Lone suspect apprehended in Rice Lake shooting Danielle Danford | Staff writer RICE LAKE — A Rice Lake man was arrested on Thursday, Sept. 17, for being the lone suspect in a shooting incident in the city of Rice Lake.

Steven Meyers, 48, was apprehended about two hours after an unidentified woman reported to the police that she had heard gunshots and then noticed what appeared to be holes in the side of her residence.

According to information from the Rice Lake Police Department, officers responded to the call at about noon. Upon arrival to the residence, located in the west-central part of the city, the holes in the caller’s home were confirmed to be from an undetermined caliber firearm. Officers were able to determine where the shots had been fired from.

Because of the incident, a Code RED Alert was activated to notify residents within a close proximity of the incident. Those living adjacent to the incident were evacuated. The Rice Lake Area School District was located in the vicinity of the incident and entered a preventative lockdown as a precautionary measure.

Meyers was taken into custody at about 1:50 p.m. by the Barron County Sheriff’s Department without further incident. Residents were then able to return to their homes and the school lifted the lockdown.

A search of Meyers’ residence, executed with warrant, found numerous guns, ammunition, bullet casings and drug paraphernalia, which was collected as evidence. Meyers is considered to be the only suspect in the incident and was charged with reckless endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon and being armed while intoxicated.

The police report stated that there is no evidence to believe any specific person or the general public is in any danger. Meyers is currently held at the Barron County Jail pending formal charges.

The Wisconsin State Patrol and the Barron County Sheriff’s Department Emergency Response Team also provided additional assistance during the incident.

No motive for the shooting has been determined but the case remains under investigation.

Washburn County highway commissioner resigns Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Jon Johnson, Washburn County highway commissioner, has made his decision to resign from his position with the county official. Johnson tendered his resignation last week to the county’s highway committee, but in an effort to keep Johnson, the committee refused to accept his resignation and moved forward with a counteroffer.

The county personnel committee approved that counteroffer on Friday, Sept. 11. During the course of the Washburn County Board meeting

held on Tuesday, Sept. 15, it was reported that Johnson had chosen to not accept the county’s counteroffer, making his resignation final.

Johnson submitted a letter of resignation to the county after being made an offer for a position in Eau Claire.

“I have been given an opportunity to better myself and my family and that is my only reason for leaving,” wrote Johnson in his resignation letter. He also stated he enjoyed the challenges over the last six years in the position.

DOT aims to eliminate injury crashes with installation of CTH B intersection Danielle Danford | Staff writer TOWN OF BEAVER BROOK — According to data collected and analyzed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, a high incidence of injury crashes have occurred at the CTH B and Hwy. 53 intersection in the Town of Beaver Brook over the past nine years.

“There’s been a substantial history of right-angle crashes at this intersection, particularly what we call far-side rightangle crashes,” said Greg Helgeson, DOT traffic safety engineer. These crashes typically occur on the far side of a four-lane divided highway when a driver attempts to cross the highway from a side road or attempts a turn left.

“There was one fatal crash in the last nine years but there have been many crashes that have resulted in what we call incapacitating injuries, very severe injuries and/or moderate injuries, but a lot of injury crashes here,” said Helgeson.

Because of the high incidence of injury crashes, Helgeson said the DOT had to make the intersection safer.

“Instead of making a direct crossing and being stuck on the far side, we separate the two movements … that’s one of the concepts that makes it much safer,” said Helgeson about the redesigned intersection under construction. The new design redirects left turn and crossing traffic to make a U-turn on Hwy. 53. Drivers on Hwy. 53 wanting to turn left will pass the intersection and use a newly constructed U-turn in the median, about 800 feet from the previous intersection. Through traffic on Hwy. 53 and all right turns will not change.

“This is all designed to accommodate trucks, semitrailers and even farm machinery,” said Helgeson. During public meetings on the project, held about a year ago, engineers learned that farmers cross from CTH B with farm machinery and took those comments to the design. Helgeson said the new intersection is a very good option, not only to make the intersection safe but to accommodate farmers’ slower-moving vehicles.

“We’ve seen a 70-percent reduction in all crashes and 100 percent, no more injury crashes, since the improvement was made.”

- Greg Helgeson, DOT traffic safety engineer The intersection’s design is a modified version of what the DOT built in Douglas County, which also happens to be a CTH B and Hwy. 53 intersection. Since the construction of that J-turn intersection four years ago, the DOT has learned from its installation, and those concepts were applied when designing the CTH B intersection in Beaver Brook.

“What we see after three years of performance up in Douglas County with the J-turn, at that location, we’ve seen a 70-percent reduction in all crashes and a 100 percent, no more injury crashes, since the improvement was made,” said Helgeson. The DOT expects to see a reduction in crashes at the CTH B/Hwy. 53 intersection when construction is completed.

The intersection project is part of the $15.5 million DOT road project to patch and resurface Hwy. 53 from south of Trego to north of Rice Lake. The CTH B project will cost about $1.15 million.

The intersection will be constructed in concrete, for longevity, but no physical structures will block Hwy. 53 to CTH B. Instead there will be narrow paths for pedestrians, bicyclists, snowmobiles and recreational vehicles to make the crossing. Signage will indicate the appropriate action drivers must take at the intersection, including do not enter signs.

“We are anticipating that people are going to drive appropriately according to the signage or risk being ticketed for not obeying the correct signage,” said Helgeson. The project is expected to be completed by the end of October.

Plan to restructure county administration fails by one vote Impact of resolution unclear Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — “It’s clear as muck,” said Thomas Mackie, chair of the Washburn County finance committee, at the beginning of the committee’s meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Mackie’s comment reflected the status of the plan to restructure two lead county administrators into different positions.

At the county board’s regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 15, the board failed to pass the next steps in the plan by one vote. Because the resolution had a fiscal impact, it required a twothirds vote by the board, since it would mean changing the 2015 county budget.

Twenty board members were in attendance for the meeting. Clay Halverson, District 10 representative, was absent.

Steven Sather, board chair, did state the absence was excused.

The failed resolution includes the original resolution that was approved on a 13-to-8 vote at the county board’s July meeting. That resolution separates the office of county administrator from finance director, and eliminates the position of human resources and combines that position with administrative coordinator. Tuesday’s failed resolution also outlines the plan to implement the recommendation and its fiscal impact.

The fiscal impact includes the cost of wages and benefits for the new positions, transition costs for staff, recruitment costs and legal service fees, totaling $53,996.85, a figure that Steve Waggoner, District 3 and personnel

committee chair, said was low.

“It wouldn’t be much to put another 23 grand on this,” said Waggoner. Since Mike Keefe, county administrator-finance director, tendered his resignation last week, the county will need to fill his position, regardless of the failed resolution. At the finance meeting on Wednesday the committee decided to advertise for a finance director. The committee also determined that Northwest Regional Planning would not be used to recruit for the position.

Since the original resolution was first approved in July, a total of seven committee meetings have had the resolution, in some form, as an agenda item.

However, only two of those meetings were solely held to deal with the implications of the resolution.

Besides the financial implication of the resolution, Keefe’s resignation comes just as the 2015 fiscal year ends and the 2016 budget planning for the county begins.

Washburn County government consists of 28 departments including the aging and disability resource center, veterans service office, health and human services and many more integral operations for county residents.

The 2015 Washburn County budget was approved at about $33.2 million for total expenditures with revenues expected at $32.3 million, an increase in expenditures of 15.25 percent from the county’s 2014 budget. The county will be entering budget season in the coming weeks.

Illegal dumping in city dumpsters causes relocation Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake City Council approved the relocation of city dumpsters from New Knapp Road to the city shop property during the council’s regular monthly meeting on Monday, Sept. 14.

“During the Hwy. 63 project, we allowed the general contractor to put the fill at the city shop,” said Andy Eiche, Shell Lake city administrator. With access right off Hwy. 63 to the city shop, the city had the land available for such a use but the debris removed during the Hwy. 63 project soon became a mountain, one the Department of Natural Resources said posed a risk to the general public.

To maintain city residents’ access to the dumpsters, the city relocated them from the shop property to New Knapp Road because there was already a county recycling center at that location. The relocation worked until people began illegal dumping of unwanted goods at the site

and several black bears discovered the dumpsters as a new food source.

“Instead of installing gates and things like that out there we can keep the dumpsters here at the city shop and lock the gates at the main entrance,” said Mitch Brown, Shell Lake public works director. The decision is based largely on the issue of people dumping items illegally, like furniture, at the site. City residents will still have access to the dumpsters but only when the gates to the city shop are open.

“We’ll continue to have brush (collection) there (New Knapp Road) and the county will have their recycling center there but we’re going to bring our dumpsters back to the city shop,” said Brown.

The dumpster relocation will not take place until after the construction on Hwy. 63 is done, a date that was last reported by the Department of Transportation as mid-September.

Shell Lake limits number of seasonal campsites Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Municipal Campground has something that many recreational vehicle campgrounds lack, lakeside campsites with a beautiful lake view. Since the city of Shell Lake had sewer hookups installed at the campground those sites have become very attractive for seasonal RV campers.

During the Shell Lake City Council’s regular monthly meeting on Monday, Sept. 14, a recommendation and policy was approved to limit the number of seasonal campers allowed and the sites they could reserve.

“As it stands right now, anyone can make a reservation for the entire season, so we are now limiting a seasonal site to 10 weeks or more,” said Dan Harrington, Ward Two alderperson and parks and recreation committee chair.

The municipal campground consists of 47 sites in four rows with sites one through 12 as lakeside sites. The recommendation restricts the number of seasonal campsites to 12 and limits those seasonal campers to five sites in the lakeside row and to seven out of the 34 remaining off-lake campsites. The recommendation stipulates that no park models are allowed in the campground and that Site 12, a lake site, is not eligible as a seasonal site because of size restraints.

The reservation policy, which outlines the procedure for following the recommendation, gives preference to return seasonal campers to encourage their continued patronage of the campground. Seasonal campers’ preference is established by how long they have been a seasonal camper at the city campground. It was explained in discussion that seasonal campers are given this preference because they guarantee the city income for 10 weeks or more.

“My only concern moving forward here is privatizing public property,” said Brent Edlin, Ward One alderperson. Edlin is a member of the parks and recreation committee along with Harrington, Ken Schultz, Ward Two, and Chad Shelton, Ward One. At committee the recommendation received unanimous approval.

The recommendation was approved on a 6-to-1 vote, with Edlin voting no. The policy that outlines the procedure for following the recommendation was approved on a unanimous voice vote.

According to city documents, the 2016 campground season rates are: for a lakeside site, $38 a night or $228 a week; center row sites, totaling 24 sites, $30 per night or $180 a week; parking lot sites, totaling seven sites, $27 a night or $162 a week.

Letters to the editor Let’s look at the accomplishments I received an email from Congressman Duffy condemning the Iran nuclear deal.

First, Obama and Kerry did a tremendous job in getting the countries of the world together to put economic sanctions on Iran. Then together with our allies, they negotiated a deal that would prevent Iran from using its nuclear capabilities and research from developing nuclear weapons. Rep. Duffy is pipe dreaming if he thinks he could get the rest of the free world to put economic sanctions back on Iran just to please a Republican Congress that simply cannot stand to see President Obama succeed in bringing peace to the world.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said before the Iran deal was realized that Iran

would have nuclear weapons within a year. But Iran has agreed to international inspections of its nuclear facilities and to suspend weapons development and research. Netanyahu should be jumping with joy - no Iranian nukes this year or into the future.

I also want to comment on the Republican presidential candidates debate. All but one candidate was for increasing military spending, going to war with Iran on day one, cutting taxes on the wealthy, and like Duffy, wrapped themselves in the American flag, praised veterans and condemned the lack of veterans care. But like Duffy, the candidates from Congress voted against meaningful reform of veterans benefits because of its expense.

Wouldn’t it make more fiscal sense to quit going to unnecessary wars? That would cut net number of veterans needing expensive postwar treatment. Maybe then tax cuts would be in order.

Then there are the catch phrases. When a Republican politician starts by saying “The American people”, it means that he is about to tell a lie that he doesn’t want challenged. To challenge would be unAmerican. “Take back America” means that the politician has no idea what he is talking about, but is expecting the listener to supply his own problem colored by ignorance and bigotry.

But let’s look at Obama’s accomplishments. The deficit is down by 30 percent.

The stock market and corporate profits

are at an all-time high. New housing starts are booming. The unemployment rate is down to nearly 5 percent. Consumer confidence is at a six-year high. Six million new people just this year have affordable health insurance and cannot be canceled because of poor health. Are you sure you want to take back America to the Bush era? If Obama was a White Republican he would be hailed as the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan.

Encourage citizens to celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day

Through purchasing licenses, tags and duck stamps, and by paying excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, archery equipment, fishing tackle, motorboat fuel, and other hunting and fishing equipment, sportsmen and women drive conservation funding in the United States. Collectively, these funding sources create the American System of Conservation Funding, a unique user-pays, public-benefits model.

Authorized in 1937, the PittmanRobertson Act, and later the Dingell-Johnson Act in 1950 and the Wallop-Breaux Amendment in 1984, provide funds from excise tax revenue to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Last year alone, PittmanRobertson and Dingell-Johnson combined to contribute

$37,208,337, while hunting and fishing licenses brought an additional $65.6 million to fund conservation and education efforts. All Wisconsinites benefit from these monies through improved access to public lands, public shooting facilities, improved water quality, habitat restoration and numerous other DNR projects funded through this system.

Wisconsin’s fish and wildlife resources would not be nearly as abundant without our sportsmen and women, nor would our economy be as vibrant. The nearly $4 billion that sportsmen and women spend each year on licenses, equipment, lodging, travel and other outdoor-related expenses creates an economic ripple effect estimated at $6.22 billion statewide.

The Wisconsin Sports-

men’s Caucus recognizes the contributions of sportsmen and women for conservation and the economy, and thanks the Wisconsin DNR for its tireless efforts promoting hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping in our great state.

Whether you yourself are a sportsman or woman, today we can all celebrate the many and varied benefits that hunting and angling provides the Badger State. Enjoy this special occasion, and the vast opportunities to hunt and fish in Wisconsin. The outdoor traditions of hunting and angling should not be taken for granted, and outdoor recreation opportunities should continue to be abundantly available for future generations.

More information on National Hunting and Fishing Day is available at nhfday. org/Page/Home.aspx.

A

s co-chair of the Wisconsin Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus and as a member of the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses network, I am proud to join like-minded sportsmenlegislators from across the nation in celebrating the 43rd National Hunting and Fishing Day on Saturday, Sept. 26.

In celebrating this day, we recognize the time-honored traditions of hunting and angling, as well as the historical and current contributions of the original conservationists – hunters and anglers – in supporting sound, science-based fish and wildlife management.

Familiar faces

F

ox News out of Superior has a weekly feature called “Knowing your Neighbors,” which highlights a local business. Earlier this month they visited a restaurant in Ashland, The Platter, that occupies one of the oldest brownstones in Ashland. As I watched, I started thinking about how lucky we are to live in northern Wisconsin, to live in a community where you can walk down the street and see lots of familiar faces smiling back at you.

It doesn’t happen often enough, but I am always thrilled to see familiar faces in the state Capitol. This week it happened twice. A group of seventhgraders from Mercer and their teachers made the trip to Madison and visited me in my office. And I was pleased to see Dr. Henry Gradillas in the Capitol yesterday and proud to join thousands of others as Superintendent Tony Evers presented Gradillas with one of five Friends of Education Awards.

Gradillas was born in 1934 in Santa Barbara, Calif. Active in ROTC in college, he went on to serve as the principal of Garfield High School during the period depicted in the film “Stand and Deliver.” He returned to college at age 50 to earn a doctorate in education,

specializing in secondary curriculum.

Following a remarkable career in public education, which included serving as the commissioner for the National Commission on Drug Free Schools under President George H.W. Bush, Gradillas moved to northern Wisconsin.

In the North, he is continuing his service as an academic tutor and substitute teacher at Ashland High School, advocating for and mentoring many students. We are so fortunate that Gradillas and his wife, Gayle, chose our beautiful area to enjoy their retirement and that he continues to enrich the lives of our young people.

The Friends of Education Awards were presented as part of Evers’ State of Education Address. Unfortunately, that address was delivered under the shadow of renewed attacks on public education. Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, a voucher school supporter from southeast Wisconsin, wants to eliminate your right to elect an independent voice for public education. He and his Republican colleagues want to change the state’s constitution so education would be run by a political appointee of the governor instead.

This comes as a new state budget takes effect.

That budget created a new diversion of public aid

dollars directly out of public schools into politically connected voucher schools. This diversion erases the meager increase in state aid over three budgets. Aid for our children continues to shrink as Republicans send our tax dollars to unaccountable voucher schools, which have seen their aid skyrocket by 89.3 percent.

Despite three consecutive budgets that have left our public schools with less support than six years earlier, our teachers continue to focus on success in our communities and our children’s classrooms.

As he has traveled the nation, the governor has been using Wisconsin schools as a campaign prop. Our public educators are the ones who deserve the credit for leading classrooms that are second in the nation in graduation rates and second nationally in ACT scores.

Evers, who was in Cameron earlier this month to help celebrate the opening of their new school, appreciates the significant accomplishments of our public educators. In his address he highlighted decreased truancy and expulsion rates, increased attendance and more students receiving college credit for coursework they do in high school.

Despite their success, public school teachers have seen their average compensation fall. Unfortunately, the governor, who is paid nearly $150,000 by Wisconsin taxpayers during his travels,

seems determined to reduce everyone’s wages. The governor’s policies are going to negatively affect all worker salaries, not just public employees like teachers.

It’s no surprise that potential young educators are choosing different careers, or different states. Schools in northern Wisconsin have been losing experienced teachers at an alarming rate and are having trouble recruiting new teachers.

We have 2,000 fewer students signing on to earn teaching degrees than we had in 2011, and 12 percent fewer new teachers were licensed in the last two years in Wisconsin.

We are fortunate to have the continued service of many educators who are committed to our state and our children.

Students from Mercer to Cameron, from Superior to Ashland, all points inbetween and across Wisconsin benefit from the great work of public school teachers.

Instead of undermining rural schools at every turn, the governor should aspire to emulate the achievements of these public servants who demonstrate their commitment to our communities and our state every day. With new quarterly job numbers showing Wisconsin has fallen from 11th nationally to 30th, the governor might consider spending a little more time here at home among familiar faces.

25th Senate • Janet Bewley

FUSE submits petition to increase number of SASD Board seats Group urges attendance at school district annual meeting SPOONER — A petition that could potentially result in increasing the number of school board seats to 11 was filed with the Spooner Area School District clerk on Thursday, Sept. 17, by members of Families United for Spooner Excellence. The petition, requiring 100 signatures of eligible voters residing within the district, was submitted with approximately 150 signatures. The petition will allow the proposal

to be included on the agenda of SASD’s annual meeting, per Wisconsin Statute 120.02(1), in October.

Wisconsin state law provides district electorates special voting powers at the school’s annual meeting, and those in attendance will be able to make and vote on motions regarding agenda items. If the motion to increase the number of SASD Board of Education seats is passed by a majority of district electorates present at the meeting, four additional members would be added by election to the BOE in April.

According to FUSE organizers, increasing the number of BOE members, while

ideally a temporary measure, would assist the present board with the many challenges it faces. Increasing the number of board members would ease the timecommitment overload for current board members by distributing the extensive responsibilities to more individuals, FUSE organizers said. Members of FUSE believe this measure will also allow the opportunity for increased transparency and for more open dialogue between the BOE and members of the community.

FUSE organizers would like to remind electors of SASD that filing the petition was only the first step in the process and encourages everyone to attend the an-

nual meeting to be an active part of the voting process and to continue to support their efforts to move SASD in a positive direction. This year’s annual meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 19, immediately following the budget hearing, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Spooner High School auditorium.

FUSE was formed during the summer of 2015 and works to provide support to all students, families, school staff and the community by promoting quality education and effective leadership.

Fall is best time to look for zebra mussels as boats, piers are removed for winter

STATEWIDE - It isn’t every day that someone has the ability to look underneath their dock and see what is happening on their structure. That rare opportunity will present itself as summer gives way to autumn and lake residents and lake service providers start to remove boats, docks and piers from the water. Why would anyone want to take a look at the bottom of the piers?

“The clean equipment that gets installed every year provides an excellent home for aquatic invasive species like zebra mussels to colonize,” explains Polk County aquatic invasive species coordinator Katelin Holm. “It’s often difficult to thoroughly inspect a structure while it’s in the water; however during removal anyone involved with the process can easily monitor for invasive species.”

AIS are non-native plants and animals that threaten Wisconsin’s waters by caus-

ing environmental and economic harm.

One example, zebra mussels, can clog water intakes and pipes, encrust piers, boats and motors, and their sharp shells can cut the feet of swimmers.

Zebra mussels have been found in less than 5 percent of Wisconsin lakes predicted to be suitable for zebra mussels.

They have not yet been reported in Polk County.

To protect the rest of Polk County’s lakes and rivers, landowners and contractors can carefully examine piers, boats, boat lifts, rafts and any other equipment that has been in the water for a prolonged period of time for signs of zebra mussels during removal.

In addition to a visual inspection, citizens/contractors are encouraged to feel smooth surfaces of equipment to check for juvenile zebra mussels as they may have a sandpaperlike feel and are often invis-

ible to the human eye. If zebra mussels or other new invasive species are found: • Check that the invasive species has not been previously found on the waterbody by visiting dnr.wi.gov/lakes/invasives/AISLists.aspx?species=ZM. • Note the exact location where the animal was found.

• Take a digital photo of the animal in the setting where it was found (if possible). Then collect up to five specimens of varying sizes. Place in a jar with water; put on ice and transport to refrigerator.

• Contact Katelin Holm, Polk County AIS coordinator, at 715-485-8637 and deliver specimens.

“Responding quickly to new AIS detections is critical to help slow the spread into other water bodies,” says Tim Campbell, AIS communications specialist for UW-Extension and the Wisconsin DNR. “It can also help control AIS within a body

of water. Efforts of citizens statewide can help us achieve that.”

There are also specific laws lake property owners and contractors must follow to prevent the spread of AIS. Prior to transporting any equipment Wisconsin law requires you to: • Inspect boats, trailers, boat lifts, piers, rafts and equipment.

• Remove all attached aquatic plants and animals.

• Drain all water from boats, vehicles, and equipment.

Nolden family makes donation to veterans SPOONER — The Washburn County Veterans Service Office recently received a $700 check donation for veterans assistance for veterans in need from Maurice and Jackie Nolden of Prairie du Sac. The Nolden family makes “vet bug” lawn and house

Lisa Powers, Washburn County Veterans Service Office, accepted a $700 check from Maurice Nolden, during a September visit, to be used toward assisting veterans.

ornaments by recycling steel cattle drinking cups. Eighty to 90 percent of the materials are just old parts off the farm. Each ornament sells for a $40 donation. The proceeds of the sales of the vet bugs are then donated to a county veterans service office in the state of Wisconsin.

This is the third time in the past four years that the Noldens have visited Washburn County with their generosity. The Noldens headed out Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 8 and 9, traveling throughout the northwestern portion of Wisconsin. They visited CVSO offices and distributed $12,000 in donations for veterans assistance on this trip alone.

Maurice is a veteran himself, having served in Korea in the late 1960s. Maurice and Jackie started making vet bugs in April 2011 and have made 3,200 vet bugs to date.

What started out as a side, spare time, hobby project has turned into a labor of love. The Noldens state they are going to keep making them and donating the proceeds of the sales as long as they have orders for the vet bugs and old cattle drinking cups to make more of them. They come in a variety of colors and styles; some also reflect branches of military service.

If you are interested in ordering a vet bug, please conJackie and Maurice Nolden, Prairie du Sac, are shown with tact the Washburn CVSO Office at 715-635-4470. Your donation for a unique lawn or house ornament can also one of their vet bugs. Monies raised from the sale of the ornahelp a veteran in need in this great state of Wiscon- ment are given to veteran service offices throughout Wisconsin.

Donation helps fund K-9 program SPOONER — Barron Electric Cooperative’s $500 donation will help fund the Spooner Police Department’s K-9 program.

The city of Spooner and the surrounding areas have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of illegal narcotics being used and transported.

The Spooner Police Department will purchase a narcotics detection K-9 and send an officer to training. Officer Chad Brugman said, “The K-9 program will greatly assist the Spooner Police Department in combating the rise in narcotics violations and help enhance the safety of our community.” Dallas Sloan, Barron Electric’s general manager said, “The Spooner Police Department and Barron Electric Cooperative have similar missions to improve the quality of life in the area we serve.”

Funds for the Barron Electric donations are derived from the Federated Youth Foundation, an administrative trust overseeing unclaimed capital credits of former members. Barron Electric Cooperative has served the rural area since 1936 and currently provides electricity to more than 18,000 members. — from Barron Electric

Bear project

I

t is official. It is now autumn. As the leaves begin to change from shades of green to shades of yellow, orange and red, while the humidity and temperatures fall, I get excited about the changing of the season to autumn. Not only is it the season of freshpicked apples, it is also the time for the Knitting and Crocheting Extravaganza. This event was held Saturday, Sept. 19, in Frederic.

For the past eight years, my sister, Konnie, plans throughout the year ways to make the extravaganza a fun event for crafters to attend. She lines up vendors, demonstrations and speakers, along with many other things to happen during this all-day event. This year, attendees were encouraged to make a hand-knit or crocheted bear to be given to the school in Lozandier, Haiti, which is supported by a local mission effort called Love for Lozandier.

The project of making bears came about after I read the story in the Register about how the Shell Lake Lions went along with the Love of Lozandier team to Haiti. The Lions mission was to fit people with eyeglasses. On my drive to work one day, I thought, “I wonder if there is something I can do to help the students of Lozandier?” The thought of hand-knit bears came to mind. I shared my idea with Konnie and she thought it was a good idea. When Sue Dodd, a member of the Love for Lozandier team, stopped into my office one day, I showed her a bear that I had made.

I asked if she thought she would be able to give the little bears to children

in Haiti. Without missing a beat, Sue said, “Yes. I need 75.” She then shared how when the mission team goes to Lozandier in November they like to have a little pre-Christmas celebration with the students. These bears will be used as gifts for the children. After Konnie shared the bear-making idea with Lisa, an assistant with the extravaganza, Lisa asked, “Do you think Sue would like to be a speaker at this year’s event?”

When I asked Sue her response was, “No. But I will.”

Sue claims she isn’t a speaker. Ah, but get Sue talking about her passion for the people of Lozandier and the speech writes itself.

With the goal of 75 bears, an article asking crafters to make bears was published in the Register and the Inter-County Leader. One of the drop-off places for bears was the newspaper office. Each time someone came into the Register office with a bear to donate, I was excited. One day Shirley Hile stopped in with a box of bears made by the Needle Nutz of the Shell Lake United Methodist Church. Susie Schmitz stopped in a few times with bears her mother, Jean, who lives in Altoona, had made. The day of the extravaganza arrived and Sue said the number of bears necessary was now at 87. When the final count of handmade bears was taken after the extravaganza, the total amount of donated bears was 103.

Another opportunity to help the Love for Lozandier mission is by attending the Mittens and More spaghetti fundraiser to be held Saturday, Sept. 26, 4-7 p.m., at the Shell Lake Community Center. Funds raised from the meal and raffles will be used to complete the

This is just a sampling of the bears handcrafted for the children of Lozandier, Haiti. — Photo by Suzanne Johnson clinic in Lozandier. Funds raised from the sales of mittens will be used to supply shoes for the students of the school in Lozandier.

Actress Laura Dern is quoted as saying, “There is so much in the world to care about.” That is true. Sometimes we are called to help with a need in our own backyard and sometimes we can help someone farther away.

Living without butterflies

T

his is the third summer there have been very few monarch butterflies here in our part of northern Wisconsin. For many years I have seen these beautiful flying insects hovering in the lilac bushes like gold and black snowflakes. They covered the ground like a regal carpet. Those days are gone. I have seen three while driving over the last months. This spring and summer their numbers are down and they have nearly vanished. Milkweed plants are thriving, awaiting these little friends, whose young have always survived and thrived, feasting on their leaves with little damage to the plants. Where are the monarchs and even many other kinds of insects this summer? Already we are preparing for autumn leaves that cannot match the beauty of these little butterfly friends.

A few years ago, my friend, Rose, had found an injured monarch in her yard in the spring. She brought it into her kitchen where she put it on her curtain. It clung there. It began to improve, and she would put her hand close and it would land on it. She couldn’t pet it, but she enjoyed having the pretty little thing for a friend. After the summer months were past, it had improved and could fly around the kitchen. She let it rest outdoors for a few days. It was well enough to fly to her hand when she came outside. Then one morning it was gone. Butterflies have quite a few enemies, as well as the weather, but she believes the butterfly went to where all the other monarchs go in winter and returned in the spring.

Every little child finds the monarch butterfly fascinating. When they were plentiful, if you could hold still, one of these fairylike

creatures would light on your hand. Like a soft kiss on your skin, harmless, the experience was good for your spirit. They brought smiles and a kind of reverent aura of peacefulness. One cannot help but wonder at the ingenuity of nature. More beautiful than stained-glass windows, the wings are delicate artistic marvels.

Wherever these insects range, from the north into Canada and down through the eastern United States, to Minnesota, to Texas, and California, their presence has always been appreciated by people able to catch sight of them in the outdoors. Science can lay the blame for their fewer numbers on agriculture and extreme weather and other factors, but all we really know is we don’t see them anymore.

Monarchs are secretive, but we know some things about their behavior. It seems that some die in cold weather and from windstorms and precipitation, and no doubt from exhaustion flying over large bodies of water. Yet there are some members of the species that survive and have young. Others migrate, like birds and some of our “snowbird” people who have more than one home. Those who study migrations have found that individuals have journeyed to the Monterey Peninsula where great numbers congregate and stay during the winter. Some of these go to the Yucatan Peninsula. They have found that some monarchs from the central and eastern United States travel hundreds of miles to the Sierra Madre of central Mexico where they unite with other monarchs and spend their winter in the warm climate, clinging to trees and each other and then fly back to their northern home.

A study of migrations was done by a Canadian zoologist, Dr. Fred A. Urquhart, of the University of Toronto’s Scarborough College. He had studied the migrations of butterflies since the late 1930s.

At first, he had 12 volunteers to help him tag the insects in order to learn more about them. In 1952, his article in a magazine included an appeal for more help and by 1971 he had 600 people tagging. Over the years thousands of people took part in the project. People sent him tagged butterflies they found and the information was recorded.

They discovered many fascinating things about the butterflies. They learned that almost all the males die on the way back north. They do not fly at night. One butterfly flew 80 miles in one day. Populations include migrants and nonmigrants. Those who migrate to Mexico go to the 9,000-foot-high mountainside, and congregate in evergreen trees. They believe in November the near-freezing temperatures immobilize the insects so they conserve fat for their trip back home.

When there is more sunlight in January they begin stirring and spread their wings. By early spring they are flying and making their way back.

Maybe they no longer want to return home. I wonder if they are drawn by the same urge as people who long to journey back to the place where they were born. Do they think of those lovely lilac blooms and the green fields of home? There’s no place like home for the birds and us people. A summer without the amazing monarch butterflies is like a summer without sunshine.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

Colorfest was great. It was a perfect weekend, cool and sunny. We couldn’t have asked for much better weather.

There were only four teams in the men’s slow-pitch softball tournament this year, but they were all so good it was almost like watching a Saints game. At the end of the weekend the teams were: First place, Diesterhaft 1 from Almena; second place, Rice Lake Weighing from Rice Lake; third place, Diesterhaft 2 from Barron; and fourth place, DT&E Trucking from Almena. There was some kind of mix-up in communications, and the other teams that normally compete at the Colorfest had scheduled games at other events. We hope that next year we will have all the teams back in Barronett competing at our tournament.

The beanbag tournament was a lot of fun, too. There were four teams competing in that event, and it looked as though they were having a great time. Cheryl didn’t have a list of the winning teams in order, so if you happen to know who won, please give me a call and I’ll put it in next week’s news.

The Barronett brick was found by Ally Zarr and Kaitlynn Yawn. Good work, girls, on reading and following the clues.

Diana DeLong won the jar of candy corn by guessing the number of pieces of candy inside the jar. Actually, she guessed 342, and someone from Minnesota guessed 357.

Well, there were 357 pieces of candy in the jar, and someone called the person from Minnesota to tell her that she won, but she said that she was already on her way home and didn’t think she would turn around to collect the prize so Diana, who was actually in second place, ended up with the candy. Diana was pretty generous with her prize; she was offering candy to just about everyone at the event.

Jennifer Snowbank was the winner of the 5.4-mile run.

Congratulations, Jennifer. Actually, I really like to walk, but I can’t imagine anyone running anywhere. That’s what cars are for.

There were lots and lots of kids competing in the pedal tractor pull. Kim Vargo gave me the names of the youngsters from Barronett who were in the top three places.

Maycee Vargo took first place in the girls 5- and 6-yearold competition. Sadie Horton took second place and Alyssa Vargo took third place in the girls 9- and 10-yearold competition. Logun Arnes took third place in the boys 5- and 6-year-old competition.

The kids parade was fun again this year, the youngsters marched to the tune of some pretty zippy music from the front of the civic center, past the bleachers set up for the pedal tractor pull and then back again. Each marcher was given a treat for being in the parade. Next year maybe we’ll come up with drums, cymbals, triangles and stuff for them to play while they march. Or, maybe they can bring their pedal tractors to ride. The parade is one of the most fun things of the weekend.

There were seven entries in the cooking/baking contest this year. Wendy Moynihan took first place with maple

Dewey-LaFollette

and caramel-glazed bacon bites with maple cream dipping sauce. Sharai Hefty, who actually tied with Wendy, took second with a Colorfest coffee cake. Bob Washkuhn took third with a carrot casserole. I think Wendy gets to choose the ingredient for next year, and I’ll let you know what that is so you can start planning a dish to enter.

Gerry Chartraw brought in the most beautiful roses I have ever seen for the flower and produce contest. They were pink with yellow centers, and were called – I think – Love Peace. Or, it could have been Peace Love. Anyway, they were absolutely lovely. She said that they are for Zone 9, but that she covers them up for the winter and they are surviving. Sounds like a lot of work, but to get roses like that it would be almost worth it.

There were a few new people at Barronett Lutheran’s community worship service on Sunday morning and we were very glad to welcome them. Pastor Todd did a wonderful job leading the service, and it was so nice to sing the old familiar hymns. After the service the women of the church served caramel rolls, which had been made by Peg Thompson and Gloria Gunderson.

The pie-and-ice-cream social, hosted by Barronett Lutheran, was a big hit again this year. The 20 Mile Store supplied the frozen custard for the event this year, and we really appreciate that. We had about 40 pies, some bars, some cookies and some rolls, and by 5 p.m. Sunday evening everything was gone. Thanks, everyone, who stopped by to make our weekend so successful. I’m not sure exactly where we will be donating the proceeds this year, but we do have quite a few very worthy causes that we donate to, the food pantry, Benjamin House, the pregnancy help center, scholarships, Smile Train – the list goes on and on. So, when you enjoy a piece of our pie, you are also helping out someone who needs a little help.

Thanks again.

Nick Jerry brought his tractor and wagon and gave lots of people hayrides again this year. Thanks, Nick. It’s nice to relax on a nice soft bale of hay and look at the beautiful fall colors.

The top three raffle winners were Steve Bowen, who won the crossbow; Steve Wood from Red Wing (or, as Bonnie pronounced it, “Wed Wing”) who won half a hog; and Brianna Stephen, who won the other half hog. There were 89 prizes given out, so there were lots of happy winners at the end of the weekend.

Tracy Thompson raffled off a board covered with scratch-off tickets. The lucky winner of that prize was Leslie Jaastad. It would be interesting to know the number of winning tickets that were on the board. I hope Leslie will let us know.

One of the biggest attractions this year was a dunk tank. Can you imagine volunteering to sit on a board and fall into cold water every time someone was lucky enough to hit the bull’s-eye with a ball? Brrrr. We had lots of volunteers, and the tank was going from 1 until about 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

The volunteers were Rick Reiper, Barry Zappa, Amber

Bill Carothers was selling tickets for the event, and he seemed to be having way too much fun. Maybe next year we’ll talk him into volunteering to sit in the tank. I bet then there would be some warm water in that thing. Actually, it was very nice of Bill to be out there the whole time, and everyone appreciates the work he (and his helpers) did. I hope they do it again next year.

I throw like a girl, so the people sitting in the tank were not in too much danger when I was pitching. But I did dunk Rick Rieper, and then told him that I drive a red Mercury. Don’t tell him any different, please.

The friendly neighborhood moocher was there, of course. He’s one of the judges for the baking/cooking contest, along with Dorothy Orth and Devon Snowbank.

Anyway, he told me that his dog, which he lost about a month ago, has been returned. And, he said that if he loses anything again, he’s going to put the information on a card and put it on a bulletin board in one of the local bars. He told me about a man who was going to hike on the Ice Age Trail losing his wallet. He lost it at the cemetery just north of Barronett and didn’t notice it missing until he was partway down the trail. Well, someone found it and turned it in at the Barronett Bar. They called the man and he promptly came and picked it up.

Then, another person lost a cell phone, someone found it, took it to a bar just east of here, they called that person, and she picked it up. A former bar owner heard someone talking about a dog they found, remembered that Terry had lost one, told that person to call Terry, and that’s how he got his dog back. See, there are three ways to communicate around here – telephone, television, and tell it in a bar. Anyway, Terry would like to say, “Thanks, Elaine.”

He’s happy to have his dog back.

Oh, now that Colorfest is over, you can start planning to enjoy the Scandinavian smorgasbord, which will be held on Nov. 14. The smorgasbord will be hosted by Oak View Adult Family Home this year. As you probably can guess, I’ll be giving you lots more reminders of that as time goes by.

Anyway, I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you had a wonderful week and that you were one of the people we talked to at Colorfest. See you next time.

Monday morning it was nice and bright. I think we were to be in the 70s with no rain.

They had the Colorfest in Barronett over the weekend with lots of activities going on. It is always a fun place to go. My boys always played softball, so Floyd was happy to watch them. The pies were always good.

Lillian Ullom and her brother, Frank, went to the festivities Saturday afternoon at Barronett.

Arlys Santiago attended the singing at The Potter’s Shed on Saturday night. She always enjoys the music.

I told you about the Minot twins, Tonya and Michelle, who were at Twinsville, Ohio, for the Twins Festival. Now they are featured in the Sept. 14 edition of People magazine. The oldest set of twins were 84 years old and the youngest were 6 weeks. It’s been going on for 40 years, so if you have twins in the family, encourage them to go.

The girls are my nieces and I’m proud of them.

My daughter, Sue and Larry Winner, went to Grand Rapids, Mich., for a Lions convention. They drove to Manitowoc and took the ferry across into Michigan. They drove home on Sunday, going the northern route.

They took a few Glenview tenants shopping one day to Spooner last week.

Pastor Sue Odegard visited the Tullys and Helen Pederson on Monday.

A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women’s locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement, and then asked, “What’s the matter, haven’t you ever seen a little boy before?”

Have a good week!

Jessica Schrankel is excited that they have apple pie, while her brother, Connor, and sister, Tatum, are less impressed. They were at the Barronett Lutheran pie-and-ice-cream social held during Colorfest, Sept. 19-20.

Jennifer Snowbank earned a first-place finish. The fact that she was the only runner did not deter her from achieving a personal best.

Local sisters pictured in national magazine, part of unique festival Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — On Friday, Aug. 7, through Sunday, Aug. 9, the city of Twinsburg, Ohio, was seeing double, and in some cases more than double. The Eastern Ohio community is located about 12 hours from Shell Lake and is famous for its Twins Days festival, which is the largest gathering of twins and other multiples in the world, with an average of 3,000 in attendance each year.

This year there were 2,053 sets of twins and other multiples including Tonya and Michelle Minot, 24-year-old twins and daughters to Cheri and Steve Minot Cheri Minot, Shell Lake, holds her of Shell Lake.

“It was fun seeing copy of People Magazine where her so many twins, and twin daughters are pictured. Minot most everyone looked and her daughters participated in a alike,” said Cheri, who unique festival held each year that took her daughters to celebrates sameness. — Photo by the Twins Days festi- Danielle Danford val. Besides general camaraderie, the festival includes a survey of participants, costume pageant, look-alike contest, 5K race and parade.

A highlight of the festival was when Michelle and Tonya were asked to hold the Twins Day double-take parade banner. On Friday, Sept. 4, a set of twins Michelle and Tonya had made friends with at the festival told them they were on the cover of People Magazine.

“It’s just a little corner picture, on the left, but they were very happy,” said Cheri. The magazine cover photo is of a young girl in costume for the festival but in the top left corner is an inset photo of people holding the double-take parade banner. The two girls in Packer shirts on the left are Michelle and Tonya. Turns out the festival is popular with the media and photographs are a common occurrence.

Getting photos taken with other twins was a big part of the Twins Day Festival. Michelle Minot, on far left, stands with other twins as twin Tonya stands on far right. Costumes are also very popular during the festival. — Photo submitted “The big question is are you an A or B twin, that means were you born first or second,” said Cheri. A large part of the festival is meeting new twins and getting photos taken with other twins. Before a photo was taken, twins would stand next to the other twin that, like them, was born first or second.

“Everyone acts like they’ve known you forever ... everyone was very friendly,” said Cheri. Even though Michelle and Tonya weren’t as outgoing as many of the other twins, they still enjoyed themselves. This was actually their second time at the festival as Cheri took Michelle and Tonya to the festival when they were just 9 months old, too young for them to remember and why they wanted to go again, for the experience.

“It is definitely fun, we can’t wait to go next year,” said Cheri. She described the sisters as very kind and that they remain very close. They actually live together in Eau Claire where they are close to their work. Tonya is a supervisor at Sacred Heart Hospital in the sterile processing unit. Michelle is a sterile processing tech at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Chippewa Falls. The girls have two older brothers, Tony and Eric, who both live in Woodbury, Minn.

The festival also offered the opportunity to find out exactly how identical a set of twins is. Michelle and Tonya did the several tests and the family looks forward to finding out the answer.

Spooner loses to Northwestern

Larry Samson | Staff Writer SPOONER — Spooner lost big time, 6-30, to their conference rivals, the Northwestern Tigers, in a home game on Friday, Sept. 18.

The Rails were in a close game up until the fourth quarter when the Tigers put the game away with two touchdowns.

The final Northwestern score came on an 86-yard interception. The Spooner de-

fense played a good game against a potent Northwestern offense. A fumble recovery on the 1-yard line by the defense kept the Tigers out of the end zone. Tanner Schafer gave the Rails breathing room with two passes that took them down to the 40-yard line. Spooner scored their only goal in the third quarter when quarterback Schafer connect to Tim Meister on a 25-yard pass.

Spooner offense had 169 yards passing, Schafer was 11 for 18 attempts. The Northwestern defense shut down the Rails running game as Desi Fielding was held to 52 yards. The loss drops Spooner to 1-2 in the Heart O’North and 2-3 overall.

Spooner will be playing Ladysmith in the homecoming game on Friday, Sept. 25. Ladysmith is tied with Spooner in the conference. Ladysmith is coming off a 34-8 loss to Hayward. Their only win for the season was against Barron when they beat Barron 66-28.

Shell Lake volleyball teams continue on the court SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake volleyball C squad, coached by Sheena Dahlstrom, is showing up strong for games and giving opponents a tough match.

The girls are working hard and improving with each match. They hosted their annual C-squad tournament on Saturday, Sept. 19. The daylong event ended with Clear Lake taking first place and St. Croix Falls taking home second place.

Shell Lake battled throughout the day.

Dahlstrom said that the girls were just not able to play strong for two complete sets.

The girls have no games this week, but will be prepping for a busy schedule next week as they will travel to Cameron on Monday for a quad meet with Bruce, Clear Lake and Cameron.

Shell Lake JV, coached by Ashley Marschall, will host their invitational Saturday, Sept. 26, with Bruce, Glenwood City, LCO, Spooner and Grantsburg traveling to town. Shell Lake JV is made up of highly talented athletes that are playing together very nicely. Their biggest downfall is communication.

“We coaches get together and are amazed that off the court these young ladies barely stop talking and then on the court they become mutes. We (on all levels) are working very hard on getting the ladies to trust, support, praise and communicate constantly with each other,” stated a Shell Lake volleyball coach.

The varsity team last week played a

tough Prairie Farm team at home on Tuesday, Sept. 15, and then Clear Lake on Thursday, Sept. 17. The Prairie Farm Panthers are a great team that is relentless at the net. The Shell Lake girls played well, really well at times, but had too many errors to be able to walk away with a set.

The scores for Tuesday night were 15-25, 21-25, 20-25.

An amazing night of volleyball against Clear Lake was given to all fans and supporters. The Warriors and the Lakers battled it out for five sets. Shell Lake took the first set, 25-22; Clear Lake took the second and third, 20-25, 21-25. The Lakers showed great intensity and perseverance and took the fourth set 25-12 and then finally the fifth, 15-10.

The Lakers went 95/100 on serving for the night. Junior captain Savannah Soltis led the night with 11 kills, followed by senior Amber Anderson with seven, and freshman Anna Mikula with six.

Anderson led the team in digs with 13.

Local prep football: Lakers lose to Turtle Lake

Larry Samson | Staff writer TURTLE LAKE — The Shell Lake football team lost 36-19 to Lakeland Conference rival Turtle Lake on a rain-soaked Turtle Lake field. The hard rain fell though the game, dampening the spirits of the fans.

Turtle Lake took the lead on a 29-yard pass early in the second quarter. With 21 seconds left in the half they added six

more points, taking a 0-14 lead into the locker room. In the second half, it was Shell Lake who came out and scored after moving the ball downfield. Sean Heckel took the ball over from the 1-yard line.

Turtle Lake answered back with two more touchdowns to make it 6-28 in the fourth quarter. Zach Melton connected to Dominic Hopke on a 30-yard pass and Andrew Martin scored a touchdown late in the

game.

Melton was 12 for 32 passing with 208 yards passing. Martin led the receiving squad with 73 yards, Hopke had 65 yards, and James Crawford, 64. In rushing Heckel was the top runner with 37 yards, Zach Melton ran 36 and Travis Klassa made 33 yards.

Shell Lake will host the Lake Holcombe/Cornell Knights in a conference

game on Friday, Sept. 25. Lake Holcombe/Cornell is coming off a 46-0 loss to Pepin/Alma. Their only conference win was against Clear Lake where they won 50-20.

Spooner volleyball team victorious over Cumberland

Larry Samson | Staff writer SPOONER — The Spooner Rails started out the week with a huge win over their Heart O’North Conference rivals, Cumberland, on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

Spooner started out slow, losing 14-25, but came back in the second game 25-17.

With the match tied up, Cumberland won the third game 19-25. Spooner got tough in the final two games and won 25-23 and 15-13 to take the match 3-2. The coaches were very impressed with how their players communicated, worked together, and completed each pass, set and hit.

“This was our first time playing all five matches and we were very tired. A few players really stepped up just when we needed them. That is huge in volleyball when you greatly depend on the other players on and off the court,” coach Melissa Smith said after the game. “It was a very proud moment as a coach.”

Meagan Vander Heyden and Danika McCumber led in serves for the match with 50 serves and only six errors combined. Jenna Curtis and Danika McCumber led in hits with 13 kills combined.

Spooner hosted Northwestern on Thursday, Sept. 17, losing all three games to Northwestern, 18-25, 8-25 and 16-25.

Smith brought up Hannah Kastner from JV to be the setter and was pleased with her performance. “She did a phenomenal job.” Kastner is a freshman who had to step up to help the team. Carson Johannes led in match serves with 11 and no errors. Vander Heyden led in hits with 13 attempts for the match.

Spooner will host Barron on Thursday, Sept 24, for a homecoming game. The volleyball program is hosting a chicken dinner before the Friday, Sept. 25, homecoming football game.

Spooner/Shell Lake soccer game ends in a tie

Larry Samson | Staff writer SPOONER — The Spooner/Shell Lake boys soccer team played one of their best games this season on Monday, Sept. 14.

The Rails took on the team from Osceola.

The game ended in a 3-3 tie. The Rails led the game until late in the second half when a free kick tied the game. Scoring for Spooner were Ben Bray with two goals and AJ Buckman with one. The Rails had the opportunity to win the game with two minutes left when they had several attempts at the goal, but none of those attempts resulted in a score. Sophomore Rails goalkeeper Mykal Lake then de-

flected the ball as the horn blew to save the game.

Jon Hansen and Geof Hagen coach the Rails. Hannah Ford, Sophia Meaux and Mackenzie Paffel are team managers.

Spooner traveled to Hayward to play the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Sept. 15, and turned in another good performance but they came up short on a 1-5 loss. The Rails Thursday, Sept. 17, home game with Baldwin/Woodville was postponed because of weather.

The Rails will travel to New Richmond on Thursday, Sept. 24, and to Barron on Tuesday, Sept. 28.

Cole White shows his disappointment after his kick goes wide. The goal would have given the Rails the lead over Osceola in the Monday, Sept. 14, game.

The game ended with a 3-3 tie, the best showing so far for the young team.

Defensive player John Hoellen clears the ball from the front of the goal as the Osceola forward closes in for a goal attempt.

Colton Avery gets a shot off and threads it between five Osceola defenders. The Osceola goalkeeper made the save.

Cross-country team runs on WITC Rice Lake campus RICE LAKE — It started as a beautiful week as the Shell Lake cross-country team competed in Rice Lake on Tuesday, Sept. 15. There were over 200 people running at one time on the WITC campus, with many larger schools and small schools racing together. “I love bringing the students because there are so many great athletes and lots of excitement. It is a good practice for the excitement at the end of the season when we compete in conference and sectionals. We had a large number of students unable to attend or compete due to injury or because we did not pull the fifth- and sixth-graders from their classrooms because of the early start time,” explained Laker coach Katrina Granzin.

On Thursday, Sept. 17, Shell Lake was hoping to host a home meet at Butternut Hills Golf Course. However, due to the rain, the ground became too saturated for the athletes to run on and Shell Lake had to cancel. “It is never fun to cancel a meet as many people put many hour of their time into setting up the course and making sure everything is ready. Not to mention every athlete

who competes at our meet is able to walk away with an ice cream treat, so it is sad for everyone,” commented Granzin.

The Shell Lake cross-country team is now in the full swing of things. They had a meet in Barron on Tuesday, Sept. 22, and will run in Cumberland on Monday, Sept.

We want you to listen; we need you to hear, Not getting a new home is our greatest fear.

Two hunting hound dogs is what we use to be, Our biggest thrill was to chase coons up a tree.

We’d still like to hunt but we want so much more, A warm place to sleep; a soft bed on the floor.

We want squeaky toys and big bones we can chew, But most of all we want to spend time with you.

We like to take walks and we’ve learned quite a bit, Not all hounds are smart, this we hate to admit.

My name is Trixie, I’m white, black and brown, Betty’s the black and tan, she such a clown.

I am so much calmer, some might say I’m shy, But one thing we both are you cannot deny.

And that is adorable, see, we were right, Adopting us would be for you, a delight.

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.

J

ake Hess, the great gospel singer, was known to say, “Things are going to get better, get worse or stay about the same.” How true.

We all seem to face three types of trouble: things that troubled us in the past, things that are troubling us now and things we expect to trouble us in the future. Trouble seems to be a large part of everyone’s life.

David had his troubles, too. In fact, his troubles were so severe that he was downcast by what had happened in his past, and when he viewed his future he became discouraged by what he expected to happen to him.

When he realized his situation, however, he asked himself two questions: “Why are you downcast, O my soul, why so disturbed within me? The word downcast means to be depressed and the word disturbed means to growl like a bear.

When he looked within himself at his depression, he became so troubled that it sounded like a bear was growling inside of him. But suddenly, he decided to look upward and said to his soul, himself, “Put your hope in God, not in yourself.”

And when he did he said, “For I will yet praise him, my savior and my God.” His inner feelings expressed themselves in questions of despair and defeat. In this moment of loneliness his faith was tested and tried but not trampled by doubt. Ultimately he triumphed by giving himself some great advice: “Put your hope in God,” he said, “and continue to praise him.” And he did.

Faith and doubt often appear as twins. But when doubt was about to triumph, his hope surged within him and he overcame the troubles he faced by the hope he had in God.

There were around 40 at the Spooner High School Class of 1950 65th reunion at Tracks on Saturday. We had 101 graduates of which 44 are deceased, leaving 57, with 21 classmates attending. Coming from a distance were Jerry and Betty Tidler Ness, Georgetown, Texas; Zola Faye Johnson Sumers and son from Port Huron, Mich.; Shirley Atchinson Pohlams, Ripon; Phyllis Kenowski Smith, Twin Cities; and Dale Larson and friend from Inver Grove Heights, Minn. Letters were read and passed around from Jerry Hines, Alaska, Tom Pies, Montana, Arnie Rich, California, and Darlene Ewalt. Thanks to Mitzie Paulson and Cecil and Shirley Scribner for doing the planning. It was very nice. A group picture would have been nice. Mary Krantz’s daughters, Vicki and Brenda brought her, and Bobbie Bailey and I went together.

Heard that Tom and Linda Tabor’s daughter Michelle Schulers, Lake Country, Calif., had to leave her home due to the wildfires there. Didn’t hear how things turned out.

We are lucky in these parts that we don’t have to worry about that.

Saturday, Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman attended the thank-you open house at Dorie Magnus’ home.

She was able to move in a couple of weeks ago and just wanted people to see and thank them for all the help they have given her. She lost her home to a fire the first week in March and her new home was just completed a few weeks ago. Family and friends enjoyed seeing her beautiful home. Also on Sunday they attended another open house, this one for their niece Megan, and her fiance, Clint. Family enjoyed seeing their home, which is near Haugen.

The hummers must have left, I haven’t seen any for several days. There were two beautiful white swans on my pond one day. The sumacs are turning a little red hue and soybean fields turned to golden and are ready to be harvested in our area. The Wohlks are here chopping the corn silage at our farm and so far we haven’t had a frost and it’s September. Amazing, huh?

Some of Mavis Schlapper’s family visited her. Granddaughter Shannon Kline and fiance Dustin from Iowa came up on Thursday. Dustin was in a bicycle race from Hayward to Cable. Mavis’ daughter, Ann, and husband Dave Pestorious, Emmons, Minn., granddaughter Lea and husband Nate, Elk Mound, and Wayne Schlapper, Stevens Point, motorcycled up, staying in Hayward, and took in the bike race. Daughter Pam and Allan Cernocky, Elk Mound, were at her mom’s Saturday. All went to Pam’s for noon dinner on Sunday.

Congrats to Gene and Darlene Johnechek who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with an open house hosted by their children on Saturday.

Sympathy to the family of Carrol Hennekins, 84, Sarona. Her funeral was held at St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Sarona on Saturday with Father Ed Anderson officiating. Burial was in the Holy Trinity Cemetery in Haugen. She and her husband, Loren, were a fun and happy couple to be with. They lived out near Butternut Hills Golf Course. She will be dearly missed by her host of friends.

Was saddened to hear of the passing of Bernice Phinn, 90, Lipsie Pines. She and her late husband, Harvey, were horseshoe pitchers. Johnnie and I got to know them well when we were on horseshoe leagues. A memorial service is planned for October. Sympathy is extended. They were

Talking with my niece, Janie Lauterbach, she tells us she had her three tomcats fixed at the vets and all shots given. She says her cats are doing wonderful. It’s homecoming week at Spooner. Ryan Lauterbach is playing football so he’s excited. Janie tells us Saturday night, Rick and she and the children picked up her mom and dad, Marie and Warren Quam, and Rick’s mom, Eleanor Lauterbach, and took them to the Chippewa Inn, which serves German food. Janie said the food was excellent.

Susie Pederson had her knee replaced about three weeks ago and is doing well.

C. Resolution to Implement Changes in Administration Office - Motion read by Clerk Olson. Motion to approve by Chair Sather, seconded by Bobin. Corp. Counsel reviewed effect on Resolution 67-15 since we now have fiscal impact. Executive committee’s determination was that it could not be done budget neutral this year; possibly effective Jan. 1, as part of budget process.

Comments were made regarding the high cost, whether changes were justified and whether things would be better, job descriptions. Mindy Dale spoke to the costs listed in 7a on the resolution; recruitment, transition and legal costs were reviewed. Ms. Dale also spoke to the chair’s previous question regarding impact on #67-15 concerning cost neutrality and stated that it would have been a simple majority if cost neutral, adding “hard to say it’s void” but it can’t be implemented as it was whereas the new one can be implemented if passed. Reviewed how job descriptions and wages were determined. Reviewed typical costs/budget dollars for advertising vs. recruitment costs for this situation. Discussed possible additional costs for a buyout, anticipated higher transition costs related to the hiring time line and whether old job descriptions could be used. Ms. Dale spoke to the restructured compensation system and updated job descriptions we now have; reviewed Carlson Dettman’s recommendation of periodical review of such a plan as well as a recommendation that the position of admin coordinator/HR, or similar top position, be taken off the wage schedule entirely to facilitate recruitment and help eliminate appearance of bias in performance of duties. Roll Call Vote: Yes (13), No (7) Waggoner, Mackie, Trembath, Wilson, Dohm, Sather and Leckel Jr., Youth: Yes (1), No (1) Wingler. Motion fails due to lack of 2/3 vote.
