Washburn County Economic Development Corporation director steps down Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER — Mike Spafford confirmed that he will be stepping down as director of the Washburn County Economic Development Corporation. “I can’t treat it as a part-time position. There are just too many things to be doing and they should be done,” said Spafford. Spafford stepped into the part-time position back in April of 2014, but there was more demand for
the position than he or the WCEDC board realized. Since he announced his intention to step down, the WCEDC has advertised for the position and has been taking applications with the intention of making it a full-time position. “They are going to increase the wages a little bit and make it a full-time position and hopeSee Director steps down, page 3
Annual meeting includes vote on increasing board size along with various resolutions Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER — Often described as grassroots democracy in action, annual meetings for school districts give authority to a district’s school board to perform duties charged by state statute including the care, control and management of the property and affairs of the school district. The Spooner Area School District’s annual meeting will occur on Monday, Oct. 19, which will start at 4:30 p.m. for voter signing and voting card distribution, as all votes will be done via a paper voting process this year. At 6 p.m. the budget hearing will start, at 6:30 p.m. the annual meeting will start and at 7:30 p.m. a regular board meeting is scheduled to start. Electors at the annual meeting may vote on a slew of resolutions from setting board members compensation to voting on a tax for the operation of the schools, each is important to maintaining the operation of the school district. During this year’s annual meeting, the electors of the Spooner Area School District will vote on whether to increase the existing seven-member board to an 11-member board. “If at the meeting the petition requested to change the number of school board members is adopted by a majority vote, the school board members shall be elected in the next school board election,” said Dan Rossmiller, govern-
ment relations director with the Wisconsin Association of School Boards. School board elections take place during the April spring election. The next spring election will be April 5, 2016. If necessary there would be a primary held on Feb. 16, 2016. Rossmiller explained that common reason school districts choose to increase the number of members on the school board is the district sees an increase in population. A news release from Families United for Spooner Excellence, the group that circulated the petition for the school board member increase, lists seven reasons for increasing the board size. Those reasons are assist present board with cost-saving solutions for budget concerns, explore effective ways to deal with decreased state funding for public education, allow citizens to participate in the workings of government to ensure proper public input when addressing compensation of board members, improve community relations through increased transparency and open dialogue, develop a comprehensive plan to address high student open enrollment out of the district, create a positive school environment to encourage staff retention, reduce time commitment overloads and improve effectiveness of board committee assignment.

Learning what to do in case of a fire Smokey Bear is demonstrating to the Shell Lake Primary School students the equipment that the firefighters will use to combat a fire. Smokey was at the school to help teach the children what to do in case of a fire during Fire Prevention Week. Stop drop and roll is what students are taught to do in case they catch on fire.
Will Weideman has made a new friend in Smokey Bear. The Shell Lake Fire Department was at the Shell Lake Primary School on Tuesday, Oct. 6, to talk to the students about fire and how to keep yourself safe.

Candidate for Congress makes stop in Shell Lake Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Kirk Bangstad, of Woodruff, stopped in Shell Lake on Tuesday, Oct. 6. In July, Bangstad announced his candidacy as a Democrat for the 7th Congressional District seat up in the fall 2016 election. Originally from Stevens Point, Bangstad attended Harvard and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in government but went on to become a management consultant for technology companies. Bangstad attended graduate school at Northwestern University for vocal studies and pursued a professional singing career. During that time, he met his wife, Elizabeth, and the couple settled in Woodruff to be close to family after she was diagnosed with cancer. Bangstad stopped in Shell Lake while he was on a four-county tour getting feedback from voters on what their issues are.
He plans to visit all 26 counties in the district and is holding listening sessions for voters to tell him about their concerns. Bangstad lists four points of why he decided to run for office. These include the need to increase the infrastructure of Northwest Wisconsin, namely the broadband access and roads, and to make secondary education more affordable. Bangstad also wants to reinvestment in science, explaining he has learned the powerful role science plays in developing new treatments, like the life-sustaining cancer treatments his wife is going through. He also thinks the American people need a government that accepts the climate is changing, the science behind it and that now is the time to prepare for its impacts. He also wants to see government strengthen the economy and help companies create better-paying jobs.

Director steps down/from page 1 fully find someone that is going to be here for several years,” he said. Spafford, originally from Spooner, was a self-employed businessman operating two successful insurance companies for over 30 years before his retirement. He operated American Family Insurance for 23 years and Century 21 prior to that for 10 years. “I’m looking forward to trying to help the new person with things that I have done, things that I have started and programs that need to be expanded,” he said. One of those projects is the creative-
concept contest, which offered a $2,500 first-place prize for a business plan that showed the most potential and merit. The only requirement was that the business idea had to be pursued in Washburn County. The response to the contest has impressed WCEDC, already generating economic activity for local businesses. “It’s been an extremely enjoyable job to have. I really truly have enjoyed it, and I hope the board finds a new director that is enthusiastic and will be of benefit to all the programs we have started,” said Spafford.
If the majority of electors votes in favor of the increase, Rossmiller explained the district has to develop a plan for the number of school board members to be elected each year and distribute their length of term in office as evenly as possible, with the existing school board members retaining their terms.

Ojibwe tribes want Madeline Island registered as historic site
Island is sacred home for Bad River, Red Cliff tribes
Danielle Kaeding | WPR News BAYFIELD - Two Ojibwe tribes are seeking to nominate an island on Lake Superior for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, a move that may affect how construction or expansion projects move forward there. Madeline Island is a sacred homeland for the Red Cliff and Bad River bands of Lake Superior Chippewa. The tribes migration story says they were told to travel west until they reached the place where food grows on water.
Army Corps of Engineers archaeologist Brad Johnson said the island won’t receive any cut and dried protections if it’s eligible for listing. “It means Madeline Island would receive additional consideration as an historic property during our permit evaluations,” he said. Red Cliff Tribal Chairman Bryan Bainbridge said the tribes want to preserve their history. “It’s not to make anybody’s life hard to get a project done, but out of respect to what the culture was there and still is there,” said Bainbridge. Johnson said the Army Corps and the state need to agree on whether Madeline Island is eligible for listing on the National Register.

Letters to the editor Vote yes for 11 members The upcoming annual Spooner School Board meeting on Monday, Oct. 19, is a meeting of the electors, a meeting giving us the power of the vote. The Spooner community has successfully petitioned an addition to the agenda, increasing the size of the board from seven to 11. The outcome of this proposal will be voted on at this meeting. At this time it might be appropriate to reflect why many community members feel this is necessary. One only needs to look back at what three of the board members promised to the voters in order to get elected on April 1, 2014. The following statements are verbatim quotes from the March 27, 2014, issue of the
Spooner Advocate. Paul Goellner: “We are working to increase parent and community involvement. I believe I have the ability to reason and discuss issues with others ... and to understand the value of compromise.” John Hedlund: “I am running with an open mind and open ears. Spooner needs someone to seek out and find the best input from both the community and the employed at the schools.” Randy McQuade: “My interest in becoming a school board member is motivated by my desire to unite common goals, promote strong direction and establish opportunities for com-
munity involvement. I believe school board meetings should allow community comment about subjects taken up by the school board at multiple times throughout the meeting. Taxpayers have the right to express their thoughts and become part of district planning. I will search out taxpayer direction to meet expectations they place upon the Spooner School system.” Wow! What has happened? Anyone who has attended any school board meetings in the last six months can reasonably conclude that the current board has done everything possible to stifle public comment and sanction the absolute control over what employees of the
Spooner School system can say or think. I feel betrayed by the empty promises of those elected on April 1, 2014. It is apparent that we need to add additional members to the existing board, members who will listen to legitimate public concerns. The upcoming annual meeting on Oct. 19 will be an important first step in that direction. Please vote yes for 11! Michael T. Miller Spooner
The common good/education The “common good,” we have heard that phrase a few times from Pope Francis recently. The second president of the United States, founding Father John Adams, also used it. He stated: “Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family or class of men…” The dictionary defines common good as the advantage or benefit of all people in society or in a group. The common good is not being honored in the area of education in this state. Most school districts
in our area have lost state aid in various amounts; whereas, taxpayer-funded voucher schools in the southern part of our state have seen their state aid rise. Education in our state is no longer for the common good of all of our children. Public schools are controlled by our local school board. We elect those board members and they are accountable to us. If we do not approve of their actions, we vote them out. Our schools are the centers of our communities and we control them. Voucher schools are private. They are not under local control and are not ac-
countable to those who live in the area. There is no local control because they are a private entity. Once the voucher money has been dispersed to these schools it is theirs. Since 2004, 50-plus voucher schools in the Milwaukee area have closed and we taxpayers have lost $139,671,701. Do you realize that a portion of that money came out of the budgets of the schools in the 75th District? If our schools in the 75th District received just a portion of that money lost, it would ease their situations greatly. When Rep. Romaine Quinn signed the
last budget, was he thinking of the common good of the children in the 75th District? He voted to reduce funding to our local schools and increase funding for taxpayer-funded voucher schools in southern Wisconsin. Quinn voted against the common good of our students. Our children have lost and they are our future. Elections matter. Vote for those supporting local control and the needs of the children of the 75th! Dee M. Taylor Rice Lake

Next Energy Solution opens showroom, business office in Shell Lake Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Since 2008, enough solar-power technologies have been installed in the United States to power the equivalent of 4.3 million average American homes. “It’s a progressive industry and we want to be out there and being pioneers rather than the Johnny-come-latelies,” said Foley Quinn, owner and operator of Next Energy Solution in Shell Lake, which offers ready-to-install solar energy systems. The solar energy systems NES offers consist of the solar panel arrays, their mounting systems, a Wi-Fi-capable inverter with online monitoring and an AC disconnect. “Probably about 80 percent of our sales come from people that install the systems themselves. We show them how to do it, so it’s not like they’re buying a bunch of parts,” said Quinn. NES provides the necessary engineering for their system. They show how to install the system and if there are any questions or concerns, NES will do whatever needs to be done to get
their system up and running. “We want them up and running as quick as possible,” said Quinn. Quinn has lived in Spooner for over 20 years. His wife, Janine, owns and operates the Vitamin Source in Spooner where NES was operating out of until moving to Shell Lake. “Because of the growth, we’ve relocated to Shell Lake now,” said Quinn. In order to meet demand NES needed a place with a warehouse and office space. The former feed mill on the corner of CTH B and Hwy. 63 in the city of Shell Lake fit the business’s needs, with some remodeling work. Quinn added that he still maintains an office in Spooner, but on appointmentonly basis. “What I did was evaluate the market, and the biggest challenge people had was they couldn’t afford solar and what we did is give them a way to actually go solar for about half the price,” he said. Making solar simple and affordable for everyone is Quinn’s goal. That’s why NES also assists customers with paperwork for the

NES customers include locals like Kent and Bernadette Wabrowetz, Shell Lake, who recently had a system installed on their garage roof. NES currently serves residents in four states including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan. — Photo submitted Focus on Energy program that financially rewards Wisconsin residents who lower their energy consumption and costs by making their homes more energy efficient. Quinn figures about 80 percent of NES customers qualify for the Focus on Energy program. The purchase and installation of solar panels also qualify for a 30-percent federal tax credit. “The bottom line comes to the dollars and cents … 90 percent of everybody does it because of the economic benefits,” said Quinn. He just finished the business’s largest job yet, a dairy farm with 559 solar panels that will put out about $4,000 a month in electricity. NES provides more systems for rural and residential clients, with agricultural clients growing. NES customers include locals like Kent and Bernadette Wabrowetz, Shell Lake, who recently had a system installed on their garage roof. NES currently serves residents in four states including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan, with plans to expand to Illinois later this year. Nichole Christman, a Spooner native and Trego resident, works with Quinn as a solar energy consultant. Depending on the job, about nine local people are employed by NES including a bookkeeper, an electrician, an electrical engineer, local laborers and contractors that help on in-
stalls. “There is no maintenance with solar, you do nothing ... every day it produces,” said Quinn. Last year NES installed 70 systems and Quinn reports that he didn’t get one callback for service. “The unique thing about where we live, in the north, these solar panels actually operate more efficiently when they are cold, so the colder you are the more efficient the panels are,” said Quinn. Light reflects off of surfaces, like clouds and snow. These reflections are also absorbed by the panels and are called a double bounce. The solar panels themselves are covered in a layer of dimpled glass that protects the panels and enhances absorption of sunlight. Their construction also makes winter snow buildup a nonissue as the panels shed the snow. “You will notice absolutely nothing in your house. You won’t notice any flickering of lights, no frequency, no buzzing, you cannot tell this,” said Quinn. At nighttime the system goes to sleep because there is no sunlight to create power. That is when the system switches to pull power from the power company. “You will be able to control this with either your Smartphone or your computer,” he added. Owners can also monitor exactly how much power their system is generating throughout the day. “We’re going to be putting working displays on the building so people can come in and see the systems and how they work,” said Quinn. On Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Next Energy Solution will be hosting an open house at the new location in Shell Lake. The open house will include demonstrations, working systems, prizes, drawings, product specials and an opportunity to meet the NES team. Next Energy Solution can be reached at 715-416-3022 or by email at Info@NextEnergySolution.com.

Prescription Drug Take-Back Day coming STATEWIDE — The Wisconsin Department of Justice will coordinate a prescription drug take-back initiative on Saturday, Oct. 17, with municipalities and law enforcement statewide. The Washburn County Sheriff’s Office, 421 Hwy. 63, Shell Lake, will be participating in the take-back drug day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The take-back effort will continue to bring focus to the issue of prescription opiate abuse highlighted by the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Dose of Reality campaign to prevent prescription painkiller abuse. The goal of the take-back day is to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the community about the potential for abuse of these medications. “With the opiate epidemic devastat-
ing families and communities across our state, we must work together to remove unused prescription painkillers from circulation. They need to be collected and destroyed,” Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel said. “This program will also reduce the environmental hazards associated with the improper disposal of unused prescription drugs.” Please check out DoseofRealityWI.gov for more information on the importance of ridding your household of unused prescription medications. Unused or expired medicine should never be flushed or poured down the drain. Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove all of them and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals are showing up in rivers and lakes around the world.
Guidelines: • All waste pharmaceuticals must be generated by a household. No businesses are allowed. • Bring: Prescription, controlled and noncontrolled, and over-the-counter medications, ointments, patches, nonaerosol sprays, creams, vials and pet medications. • Do not bring: Illegal drugs, needles/ sharps, inhalers, aerosol cans, biohazardous materials, anything containing a bodily fluid or blood, personal-care products such as shampoo, soaps, lotions, sunscreen, household hazardous waste such as paint, pesticides, oil, gas or mercury thermometers. • Participants may dispose of solid, nonliquid medication(s) by removing the medication from its container and dispos-
ing of it directly into a disposal box or into a clear sealable plastic bag. Plastic pill containers should not be collected. Blister packages are acceptable without the medications being removed. • Liquids will be accepted during this initiative. However, the liquids, creams and sprays must be in their original packaging and evenly distributed within the boxes of collected solid prescription medications. Liquids without the original packaging will not be accepted. • Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative and should not be placed in collection containers. — from WDJ

Read Me … Read Me Not “All the Light We Cannot See,” by Anthony Doerr Reviewed by Barbara West, Madison
“A
ll the Light We Cannot See,” Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, is the story of a French girl and a German boy, both victims of the mayhem of World War II. As in other novels set during the war, “The Boy in Striped Pajamas” comes to mind, Doerr gives human faces to war. His protagonists, 16-year-old Marie-Laure LeBlanc, who is blind, and 18-year-old Werner Pfennig, must make difficult moral choices. When the Nazis seize Paris, the City of Light, Marie-Laure and her father flee to the country, to the LeBlanc ancestral home in Brittany. M. LeBlanc, a designer of intricate locks, builds a model of the city for his daughter so that she can navigate her world of darkness. He has also secretly smuggled out of the museum where he works, out of Paris, a rare blue diamond sought by the Nazis for its legendary power. When her father is imprisoned by the Nazis, Marie-Laure becomes the jewel’s protector. In a parallel story line, the reader meets Werner Pfennig and
Sponsored by Friends of the Shell Lake Public Library
his sister, Jutta, orphaned when their father is killed in a coal mine accident. In dread of having to descend into the lightless tunnels his father once worked, Werner strives to turn his mechanical and scientific genius into a better future for himself. He enters a military academy whose mission is to train an elite Aryan army for Germany. Unwittingly, Werner trades one hellish vocation for another. The French girl’s and the German boy’s stories converge in St. Malo in 1944. Tension and suspense mount during the Allied bombing of the city, which leaves each of them alone and in the dark. Werner, along with his comrades in arms, is buried in the rubble of a bombed-out hotel. Marie-Laure takes refuge in a hiding place under the floor of her kitchen to escape the bombing and to hide from the archetypically evil Nazi who is searching for the legendary diamond. Werner ultimately delivers Marie-Laure to safety. He, himself, is not so fortunate. “All the Light We Cannot See” is at once epic and intimate. Doerr’s lyrical prose conveys the tender love between father and daughter, brother and sister, as well as the wrenching loss and privation of war. It is a tale of people divided not by borders or nationality but by war itself.

Hats for Haiti
W
hat did the hat say to the scarf? “You hang around, and I’ll go on ahead.” If you are a crafter and you enjoy making hats but have run out of heads to put them on, I have a place for you to donate your handcraft to. Perhaps you have made all the hats your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews need for the time being, but you still enjoy knitting two and purling two. If so, I have a place for you to donate your new hats that need a home. After the Knitting and Crocheting Extravaganza held at Frederic in September, I shared about how the bear project for Haiti had been well received. Area knitters and crocheters created handmade bears that were given to the mission group Love for Lozandier to be given to the children attending the school they sponsor in Lozandier, Haiti. Since completing the bear project, crafters now are asking what the next charity project will be as they are ready to get started with their yarn and needles. The idea of Hats for Haiti was presented. Although people in Haiti don’t necessarily need a warm hat made out of yarn, there are other ways for the Hats for Haiti project to benefit them. Knitters and crocheters may make a hat and drop it off at the Register newspaper office located in Lake Mall. Next fall the hats will be given to the
Love for Lozandier fundraiser. The hats will be sold and the proceeds will be used toward projects that Love for Lozandier is involved in. The money may go toward the clinic or the school. I know it will be used directly for the people of Lozandier, Haiti. All new handcrafted hats will be accepted whether they are for an adult or a child. So here’s a fall and winter challenge for you. Go to your yarn stash, get out your favorite hat pattern, grab your crochet hook or pick up your knitting needles and get clicking away. There are heads that need your hats … and people that need someone to remember them with love and generosity.
Knitters and crocheters are invited to join the Hats for Haiti project. — Photo by Suzanne Johnson

Welcoming an Old Friend
A
lready the summer birds have been flocking together, preparing to leave us. Those remaining are anticipating neighborhood bird feeders and planning their circuit of the best of spots for treats, aware of cold weather ahead. The tips of trees have been frosted with reds and yellows from nature’s paintbrush. The fall of the year has come bearing many gifts. Anticipation seems, to me, to enhance the arrival of this season. We can relax and be comfortable with this season of the year, like our feathered friends, after we have prepared for its arrival. Hello there fall! Come on in! Autumn is the time for gathering the fruits of the summer ahead of the anticipated cold winter months. The apple tree has given us an abundant supply, and our small garden grew a nice crop of potatoes. The raspberry plants are thriving. Next year we will see them expand more. Among my flowers, it is the hollyhocks that have had an excellent year. Their pink and red and white delicate flowers have made this the summer of the hollyhock for me. The reason I moved here after leaving the farm is because of two things: the hollyhocks and the old hitching posts in front of some old houses. A few of the posts still remain and speak of the town’s history, and the hollyhocks are growing right in my yard. Other places may have them, and they all have lilacs, but these tall stalks with their blossoms speak of the past, as well. Green things thrive, yet, but will soon take on their winter garments of brown and gray. Everything green is preparing to go into a long sleep and hibernate like the bears. The plants outdoors on the deck must be brought indoors. I am finding places for
them to rest in the warmth of the house for the season. Flowers brightened our days when they faced the sunshine, and they turned our heads with their pleasing colors and shapes and with their distinctive leaves in many shades of green. This is when we are leaping back an hour to central standard time and trying to accustom our bodies to this change. Living in small towns and in the country, we retired people really can ignore time schedules and let nature take the lead. Those who attend school or go to work must adjust their days. The days are short and the nights are longer, of course. Then comes the shortest day and the days begin to gradually lengthen. For me, time is different in the fall. There are things to attend to that don’t take very long and then I feel free to turn my attention to things I most enjoy. Our neighborhood homes are beginning to display their fall colors. Wreaths and fall flowers are welcoming the season. The favorites are cornstalks, colored leaves, and then come the scarecrows and forms that resemble people. We can admire their unique humor. There are many shapes of squash, colored leaves and pumpkins, now seen in many sizes from the gigantic extraordinary pumpkins that take several people to lift off the ground to tiny miniatures, like fairy pumpkins. This is the busiest time, short of planting time in spring, on the farm. There is no time for sitting down and daydreaming, as I am able to do now. Most of our garden is cleaned up and ready to settle into its winter nap. Next spring I will try to do a better job of controlling those pesky weeds. But for now, it is time for me and the garden to rest. With my small harvest completed, I think about memories of other busy fall seasons in the past.
This is a time of summing up, as well as gathering our produce. It makes me think of the time when I was a child helping my mother and father and, later, my children helping their mother, me. We all love to gather things. Was it just yesterday when my father brought me into the yard and told me to hold a gunnysack? He took the spade and dug under a dry plant in the edge of the garden. He turned over some dirt and, suddenly, there was an eruption of potatoes, large and small, tumbling out of the ground and hanging from the dried roots. “I planted potato peelings here on Good Friday. Look how they grew!” I shook dirt off them and gathered the surprising harvest into the sack. It is a precious memory. Another memory is another day when my father told me, when he had grown very old, that he was suddenly aware of the meaning of the words of the song “September Song.” He had heard it many times but he had found more meaning in the words of the song. Maybe it means more to me now that I have grown older. The song came out in 1938 and later was chosen by ASCP, in 1963, for its all-time Hit Parade during the half century. It is sentimental, but its lyrics are unforgettable. “It’s a long, long time from May to December, But the days grow short when you reach September. When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame, One hasn’t got time for the waiting game. Oh the days dwindle down, To a precious few, September, November. And these few precious days, I’ll spend with you.”

Area news at a glance RICE LAKE — A former Cameron man who allegedly has two wives has been charged with bigamy, which carries a maximum penalty of 2-1/2 years in prison. James M. Burke, 33, Rice Lake, is accused of marrying a woman in Chippewa County on Aug. 12 while still married to another woman in Barron County. A few weeks before the marriage the woman went to her mother and said he’d hit her in the head and she had a lump, stated the criminal complaint. The woman’s young son also reported to his grandmother that his new dad hit him in the head as they stood in the yard. Burke allegedly picked up the child, went into the house and dead-bolted the door. On Sept. 23, Burke’s second wife called her mother and said, “I love you and don’t know how much time I have to talk. I don’t know when he’s coming back.” When her mother asked if she was safe, her daughter began to cry and said she was scared. The woman’s mother then contacted a Barron County Sheriff’s Department detective. It was discovered that Burke was involved in a domestic disturbance involving his first wife in 2013. There were no divorce actions on record. Burke’s first wife told the detective that Burke was very abusive and had frequently punched her in the face and choked her, the complaint stated. She said he refused to give her a divorce and wouldn’t allow her to divorce him, the complaint stated. The detective found that Burke’s criminal history included murder, robbery and probation violation and revocations in Tennessee in 2002-2010. In a second case,
“Tree Stand Murders” author to visit the area SPOONER — Almost everyone over the age of 25 in Wisconsin remembers the incident in the Blue Hills near Rice Lake when one deer hunter shot eight and killed six other hunters, including a young woman. Author David Whitehurst was hunting in the Blue Hills that day. He became aware of the incident that afternoon, and was compelled to write a book. Published in February 2015, “Tree Stand Murders” has received good reviews and rated at 4-1/2 of 5 stars by Amazon. Whitehurst will be attending an author’s event at Northwind Book & Fiber, 205 Walnut St., Spooner, from 6:30- 8 p.m., on Wednesday, Oct. 21. He will offer a PowerPoint presentation about the book, which contains more photographs than could fit into the book. The purpose of the presentation is to frame and provide

context for the book, to talk through many aspects of the story and to answer questions. Books will be available that evening for him to sign if anyone is interested. “Because the shooter was Hmong and the victims were white, much of the media reported this as racial. In actuality, race played a minor role. Cultural differences, private property rights and a personality clash created a gripping drama,” stated Whitehurst. Containing information not previously known to the public, the book illuminates, in easy-to-read story format, the backgrounds of those involved, the anger-filled and heart-wrenching incident, the exemplary trial and answers the critical question: Who shot first? — submitted
Burke is charged with possessing a firearm as a felon. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• CUMBERLAND — Changes are coming to a couple of businesses in Cumberland. The Nelson Hardware store will be closing after 82 years. Owner Paul Nelson will continue to sell floor coverings and bedding from the store after a complete remodeling. Paul’s grandfather started the business in 1933 with $500. After World War II, Paul’s father, “Swede” Nelson joined the family business. In the 1960s, Nelson’s became one of the first True Value stores in the country. Also going through a change is Louie’s Lodge. Erickson Excavating took down the Louie’s Lodge building to clear the site for a new lodge and kitchen and bakery area. They hope to have the remodeling completed and reopened sometime before Christmas. Louie’s Lodge remains open during construction in the building behind Louie’s. — from the Cumberland Advocate ••• MADISON — Last month, 63 people died in traffic crashes on Wisconsin roadways, which was 16 more than September 2014 and seven more than the five-year average for the month of September, according to preliminary statistics from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. As of Sept. 30, a total of 424 people have died in Wisconsin traffic crashes this year, including 68 motorcycle operators, two motorcycle passengers, 40 pedestrians and 13 bicyclists. Traffic deaths through September were 60 more than the same period in 2014 and 11 more than the fiveyear average. “Traffic fatalities so far this year are up by more than 16 percent over last year. However, last year Wisconsin had the lowest number of traffic fatalities since 1943,” says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “This year, we’ve experienced a significant increase in traffic fatalities involving pedestrians and bicyclists. Forty pedestrians have died in crashes this year compared with 29 at the same time last year, and 13 bicyclists have died compared with three in the same period in 2014. To prevent needless deaths, drivers must share the road with pedestrians and bicyclists and watch for them particularly when making turns or lane changes and at intersections. They must yield the right of way to pedestrians in cross walks and at intersections. They also must watch out for bicyclists and leave at least 3 feet of clearance when passing bikes on roadways.” — from WisDOT

The Shell Lake program has six seniors on their roster. These girls have grown up with each other and they took to the court and worked together, pulling out an amazing first-set win. “Each year the game that is designated Senior Night is becoming more and more meaningful for me as their coach. Watching these young ladies blossom through their years of high school, from ages 15-18 is surely a wonderful privilege. They are amazing young women with great things lying ahead of them,” commented head coach Jessica Furchtenicht. The varsity team will surely miss the presence next season of Amanda
and Caitlin Brereton, Amber Anderson, Natalie Smith and Sheri Clark. The night of Senior Night, Laci Green, senior and a major leader of the junior varsity team, stepped up her game and played so well on the varsity court. “Watching these ladies start and finish together was a very exciting and proud moment for me,” said Furchtenicht.

SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake Junior High football team recently wrote a letter of gratitude to their coach, Pat Kraetke, thanking him for taking the time out of his schedule to be their football leader. They listed their personal opinion of Kraetke: “A good coach teaches good sportsmanship. A good coach will respect all of his players and teach them how to respect each other. A good coach will take
extra time with those who need it. A good coach will find the best in each player. A good coach will teach his players how to be a team. A good coach will have patience. A good coach will remember it’s a game, whether they win or lose. “Coach Kraetke, you are all these things. You don’t get caught up in the outcome of the game, but keep your focus on your boys. You think and act positively
not negatively. You understand that adversity is part of the game and life. You are prepared and don’t just show up. You honor the game by showing respect for the rules, opponents, officials and players. You always give thanks to your players for their commitment and effort. “We are truly sad knowing that our football season has ended. You are an outstanding coach, and we can’t thank you
enough for all that you have done. You took boys, and turned them into men! We honor those, and respect those, because you taught us that! If we had just one wish it would be to have you as our head football coach until the end of our school days. “Thank you for the life lessons you have provided us, “Your 2015 football team.”

We’re having beautiful fall days. The sun is shining brightly with a little wind. Leaves around here are falling, so some of the trees are beginning to look bare. Mary and John Marschall and Karen and Ben Holzen spent a week in Door County and I guess it was beautiful. This weekend they visited Brent and Toni Saffert in Cameron. Mavis Flach went to games of her grandchildren last week. She watched Blake, in junior high, play football against Barron, and on Thursday she watched Maddy play volleyball. I guess everyone watched the Packer game on Sunday afternoon as they won. Lillian Ullom had her sister, Louise, up for two days and they visited brother Frank. Salem church served cake and ice cream for all the new members on Sunday after services. Arlys and her sister, Audrey, went to Verndale, Minn., to visit their sister, Avis Paulson. They were happy to see Avis’ daughters, Cindy and Sharon, who were visiting their mom. Happy birthday to Mary White in Cross Plains on Oct. 11. Pastor Sue Odegard met with Salem members at Glenview in the afternoon. We appreciate that. Phillip and Bethany Minot of Woodbury, Minn., visited relatives on Sunday and went to church in Spooner. They enjoyed a potluck dinner there, and afterward they had dessert with Steve and Cheri Minot. Also attending were Curt and Martha Pederson and Daniel of Hudson. Phillip and Bethany came to show off their baby twins, Nora and Langdon, to Grandma Pederson and other relatives. Give a child an inch and he thinks he is a ruler.

Just can’t win. A couple of weeks ago, Jeff Ladd attended an event where he won a gun. According to what I hear, it’s a gun to shoot small game or large game. Saturday I worked at the Washburn County food distribution, Ruby’s Pantry. There were certainly lots of people there and they all got delicious food. If you’re in need of food there are no restrictions regarding your income, etc. If you’re hungry, come and get it. Phyllis Rath called me to report on the great trip she took with her daughter Vanessa. In September, they traveled by train for 44-1/2 hours to Washington state to visit Phyllis’ son, Travis, and family. Phyllis tells us they did a lot of fun things and saw so much. They then left by plane for Montana where Phyllis’ niece, Eve, and her honey, Rich Wall, live and then visited and did a lot of fun and saw so much. Phyllis says they had a wonderful time at her niece’s. She told us Montana has beautiful scenery. All in all, Phyllis tells us they had a great time. She tells us that Wisconsin has the best breathing air. On the way out, Phyllis took some homemade refrigerator pickles, as this is what Travis wanted. On the train they continued to give her ice to keep them cold. Phyllis tells us where her little garden is by her trailer she looked out one day and saw two Easter lily blooms. A great surprise, Phyllis. Wednesday I drove to Eau Claire where

What beautiful fall weather we had over the weekend! Maybe this will be the last that we have temperatures in the 80s for this season. Who knows? Leaves are turning slowly, but they certainly haven’t got those brilliant colors so far this fall. Other years they were so colorful and brilliant. Maybe it has to do with the weather. Those Asian beetles are here again! Yes, I find them in my house and flying all over. I should have sprayed my house like Diane Hulleman does. They come out usually in April or in the spring and they like to drop in my coffee. I see farmers are very busy combining their corn and beans. Kenny Russell isn’t leaving any stones unturned with his corn as he came this last week and got busy. Truckload after truckload of corn went by in semis. Good for you Kenny. This past week we had quite a thunderstorm. Yes, I don’t know how much we got but I think over an inch. I can usually tell how much we get by the big puddles in our yard. Come Nov. 1, turn your clocks back for an hour. It is time to gain an hour of sleep. It takes a while to adjust but just when you think you are OK, we change the clock again. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Joyce Schraufnagel, who passed away. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church in Shell Lake on Oct. 7. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Bill Lindenberg, who passed away at 86. Bill worked for Washburn County and the Extension office. Esther Bernecker worked for him years ago before she was married.

I had an appointment. I also picked up my new glasses, which I like very much. On the way, I watched the crops, which aren’t combined yet. Even the soybeans aren’t combined yet. I did see some corn chopped for silage though. The leaves there are about like ours. Not brilliant but maybe in a couple of weeks they will be. Congratulations to Kim Hotchkiss and Aaron Graves who were married on Oct. 10. Kim is the daughter of Scott and Cheryl Hotchkiss of Dewey Country. Saturday, Noel and Pattie Beaufeaux and sons Kyle and Becca and Mitch and April attended the wedding of Noel’s nephew and his bride in Hinckley, Minn. They came back to Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s rather late and stayed overnight. Sandy said they had planned to put up wood for the Atkinsons on Sunday. This is Becca’s third year that she stays at Jim and Sandy’s on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Becca teaches at St. Joseph’s in Rice Lake. Diane Hulleman tells us she went to give Communion to a friend at church. In the afternoon she went to the Terraceview Nursing Home in Shell Lake. Later in the week she went to Faith in Action in Spooner where she visited with a family. The only thing they ask Diane to do is to come a visit once a week. Thursday, Diane went with the Lakeview ladies from when she was a nurse there, they went to lunch. Diane said they had a great time. Coming to spend the weekend with Diane were her daughter, Colleen, and Chad Jensen and their daughter Izzy. Chad did some hunting while here. Mike Murray, Rice Lake, came during the week to do some hunting. The Jensens also stayed overnight. Sunday at church they didn’t have a sermon. They had singing by everyone including the minister. He asked for songs that were favorites including the little ones and they came forth. The Spooner Methodist Church had a group in singing but they didn’t think they would have enough time to come to Lakeview Methodist Church so they sang in Spooner. Lida Nordquist sold her home recently. Lida now lives in Siren. She wants to get a town house in Frederic and at this time they don’t have anything open. It’s hard to lose a friend no matter where they’re from. We will miss you, Lida. Hear Roger and Sue Mrozak have sold their home here in Dewey Country. They plan to move to Arizona but Sue has a brother living in the area so if they come back for a visit they have a place where they can stay. Talking with Evelyn Melton, she said her children came Saturday and did the outside work and washed windows. She tells us that on Sunday she wasn’t feeling well. I hope you feel better soon, Evelyn. Jody and Sandy Atkinson were at Myrna and Kurt’s on Saturday for lunch and visiting. Sandy’s brother just loved the quilt she had started and Myrna finished. Happy birthday to Sandy Remiter on Oct. 1 and also happy birthday to Jody Atkinson on Oct. 7. Hope you had a great one. Talking with my daughter, Penny Ladd, she tells me her son, Rem, got a big doe Saturday. Jeff takes Rem and Rylee out and
was going to take them this Sunday. This is the youth weekend to hunt. I saw Bill Holden at the food share on Saturday. Bill and his wife are former Dewey Country residents. They built a log home on Bashaw Lake and Bill told me it was so much upkeep he just couldn’t keep up. They sold their beautiful home and bought a new home in Shell Lake. Asking Bill how he liked his new home he said he loves it. Said there is less work to do. Bill works for Ruby’s Pantry. Talking with Butch and Loretta VanSelus, he tells us they went to see Harold Stone who is in a nursing home in Eau Claire. At this time Harold will be on dialysis all the time and they continue to drain fluid buildup. Butch tells us his attitude is so much better and kind of like the old Harold. He now talks, telephones, watches TV and walks around. He wanted to go to Walmart to get things he needed so John and Paula Powell had come to see Harold and took him to run his errands. The Powells were going back to Montana. It’s great to find Harold so much better. Butch went to an Amish farmer and bought 10 chickens this week. They were down by Chetek. Well, he brought them home and they laid eight eggs each day for a while and are now at 10 eggs a day. He says he hates to see them molt. Sonny and Kevin Meister were at Betty and Carl’s on Sunday. Kevin and Betty were chasing those ladybugs with the vacuum cleaner. Richy hasn’t combined his corn yet and is waiting for the combine to come one of these days. This past week he sent a bunch of turkeys to Barron. He says they’re ready to go. On Wednesday, son Richy had Steve Dahlstrom bale big square bales as they stack so nice in the sheds. Well Steve must have started baling and with two outfits they hauled until 1 a.m. They would just haul each load of 12 bales and put them in the white shed and go for more. Well after 1 a.m. Richy was out stacking those bales to after 3 a.m. He’s lucky he got them all baled off the 80 as we got a wonderful rain that night and in the morning. Rich says he has a lot of big bales in his deer shed. It was a wonderful year for the crops and farmers are so happy. I know the corn is yielding very well, too. Sunday evening professor Craig Smith stopped by and we had a great visit. Craig tells us Mary Ann Smith is now a grandma. Yes, her daughter, Emily, had a baby boy June 29. Her mom, Mary Ann, is a former Dewey Country resident. They have named their little boy Mason Cooper. Craig also tells us he is about done with his brother’s estate. It’s taken about 2-1/2 years to get it through the auction, selling the house, and after the lawyers go through they’re isn’t much left. He tells us there was water in his brother’s house, I believe three times, due to broken pipes. Tom Hodgson of Arkansas and his daughter, Jessica, spent a week in El Salvador helping to build homes. The rest of the family was OK. Scatter sunshine. Have a great week!

Sunday, October 18, 2015 Twenty First Sunday After Pentecost eople do not learn from mistakes,” said the professor. The class was confused. Most of them “P had been taught all of their lives that the best way to
learn was from one’s mistakes. As he looked into their puzzled faces, he continued his lecture by asking a question, “How many of you have made the same mistake twice?” Hands went up all over the classroom. “That is precisely my point. If we learned from our mistakes, we would never make the same mistake twice. We seem to learn best when someone provides us feedback. We are not honest enough with ourselves to point out our own mistakes or failures. We do not want to admit them, especially to ourselves, even if we recognize them.” The author of this Psalm recalled two important facts: When the Israelites acknowledged God as their leader and followed him, they were victorious. “Our fathers advised us,” they said, “that it was not our swords or plans that brought victory.” God spoke to them and they realized what brought about their defeat: they trusted in their own strength! It was their defeat that caused them to be open to God’s feedback. When “we pushed back our enemies in your name,” he continued, “we trampled on our foes!” What a testimony to the power and victory that is available to us through our God. Like Israel, we must come to the same conclusion and make the same confession with the same amount of conviction: “In your name, Heavenly Father, we can trample on our foes.” If we have fallen into sin and need forgiveness, if we have failed to witness to those around us who have not experienced God’s saving grace through Christ, if we have failed to do what God expects us to do, with him we can “trample our foes!”

Stone Lake What a beautiful display of colors Mother Nature is extending to us! Hopefully we will be able to enjoy it for a while. Gratitude is extended to Jenna and Joan Rainville and volunteers for their effort in making Stone Lake shine for the Cranberry Festival. A special thank-you goes out to Andy Martin and family for their contribution in providing the cornstalks, which were taken off the field of his dad, Joe, and to Ventures for their volunteers and MarketPlace Foods for providing the mums. On Thursday, Oct. 8, the Stone Lake Community Wetland Park was the scene of the Buckthorn Field Day, a very interesting program put on by DNR representatives Ryan Magana, Val Johnson, John Haack and Lisa Burns. They brought the trailer that contains the invasive species removal tools, and put on a great demonstration of buckthorn control techniques for the attendees. They taught people how to identify buckthorn and demonstrated how you can spray the base of the buckthorn shrub or tree, and because the spray is blue, you can see where you have been and what still needs to be done. They then discussed the equipment, the

safety aspect, and provided information on what chemicals should be used. Craig Baldridge spoke to the group about the efforts that have been going on in the wetland park for several years now, and described the headway being gained in specific areas. Craig has spent a lot of time and effort breaking the wetland park into 12 different areas, and has kept detailed notes on what actions have been taken in each of the areas. Craig is arranging for Steve Lorenz, our buckthorn eradication expert, to spend several more days working in the park before the project is halted for the winter. The Stone Lake Community Wetland Park is very happy to report that efforts to establish a membership of folks who care
Barronett The congregation of Barronett Lutheran met in the church basement on Sunday after worship service for a farewell brunch held in honor of Merl and Shirley Overvig. Shirley, who could have relaxed and acted like a guest of honor, didn’t, of course. Even though their house was pretty disorganized because of the getting-ready-to-move frenzy, she got up early Sunday morning and fixed her calico beans for us one last time. Crazy woman. Of course everyone else brought something delicious to eat too, so there was a lot of good food there. It was good to sit down after church and visit with Merl and Shirley and, I hope, let them know how much we will all miss seeing them every week. They are only moving as far as to River Falls, so it’s not like we’ll have to travel for days for coffee with them, but it just won’t be the same. We all wish them the very best in their new home. Doug and Pat Sweet brought the most beautiful bouquet of bright pink asters for the altar Sunday morning. Thanks, you two. They really brightened things up. We had the most glorious day for a goodbye party. Sunday was probably one of the most beautiful fall days we’ve had for years — and fall days in this neck of the woods are usually pretty nice. The sun was out, it was nice and warm, and the colors this year are just breathtaking. There is nothing about fall that I don’t like, including raking leaves. Actually, at our house we rake the same leaves a lot. The little ones come over and like to jump in the leaf piles, so we just pile them up and let the grandchildren spread them around again. Eventually we’ll bag them up and get rid of them, but for now they
Washburn County Area Humane Society ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK
Most people think kittens come in the spring, They come all year-round, it’s not just a spring thing. Take now just for instance, we have over 10, And when some of those go, we will get more again. That isn’t a problem if you think like me, I know many others who also agree. When getting a kitten, two’s better than one, ‘Cause multiple kittens are so much more fun. They play kitten games, chase each other around, That’s why having at least two is better we’ve found. And when playtime’s over they snuggle up tight, It’s another sign more than one kitten is right. If you’re still not sure we will prove it to you, When you come to adopt one, you might leave with two. Cats for adoption: 12-week-old male white/black shorthair tiger; 5-month-old male orange/white medium-hair tiger; 5-month-old female white/gray mediumhair; 2-year-old female shorthair tortie; 9-week-old medium-hair black/gray tabby; two 8-week-old male shorthair tigers; 4-month-old female black/brown/white shorthair tiger; 4-1/2-month-old male orange/white shorthair tiger; 4-year-old neutered four-paw declawed black shorthair; 1-year-old neutered orange shorthair tiger; 1-1/2-year-old spayed shorthair calico; 3-year-old neutered/declawed black/brown shorthair tiger; 2-year-old female shorthair tiger/calico; 5-year-old neutered white/ gray shorthair; two 6-month-old neutered shorthair black/white tiger; 4-year-old neutered gray/white shorthair and a 3-year-old female shorthair tortie. Dogs for adoption: 4-year-old female tricolored walker hound; 3-year-old female black and tan hound and a 3-year-old neutered hound/pit bull mix.

about what is happening in the wetland park has resulted in 56 memberships in just the first two weeks of the effort. None of us can remember being in any organization that can bring in that many people who care about something in such a short time. A sincere thank-you will be sent to each of those folks later in October, but for now, we hope this big thank-you in the Stone Lake news will suffice. We also extend gratitude to all that purchased the latest book compiled by the Stone Lake Area Historical Society, “Finding Pioneer People and Places in Early Stone Lake.” Our first printing sold out in two weeks and our reorder will be in this week. Please call Connie Schield at 715-865-4940 to reserve a copy for your
family. She will make arrangements to get the book to you either by mail or by local pickup. The book will make a great Christmas gift for Stone Lake family members. Don’t forget to mark Thursday, Nov. 12, on your calendars. There will be a veterans dinner served at noon at the Stone Lake Lions Hall. This meal will be served by our senior citizens. The program will include a tribute to the late Gen. Harold Kissinger. To make your reservation, please call the senior center at 715-8652025 or Betty Helwig at 715-865-5500. Have a wonderful week and enjoy the fall weather. Mary Nilssen can be reached at 715-8654008 or upnorthnils2@gmail.com.
by Judy Pieper will stay in the yard. Grandchildren are way more important than a nice-looking lawn. Have you made plans for Halloween yet? Well, have I got a treat for you. Jay, No. 1 son, is going to be visiting from Missouri, and he will be playing his guitar for the Halloween party at the Hilltop. Yea! It should be a whole lot of fun. Get your costume ready. It’s been about 60 years since I’ve dressed up for Halloween. Maybe I’ll just go as myself and scare everyone. Anyway, mark it on your calendar. Hilltop — Oct. 31 — The place to be. Oh, before you go to the Hilltop that day, bring the kids to Barronett for the Halloween party at the community center. The civic club members always have the most fantastic games, treats, food and prizes for the little ones. I don’t have all the details on that yet, but I will get you times and stuff ahead of time. And, if you’re someone who loves to decorate cakes and stuff, give one of the civic club members a call. They are always looking for more cute treats for the kids. Oak View Adult Family Home is going to have a Halloween party at the Barronett Community Center too, on Friday, Oct. 29. Oak View’s party is for developmentally disabled adults. If you have an adult family member who has special needs, or an adult friend with special needs, please feel free to join us at the party. There will be food, games, face painting and music. The fun starts at 5 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. All guests must be accompanied by a family member or staff. Admission to the party is free, but, of course, donations to help cover the costs are always welcome. Alyse Lehmann, Lynn Thon, Garett and
Kandice Thon and I took Tru, Wrig and Kane to the Burch Farm pumpkin patch last week and had a wonderful time. Of course, little Kane, who is just 6 months old, didn’t participate in any of the activities, but he did smile and laugh at just about everything going on. Tru and Wrig rode on the jumpy horses, played in the corn room, climbed on straw bales to go down the slide, jumped in the two bouncy houses, played in the playhouse, milked a mechanical cow. Man, I could go on and on. It was fun just watching them have fun. We were there a couple or three hours, and they really weren’t ready to leave when we had to go. So, being the great parents and grandparents that we are, we bribed them with junk food. Oh, come on; don’t say you’ve never done that. This Thursday will be the last home game of the season for the Cumberland junior varsity football team. It starts at 6 p.m. at the Cumberland stadium. Come on over and cheer the guys on to (hopefully) victory. Jim Copus was up from Brooklyn this past weekend to get his camper winterized. While he was here, he, Pat Olson, Duane and I went over to Pair O’ Lakes for supper. We were hoping to see the beautiful colors around the lake, but by the time we finally got over there it was dark outside and we couldn’t enjoy the view. We did have a good time anyway, eating, visiting and relaxing. Well, I can’t think of any other news from Barronett this week, so I guess I’d better go. Hope you have a great week. I’ll see you next time.

by Marian Furchtenicht field. Bonnie Helmer, Shell Lake, came Sunday and made a couple of apple pies. Her oven wasn’t working so we did them here and had a nice visit in the meantime. Gloria Frey and her sister, Joann Paulson, Haugen, attended Barron County’s 100-year-old party at the senior citizen building with their mom, Dorothy Foltz, of the Rice Lake Convalescent Center. They said there were six that were 100 years old or older attending, one older than their mom, who is 103. God bless them. They report a nice program and a beautiful dinner being served. Congratulations to 7-month-old Breken Frey, Andy and Emily’s little guy. He was the winner at the youth hunter table at the Whitetails Unlimited banquet recently. He won a youth bow. Way to go kiddo. Dan Washkuhn and his friend, Crystal, stopped by and visited me a bit one morning. They had been fishing on Butternut Lake and stopped at the farm for a bit while going past. They were heading for Big Ripley to try fishing there. So nice to see them. Marion Reiter went with me to Eau Claire for a medical appointment on Thursday. We had a good day together. Mavis Schlapper took me with her and we met her sister, Joyce Wade, at River Street in Spooner for a luscious fish fry on Friday. Brenda Pederson brought her mom, Mary Krantz, out to visit Saturday afternoon as they were out enjoying the beautiful colors.
