RIGHT: One of the advantages of holding the hunt inside was that Kurt Bryant and Harley Isensse got the opportunity to play with the balls they found in their Easter baskets.
The Easter egg hunt was forced inside because of the snow, cold and high winds. That was no problem for the young children as they got the opportunity to find their eggs in the warmth and comfort of the gym. Maybe we are starting a new tradition.

Reprimanded but moving forward Danielle Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin served an official reprimand on Shell Lake Municipal Utilities for failure to obtain the commission’s approval prior to initiating the municipality’s water meter replacement project on Wednesday, April 2. The water meter replacement project was approved by the city council in 2012 for digital meters over the manual read water meters the city had installed but could no longer get parts for. In an effort
to save taxpayer money Shell Lake did not hire an engineer, choosing instead to spearhead the project themselves. “Simultaneously you had a ruling change at the PSC in 2012 that basically stated that if you were a municipality you have to get approval for this type of a project prior to actually implementing it,” explained Andrew Eiche, city administrator. The PSC found that Shell Lake had not filed the paperwork necessary for the authorization of new water meters after
the utility filed for the commission’s approval in a water rate increase on Jan. 8, 2014. The water meter replacement project was completed last summer, but the PSC found Shell Lake was in violation of state statutes and commission rules at the Feb. 21 open PSC meeting. The commission found that the previously authorized rates to be inadequate creating a $62,464 shortfall. The PSC approved Shell Lake’s water rate-increase application for the exact shortfall amount. “While the commission will allow Shell
Lake to pursue recovery of its costs for this project in its pending rate case, the commission notes that it will pursue punitive actions if the utility does not follow commission rules in the future,” wrote Sandra Paske, secretary of the commission in the reprimand letter to Shell Lake. In response to PSC requests, Eiche has submitted a resolution to the PSC, to be approved by the city council, stating that Shell Lake will contact the PSC prior to doing any major projects of this nature in the future.
Longtime board members recognized Contractors sought to repair middle school roof Danielle Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — Two long-time school board members were recognized during the regular monthly meeting of the Spooner Area School District Board of Education on Monday, April 14. Phillip Markgren and Beverly Bohac were thanked for their years of service on the board. Markgren has served 45 years while Bohac has served 12 years on the board. John Ashley, Wisconsin Association of School Boards executive director, personally presented Markgren with a plaque commemorating his commitment. Board members received an update on the status of the middle school roof that was damaged over the last weekend in March. The board directed Superintendent Donald Haack to request proposals from general contractors to repair the damaged area. “They (the contractors) really won’t be able to give us bids on the cost because we
don’t know yet how extensive the damage really is until we start taking things apart,” Haack pointed out. In personnel actions the board approved the hiring of two faculty members and one resignation. Greta Linton was hired as high school language arts teacher and Kyle Linton was approved for a oneyear contract as high school technical education teacher. The board also accepted the resignation of Will Stewart from his position as middle school teacher at the end of the school year. Other board actions: • The board approved not making up the snow day from Friday, April 4, with students since Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill that removed the 180-student-day requirement for public schools. • Two-year contracts for 4-year-old kindergarten were approved for Creative Kids, Little Folks Workshop and Head Start child care centers. • The donation of a 3-D printer from Nexen Corp. and Spooner Machine was accepted by the board in addition to nine bike helmets donated from Bev Bohac and Essentia for wellness promotions.

Bus purchase approved, makeup days changed Danielle Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - A full agenda was tackled by the Shell Lake School Board during their regular monthly meeting on Monday, April 21. Notable agenda items the board approved included a new bus purchase and a new inclement weather makeup days plan. After completing a review of the current district bus inventory board members approved the purchase of a 2014 Blue Bird bus from Wisconsin Bus Sales, LLC.
for $96,750. Board member Phil Holman, chair of the finance committee, explained that the new bus will replace one of two buses, both over 15 years old. “It is looking like we are going to be on target so this (bus purchase) is not going to cause this year to be in the red,” assured Holman. Due to last week’s winter storm the board had to adjust the previously scheduled weather makeup days. The district’s burden has lifted some since Gov.Scott Walker signed a bill that eliminated the
180 days requirement for public schools. However, the district must still meet the minimum amount of instruction time for students. According to Jim Connell, superintendent, the primary school is just short of meeting the minimum instruction time. After discussion the board approved the addition of Friday, June 6, as one full day and one half day on Monday, June 9, in addition to authorizing administration to add additional weatherrelated school closing days to the school year as required.
The board approved the recommendation to hire the sole candidate interested in the position as district mechanic. Jeff Parker will be the new district mechanic, a 20-hour-a-week position. Parker previously worked for the city of Shell Lake for 28 years, retiring from that position last fall. The board also accepted the resignation of longtime employee Paula Parker as elementary school secretary. Parker has worked for the district for the past 35 years.
Volunteers sought for Monday night events Danielle Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — After discussion, the Shell Lake City Council tabled the recommendation to eliminate Monday night activities and approved the sale of cityowned property during the Monday, April 14, meeting. “The issue is that it is becoming more and more costly to the city to have activities after 9 p.m. because we quote-un-
quote got an element that we do not like,” explained Terry Leckel, Ward 2 alderperson. On a unanimous voice vote the city council tabled the recommendation to restrict premovie music activities past 9 p.m. pending the outcome of a volunteer advertisement. In the course of council discussion it was made known that three community members had already come forward to
support the continuation of the event. Andy Eiche, city administrator, pointed out that while three community members had pledged their support of the event it would still need more assistance. The council then approved a recommendation to place an advertisement for Monday night event volunteers. The Shell Lake State Bank submitted the sole bid on the city-owned property
at 20 5th Ave. for $10,101. In a letter to the city, David Haroldson, bank president, explained the bank intends on making a green space out of the property for the public’s use. In the future the bank would utilize the property for expansion of their current facility. The council approved the property sale on a unanimous voice vote.

Coyote hunting is legal in Wisconsin Coyote hunting is legal in Wisconsin. I had no idea of the cruelty of this sport until I viewed the reality of an entire kill executed by three hunters and their five hunting dogs. I watched the kill from a front-row seat in my yard less than a month ago. I saw the coyote arrive first, skidding to the right and the five hunting dogs were on it one second later. Fifteen to 20 seconds later the hunters appeared; some in snowshoes. I watched the terror in the coyote’s eyes and the teeth of the coyote as it fought to its death while the dogs tore it to a bloody death. The three hunters stood over the kill, which lasted more than one full minute. They stood close enough that the dog’s tails were touching their boots. No attempt was made to pull the dogs off the coyote and humanely shoot it. I will forever be haunted by their comments and the pleasure on their faces as they watched their dogs violently kill this beautiful animal. These hunters left a horrid reminder of the slaughter with a 50-foot blood trail. Legally these hunters were supposed to pull their dogs off the coyote and shoot it to kill it; they did not. Had I thought to grab my camera and set it on video to record the entire kill, I would have had ultimate proof of the torture they allowed this animal to endure. As it happened I didn’t grab my camera until after the kill. It was no surprise that without absolute proof the hunters were not penalized for their method of kill. If you find yourself in a similar situation do more than take pictures, take a video to obtain unquestionable proof. In my opinion the conduct demonstrated by the hunters was not honorable sportsmanship. Furthermore, their disrespectful comments as I watched this blood sport were that I had no right to be upset,
and they had every right to be in my yard, killing in this manner. These hunts with dogs are very cruel. Hunters will often corner a coyote with their dogs and wound it with a shot to the shoulder or hip. The dogs will then run the coyote for an extreme amount of miles. The hunters will switch their dogs as they tire. These dogs run the coyote to the point of weakness and exhaustion to meet its final death having its flesh torn apart while still alive. Some hunters consider this a reward for their dog’s effort in the hunt. If you would like more information about coyote hunting with dogs simply go to Google. This dishonorable hunting game is proudly explained in detail on many sites with pictures and movies. The coyote is a beautiful animal with a luxurious pelt and will kill to eat, not to kill. It may even eat your cat and yet your cat may kill your birds and other smaller animals. The coyote lives mainly on small game like bunnies and prefers to eat dead carcasses. It’s possible a coyote will kill a Bambi if they need to eat. Coyote will even eat vegetation if they have to. They are a cousin to your dog. It is important for the public to know that these hunters have no legal right to run dogs on your land without prior authorization; it is illegal. I realize this type of kill naturally happens in the wild. That is God’s design for his animals. They are animals and we are people. We will be held accountable. Psalm 50:10-11 says,”For every animal of the forest is mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills. Every bird of the mountains and all the animals of the field belong to me.” Sandra Albee Barronett

Danielle Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Washburn County Board members took their oaths of office, held an election and received an update on the Pokegama Dam project during the board’s regular monthly meeting held on Tuesday, April 15. Via secret ballots, board members elected the board’s officers for the year. Steven Sather was re-elected as chairperson on a close 11-to-10 vote against Thomas Mackie. Mackie was then elected to the first vice chair position and Gregory Krantz was elected as second vice chair. Five members were then elected to the highway and dam committee. Representing the northern districts will be Lester “Skip” Fieldler of District 2. Tony Baier, District 18, will represent the central districts in the county, and Krantz, District 13, will represent the southern districts on the committee. Romaine Quinn, District 15, was elected as an at-large member. Beth Esser, District 8, was the final member elected to the committee. The Pokegama Dam project began after the DNR received a complaint about a grader-blade structure installed on the lake’s outlet culvert that resulted in damage to a private property on Pokegama Lake over seven years ago. The Department of Natural Resources’ definition of a dam applies to a wide range of structures, and is somewhat complicated even in the eyes of DNR officials. Generally any structure intentionally placed in front of a culvert that restricts the natural flow of water and is designed to raise the water level is considered a dam. The Pokegama Dam’s structure is an 8-foot wide metal grader blade welded to the bottom of the outlet culvert that runs under CTH I into Shell Creek in the Town of Minong. The grader blade structure is not a DNR permitted dam and considered an unauthorized structure. “The definition of a dam will be removed if they (the county) just take the grader blade off,” explained Dan Harrington, Department of Natural Resources water regulations and zoning specialist. The DNR determined the grader blade to be an unauthorized structure and contacted the county to inform them of their options: Remove the blade or get the blade structure permitted as a code compliant dam. Back then the county decided to go ahead with the permitting process. A sevenyear process, that is not yet complete, involved securing engineering requirements, flowage and flooding easements from all affected lakeshore residents.
At last month’s meeting the board approved an additional $100,000 to complete the permitting project. On Tuesday, April 15, Jon Johnson, county highway commissioner, explained to the board that shortly after the board approved the additional funding, historic DNR information was reviewed by the county. That information indicated that the original placement of the culvert was correct. Originally it was thought that the culvert was placed too low and that the grader blade was installed to compensate for an incorrectly installed culvert. After reviewing the historical DNR documents it was concluded that the culvert was not installed too deep, it in fact was installed properly but no reason was found for why the blade was installed in the first place. “I think it is likely that nobody from the county reviewed the historic Pokegama Lake elevation information, and an assumption was made the blade was in place as a result of an improperly installed culvert,” said Harrington. In the future the county board faces the decision on going through with removing the blade or going forward with the permitting process and dam engineering design. The latter of those options may cost the county up to $226,000. To compound the difficult decision faced by the board, Pokegama property owners voiced strong opinions at the meeting against removal of the dam without replacing it with a permitted dam. “Lowering the water level of Pokegama will negatively impact the value of private property on Pokegama. The county will be sued for damages including inverse condemnation claims,” read Hassan Vanaki from a letter written by Gabe Chernov, president of the Pokegama Lake Association. Harrington stated that while the specific effects, positive or negative, of removing the dam without replacing it are unknown, he said, “If the grader blade is removed the lake will likely be lowered by 4 to 6 inches.” In their letter Pokegama Lake Association states that the highway department is in favor of removing the dam in part because of the decreased cost to the county and the existence of another dam downstream. That dam, called the Fischer Dam, is now on private property but remains under the regulation of the DNR. The Fischer Dam is a DNR permitted dam. Due to the myriad of issues associated with the turn of events in the project the board referred the matter to the highway and dam committee for further deliberation.

Rep. Smith offers Democratic Weekly Radio Address: “People don’t want sound bites - they want results” MADISON – This week, Rep. Stephen Smith, D-Shell Lake, offered the Democratic Weekly Radio Address regarding his experiences as a freshman legislator and how, despite a lack of focus by legislators in the majority party, he was able to advance bipartisan legislation on jobs and other issues that will help families across Wisconsin. “I am proud of the measures I was able to get signed into law as a first-time legislator, and they serve as good examples of strong bipartisan legislation that should have been every legislator’s primary focus this session,” Smith said. “The
people in northwestern Wisconsin and throughout our state don’t have time for more meaningless, feel-good sound bites, they want results. While I am proud of my accomplishments, there is more work to be done on jobs and other more important issues that affect the everyday lives of real people.” The audio file of Smith’s address can be found at bit.ly/1mcH7o1. The address is also available on the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association website at bit.ly/JjRh2Y. The full transcript of the address is available at bit.ly/1hJmwal. — submitted

that she was magical. She lit up the silver screen and it turned to gold. She asked her mother why all the people made such a fuss over her. The wise mother said, simply, “Your movies make them happy.” They made “Baby Take A Bow” and “Bright Eyes” and a star in the Hollywood sky was born. Shirley sang, “On the Good Ship Lollypop,” and made movie history. Some of the actors did not care to be in a film with a child actor, but some of the really great actors did and took it in stride, pleased to dance and sing with this little professional. Shirley had her footprints and handprints set in cement at the forecourt of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 1936. She had a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. She made the list as the top box office star from 1935 to 1938. In 1988, she wrote her autobiography, “Child Star,” in which she lamented that she did not have a natural childhood. She had a bodyguard, and a private tutor, and her own little house on the lot where she could spend time when not acting or taking lessons. This is why she cherished her own family, and made sure her three children had normal childhoods. It was very hard work for any child. Shirley was introduced to many prominent people and always made a great impression. She visited with President
Franklin Roosevelt at Hyde Park. They were enjoying a barbecue, and just as Eleanor was bending over at the grill, Shirley took out her slingshot from her little purse, and shot Mrs. Roosevelt in the rear, and laughed about it. She wasn’t too perfect, and she had fun. Shirley semiretired from acting as a teenager, and went to school. She may have resisted the rigid discipline of those years making films. When she was 17 she married John Agar. They had a daughter, Linda Susan. They did two movies together, “Fort Apache,” in 1948 and “Adventure in Baltimore” in 1949. Their marriage was strained and they divorced in December of 1950. She took custody of their child. A short time later, she married Charles Alden Black, who was in the U.S. Navy. He was from a wealthy California family. They went to live in Washington, D.C. Shirley had been on corporate boards of Walt Disney and Del Monte, and she was becoming more interested in politics. Her husband served during the Korean police action. Later, they moved back to California. Their son, Charles, was born in 1952, and their daughter, Lori, was born in 1954. Shirley enjoyed being a hands-on mother and did not care to go back into movies. She tried a children’s television show in 1958, but it only ran one year, and it was carelessly done. There was a lot of competition for series, and hers was about fairy tales. Shirley ran for senator, but didn’t win. Then she was appointed ambassador to Ghana. Later, she served as ambassador to
A recent Harris Interactive poll shows 75 percent of workers say they would, “insist upon change if they saw obvious wasteful practices at work.” The survey, which was commissioned by Ricoh and polled 900 U.S. workers, does indicate that workplace environmental practices are becoming an expectation among the American workforce. Winona Earth Day will be hosting an Earth Day event on Saturday, April 26, at Levee Park in Winona from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The festivities will include vendors and artisans, food and a bike valet along with events such as a solar home tour and a hike and bike in Bluffside Park. SC Johnson, maker of some of the world’s most frequently used home products, has announced it is on track to meet its 2016 goal of minimizing manufacturing waste by 70 percent. Since 2000, the company has reduced 62 percent of manufacturing waste produced around the globe, an achievement hinging on zero landfill initiatives and recycling efforts. Como Park Zoo and Conser-
vatory in St. Paul, Minn., will host Party for the Planet, sponsored by Xcel Energy, April 25-27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring the family for a fun weekend of activities, crafts and education programs that explore animals, plants and people that depend on this big blue ball. You’ll leave with some great ideas for reducing your own impact on the planet and improving our natural habitats. In a recent poll, global electronics recycling firm Sims Recycling Solutions, who actually encourages customers to “put off the upgrade” and “reuse what you can,” after a recent event survey showed that just 20 percent of dropped-off devices were truly at the end of their useful life.

Area writers corner “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” by Mary Olsen
The child actress who brightened the lives of the children of the Great Depression has passed away. Shirley Temple passed away at the age of 85 at her home, peacefully, surrounded by her beloved family. She was born April 23, 1928. She was famous as an actress, dancer and singer in films from the time she first danced into American hearts when she was 3 years old. She was called “Little Miss Sunshine,” at a time when there were dark clouds of the Great Depression hovering over everyone. To many, it seemed like the whole world was falling apart, the future looked ominous. Little Shirley’s dimpled smiles made others smile. As soon as she was born, her mother knew this child had to perform for people. She was born to spread joy. Her mother enrolled her little girl in dance class, and when Shirley was ready to dance, her mother would whisper in her ear, “Sparkle, Shirley,” and she would shine. Someone was making short movies to spoof movies for the public and saw Shirley and brought her to the studio and they were grasping at anything to get people to buy tickets. They made a movie using her talents and found

Czechoslovakia, appointed by President George H.W. Bush. She was quoted as saying that she had no problem in the diplomatic service dealing with nations, but she had problems with some of the Americans, who, in the beginning, refused to believe she had grown up. Then she served as the chief of protocol. In this capacity she taught new congressmen what was expected of them to represent the U.S. government. She taught them all about what to say and where to sit. Shirley was most likely the first star to cash in on stardom. Merchandise using her name and fame became a part of her generation’s growing-up years. She was 4 years older than me, but I actually had a Shirley Temple doll. It was very nice, complete with a short-skirted little dress and a curly wig. All little girls had to measure up and have lovely curls and try to look as cute as she was. I didn’t care about things like that, but some girls didn’t like Shirley or her clothes, dishes, or her doll. Some of it was pirated, but she made money, too. They say there is a statue of Shirley on the Fox Studio lot. She was given a Kennedy Center Award. She spent 19 years of her life in the entertainment industry. She spent 20 years in public service. She had breast cancer in 1972, and was the first prominent woman to speak up about it. She told of it in an article in McCall’s Magazine. Her husband, Charles, passed away in 2005. Fame and fortune are nice, but they say she treasured her family, most of all. modations.

SPOONER — St. Francis de Sales Destination ImagiNation team Skittles placed first at the Wisconsin State Destination ImagiNation Competition in Stevens Point on Saturday, April 12. The Skittles team, along with their coaches, Jacene Silvis and Aimee Paffel, are now eligible to participate in the Destination ImagiNation Global Finals in Knoxville, Tenn., from May 21-24. Skittles team members, Alex Heino, Evelyn Paffel, Tiffany Romportl and Anna Silvis, chose the Service Learning Challenge. This challenge required them to identify a community need, carry out a project to address the need and then create a presentation that features the project. The project the team chose was the Palace Theatre’s digital projector fund-
raiser. They hosted a “Jeopardy” game with the help of JoEllen Weathers and raised over $600 toward the cause. The team and their coaches extend gratitude to St. Francis de Sales Parish and School and the Spooner community for their support. They also would like to recognize Mariah Schultz, Michael Aschbacher, and Jill and Barry Mickelson for sharing with them their wealth of DI knowledge. The Skittles will be doing fundraisers to help cover the cost of their trip. Information about these fundraisers, as it becomes available, will be posted online at the St. Francis de Sales website, saintfrancisschoolspooner.com, and their Facebook page at facebook.com/sfdsspooner. Pam Olson may also be contacted at the St. Francis de Sales School office at 715635-2774 for more information. — from SFDS
Canoe museum to host expeditionist Peter Marshall
SPOONER — On Saturday, May 3, the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum at 312 N. Front St., in Spooner will host adventurer and videographer Peter Marshall. Marshall will be making a presentation about his plans for recreating the famed Hubbard Expedition of 1905 across Labrador, Canada. Marshall has previously presented tales of his adventures at Canoecopia in Madison and at the Midwest Mountaineering Expo in Minneapolis. The WCHM presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m. and last about an hour, with a pre-event social hour and a postevent question and equipment inspection opportunity. Admission to the event is free and recommended for all ages. Since he went on his first canoe trip at age 16, Peter Marshall has paddled over 7,500 miles through Canada. He has been on two expeditions that have lasted over 120 days. In 2005, he and his brother, Andrew, canoed 2,700 miles over the course of 122 days from Lake of the Woods, Minn., to the Arctic Ocean. In 2012, he was part of a four-man crew that paddled 2,600 miles from Alaska to the Hudson Bay, which won the Canoe & Kayak Magazine’s 2013 Expedition of the Year Award. Now Marshall is planning a new expedition, to take place this summer, retracing the steps of the infamous Hubbard Expedition. In 1905, Mina Hubbard, trav-
eling with four guides and two canoes, ventured into one of the last unmapped parts of North America, attempting to follow the same route that two years earlier claimed the life of Mina’s husband. Since then the human drama and adventure has made the Hubbard Expedition one of the most famous canoe sagas in paddling history. In July 2014, Marshall will set out to retrace this route, using traditional equipment made from nonsynthetic fabric. This is the kind of gear people used 100 years ago: waxed canvas tent, tin-cloth rain gear, a cedar/canvas canoe, and wool everything. In his presentation at the WCHM, Marshall will go over the process of putting together such an outfit. He will give a preview of the equipment that will be used, much of which is handmade by local craftspeople, as well as the food he will eat, and the philosophy motivating him to undertake such an expedition. More information about Peter Marshall and his expedition can be found at LabradorPassage.com. For more information about the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum or the Marshall presentation, call 715-635-2479 or visit WisconsinCanoeHeritageMuseum.org. — from WCHM

pring is the time when the earth S comes alive after a long winter’s nap. This year it seems that a longer
naptime has been taking place. During our most recent snowstorm, my son, Matthew, wrote in an email, “Winter really has a lot of affection for us I guess.” Spring is the season that we anticipate new life as plants, trees and flowers come to life. Spring is the time of new arrivals as animals are birthing their offspring. Our family also had a new birth this spring. My two other grandchildren were born in July and August when the weather was a predictable warm. Grandbaby number three, Charlotte MaryGrace, arrived on April 3, when the weather was less predictable. The newscasters were talking about a coming winter storm that could dump several inches of new snow around the time of her impending birth. Charlotte thankfully decided the day before the storm hit that she would make her appearance. On Thursday, April 3, the phone next to my bed rang at 4:30 a.m. The voice on the other end said, “Mom, I’m in labor
Baby makes three and Carl is at a structure fire.” I told her, “Don’t worry, I’m on my way. I’ll leave in about an hour.” The plan was that I would be available to take care of 4-year-old Adalyn and 2-year-old Cole when the new baby arrived. I figured Carl, a firefighter for the Woodbury Fire Department, would make it back home before Milt and I got there. Besides, babies don’t usually come as quickly as portrayed on TV and in movies. My real goal was that I wanted to make sure I was safely in Minnesota just in case it started to snow. Milt slept through the phone conversation so was startled when in a voice louder than I intended said, “I’m going to Woodbury. You wanna come.” As Charlotte was in the hospital bonding with her parents, Grampy Milt returned home and I stayed with Adalyn and Cole, as the snow continued to fall. I’m thinking our family will remember how we

endured the cold and the snow our winter brought as we were anticipating the birth of a new baby. I’ve been asked what Adalyn and Cole think of their new baby sister. Adalyn is a big helper, wanting to be involved in the child care. The first night that Charlotte was home, Adalyn had a hard time going to bed. She would
exclaim, “I just have to see her one more time. I love her so much!” Cole, on the other hand, wasn’t overly interested. He would rather be playing. Although one day he did make a plea in a whiny voice saying, “Mama, put down the baby! I wanna a banana!”

BURNETT COUNTY — When Jim Harwood was admitted to hospice, he shared how much he had enjoyed singing in a choir and as a member of a barbershop quartet. The Regional Hospice volunteer coordinator knew a member of Chariot, a barbershop quartet, and contacted him with a request that they come and sing. The group agreed immediately. After singing several songs for Harwood, his wife Rose, and daughter Diane, the quartet went into the dining room and sang for a large group of nursing home residents. Catch a Dream is a program started by Regional Hospice Services to do special things for their patients to add quality to their lives. The program is funded by community support and would not be possible without it. — from Regional Hospice

BARRON — Meet Theresa Kamrath, Barron Electric’s Megawatt Community Service Award winner. Katie Roux said, “Theresa truly is the epitome of community service. She is an amazing, selfless individual which is why I am nominating her for this award.” Kamrath is the founder of The Hope Squad of Rice Lake. This organization was originally started four years ago as a way to create suicide awareness and try to help prevent it by offering hope to those in need. Today, The Hope Squad offers services to anyone in need including helping cover the cost of heating bills, helping someone move, giving rides to those without a car or giving food to help feed a family. Roux remarked, “Theresa is constantly helping those who call at all hours of the day and night.” Kamrath said, “My brother-in-law was my inspiration for Hope Squad; he had committed suicide several
years ago. This organization allows me to reach out and help others.” Over 400 people visit Hope Squad annually, while they assist over 700 people over the phone. They use the 211 resource which offers free and confidential help for food, housing, employment, health care and counseling. Those needing help can call 715-790-8901 or email tkamrath5@hotmail.com.

Usually 30 to 40 percent of the lake freezes over in a normal year. This year has been anything but normal as the lake has exceeded all ice measurement made since 1979. – Photo by Larry Samson

April 26 is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day
SHELL LAKE — Chief Deputy Mike Richter at the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department in Shell Lake sees a disturbing trend among young people today. Second only to marijuana, he says, prescription drugs are the most abused drugs among young people right now. It may be anything from cancer drugs and painkillers to heavy narcotics. These drugs can not only be highly addictive and a risk to your health with intense side effects, they are dangerous in many other ways as well. Many of these drugs lower your inhibitions, which can increase the risk of things like sexual assault; and they can be very dangerous when operating a motor vehicle. It is important to raise awareness of the abuse of prescription drugs like this, Richter says. And their efforts seem to be working. More drugs are dropped off at the sheriff’s department every year. In addition to the above-mentioned obvious danger of having old prescription
drugs end up in the wrong hands, Carrie Jurek, drug free communities grant project coordinator of New Paradigm Partners, also emphasizes that while some people who abuse prescription drugs manage to get them from doctors, many of the drugs that people use are stolen. The elderly population is particularly susceptible to medication theft. Jurek urges people to lock up their medications in their home and to be aware of the people coming into your home who may try to steal your medications, such as service workers — plumbers, realtors, baby sitters, housekeepers — and even your children’s friends. She says, “Oftentimes people who leave their homes to attend funerals are especially susceptible to break-ins and thefts due to the offender seeing in the newspapers when and how long people will be leaving their homes for the services.” Minong Police Chief Dennis Stuart ex-

Minong Chief of Police Dennis Stuart is shown with his new permanent prescription drug drop-off box located in the Minong Police Department. He received a grant in order to obtain this box. — Photo submitted presses the environmental concern that comes with getting rid of drugs on your own. When you flush drugs down the drain or toilet it affects the water. This event is an effort to protect our youth, communities and environment. Preventing prescription drug abuse is the first goal of the National Prescription Takeback Day but it’s also important for us to educate about the proper way to dispose of these medications. Flushing the drugs “will cause them to end up in our water supply.” Bringing your used, unwanted, or excess medication to the drop-off sites rather than disposing of them in other ways protects your home, family and environment.
Stuart hopes that when they hear about the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day people will go home and clean out their medicine cabinets and gather up their old or no longer needed drugs. It is also safer not to have large amounts of prescription drugs at home, because this might make you susceptible to break-ins. On Saturday, April 26, there will be sites available in Shell Lake at the sheriff’s department and at the Minong Police Department to dispose of prescription drugs between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Washburn County Sheriff’s Office also has a collection box available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., year-round, for community members to properly dispose of their excess medications. The drop-off is entirely anonymous. Nobody will ask any questions. Drugs can be dropped off in original containers – people are encouraged to peel their names off the bottle – or just poured into a plastic bag. Not accepted are: needles, bloody infectious waste, liquid medications, aerosol containers or business waste. The National Prescription Drug TakeBack Day is a national initiative hosted by Washburn County police departments in cooperation with the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration. It is funded by New Paradigm Partners and the DFC grant. For information about prescription drug drop-off boxes in the surrounding counties of Barron, Burnett, Polk, Rusk, Sawyer and Washburn, contact the respective police departments at their nonemergency phone number. For more information about New Paradigm Partners, contact Sherry Timmermann Goodpaster at thebluehills@ centurytel.net or go to Facebook page, facebook.com/NPPwisconsin. See it. Hear it. Report it.

Stone Lake I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter! It was a beautiful weekend, but that snow should not have been there. We were just starting to see some ground and then it all started again. Hopefully this will be it for the season. As we finally get closer to saying goodbye to Old Man Winter, it’s now time to think spring. A reminder to everyone to keep watch on the Fire Danger sign in front of the fire hall, or visit the Wisconsin DNR website, for the most current burning danger. The website is updated daily at 11 a.m., at which time the outside sign will also be updated. With the snow melting and the ground starting to dry, we are all eager to clean up our yards from last fall’s leaves and debris. Please remember to clean up around your home, especially flower beds, under decks, under shrubs and other areas near your home that may collect leaves and debris, as these areas are the easiest to catch fire and the most likely to produce a threat to your home, if ignited. If you are going to burn, it is required that you get a burn permit before you burn. You must also call the DNR each day you are going to burn and check the DNR burn status. You can get a burn permit online at dnr.wi.gov or call 888-WIS-BURN (947-
by Mary Nilssen 2876) or from your local fire warden. If you have questions, please feel free to call the DNR or in an emergency dial 911. The Stone Lake Fire Department would like to thank everyone for doing their part in making their job as easy as possible and keeping our little town safe. They wish you a great spring and a better summer. The Stone Lake Area Historical Society will be having their annual ham and scalloped potato dinner on Saturday, May 3, from 4-7 p.m. at the Stone Lake Fire Hall. This is one of the largest fundraisers for the Stone Lake Historical Society Museum complex. There will also be a silent auction during the meal. They hope members of the community, friends and visitors can join them for this tasty meal. After enjoying the meal, go over to the Stone Lake Lions Hall and enjoy some wonderful music. Local musicians will be playing and singing a wide variety of old/ new favorites. They will be playing from 6:30-9 p.m. All are welcome with free admission. Ladies, please plan on attending the Stone Lake HCE, formerly the women’s Homemakers Club, when they will have their annual salad supper on Tuesday, May 20, at the Stone Lake Lions Hall at 6:30 p.m.
Dewey Country The following is a clarification to information that published in an earlier Dewey Country news: Shell Lake Marine, owned and operated by brothers Tom and Tony Klassa, will be opening another Shell Lake Marine in Siren. Tom and Jennie Klassa’s son-in-law, Kelly Kidder, who is married to their daughter, Paige, is the marine mechanic for the business. Daughter Kourtney, who has completed her associate degree with a focus in business management while continuing schooling for her Bachelor of Business Management degree, will be running the Siren location as the general manager. At this time, Paige, who is currently in college working toward a bachelor’s degree in biology, has no plans to join the family business. Hey you up there! Yah you! Turn off the snow machine! Spring was a month ago and this last week we got another 12 inches of that stuff. We’ve all had it with the winter we’ve had and we need spring and sunshine. So please, please, shut off that snow machine. Everyone is sick and tired of snow! Happy birthday to Ashley Meister as she enjoys her special day April 24 along with Austin Schultz and Kayla Johnson. Hope you all have a wonderful day. A very happy anniversary to Cory and Amber Albee as they celebrate their special day with lots more to come. This makes four years for the Albees. Happy birthday to Cheryl Hotchkiss and also birthday wishes go out to Roger Hopke on April 26 with lots more to come. April 27, a very happy birthday to Verna Dahlstrom as she enjoys that special day. A very happy birthday to Jeremial Petersen, Heidi LaRose, Josh Johnson and also to Chase Redding, all on April 29. Have a great day. Happy birthday to Jameson Stone, Dalton Schroeder and to Max Odden who turns 5 years old, all on April 30. Many more. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Deputy Mike Severson, 50, who passed away. Mike was shot and paralyzed in a Burnett County standoff. He passed away 23 years after he was shot. Also shot and killed on April 19, 1991, was Deputy Allen Albee, a Dewey Country resident. At the annual board meeting of the Town of Dewey a number of women went to the board and asked the board to furnish cleaning supplies, etc., so they could clean the town hall. This was granted. Don’t think the Dewey Town Hall has ever been cleaned except for sweeping, etc., so it will be nice to have it clean. Yah know we all have some little beliefs that if we do this or that something good will come from it. Kind of like what goes around, comes around. Well Diane Hulleman thought the following would be worth writing about. Did you know there is a belief in hot-cross buns? Well there is and it goes like this: People believed if they had hot-cross buns in the house they would always be ensured that their yeast bread would always rise. Sailors took hotcross buns along on their ships so their ship wouldn’t sink and they would make it back fine. Miners also took hot-cross buns into the mines so the mine wouldn’t cave in. Interesting. Lisa Otto and children, Marjorie and Charlie, came on Saturday to Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s to celebrate Easter, as she had to go to her honey’s side on Sun-
There will be many salads, desserts, beverages, entertainment and many door prizes. There will be a freewill offering with all proceed divided between Washburn and Sawyer counties food shelves and hospice. Stone Lake Run from the Devil Poker Run will be held on Saturday, May 17. It will start at the Black Bear Pub & Grille. Registration starts at 10 a.m., bikes and bus leave at 11 a.m. and end at the Stone Lake Pub. Run from the Devil is a nonprofit organization that supports the Stone Lake community projects for the children. Last year they donated $2,000 to the Stone Lake scholarships. This year they would like to set up a fund to help with the holiday parties such as Halloween and Christmas for the children to enjoy. The Stone Lake Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a business expo on Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. It will take place at the Stone Lake Fire Hall this year. This is an excellent opportunity for local businesses to promote their products and services. Registration forms and more information can be found on the Stone Lake Chamber of Commerce website, stonelakewi.com. Forms and fees must be received at P.O. Box 75, Stone Lake, WI 54876 by Friday, April 25.
Please mark the following dates on your calendars. More information, closer to date, to follow: Sunday, May 11, 2 p.m., Mother’s Day, a violin recital presented by Dr. Erin Aldridge and accompanied by Dr. Beth Gilbert at First Lutheran Church in Hayward. Saturday, June 14, Stone Lake Area Historical Society plans to have an antique appraisal from 2-5 p.m. at the Stone Lake Fire Hall. I had one response to my last week’s column about the Mackey Valley School. Sandra Veenendal in Stone Lake reports that her mother, Hazel Worre, was a teacher there for many years from approximately 1953 to the time of closing after consolidation with the Spooner School District. Thanks for the information, Sandy. Remember, the Junk Store will be opening on April 26, weather permitting. Most items for sale are put outside and in the event of bad weather, these items would have to remain indoors, leaving no room for customers to walk around and shop. Hopefully, it will be warm and dry and you will have the opportunity to shop. If you have anything you would like to share with others, please contact me at 715865-4008.

M
artin Luther once wrote to a friend, “Your thoughts of God are too human!” That certainly was not true of David. David saw the greatness of God and the glory of his creation: “O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens!” Perhaps he was thinking about the time when there was nothing and no one but God. Perhaps he was allowing his mind to wander and entertain the idea that God chose to make himself known to man. It may have been that David was awestruck to think of the possibility that he could actually communicate with God or get his attention by calling on him. And he continues his thoughts about the greatness of God when he writes of his “majesty and glory” - the power that he has over the heavens, the earth and all that is in and on the earth. Nothing is beyond him. Notice two very important things: David begins with “O Lord” - describing his personal relationship with God. He knew that by speaking his name he would get God’s attention. How impressive is that! This powerful God is present with him at that moment and is personally concerned about him and will respond to him if he calls upon him. And this is just the beginning. Notice that “O Lord” is followed by “Our Lord,” which includes all of us. God, speaking through David, wants us to know that he, this majestic God, is always thinking of us, watching over us and concerned about us. Visit us at Guido Gardens, Metter, Ga.

Barronett
by Judy Pieper
I think that Sunday was the most perfect day we’ve had for Easter for years. The sun was shining and the temperature was about 70 degrees. Most of the snow is gone again. It was a wonderful day for outdoor family get-togethers. We are lucky to have some very fine young people in our church. The Spirit Connection prepared a delicious breakfast for the congregation of Barronett Lutheran before Easter morning worship service. The Sunday school students played instruments and sang a song for the congregation during the service. The kids performing the music were Caitlynn Yawn, Conner and McKenzie Arnes, Kirsten and Kylie Hohweiler, and Lucas and Logun Arnes. And we are also very fortunate to have some very dedicated youth leaders. Peg Thompson and Devon Snowbank go way above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to organizing and helping with all the youth activities. Easter worship service was wonderful. Pastor Todd always gives such inspiring sermons, but Easter always seems a little more special. The church was filled almost to capacity. And, the music was beautiful. Geri Pittman had to play one extra song during Communion because there were so many people going up, and she picked out one of my favorites, “Amazing Grace.” During the service, Holly and Max Hendrick were welcomed into the church by the affirmation of their baptism. They were joined at the altar by their parents, Rebecca and Rob Hendrick, and their grandparents, Nancy and Robert Sommerfeld. Congratulations, Holly and Max, on completing your confirmation classes. Leonard and Marylin Lang hosted an Easter party at their home for the family. They had an egg hunt for the three little great-grandchildren, but decided to have it indoors because of the water flowing through their yard. There was plenty of food and goodies for everyone, and they enjoyed the day sitting, relaxing and visiting. Lois Nickell hosted a brunch for the family at her home. Guests were David and Steven Nickell, Debbie, Dan and Derek Labbe, and Rachel, Cameron and George Tofte. Suzy and Ryan Lehmann had the family over on Satur-
Sarona
day for Easter dinner. The meal was delicious. In addition to the Lehmann girls, guests were Don and Anitia Lehmann, Lynn Thon, Jerry and Savanna Marsh, Jim, Summer, Jensyn, Maddy, Olivia and Wrig Marsh, Tinille’s friend, Eric, and me. Duane couldn’t be there because he’s still playing truck driver and was in Oklahoma. Tinille, Alyse and Miriah are all adults you know, but Easter Bunny still thinks he has to hide baskets for them and makes them work pretty hard at finding them. This year all three baskets were in one shopping bag and hung from the deck by a rope. There was a cooler in front of the rail where the rope was tied so it wasn’t visible from the house. Lynn Thon was one of the guests, and she gave them a hint, which didn’t help much, so Suzy gave them a better one and they finally found them. It’s no wonder those girls grew up so strong. Nothing has been easy. Tru’s basket was a little easier to find. Hopefully Easter Bunny will be a little softer on the next generation. The Neitzel family, Isaac, Ginger, Morgan, Trystin and Bella, had a nice quiet Easter at home after attending Easter service at Pipe Lake Lutheran. Morgan said they had fun finding their Easter baskets and enjoying the beautiful warm sunshine. The Lehmann family got together at Deb and Craig’s home on Sunday for the annual Easter party/outdoor egg hunt. Chad, Steven and DaShaun were the big money winners, one $10 and two $5 eggs. The little ones, Gavin, Tru, Miles, Adeline and Charlie, had a wonderful time finding eggs and winning prizes. Craig and Deb had everything set up in the garage in case of rain, but it was such a beautiful day that everyone was outside most of the time. There are a few more signs of spring. The little peeper frogs are awake and making a lot of noise. The crocuses are blooming in the south garden, they were blooming through the snow before it melted on Sunday. Terry Goodrich saw a little garter snake when he was out walking with his dog. The snake was moving really fast until it hit a patch of snow, then Terry said that it curled up into a ball and didn’t move at all. There is a bald eagle in the nest on top of the telephone pole at the end of 30th Avenue heading east of Barronett. Pat Olson said that
someone saw a bear roaming around up by the Hilltop. I suppose they will be digging in the garbage cans pretty soon now. Terry Goodrich said that he’s had a pretty stressful week. He’s had two phone calls that turned out to be scams from people who were trying to squeeze some money out of him. And, one phone call from what he described as a “nut case” who threatened him with bodily harm. That one is pretty funny actually. Terry said that he didn’t recognize the name or number on his caller ID, and when he answered it a man immediately started shouting at him and telling him to leave his wife alone. Terry said that the guy was completely of control and just kept shouting threats at him until he finally hung up. Wrong number, obviously. Terry thought it would be pretty tragic if the guilty party were completely unaware that his secret was out, was sitting outside enjoying a beer in the warm sunshine, and the angry husband walked up to him and start beating the heck out of him without any further warning. Hmmm. If anyone out there thinks he is being wronged, please be sure to check for the correct phone number before making the call. Do things like this ever happen to anyone other than Terry? The Barronett Dragons 4-H Club will be presenting the play “Dracula and the Sanatorium of the Undead” at the Barronett Community Center on Tuesday, April 29, at 7 p.m. There are some really good actors in that club, and it should be a fun family night out. Hope you can join us at the play. I asked Ruth Grover how her granddaughter, Cam, is doing, and she said, “She’s coping.” Please keep Cam in your prayers for healing. I am very sorry to report that Ed Norton passed away while in the hospital in San Diego, Calif. Pastor Todd said that the memorial service for Ed has been tentatively planned for Saturday, April 26. Please keep Ed’s family in your prayers for comfort as they go through this time of sorrow. That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you can get out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. See you next time.

It was a foggy Monday morning as I wrote this but it was mild out. It was a gorgeous Easter Sunday weatherwise. All of the foot of new snow we got here Wednesday night has melted, along with some of the old, with the Easter temps in the upper 60s. Spring flowers are emerging and the catkins known as pussy willows are popping out. It was so nice to sit on the deck and listen and watch three pairs of sandhill cranes that were squawking away in the cornfield by my house. I watched a couple of otters having fun on the ice that was still on the pond. It is almost gone now. It is the time for new arrivals. Granddaughter Sara and Kyle Mathison have a new baby boy, born at the Lakeside Hospital in Rice Lake on Thursday, April 17. He weighed 6 pounds, 3 ounces. They named him Grant Allen. Grandparents are Wayne and Heidi Mathison and first-time grands are Mary and John Marschall. Wealthy Marschall is a first-time great and that makes me a fivetime great with the two being born in a week. So, it’s been a thrilling week in our family. It’s also time for yard cleaning and the spring turkey hunt is on. The Tuscobia Trap Club began its open shooting schedule. Hours are 5-9 p.m. on Monday nights. Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht, Jillian and Jaxson left on Thursday, flying to Phoenix, Ariz., to visit his cousins, the Mike Durands, until Saturday. Then they rented a car and drove to California to take in Disneyland. They drove to San Diego and went to the zoo and Sea World. Tuesday they went to the beach. They flew home Thursday. They report a fun trip. The kids really enjoyed it. They had Easter on Saturday at her dad’s, Scott and Gloria Butterfield’s, with her family. They had Easter Sunday dinner with his family at Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht’s. Virginia Stodola’s sons and their wives and family, with all 11 great-grands, were up at some time over the Easter weekend.
Heart Lake
Saturday, Greg and Sue Krantz’s daughter-in-law Cristi and kids, Ellie May and Ryland, were up and visited from Chippewa Falls. Ericka, Lance Parker and kids had Easter dinner Sunday at the Krantz’s. Prayers for Mary Krantz who is in the hospital. I was a coffee visitor with her on Tuesday morning, April 15, at Lakeland Manor. Rocky and Pat Semm went to daughter Lisa and Matt Stodola’s for Easter dinner. Others there were their daughter Mary Doanes and family from Rice Lake, Suzie’s family from Elk Mound and also Matt’s mother, Eleanor Stodola and friend Sandi along with Matt’s brother, Mason, from Barron. Marilyn Zimmerman had family in for Easter dinner together on Saturday with her mom, Germaine Paulson, grandma Aaggie Hrouda, sister Linda and Ivan Stodola, Nicole, Ashley and Levi and girls, Megan, Brian and Jessica Zimmerman and baby Broden and Janet and Renee Zimmerman. Folks have been sapping but not for long because when the trees begin to bud out, the sap is no good. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup. I hear Penney’s in Rice Lake will be closing their doors this spring. Those stores have been around a long time, but it’s a sign of the times. Libbie DeTrent visited daughter Elizabeth in Maryland last week and attended ballet and jazz class with the two oldest granddaughters and helped the oldest with her first science project. Libbie’s son-in-law, Brian McCarthy, treated Libbie and the family to a Washington Nationals baseball game. Report it was great to see green grass and the beginning of the cherry blossoms. I am happy to report that Sam DeTrent is recovering his good health and strength after successful colon surgery. Alan and Charlotte Ross spent Saturday in Eau Claire with daughter Nancy Trayan’s family.
Mavis Schlapper enjoyed Easter dinner at Fritz and Mary Mancl’s along with their family. Jan and Jeff Johnston got back last Monday after being gone south to milder states since the middle of January. Jan had the Frey family over for Easter Sunday dinner. Jay and Ann Okonek went to his brother, Steve’s, in Hickston on Saturday for an early Easter with them. Casey Furchtenicht is home this week on Easter break from college. My niece, Amy Ripley, Eau Claire, and Elaine Ryan visited and had noon lunch with me on Saturday. Thursday, I attended funeral services for June Wuetrich at the Skinner Funeral Home in Rice Lake. She was a great lady and will be dearly missed. Happy birthday wishes this week to Brenda Kubista, Jade LaFave and Agnes Benjamin, April 24; Nan Koel, LeRoy Dahlgren and Garth Richter, April 25; Amber D. Donelle and Rosy Boland, April; 26; Verna Dahlstrom, Ryan Furchtenicht, Mason Loech and Ethan Lyga, April 27; Carl Townsend, Tom Cusick, David Furchtenicht, Nicole Baker, Janice Organ and Scott Linderberger, April 28; Christina Martin, Kenna Organ, Pierce Hastreiter and Bruce Ripley, April 29; and Aaron Musil, Wes Mullineaux, Jacob Linderman and Kay Patterson, April 30. Folks to wish a happy anniversary to are Ron and Mary Jo Furchtenicht, April 24; Ralph and Arlene VanMeter, their 60th, on April 25; Jeff and Marilyn Norton, their 40th, on April 26; Doug and Patsy Sweet and Bridgett and Dan Looney, April 28; and Greg and Cheri Lyga and Paul and Cathi Hagan, April 29.

It was a foggy morning early on Monday but when the sun came out it cleared up. It was in the 50s. We can’t complain about that. We still have snow around here but hopefully it will melt on these warm days. We hope you had a nice Easter. It was a beautiful day! Congratulations to Sara and Kyle Mathison of Cumberland who had a baby on Thursday, April 17. Grant Allen weighed in at 6 pounds, 4 ounces. John and Mary Marschall are the proud grandparents.
