MADISON - Wisconsin’s economy will likely add jobs in the last three months of the year, but hiring is slowing from where it was a year ago, according to a new survey. A hiring survey predicts job growth to be slower than the kind foreseen three or 12 months ago. The forecast from the Milwaukee-based Manpower Group said that 22 percent of Wisconsin employers expect to add jobs the rest of this year, while 7 percent predict layoffs. Manpower spokesman Chris Layden said that net employment outlook of 15 percent is positive news. “But that is 10 percentage points lower than the quarter we’re coming out of, the third quarter of 2015, and also lower than one year ago,” Layden said. Layden said all industry sectors in Wisconsin should show job gains. The Milwaukee area has the best regional outlook in the state, with slower growth expected in Madison. More than two-thirds of Wisconsin employers said that they plan no change in staffing level. - Chuck Quirmbach | WPR News

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER — Two property-acquisition agreements were approved by the Spooner City Council at their regular monthly meeting held on Tuesday, Sept. 1. The council approved an offer to purchase the dorm building of the Northwest Sports Complex for $90,000. The building, located adjacent to the old fire hall building, would be demolished to be used as potential office space for the Spooner Police Department. Bill Marx, city administrator, stated the city hadn’t heard if the property owner, Butch Johnson, had accepted the offer. The city police department has already repurposed the old fire hall into garage and evidence storage. Marx pointed out that it leaves the property next door in a good spot for the city to plan for a future building project for a police administration office, as the current space at City Hall is not adequate. The council also accepted the old railroad roundhouse building as a gift to the city on the

condition that the environmental studies that will be conducted come back favorable. Marx explained that this project has been ongoing with the city for a couple of years. In order to determine the soundness of the city acquiring the property, a two-phase environmental study has already been conducted, but additional studies need to be done. The city has acquired a Department of Natural Resources grant to cover the additional environmental studies on the property. The city hopes to use the property as a park and restore the roundhouse building to be used by the general public. The studies will help the city not only estimate the cost for these projects but also potentially secure funding for them. In other council actions, a policy for oak wilt assistance was established. Marx stated that there is only one spot in the city. That case was first discovered in 2014. The policy lists the steps to take once a case of oak wilt is reported in the city and is intended to curb the spread of oak wilt in the city of Spooner.

Last-minute personnel actions taken by Shell Lake School Board Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL Lake — The Shell Lake School Board held a special meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 2, to approve several personnel actions and a new funding account for long-term projects. In personnel actions the board accepted the resignation of Danette Hopke as 7-12 guidance counselor and thanked her for her years of service. Hopke served in this position for about five years. In other personnel actions the board approved the hiring of Brittany Stumph as seventh-grade reading and math teacher intern. Heather Cox, 7-12 principal, explained that Stumph has an

intern-teaching license that allows her do more independently than a student teacher. Stumph’s internship will be for only half the school year. After the internship is complete she can become a fully licensed teacher. The board also approved the hiring of Christina Cassano as business ed teacher. Cox told the board that Cassano has two business degrees and worked as a banker for 10 years. Cassano also has a teaching license in social studies and is attending classes at the University of Wisconsin - Stout to complete a business teaching degree.

Personnel/from page 1 stated she is under an emergency license in order to become the district’s business ed teacher. Susan Winesburg was approved for hiring as the 7-12 guidance counselor. Winesburg has 22 years of experience as a guidance counselor and worked at the Spooner Middle School for those years. The board approved several items as part of the process to create a funding account for long-term capital improvement projects called Fund 46. The first of these was the long-term capital improvement plan that itemized the projects that could be paid for from the funds set aside in

Fund 46. The board then approved the resolution to create a Fund 46 and approved the creation of a separate account for Fund 46. Bridenhagen explained that the Department of Public Instruction requires the account be set up separate from all of the district’s accounting. “What happens is these documents, the resolution and the minutes from our meeting, go to DPI and then they open up a Fund 46 account,” said Bridenhagen. The board authorized an initial deposit of $150,000 be placed in the account to set it up.

Area news at a glance FREDERIC — Frederic football coach Ken Belanger hasn’t missed an opening day of football practice for 58 straight years. That’s a lot of football from someone who wasn’t that thrilled about the game until about the eighth grade. “My dad was very anti-football. Never knew why, but nobody in the family could play football,” Belanger said. That changed when Belanger was still in grade school. His father unexpectedly passed away and his older brothers, who were in high school at the time, convinced their mother that they should play. Belanger ended up playing football his freshman year, and he was the starting quarterback all four years of high school. Belanger is entering his 50th season as a head football coach. He spent 35 years as the head coach at Zumbrota High School before retiring and moving to Frederic where he has spent the past 15 years as head coach. — from the Inter-County Leader

Scott Walker announced a $1,102,074 improvement project for airfield pavement reconstruction and navigational upgrades at Cumberland Municipal Airport. The funds will be used to design and reconstruct runway 9-27 and the connecting taxiway. Additionally, the project includes the purchase and installation of a new beacon pole and runway end identifier light replacement. Stacey Miller, airport engineering specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, said that the pavement is currently distressed and that the navigational aids are also in need of repair. Funding breakdown is state, $55,104; city of Cumberland, $55,104; and the Federal

Aviation Administration, $991,866. Cumberland Municipal Airport is one of 98 facilities included in the Wisconsin State Airport System Plan, which makes it eligible for state and federal funding. Airport improvement projects are administered through WisDOT’s Bureau of Aeronautics. — from WisDOT ••• HAUGEN — Music, arts and homespun entertainment have been highlighted at the Ceska House in Haugen for the past 30 years.

If it looks like a slush fund and acts like a slush fund … In the economic real world beyond the Capitol in Madison, there has been a fair amount of discussion about government intervention in the economy. Do tax breaks for some industries but not others, grants to some businesses but not their competitors and direct government loans actually work? Should political appointees use your tax dollars to pick winners and losers? The agency charged with steering economic development in our state since 2011, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, is at the heart of that debate. Launched on the same day as Gov. Walker’s first state budget, WEDC has overseen economic development as a quasi-private agency controlling millions of taxpayer dollars in loans, tax credits and grants. WEDC, we were told, would lead the state’s job creation efforts and help fulfill the governor’s promise to add 250,000 new private sector jobs.

that requirement in contracts or track the success effectively. WEDC reduced its balance of potentially uncollectable loans largely by writing them off, at taxpayer expense. WEDC did not collect or maintain data to reliably show the success of their loans. For those of us in northern Wisconsin, WEDC has been an especially poor tool for job creation and retention. Our communities saw a scant 2 percent of the agency’s awards. One of the audit’s most important findings was the WEDC didn’t require or track job creation in every case required by law. Of the grants and loans WEDC did track, the agency itself says less than half of the job creation targets were met statewide. In our area, the track record is even worse. WEDC itself says its grants and loans resulted in only 8 percent of the jobs that were supposed to be created in our northern communities. Recently I was happy to highlight homegrown companies dedicated to success in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the excellence, innovation and industriousness demonstrated by workers and businesses in northern Wisconsin has not been matched by the agency Walker put in charge of the state’s economic fortunes. Back when this idea was first put for-

Instead, under WEDC, Wisconsin has trailed the nation and all of our neighbors in private sector job gains. Surrounded by states with four very different partisan leaderships and vastly different budget conditions, our failure to match even a single one of them stands out. The governor has washed his hands of the agency he created. He signed a budget that formally removed him as its chairman. The CEO of WEDC, who was drawing a taxpayer-funded salary of nearly $200,000, recently announced his resignation. Now is the time for a serious examination of why this agency failed. The respected and nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau has completed two audits of the policies, practices and finances of WEDC. The audits found a disturbing trend of WEDC distributing our families’ tax dollars without required safeguards, reporting and repayment. Among the bureau’s findings, WEDC did not create or follow policies required by law to ensure that businesses seeking tax credits were qualified. In some cases where state law requires jobs to created or retained, WEDC did not include

wardn my colleagues and I proposed numerous changes to the original legislation. We argued for more accountability and transparency to ensure that we weren’t creating a slush fund backed by Wisconsin families hard-earned tax dollars. This lack of accountability and transparency was highlighted by a media investigation that uncovered a loan that WEDC made to one of the governor’s campaign contributors even though the business was clearly not qualified. WEDC’s failure to effectively track taxpayer dollars makes it nearly impossible to counter the appearance of favoritism based on campaign support. The governor and legislative leaders seem content to leave our state’s economic fortunes in the hands of an ineffective agency that lacks the accountability and oversight to demonstrate that it isn’t a slush fund. I serve on the Legislature’s Joint Audit Committee. The committee will be meeting in early September to review the audit bureau’s findings. The audits contained well-reasoned recommendations for improvements at WEDC. Unfortunately, the problems with WEDC may be beyond fixing. I think it’s time to pull the plug on this failed experiment.

Missed opportunities abound f you observed the 1948 class reunion I picture in this paper a few weeks past, you might have thought, “How many tales could these folks tell?” Alive for more than 80 years, they experienced so much history; they saw so many changes. Is someone taking the thought to record the stories they tell or will their aging be a missed opportunity? The photo reminded me of 45 years ago when someone should have woke me up to the concept of missed opportunities. At that time, I remember a scene of my older great-uncle Frank P. Albright

Community voices sitting on my grandfather and grandmother’s couch. There he sat, talking of things that seemed a bit old and boring. The family was in awe of this man, his life and his stories. They were prying Pastor David Frazer from him stories; prying because he dished them out like a bowl of high-priced candy in a room full of children. Uncle Frank made the family proud, not just because he

was a “Monument Man,” not because he was an archaeologist, not that he was the first Indiana Jones, nor because of his work as a museum curator in Old Salem, N.C., but because he was a caring, humble man. When introduced to Uncle Frank, I said, “hi” and went out to play. Many years later, while in seminary, I read Wendell Phillip’s, “Qataban and Sheba: Exploring the Ancient Kingdoms on the Biblical Spice Routes of Arabia.” I was thrilled after reading of Uncle Frank’s expedition; the option given to eat the lamb eyeballs or die; the suspicion they might be killed so the chief could take the American women for his harem, they fled for their lives from the charging

Camel Corps. Last year the movie “Monument Men” was released. The movie was based on the book of the same name by author Robert Edsel. One of the last clips in the movie was a photograph of Uncle Frank holding the da Vinci. And I said to myself, “I had an opportunity to talk to a man whose life might be made into a movie, and I missed the opportunity.” This week one of my classmates from high school died. She had been sick for about six weeks. The obituary said she suffered from arthritis since childhood. For 12 years I never knew, never asked and never observed her grimaces of pain. Another missed opportunity!

DNR looking for hunter education instructors

Wisconsin’s baby boomer population expected to grow

Parth Shah | WPR News MADISON - New data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services shows the population of Wisconsinites over the age of 55 has grown nearly 15 percent since the last U.S. census, and experts say Wisconsin is on track to continue aging faster than most of the nation. Wisconsin is one of about a dozen states where there are more baby boomers than millennials while nationally, millennials outnumber baby boomers. David Egan-Robertson, a demographer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said he expects the trend to continue in Wisconsin. “Over a 20- to 25-year range, the work-

ing-age population is projected to stay fairly leveled. But again, age 65 and over will come close to doubling if not more than that,” he said. Wisconsin has the 14th-largest baby boomer population in the country. Egan-Robertson added that Wisconsin’s large baby boomer population isn’t the only thing that sets it apart. “Comparing ourselves to other states, we have generally a lower population of different minority groups, like Asians, African-Americans and so forth,” he said. Egan-Robertson said that states with fewer minorities tend to have older populations. “Minority groups in this country tend to have a lower age distribution,” he said. According to the census, the U.S. will be a majority minority country by 2043. EganRobertson said that by that time, the population of Wisconsinites over the age of 60 will have doubled.

SPOONER — The Wisconsin DNR is looking for a few great hunters to instruct hunter education in Northwest Wisconsin. Recreational Safety Warden Mark Little out of the Spooner office says, “There is a high demand for hunter education certification and a limited number of instructors to meet the demand.” The department relies on community volunteers to educate aspiring and veteran hunters in communities across the state. Hunter education instructors help save lives, prevent injuries, meet people in the community, and positively influence the attitudes and actions of other resource users. When instructors are not available, people are forced to travel to other areas to find a course. “It’s truly an honor for many people to instruct what they are passionate about especially when it comes to hunter education,” added Little. Anyone born after Jan. 1, 1973, must

Prospective instructors must be at least 18 years of age, have hunting experience, be a Wisconsin hunter education graduate, and pass a background check. “Motivated, ethical and responsible persons who are willing to be leaders in their community and donate a few hours of their time a year to teach hunter safety are requested to apply,” said Little.

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Maple bacon donuts … that’s right, bacon, on a donut. That combination is baked fresh every day at Yoder’s Amish Style Bakery located at 406 1st St. in Shell Lake. “What I do is I come in and I do my breads, then I do cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, blueberry buckle coffee cakes or peach upside-down cakes or peach cobbler,” said Brian Yoder, owner of the newly opened bakery. Originally from West Pennsylvania, Yoder grew up Mennonite near a town called Meadville located 35 miles south of Lake Erie. At 17 he met his wife, Rosetta, when she was 16, and they were married when she turned 18 and Yoder 19. “We don’t practice those ways anymore. We believe, but we don’t do all the rules and regulations that they have,” said Yoder. Rosetta grew up Amish in Indiana but they both left the religious practices they were born into behind. He explained that the difference between Amish and Mennonite living comes down to their dress codes and that Mennonites use modern conveniences like cars, electricity and indoor plumbing while the Amish shun electricity, cars and rarely have indoor plumbing. The Yoders have left the rules behind but they’ve kept their faith, heritage, kindness and their family recipes. “Our recipes are at least 90 percent Amish or Mennonite recipes that are handed down from our families,” said Yoder. They call it Amish style because they didn’t want to mislead people; they just want to make good fresh breads and

What’s baking in Shell Lake?

Brian and Rosetta Yoder show off a selection of maple bacon donuts. Brian makes the bakery goods fresh each day. —Photo by Danielle Danford baked goods for a community that they now call home. “The community is really supportive, everyone is really happy to see a bakery running in Shell Lake and we’re happy to be running it,” said Yoder. Bakery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. The bakery is closed Sundays and Mondays. Yoder added that the

bakery’s open hours are subject to change to reflect the demand during the winter season. Since opening on Wednesday, Aug. 5, Yoder has gotten a better handle on the amounts of breads, donuts and other baked goods he needs for a day, but they’re always looking to improve and they look forward trying different items.

He explained that they only keep enough inventory on the shelves to last a day because he wants the goods to be fresh. “That’s our goal, to make enough to last us toward the end of the day, so we can make it fresh every night and people will be a lot happier with fresh stuff,” he said. The bakery also does cakes and pies to order, but needs 48 hours notice to complete the order. Yoder gained his interest in baking when his parents owned a bakery and later a restaurant/bakery combination. Yoder, age 12 to 16 during this time, worked as the main baker at the bakery and later helped out in the restaurant/ bakery business. “I’ve always kind of had a knack for it, especially cinnamon rolls,” he said. The couple moved to Barronett in 2013 but now live just outside of Shell Lake with their four kids, Zebadiah, Cinthia, Alyshea and Wyette. Yoder shared that they adopted Zebadiah, Cinthia and Alyshea after the three siblings had been their foster children for four years. Neither Yoder nor Rosetta are strangers to fostering as they grew up with foster children in their families. Wyette is the Yoders’ youngest child at 5 and their only biological child. All their kids are attending Shell Lake Schools this year. Yoder’s Amish Style Bakery can be reached at 715-731-0713. You can get updates on what’s in store each day via the business’s Facebook page, just search for Yoder’s Amish Style Bakery.

Lawrence Welk versus superheroes

y grandson, Cole, turned 4 years old the end of August. He is at the age where he enjoys superheroes. For his birthday Aunt Konnie and Uncle Bill gave him a Superman and Batman cape. If Cole wants to be Batman, he turns the cape to the black side that has the Batman logo. To be Superman, he wears the red side of the cape out. While spending the weekend with us, the grandchildren enjoyed playing outdoors. Cole loved to “save the day,” as he made he-man-type moves and pretended to fly using his special cape. When the weather threatened rain, we ventured indoors. Milt turned on a show for the children to watch and it was “The Lawrence Welk Show.” Would it be considered a type of abuse to make a 6-, 4-, and 1-year-old watch Lawrence Welk? While viewing the entertainers from a different decade, I made a comment to the children that the people’s outfits looked like they took a bath in lime Jell-O. Cole seemed fascinated by the accordion, asking lots of questions

about the instrument. “The Lawrence Welk Show” ran locally in Los Angeles from 1951-1955. It aired nationally from 1955-1971 before it went into syndication with new episodes produced until 1982. Reruns started airing in 1983. This means viewers of even the reruns were watching this music variety show before our grandchildren’s parents were born. After viewing “The Lawrence Welk Show,” as a group we went outside to sit on the porch and listen to the rain and enjoy the cool breeze. When a bright flash of lightning struck nearby, followed by a loud clap of thunder, Cole’s bare feet made a mad dash for the door to head back inside the house. With his super hero cape flying in the breeze he created, Cole exclaimed, “Superheroes are brave, but little ones don’t have to be!” Cole McGrane is demonstrating superhero moves after receiving a Superman and Batman cape for his fourth birthday. — Photo by Suzanne Johnson

Whatever happened to drive-in movies?

n a visit to Florida, I found myself in a thriving flea market combined with an outdoor farmers market. A sudden chill went through me. There were the telltale posts. I realized I was walking on the graves of a drive-in movie theater. There hung the speakers that moviegoers would place on their driver’s side car windows, and hear and watch a movie on the big screen. There must have been a concession stand for refreshments, and a projection booth. This large parking area was once for all the cars of moviegoers, who watched the big screen, which has gone to the burial ground where all the big screens go. The expanse of vendors had found a spot for their wares. Time had moved on. It is called nostalgia, the love in your heart for parts of the past. I had a bad case of it, a longing for the simpler things of life, and the fresh-air movie was near the top of my favorite faded memories list. The first drive-in movie came to our area in Illinois at a time when I was fresh out of high school, living at home and working, and dating. A young man might ask if I wanted to go to a movie, and until the advent of the drive-in movie, it would mean the local or nearby movie in a real theater. A date meant attending a movie and having a snack afterward, probably at the local root beer stand where everybody in our crowd went, and getting home before my parents started looking for me. The outdoor movie was cheaper, and on a clear night it was quite romantic to sit beside each other without a chaperone With the outdoor movies we would pile several couples into the cars of

the boys who had them, since a car was the first thing a boy bought when he had a job, and go together to get the cheaper rate. They were a hit with our crowd. The heyday of the drive-in movie had begun and they sprang up all over. They lured us with dollar nights and other enticements. Ours was a summeronly drive-in movie. In the South they were already playing all seasons. They thrived along with the drive-in fast-food service and drive-in banks. America had become a nation on wheels, ever since the end of World War II and our expansion. Business was thriving. Housing projects built homes in cornfields and the suburbs were suddenly filled with people who used driveways, not sidewalks, where they were settling in with growing children in their little cookie-cutter homes. The drive-in movie had been around since 1937, when the Hollingshead Corporation pioneered the outdoor movie concept in Camden, N.J. It only lasted three years, but they grew from there and mushroomed after the war when cars were plentiful. With young children, it was no picnic to gather them up to attend a movie. The drive-in was really great. As a young wife and mother, you prepared for the trip to the movie. Pop a batch of popcorn, fill your thermos jug with lemonade, and get the kids bathed and in their pajamas, load them in the car and off you went. You could just sit in your car and tend to a crying baby without shushing from other moviegoers. It was our style of family night. Then came the decline. We can blame the VCR, and videos one could rent and view

at home. One reason they grew was Hollywood was fighting television for their lives. The star system was dimming, and people weren’t attending movies as they had in the old days. One could watch movies on their television sets at home. The stars were making variety and situation comedies and the series was the new thing. The drive-ins tried to lure people with play parks for kids, and then some went to R-rated films and lost it completely. Another factor was daylight saving time. It made the time an hour different when they could begin showing the film. It was no longer a good thing for moviegoers, driving home at midnight with sleeping kids. They held on in the South. The drive-ins were 25 percent of the movie market in the 1950s and 1960s. Time marched on and canceled out their footprints and they became only a memory. There were 200 left in the U.S. and Canada, and by the late 1980s. Of course, they had their groupies. Many people yearn for them just as many try to hang on to their beloved comic book characters and form clubs to keep their favorites alive. Some new drive-ins were even opened. They say there were 381 left in 2013, but they can slip away very fast, in the blink of an eye. Back in the day, in 1980, a freak storm laid waste to a drive-in movie area in Pennsylvania. The only thing left was the now-showing sign. It read, “Now Playing: Gone With the Wind.” By 1989, it gave up the ghost. There is a grocery store there now. I think we need the kind of entertainment the old drive-ins provided as well as our other forms of nourishment. Once the nostalgia bug bites, it stays with you.

MADISON — Don’t wait. Communicate. September is National Preparedness Month. Wisconsin Emergency Management’s ReadyWisconsin campaign says now is the perfect time to talk to everyone about getting ready for an emergency or disaster. “The most important step you can take today is to make a plan,” said Wisconsin Emergency Management Administrator Brian Satula. “As part of National Preparedness Month, we’re encouraging families to put together a plan that includes information on where to go during

an emergency and how to communicate with loved ones if separated in a crisis.” This means having an up-to-date contact list for those you may need to reach during a disaster and establishing alternate methods of communication in case traditional means are not available. Text messages are a great way to communicate. Phone voice service is easily overwhelmed due to the number of calls being placed and may be unavailable in an emergency. Cell phone text messages can still get through because they take less bandwidth to deliver. Also, calling long-distance may be easier than making a local call. Ask a friend or family member to be your out-of-town contact. You can let that contact know you’re OK. That contact can then share that information with your loved ones. Getting information before, during, and

Strong showing against Clayton

Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake High School volleyball teams are up and hitting the courts full force for the 2015 season. For the first Lakeland Central Conference game, Shell Lake took on one of the strongest teams in the conference. The Thursday, Sept. 3, game was an exciting home game, as the Lakers played very well against Clayton. “Clayton has one of the top volleyball programs in our state. They are very dynamic and very skilled. I am sure they are hoping to make another run at the state title,” coach Jessica Furchtenicht said. She added, “In my three years as head coach of this team, this was our best showing against Clayton.” Shell Lake played Clayton with great intensity and drive. Clayton had to work hard to get their victory. ”I was very impressed with our defense on Thursday night.” The Shell Lake defense played strong against the Clayton relentless offense, playing strong at the net throwing up block after block, getting dig after dig, this made for some very exciting rallies. On offense Shell Lake had 16 kills for the night. Caitlin Brereton led the night with six kills. “Caitlin, as a senior, has incredible court sense. When she is in the front row, I know I will get a smart, consistent attack.” On the serving line Shell Lake was strong. Sheri Clark, senior and team captain, went 18/18. Shell Lake came up on the short side for the night, losing 21-25, 15-25 and 14-25. Shell Lake will be traveling north to play their conference rivals, the Northwood Evergreens, on Thursday, Sept. 10, and will play Saturday, Sept. 12, in the Ashland Tournament.

Playing quality teams like Clayton will only make the Lakers stronger. Freshman Anna Mikula has earned a spot on the team by being a strong and aggressive player. Shell Lake knew going into the Thursday, Sept. 3, game that it would be a challenge to play against Clayton. Shell Lake lost all three games but the team played their best volleyball for the start of the season.

Hope Balts dives for the dig on this hard hit and short serve. Savannah Soltis and Caitlin Brereton watch and anticipate.

Spooner volleyball team loses to Amery

Larry Samson | Staff writer SPOONER — On Tuesday, Sept. 1, Spooner volleyball hosted Amery in a nonconference game. Amery is a strong team making it a challenge for the Rails. The Spooner JV started off slow losing game one 7-25. They picked it up in game two, but lost a close game, 19-25 and lost the match. “We will continue to work on refining skills in the next week,” coach Melissa Smith said of the JVs first game of the season. The C-team battled in both games but lost 15-25 and 23-25. The Rails varsity team took to the court following the JV game. “We couldn’t get our game going and made many serve receive and hitting errors,” stated the coach. Amery took the lead 0-12. “Battling back from that behind is very hard.” Spooner ended up losing game one 3-25. “We talked in between games and the girls knew we needed to play differently if we were going to turn our game around,”

Smith added. The Rails battled back and forth with Amery until mid-game when Amery took the lead 11-18. The Rails finished up losing game the 13-25. “We made adjustments in game three putting in Carson Johannes and senior Meagan VanderHeyden in the game. We rallied this game and had the lead multiple times. Taylor Shutt did a wonderful job passing for us as our libero. We missed some tough tips and made a few hitting errors, but ended up strong only losing 21-25,” coach Smith said after the last game. Spooner will have a week of practices as they prepare for Chetek on Thursday, Sept. 10, in a home match. The varsity team will travel to Ashland on Saturday, Sept. 12, to play in the Ashland Invite. On Tuesday, Sept. 15, Spooner will play a Heart O’ North Conference game against Cumberland in Cumberland.

Psalm 149

Sunday, September 7, 2014 Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost hat do we need to do to receive blessings from God? W Are they automatic? Do we have to be in the right place

at the right time? Sit quietly and meditate? Think positive thoughts and pray for wealth without working? Is there something we can do? We would all have to agree that God’s blessings are not equally distributed nor given automatically as some would expect. In fact Psalm 41 begins with an insightful statement: “Blessed is the person who has compassion for the poor or weak and does something about it.” God cares for the weak and the poor and the oppressed and is delighted when we do something on their behalf. In fact, David says that those who show God’s compassion will be delivered when they are experiencing the difficulties of life. But there is more. The first Psalm also begins with a statement about the person whom God will bless: “...the man who avoids contact with those who have evil intentions and instead finds pleasure in the teachings of the law of the Lord.” As we hide God’s word - his law - in our hearts, it will give us light for our lives and directions to our destiny - eternal life with him. And still more! In Psalm 32 we read that, “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered.” When we go to God in faith, asking for forgiveness and salvation, he will accept us, cleanse us and bless us. So God’s word is clear: If we want his blessings then we must follow his instructions. First, when we accept God’s salvation we will enjoy the blessing of forgiveness. Then, we will be blessed if we avoid the influence of those who are evil and study his law. Finally, we will be blessed if we do his work in his world by caring for those in need of his love, mercy and grace.

Happy birthday to Andrea Redding and also to Kyle Hoppe all on Sept. 15. Have a great day. A very happy anniversary to Mike and Tammy Dahle on their special day, Sept. 16. Have a great day. While in Rice Lake last week, I saw Dirk and Sandy Benzer and caught up on the latest news. Dirk tells us they haven’t had any more grandkids, just have the six. Brandon and Kelly Dahlstrom and girls now have sold their house and are going to ubild a new house in the Sawyer Creek area. For the time being Dirk and Sandy tell us the Dahlstroms will be living at the Benzer’s until their house is done. The Benzers have two sons married and a daughter Kelly. They now have one son, Troy who isn’t married at this time. Ralph Smith Jr. called me this past week. He tells us his brother, Prof. Craig

Smith, is working to sell his brother Truman Smith’s house in the Carolinas. Brent and his wife, Sue, live in Arkansas. Around two years ago, Brent had a stroke with his left eye being affected. Maryalta Cooper lives in Arizona and cares for her two grandsons and her daughter, the mother, lives with her mother and two sons. Ralphie tells us he has had heart problems for a number of years and is unable to work. He tells me he had a pacemaker put in a number of months ago and is now trying to get a pump for his heart. Then it’s onward to a transplant. The pump pumps the blood into his heart but there is no pulse. Last year, Ralph was down to 143 pounds but this year is up 17 pounds. It’s great to hear he’s gained some weight as the Smith family were all think. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ralphie.

We certainly had a bad storm with lots of lightning and thunder. My dogs went crazy with the thunder and we ended up with the three of us on the stairway to the basement. I guess it’s better safe than sorry. Coming to Diane Hulleman’s were Chris and Tiffany Perlt and son Eli and Jackie Perlt.

News day rolled around fast with an early deadline and not much to report with all the festivities on the Labor Day weekend yet to come. The beginning of the week was nice weather wise and thunderstorms rolled through early Wednesday morning dropping a good rain in our area. Meadows and roadsides have taken on autumn’s hue of gold and yellow with the golden rod in bloom along with the sunflowers and yellow cone plants. Some maple trees, especially those with damaged branches, are beginning to turn color, along with some older birch trees. Wild plums and blackberries are ripening. Sue Krantz said she had been out picking. Greg Krantz made a business trip to Indianapolis, Ind., with some freight. Reports a lot of road construction all the way. Erick Parker started teaching special ed at

Greg Krantz’s mom, Mary Krantz, and his sister, Vicki Zarada, visited at Greg and Sue’s on Thursday. Russ and 16-month-old granddaughter Arianne Furchtenicht stopped down and visited great-grandma Marian on Thursday. We enjoyed watching the little one eat raspberries right off the bush. Sympathy to the family of Doris Linton, 97, Shell Lake, formerly from Beaver Brook. She was a nice lady, well known and always so kind. Another of our area elderly gone from out midst. Funeral was Friday at the United Methodist Church in Shell Lake with Pastor Steve Miller officiating. Burial was in the Shell Lake Cemetery.

It’s September already. Wow! Where did the time go? School has already started, the leaves on the trees are starting to turn colors, Labor Day has come and gone and now we can start getting ready for Colorfest here in Barronett. It’s coming up fast, you know, the third weekend this month. There will be all kinds of things going on, games to play, food to eat, people displaying and selling crafts, a softball tournament, a baking contest, garden tractor pull, the list goes on and on. I’ll give you more details about when things will be taking place next week. But please mark this on your calendar and plan to be here. It’s really a lot of fun. We had a really nice kiddy parade last year and, hopefully, we’ll have even more youngsters in the parade this year. The women of Barronett Lutheran met on Thursday evening to plan for our part in the Colorfest. As you probably know, we host a pie-and-ice-cream social throughout the weekend. We already have quite a few pies promised, and I know there will be lots more ladies signed up to bring pies by the time Colorfest rolls around. I’ve said it a quite a few times already, but I’ll say it once more. The women in Barronett are the best bakers in about four counties. We’re still looking for someone to challenge us to a contest. Come on over, try a few pieces of pie and tell us if you think it’s the greatest or not. And, of course, Barronett Lutheran will be holding Sunday worship service at the Barronett Community Center at 9 that Sunday morning. We hope to see all of our old friends who have moved out of the community once again. And we hope to meet lots of new friends. We will be singing a lot of the old, familiar hymns, and there will be time for coffee and rolls after the service. If you don’t already have a church in this area, this would be the perfect time for you to get to know a little more about Barronett Lutheran. We hope you can join us. Sharai Hefty is very busy planning for the baking contest. She told me that the ingredient to use this year is carrots. This is going to be fun! I’m already trying to decide what to bring. Actually, I figure there will be a few carrot cakes and, because carrot cake is one of my personal favorites, maybe I should volunteer to be a judge. No … I really want to enter something in the contest instead. Attention all bakers from outside the Barronett area. This would be the perfect opportunity to make me eat my words about what great bakers we are. Come on over, enter the contest, and we’ll see if someone out of our circle can possibly win. Scott Copus stopped by to see us last Thursday. He rode his motorcycle up from Oregon, Wis., to camp up by the Hilltop for the weekend. We had such a nice visit, talking about all the hijinks he and my kids got into when they were teenagers. It’s hard to believe they all grew up to be such nice adults. Scott, especially, was a nutcase. He would do things on motorcycles that would scare the living dickens out of anyone who had an ounce of common sense. The only way we could watch him was with our eyes shut. And now, he’s a mature, responsible adult. Miracles do happen. He’s even into gardening, and asked all kinds of questions about growing tomatoes and stuff. We pretended to know the answers. So, anyway, I guess the moral to this story is, if you have teenagers at home, don’t give up. Eventually they do become fine, upstanding citizens. Tom and Audrey Cusick, Bill and Debbie Carothers, Rick and Joan Stetler and Tom and Judy Weston traveled to St. Paul on Tuesday, Sept. 1, to attend a Saints baseball game. We saw Tom and Audrey later that week at the Red Brick, and they said it was absolutely great. They said that the Saints stadium is simple to drive to, that it’s a beautiful open-air stadium and that it was fun cheering the Saints on. They said that they would much rather go to see a Saints game than the Twins. The season is almost over now, but maybe we’ll remember that for next spring. Duane and I had a wonderful 24th anniversary last Tuesday. We went down to the Minnesota State Fair and looked at just about every exhibit, ate a lot of food that wasn’t good for us and rode the Skyride so we could look down and see if there was anything we missed. Actually, the reason we saw so many things was because we were lost most of the time and just wandered aimlessly around looking at stuff. It’s amazing how turned around we got, even though we had a map of the fairgrounds in our hands most of the time. The main reason we go to the fair is to go through the horticulture building. This year I was looking for something to make cutting French-style green beans a little easier. Well, we didn’t find that, but we did find something to make pruning the fruit trees a lot easier. Made the whole trip worthwhile. We had such

a good time, but we were exhausted by the time we finally got home again. Richard Pieper called us on Thursday morning to tell us some very exciting news. He was one of the people to receive an award at Jennie-O this past week. Richard has been working there for about a year now, and he loves his job and the people he works with. He was very proud of receiving the award, and I’m sure he will be hanging it in a prominent place in his home. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Terry Goodrich, aka the friendly neighborhood moocher, is getting old. He was at work the other day, and the place he works is very noisy – hammering going on, radios being played too loud, air tools running – you get the picture. Anyway, he was walking by two new guys a couple of days ago, and he heard one of them asking, “What’s the difference between the red and yellow arrows?” Terry came back with something like, “I didn’t even see anyone shooting at us.” Then he started to explain that the yellow arrows mean caution, and the guy who asked the question interrupted him and said, “No, no, I said air hose not arrows.” Hmmm. Terry tried his best to blame his loss of hearing on the noise in the background and the fact that he was wearing ear plugs, but we all know that it’s mostly an age thing. Welcome to the club, Terry. It really doesn’t get any better from here on out. He seems to have impressed the new guys. The next day they were telling everyone that he came back with that snappy answer and “didn’t even miss a beat.” Oh, and yes, CJ the moocher is still around. In fact, one of the people in the office even felt sorry enough for him that she brought him home(Aug. 26, Sept. 2, 9) made cookies. STATE OF WISCONSIN And speaking of cookies, CIRCUIT COURT Bill Gill must have some WASHBURN COUNTY kind of cookie-detection deIN THE MATTER OF THE vice.

Shell Lake Elementary to receive learning center grant MADISON — The Shell Lake School District is among 22 school districts sharing $1.6 million in 21st Century Community Learning Center funds for the 2015-2016 school year. Shell Lake Elementary will receive $75,000 for the afterschool program. “Keeping kids engaged in academic, leadership and community-service activities after the formal school day contributes to better attendance and classroom learning,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers. “The skills taught through community learning center programs fortify students’ academic progress and help prepare them to graduate college and career ready.” Centers, which can be located in elementary or secondary schools or other similarly accessible facilities, provide a range of services to support student learning and development. These may include tutoring and mentoring; homework help; academic enrichment, such as hands-on science or technology programs; com-

munity service opportunities; and music, arts, sports and cultural activities. Programming through 21st Century Community Learning Centers is designed to improve student achievement, attendance and behavior by providing enriching activities for youth during out-of-school hours. Recipients may use funds to support before-school, weekend and summer activities as well as after-school programs. In addition to academic support, sites provide adult family members with activities that promote engagement in their children’s education and individual skill development such as adult learning and parental skill building. CLC programs are often aligned with the day-school activities to further efforts to provide comprehensive support in student learning. Students in the programs also participate in recreation and a wide range of youth development activities designed to provide experiences and learning opportunities that may not be available otherwise. — from WDPI

Drivers should be patient, cautious, attentive as school year starts State Patrol Law of the Month SPOONER — At the start of the school year, students are not the only ones who need to recall what they learned just a few months ago. Drivers also need to remember some important lessons. “Drivers must be cautious when approaching students who are walking or riding bikes. They also will need to be careful around school buses that are loading or unloading passengers,” said Lt. Dori Petznick of the Wisconsin State Patrol, Northwest Region.

Stop for school buses Wisconsin law requires drivers to stop a minimum of 20 feet from a stopped school bus with its red warning lights flashing. Drivers must stop whether the bus is on their side of the road, on the opposite side of the road, or at an intersection they are approaching. However, drivers are not required to stop for a school bus if they are traveling in the opposite direction on the other side of a divided roadway separated by a median or other physical barrier. When they are passed illegally, school bus drivers are

authorized to report the violator to a law enforcement agency and a citation may be issued. The owner of the vehicle, who might not be the offending driver, will then be responsible for paying the citation. A citation for failure to stop for a school bus costs $326.50 with four demerit points. If reported by a school bus driver, the vehicle owner’s liability for the illegal passing of a bus costs $326.50 with no demerit points.

Students walking to school State law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians: • Who have started crossing an intersection or crosswalk on a walk signal or on a green light if there’s no walk signal. • Who are crossing the road within a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection where there are no traffic lights or control signals. • When a vehicle is crossing a sidewalk or entering an alley or driveway. In addition, drivers may not legally overtake and pass any vehicle that has stopped for pedestrians at an intersection or crosswalk. Drivers who fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians who are legally crossing roadways may be issued ci-

tations that cost approximately $175 to $326, depending on the type of violation, along with four demerit points on their license. The cost of the citation increases if it’s the second violation within one year. A citation for passing a vehicle that is stopped for pedestrians costs $326.50 with three demerit points. Students biking to school When drivers are passing bicycles traveling in the same direction, they must leave a safe distance of no less than 3 feet of clearance and must maintain that clearance until they have safely passed the bicycle. A violation of the state law that requires drivers to overtake and pass bicyclists safely costs a total of $200.50 with three demerit points. The cost for a second violation within four years increases to $263.50 with three points. Petznick said, “As another school year begins, we are asking drivers to be patient, cautious and attentive whenever they are near students who are walking, biking or riding a bus.” — from WSP

Duffy, commentator wife analyze Trump’s campaign surge

U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., pictured left, and his wife, activist and commentator Rachel Campos-Duffy. - Wikimedia Commons some of his rhetoric alienates Hispanics. But, she said that most Hispanics want better border security and want dangerous immigrants deported. “Most Hispanics, whether they are U.S. citizens or immigrants, do not want to be lumped in with the felons who are coming across. I think that we should get rid of the felons, and those who are dangerous ... because what it’s doing, is it’s tainting the good people who are coming up here, just to work, just for opportunity,” she said. Campos-Duffy is the national spokesperson for the LIBRE Initiative, which has a goal of empowering Hispanics. She has appeared on Fox News and ABC’s “The View.” She has endorsed Gov. Scott Walker for president.

Glen Moberg | WPR News STATEWIDE - U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., said that he believes frustration with Republican leaders in Congress is fueling the popularity of presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Duffy said that many conservatives think more should be done to block President Barack Obama’s executive actions. Duffy, who represents northern Wisconsin’s sprawling 7th Congressional District, said Trump is leading in the polls because he’s voicing the frustration of conservatives who think the president has overstepped his bounds and Republican congressional leaders haven’t done enough to stop him. “There are some people in the leadership positions that could be far more vocal on the abuses from this administration and they haven’t been,” he said. “And when you have a candidate who steps up and is boldly speaking and saying things that the conservative wing had wished that their leaders would say, they get behind him.” Duffy said that Trump isn’t a real conservative and predicts that he won’t get the nomination. Meanwhile, Duffy’s wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, said she believes part of Trump’s message is resonating with the Hispanic community and most Hispanics are concerned about criminals crossing the border. Campos-Duffy, who is a activist and commentator in her own right, said Trump is a “mixed bag,” and that
