Athletic procedure questioned Spooner School Board hears public comment Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER – During the president’s report Robert Hoellen, Spooner School Board president, addressed the larger than usual school board meeting audience on Monday, Oct. 6, to clarify issues regarding athletic procedure changes. “Students are still able to attend athletic events they do not participate in, just like they always have,” said Hoellen. Hoellen explained that the major modifications in athletic changes included limiting the expense to the district for students and coaches to attend events where student athletes are not direct participants, requiring coaches to ride buses with students to events and to obtain district authorization to attend events. No financial limit would be placed on events where fundraising had taken place in order for student athletes to attend. It was also clarified that guardians can always, as before, excuse their student from school as necessary. Hoellen stated that the correct procedure for addressing questions on school procedures was not taken in this instance and that in the future
if staff had questions or needed clarification on school policy or procedure to address those with administrators. “I tried to utilize staff to do the respectful thing in this situation, I am thankful that it has changed and that we can bring the kids there but we have never, ever been able to take kids out …without administration or parent approval,” said Andrew Melton. Melton is the Spooner High School wrestling coach and attempted to explain to the board how he had spoken to two administrators about the changes. During his public comment he was interrupted by Hoellen and was asked to not speak because Hoellen said Melton was trying to charge individuals. The board meeting periodically erupted with loud comments made by audience members present, upset at how Melton was not being heard. Melton was able to finish making his comments, closing with an apology for statements and comments that were made on social media about the issue. Six other individuals came forward during the public comment period regarding the athletic procedure changes, items were discussed in closed session and there was recognition of student academic achievements.
Same-sex marriage now legal
Find us on Facebook facebook.com/ washburncountyregister
Tim Morrissey | Public News Service - WI MADISON – Same-sex marriage is now legal in Wisconsin, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to hear an appeal from Wisconsin and four other states on the issue. County clerks in several Wisconsin counties began issuing same-sex marriage licenses immediately after the decision was announced Monday. Scot Ross, executive director of the progressive advocacy group One Wisconsin Now, calls the Supreme Court’s decision “significant.” “The decision is a definite rejection of some of the divisive politics of Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, who fought
so hard to deny same-sex couples their equal chance at marriage here in the state of Wisconsin,” says Ross. Walker and Van Hollen had argued same-sex marriage would undermine the moral fabric of the state, and was contrary to the “tradition” of marriage in Wisconsin. With Monday’s decision, Ross sees a clear signal that a majority of Supreme Court justices did not want to overturn lower court decisions that have ruled state prohibitions against same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. Ross also noted the Supreme Court’s decision See Same-sex marriage, page 3

County, region commemorates the service of one for many Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — “I never did go to work. When you enjoy something you’re doing it’s not work,” said Carl Krantz, to the appreciation of friends and colleagues assembled for his retirement party on Thursday, Oct 2. Krantz has assisted local veterans through the Washburn County Veterans Service Office for over 24 years. Regional CVSOs and their staff made the trip from neighboring counties including Burnett, Polk, Pierce and Winnebago, alongside Washburn County staff, veterans and family. There was food, shared memories and an appreciation ceremony wherein Krantz received four plaques and a handmade quilt, each given to recognize his service to the region, county, local veterans and his country. “It’s a real rewarding job because it’s given me the opportunity to speak into people’s lives. Encourage them and make them aware of benefits that they not only deserve but oftentimes that they actually really need,” said Krantz. Krantz began working for Washburn County in 1990. Since then achievements accomplished under his leadership include the building and opening of the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Cemetery and the Washburn County Veterans Peace Memorial Wayside, both located off of Hwy. 53 south of Spooner. Other accomplishments include hosting the Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall, organization of the Berlin Crisis ceremony and the Washburn County United County Commanders group. All veterans service officers are re-

Five months later he was in country, serving with the Army Engineers for 18 months with one six-month extension. “We pretty much did a lot of roads and I did some landing zones for Special Forces. We would get jobbed out to them once in a while,” he said, pointing to an

Seven guiding principles for operation of cooperatives October is National Co-op Month; Register is cooperative-owned BURNETT/POLK COUNTIES - Each October, millions of co-op members across the United States observe National Co-op Month to celebrate cooperatives and what makes the co-op business model unique - local control, a commitment to serving the community and returning margins to members and employees. The Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, publisher of the InterCounty Leader and Washburn County Register newspapers - the only cooperative-owned weekly newspapers in the nation - and the Advertisers, joins with the other local cooperatives, approximately 600 in this state and 29,000 nationwide, in celebrating the advantages of cooperative membership, recognizing the benefits and values co-ops bring to their members and
communities. Cooperatives are guided by seven principles. Originally drawn up by Charles Howarth, one of 28 weavers and other artisans who founded the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers in Rochdale, England, on Dec. 21, 1844, these principles governing cooperative operations were introduced into the United States in 1874 by the National Grange, and formally written down by the International Cooperative Alliance in 1937. They are: 1. Voluntary and open membership 2. Democratic member control 3. Members’ economic participation 4. Autonomy and independence 5. Education, training and information 6. Cooperation among cooperatives 7. Concern for community The Register will be highlighting the benefits of cooperatives throughout the month of October. - Gary King

But he holds no regrets now, as that service led him to the service of assisting other veterans. The services offered through CVSO are offered at no cost to all veterans because the CVSOs are a department of county government and have been since 1945 when state lawmak-
ers made it mandatory for all counties to have a CVSO to assist their veterans. “Right now we’ve probably got 1,900 active files and probably the latest census would show that there’s 1,700 veterans in the county but that doesn’t take in the widows of veterans that we’re still serving,” he said. CVSO also assists the widows and dependents of veterans. Since 1990 the office has seen a $13.8 million increase in the amount of yearly Veterans Affairs benefits to Washburn County veterans. “Probably one of the things that I have seen decline since I’ve come into this position is the communications with the VA in the sense of the depersonalization of the VA, the federal VA as a whole,” he said. Modernization of how claims are initiated, processed and paid out has changed with technology to the detriment of veterans. However, with the computerization they now have better access to records than before. Krantz explained that CVSOs are now more proactive in assisting veterans with their needs from making phone calls to the VA or medical appointments to compensate for their impersonal management practices. “Over the years, 24 years, you build a lot of relationships with people and you know you’re going to miss those … but time goes on and you develop other things that you become active in,” he said. Krantz is also active in Washburn County veterans organizations including the American Legion, the VFW and AMVETS.

Same-sex marriages/from page 1 not to hear appeals from Wisconsin and other states illustrates the public’s changing attitudes toward same-sex unions. In 2006, 59 percent of Wisconsin voters approved a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman, excluding same-sex couples. Organizations like One Wisconsin Now have fought for marriage equality for some time, but Ross defers credit for the Supreme Court’s decision. “There have been people fighting across the state of Wisconsin for this issue longer and harder than we ever have,” he says. “They’re the ones who really deserve the
kudos and the celebration, for the simple fact that people are treated equal under the law and there’s not compelling state interest or national interest to deny loving same-sex couples their chance at marriage.” Editor’s note: Lolita Olson, Washburn County Clerk, said they haven’t gotten any calls about same-sex marriage licenses and that “We will be issuing (licenses) according to law but we haven’t had any requests.”
Well water in Ethiopia, chili for supper
SHELL LAKE — Last summer Dolly Holmson, Shell Lake, came back from a three-week trip to Ethiopia with a desire to build a well. Her trip put faces to the clean water crisis and the information necessary to do something about it. The Salem Lutheran Church, inspired by Holmson’s reports on conditions, made the project to fund a well in Ethiopia a congregational mission. On Tuesday, Oct. 14, Salem Lutheran Church in Shell Lake is hosting a chili supper from 4 to 6 p.m. to help raise some of the $5,000 that is needed to build a well. The church hopes to raise the funds in one year. The clean well water projects are organized through the faith-based nonprofit Water to Thrive, which since its inception in 2008 has funded more than 500 water projects in Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Tanza-

Letters to the editor
Walker is doing the right thing In recent letters to the editor, both Susan Hansen and Rep. Stephen Smith have bemoaned Gov. Walker’s attempt to expand voucher payments to more students across the state. Actually, Walker should be praised for his efforts to expand the voucher program because it gives more students from poor families the opportunity to escape the nonperforming schools they are forced to attend and to enroll in a school that will give them a better education. Milwaukee Public Schools are just terrible. Right now roughly 70,000 students are enrolled in Milwaukee Public Schools and about 35,000 students attend a school outside the public school system. Of
these outside the public school system about 25,000 students from low-income families take advantage of a $6,442 scholarship offered by the state. This means that the state is educating the students in the choice program for less than half of what it costs it to educate a student in the public schools. According to the state’s School Report Card, just 16 percent of Milwaukee Public School’s fourth-graders are proficient in reading. The National Assessment of Educational Progress test indicates that only 4 percent of the district’s eighth-graders can do math at an acceptable level. About 62 percent of high school students graduate in four years.
When was the last time you tested the smoke alarms in your home? Was it last week? Last month? A year ago? If you’re like many people, you may not even remember. Smoke alarms have become such a common feature of U.S. households that they’re often taken for granted, and aren’t tested and maintained as they should. However, 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 more than 2,300 people in 2012; 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 firsthand; 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. 5-11, NFPA is promoting Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month! to better educate the public about the true value of working
At St. Marcus, a private Lutheran school in the choice program, 90 percent of its students are from low-income families, but 91 percent of the students graduate in four years or less. Ms. Hansen and Mr. Smith keep referring to the private choice schools as unaccountable. It is really the public schools that are unaccountable. If the choice schools do a bad job, they are kicked out of the choice program. Besides that, parents will choose not to send their kids to a school that is failing. If the public schools do a poor job of educating, which many do, they continue in existence with students that are forced to attend them. In Ms. Hansen’s letter there is the im-
plication that the reduced state funding to public schools across the state is mainly due to funds going to the voucher program. This is not so. The decreased funding for school is mainly due to lower appropriations to fund all schools across the state. Having more students in the choice program should help the state balance its budget and provide a better education for more students that are currently being poorly served. Walker is doing the right thing giving the citizens power and taking it from the unions. The governor deserves re-election. James Lewis Shell Lake
Smoke alarms save lives smoke alarms. My sincere hope is that all Shell Lake residents make sure there are 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 properly. • Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound and understands what to do when they hear the smoke alarm.

By the numbers Recently, the local media and a few individuals have expressed concern or asked questions about the number of retirements and resignations in the Spooner Area School District. I offer this letter for the purpose of providing factual information to you. The data represents the information recorded by the school district. 2011 2012 2013 2014 Number of licensed staff departing SASD 18 6 6 16
Number of licensed staff departing other districts our size (comparables) 7-9 5-16 5-9 9-19 Through informal exit interviews, letters of resignation or other information, the district’s data shows the following reasons for leaving employment with the Spooner Area School District: • Promotional career advancement • Chose not to work full time • Lateral move to another district • Acquire a position outside of K-12
education • Moved out of state • Retired • Board approved sabbatical There are statistics that show mobility in education has increased in the past few years. We need to be mindful of that so we can recruit and retain the best and the brightest. I believe we need to embrace new ideas, opportunities for changes and support the many dedicated professionals who serve our students. We need to
honor both currently employed staff and those that have left the district, as people that care about our community’s best interests. As we move forward, we will be dedicated to a continuous improvement process in order to stay progressive and offer the best possible opportunities to our staff and students. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Michelle Schwab, superintendent Spooner Area School District
Defining the Democratic Party? The prejudices and ignorance of a recent author defining the Democratic Party is obvious. President Barrack Hussain Obama has twice been elected by the people of Wisconsin, he is our chosen candidate twice. I’ll define the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party believes health-care decisions should be made between you and your doctor, not lawmakers. The Democratic Party believes in funding safe and effective contraception programs, preventing unwanted pregnancy and reducing the need for abortions. As the gap between the rich and poor widens, Democrats believe in a livable
minimum wage and are against Wisconsin becoming a Right to Work State as adopted by the Republican Party this past summer. The Democratic Party believes diverting almost $10,000 per student from public schools to private or religious charter schools hurts public education and interferes with the separation of church and state. The Democratic Party agrees with the 78 percent of Americans that feel gay couples can be “just as good parents” as straight couples. The Democratic Party also agrees with the 81 percent of people that businesses should not be allowed to
refuse service to gays and lesbians. The Democratic Party believes that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Of course businesses like Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-A can make political statements placing one set of religious beliefs above another. They may profit greatly by those who agree, or sustain damage from those who disagree with their views. It’s no different here in Washburn County. Unlike at this year’s Republican convention, there was no discussion at the Democrat convention for Wisconsin to secede from the union. The Democratic
Party loves this great state and believes the democratic process works. The Republican Party currently controls the governor, Senate, and Assembly in Wisconsin. Our state is dead last in job and economic growth in the Midwest. The Tea Party has taken over the Republican Party in Wisconsin. Their experiment is not working. It’s time to vote for Democratic candidates on Nov. 4 and move Wisconsin forward. Paul Johnson, chair Democratic Party of Washburn County
Vote for Smith on Nov. 4 What is the backbone of our communities in rural Northwest Wisconsin? The answer to that is our public schools. Every community fights to keep their public schools. Our assemblyman, Stephen Smith, has fought to preserve adequate funding for public education, so our students will be prepared to enter the workforce and earn a living wage. Smith voted to invest more in public education and against sending more taxpayer money to unaccountable voucher schools hundreds of miles away.
It has been claimed by Rep. Smith’s opponent that the expansion of taxpayerfunded private vouchers has had no impact on the 75th District. This is blatantly and completely false. There is not enough money to spend more on vouchers, charter schools and provide adequate funding for our public schools. There just isn’t enough money to fund two school systems. It boils down to this, when we send our hard-earned money to pay for unaccountable voucher schools anywhere in the state, it means that there will be
What have the Democrats done for America? Given us the worst and most anti-American president in the history of America. Obama releases five hard-core terrorists for a soldier who may be a traitor, while leaving a Marine with PTSD in a filthy Mexican prison because there are no terrorists for him to release. Obama calls ISIS the JV team.
Obama sends American troops to Africa to build treatment centers but doesn’t stop all airline travel from Africa. Who knows how many people in America are going to end up with Ebola? Obama won’t secure our borders so that all the illegal immigrants can walk right in. It doesn’t matter to Obama how many of these illegals are murderers and rapists.
fewer resources for our public schools in rural Northwest Wisconsin. Gov. Scott Walker has proposed expanding vouchers statewide. That is a death knell for public schools. Total privatization would eventually mean that everyone would not be educated. Are the communities in the 75th District ready for that? The choice is clear, vote for an experienced individual with a proven track record who is ready to work in a bipartisan way and who will stand up for pub-
lic schools and local communities. That person is Rep. Stephen Smith. The other candidate wants to take resources away from our schools and would put partisan politics before people. Do you want to save public schools and guarantee an education for all of our children? Do you want to restore fiscal stability for Wisconsin public schools? Let us do the right thing for our children and vote for Smith on Nov. 4. Dee M. Taylor Rice Lake
What have the Democrats done for America?

Obama spends billions on illegals while not caring about homeless Americans and our veterans who are homeless. Obama uses political correctness to harass anyone who doesn’t agree with him.

Plan now to ID as a vet before Veterans Day
Driver’s license or ID card shows red identifier, call VA first
MADISON — Next month when we celebrate Veterans Day, Nov. 11, former servicemen and servicewomen will want to be recognized. They can be ready to identify themselves and their service to this country by a red VETERAN identifier on a Wisconsin driver’s license or state identification card from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles. Veterans should plan now to first verify their eligibility status through the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs before going either online or to any DMV
service center to get a replacement driver’s license or ID. Many organizations and businesses offer benefits or discounts to veterans, and this is a way for veterans to quickly identify themselves to these organizations and businesses without having to carry confidential personal information. This driver’s license or ID also serves as photo ID to vote. “Once a veteran has verified eligibility, DMV is then able to issue a driver license or ID card with the veteran identifier. We can’t stress enough the importance of first contacting the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs. If a veteran is not verified by the WDVA as eligible for this veteran
identifier, DMV staff are unable to issue a driver license or ID card that carries it,” said Alison Lebwohl, DMV driver qualification chief. To verify eligibility, veterans should call 800-WIS-VETS (947-8387). Those who have already met the criteria for the definition of Wisconsin veteran will be told they may go online or into a DMV customer service center and get an updated driver’s license card or identification card. Wisconsin veterans who have not yet contacted the WDVA to verify their eligibility status for the veteran identifier may apply for verification using an expedited online form at the WDVA website WisVets.com or they may download a form from WisVets.com
and mail it to the WDVA. “Our systems will show that they are registered with the WDVA. All they need to bring with them to a DMV service center is proof of identity, such as current driver license or ID card,” said Lebwohl. “It’s simple: Verify, then apply.” The website wisconsindmv.gov is the official state DMV website. Others ending in “.org” or “.com” are not official and may have extra charges for forms or list information that is dated or incorrect. In addition to the expanding services on its website, WisDOT connects with customers on Facebook at facebook.com/ WisDOT and Twitter #WisDOT at twitter. com/WisconsinDOT. — from WisDOT
Friends of the Shell Lake Public Library to host guest author SHELL LAKE — Friends of the Shell Lake Public Library will be hosting guest author Jeff Miller at the library on Monday, Oct. 20, from 6-7:30 p.m. Miller was born in Browerville, Minn. He spent years as an international lawyer in New York, Hong Kong and London. Since 2005 he has lived in Hayward
where he operates West’s Hayward Dairy and McCormick House Inn. Miller’s book, “Scoop: Notes from a Small Ice Cream Shop,” is the chronicle of Miller’s and his partner Dean’s first year in Hayward — how they are welcomed by a collection of colorful characters and how they are humbled by the challenges of op-
erating both the ice-cream shop and a bed and breakfast. It is also a story of Hayward and how the traditions and the stories of those who built the town helped entrepreneurs adjust to the rhythm of life in their new home. Signed books and samples of West’s Hayward Dairy ice cream will be avail-
able after the discussion. The event is free of charge and all are welcome. For more information, please contact the Shell Lake Public Library at 715-468-2074. — from SLPL

and an inoperable snowmobile. Due to a land swap between the college and Rice Lake Weighing Systems, a chunk of the RLNA trails will be no more. To keep the association going, the RLNA needs executive board members, grooming volunteers and at least $6,000 for a new snowmobile, according to the association’s president, Dave Putnam. A lack of a wind shelter also causes drifting over groomed trails. Still, the volunteers maintained the trails well into March of last year. “I groomed more than I skied last year,” said Putnam. “Very seldom was I there when someone wasn’t using the trail.” Despite the regular use, donations didn’t cover the cost of snowmobile repairs, maintenance and liability insurance. “There’s a lot of people who think the funds come from Barron County or the city, but it has all been volunteers,” said Bjorn Hanson, co-owner of the Out There ski shop in downtown Rice Lake. An upcoming meeting will determine the association’s future, said Putnam. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• RICE LAKE — As of Oct. 1, the Rice Lake Area Free Clinic will be open every
Tuesday night for care of patients that are uninsured or underinsured. With the Affordable Care Act, some patients continue to have difficulty with the large deductibles and/or the cost of their multiple medications. There is a financial assessment that determines whether a patient will qualify for services. The RLAFC opened in June of 2010 and has over 520 patients. The typical clinic night begins at 5 p.m. with registration and intake, triaging by the triage nurse as well as vital signs. Providers begin office visits at 6 p.m. Labs are free of charge to the patient. Labs are provided by donation of in-kind services from four area health-care organizations.

State Patrol Law of the Month Motorists will need to share the road with farm equipment and other slow-moving vehicles during harvest season
SPOONER — As farmers move from field to field during the fall harvest, drivers will need to share the road with slowmoving agricultural implements. Drivers should slow down immediately whenever they see a fluorescent orange slow-moving-vehicle emblem on the rear of a tractor or other piece of equipment. They also must be alert, focused and patient while trying to pass slow-moving vehicles. “Before you attempt to pass a slowmoving vehicle, make sure you can clearly see what’s up ahead in front of that vehicle,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Lt. Dori Petznick of Northwest Region/ Spooner Post. 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, animaldrawn vehicles or other vehicles that are
Monday, Sept. 22 At approximately 10:27 a.m., John Paquin, 63, Spooner, was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Beaver Brook when he hit a deer one-half mile north of Boot Lake Spur Road. Paquin was not hurt but the windshield of the Ford Focus he was driving was damaged. Friday, Sept. 26 At approximately 6:44 p.m., John Rau, 33, Brookings, S.D., was westbound on CTH D in the Town of Sarona when his vehicle broke down one mile west of
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 WSP

Bartz participates in internship for Target Corporation MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — This past summer Hannah Bartz, a 2011 graduate of Shell Lake High School, participated in a paid internship for Target Corporation at their corporate offices located in Minneapolis, Minn. During the 10-week internship, Bartz worked as a business analyst in the corporation’s visual merchandising and marketing division. One of 236 interns recruited by Target for the summer, Bartz worked with her team on real business problems and issues at the corporate level. Both she and her team were evaluated on their performance on a weekly basis, which covered not only their individual and team strengths but areas of opportunity for improvement. Bartz is a senior at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities campus. She is studying fashion design - merchandising and marketing in the College of Design and the Carlson School of Business.

Washburn County accident report Kegema Road. Rau was not able to get the 2001 Ford Focus he was driving completely off the roadway. Janet Benson, 70, Washburn, struck the open driver side door of Rau’s vehicle as she passed him westbound in a 2005 Toyota Corola. Rau was still inside the vehicle when the door was struck. Both drivers said that the setting sun was a factor in the accident. Neither driver was injured but Rau’s vehicle sustained severe damage to the driver’s side door. Benson’s vehicle sustained severe damage to the front passenger side.
At approximately 8:10 p.m., Jason Kisting, 35, Barron, was northbound on Hwy. 63 in the city of Shell Lake, 200 feet from Industrial Boulevard, when he hit a deer.

National Newspaper Week
O
ctober is a month that acknowledges many things during its 31 days. Among them are National Dental Hygiene Month, World Alzheimer’s Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Financial Planning Month and National Co-op Month. During October National Newspaper Week is also held. Since the Washburn County Register is part of the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, this is our month to acknowledge co-ops. Since Oct. 5-11 is National Newspaper Week we can double up on sharing with our readers our rich history. As I reflect on the years I have been associated with the ICCPA, I recall our former pressman Ray Linden. When I was at the beginning of my newspaper career, Ray was at the age I am today. When contemplating that, I can’t help but wonder how younger employees view those of us that have been with the company for decades. We have many employees working for ICCPA that have surpassed over 30 years with our company. Ray retired after 40 years. Many changes have occurred in the newspaper business over the years with the advancement of technology. Today it is very rare to see a typewriter in use. Although Ray was the last linotype operator in our print shop, he welcomed new technology and took computer lessons when PCs became available. Ray was there at the beginning of ICCPA. He was 9 years old when his father joined with a neighbor to raise funds to start a newspaper aimed to serve the people, including struggling farmers, with a forum for viewpoints and ideas. The year was 1933. Ray shared about how he worked through the night with his father and others to get the first issue of the InterCounty Leader to press. In 1949, Ray was hired as a pressman. He operated everything from the linotype to sheetfed presses and adapted to offset printing when it became part of the cooperative’s operation in the 1960s. Today it is still advertising that generates the income to pay our bills. The following comment was published in the Jan. 24, 1925, edi-
tion of the Register. “No time to weep. This is no time to weep, curse the cards, or wring your hands while you stand behind the counter with a face long enough to eat cats out of a churn. Start out the New Year right by using that great business tonic called, Advertising. Publicity is like a pebble thrown into a placid pool of water. The waves it creates radiate and expand until one never knows how far it goes nor the good it accomplishes.” It was in 1924 that the Register placed an ad that read, “We will exchange. To those desiring, and having the proper medium of exchange, we will barter for subscriptions, delinquent, renewals or new subscribers. We are in the exchange market for eggs, must be strictly fresh; butter, must be A1 dairy; vegetables and poultry, also wood, dry or green, but not punk. In the absence of any of the above mentioned, we would still be willing to accept the American dollar.” At the newspaper office today, I am able to accept

On Oct. 11, 1978, the web press was running full steam ahead with pressman Ray Linden shown on the right. Doug Engdahl caught the papers coming off the conveyer belt. Lynn Runnels bundle tied the papers before they were placed in mail sacks and were ready for delivery.
Discover, MasterCard, Visa, a personal check, and yes the American dollar. I’m not able to make the exchanges that were suggested 90 years ago. But if you gifted me with a cookie as you renewed your subscription or paid for advertising, I would probably accept it along with the type of payments mentioned above.
Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Save time for the birds by Sylvia Oberle It sings a lot! The male brown thrasher has the largest documented song repertoire of all North American birds — 1,100 song types. I’ve heard at least a few of those songs firsthand. Why? Because a pair of brown thrashers surprised me when they flew into my yard this summer. That was good luck, since I couldn’t get on the trail to do my birding due to thunderstorms and mosquitos. It was a real treat. Those birds I hadn’t seen before flew in and nested. Like a special gift, they came to me right here at home. The brown thrasher has a rusty-red long tail that is quite striking. A streaked breast and two white wing bars are markings on both male and female. I would see them often eating insects on the lawn. The female lays four or five pale blue eggs with brown markings and the incubation time is 11 to 14 days. Their migration is to the southern states. The birders say it has been a good year for brown
The male brown thrasher has the largest documented song repertoire of all North American birds. — Photo by Sylvia Oberle thrashers and also for orioles and warblers. But it hasn’t been the best for chimney swifts. Their habitat
in hollow trees and cliffs has been disappearing. They fly down chimneys and are trapped there. Modern-day chimneys often have metal inside and the birds can’t cling to the sides. The Wisconsin Chimney Swift Working Group is asking people to count the swifts and report to WisconsineBird.org. However, you may have to count by fives since they fly fast and close together. Now is the time to watch the fall migration. According to a naturalist’s survey, taking time, relaxing, watching birds in your own backyard is helpful to your health. Even a half-hour a week can make a difference. Watching the many species with their variety of color and song can bring a sense of wonder to you. Migration is a good time to look up and watch for birds. Cedar waxwings are among the first to fly south. Killdeer and sandhills are still here but will be leaving soon. The ultralight is on its way leading the whooping cranes to Florida and Canada geese are busy honking and forming their V’s. So as the old saying goes, “keep your chin up,” and watch for birds. Best yet, you don’t have to travel far because your own backyard is just fine.

Lawmakers call for action over train stoppages in rural communities Stoppages frequently block traffic in Solon Springs
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN — Three northern lawmakers have called upon the Wisconsin Railroad Commissioner to utilize the maximum authority of his office to hold rail companies accountable for train stoppages that block rail crossings and cause disruptions to citizens of Wisconsin. In a letter to Commissioner Jeff Plale, Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, Reps. Nick Milroy, D-South Range, and Janet Bewley, D-Ashland, expressed concern that an increase in train stoppages cause disruption to citizens and presents serious safety concerns for emergency responders. The legislators offices have received numerous contacts from concerned citizens in Solon Springs where as many as 20 trains going as fast as 50 miles per hour run through the small community each day. “When the

Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — A special benefit for Stephanie Gramberg will be held Saturday, Oct. 11, at Becky’s in Shell Lake. The fundraiser will run from 3 p.m. until the fun stops. A spaghetti dinner will be served along with a live auction, paddle wheel, Chinese auction and kid-friendly activities. All proceeds will be going to help the Lee and Stephanie Gramberg family with their medical expenses. Stephanie was diagnosed with cancer on July 3. It had progressed to her bones. The doctors prepared her for the worst, believing that the cancer was too far advanced. Stephanie was determine that she was going to beat this no matter what the doctors said. She has three children — Dani, Tyler and Austin — in her loving, caring family, more children if you count all the 4-H and Washburn County Horse Project children she has helped and mentored. With the help of family, friends and community she is winning in her battle with cancer. In September, after months of intense chemotherapy, she received the news that her cancer was in remission and she will be starting radiation treatments. She remains positive in spite of the pain and sickness caused from the chemo, determined to live so that her youngest son, Austin, would not have to go through the heartbreak of losing another loved one. Austin, who is a high school freshman, lost his father, Wayne Schultz, in a tragic snowmobile accident and years later a grandfather

du Lac where a train was stopped for over five hours, blocking numerous crossings and snarling traffic. “We are also aware of a situation in Auburndale in Wood County where when a train stops it virtually traps the residents of a particular neighborhood. Junction City in Portage County is also experiencing similar train stoppages that are causing significant problems for that community,” they said. “We appreciate the increase in rail traffic as well as its benefits to Wisconsin’s economy, however, something must be done to address this critical safety issue as quickly as possible,” they said. “The Federal Railroad Administration encourages railroads to be good corporate citizens and work with state and local officials to eliminate or reduce the effects of blocked crossings. It appears as though they are not willing to do it on their own, so we call upon you to do whatever you can to address these concerns.” — from the offices of Jauch, Milroy and Bewley

trains aren’t running through town, they often stop for a shift change or to switch tracks creating a barrier which hinders travel of ordinary citizens, school buses and students, and emergency response vehicles,” said the lawmakers. The lawmakers pointed to a recent 30-minute rail blockage that occurred during a visit by Plale to Solon Springs. “During the lengthy delay we observed that the blocked passage slowed commercial and residential traffic and would have impeded an emergency vehicle if it was responding to a call at that time.” “This kind of blockage occurs all the time in Solon Springs and no doubt occurs throughout Wisconsin. It appears that the railroads don’t seem to care. They must be held accountable, and steps must be taken to reduce the number of delays in Wisconsin,” they said. Communities throughout the state are experiencing similar problems. The lawmakers pointed out that recent news stories relayed a situation in the Town of Fond

Richter completes first marathon Raises funds for Semper Fi Fund and WCAHS Dr. Lee
Dr. Jennifer
SPOONER — Dawn Richter, member of the Spooner Police Department staff, recently did her first marathon. “Since I love running and I love animals, I decided to make my recent attempt at my first marathon race into a fundraising effort,” stated Richter. “Training for a marathon is really timeconsuming and hard work, and doing it just for myself didn’t seem like enough of a reason,” she commented. Although the race itself was a fundraiser for the Semper

Fi Fund, a nonprofit set up to provide immediate financial support for wounded, critically ill and injured members of the post-9/11 U.S. Armed Forces and their families, Richter decided to add one of her own personal favorites and raised money for the Washburn County Humane Society as well. “I have adopted many pets from WCAHS and other shelters, and feel like the work these agencies do to help homeless and neglected animals is very important. However, partly due to having my own animals to take care of, I haven’t always had funds available to donate when I wanted to.” Richter saves aluminum cans and weight circles, but thanks to a number of generous friends and church members, she was able to donate $272.20, so far, for doing the race. For those of you who are not into recreational running, a marathon is 26.2 miles. “Those last five miles seemed way harder than the first 10, but when it started getting tough, I remembered that I had to keep going, because I had the support of others who were helping the animals with me, and there was no way I could quit. Honestly, what actually felt better to me after accomplishing my very first marathon was not the shirt, the prize or the congratulations from my fellow runners, but handing over the donations to Penny at the humane society. That was a wonderful feeling. If anyone meant to donate and hasn’t gotten around to it, I encourage you to do so still, and get in on the good feeling. And you don’t even have to run yourself,” she added. — from WCAHS

Pink Night in Spooner
Larry Samson | Staff writer SPOONER — On Thursday, Oct. 2, the Spooner volleyball team played Bloomer in a home game that was dedicated as Pink Night. It also served as Senior Night, a time for the team to show their appreciation and to honor the seniors who have put in countless hours playing and learning volleyball. Katie Gobel, Megan Meisberger, Dana Danger, Kenzie Hanson and Sammy Osborn have been important players on the teams throughout the years. “They are wonderful ladies on and off the court,” coach Melissa Smith said of her seniors. “It was a tough loss for our varsity team as we made some critical decisions that lost us the match. We are working out things mentally, emotionally and physically, to take our game to the next level,” Smith said after the game. “It is great to see that we can play right along with Bloomer though and I am very proud of all the work the girls have put in so far.” Spooner lost three games, 14-25, 19-25 and 26-28. “I’d like to thank everyone who

came out for our pink nights during middle school volleyball, soccer, football and high school volleyball,” Smith added. The team raised a little over $300; the money will be donated to the Mayo Cancer Research Program this year. On homecoming Friday, for the football tailgate dinner, 80 volleyball players, parents and coaches served more than 300 meals. “We thank all for coming out to this great event. Thank you goes to River Street Family Restaurant for preparing all the food and for donating the chicken and rolls. We are grateful for the support from all.” The varsity team will travel to Hayward on Saturday, Oct. 11, for the conference tournament. This was originally to be held at Spooner but was moved due to the condition of the middle school bleachers. Play begins at 9 a.m. The other teams playing will be Bloomer, Barron, Northwestern and Chetek. Dana Danger dives for the dig.

Sunday, October 12, 2014 Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost e often hear phrases such as “I just didn’t have W enough time,” or “I ran out of time,” or “If I only had more time.” Time seems to elude all of us. Yet all of
us try to regulate our lives by time. We wear watches, have watches and are “clock watchers.” One of the most interesting facts about time, however, is that it reveals our priorities. If we say that we love our wife and children, yet have little time for them or to be with them, our words are meaningless. If we say that we love our Lord and Savior, yet have no time for church or take no time to serve him, our behavior mocks us and cancels our words. Our priorities are what matter. Our priorities are known to us and visible to others by the time we spend on things. Psalm 24 makes a bold statement: “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” It reflects the words that introduce us to God: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth!” This verse states that God was the creator. Furthermore, this Psalm states that the earth and everything in it belongs to him. If so, he is to be the priority of our lives and everything we do is to be an act of worship - honoring him in all that we do. This Psalm clearly announces the kingship of God. We are quick to recognize God as creator but that is not enough for him. As our creator-king, he has every right to expect us, his subjects, to place him first and foremost in our lives. We know he is our priority when we honor him by what we do with our time. Visit us at SowerMinstries.org

Barronett
by Judy Pieper
Wow! The weather around here can certainly change in a hurry, can’t it? I keep telling everyone that now that this little taste of what’s to come is done, we’ll have at least four more weeks of nice sunny weather. It seems as though we always get a false start to winter just to remind us that it’s time to start getting ready for the real thing. So, get those gardens cleaned up, cover the asparagus with chopped leaves, and put pine needles around the blueberries. You know the routine. One of these years I’m going to point the car south about the first of October and drive until someone asks me why I have a plug-in hanging out of the grill of the car. Mike Forster asked me to pass along the following note: “Barronett Civic Club extends gratitude to everyone who helped make Colorfest 2014 a success. Your donations and participation made this year’s Colorfest a great family outing. Without all of your generosity and hard work there would be no Colorfest. We had many suggestions for some new things, so please be ready in the spring to share those ideas at a meeting.” Barronett Lutheran women met last Thursday evening for the regular monthly meeting. After some discussion, we decided that we would not be having the Scandinavian smorgasbord this year. As you probably know, our church is very small, and we just don’t have enough volunteers who are able to do everything that needs to be done for the smorgasbord. We appreciate everyone who has come to the dinner for the past nine years, and hope that we may be able to do it again next
Stone Lake Stone Lake’s 36th-annual Cranberry Festival is now history. The weekend was actually very nice even though we had a couple of inches of snow the night before. The weather was a bit cool but the rain held off so people could get around and see the many exhibits and food booths. The bake-off contest held on Saturday was a huge success with 39 entries. Thank you to all that entered this year, braving the cold, rain and snow. The results are as follows: Junior grand prize: Hannah Zacharias. Cakes and desserts: Corrine Knight, first; and Hannah Zacharias, second and third. Cookies and bars: Hannah Zacharias first and second with no third-place entry. Pies: Hannah Zacharias, first and second, with no third-place entry. Breads and muffins: Martha Zacharias, first and second, with no third-place entry. Senior grand prize: Tanya Hofer. Cakes and desserts: Chandra Susedil, first; Lisa Ngo, second; and Janet Rowney, third. Cookies and bars: Jessica Falk, first; Lisa Ngo, second; and Gretchen Rasmussen, third; Pies: Tanya Hofer, first; Lynnet Gillette, second; and Martha Zacharias, third. Breads and muffins: Martha Zacharias, first; Brad Betlach, second; and Jodi Haugen, third. Gratitude is extended to the following people who helped make this contest possible: Janet Rowney, Mickey Burke, Sue Rollinger, Dave Langham, Jane McAndrews, Jean Horvath, Barb Peterson, Jeanne Hornak and Terri Ulrich. The Tuesday, Nov. 4, general election now requires an acceptable photo ID before casting a ballot. Please share this information with members of your household, friends and neighbors. Most
year. In the meantime, there are lots of other churches that put on a Scandinavian dinner at this time of year. The best one, of course, is Our Savior’s Lutheran over in Campia. Their dinner will be held on Saturday, Nov. 1. I’ll be there, and I hope to see you there, too. Geri Pittman, Anitia Lehmann and I decided that it was time for a girls’ day out last Thursday. We went down to Ikea, had their delicious Swedish pancakes with lingonberry sauce, shopped, and then went back to the cafeteria for lunch. It was sprinkling a little bit when we went into the store, and when we came out it was an absolute downpour. If you want to have a lot of fun, drive in Twin Cities traffic when the rain is falling so hard the windshield wipers can’t keep up. Luckily everyone was being pretty cautious, so we made it through without incident. We did have a great day though. It’s always good to get away from it all with a couple of good friends. On Friday evening, Ilia Theese invited me to go to the Ceska Opera House in Haugen for “Long Live the Squeezebox XXVI” The accordion and concertina music was great! Mostly old-time polkas, waltzes and two-step kind of music, but some more modern things, too. And, the skits by the Uff-da Players between sets were hilarious. We had a great evening. That is until we left the opera house and saw that the ground was white. The snow was coming down so hard that it made driving home difficult. C’mon, is anyone ready for this? Friday was a special occasion at the Forrestal home. It was John and Nancy’s
smell of the sauerkraut fermenting in our house has been successfully obliterated. I couldn’t stand it any longer, so, last Wednesday, I canned it. I’m sure it will taste good with pork this winter, but right now I hope I don’t have to do anything more with it for a long time. Oh, by the way, Geri Pittman gave me a recipe using pork sausage and sauerkraut that sounds like it will be delicious. I’d be glad to share it with you if you give me a call. I also have a recipe from Rachel Gullickson that calls for sauerkraut, pork chops and noodles that’s really good. Maybe we should all get together and publish a cookbook. There is a new cook helping Debbie at the Red Brick. I haven’t had a chance to meet him yet, but Duane said that he seems to be fitting in nicely. Sounds like he’s had a lot of experience cooking in restaurants. When you’re in town, stop by, say hello, and have a meal. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Cathy Clark, who passed away last week. Please keep Cathy’s family in your prayers as they go through this time of sorrow. I think that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Remember, get all your outside work done. Winter is coming. See you later.

Dewey-LaFollette Maxine and Les Lindquist visited Hank and Karen Mangelsen on Sept. 22 to help Hank celebrate his birthday. Sorry for the omission last week. Karen and Hank Mangelsen visited Arvid Pearson in the Frederic nursing home on Tuesday morning. Inez Pearson was there visiting also. Clam River Tuesday Club met Oct. 1 at the home of Beth Crosby. Plans were finalized for the fundraiser, which is Oct. 11 at the Indian Creek Hall, beginning at 6 p.m. Please come and join the fun. Nina and Lawrence Hines visited Diana and John Mangelsen on Thursday afternoon. Hank and Karen Mangelsen called on
anniversary and John’s birthday. Congratulations you two. We hope you have many more years of happiness ahead. On Saturday, John and Nancy and Duane and I went to Oktoberfest in New Ulm, Minn. We went to the parade downtown, and then to the Holiday Inn for German food and music, then back to town for an authentic German dinner at the Kaiserhoff Restaurant. One of the musicians told jokes between songs. They were pretty corny. This is one of the better ones: Two brothers owned a farm and they were both in the barn doing the milking one evening. One brother, while sitting on a stool and milking a cow by hand, saw a fly buzzing around the cow’s ear and thought he should probably swat it so it would quit bothering her. Suddenly the fly flew right into the ear and disappeared. Hmm. He continued milking for a couple of minutes, and was surprised when a fly came out with the milk and landed in the milk pail. He called his brother over to tell him about it, and his brother said that it happened all the time. You know – in one ear and out the udder! You can imagine how corny the others were if this was one of the better ones. They were much better musicians than comedians. It is, once again, safe to drive through Barronett with your windows down. The

We’ve had some cold weather this last week. Wind is blowing so the leaves are finding their way to the ground. How about the snow that fell one morning? It’s much too early for that. Last week was a busy one here. On Tuesday evening a group went to Becky’s for pizza and headed home full, with some to take home. It was a good evening and good pizza. Tooker and Sue Weathers, along with Bun and Margaret Weathers, left for southern Indiana for Tooker’s class reunion. They stopped at Champaign, Ill., overnight Thursday and continued on Friday. I’m sure they had a good time. On Thursday night, everyone was treated to popcorn here at Glenview during the Green Bay and Minnesota football game with a small donation that will go to the Alzheimer’s Association. The popcorn and the game were both good. Brent and Nicole Pederson took in the game in Green Bay and spent Friday visiting some of his friends that he went to school with there. Tam Smith came on Wednesday to entertain us with her music students, but apparently they weren’t quite ready to play for a crowd so Tam entertained us and we sang along. Thanks Tam. Our sympathy to Mavis Flach who lost a cousin last week. Rudy Erickson, 76, passed away at Wilson. Funeral services were Tuesday. He had three children. A son, Ron-
Dewey Country
nie, from North Carolina, attended the funeral. Lillian Ullom’s sisters, Louise and Margaret, came up for the weekend and Sunday night Marvin and Frank joined them for supper. Peder Pederson attended the spaghetti dinner at the Pentecostal church in Spooner on Saturday. One of the guests was Leroy Butler, a former Packer player and known for his Lambeau Leap. He was quite enjoyable. John and Mary Marschall spent a few days fishing in Canada with Darryl and Cokie Marshall. The fishing was good but they had cold weather. Sunday night John and Mary entertained the family, including Marion Furchtenicht and Wealthy Marschall, for a fish fry at their home. I heard the bad news that a classmate of mine from Cumberland High School had passed away. Harriet (Sweet) Spanerberg grew up in Barronett and had celebrated her 90th birthday here this last summer. Her funeral was in Grantsburg on Monday. Our sympathy to the family. Congratulations to Ruth Abrahamson who celebrated her 101st birthday with cake and ice cream on Sunday, Oct. 5, for her Glenview family. Her son, Jack, and Margaret took her to church and out to eat breakfast also on Sunday. Arlys Santiago is busy pet-sitting and this week she was in Comstock. I’m at an age when my back goes out more than I do. Have a good week.

On Friday, Oct. 3, we had our first snow. We certainly don’t have to be reminded of what’s ahead do we? On Saturday, Reyana Ladd came with Paula Cramer to help make homemade sauerkraut. Well, that little honey Reyana didn’t come in the house, and I asked Paula what she was doing. Paula told me Reyana wanted to make a snowman out of the snow we had in the middle of the yard. Well, to be truthful, there wasn’t enough snow for her so she gave up. Happy birthday to Duane Johnson, Stephanie Lawrence, Beau Skluzacek and John Rawling on Oct. 9. Have a great day. Oct. 10, a very happy birthday to Kim Atkinson as she enjoys her special day. Oct. 11, a very happy birthday to Robin Major and to Clint Stariha who turns 64. Have a great day with lots more to come. Happy birthday to Ethan Melton, Brandon Dahlstrom and to DeDe Lawrence all on Oct. 12 with lots more to come. Happy birthday to Julie Blatterman as she enjoys her special day Oct. 13 with many more. Oct. 14, a very happy anniversary to John and Peg Pockat, Doug and Karen Vanderhoof, and Travis and Ashley Vanderhoof. Have a great one. A very special happy birthday to my special nephew, Gene Quam, and also to Melissa Crosby on their special day, Oct. 14, with many more. Happy birthday to Castin Melton as he celebrates his special day Oct. 15 when he turns 8 years old. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Shirley Quinton, 74, who passed away Sept. 29. Family prayer service was held at the Skinner Funeral Home in Shell Lake on Wednesday evening. Her funeral was held Thursday at Lakeview Methodist Church, with burial in the Lakeview Cemetery. Her family and a host of friends will miss Shirley. Sunday, Mike and Gene Quam left with John Schullo for some mule deer hunting. Jim Quam is getting better, and he milked the cows and was very careful with his right arm. Marie also milked, and they had the twins from Sam Mechtel’s come and help feed, etc. Plan to take in the benefit for Stephanie and Lee Gramberg on Saturday, Oct. 11. It will be held at Becky’s in Shell Lake with lots of goodies for all to enjoy from the paddle wheel to a Chinese auction, to a hayride at 9 p.m. A spaghetti meal will be available. Start time is 3 p.m. Did you hear about the new toothpaste they have out? Well, this toothpaste contains allergy medication. Maybe it will eliminate the shot. This last week has certainly been chilly. Last Wednesday it was time to turn the heat on, as it was so chilly. Now that we’re into October, I guess we can expect any kind of weather. Lyle Atkinson likes to ride his motorcycle. About every Sunday he goes by and joins others and they go riding, especially by La Crosse.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Donegan is the son of Clint and Martha E. Donegan, Johnson City, Tenn., and brother of Myles C. Donegan, Spooner, Joshua C. Donegan, Cookeville, Tenn., and April M. Maupin, Jonesborough, Tenn. He is a 2012 graduate of David Crockett High School, Jonesborough, Tenn. — from Hometown News
Lillian Stege is spending a number of days with Jerry and Gretchen Best, which she does every fall. On Thursday, Jerry and Gretchen attended the funeral of Allan Anderson who lived in Almena. Jerry and Allan were childhood and school friends. Has anyone noticed the thick layer of leaves on the ground? Yes, it’s got quite a pack so far this year. Saturday, Oct. 11, is the Clam River Tuesday Club fundraiser at the Indian Creek Hall. There will be lots of prizes, along with music and lots of food to enjoy along with the auction. So come and enjoy the evening. You’ll be glad you did. Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase, Morgan and Joyclin were up for the weekend at Garry and Beth Crosby’s. Jerry and Donna Melin from Green Bay were up for the weekend and stayed with Lorraine and Glen Crosby. While here the Melins visited relatives. Sunday night Garry and Beth had Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia and Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann in for fresh walleye caught by Shorty in Canada. It certainly sounds delicious, Beth. The Crosby boys have been chopping corn like a lot of farmers are doing. Home for the weekend at Cecil and Evelyn Meltons was their daughter, Robin. Over the weekend a bunch of the Melton kids were at Cecil and Evelyn’s doing the fall work and getting everything ready for winter. They also enjoyed dinner with everyone bringing some goodies. You know, Evelyn, doing all that work and getting everything ready for winter just can’t be bought with money can it? Coming to Diane Hulleman’s on Saturday were Chad and Colleen Jensen and Izzy and Mattie. They stayed over, and the next morning after breakfast, Steve Hulleman came and the four adults split the wood from the week before. They got all the wood split, and Diane tells us she doesn’t think that’s going to be enough, so she is ordering another 10 cords of wood. Diane had dinner and supper for the gang. Next Saturday, Diane is going to have a wedding shower for Heather Nelson who will be marrying Ryan Perlt in November. Ryan is Diane’s grandson. Take a ride in Dewey Country and get some of those good apples at Smith’s Poquette Lake Orchard. While you are there, get some of Lynn’s goodies. She has a secret she puts into them that makes them just right and so delicious. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week! The three mouseketeers Did you know we had the three mouseketeers living here in Dewey Country? Yes we did and we thoroughly enjoyed the three for many years. The three went to grade school and also high school, graduating together in 1991. Every Saturday morning the phone would ring, either at the Quintons, Sweitzers or the Lawrences, asking if their little mouseketeers could come to their house and play. It was always, “Please can I go to Angie’s or Missy or the Lawrences and play?” Of course we always let them go. The three mouseketers were Angie Quinton, Missy Sweitzer and Penny Lawrence. And those three played and played together for many years. Most weekends the three would stay over at the house they were at. In the summer, it was an everyday occurrence to go to one of the houses. Remembering back, Shirley Quinton made the girls chocolate pudding and Penny loved it. Shirley was one of those women who loved kids and loved to cook. Penny tells me she can still taste how good that chocolate pudding tasted. Well, these three mousketeers have kept in contact and now have gone on with their lives. Angie is married with two kids and is the manager at the Shell Lake State Bank in Stone Lake and very happy. Missy is married and has two kids and is a nurse in the Eau Claire area and very happy. Penny is married with three kids and teaches in Cameron and is very happy. I do know Penny asks me how to make chocolate pudding like Shirley Quinton made years ago, and I’ve tried my best, but nobody could make chocolate pudding like Shirley. Our hats off to Shirley!
Sarona
by Marian Furchtenicht Sure nice to have the sunshine on Monday to start the week off. The temp was only 34 degrees as I wrote this column. Last week was something else, cold, rainy, windy, and even some snow on Friday night. Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman took in the Stone Lake Cranberry Festival on Saturday. They said they dressed for it so it wasn’t bad. They had fun and saw lots of people. Our days are sure noticeably shorter and the nights longer. I see Toyland opened at Farm and Fleet. Should one be buying Halloween or Christmas candy? Allan and Charlotte Ross’ son killed a bear. It has 3 inches of back fat. The guy at the meat market in Weyerhaeuser said that’s more than usual, so it’s a sign of a long, cold winter coming. Doesn’t sound good. It’s that time of the year for church harvest suppers. Sherrine Walley called to say they won’t be having one at the Earl Namekagon church this year. The first time in 100 years due to the aging congregation and says thank you to all that supported them over the years. Gas prices have been steadily dropping. It was $3.24 in Shell Lake on Monday. That is a plus. It’s also the time of the year to get flu shots. There are clinics set up in lots of places so no excuses I guess. Our trees in the area are beautiful. The wind and rain took care of some leaves but there’s still lots of color to enjoy. Sympathy to the family of Alys Tangwall Venolandt, 96, Rice Lake. Alys and her late husband, Dewey, lived for many years by Long Lake and she was a very active lady. She taught school, was Long Lake town clerk, bowler, golfer, bridge player, VFW member and very active in the Long Lake Lutheran Church, where her funeral was held last Thursday. She had many friends and was loved by all that knew her. Marion Dahlgren, 96, passed away last Thursday. At one time she lived in West Sarona. Her funeral will be at the Shell Lake Methodist Church on Friday, Oct. 10. Sympathy to the family. Anton and Gloria Frey, along with Jan and Jeff Johnson, attended granddaughter Danielle’s wedding Saturday. It was beautiful, in colors of purple and white, with her five attendants, but not too nice a day for an outdoor wedding held in an apple orchard. The reception and dance were held at the Settlement Hill Barn in rural Hudson. Congratulations to the newlyweds. Mavis Schlapper went to daughter Pam’s in Elk Mound on Saturday and came home Sunday. She attended grandson Robert Cernocky’s wedding held at the Elk Mound Church with reception and dance held at his workplace. All of Mavis’ family got there except for Dean, but his wife, Kim, flew up from Texas. Wayne’s daughter, Ashley, and fiancé announced their engagement on the weekend. Congratulations. Shane Kline and a friend came and spent two nights at his grandma, Mavis Schlapper’s, when he was working nearby in New Auburn last Thursday and Friday. John and Mary Marschall got home Saturday night from a fishing trip to Canada. They had their kids, his mom Wealthy Marschall from Amery and myself over for fish fry Sunday night. It was really good. I haven’t seen any Asian beetles so far this fall. Reports are there weren’t any aphids in the soybeans this year, and that is their food source. Maybe they will show up when the soybeans in the area are harvested. That will be real soon. Fuernot Farms are busy getting corn chopping done and it’s kind of wet going. Birthday wishes this week to Dorothy Peterson, Loren Hennekins and Bentlie Gagner, Oct. 9; Joyce Ellingson, Steven Frey and Norm Ness, Oct. 11; Delores Livingston, DeeDee Elliott, Hezzy King, Linda Webb, Paul Armour and Jim Bennewitz, Oct. 12; Jack Dahlstrom, Bobbie Bailey, Brent Konop and Johnathon Fischer, Oct. 13; Dayle Ricci, Theresa Vanderhyde and Tommy Stubfors, Oct. 14; Gwen Organ, Polly Parker, Jacob McQuade, Gene Sigmund and Joyce Nyara, Oct. 15. Celebrate. It’s your special day! A happy anniversary is wished for John and Kasey Child, their 15th, and Nathan and Lea Cerocky Quick, Oct. 9; Chris and Leah Engen, Oct. 10; Joe and Liz Gargulak, their 45th and Dan and Mandy Hagen, Oct. 11; Drew and Jen Knoop and Andy and Emily Frey, both couples celebrating one year; Allan Charlotte Ross, Oct. 13; and John and Peg Pockat Oct. 14.

A country store in downtown Spooner Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — “We are used to haveingmobs of people, lots of employees this is a little slower paced. It is kind of nice,” said Phil Markgren. A week after selling the Spooner Bake Shoppe, Phil and Nancy Markgren purchased the building at the corner of Walnut and Summit Street in downtown Spooner and opened the Yellow River Trading Company. “We kind of want people to think of an old-fashioned country store. We want to have a little bit of everything,” said Kim Fox, store manager and the Markgrens’ daughter. Don’t let the old exterior deceive you, because a remodeled interior holds treasures and deals to discover. Moderately priced goods for purchase include menswear, outdoor gear, crafting supplies, fabric by the yard, women’s wear, toys, food items, gifts, knitting supplies, home décor and more. “We’re trying to get American made as much as we can,” said Nancy. Those items that are made in the USA include men’s blue jeans and shirts. The jeans are made in North Carolina and have received good reviews by purchasers. A selection of knitted hats for men and women are also on display.

Yellow River Trading Company, a new store in downtown Spooner, is celebrating its grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 11.

For now they are focused on getting people in the doors. “We would like to get a lot more (merchandise) but we’re just kind of getting little bits to see what people really want,” said Fox.

lection of items from fabric by the yard to paints to quality yarns. “Our family, we’re pretty blessed, we are very creative so everything we sell in here we know something about so it’s helpful for the customers,” said Fox. The transition from bakery owners to retail seems like a shift of interests, but Phil and Nancy have always wanted to operate a store like the Yellow River Trading Company.

Two months into business, the shop already has popular items including the women’s clothing, scented candles, tin signs and greeting cards. On Saturday, Oct. 11, a grand opening celebration will be held at the store. Everyone is invited to stop in and check out the new store, enjoy some refreshments and take advantage of special sales.
