NATIONWIDE - Co-op Month has been celebrated annually in October across the United States for more than half a century. Each October, cooperative members reflect on the many benefits of cooperation and take the opportunity to educate others about the value of cooperative businesses. The Register and its sister paper, Inter-County Leader, have the distinction of being the only cooperative-owned weekly newspapers in the United States. Cooperative Network’s 2015 Co-op Month theme, Take Ownership, celebrates how the cooperative business model gives consumers and workers a real stake in their economic destinies.

Because cooperatives are owned and controlled by the people who use or deliver their services, decisions are made with the best interests of co-op members in mind—not to financially benefit corporate stockholders.

Shell Lake woman arrested in police squad-ramming incidents Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — In the early-morning hours on Wednesday, Sept. 30, a Shell Lake woman was arrested in the city of Cornell after causing a disturbance, ramming responding police squads with her vehicle and fleeing.

According to the Cornell Police Department, Racquel Christner, 32, Shell Lake, was causing a disturbance at a convenience store located at 600 Bridge St. in the city of Cornell.

The Cornell Police Department responded at about 1:53 a.m., but Christner refused to listen to officers asking her to exit her vehicle. In-

stead, Christner drove her vehicle into two police squad cars and fled the scene with flat tires.

She was pursued for about two blocks when she lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a house. A Cornell officer stopped directly behind Christner to block her from leaving and then she backed her vehicle into the police squad.

Christner was arrested on several charges including probation violation, felony bail jumping, disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property, resisting arrest and first-offense OWI.

Stephanie Gramberg

Graveside services were held for Stephanie Gramberg on a beautiful fall day, Saturday, Oct. 3.

Police officers, family and friends join Lee Gramberg and his family to pay their last respects to the person who touched their lives in a special way.

Washburn County Sheriff Chaplin Tom Terrill and Sheriff Terry Dryden presided over the memorial services for Stephanie Gramberg. For the last 11 years she has been a dispatcher/jailer for the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department. Terrill said, “It wasn’t about the uniform but the person inside. She felt her work was something bigger than herself.”

One last ride. The Washburn County sheriff, deputies, police officers, firemen and EMT personnel formed the long procession that was lead by the horse-drawn cart with family members.

They were showing their co-worker and friend the respect that she had earned. For Stephanie Gramberg, a lifetime lover of horses, it was one last ride.

Several changes discussed for the Shell Lake School District Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — “There has been a zero increase in per pupil state aid in the next two years and that’s the governor’s biennial budget. What that means for us really is that we have to work on the same resources that we have for the next two years,” said David Bridenhagen, Shell Lake School District’s superintendent, in the state-of-the-district presentation Bridenhagen gave during the Shell Lake School District annual meeting held on Monday, Sept. 28.

Bridenhagen explained that the zero state aid increase over the next two years will be a challenge for the district because utility and transportation costs continue to rise every year.

“The good news is that we are hanging in there, well on it, but that is a concern down the road,” said Bridenhagen.

In the course of the meeting the 2015-16 tax levy was adopted at $3,476,685 with a mill rate of 9.97. Bridenhagen said the district’s mill rate is remaining steady. The 2015-16 mill rate is only slightly above last year’s 9.95 rate and significantly lower than the mill rates of six years prior. See photo of historical mill rates.

“One of the reasons we are keeping our mill rate low is our expenditures this year will be less than they were last year and part of that is last year we purchased two new buses and one vehicle,” said Bridenhagen.

Two other factors impacting the district this year are the district is currently debt free and there was a very slight growth in enrollment.

“Based on our third Friday count, we have fewer students open enrolling out of the district, a few more students open

enrolling in,” said Bridenhagen. In public comment, Paul Crystal, district resident, asked if the increase in students open enrolling into the district from Spooner was negatively impacting the district. Bridenhagen explained that compared to last year there was only one additional student open enrolling from Spooner into Shell Lake.

There are some class space concerns at the elementary school, in the long term.

Laura Stunkel, elementary school principal, reported that there wasn’t team teaching going on this year but that had happened in previous years. Stu Olson, school board president, added that the space concerns were part of the district’s long-range facility planning.

Several changes stemming from statewide policies impacting the district were also discussed.

“We just found out about a week ago that the Badger Exam will be replaced with the Wisconsin Forward Exam,” said Bridenhagen. The Badger Exam was meant to take the place of the WKCE test but the Department of Public Instruction embargoed student results from the Badger test given in the 2014-15 school year.

To counteract the lack of assessment results Bridenhagen explained the district is using district assessments include MAPS testing and ACT scores so the district has some idea of where students are at. The missing Badger Exam results have also lead to no state report cards for 2015-15 school year to be released.

On the positive side, the district has more students taking advanced placement classes than ever before and more students are getting college credits through the AP exam process. In addition all juniors are taking the ACT this year, in

The 2015-16 tax levy was adopted at the Shell Lake School District annual meeting on Monday, Sept. 28. The 2015-16 mill rate of 9.97 is only slightly above last year’s 9.95 rate and significantly lower than the mill rates of six six years prior, see photo of historical mill rates. — Image submitted the past only select juniors took the test.

“By doing that, the first year, we still will maintain above the state average (test scores) in all four areas of the ACT which I think is something that is very impressive,” said Bridenhagen. The ACT test assesses student readiness for college.

Another change for the district is the switch from the Student Achievement Guarantee in Education program to Achievement Gap Reduction. SAGE largely holds schools accountable to maximum class sizes per teacher of no more

than 18:1 or 30:2 in kindergarten through first grade, and second through third grades at the district’s choice. Stunkel helped explain that AGR gives the district more flexibility on the number of students classes can have, until additional teaching assistance is needed.

“I think we need to constantly reassure parents and our teachers that 18 to one is our goal, we’re not going to abuse that, that’s our goal to try to maintain that,” said Stunkel.

WCLRA passes resolution to repeal shoreland zoning changes in ACT 55 WASHBURN COUNTY — On Friday, Sept. 18, Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association passed a resolution urging the immediate repeal of Act 55, Sections 1922D through 1922K, amending Wisconsin Statute 59.692 as it pertains to shoreland zoning. WCLRA joins numerous other organizations, individuals and county boards statewide working to repeal the legislation. Prior to this policy change, counties and communities were able to implement stronger shoreland zoning standards than the state minimums. Counties could address specific conditions unique to particular lakes in order to protect water quality. Before adopting zoning ordinance changes at the local level, there had been opportunity for stakeholder and public input.

The new shoreland zoning policy was passed this spring as part of the Wisconsin state budget bill. Because this action was inserted into the budget bill in the final stages of approval, there was no hearing and little opportunity for public

input on this bill. As it now stands, communities no longer have the ability to address water quality issues specific to their areas in any way that exceeds state minimum shoreland zoning standards. The one-size-fits-all approach removes local control, without stakeholder and public input, and jeopardizes the water quality of our treasured lake resources.

People can find more information on this policy change on wisconsinlakes. org or visit the Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association website, wclra. org. WCLRA strongly urges you to contact your local representatives to express your views on repealing this portion of Act 55. If you live out-of-state but own property in Wisconsin, you have a vested interest in protecting your lakeshore investment. Most legislators will pay attention to a property owner’s views regardless of where their permanent residence is. — from WCLRA

Honoring our school boards

Wisconsin School Board Appreciation Week is Oct. 4-10

STATEWIDE - School board members come from all walks of life – they are your friends and neighbors – and they are tasked with the important work of leading our public schools. Public school boards set a vision for our school districts and provide accountability to their communities.

It is not an easy job. School board members must study, research and discuss complex issues. They vote on multimillion dollar budgets, approve contracts,

hire and evaluate the district administrator, set policy, oversee curriculum and much more.

The duties and responsibilities of school board members require long hours. School board members spend hours every month working to lead and improve our schools in meetings and on committees, advocating for our schools locally and with state and federal lawmakers.

School board members do all of this because they believe in public service and they believe in our young people. They made a commitment to make public education the best it can be for every child with the resources available.

Public education lead by locally elected

school boards is one of the most pure forms of democracy in action. It provides a foundation for all students to reach their potential, and it inspires hope for a new generation and a successful future.

Recent research from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh and the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee found a positive correlation between well-governed Wisconsin school boards and student achievement gains. It’s never been clearer that data-driven, focused school boards make a difference in our children’s lives.

For this and much more, our school board members deserve thanks and recognition for their hard work and for standing up for our students and advo-

cating on behalf of our schools and our communities. I thank them for their dedication and making our students success their priority.

Please join me in thanking your local school board members during Wisconsin School Board Appreciation Week Oct. 4-10. - from WASB Editor’s note: The Wisconsin Association of School Boards is a nonprofit association that provides information and services to Wisconsin school boards in the areas of school law and policymaking, bargaining, legislation and leadership development.

Letters to the editor Smoke alarms save lives If I asked you where your smoke alarms are in your home, could you tell me? If you’re like many people, you may not pay much attention to where smoke alarms have been installed. However, location matters when it comes to smoke alarms.

Smoke alarms should be installed inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

Working smoke alarms are a critical fire-safety tool that can mean the difference between life and death in a home fire. According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association, smoke alarms can cut the chance of dying in a home fire in half. Meanwhile, NFPA data shows that home fires killed 2,755 people in 2013, an average of eight people every day that

year. Many of these deaths could have been prevented with the proper smoke alarm protection.

As a member of the fire service for over 30 years, I’ve seen the devastating effects of fire first-hand; the burn injuries, the loss of homes and possessions are distressing. What’s even worse is witnessing a family’s anguish after a loved one has been killed in a fire. It’s heartbreaking.

As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10, NFPA is promoting Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.

Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!, to better educate the public about the true value of working smoke alarms in the bedroom.

My sincere hope is that all Shell Lake residents will make sure there is working

smoke alarms installed throughout their homes. These simple steps can help make a lifesaving difference, and prevent the potentially life-threatening impact of fire.

Here are additional smoke alarm tips to follow: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

• Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.

• Test alarms each month by pushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are 10 years old or sooner if they do not respond

property.

• Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound and understands what to do when they hear the smoke alarm.

• If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside.

• Go do your outside meeting place.

Call the fire department from outside the home.

Theme of National Newspaper week especially relevant Jack McElroy In 1928, Frank Capra made a silent movie called “The Power of the Press.”

Douglas Fairbanks Jr. played Clem Rogers, an ambitious cub reporter hungry for a scoop. He gets more than he bargained for when his big story implicates the mayor’s daughter, who just happens to be Clem’s girlfriend, in a murder.

In the end, the heroic journalist lands the story and the girl, and exposes political chicanery to boot. The film was selected in 2005 by the United States National Film Registry to be preserved by the Library of Congress because it was “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”

We’re a long way from the age of silent movies, and the power of the press is being greatly affected by the changing media landscape.

“As news coverage democratizes and as producers proliferate, the fabled ‘power of the press’ may diminish,” warned Carl Session Stepp, University of Maryland journalism professor, in a recent article in

evant.

This year is the 75th anniversary of National Newspaper Week. It was created in 1940 by the Newspaper Association Managers as a time to celebrate the newspaper industry.

The week, which this year runs Oct. 4-10, is a chance to remind our communities of what newspapers mean to them, by editorializing about our watchdog role, touting our coverage of local government and politics, and reiterating our commitment to providing reliable community information and public notice.

Of course, maintaining the power of the press doesn’t end with National Newspaper Week. It’s a year-round priority. We all know the power of the press is still a force to be reckoned with across this nation.

State Patrol Law of the Month Motorists will need to share the road with farm equipment and other slow-moving vehicles during harvest season

MADISON — During the fall harvest season, drivers may encounter slowmoving agricultural implements on rural roadways.

“To safely share the road, drivers should slow down immediately whenever they see a fluorescent orange slowmoving vehicle emblem on the rear of a tractor or other piece of equipment,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Lt. Dori Petznick of the Northwest Region-Spooner Post.

“They also must be alert, focused and patient while trying to pass slow-moving vehicles. It’s important that drivers can clearly see what’s ahead of a slow-moving vehicle before they try to pass it.”

To do their part in preventing crashes, farmers and other operators of slowmoving vehicles must follow safety regulations. According to state law, farm tractors, agricultural implements, animal-

drawn vehicles or other vehicles that are normally operated at speeds below 25 miles per hour must display a slow-moving vehicle sign on the left rear of the vehicle. In all cases — even when the vehicle is not a SMV — if it is operated during hours of darkness, the front and rear of the vehicle must have lights illuminated, white to the front, red to the rear. A citation for failure to display a SMV sign or a violation of the lighting requirement each costs $162.70.

Vehicles traveling slower than normal traffic must stay as far to the right side of the roadway as practical. This does not mean slow vehicles must drive on the shoulder of the road, although this is allowed if there is room to do so safely.

“Farmers and others using animaldrawn vehicles on a roadway have the same rights and responsibilities as operators of motor vehicles,” Petznick says.

“You should be careful not to frighten the animals. Do not sound your horn or flash your lights near them, and give the animals plenty of room when passing.”

Petznick adds, “Caution, courtesy and common sense will go a long way to keeping our rural roadways safe during the harvest season.” — from WisSP

Drivers from 18 counties attend regional training and appreciation event HAYWARD — On Friday, Oct. 2, drivers and transportation stakeholders from the 18-county service area of Center for Independent Living for Western Wisconsin and North Country Independent Living participated in a regional driver training and appreciation event

Springbrook Post 10568 plans fall events SPRINGBROOK — The Springbrook VFW Post 10568 has events planned for Saturdays in October.

On Saturday, Oct. 10, an indoor ice-fishing contest will be held from 3-5 p.m.

The post is sponsoring a Sadie Hawkins sock hop with music from the ‘50s and ‘60s with DJ Keith from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17.

held at the LCO Conference Center in Hayward. The training included sensitivity, community resources, HIPAA/confidentiality, road safety, universal precautions, blood-borne pathogens and boundaries.

Since 2008, the program’s drivers have provided over 165,000 rides for people with disabilities and the elderly for shopping, medical, employment and personal business.

The 18-county transportation service area covers 19,219 square miles. The drivers are reimbursed the federal mileage rate for using their own vehicles.

“Even with as many drivers as we see here today, we always need more volunteer drivers to help with our growing ridership,” said Bob Olsgard, mobility manager for North Country, adding that if drivers are interested in volunteering they should contact him at bob@ northcountryil.org or by calling 800924-1220. More information is also available at northcountryil.org.

The event, the biggest of its kind in

the area, was sponsored by CILWW as part of its New Freedom Transportation Program, supported in part federal funding administered through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (49 USC 5310).

This grant and many other community partners including North Country Independent Living, Community Care Connections of Wisconsin and several aging and disability resource centers from the 18-county region support the program. CILWW’s regional mobility manager Denise Larson stated that this event is an activity of the Western Wisconsin Regional Transportation Coordinating Committee’s regional plan to collaborate and coordinate transportation services and activities to help share valuable resources. — from CILWW BELOW: A regional driver training and appreciation event was held at the LCO Conference Center in Hayward on Friday, Oct. 2, with drivers from the 18-county service area attending. — Photo submitted

Correction A Register reader noticed a discrepancy in the Sept. 30 paper. The photo on the front page said an eclipse occurred on a harvest moon, this was true. Under the photo of the harvest moon over Shell Lake on page 23 the cutline stated the harvest moon is the second full moon of the fall. This was incorrect. The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the first day of fall. So it can be either the last full moon of summer or the first full moon of fall, depending on which is closest to the autumnal equinox. — WCR

All proceeds from the SLEF fundraiser are dispersed to district students through grants submitted by staff. — from SLEF

Wisconsin honors the impact of 4-H youth during National 4-H Week, Oct. 4-10

WASHBURN COUNTY — University of Wisconsin - Extension 4-H Youth Development clubs and groups across the state will celebrate the ways 4-H has changed their lives and communities during National 4-H Week, Oct. 4-10.

“4-H has a great reputation even though many people don’t know it’s available in towns, suburbs and large cities across Wisconsin,” says Wisconsin 4-H Youth Development Program Director Dale Leidheiser. “What’s rural about robotics, science, photography and dozens of other activities designed for children no matter where they live?”

Wisconsin 4-H Youth Development

programs provide fun, hands-on learning in a safe, welcoming atmosphere, giving youth the support and space they need to master the necessary skills for future success.

“Children today will have jobs and careers that haven’t yet been invented,” Leidheiser says. “4-H will develop the life skills transferable to any career so they can learn, adapt and thrive whatever the future holds.”

Many 4-H clubs and groups around the state are also participating in the 4-H National Youth Science Day experiment on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Every year, 4-H’ers around the nation practice their critical

thinking and problem-solving skills with a different experiment. This year, young people will explore physics, speed and safety with Motion Commotion, an experiment from Oregon State University Cooperative Extension that uses toy cars to simulate a speeding car collision and distracted driving.

Visit 4h.uwex.edu/ to learn more about Wisconsin 4-H Youth Development, and contact your county UW-Extension educator to explore 4-H opportunities in your area: counties.uwex.edu/. — from UWEXT

National Newspaper Week 2015

A

s you read this, we are in the middle of National Newspaper Week, as Oct. 4-10 is the time set aside to recognize newspapers.

With today’s technology, perhaps you are reading this column on your Kindle Fire, a laptop, your personal computer at home, or on your phone.

For those of you that are reading this column in the tradition newsprint, I am going to share some ideas on how you can reuse your newspaper. When you’ve finished reading the newspaper, don’t throw it away – there are a multitude of uses for this tabloid.

There is a chance that you have already been reusing your newspaper. Perhaps the ideas were passed down from generation to generation. Maybe your grandmother taught you to clean your glass windows using a newspaper rather than a paper towel as the newspaper is more rigid and won’t separate and cause lint.

Soy-based inks are used today and therefore won’t stain as petroleum-based inks did.

Suggestions for using newspaper that I am sharing with you were published in the Nov. 29, 2013, edition of Friends of the Earth.

I’m not including all 40 uses that I read but have picked out some to share.

• Use old papers to line your cabinet, dresser, pantry or bathroom shelves.

It’s cheaper than shop-bought shelf liners, and they’re easy to put in and replace.

• Place sheets of paper in the bottom of your cat’s box. You’ll save on litter, and any odors and wetness will be absorbed.

• Soak newspaper in water, lay the sheets over a warm barbecue grill, close the lid and leave for approximately an hour. Then, simply remove the paper and wipe the grill clean.

• If weeds are a problem in your garden, cover the flower beds with newspaper and soak them with water. Then cover the paper with compost or mulch – eventually the paper will smother the weeds, and the organic matter will help your garden flourish.

• Framed photos make great gifts – even more so if the frame is handmade. Find out how to make a picture frame from newspaper.

• Ensure that your shoes and bags maintain their shape by stuffing them with crumpled newspaper after use.

• Place sheets of newspaper at the bottom of the fruit and vegetable drawer in your fridge. They will absorb any mess from rotten produce, and will also keep the drawer free from odors.

• Put several sheets of newspaper underneath your sleeping bag when you go camping – it will keep your bag dry, free from dirt and grass stains, and will provide a warm padding.

• Lay newspaper underneath a tablecloth on your kitchen or dining room table. It’s an excellent replacement for expensive padding,

and will help protect your table from spills and other damage.

• Crumple up balls of newspaper and stuff them into smelly shoes. Leave overnight and discard – and any odors will have disappeared.

• Wrap birthday gifts with old newspaper. If you have time, you can even cut thin strips to make a bow to top.

• Wrapping apples in old newspaper and storing them somewhere dry will keep them from rotting.

• For clearing up broken glass, first, pick up and dispose of the larger pieces. Then, carefully blot the surrounding area with a few sheets of wet newspaper – the shards of glass will stick to the damp wad.

• Don’t waste paper towels on cleaning up any residue in your oven – mop it up with a few sheets of moistened, crumpled newspaper.

• Use a wad of newspaper to unscrew a hot light bulb and prevent burning your fingers.

• Add moderate amounts of wet, shredded newspaper to your compost heap and give earthworms a tasty treat.

• Use old newspaper as a kneepad when gardening or scrubbing floors.

As we celebrate National Newspaper Week, I thank you for reading the Washburn County Register. Please remember, these suggestions are to be used with newspapers, not your electronic devices.

Yogi Berra has left us

W

e are losing men who fought in World War II every day, and with the death of Yogi Berra, we are also losing one of baseball’s legendary players.

After living in Montclair, N.J., since 1945, and raising three sons, Yogi and his wife, Carmen, moved to a retirement community in New Jersey, where she passed away on March 6, 2014. Yogi also passed away there.

Born in St. Louis May 12, 1925, Lawrence Peter Berra died of natural causes Sept. 22, 2015. Known by his nickname, Yogi, he is an American baseball hero to millions of fans.

He was in the Navy and served on D-Day, at both Omaha Beach and Utah Beach. He was one of six Navy crewmen, a gunner’s mate, who manned a small rocket boat equipped with a machine gun and rockets to take out the enemy. He received several citations for bravery.

As a baseball player he was called “one of the greatest” by the press and he was a favorite of the fans. Whether he was arguing with an umpire, or batting left-handed, or crouched behind the batter, catching, he was always the center of attention in every ballgame he played.

Yogi’s father came to America at age 23 from Milan, Italy. He was married and they

had four boys and three girls. Three other children were born in St. Louis, Mo. Yogi grew up in the Italian community and attended school there, and learned to play baseball early. He became an outstanding pitcher. He signed for the Yankees, after he left the service, and played his first game on Sept. 22, 1946, 21 years after he was born. He was 5 feet 7 inches tall and always had a big grin for the fans and the other team members. When they lost he would sit still and frown, and they say that’s where he got the nickname “Yogi” because Jack Maguire thought he looked like a Hindu yogi. The name stuck. The press picked up on it, and the funny things he said. They could always get Yogi to say something funny for their reports. With Casey Stengel as his manager, they knew where to look to satisfy their readers. This kind of humor added to his renown as a catcher for the New York Yankees, and later with the New York Mets.

The fans might hate the Yankees, but they still loved Yogi Berra.

Yogi Berra was 10 times world champion as a player. He played on 14 American championship teams. He was voted the American League Most Valuable Player three times.

He was manager of the New York Yankees, in 1964. He was manager of the Mets from

1972 until 1975. Then he managed the Yankees from 1984 to 1985. He was a coach, too.

At a ceremony in St. Louis honoring him on Yogi Berra Day, he said, “Thank you for making this day possible.” They put him on the St. Louis Walk of Fame.

Yogi Berra was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972. With co-writers, Yogi did several books about his life and baseball. One has the title “I Really Didn’t Say Everything I Said,” published in 1998. Another is “You Can Observe a Lot by Watching” in 2009.

Yogi said, and the press reported, “Baseball is 90 percent mental and half physical.” Another memorable quote of his was in 1973. The Chicago Cubs trailed by 9-1/2 games in the National League East. The Mets rallied to secure the title in their second to last game.

Yogi said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” That little phrase is often repeated nationwide, by sports fans. When asked if the ball club was going to a certain restaurant, Yogi said, “Nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.”

Casey Stengel once said about Yogi, “He’d fall in a sewer and come out with a gold watch.”

Sarona Fall colors are arriving later than usual it seems. This past week the robins were hopping around in the yard as they were passing through. It’s been beautiful weather, dry and mild, so around our area folks are baling up hay, combining soybeans and they are combining corn for the high-moisture corn on our farm.

I got a fill of LP this past week. It sure is reasonable this year. Less than $1 a gallon with the discount. No need to shiver!

Glad to report LeRoy Sandridge is feeling better and is home after being in a Rice Lake hospital for several days last week with walking pneumonia. Keep him in your prayers for a complete recovery.

Put Virginia Stodola in your prayers.

She was taken by ambulance Wednesday to the hospital in Shell Lake. Her grandson, Matt, reported Sunday night that she is some better. Her daughter, Sue Thornberg, Okmulgee, Okla., Matt and Nathan got up on Saturday to help her celebrate her 95th birthday Sunday. Jim Stodola, Germantown, came up for the day Sunday and son from Onalaska also came.

Hurry and get well, Gin, and hope you are back to your home real soon.

Vivian Bergman went with Gene and Kathy to Dobie Church last Sunday for their Men in Aprons beef dinner. It was very good.

Greg Krantz and Lance Parker were working on the semis Sunday so Ericka and kids went out for lunch. Chane Hutton turned 12 on Saturday, so he and a friend went bowling in Spooner to celebrate.

Willie Lombard got home after a good trip, 18 days in Alaska with his siblings up there. His brother, Andy, from Colorado, and brother-in-law from Oregon did some hunting and visiting. The group bagged four bulls.

Marilyn Zimmerman and her niece, Nicole, attended the homecoming game between Rice Lake and Superior on Friday night. A really good game with Rice Lake pulling out a win in the final minute of play,.

by Marian Furchtenicht Saturday, Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman went to the Cranberry Fest in Stone Lake with sister, Linda, and nieces, Megan and Ashley. There were a lot of people attending and a lot to see. More every year.

It was so thoughtful of Betty Bray Collins, Spooner, to send me a thinking-ofyou card and bookmark cross she had made. Her family lived across the road from mine in Anah while growing up.

Thanks, too, for her nice comment on the news. She looks forward to it each week.

Susan Thornberg, here from Oklahoma, visited Gloria Frey on Saturday afternoon.

Sympathy to the family of our dear Steph Gramberg. She was so loved and will be so dearly missed by all who knew her. Her funeral was held on Saturday at the Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake.

Was saddened to hear of the passing of another nice lady, Joyce Schraufnagel, 80, Shell Lake. Her funeral was Wednesday at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Shell Lake.

She was well-liked and well-known. She worked with her late husband, Dennis, at Lake Insurance Agency in Shell Lake.

Sympathy is extended.

Bill Lindenberger, 86, Spooner, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 29. He was wellknown in the area by many of us as he worked as the Washburn County Extension agent for many years and then sold real estate. His daughter-in-law, son Gary’s wife, is a former Sarona gal, Wanda Pokorney. Sympathy to them.

Marion Reiter and son Mark of Rice Lake went to Midland, Mich., last week to visit her son, Mike, and family there.

Marion’s daughter, Lisa, met them there as she was moving from Syracuse, N.Y., to Rice Lake, so they got her settled in.

Last Tuesday after bowling, Marion Reiter met her classmates, Norma Gillette Henderson, Montana, and Shirley Lauterbach Frye, at Maple Ridge Nursing Home in Spooner at Jackie Henecheck’s for a visit together.

Ann Egstad, Beth Crosby and Larry and Cindy Snowbank were among a busload of area residents who traveled to Nashville, Tenn., with Diamond Tours in September. Ann said that they had a fantastic time. They went to the Grand Ole Opry, of course, that’s the main reason most people visit Nashville. And they toured Opryland and the Johnny Cash Museum. They spent some time downtown where they listened to musicians, who are very good but are not yet household names, play in the local bars. They went to a shopping mall one rainy day. They stopped by Louisville, too, and toured Churchill Downs. Ann told me that the only horses that race at Churchill Downs are the 3-year-olds. Did you know that? I didn’t.

Ann said that one of the most amazing things about the trip was the hotel that they stayed in, Opryland Hotel. After she was describing it, I checked it out on the Internet and, from the pictures they show, she didn’t exaggerate one bit. She told me that there’s a river that flows through the inside of the hotel, and waterfalls and gardens. Guests can even take boat rides on the river.

Check it out. It looks like it would be worth the trip just to go down and tour the hotel.

Ann said that the weather was not the best, rainy, misty and cloudy the entire time until they hit the Wisconsin border on the way home. Hmmm. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. We all know Wisconsin is the best place to be, don’t we?

The Cumberland versus Ladysmith junior varsity football game last Monday evening was very exciting. Two young men from Barronett, Tristen Neitzel and Garrett McClain, are members of the team, and they, along with the rest of the guys, exhibited excellent teamwork and won the game. They only have two more games, Oct. 8 at Barron, and home on Oct. 15 against Bloomer. I’m planning to be there, cheering them on. Oh, one thing I noticed, there are no cheerleaders. What’s going on with that? Are cheerleaders a thing of the past? Maybe I’m just showing my age again.

We didn’t have a whole lot of new business to discuss at the Barronett Lutheran women’s meeting last Thursday evening. We did decide to have a potluck brunch immediately after worship service next Sunday, Oct. 11, in honor of Merl and Shirley Overvig. Merl and Shirley sold their home here in Barronett and will be moving to their new home in River Falls to be closer to family very soon. They have been a very active part of our church and the community for many years, and we are all going to miss seeing them around here. We weren’t wishing them any bad luck, you understand, but we were hoping

Illa These and I were among the throng of people attending the 27th-annual Long Live the Squeezebox performance at Ceska Opera House in Haugen. The accordion and concertina music was great. Lots of polkas and waltzes, they really had us tapping our toes. And, as usual, the Mighty Uff-da Players had us laughing between acts. All of their skits were funny, but I have to tell you about the last one. There are three vampires in a bar, and the waitress comes over to take their order. The first vampire says, “I’ll have a mug of blood.” The second one orders the same thing. The third vampire says, “I’ll have a mug of plasma.” The waitress hollers back to the bartender, “I need two bloods and a blood light.” Corny, but very funny.

Lynn Thon, Duane and I took Tru Lehmann and Wrig Marsh to the Day of the Dozer in Elk River, Minn., on Saturday morning. I think there are five construction companies who donate the use of their heavy equipment and lots of operators who donate their time to give kids rides in dozers, dump trucks, excavators, backhoes, front-end loaders, you get the picture. There were between 25 and 30 machines and, I would guess, about 75 operators there. There were also volunteers selling tickets, helping with games and doing all the rest of the odd jobs that are required when there are a few hundred little kids in one place. The operators looked like they were having a blast taking the kids in their machines, and the little ones were thrilled to be able to move dirt around in those big machines and pretend they were real heavy-equipment operators for a few minutes. Of course Tru and Wrig were able to ride with their uncle, Jerry Marsh, which made the day even more thrilling for them. There were also tunnels made of huge concrete culverts, games to play and toys to play with. All of the money taken in during the event is donated to Children’s Hospitals and Clinics in Minnesota. It’s a great fundraiser and a thrilling day for kids. If you missed it this year, there will be another one next year. I’ll let you know the date ahead of time next fall so you can plan to take the kids, grandkids or the little neighbors.

Best wishes go out to Jamie Hoffman and Chad Lehmann, who were joined in marriage on Saturday, Oct. 3, at the Gables in Turtle Lake. Suzy Lehmann was one of the many attendees, and she told me that everything about the ceremony was perfect. She said that Jamie was, without a doubt, the most beautiful bride she had ever seen.

by Karen Mangelsen and Karen called on Nina and Lawrence Hines.

Byron and Sandy Wickman, and Karen and Hank Mangelsen were among the large group of folks who attended the all-class school reunion in Timberland on Saturday evening. The event was held in the recently remodeled Roosevelt schoolhouse, part of Roosevelt Hills event area.

The annual Fall Fun Fest was held at Lakeview UM Church on Sunday afternoon. Over 80 people attended the event and enjoyed a good meal, hayrides, face painting, apple bobbing, beanbag toss and carriage rides.

Sunday visitors of Roger and Sue Mroszak were daughter Lisa Pederson, granddaughters Amanda and Carli, Carli’s friend Mark, and great-grandson Gavin.

Hank and Karen Mangelsen visited Jake and Grace Mangelsen at their home Sunday afternoon. They wished Jake a happy birthday. April and Dave Close were there to celebrate also.

Jamie is the daughter of Diane and Jeff Hoffman and Chad is the son of Deb and Craig Lehmann. Both sets of parents were there, of course, very proud, and maybe just a little teary at times, to watch Chad and Jamie exchange their vows.

The Lehmann family, including 4-year-old Tru, were sitting in the balcony watching the ceremony, and Tru was absolutely spellbound. For Tru it was like watching a storybook princess marry her prince charming. She listened to the music and watched as Jamie’s dad escorted her down the aisle. When the minister asked, “Who gives this woman in marriage?” Jamie’s dad answered, “Her mother and I do.” Then he turned to Jamie, gave her a kiss, took Chad’s hand, and turned and walked back down the aisle to his seat. Jamie stood beside Chad, and that’s when everyone heard little Tru ask, not in a soft voice, “Why is she switching boyfriends now? Tru’s mom, Alyse, was naturally a little embarrassed, but, think about it, it’s little things like that that make a truly memorable occasion just a little more memorable. Anyway, we all wish Jamie and Chad many, many years of happiness.

John and Nancy Forestall celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary and John’s birthday on Oct. 3 with friends at Tracks Bar and Grill just west of Spooner.

Everyone had a great time eating the food and visiting.

After dinner John and Nancy invited their guests back to their new home in Spooner for homemade German chocolate cake and ice cream. Happy birthday, John, and happy anniversary to both of you. We wish you many more years of wedded bliss.

That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. I hope you have a wonderful week, and I’ll see you next time.

Lakers meet up with tough Pepin/Alma football team

Tough going against the best team in the conference Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake football team went up against the best team in the Lakeland Conference South on Friday, Oct. 2. The undefeated Pepin/Alma Eagles came into town, focused on this game, and easily won 54-6. There was no doubt in the game, as the Eagles scored their first touchdown in the first minute.

It was a 34-0 game after the first quarter. By the end of the game, they had racked up 480 yards total offense to Shell Lake’s 169 yards.

The Pepin/Alma players and Shell Lake players showed great sportsmanship throughout the game, something that doesn’t always happen in a lopsided game. The coaches from both schools showed restraint and sportsmanship in the way they conducted the game.

Pepin School has a Shell Lake connection in that their administrator, Bruce Quinton, is a Shell Lake graduate and was a Laker himself. Pepin/Alma is a football cooperative between two schools; their total enrollment is 137.

The Eagles lost to Owen Withee in the Division 7 championship game and are coming back stronger and better this year.

Shell Lake will be traveling to Clear Lake for their second-to-last game. The Friday, Oct. 9, game will be matchup between the fifth-place Clear Lake, 2-3, and the last-place Shell Lake with a 0-5 conference record.

Clear Lake is coming off a 32-20 win over Frederic.

Clear Lake has won their last two games and will be looking to make it three. Shell Lake’s final game will be Friday, Oct. 16, against Clayton. It will be Shell Lake’s homecoming game.

Cross-country team ready to run CUMBERLAND — The Shell Lake crosscountry team had a beautiful day out on the Cumberland Golf Course on Tuesday, Sept.

29. The weather was perfect for a run, just a bit of a cool feel and the rain and bugs held off.

Cumberland has a high-school-only course that consists of many hills, which makes it fun to watch as parents can stand close to one area and see students running across a ridge, down in to a valley, or up a quick hill.

In the girls competition, there was 75 runners. The boys race saw 77 competitors.

Some great highlights were that Lindsey Martin ran her first race of the season after joining the team. She did great. Meredith Keven also finished her first race of the season as she is hopefully back now after dealing with an injury.

Pink night for Spooner volleyball Larry Samson | Staff writer BLOOMER — The Spooner varsity volleyball team traveled to Bloomer on Thursday, Oct. 1, to play their conference rivals and to raise money for cancer research. The Pink game is a way for local schools to help make a difference with women’s breast cancer awareness. Both teams wore pink jerseys and pink socks. Coach Melissa Smith said after the game that the players were pumped up for the match but lost 3-0. “We had made

some changes to our rotation and even with our excitement we still could not quite play our best games,” Smith said. Spooner lost 6-25, 11-25 and 7-25.

Spooner will travel to Chetek on Saturday, Oct. 10, for the conference tournament. “We hope all will come out for this important Heart O’ North tournament to help support the team.” The second part of the conference tournament will be held on Thursday, Oct. 15, at Spooner.

Youth deer hunt provides great opportunity to introduce young hunters to the outdoors Oct. 10-11 hunt open to youths 10-15 with mentors MADISON – Youth hunters and those interested in mentoring young hunters are reminded to mark their calendars for this year’s Wisconsin youth deer hunt Saturday – Sunday, Oct. 10-11.

The youth hunt allows boys and girls ages 10-15 to hunt with a gun or other legal weapon prior to the regular firearm seasons. The youth hunt is open to all resident and nonresident youth hunters with a gun deer license and appropriate tags.

“This is a great opportunity for families and friends to mentor and train young hunters,” said Keith Warnke, hunting and shooting sports coordinator for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

“The memories made last a lifetime and sharing our conservation history and ethos with our children is a rewarding experience - I know from personal experiences with my own daughters.”

Buck and antlerless deer permit tags included with a junior gun deer license are valid statewide for youth hunters.

All youth hunters must be accompanied by a mentor 18 years of age or older.

Youth ages 12-15 with a hunter education certificate may hunt within visual and voice range of a mentor. When accompanying one or two youths ages 12-15 that have successfully completed hunter education, a mentor is not required to possess a hunter education certificate or a current hunting license.

Hunters ages 10 and 11, as well as those ages 12-15 that have not completed hunter education, may gain hunting experience under the Hunting Mentorship

Program. This program requires a youth to hunt within arm’s reach of a qualified mentor who has completed hunter education and holds a current hunting license.

Only one weapon may be possessed jointly between youth and mentor. Mentors may not hunt using a firearm during the youth deer hunt weekend, and must possess a valid Wisconsin hunting license for the current hunting season. License type does not matter, unless the mentor will be hunting other game.

Hunters of all ages are reminded to follow the four rules of firearm safety: • Treat every gun as if it were loaded; • Always point the muzzle in a safe direction; • Be sure of your target and beyond; and • Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.

To learn more about youth hunting and

general deer season regulations, search the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, for keywords “youth hunt” and “deer” respectively.

First-time hunters and those that have not purchased a license in at least 10 years are eligible for a discounted first-time buyer license. Search keyword “license” for more information.

As in previous years, those new to hunting can celebrate their first harvest with the official first deer certificate. Simply follow the instructions on the page to upload a photo of your first deer and describe your experience. For more information, and to create your own first deer certificate, search keywords first deer.

Sen. Bewley: “It’s time to stop wreaking havoc and do the right thing” MADISON — Wisconsin state Sen. Janet Bewley, D-Delta, released the following statement after joining Citizen Action of Wisconsin and legislators at an event in support of recovering $360 million for taxpayers. Citizen Action collected more than 43,000 signatures in favor of this responsible proposal – the petitions filled a table at the Tuesday, Sept. 29, event.

“The good news is that Gov. Walker’s decision to end his campaign changes the political reality and gives my Republican colleagues the opportunity to undo the damage that was done here at home. The bad news is that there is plenty of damage to undo. Job one is to undo the governor’s decision to leave 360 million Wisconsin dollars in Washington for no reason other than partisan primary politics. That’s why my Democratic colleagues and I wrote to the Senate Majority Leader last week. It’s time to bring these dollars home. Today I am proud to join advocates and people from across the state to drive home the point that it’s time to do the right thing.

“Wisconsin taxpayers were left with

a deep budget hole, damaging and thoughtless cuts to UW campuses and our beloved Extension, and at least 80,000 deserving Wisconsinites were left without BadgerCare. Three Republican states have brought these dollars home this year alone. One of the Republican governors still on the campaign trail correctly points out that this is the money of the people of his state. Walker’s presidential run was never a good enough reason to leave these dollars, and most importantly these families, behind. The 5.8 million Wisconsinites should be able to count on this governor to put Wisconsin’s needs first.

“Today it’s time to stop wreaking havoc and start doing the right thing.” — from the office of Sen. Bewley

Brook trout found within reclaimed cranberry marsh and flowage SPOONER – Tiny trout now swimming in a reclaimed cranberry marsh near Spooner offer proof that habitat restoration efforts produce results, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologists say.

The trout occupy Beaver Brook, the largest class 1 trout stream in Washburn County and home to naturally reproducing populations of brown and brook trout. In 2003, DNR and DOT partnered to purchase property known as Badger Cranberry that holds the small stream as an addition to the DNR-owned Beaver Brook Wildlife Area.

The 541-acre addition to Beaver Brook contained 81 acres of old cranberry marsh and a 65 acre flowage that was historically the upper reaches of the trout stream. In the summer of 2008, removal of the flowage dam and dikes, and draining of the cranberry marshes took place in hope of restoring the trout stream, wetlands and a native plant community.

“Initially, it was believed the area would not be able to sustain trout due to warm water temperatures,” said Craig Roberts, DNR fisheries biologist for Washburn County. “Even though we didn’t think trout could survive in the area, we believed rehabilitation work would increase water quality and benefit downstream trout populations. After several years of monitoring, we were all pleasantly surprised to find that trout appear to be settling in.”

Following dam removal, water temper-

sidered marginal for native brook trout to survive. In 2011, a fish survey showed no trout within the old flowage bed.

Now, seven years after restoration efforts began, two 6-inch brook trout were found in early May of 2015. The survey was the first time trout had been found in that restored section of stream. To confirm the trout were not errant visitors, fisheries staff again surveyed the stream in late summer and found seven additional brook trout.

“The latest survey found trout that ranged from 2.5 to 7.5 inches, suggesting multiple ages of trout are residing in the area,” Roberts said. “The fish were living in 72-degree water at that time, which is considered warm for brook trout. The fish are likely using the large amount of spring activity to survive in the area.”

Though the finding doesn’t mean trout are permanently established there, it is a positive sign to see trout present in the restored area, Roberts said. Ultimately, the expansion of trout into the restored section of Beaver Brook will strengthen the overall population and lead to additional trout fishing opportunities.

To learn more about the cranberry marsh restoration effort, search the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, for Beaver Brook Wildlife Area. Questions about the local fishery can be directed to Craig Roberts at 715-635-4095 or email craig.roberts@ wisconsin.gov. – from dnr.wi.gov

Participation in UW-Madison online courses outstrips national average Parth Shah | WPR News Participation in the University of Wisconsin - Madison’s “massive online open courses” — also known as MOOCs — has skyrocketed to well above the national average following an overhaul of the university’s offerings.

MOOCs are online courses that colleges and universities offer to the public free of charge, many of which garner thousands of users from across the globe. The classes made major headlines a few years ago when they were widely touted as a threat to higher education.

When UW-Madison launched its pilot suite of MOOCs in fall of 2013, nearly 40,000 participants from around the globe enrolled per class. However, while enrollment was high, follow-through was not: The MOOCs only had a 2 percent active participation rate. The majority of those users were from outside the U.S., and only about 1 percent of participants were from Wisconsin.

“We wanted a more active, engaged participant base, even if it meant a smaller participant cohort,” said Lika Balenovich, the lead communicator for UW-Madison’s MOOC program.

The university launched its second phase of MOOC offerings this past January, but this time it took a differ-

ent approach. Whereas courses from the first phase had covered broad topics such as human evolution and globalization, the new courses all focused on one common theme — environmental issues and the Midwest.

In addition to specifying the course offerings, the university hosted face-to-face events in Wisconsin on the course topics.

As a result, there’s been a steep drop in enrollment: The average MOOC size in 2015 amounts to about 8,000 users. Participation, however, has skyrocketed to an average of nearly 57 percent.

MOOCs are generally self-taught. Users watch videos created by the course instructor, complete various assessments and participate in online forums to learn the content. Because MOOCs do not grant college credit, participants generally have different expectations for the amount of information they want from the course.

“Many participants register because it seems like an interesting course or something they would like to do in an ideal situation, but when the practicalities of actually spending the time to do it arise, they simply don’t participate,” said Professor Alan Carroll.

The number of Wisconsinites participating in UW MOOCs also shot up.

Each course is roughly four weeks long. The next course to be offered is focused on forest ecology, and began this week.

Shell Lake Fire Department reminder:

Hear the beep where you sleep every bedroom needs a working fire alarm!

SHELL LAKE — Location matters when it comes to your smoke alarm. That’s the message behind this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!

Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, the Shell Lake Area Fire Department is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10, to remind local residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement.

“In a fire, seconds count,” said Shell Lake Fire Chief Keith Dahlstrom. “Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.”

According to the latest NFPA research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, three out of five fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm messages: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home,

9

$

including the basement.

• Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home.

This way, when one sounds, they all do.

• Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly.

• Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it.

• If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place.

• Call the fire department from outside the home.

The Shell Lake Area Fire Department visited with firstand second-graders at the Shell Lake Primary School on Tuesday, Oct. 6, firefighters did a presentation with firstand second-graders at the Shell Lake Primary School during Fire Prevention Week. On Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31, from 5-8 p.m., fire prevention information and treats will be handed out at the Shell Lake Fire Hall.

Through these educational, family-oriented activities, residents can learn more about the importance of having a working smoke alarm in every bedroom.

Revised Common Lectionary © 1992 by the Consultation on Common Texts for

Sunday, October 11, 2015 Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost hris came home from school with a note describC ing his involvement in a fight with his best friend, Will. They had a major disagreement over whose turn it

was at bat and ended up in the principal’s office.

Embarrassed, his mother was lecturing him about the importance of settling disagreements without fighting. “I want you to be good!” she demanded.

Looking her in the eye he said, “But I don’t want to be good if I can’t have my way! That’s being a sissy!”

Many have an attitude like Chris’. It’s my way or no way. But there was one man who chose to be different. “Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me ... to the place where you dwell.”

The Psalmist was in a difficult situation. He had strayed from God and was well aware of his need for restoration. He had lost his close and personal relationship with God who had been his stronghold. He was struggling in a life filled with darkness. He was well aware that the light that guided him was gone from his life, and he was wandering aimlessly looking for forgiveness and direction. No matter what he possessed or who he knew, there was only one who could help him.

In his heart of hearts he knew that he needed God’s light to be his guiding light and his truth to lead him to his redeemer. Without his light to lead him and his truth to transform and restore him he had no hope. In desperation he asked God to give him his light and his truth that would lead him into his presence and he would once again enjoy his salvation.

This Psalm begins with “O God” - a God who seems far and distant. It ends with “My God” - one who is in his heart.

Stone Lake

by Mary Nilssen

It was a beautiful fall day for the annual Cranberry Festival in Stone Lake on Saturday, Oct. 3. There were close to 35,000 people this year due to our nice weather.

There were 54 entries in our 2015 baking contest this year, 38 from the seniors and 16 from the juniors. If you were a winner and were not there to receive your prize, it will be mailed to you soon.

Junior division winners Cakes and desserts: Hannah Zacharias, first place; Hannah Zacharias, second place; and Sophia Krauff, third place.

Cookies and bars: Hannah Zacharias, first place; Sarah Skagen, second place; Corrine Knight, third place.

Pies: Gwyneth Trude, first place; Hannah Zacharias, second place; Hannah Zacharias, third place.

Breads and muffins: Hannah Zacharias, first place; Hannah Zacharias, second place; there was no third-place entry.

Junior grand prizewinner of $50 was Hannah Zacharias. Congratulations, Hannah!

Senior division winners Cakes and desserts: Chandra Susedik, first place; Ann Keil, second place; Barb Hartz, third place.

Cookies and bars: Brad Berlach, first place; Chandra Susedik, second place; Martha Zacharias, third place.

Pies: Tanya Hofer, first place; Cheryl Lee, second place; Christine Davidson, third place.

Breads and muffins: Lynn Dingle, first place; Brad Betlach, second place; Martha Zacharias, third place.

Senior grand prizewinner of $50 was Brad Betlach. Congratulations, Brad!

Thank you to all for taking the time and talent to enter this year’s contest. You are all winners.

A special thank-you to the wonderful volunteers for their time and talents each year. They are Janet Rowney, Mickey Burke, Jeanne Hornak, Barb Peterson, Jane McAndrews and our one-and-only Dave Langham. You all did a marvelous job and without your great help this would not be a smooth operation as it is every year. See you all next October at Cranfest 2016!

The Stone Lake Community Wetland Park extends gratitude to those folks who came out to the picnic in the park two

weeks ago. The weather was beautiful, there was lots of food, some information on the big buckthorn eradication project and just a general good time was had by all. Thanks also to everyone who has joined the Friends of the Park with their membership donations. You have been very generous and these funds will be crucial to the big job that is being undertaken.

Hopefully, some of you folks will come to the Wetland Park parking lot on Thursday morning, Oct. 8, at 10 a.m., for a great training session on destroying buckthorn. Some of you already know that not only our Wetland Park, but also our town is full of this nasty shrub, and Buckthorn Field Day is a free session aimed at teaching folks how to eradicate it from their own property.

The Stone Lake Museum is now closed for the season. The museum grew larger and more interesting every day this season, and the nearly 150 folks who visited it on Cranberry Fest Saturday really seemed to enjoy it a lot. It opened at 8 a.m. on Saturday, and finally closed at 6:15 p.m. Folks just kept coming. Our guest register showed that 966 people actually signed in this season, and we wonder how many did not sign in. We think we topped 1,000 guests for the first time, this year.

The Stone Lake Area Historical Society extends gratitude to everyone who supported our wine-by-the-glass fundraising effort during the Cranberry Festival, both those who worked in the booth, and those who enjoyed the wine.

The weather was great, and the booth sold out by 2:15 p.m.

The historical society is very pleased to announce that their most recent project, a book titled “Finding The Pioneers and Places in Early Stone Lake,” sold out within two weeks of arriving from the printer, so now those folks who were hoping to purchase them for themselves or give them as Christmas gifts will need to call Connie Schield at 715-865-4940 to place a hold on the book as the next group is printed. We are not sure how soon we can get delivery, but it will be in time for Christmas giving. Thank you for your wonderful support of the projects of our historical society. They try very hard to bring Stone Lake’s history to the community in ways that will preserve it forever.

At least three different families he has lived with in one year, Elijah just wants one forever home; that is quite clear.

He gets along with children and he thinks cats are all right, But dogs he’s just not too sure of, so that could cause a fight.

He is just one big baby, you can see it in his face, And home is the one thing he wants that cannot replaced.

Dogs for adoption: 4-year-old female tricolored walker hound; 3-year-old female black and tan hound and a 3-year-old neutered cocker spaniel mix.

by Pauline Lawrence Our deepest sympathy to the family of Stephanie Gramberg, 40, who passed away this week from cancer.

She leaves behind a son, Austin, a daughter, Dani, and her husband, Lee. Funeral services were held at the Full Gospel Church on Saturday. May the family know you are in our special thoughts and prayers.

On Wednesday, Duane Johnson combined the soybeans across from my house. He finished on Thursday. That field of beans was one of the nicest crop of beans that I saw. I hope you got a good yield, Duane.

Sept. 30, we got a great frost. Yes, Old Jack Frost came a creeping throughout the countryside and sprinkled frost I do believe it has froze very nice since and this week it will be chilly again.

Those coyotes are howling. Yes, they’re across Lakeview Church Road and every night they certainly haven’t lost their voices. The other night they were a howling and I opened the patio door and hollered out “Hey you out there, don’t you ever sleep? Go home and sleep.” You know it was very quiet when I yelled out. Maybe they were listening.

Nov. 1 it’s time to set those clocks back one hour. I wish they would leave out clocks alone.

Leaves are continuing to turn colors. I see by Shell Lake they’re really turning. I see wild geese are flying. It’s that time of year. They wave their wings as if they are saying, “We’re here. We’re here.”

My cat, Fazz, is a spazz! Yes, she’s on the go all the time and she instigates fighting. She isn’t mean but always picks on the dogs. She looks like she want to fight. This past week, Rory was running around the coffee table with Ram right after him. They went in the dining room, around the table and all of a sudden, Ram must have looked back and here was the cat! I tell you he just about died from the expression on the face and he just flew up by me. It was so funny it might have made the “Funniest Home Videos.”

It’s time for Evelyn Melton. Yes, next weekend, Robin Melton will be home at Evelyn’s plus the cleaning crew.

Evelyn tells us the kids will do the yard work, wash windows, etc. It’s a nice job to get done, isn’t it?

Our deepest sympathy to Lisa and Amy Mangelsen on the death of their mother, Rose Mangelsen.

Gary and Beth Crosby enjoyed going to Branson, Mo. This past week, Beth went on a trip to Nashville, telling us she enjoyed it. The Crosby brothers, Shorty and Tom, are building a dry cow barn and a heifer barn. Beth says it’s to be 192 feet long, a big building. It’s to be separate from the cow barn.

Karen Knoop is doing about the same.

Diane Hulleman went to Nashville with a busload of others. While there they saw the Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry and much more. They came home Saturday evening. On Saturday, Steve Hulleman, Mike and Nancy Murray, Mike and Sonja and son Charles, Jackie, Ryan and Mark Perlt, Nicole and son Jameson and Chris Hulleman and son Lucas and friend were at Diane’s and

A day in the woods

TIMES Jessica Haynes is doing a core-sample drilling on this red pine. The core sample will tell the age of the tree.

Photos by Larry Samson

The Shell Lake fourth-grade students spent the day in the woods at the Great Lakes Load Of Logs For Kids held Friday, Oct. 2, outside of Hayward on county land. The educational event helps to educate the students on large and small logging operations. At this event, the students were learning how some small horse loggers still make a living in the woods. The advantage of horse logging is that it causes less damage in the woods and they are able to log the smaller patches of woods.

Max Erickson, a fourth-generation logger, is explaining how harvesters and forwarders have replaced chain saws and skidders. Erickson, a Minong logger, employs 37 employees.

The Shell Lake students were fascinated by the saw that processed logs into lumber. For many of the students this was the first time they saw how lumber is made.

National musical acts coming to The Potter’s Shed

SHELL LAKE — The Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake will present two national musical acts this month. Heather Maloney will bring her new album tour on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. Maloney is a singer-songwriter who has received numerous accolades for her startlingly soulful voice and literate songs exploring themes of spirituality, transformation and impermanence. Critics are quickly discovering Maloney’s talent with SPIN calling her voice “stunning, breathy … starkly memorable,” and Blurt Magazine writing that, “Heather Maloney is one of the most talented tradition-based singer-songwriters I have heard in some time … the writing is stunning.”

Her latest output, “Making Me Break,” was released this spring on Signature Sounds. Working with Grammynominated producer Bill Reynolds (Band of Horses, Avett Brothers), the two crafted and delivered on an artistic vision to merge Maloney’s folk roots with indie rock. The Sydney Morning Herald writes, “Maloney delivers with satisfying insight and craftsmanship,” with The Bluegrass Situation raving that “Making Me Break,” her third album, is an intoxicating blend that captures the sonic texture of indie rock and the humanity of folk.

On Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m., Patchy Sanders, an Oregon-based family folk orchestra, will dish up their own brand of American music. The sextet has made the rounds to major folk festivals around the country and is now on a national tour at smaller venues. They have a new take on an old-time sound with inventive song structures, a great full sound and an infectious energy that gets everyone involved. Their sound is described as “four-part harmonies and all the stompin’ and clappin’ you could ever want.” Their music fits as well in an acoustic art house as it does in a farmhouse hootenanny hoedown or on a main-stage pop festival.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Mason Jennings describes the band this way: “Great musicianship, harmonies, and feel. A really warm vibe that makes you feel like you’re standing in the center of a Gypsy caravan.”

Both concerts will be on their indoor cafe stage. Doors open at 6 p.m. for pizza and drinks. Tickets are available at the Potter’s Shed gallery in Shell Lake, on their website or at the door. Call 715-468-4122 for more information or visit their website, ThePottersShed.com.
