be held the second Saturday of each month.

A hunters chili feed will be held on Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Stone Lake Lions Hall from 4-7 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend.

Marie’s Hideaway in Stone Lake will be serving a traditional Thanksgiving Day meal this year. Turkey with all the trimmings will be served and Frankie encourages anyone who will be alone over Thanksgiving to stop in. This meal will start serving at noon and will go until it’s gone. Please call 715-865-5082 so Frankie has an idea of how many to prepare for.

Donations will be greatly appreciated but not necessary.

Have a nice week and be safe.

You have probably already heard that Walter Bell passed away Oct. 20. Walter was a great old guy with lots of stories to tell. Walter and his sons and friends were regulars at the Red Brick Cafe, where they had a table that was unofficially reserved for them every day. Once in a while someone who was just passing through and didn’t know the rules would inadvertently sit at Walter’s table. When Walter and his sons would arrive, he never actually asked anyone to move, but I don’t think anyone ever made that mistake twice. Everyone at the Red Brick spoiled Walter just a little bit, bringing a cushion for his chair and making sure he had exactly what he wanted to eat and drink. He celebrated his birthday there for the past several years and the cafe was always filled to capacity with well-wishers. We all knew and loved Walter, and we will miss seeing him in his usual place at the cafe, but we also know that he was ready to go home. There will be a memorial service for Walter at the Red Brick Cafe at a later date.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Have a great week, and I’ll see you next time.

Heart Lake We’ve had a lot of rain. It seems we wake up every morning to it. I don’t mind the rain, but it’s the gray skies that go with it. It has been rather chilly every day, too. I guess we had better get used to it as winter is just around the corner. We had snowflakes but not enough to stick around.

Cheri Minot had her twin girls home from Eau Claire over the weekend.

Happy birthday to Joni Parker last week and Jeff Pederson celebrated on Sunday.

Nick Pederson came up from Minneapolis to take him out to eat and also did some hunting.

The Packers didn’t do too good Sunday night but the Vikings came through with a win.

Helen V. Pederson Happy birthday to Annie Collins and Jean Weinig. Many more!

We had happy hour on Friday night.

Many people were dressed up for Halloween, including our two musicians: Tom and Dr. Goellner. Of course, we ended daylight saving time so it meant turning our clocks back.

Sue and Larry Winner stopped by with supper Saturday night bringing Chinese food for supper. That was a treat.

Nicole and Brent Pederson brought supper over to Jeff’s and they watched the game together.

If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon our heart. The spirit should not grow old.

Have a good week!

The brilliant purple fall asters come alive in the fall in a prairie west of Shell Lake. The perennial was a favorite among the early settlers who helped spread the flower wherever they went.

The vibrant colors of fall have given way to bare trees and gray skies. Everyone’s thoughts are now on the coming winter.

This beautiful sunrise was photographed in Crex Meadows near Grantsburg. Crex Meadows is teeming with wildlife that uses it for a stopover and staging area as they migrate south.
