Gary King | Register editor SHELL LAKE - Funeral services were held Saturday, Aug. 30, for Darrell Aderman, 83, founder of the Shell Lake Arts Center, a nationally renowned summer camp which has brought well-known, accomplished musicians to this community over the years to teach music to students and adults, highlighted by legendary jazz and jam sessions and concerts. The entire community of Shell Lake came together nearly five decades ago to support Aderman’s dream of creating a stage band clinic for high school students and adults, bringing together the most talented musicians available with the stunning beauty of the Wisconsin North Woods, namely Shell Lake itself. Aderman’s idea came to him when he was

working summers on his master ’s degree in music at the University of Wisconsin in 1965. When he proposed his idea to UW officials, they immediately warmed to the possibility of having an Extension center in the northwestern part of the state but wondered about the lack Darrell Aderman of dormitory space. Aderman returned home and formed the Shell Lake Development Corporation and city residents immediately got behind the project by allowing the bank to use their personal savings accounts as collateral to make an $80,000 loan possible for the construction of housing for the proposed center. The city and school district gave a long-term lease on land adjacent to the former high school, so that the school’s classrooms and cafeteria could be used. Many local residents even pitched in with labor on the construction of the 140-person dormitory that would become part of what was then called the Indianhead Arts Center. Then Gov. Warren Knowles spoke at the dedication of the center on May 31, 1969. Amidst the celebration was the underlying problem of how to get students enrolled for that summer - on such short notice. The community again provided the answer. Business owners, individuals and churches pitched in with donations and fundraisers for more than enough scholarships that first summer. Besides music, the center taught art and aquatic skills to junior high and high school

students during its six-week run each summer. But music instruction and performances was the big draw. Over the years some prestigious names in the music world taught at the center, including musicians who played with such notables as Bing Crosby, the Paul Whiteman Orchestra, Frank Sinatra, Spike Jones, the Dukes of Dixieland and others. Each instructor was an educator and performing artist and the fundamentals of music were always first and foremost, according to Aderman. “As a high school band director, he (Aderman) loved to work with the students and encourage them to take band all through their school years,” said Joe Fitzgerald, Spooner School’s longtime band teacher and director, who has fond memories of the summers at the camp which was highlighted by concerts and the “meeting and socializing with the fantastic teachers who came to perform and teach.”
Dreamer with enthusiasm In liner notes of an album recorded at the arts center, titled “That’s It!” Aderman was described as, “A dreamer with enthusiasm, a man who has the drive to make his dreams a reality.” Aderman emphasized individualized attention for students and therefore the number of students was limited “as to not destroy a close student-teacher relationship.” Taking advantage of his success with the jazz camp, Aderman managed to arrange for then Wisconsin Badgers football coach John Coatta and some of his assistant coaches to come to Shell Lake to teach football to seventh grade through high school students. As the arts center took on a life of its own, Aderman left Shell Lake in 1973 to become professor with the University of Wisconsin - Extension, overseeing the arts center and other programs of the state’s College of Arts and Sciences Con-

tinuing Education/UW-Extension office. The Shell Lake Arts Center today holds the distinction of being the oldest continuous-running jazz camp in the United States. Aderman retired as professor emeritus from the arts center in 1994. Other distinctions include UW-Extension Award of Excellence, Wisconsin Music Educators Association Distinguished Award, and International Association of Jazz Educators Distinguished Service Award. Masonic activities include Grand Master of Masons in Wisconsin, 33° of Scottish Rite and Grand Lodge Meritorious Service Award. The community never forgot Aderman’s contributions in establishing the arts center - naming the center’s auditorium after him in 2012 - and many knew him also as a true giver to Shell Lake through many roles he undertook. As stated in his obituary: “Whether fortunate to know him as music teacher, troop leader, hunter safety instructor, arts center administrator, colleague, Masonic brother, or friend, he always remembered his ‘students’ and their special achievements.” - with information from Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Dominic Spera, a lifelong friend and colleague, spoke of his love and admiration for Darrell Aderman, “I have learned so much from this, how he could bring people together and to work together for a common good. I thank God for bringing this man into my life.”

Janisin appointed new executive director at Hunt Hill SARONA — The board of directors of the Friends of the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary is pleased to announce the appointment of Nicole Janisin, program director at Hunt Hill for the past seven seasons, to be the next executive director. The independent Wisconsin nonprofit Friends of Hunt Hill Nicole Janisin – has been managing the Hunt Hill Audu- Photo submitted bon Sanctuary since
1989. The board appointed a nationwide search and screen committee, which also included impartial, independent members of boards of other area nonprofit partners of Hunt Hill. They advertised the opening nationally, screened applicants and conducted initial phone interviews. The process resulted in 17 applications from across the country – including Texas, Maryland, Minnesota, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana and Wisconsin. A final recommendation of the top three candidates, for face-to-face interviews with the FOHHAS Board, was made in early August. After serving 12 years, current Execu-
tive Director Storme Nelson will be retiring, effective Oct. 15. During his tenure the organization has seen substantial growth in membership and program attendance, as well as facility improvements and expansion. Gary Davis, board president said, “Storme has been an excellent director. Through Storme’s leadership he leaves Hunt Hill in a strong position to move forward. We looked nationally for the best qualified person to succeed him and find that person is already part of our team.” 2014 has also been an exciting year for Janisin for another reason: her May marriage to longtime sweetheart Dan Janisin. Nikki grew up in the Cameron/Rice Lake
area, attended college at UW-Barron County, transferred to and graduated from UW-Eau Claire; and she worked at Hunt Hill as a summer staff member for two years. She also worked at two other nature centers – Beaver Creek Reserve, in Fall Creek, and Crow’s Neck Recreation and Environmental Center in Mississippi before returning to Hunt Hill as program director in 2008. During her very successful tenure as program director, the number of programs offered at Hunt Hill, their variety of themes, the quality of the environmental education, the overall attendance and Hunt Hill membership have all increased dramatically. — from Hunt Hill

Letters to the editor Supporting Kelly Westlund Kelly Westlund — a positive and forward-looking congressional representative for the people of the 7th Congressional District and our country. Westlund would be a representative that truly understands and supports the issues of those of us living in the 7th Congressional District. For example, Westlund supports raising the minimum wage, extending unemployment compensation and equal pay for women. Congressman Sean Duffy supports none of these issues and has one of the most antiwomen voting records in Congress. When the middle class and working poor are able to earn more money, it is
spent, and therefore an economic stimulus. The middle class is the true job creators. The additional money would also help lift the working poor out of poverty. When the wealthy receive a tax cut, this money is not recirculated. Since Westlund grew up in a military family, she will work hard to make sure that America follows through on its promises to veterans. Veterans will be taken care of during and after their years of service. Veterans issues are close to Westlund’s heart. Because of Westlund’s background in conflict resolution and being a smallbusiness owner, she has worked with
family farmers, local governments and other small businesses to promote economic and community development. We definitely need that skill set in our present Congress. Education is the future of our country and is the great equalizer in society. Therefore, she strongly believes something needs to be done regarding college debt and making college more affordable. She will work to help our young people secure a better future. Everyone in this country, without exception, should be guaranteed affordable health care, and Westlund supports that. Westlund believes when Congress
passes bills they must be paid when they come due. Duffy voted for a government shutdown, because he did not want to pay those bills. That cost our country $24 billion. That amount of money could have been used to help people in so many ways. What does Duffy support, his very wealthy campaign supporters and big banks. Vote for Kelly Westlund as our 7th Congressional representative. She will be for people and will move our country forward. Please vote Nov. 4. Dee M. Taylor Rice Lake

Wisconsin Humanities Council grants workshop to help bring ideas to life Rice Lake event includes presentation about local musician Otto Rindlisbacher MADISON — The Wisconsin Humanities Council will sponsor a workshop to aid in the development and submission of grant proposals to their organization. The event, to take place on Friday, Sept. 19, at UW-Barron County in Rice Lake, is joined by a presentation on Otto Rindlisbacher, the Wisconsin musician and lumberjack whose music captured the spirit of Wisconsin in the ‘30s and ‘40s. Dena Wortzel, WHC executive director; Mark Livengood, grant program director; and Kathy Laasko, Northern Wisconsin
representative, will lead the workshop, which takes place from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Cedarside Conference Room in the UWBC Student Center. The workshop will offer citizens of Northwest Wisconsin practical advice on the various stages of assembling a project about history and culture: from generating ideas, to gathering team members, to writing a strong proposal. Jim Leary, co-director of the Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures at UW-Madison, will join WHC staff to offer his advice on collaborating with humanities scholars. In the evening, Leary will offer his presentation, “Otto Rindlisbacher and the Wisconsin Lumberjacks: Rice Lake’s Contribution to the Archive of American Folksong,” in the Riverside Café at the Student
Center from 7-8:30 p.m. Leary, himself a Rice Lake native, will utilize recordings, photographs and film footage to tell the story of this significant traditional musician, while also offering attendees an example of the type of inventive programs that the WHC supports. “Humanities Council grants have funded a number of excellent projects in Northwest Wisconsin,” says Wortzel. “We hope this workshop and presentation will help to spark even more.” For more information, contact Livengood at rlivengood@wisc.edu.

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Surrounded by soybean fields, bordered by woods, the K and T Archery shop is a hunter’s paradise. “He has always wanted to own an archery shop. When Butch’s Archery used to be in Spooner, they used to be good friends and Tony was just inspired by that,” said Kelle Frey. Kelle and Tony Frey opened the archery shop in July just south of Shell Lake on CTH D in the Town of Sarona to fulfill Tony’s personal dream of operating his own archery shop. “My husband is a hunter so he is all excited about these crossbows being legalized ... and he loves to hunt, he can’t wait,” said Kelle. Tony operates Frey Electric but is an avid hunter, enjoying trips out West for game, hunting whitetail, bear and turkey locally. “I am passionate about archery hunting,” said Tony. This fall new laws have been established, legalizing the use of a crossbow for all hunters. The change has generated some excitement in the hunting community and the Freys are prepared with a selection of Excalibur and Velocity crossbows in stock. “We have all the accessories that they can imagine,” said Kelle. The shop of-

fers targets, an assortment of calls, blinds, scent killer, lures, mineral licks, broadheads and targets in stock, with more items to come. They also plan to offer ammunition, additional bow manufacturers and the ability to sell hunting licenses out of the shop. “We can order anything too, anything someone wants that we don’t have, we can order it,” she said. Kelle manages the shop full time with Tony’s help, but Tony also does repair work for most types of bows out of the shop. “Every penny we make we invest back into this place,” said Tony. K and T Archery is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The shop will have extended hours during the upcoming hunting seasons. “We have been getting continuous customers, it is looking like it is going to be good, so far so good,” Kelle said. K and T Archery can be reached at 715-469-3310 or kandtarchery@yahoo.com.

RICE LAKE — The Rice Lake City Council moved to end the native plants demonstration in the Main Street boulevard during their recent meeting. A compromise allowing for a 50-foot project area in the middle of the 250-foot boulevard was recommended to the council by the Rice Lake Rotary Club, the Rice Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District and the Parks, Recreation and Cemeteries Board. But the public negativity toward the demo proved to be too much to ignore. “People are concerned with the appearance it gives Rice Lake as a first impression and a lasting impression,” said Mayor Steve Harrington, adding that the boulevard is the subject of more complaints than anything else. In June 2011, approximately 60 volunteers worked to establish the native
plant demonstration, which was funded by grants and donations. The project was conceived as a way to show the waterside property owners alternatives to mowing grass down to the shoreline. Compared to cut grass, native plants hold soil and absorb water and nutrients more effectively. The plants will likely be transplanted to Indian Mounds Park and the Main Street Bridge this fall. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• RICE LAKE — The Rice Lake Board of Education approved the concept of an on-site health clinic for district employees and their families and heard of possible sites at its regular meeting held Monday, Aug. 25.

plan to set up a clinic, not the actual contract with CareHere, as negotiations are still in the works. When asked about operating expenses, Blackaller said the first operational year is paid for from savings in the health plan, which includes roughly $35,000 in start-up expenses. He said the district also has flexibility on how it wants the clinic staffed, although it primarily depends on the number of people who use it. He predicts a district of Rice Lake’s size will have a physician, physician’s assistant or a nurse practitioner and a nurse. It would be up to the district if the clinic would be limited to active employees or could open to retirees as well. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype •••

Ten-year anniversary
I
t was Sept. 1, 2004, that InterCounty Cooperative Publishing Association purchased the Washburn County Register from Eric and Theresa Jensen. ICCPA is located in Frederic and publishes the Inter-County Leader newspaper in addition to five Advertisers – the Yellow Papers. For the Shell Lake area the Advertiser is the Wild Rivers North. To the best of my knowledge, the Register and the Inter-County Leader are the only newspapers that are owned by a cooperative. The Register newspaper began in 1889. The Inter-County Leader started in 1933 when a group of local farmers each contributed $5 to create a newspaper that would lend a forum to
their concerns, some of which related to market prices which saw a serious decline during that Depression Era. Those who subscribe to either the Register or the Leader qualify to become a voting stockholder of the cooperative with a $5 contribution. Stockholders receive no dividends but have an opportunity for input at the annual meeting and elect, yearly, two members to a five-member board, which oversees the cooperative’s operation.
Since purchasing the Register 10 years ago, still serving on ICCPA Board are Janet Oachs, Grantsburg; Charles Johnson, Trade Lake; and Merlin Johnson, Grantsburg. Coming onto the board in more recent years are Ann Fawver, Luck; and Richard Erickson, Grantsburg. Shell Lake has seen a few changes in the past 10 years. Within the first fall that ICCPA published the Register, Becky Lawrence of Becky’s Food & Spirits moved to Florida. John and Peggy Pockat sold Pockat Funeral Home to Bill and Elissa Skinner. Lisa and Barb Haynes opened Organized Chaos. The Lakers volleyball team was conference champs, and the Lakers football team
was defeating each team they played, making it all the way to state competition. As the Register celebrates an anniversary, the staff looks forward to continuing to bring you coverage of events happening in your community. The newspaper office is still located in Lake Mall on Shell Lake’s Fifth Avenue where we offer a variety of office supplies for sale and can also assist you with your advertising needs as well as commercial printing. As always, we thank you for your patronage. One major change to the Register is a new email address. To contact us via email please use news@wcregisternewsroom.com.
Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Hard to forget by Mary B. Olsen ack in the early fall of 1957, my three small children and my husband and I were living on a farm in northern Illinois. My husband was working as a hired farmhand and we were furnished with a house near the farm owner’s place. The pay was low, but we loved living in the country. The children were not yet in school. We did not have close neighbors. There was no telephone. We had indoor plumbing. I had a washing machine and a backyard clothesline. We had a radio and a television set. We could bring in three channels that gave us the news, sitcoms and children’s programs. The farmer gave us a gallon of milk every other day, and we had a car so we could drive to the grocery store 20 miles away. It was a pleasant lifestyle. On Oct. 4, 1957, the Russians launched a satellite, Sputnik. It was the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth. Suddenly we were launched into the space race. Now, you might think such a small thing could not affect the lives of people like us. What did we care about the Russians? Our president was Dwight D. Eisenhower, the general who led our na-
B
tion to victory in World War II. We had elected this five-star general in 1952, and he served from 1953 until 1961. Our dealings with the Russians were not good. We were in what they called a Cold War. Russia was behind what Winston Churchill termed an Iron Curtain. The news of Sputnik is said to have rocked the nation. How could they have the technology to leap into space, while we were gazing openmouthed into the sky? Why did we not have Earthorbiting satellites? For my little family, looking up into the night sky at the stars, it did not seem to matter. It could have been a falling star. What happened was there was a shake-up in the educational system. We needed to teach our children more science and more mathematics. Our schools had to change. That affected all of our families. No longer would we sit back and watch the Russians make advances, and send monkeys into orbit. We would gear up to beat the Russians. Weren’t we the world’s best at everything? It is easy to see why it mattered. There was the atomic bomb to worry about. The technology had led to weapons that could reduce our nation to rubble. We could face utter destruction. We could
retaliate, if a bomb came our way, but the cost would be tremendous in lives and property. Already there were defense measures taken. The schoolchildren were learning to hide under their desks if a bomb came our way. People were building shelters in their yards. There was a general feeling that we should be ashamed that people who couldn’t even have decent bathroom facilities beat us at something. If you watched the news, you would think everybody was just crazy to compete with the Russians. We should have our own satellites. In 1960, John F. Kennedy was elected president. He announced that we would have a beefed-up space program. We would not only have satellites that orbit the Earth, but we would launch Americans into space, and we would go to the moon. By that time we were not living on that farm. We had moved to a small town and were living in a big old house with lots of room for our growing family. We were keeping up on the latest news about our space program. I don’t believe I had any worries about being bombed by the Russians. It was necessary, for the government, but it didn’t affect me, personally.
I left the defense of our country to the leaders. All that was far from us and didn’t affect my lifestyle. I had a washing machine and a nice backyard where I could hang up my laundry to dry. I had a telephone, which was a nice, inexpensive innovation. But, it was a nuisance at times. You could waste a lot of time with a phone. I was in favor of just calling a hello to neighbors while out in the backyard. I didn’t need the phone ringing like a fire siren when someone just wanted to say hello. We had the television set, and my radio. I could keep up on the national news, but the local news seemed to be more important. I always knew that science and technology were always moving ahead, and that it is important to be in a leadership role. There were changes in our educational systems spurred by the little satellite. A lot of money went into the space program. A lot of new things came out of it, as well. There have been giant leaps in technology. The things you can do with your phone today are part of it. It’s a computer and a camera. For us old-timers it is fantastic. It is possible we have these new technologies in part because of the little satellite named Sputnik.
Barron Electric members to share in solar energy BARRON — Barron Electric Cooperative is proud to offer a new solar project called Community Rays. General Manager Dallas Sloan said, “We believe this is a great way to create more solar energy in Northwest Wisconsin. Community Rays allows members to invest in affordable solar and receive benefits of being an owner of the cooperative. We are excited about this opportunity and have heard great feedback from our members.” Member Tom Frederickson said, “We were thinking about solar, but our lot was very wooded. It is nice to have an alternative fuel source.” One member added, “I have been fascinated with electricity and was always interested in solar energy. I would encourage members to evaluate this option as electric costs continue to rise.” Another member added, “We thought about going off the grid by using solar energy. This project is a realistic approach. We appreciate the cooperative’s progressiveness.” Community Rays was developed for those members interested in an afford-

ron Electric’s headquarters in Barron. The solar facility will be owned, operated, maintained and insured by the cooperative. Solar is the fastest-growing source of renewable energy in America. The U.S. installed 1,330 megawatts of solar photovoltaics in the first quarter of 2014 to total 14.8 gigawatts of installed capacity, enough to power 3 million homes. Barron Electric also offers an Evergreen Program. For as little as $1.50 per month, members can support renewable energy by helping offset the additional generation costs. For those members interested in renewable projects at their home, wind and solar site assessments are available at a discounted price. Barron Electric members interested in learning more about Community Rays should contact Melissa Klump, member technology coordinator, at 800-322-1008 or memberservices@barronelectric.com.

Living Well workshops help Washburn County residents live better with chronic conditions Sessions help people reduce pain, increase energy and be in control of their health SPOONER — For people with chronic health conditions, good medical care is just half of the equation. Equally important is their ability to make healthy decisions, follow their doctor’s recommendations and take care of their condition. Living Well with Chronic Conditions, a workshop offered in Spooner, teaches people with lifelong health conditions to do just that. Participants have less pain, more energy and fewer hospitalizations. The next workshop is offered at Spooner United Methodist Church and begins Tuesday, Sept. 16, from 1-3:30 p.m. It is
for adults of all ages who have a chronic disease. Chronic diseases are lifelong health conditions and include diabetes, arthritis, HIV/AIDS, high blood pressure, depression, heart disease, chronic pain, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and others. There’s a significant need for support for people with chronic diseases, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls the most common, costly and preventable of all U.S. health problems. They are also the leading causes of death and disability, responsible for seven out of 10 deaths each year. “The good news,” says Trisha Bailkey, a local Living Well leader, “is that people who know how to take care of their health conditions can live successfully with their disease. The Living Well workshops are a wonderful complement to medical care, equipping people to live well outside the doctor’s office so they can make the most
American are living with Alzheimer’s disease? Every 67 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s. There are approximately 500,000 people dying each year because they have Alzheimer’s. One in three seniors die with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. In 2013, 15.5 million caregivers provided an estimated 17.7 billion hours of unpaid care valued at more than $220 billion. Teams, walkers and volunteers are needed. For information or to register go to alz.org/walk. If you have questions, you may contact Joan Litwitz, program director, at 715-651-2120 or jlitwitz@alz. org or Jene Morey, Spooner walk chair, at 715-468-7706. — from Walk to End Alzheimer’s
Johnson receives Megawatt Community Service Award Carrie Baribeau, marketing specialist for Barron Electric, presented Josh Johnson with the Megawatt Community Service Award for his outstanding community service. — Photo submitted
RICE LAKE — The person nominating Josh Johnson for the Megawatt Community Service Award wrote, “On top of an incredibly busy schedule, Josh volunteers more time than any person I’ve ever met. Whether it’s with the Boys & Girls Club, Leadership Barron County, UW-Barron County or Chamber of Commerce, he always finds time to give back to the community.” Johnson has been involved with the Boys & Girls Club for the past eight years. He has served as president, on the executive committee and as interim director. Johnson said, “Of all the organizations, I’d have to say that the Boys & Girls Club is closest to my heart. Every year it provides over 1,000 area youth with the tools and resources to become productive, caring and responsible citizens.” He also sits on the board of directors

Spooner hosts tournament
SPOONER — On Saturday, Aug. 30, the Spooner varsity volleyball team hosted an invitational with Cumberland, Frederic, Shell Lake and Northwood. The Spooner team placed second in the tournament after losing 14-16 to Frederic in the final game in the afternoon. Spooner came out strong with two wins over conference rival Cumberland, 25-19 and 25-19. “We did a great job serving and hitting against them,” coach Melissa Smith said after the game. In their next match they went up against Shell Lake; the two teams were more evenly matched. Spooner lost the first game 25-20. They battled back and
won the second game 25-15 and the last game 15-9. Northwood was next on the agenda. “The length of the day played a little toll on us and we started out a little tired and quiet, but came back,” Smith said of her players. The Spooner Rails won both games, 25-18 and 25-17. The last matchup was against Frederic, who had lost one game that afternoon and that was to Shell Lake. “We knew that this match would be challenging and that we would have to give it our all,” Smith said.

Spooner family shares state championship success
Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — Patty and Dale Damon had a memorable end to their summer, but one their son predicted would happen. The Spooner couple’s summer heated up in July when their grandson’s All-Star Little League team, coached by their son, swept the Wisconsin Little League District Six tournament putting them on the path to the state championship. “We weren’t really shocked I guess because they’ve got such a good program down there and … my son’s been telling us all along that when they got to be 12 years old that he thought they were going to win the state tournament,” said Dale Damon. Both are retired teachers, Patty from Shell Lake School District as a fifthgrade teacher and Dale as senior physical education teacher and head wrestling coach from Spooner Area School District. As a family they share a history with the game of baseball. Their son Dale Jr. pitched for the Spooner Rails in high school, being selected to the all-conference team, and played with the Spooner Merchants after. When he relocated to the Milwaukee area he began coaching Burlington Little League teams when his sons began playing. “The whole family has been kind of baseball crazy you know,” said Dale Sr., laughing. Wisconsin Little League is split into six districts. To qualify for the state Little League tournament a team must win their district’s tournament. Their grandson, Dalton Damon, plays for the Burlington 12-year-old Little League AllStar team that won the District 6 tournament in July by beating South Milwaukee 12-0, Kenosha American 7-3, and Kenosha National 12-0. Then in the championship game they beat Kenosha National 26-0. From July 19-23, the Burlington team took the state tournament by storm, defeating Antigo 12-0, Appleton Einstein
Dale Jr. and Dalton Damon are all smiles after Dalton’s team of 12-year-olds took the title of Wisconsin Little League Champions in July. — Special photo 11-0, Rice Lake 6-3, Madison East 11-10, Whitefish Bay 5-4 and Antigo 19-0 in the state semifinals. In the championship game they beat Madison East 9-4. “When it really happened we were really excited of course,” said Damon. In the
finals Dalton hit a home run, and closed the game on the mound to help Burlington win its fourth Little League State Championship in five years. Damon and his wife, Patty, attended several of the district games that the Burlington team won
in order to compete in the state championship. The proud and dedicated grandparents then attended the state tournament in Wausau, driving from Spooner for each game. “Dalton does a lot of the pitching and when you’re watching your grandson pitch in those big games and ... in the state championship game he was the closing pitcher and hit a home run so that was pretty exciting,” he said. The excitement grew when Burlington went on to represent Wisconsin in the Little League World Series Great Lakes Regional Tournament held in Indianapolis, Ind. In the regional tournament the team’s first draw was a tough team from Chicago, Ill., losing 11-1. During the tournament in Indianapolis they won the second game against Kentucky 6-5, with the help of Dalton’s two RBI single in the last inning. They then lost to Indiana 3-8 but beat Michigan 10-1 to qualify them for the semifinals, which were televised live on ESPN. The team ended up losing to Indiana in the semifinals, ending their exciting run, but the team’s achievement remains inspiring. “In order for a team to get as far as state tournament championships and even to get to this Indianapolis regionals you have to have several good pitchers and some of these larger towns have a huge advantage,” said Damon. The Little League organization operates under strict rules about how often a player, namely pitchers, can play. The rules are there to protect the physical health of the young players but can cause large disadvantages. But the team’s success, over these obstacles, makes their victories that much sweeter.

Revised Common Lectionary © 1992 by the Consultation on Common Texts for
Sunday, September 8, 2013 Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost he word want in Psalm 23 covers anything and T everything that we might ever desire. It is allinclusive, covering the mental, physical and emotional
as well as the spiritual areas of our lives. And if a want is important to us, we need to realize that it was important to God before we ever recognized it. David left none of our wants beyond God’s grace and mercy. Even the important need to lie down in green pastures beside still waters so our souls could be restored is important to the Good Shepherd. It is so important to him that he often makes us take time to replenish and refresh ourselves. There are times when he intervenes in our lives and causes us to be still. Why? Not only does he want to guide us, but he often has to guard us from ourselves. Jesus said, “Come apart and rest awhile.” If we refuse to rest awhile we may come apart and then need him to be put us back together again so he can use us. The Good Shepherd loves and cares for his sheep. He not only guides them but guards them. His protection brings his peace, and with his peace comes his promise to make us lie down beside still waters where he will restore us - refresh and renew us. In our frantic lives God expects us to rest in him, trust in him, take time for him and worship him. If we do not follow his pattern he may even force his rest upon us in ways we would not choose. We need the benefits that come from resting in him and with him.

ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK Merdock’s a good dog, it’s sad why he’s here, Our boy was adopted in March of this year. He went to a good home, she loved him so much, That’s why this is hard and your heart will be touched. The woman who loved him knew her health was bad, But Merdock was special, like one she once had. She was a small woman, we wondered some things, Could she handle a dog who had legs more like springs. It didn’t take long, it was easy to see, Just how powerful love and commitment can be. She took Merdock home and she gave him a life, He had no more worries, no stress and no strife. Though she may have picked him, it’s what he gave back, All his positive energy, kept her on track. Most of us know when our heart needs a lift, Loving pets are by far, one of God’s greatest gifts. That’s why he chose Merdock to comfort her soul, But now he’s alone, how can we make him whole? We can help him start over, a life fresh and new, With someone who’ll love him, is that someone you? Dogs for adoption: 5-year-old neutered retriever/ Lab mix; 3-year-old neutered brown/white Staffordshire terrier mix; 9-month-old brindle/white male pit bull; 2-year-old neutered white shepherd mix; 5-yearold spayed beagle; 5-year-old neutered poodle/Yorkie mix; 1-1/2-year-old spayed black boxer/Lab mix and a 3-1/2-year-old neutered pit bull mix.

Winner of A Gift Subscription To The Washburn County Register In Our Town & Country Days Drawing
Cyrus Foss Atkinson III Cyrus Foss Atkinson III, 67, died Aug. 7, 2014. He was born in Shell Lake, Wis., on Nov. 21, 1946. Cy served in the U.S. Army. He graduated with two associate degrees. For 37 years, Cy worked as a technical software support specialist for IBM, where he was well-known and respected by his colleagues. He loved woodworking and playing games on the computer. Cy adored spending time with his grandchildren. Cy is survived by his wife, Patricia; son Cyrus and wife Nicole and their daughter, Piper; son Zachary and his son, Brodie; parents Janet and Cy Jr.; sister Sheila Shaffer; brothers Curtis and wife Kyle, and Clinton and wife Barbara. A memorial service was held Aug. 11 at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home, Cary, N.C. In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory may be made to American Cancer Society, 8300 Health Park, #10, Raleigh, NC 27615 or a charity of your choice. Condolences maybe sent through brownwynnecary. com. Printed is the eulogy given at Cy’s service. Good evening everyone and on behalf of Pat and her sons, Cy and Zak, I would like to thank you all for attending to pay your final respects to our dear Cy. I am Pat’s sister, Kate, from Green Bay. I would like to begin by quoting Mother Teresa. “I have found a paradox,” she said, “that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” I pray that sentiment can bring comfort and solace to Cy’s wife Pat, his sons Cy and Zak and his remaining family and friends. We currently are all carrying the heavy burden of broken hearts and as we take the time to grieve, each in our own way, there will be, as Mother Teresa said, “only more love” for Cy’s memory when our private mourning has passed. So what can I share with you all about my brother-inlaw Cy? He was one in a million, and if you knew him you already know that. He was born in the small town of Shell Lake. He was the oldest of four children, having two brothers and a sister. After he graduated from Shell Lake High School, he served proudly in the United States Army, as did one of his brothers and later his oldest son, Cy. After his stint in the Army he returned home and found a job as a disc jockey at a radio station not far from Shell Lake. He really had a great radio voice. Sometime later he heard of an opening for a late-night radio DJ in Green Bay, applied and was hired. It was there, with a phone request from my sister, that he met Pat. They were married three months later and they celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary this past May. Deciding being a professional DJ was not a good career choice, he moved on to retail sales at Green Bay Radio Shack, but that didn’t feel right either. Finally, at long last and much searching, he found his perfect fit … IBM, where he stayed until his untimely passing. The only caveat in accepting the position at IBM was he would have to do it immediately and leave for a three-month training session in Chicago. He had the cour-
age, with a young wife and not much in the bank, to be who he was meant to be. We are all here to make our lights shine but few of us do. Cy did and by doing so he unconsciously gave other people the chance to do the same. His superior intelligence and passion for his job were a perfect fit for 37 years. He was a proud son who dearly loved his parents. Every year he would take two weeks and drive back home to Shell Lake to see his mom and dad. They are now in their 80s and both frail and they don’t travel anymore. So Cy would take a two-week vacation and go home to Shell Lake. He’d fix what needed fixing, run some errands and catch up on family news. He’d even have the chance to reconnect with one of his brothers. As a matter of fact, Cy returned from his annual trip to visit Mom and Dad last Monday and he passed away last Wednesday. I’m sure his parents are comforted by the fact they got to see him one last time. He dearly loved and spoiled his wife, Pat, and adored his two sons, Cy and Zak, and could not have been prouder of the three of them. But the twinkle in his eye was put there by his 5-year-old grandson, Brodie, and 4-year-old granddaughter, Piper. I’ve been to their house when the front door opened and the little feet hit the floor and the first words you heard was “Where’s Grandpa?” There was mutual admiration in those relationships … I was lucky enough to witness him reading them stories, giving them wagon rides, blowing bubbles with them and holding them on his lap while playing computer games. His passing will leave a huge hole in their tiny hearts. He loved to decorate for all the holidays, both at home and at his office, his son, Zak, shared with me. He was a true blue, or should I say true green and gold, Green Bay Packer fan and shareholder, with his stock certificate proudly displayed in his home office. He attended every single high school class reunion since graduation, whether he lived in Green Bay, San Jose, Calif., or Gary, N.C. People mattered to Cy. He loved woodworking, computer games and a lively conversation. I always teased him that he told the worst jokes, but I usually laughed anyway. He was a lousy driver, with tickets to prove it, and in his mind, Ken Jennings wasn’t the all-time “Jeopardy champ,” he was. It was infuriating watching the show with him because he pretty much did know all the answers. Had he ever been a contestant, he would have come away with a bundle. Cy lived his life with integrity, compassion, love and humor. A combination, in my book anyway, to truly be admired. He was the best husband, father, son, brother and friend many of us will ever know. I’d like to share a quote from one of Cy’s favorite authors, JRR Tolkien. “In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! We are not bound forever to the circles of the world and beyond them is more than memory.” So might I suggest we all say I love you more often? Hug a little longer. Laugh a little louder and forgive that person you feel needs forgiveness, especially if it’s you. We have a finite number of days on this earth and we never know which one will be our last one.
O. Darrell Aderman
O. Darrell Aderman was born at home on Jan. 5, 1931, in Niagara, Wis., to Oscar Dearl and Anna Marie (Boerner) Aderman. He entered his eternal home peacefully, surrounded by family, on Aug. 27, 2014. The oldest of four boys, discipline was first and foremost in his family upbringing and ultimately evident in all facets of his life. He played tuba and accordion, and earned the Order of the Arrow and Eagle Scout. After high school, Darrell attended the University of Wisconsin - Madison and earned his Bachelor of Music Education degree. He was president of the University of Wisconsin Band and one of the original University Marching Band Tubadours. Darrell later received his master’s in music education from the UW-Madison. Darrell and Marion Wilma “Billie” Hope were married on Aug. 25, 1951, in Cassville, Wis. After college, they moved to Shell Lake and built a home for their family. He served on many Salem Lutheran Church councils, boards and committees; as Boy Scouts of America leader; hunter safety instructor; and was active with the Free & Accepted Masons. In addition to teaching music in Shell Lake School District, he dedicated time toward his vision and in 1968 inaugurated the Indianhead Arts Center, now known as the Shell Lake Arts Center. The arts center took on a life of its own, and in 1973 Darrell left Shell Lake School District to become professor with the University of Wisconsin-Extension, overseeing the arts center and other arts programs. He retired as professor emeritus from the arts center in 1994. Other distinctions include UW-Extension Award of Excellence, Wisconsin Music Educators Association Distinguished Award, and International Association
of Jazz Educators Distinguished Service Award. Masonic activities include Grand Master of Masons in Wisconsin, 33° of Scottish Rite and Grand Lodge Meritorious Service Award. Darrell was a committed family man, avid hunter and fisherman and a natural leader with a lifelong passion for music and the arts. Whether fortunate to know him as music teacher, troop leader, hunter safety instructor, arts center administrator, colleague, Masonic brother, or friend, he always remembered his students and their special achievements. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sisterin-law, Beverly (Carson) Aderman. He is survived by his wife, Billie; four children, Sheila (Stan) Squires, Carmala Aderman, Tamara (Scott) Smith, and Mark Aderman; two grandchildren, Natalie and Abigail Smith; three brothers, Roger Aderman, Don (Pat) Aderman, Bill (Marilyn) Aderman; and many nieces and nephews. Visitation was held at Skinner Funeral Home in Shell Lake on Friday and before the funeral on Saturday. The Masonic funeral was at the Shell Lake Arts Center on Saturday, Aug. 30, and the funeral service was also at the Shell Lake Arts Center. The family extends gratitude to the network of family, many friends, and caregivers who made it possible for Darrell to live at home to the end. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be given to the Shell Lake Arts Center, P.O. Box 315, 802 1st Street, Shell Lake, WI 54871, shelllakeartscenter.org or Children’s Dyslexia Center of Upper Wisconsin, 616 Graham Street, Eau Claire, WI wicdc.org or Salem Lutheran Church, 803 2nd Street North, Shell Lake, WI 54871 shelllakesalemlutheran.org/.

It was overcast and gloomy on Friday morning, it was nice just sleeping in. There’s not much news with an early deadline. The purple asters along the roadways and the yellow goldenrods, pumpkins on the vine, apples hanging on the tree, coon in the corn, kids back in school, yes, September days are here. Saturday, Jolene and Al Loew attended her 63rd class reunion for the Menomonie Class of 1951, held at the Olde Town banquet hall with 40 attending. There was a class of 140. Jolene wrote the program and delivered it. The Loew’s grandson, Andrew Haiama of Menomonie, is living here with them while going to WITC this school year. He is studying residential construction. Classes
started Monday, Aug. 22. Casey Furchtenicht is heading up to Northland campus in Ashland for his second year and is taking chemistry and biology. Casey went along with his brother, Troy, and Leori and Kia, to the Twin Cities on Wednesday. There have been lots of loads of wood going by my house lately. There’s logging being done along Bear Lake Road. Sure changes the looks of things. I was a coffee visitor at Bonnie Helmer’s on Tuesday and Jolene Loew’s on Thursday.

Wisconsin Education Fair to be held at UWBC RICE LAKE — The Wisconsin Education Fair, featuring representatives from approximately 90 postsecondary institutions, will be in Rice Lake on Monday, Sept. 15. The education fair will be held from 9-11 a.m. in the UW-Barron County gymnasium. This program, which is open to the public free of charge, will provide an opportunity for parents and students to obtain information from approximately 90 postsecondary institutions. Representatives from Wisconsin and out-of-state colleges and universities, vocational schools, trade schools and the military will be present to
talk about the many educational opportunities. No formal sessions will be held; rather, the students and parents will be free to move from display table to display table around the gym, spending as much time as they wish with the individual representatives. According to UWBC/WITC event coordinators Kevin Falkenberg and Christy Roshell, “This will be the single best opportunity for students and parents to pick up literature and information from the many fair participants at one central location.” Modeled after the successful national college fairs that
are held annually in many metropolitan areas, this program replaces many of the college nights that were formerly held at local high schools. For more information contact Falkenberg, UWBC student adviser, at 715-234-8176, ext. 1, or Roshell, WITC career specialist, at 715-234-7082. Local high school guidance counselors will also have specific details regarding this event.

It was a rainy day here in Shell Lake on Friday. It was cloudy and cool but things got brighter. Our sincere sympathy to the family of Darrell Aderman, 83, Shell Lake, who passed away on Aug. 27 after a long illness. Our prayers are with Billie and the family. Funeral services were Saturday at the Shell Lake Arts Center. Visitation was held Friday evening. Arlys Santiago returned Monday after a trip to Hous-
Dewey Country
Opal Gothblad will celebrate her birthday on Friday. Birthday blessings to you, Opal. It was a big weekend in Shell Lake with Town and Country Days being celebrated. Some things have been canceled but there was still a lot to see. This is a short week because of the holiday, but hopefully more news next week. Swallowing your pride never choked anybody.

This week I have to start with an apology to the lovely queen and princess of the Spooner Rodeo. I had their names wrong in last week’s Barronett news. The queen this year is McKayla Olson, and the princess is Emily Foust. I had written in last year’s names. One of the hazards of getting old – living in the past. Anyway, I’m very sorry, ladies. Ruth Grover hosted a surprise birthday party for Shirley Overvig at the Red Brick Café last week. Guests were Bonnie Fogelberg, Pooch Olson, Pat Sweet, Geri Pittman, Dorothy Orth, Sue Meier and myself. There was a tiara waiting for the guest of honor when she arrived, and she wore it proudly throughout the entire party. Shirley was very surprised when she walked into the café and saw us waiting for her, and probably pretty embarrassed when we sang the birthday song to her. Sharai Hefty was waiting tables that day, so she joined in the celebration once in a while too. It was fun! If you happen to be in Barronett, be sure to notice the new cement Beth had the Anderson crew pour in front of the Barronett Bar. It really makes a difference in the appearance of the outside of the bar. I think it only took three days from start to finish, and it was fun watching the progress. After the cement was poured and leveled, the guys had forms they placed on top to make a pattern in it. When they took off the forms, they spread gray powder all over it. The next day they sprayed everything down with water, and the result is pretty fantastic. It’s amazing how much Beth has done to improve the inside and outside of the bar since she has had it. I bet that if some of the old-timers could come back now they wouldn’t recognize the place. Curt and Mary Kay Hefty had to leave for Alaska again last Monday. We had a great visit with them and hope they can come back again soon. Well, actually, maybe I’d better go on a diet for a few months before they come
down again. It seems that we spend most of the time eating ice cream and other healthy (?) stuff when they’re here. We saw newlyweds Dave and Lisa Langley at the Red Brick on Wednesday morning. Lisa said that they had a wonderful time in Oregon, and will give us the details of the trip next week. The Trolinger family, Jim, Joyce, Dan and Donna, are up from southern Wisconsin and are staying at the campsite by Sand Creek for a while. They joined Sue Meier, Duane and me for breakfast at Red Brick on Wednesday. Deb waited on us, and Jim and Joyce are always amazed that she remembers what they like for breakfast. They come up about three times a year, and she always asks them if they want their usual. You know, Deb has really good food at the Red Brick, but the other things that keep people coming back are the welcoming atmosphere and the great service. Savanna Marsh graduated from Army National Guard basic training at Fort Jackson on Thursday. Her dad, mom and sister, Jerry, Tammy and Sanara, were there to congratulate her on a job well done. They called, and I finally got to talk to her. She couldn’t call all summer, you know. After she told me she missed me and loved me, she told me that I got her in trouble with the brass by sending her the second package of cookies. I guess that they are allowed one package from family and that’s it while they are in basic. I hope she told her sergeant that it wasn’t her fault. She has a crazy grandma who would continue sending cookies once a week forever or until she returned home. Oh well, next time one of the grandchildren decide to join the service I’ll know the rules, and maybe – just maybe – I’ll follow them. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you took some time out of your busy Labor Day weekend to check out the activities at Shell Lake Town and Country Days. See you next time.
New people have moved into the former LeRoy and Laura Cornelison place also. At this time I don’t know their names either. Did you know we have a deputy sheriff living in the Town of Dewey? Yes, we do and it’s at the former Hotchkiss trailer and house. It’s on CTH B. I see a number of cars there and see a for sale sign on the tree there also. This comin’ winter they predict we’re to have weather like last year and it’s a bummer. Yes, it about drove people crazy last winter with all the snow and cold for so long. Hope you had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend and a wonderful time at Town and Country Days in Shell Lake. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

I hope each of you had a very special end-of-summer holiday with family and friends. It’s hard to believe that the kids are back in school already. Don’t forget the Stone Lake Music Night will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Stone Lake Lions Hall. Come on out for some great music. There will be jazz, American standards, Irish tunes, folk, polkas, bluegrass and more. Admission is free and there will be refreshments available. The Stone Lake Area Historical Society extends gratitude to Pat Walter for bringing the museum a new CD player. That was very thoughtful of you Pat, and they are using it already. Our gratitude to everyone who watches our wish list and provides the items we need so quickly. The Stone Lake Community Wetland Park got a nice surprise last weekend when Sharon Paine of Schoolhouse Wines presented them with a check for $80. It seems that Sharon decided to donate a portion of the cost of each meal she served on a specific evening to a local organization, and she chose the Wetland Park. Thank you Sharon. There are still many readers who are unaware that the dump on Walters Road has been open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday until Sept. 5. The dump is also open year-round from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Connie Shields will be available for computer help at the Stone Lake Senior Center on Friday, Sept. 5, from 10 a.m.-noon. She will have the September calendar to distribute that day. Please bring your tablets and computers. Once again, the Shriners will have their ATV ride on Saturday, Sept. 13. There will also be a poker run sponsored by the Rolling Hills ATV Club. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. at Wolf Point Bar & Grill on Gull Lake in Springbrook. There will be a $20 donation to the Shriners and the money will go to the Shriners Hospital. Your donation includes snacks on the trail and a dinner at Wolf Point. If you have question please call 715-466-4582. Have a good week and be safe. Mary Nilssen can be reached at 715-865-4008 or upnorthnils2@gmail.com.

NWRPC was designated as coordinating entity that will move the process forward; their job is to work with Congress (Sean Duffy) in this effort. Information was on the front page of the Advocate this month and many meetings have been held to get information out to the public. Congress is the only authorized body who can designate such an area; there are 49 currently in the US, none in WI or MN. It was stated that the national park service has no control over a national heritage area - the department is just used as a funding mechanism because Congress established it that way 30 years ago. Additional concerns were addressed regarding land ownership, tourism dollars, educational programs, national promotion. Roll Vote: Yes (13), No (7) Lee, Ricci, Masterjohn, Krantz, Quinn, Baier and Leckel Jr. Youth: Yes (1). M.C. D.

It would be a salaried position, nonunion. Supvr. Esser felt the position should be full-time supervisory; this budget is for 2015 and when adopted it will be a 2/3 position.
