Snow causes damage to Spooner Middle School roof Danielle Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — “We did have a big mass of snow come down off the gym onto that roof and it caused some structural damage,” said Don Haack, superintendent of the Spooner Area School District. Last weekend’s warm temperatures and the round structure of the Antholz Gymnasium roof led to a mass of wet, heavy snow falling onto a portion of the old middle school roof causing it to sag several inches under the weight. Haack stated that the damage was limited to one section over a hallway that leads to the small gymnasium and the technical education classroom. Since those classrooms can be accessed through other avenues the school has diverted traffic around the affected area. “At the present time, the temporary measures

that are in place will keep the roof from collapsing. We acted quickly and appropriately, and our main concern has been safety of our students and personnel,” wrote Haack in an email. Construction crews were called in over the weekend to isolate the damaged area allowing classes to still take place in the school. Haack and others instrumental in recovery measures met with structural engineers from Ericksen Roed and Associates on Monday, March 31, to assess the situation. Haack explained that the excess snow still on the roof is hindering assessment into the extent of the damage. “We will need further information from engineers, architects and builders before we can make any decisions about how to deal with the matter,” said Haack.

Bridging the gap A look at Spooner School District’s SAVE Academy Danielle Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — “It is another school, it is another way to meet the educational needs of kids,” said Kate McKinney, Spooner Area Virtual Education Academy administrator. Nearing the end of its first year of operation, the SAVE Academy is a virtual charter school administered through the Spooner Area School District that serves children in kindergarten through 12th grade. A licensed school counselor, McKinney has a master’s degree in mental health counseling and was hired as the school’s administrator in June of 2013. Other SAVE Academy staff members include Amber LaRue, enrichment day coordinator; and Linda Knott, local educational guide. School instructors include Bethany Kunselman, Tim Stillwell, Luke Meier, Darlene Potter, Joel Simpson, Larry Samson, Sarah Kelby and Olivia Schloneger.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, in the 20092010 school year statewide approximately 3,900 students were enrolled in a virtual charter school. The first virtual charter school was established by the Appleton Area School District in the 2002-2003 school year. “Really what we want to be is bridging that gap between traditional home schooling and the public school,” explained McKinney. Four days a week SAVE students are taught home-based education. Once a week the school convenes at the Cornerstone Church in Spooner for enrichment classes. These classes are those that are sometimes more difficult to be taught at home like art, experimental science and physical education. “When they are enrolled in SAVE Academy they are considered a public school district student,” stated McKinney. Like public school students, SAVE students are allowed to participate in district extracurricular activities like athletics, band or choir and up to two regular public school classes at a time. In addition, students

that have special needs or require speech or learning assistance can still receive those programs available through the district. As a public school, SAVE Academy receives funding from the state based on student enrollment numbers. Once enrolled, families are given an allowance for prioritized educational purposes that are approved by the school’s governing body. For SAVE the top priority is access to adequate educational materials. McKinney explained that all curriculum chosen for instruction has to meet state standards and is reviewed by school staff to ensure those standards are met. “Quite frankly if we feel it enhances their education in any way then we will approve it,” said McKinney. The school also offers assistance to families in finding satisfactory curriculum. After materials have reached the end of their usefulness for a student, they are returned to the school and added to a curriculum library to be used by future students. According to the DPI the Wisconsin charter school law gives charter schools

freedom from most state rules and regulations in exchange for greater accountability results. McKinney explained that SAVE students participate in all state standardized testing in addition to early literacy testing and quarterly progress checks with families to ensure curriculum is followed. “The families have been the ones who really wanted to see this happen and did the groundwork for getting it started, so there is a lot of support behind the school,” said McKinney. Currently 15 families participate in SAVE Academy with 29 students enrolled. The school was recently approved by the Spooner School Board to implement a 4-year-old kindergarten program next year. Individuals that live in the Spooner Area School District interested in enrolling in the school can apply to the charter school by contacting McKinney at mckinneyk@spooner.k12.wi.us or 715-220-3076. Individuals living outside of the school district must open enroll into the district and then apply to the charter school.

County approves mine permit Danielle Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County zoning committee heard testimony from concerned citizens regarding the establishment of a county mine at a public hearing on Tuesday, March 25. Also present at the hearing were Jon Johnson, county highway commissioner; Michael Peterson, county forest administrator; Web Macomber, county zoning administrator; zoning committee members: David Haessig, District 14; Larry Ford, District 17; Nell Lee, District 4; Terry Leckel Jr., District 21; and Lester “Skip” Fielder, District 2. The conditional use permit is for the county highway department to open a 20-acre mine near CTH G and Hwy. 77 in the Town of Frog Creek. “Funding is the main resource needed and in three years we can have those two projects completed ... and then have a stockpile of material there for regular maintenance needs,” said Johnson. An

estimated 80,000 cubic yards of basalt rock will be mined from the site for road improvement projects on CTH G and M. “I am in favor of the gravel pit because we are short of gravel in that area, and this would be a benefit to our town and towns adjoining,” said Bob Haddick, Town of Gull Lake resident. Peterson explained that the county’s forest plan and state statutes allow for local municipalities to purchase rock from a countyowned mine for public works projects. Johnson estimated the mine would remain open for three years and mining could begin this fall. “The reason why we are looking at this area is right now we have some material produced in Hayward, but the cost to bring it from Hayward all the way over is so high because of the fuel,” Johnson explained. Other reasons in favor of establishing the mine included the need for quality rock as construction material, easy site access, the location of the site is

close to the road improvement projects, and no private residences are located near the property. “When you move that sediment around, and there are perfect examples right along Hwy. 53, right along 77 that we did this to, they become environmental deserts,” said Barry Nielsen. The former county forester and county board member’s concerns with the mine are the potential environmental effects of the project’s reclamation plan. The project’s reclamation plan involves mining five-acre sections of land for basalt rock, then placing soil over the mined area and moving to a new section. The site would then be planted with red pine seedlings. Nielsen told committee members that the mine site is surrounded by wetlands, two creeks and located in a unique geographical area called the Minong Copper Range. Nielsen and Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association representatives, Craig Walkey and Fred Blake, asked the com-

mittee to postpone granting the CUP to find alternate locations. Johnson reported that while working with the forestry department to find a suitable site, two other locations were reviewed, but were determined unviable after the forestry department found they were located in the protected forestry zone. Johnson assured the committee that if another viable mine site was found the department would apply for another permit. The CUP for the mine was approved by the committee on a unanimous voice vote. The next step is for the highway department and projects engineer, Cooper Engineering, to formulate an erosion control plan for the project. Once complete the plan will be submitted to the Department of Natural Resources for approval before any excavation can begin. The Frog Creek Town Board has already approved the CUP to the county.

New poll shows Walker ahead of Burke by seven points Marquette University data shows that nothing much has changed in race since January Chuck Quirmbach | WPR STATEWIDE - Republican Scott Walker is ahead of Democrat Mary Burke 47 percent to 41 percent in the latest Marquette University poll on the Wisconsin gubernatorial election. There’s been some television advertising since a Marquette poll in January showed Walker six points ahead of Burke. The new poll shows Walker up by seven points. Marquette political scientist Charles Franklin says the new survey, conducted last week and involving 800 registered

justified to say it’s a lead,” said Franklin. “But ‘widen’ would not be appropriate. A onepoint shift over two months in a sample with a 3-1/2-percent margin of error is a meaningless change.” Franklin says Wa l k e r has some positives, Gov. Scott Walker currently leads Mary Burke by seven points, according including a poll to a Marquette poll. - WPR photos result showing 54 percent of revoters, shows things are about the same spondents say the state is moving in the as two months ago. “A six- or seven-point lead is a lead just right direction and 55 percent back the a little outside the margin of error, so it’s new Republican-created tax cuts.

But Franklin also says the poll shows 58 percent say tax cuts do more to benefit the wealthy than the middle class or the poor. Plus, the poll shows an increase in the number of people who view job creation in Wisconsin as lagging behind other states. Franklin also says the survey indicates only 43 percent feel Walker cares about them, while 51 percent say he doesn’t. “So I think that empathy element to how we see political figures can come to play a role this year,” said Franklin. Franklin says that in the 2012 U.S. Senate race, Democrats were able to portray Republican Tommy Thompson as uncaring. The new poll says 36 percent believe Burke cares about them while 29 percent disagree.

More hypocrisy Since Wisconsin is experiencing a nearly $1 billion surplus, Gov. Walker is touting income and property tax cuts. His words, “the additional revenue should be returned to taxpayers because it’s their money, and my administration will work with the Legislature to determine the most prudent course of action.” That is pretty clear logic from a governor who was hired by the voters, not once, but twice to serve his first term and to serve the voters of Wisconsin. In a news release from his office it is

sad that Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, spins Walker’s logic as pandering to the public for votes. He obviously doesn’t mention anything about his pandering to his special interest groups by fleeing the state to avoid his state Senate duties some time ago. He also shows his contempt for the voting taxpayers by inferring that returning the surplus to their rightful owners is “squandering a surplus.” Ronald E. Nyman Superior

National Student Lunch Program One of the passions of Michele Obama is to address the problem of the number of overweight people in the country, especially the number of obese children. In fact, the National Student Lunch Program has recently changed lunch requirements to require more fresh fruits and vegetables. I believe this change in menu was likely partially in response to her concerns. Unfortunately, there have been reports that students are dumping and not eating more food than before the changes. It appears that nutritional education about the value of eating fruits and vegetables and also the harm of obesity is needed along with menu changes. I have also recently read how government action is leading to higher prices for fruits and vegetables. The Central Valley of California produces half of all fruits and vegetables produced in the country. It also produces 98 percent of the almonds, pistachios and walnuts. Federal and state regulators are severely restricting the water that farmers can have. The regulators use the pretext of saving 3-inch delta smelt from the pumps that send water to the farmers. It is ironic that government biologists kill more smelt each year conducting population surveys than do the delta’s water pumps. Also poor sewage treatment water dumped into the delta

threatens the smelt more than the pumps. In another experiment, environmentalist regulators have drained 400,000-acre feet of water into a dry riverbed to see if cold-water salmon, which haven’t been seen there since the 1940s, will return to the river. This massive diversion of water from farms to San Francisco Bay has caused farmers to let tens of thousands of acres to lie fallow. Kings, Tulare and Merced counties of the Central Valley currently have unemployment rates of 12.8 percent to 14.2 percent as the effects of this reduced farming ripple through the towns and businesses of the area. How can higher priced fruits and vegetables help the citizens to eat more of them? It looks like various units of government are working at cross purposes, and those people in charge of those units are too stupid to realize it. The power of government agents to ruin people’s lives is awesome. Unfortunately it may not be just the farmers that are hurt. School lunch kids and other consumers may be putting on a few more pounds because of government indolence. Maybe Obama should be directing her efforts toward allowing California’s farmers to have more water. James Lewis Shell Lake

Anita Baker, Regional Hospice, registered nurse, left, is shown receiving a donation for the hospice spring fling from Nicolle Olness, UCARE representative. — Photo submitted SIREN — As one of the new sponsors of Regional Hospice Services, Nicolle Olness, UCare Medicare marketing and community relations representative, met with Anita Baker, Regional Hospice nurse, to make a donation to Regional Hospice to help in making the 15th-annual spring fling the best ever. The UCare Foundation funds projects or initiatives that improve the health of the community in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. As Medicare payments generally only cover 85 percent of the cost of providing care for hospice patients and their families, hospice needs to rely on community support and their fundraisers to help cover costs.

Everyone is invited to attend the spring fling on Saturday, May 3, at Lakeview Event Center in Siren. The evening begins with a social hour, followed by a silent auction and various games and board raffles. The dinner will be catered by Adventures Restaurant with entertainment by Bill Bittner’s Memorial Dixieland Band. This event is planned and directed by Kathy Hansen with the help of many hospice volunteers. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call Hansen at 715-205-6425. — submitted by Carol Stage, Regional Hospice Community Outreach

Unions in Dakotas seek workers willing to put down roots

“We want Wisconsin, Minnesota workers to go back home,” says one spokesperson

Patty Murray | Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - An oil boom in North and South Dakota continues to draw many workers from Wisconsin and other states. Now, unions in the Dakotas are hosting a series of construction job fairs aimed at locals, saying employers want people who are willing to settle down in the area. “We want the Wisconsin and the Minnesota workers to go back home,” said Robb Leer, a spokesperson for a consortium of six building trade unions that is hosting a series of job fairs in North Dakota and South Dakota. It’s hard to say exactly how many people from states like Wisconsin have migrated to jobs in the Dakotas. Leer says there is a shortage of skilled construction workers in the region, and that the population boom in the region has increased tax revenue so infrastructure projects are

Leer emphasizes that workers from Wisconsin are still welcome to apply; it’s just that they need to make a commitment to the job. According to Kevin Pranis of the Laborers International Union for North America, many workers who arrive from out of state are making that commitment. “A lot of our members may be coming from other places, but a good number of them are settling down in North Dakota and buying or building homes,” said Pranis. “(They’re) deciding that ... there’s going to be An oil rig in North Dakota. - Photo by Tim Evanson 20 years of work here, I’m going to be here for the next funded and ready to go.

Area news at a glance RICE LAKE — Teen-aged snowmobile riders left marked trails to run down at least two coyotes the afternoon of Saturday, March 22, killing one animal, according to Barron County Sheriff’s officers. Monday morning, county officers closed all of the county’s more than 70 miles of snowmobile trails. A property owner who lives just south of Rice Lake reported the offense. The caller said the three snowmobiles were off the trail and trespassing. The complainant could see the sleds chasing coyotes and “could see the animal flying” through the air. The landowner found one dead coyote, and turned it over to sheriff’s officers. “We found who was involved,” said Officer Dave Moin, “and they were juveniles. We made contact with (the suspects) and their parents, and they were given citations.” Each citation will cost the offender and/or his family $263, he said. — from the Barron NewsShield ••• RICE LAKE — The Rice Lake Zoning Board of Appeals approved two variances for property setbacks and fence height at

Menards on Monday, March 24. The Menards expansion next needs approval from the city planning commission. The company also plans to remove a warehouse and build a bigger one south of the Kohl’s store. It also plans to fill in its existing storm-water pond in that area and make a larger one on the east side of Wisconsin Avenue behind existing residences. A 54inch pipe would connect the site’s existing storm water pipes to the new pond, said Menards real estate acquisition representative Tom O’Neil. One house would be purchased by Menards and removed to accommodate the new storm-water pond. In its request for the fence and setback variances O’Neil stated the variances are needed to move the Menards lumberyard

entrance away from its garden center, where foot traffic and vehicle traffic in the same area cause safety concerns. The wrought-iron and chain-link fence at the boundary will be 10 feet, requiring a second variance because the code requirement is 8 feet. The wrought-iron fence in the garden center will also be increased to 14 feet. “The fence heights needs to be consistently high enough to discourage thoughts of theft,” O’Neil stated. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• SIREN — A Burnett County Sheriff’s Department deputy has received a citation for inattentive driving after being involved in a two-vehicle accident in the village of Siren on Thursday, Feb.

National Public Health Week to be celebrated Be ready in an emergency SPOONER — Washburn County Public Health recognizes National Public Health Week 2014, which will be celebrated April 7-13, by sharing emergency preparedness tips for your health. Disaster preparedness starts with communitywide commitment and action. Washburn County Public Health is here to help you weather the unexpected. Public health professionals help communities withstand the impact of natural or manmade disasters by planning ahead, acting

as a source of health and safety-related information during the crisis and helping to mitigate the long- and short-term effects. Emergencies and disasters come in a number of forms. Severe weather, fire, pandemic flu, chemical exposure, natural disasters and terrorist threats show the range of emergencies that may be faced. However, there are things that you can do to be prepared. • Think about what emergencies you might face. House fires, severe weather, extended loss of power and hazardous driving conditions are examples you may

want to plan for. • Plan ahead. Take the time to talk with your family, friends or other supports in your life. If you need a safe location to meet, where is that place? How will you maintain contact if separated? What are your backup plans? • Don’t forget about children, the elderly, people with functional needs or pets when planning. Each of these groups may need special consideration and planning during an emergency. • Create an emergency kit. Include enough bottled water, nonperishable

food, medications and other necessary items to maintain each person for 72 hours. You may also want to think about having a small amount of cash in your kit in the event that ATMs or banks are not open. Flashlights, a radio and batteries should also be included. More information regarding planning and preparing at home can be found at ready.gov. Visit co.washburn.wi.us/departments/health/ to learn more about public health efforts. — from WCPH

Great health, clear and simple, lecture to be held SHELL LAKE — Jim Renno is from Frederic and teaches theology internationally. During his travels, crossing time zones, long airline flights, walking to remote mountain villages, eating strange foods, he’s learned the value of being physically fit. Now at 61, Renno considers himself in the best shape of his life, and getting better. His classes concentrate on posture,

balance and core strength. He will host a lecture on Monday, April 7, 6-7:30 p.m. at the Shell Lake High School. Renno will introduce you to his journey of restoring his health from head to toe and the lifestyle he claims is stronger than ever before. This class will give insight and share his tips on living out the rest of your life in great health and with a strong body. Four main areas of focus for discussion

will be your feet — posture and balance, back — powerhouse for your body, diet — restoring your body, and mind — remaining active and sharp. This class is for those interested in increasing their awareness of their body, injury-prone or former athletes who want to become active again and those that want to drop weight, have more energy and be proud of the way they look with more

confidence in the way they move. Also, it is for those living in their latter years that want to look forward to unrestricted mobility and pain-free joints. Shell Lake Community Ed will host the lecture. The cost is $8. Register with SLCE at 715-468-7815, ext. 1337 orjensenk@ shelllake.k12.wi.us. — from SLCE

Friends

here is a TV show, “Friends,” that even though the original series ran from 1994 to 2004, continues to be seen in syndication today. Some of you may have watched this show when it was originally on the air while some of you may be getting caught up on the series now. Even though the show portrayed the lives of six people, I am not going to write about their made-for-TV relationships. Instead I am going to share a little bit about the real live friends I have around me. You may have read these quotes about friends before, but I’ll still share them. “Finding a true friend is like finding a gem in the deepest mud. No matter how you dug and got your hands dirty, still, the moment you found it is priceless beyond words. Indescribable, unbelievable, unpredictable and yet a precious thing that is worth a thousand memories.” — from the Board of Wisdom “True friends are like jewels, precious

and rare. False ones are like autumn leaves, found everywhere.” — from A Favorite School Teacher, posted on Beliefnet There are some people in our lives that are easy to talk with and to share our concerns. I have a friend that as we talk we can cover several topics in a few short minutes. Most of the time we aren’t sharing things that are happening in our lives to get advice but rather to sort out our thoughts. We don’t judge each other in the process … although at times I’m sure I have said things that later she has probably pondered and perhaps wondered about. I guess a friendship like this where we share our thoughts could be summed up in the wording I

read on a coffee cup, “You’ll Always Be My Best Friend. You Know Too Much!” There is a time, though, that I am glad I used the advice my friend and co-worker shared with me. After returning from vacation last summer, I told how I had left an ink pen in my knitting bag while the bag sat in the backseat of the car on a hot day. I took out my knitting to continue with the baby blanket I was making for my third grandchild, and I noticed I had ink on my shirt. As I continued, I had ink on my pants leg. What was going on here, I wondered. Turns out the ink pen I had in the bag, to mark when I had completed a row of the pattern, had exploded. I had ink not only on the baby blanket I was currently knitting, but there was also a large inkblot on the shrug I had previously been working on. I didn’t want to throw out my time-involved projects, so I asked my friend, Val, and also co-worker Danielle, if they had any ideas on how

to remove the ugly ink stain. They both got back to me saying to try dabbing rubbing alcohol on the knitted pieces. I did. It miraculously worked! While thinking about friends and friendships the song from “Toy Story,” “You’ve Got A Friend in Me,” keeps going through my mind. I have heard many times the phrase, to have a friend you need to be a friend. For those that are blessed with special friendships, may you continue to nurture and enjoy having friends to share your ups and downs with and to encourage each other. I’ll leave you this quote I recently read. “Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

relationships; but we often fail. We are much more aware of our feelings and fragilities than we let on to loved ones and friends. Maybe by not acknowledging them we hide from the reality that we are in fact not just aging, but are already old. But, I have not met an oldster who wished he had lived in another era. There have been four hallmarks in my aging process; three surprised me and took me back a bit. The last one was like a brick to the forehead. The first was when a student called me “Sir,” the second was when I was age 61 and the principal asked me if I was “all right” as we restrained a student to the floor while awaiting the police, the third was at night when my son waited for me to get into our house after dropping me off, before driving off. Now we oldsters all know that there might be a wheelchair or an attendant or a bedpan in our future. But what recently occurred in a doctor’s office in Harlingen, Texas, was the blow that knocked me into the reality of where I stand in that aging continuum. I was most content with the world, having passed a kidney stone. The doctor said to increase my water intake and then gave me a list of foods to cut back on — chocolate, nuts, dark colas, dark greens, salt and coffee — all my favorites. He then inquired if I had any other concerns. I mentioned that I had significant edema in one leg. Knowing that we had just returned from a 1,600mile trip, he cautioned me to get out of the car more often and walk around when on long trips. Then the good doctor strongly suggested something that I probably had put out of mind for 60 years; a pair of rubber stockings. I had not thought of such an item since I last picked up Grandma Barlow in my ‘51 Ford for Sunday dinner. We were late to that weekly outing as I waited for her to laboriously stretch into her “rubber supports” as she called them. It is only when you are forced from the shadows of being “older” into knee-high flesh-colored elastic supports that you are squeezed into being “old.” It diminishes one’s sense of self — even if you only wear them on a three-day car trip home. And by the by, using the euphemistic term elder does not change the facts. And although decades late, please, please forgive me, Grandma, for making fun of your legs.

Shell Lake youth wrestlers compete at state

MADISON — Shell Lake youth wrestlers Brady Lehnherr, Cassie Lawrence, Koy Hopke and Kale Hopke competed at the Wisconsin State Folkstyle Championship Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29, in Madison. A large contingent of fans made the trip and the wrestlers did not disappoint as everyone picked up wins against the state’s best competition. Brady Lehnherr had leads in all three of his matches and wrestled really well on his feet all day. He lost in the first round 14-4 to a Stoughton opponent, pinned a Chilton wrestler in the consolation round in 29 seconds, before bowing out of the tournament 13-6 at the hands of a Black Hawk opponent. “This experience will prove invaluable going into next year as Brady aims to get on the podium and has shown he has the tools to compete and place high at Madison,” praised coach Byron Hopke. Cassie Lawrence came into weekend as the defending state champion and did not disappoint in collecting her second championship in thrilling fashion, winning

2-1 in the second overtime over a Spartan wrestler. In the semifinals Lawrence defeated a Milton wrestler, 4-0. The finals match was Lawrence’s last match ever as she will be pursuing other options in high school. “Cassie has garnered great respect in the wrestling community and the youth wrestling club will miss Cassie’s contributions,” stated coach Hopke. Koy Hopke put together a solid day in his first trip to the state tournament. He finished the day with four wins and two loses. In the first round, he pinned his opponent from Markesan in 44 seconds in the quarterfinals Koy had his Crivitz opponent locked in a pinning hold but lost track of his own position and ended up losing by a defensive pin. Despite this adversity and sudden defeat, he showed great resolve in battling back in the consolation bracket beating a Nicolet wrestler 4-0, pinning a Stateline opponent in 2:45, then beating his Boscobel opponent 11-0 in setting up a rematch for third place with the same Crivitz wrestler. Despite another battle, Koy lost 7-4, but earned

fourth place out of 16 wrestlers and a spot on the podium. “Koy has had a remarkable year in making the preseason national finals and placing high at the state tournament,” commented coach Hopke. Kale Hopke made his fourth consecutive trip to Madison and looked dominant in reaching the finals this year. He picked up wins against an Evansville opponent 6-0 in the first round, then 7-3 over Brady Lehnherr wrestled very well at state competition in Madihis Shawano opponent in quarterfinals.

Spooner Middle School wrestlers are finishing strong

SPOONER — The Spooner Middle School wrestling team continues its winning ways by hosting a meet on Tuesday, March 25. The Barron Bears, Northwood Evergreens, Northwestern Tigers, Prairie Farm Panthers, and Shell Lake Lakers came to town to face the Rails. Spooner had a very successful night with 36 wins compared to only 12 losses. The Rails came up big with 22 pins, only giving up two. Those getting pins for the Rails were Alex Daniels, one; Gabbi Skidmore, one; Cameron Lewis, two; Sara Adamson, two; Billy Hagberg, three; Dawson LaRue, one; Carter Melton, one; Justin Meister, three; Gavin Tucker, two; Josh Melton, two; Brett Jepson, one; and Josh Carroll, three. With the large space, many coaches complimented the Spooner staff for a job well done. Most teams reported that this was the smoothest meet of the season. On Thursday, March 27, the Rails headed to Cumberland in a snowstorm. However, even the weather couldn’t keep the Rails down. The Rails came to wrestle, gaining 27 wins and 18 pins, compared to 11 losses and giving up three pins. “I was really proud of our team. Every week we have been moving our wrestlers up on the

rankings and they continue to surprise me by doing even better than the week before. It shows that their hard work at practices has been paying off!” coach Jon Griffith stated. The wrestlers getting pins for the Rails were Gabbi Skidmore, one; Lewis, one; Hagberg, one; Triston Ostrom, one; Chase Melton, one; Carter Melton, two; Isaiah Skidmore, two; Meister, one; Tucker, one; Josh Melton, two; Garett Borelli, one; Bryce Carroll, two; Jepson, one; and Josh Carrol , two. Spooner traveled to Cameron on Tuesday, April 1, before hosting the Heart O’ North–Lakeland Middle School Conference Tournament on Friday, April 4. This 20-team tournament is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. Coach Melton stated, “We appreciate all of the help and support for this tournament from the school district, school staff, high school wrestlers and all of the parent support that we receive for this event. We couldn’t do it without you!” Coach Griffith also mentioned, “We also need to add a special thank-you to the Melton and Hagberg families for all of their support throughout the years.

Isaiah Skidmore has his Barron opponent in a cradle. He lost the tough match by a 4-5 decision and will get the opportunity to wrestle him again when they meet at the Heart O’ North – Lakeland Conference meet on Friday, April 4, in Gabbi Skidmore with a takedown of her Northwestern opponent. She is one of the few female Spooner. wrestlers who plans to wrestle when she gets in high school.

Shell Lake track is fully under way RIVER FALLS — Despite the weather, the Shell Lake track program is fully under way. The team participated in their first meet at the University of Wisconsin – River Falls on Saturday, March 29. “This meet is not a meet that I expect the students to compete at their best. Many are nervous and trying to remember what it is like to compete, and all of us are seeing a track, exchange zones, high jump and pole vault pits, shot circles, and sand for the long and triple jumpers to jump into, for the first time. It gives us a great sense of what to work on next and gets us all ready for the season’s competition to re-

ally begin,” stated coach Katrina Granzin. Some personal best highlights from the meet were Colleen Knoop placing first in the shot put with a personal best throw of 33’4.5”, Katie Slater with a personal best in the shot put throw of 26’4.75” and Linden Nelson pole vaulted his personal best with an 8’ jump. — from Shell Lake Athletic Department

Justin came home from school with a note from his teacher. After handing it to his father he stood quietly as he read it out loud. “Mr. Brady, Justin started a fight during recess today and was sent to the principal’s office. Please discuss this matter with him and decide what punishment he should receive.” After reading the note, his father looked him in the eyes and said, “Justin, I’m really disappointed in you. I never thought you would do something like that!” “Dad,” cried Justin, “it wasn’t my fault. It was Danny’s. He hit me first. Cross my heart and hope to die if I am not telling the truth!” No one enjoys being judged for wrongdoing. We all want to believe that we live a life that reflects clean hands, a pure heart and a mind free of evil thoughts. But if we were to be questioned and asked if we lived up to those character traits, not many of us would “cross our hearts and hope to die” if challenged. David knew that his hands were not clean nor his heart pure nor his mind free of evil thoughts. So, he appealed to the mercy and grace of God and cried out to him and said, “Declare me righteous, O Lord, for I am innocent, O Most High.” That wonderful declaration of David was finally and fully answered in Christ. When he called for the righteousness of God to declare him innocent, he knew that it was in God’s nature to forgive him for his sins and to deliver him from his sinful behaviors.

USDA announces extension of Milk Income Loss Contract program

MADISON — U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Administrator Juan M. Garcia announced Monday, March 23, the extension of the Milk Income Loss Contract program. The extended MILC protects dairy farmers enrolled in the program against income loss through Sept. 1 or until a new Margin Protection Program for dairy producers, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, is operational. Contracts for eligible producers enrolled in MILC on or before Sept. 30, 2013, are automatically extended until the termination date of the MILC program. Dairy operations with approved MILC contracts will continue to receive monthly payments if a payment rate is in effect. MILC compensates enrolled dairy producers when the Boston Class I milk price falls below $16.94 per hundredweight, after adjustment for the cost of dairy feed rations. MILC payments are calculated each month using the lat-

est milk price and feed cost, just as in the 2008 Farm Bill. The payment rate for October 2013 through January 2014 marketings is zero. Payment rates during the months after January 2014 until the termination of the MILC program will be determined as the appropriate data becomes available. Since MILC payments are limited to a maximum amount of milk production each fiscal year, dairy operations may select a production start month other than October 2013, the start of fiscal year 2014. Producers who want to select a different production start month must visit their local FSA office between April 14 and May 30. FSA will provide producers with information on program requirements, updates and sign-ups as the information becomes available. For more information on MILC, contact a local FSA county office or visit the FSA website at fsa.usda.gov. — from USDA

SARONA — Tuesday noon, April 8, in the Hunt Hill Program Learning Center garage across from the barn in the main camp, the fourth and final winter soup lunch program of the winter will be held. This lunch and nature program starts at noon and is open to the public on a freewill donation basis. It features homemade specialty soups brought by volunteers, as well as cheese and crackers, chips, dessert bars or cookies and beverages. Come and enjoy the social time and free nature programs with this fun break from the winter blahs.

The program will feature Taylor Johnson, Springbrook, a very personable, old-fashioned, horse-team logger whom many will recognize as the wagon ride driver at the Hunt Hill Prairie Fling festivals the last two years. He specializes in using his gentle two-horse team to get into tight spots or sensitive areas to minimize damage to the environment with low-impact logging projects for landowners in the area. Learn more about these gentle giants, training them, and what kind of and how much work they can do. — from Hunt Hill

“The reality is there, that people do need to get involved in what is happening in their community aside from just partaking in what is being offered,” said Troy Benham, the event’s remaining coordinator. Originally organized by Ernie Zumbrunnen, the event was inspired by the free community films shown in the city park during the 1930s. Benham’s involvement began with open mic music sessions, but at the end of last summer Benham found he was the event’s organizer. Other Monday night events include music performances sponsored by the Shell Lake Arts Center and open mic sessions. Chief Wilson stated that the department has had no problems during or after live music events, stating that most of the activity occurs after dark. The committee passed a motion to recommend that the city council approve the elimination of any Monday night activities in the city park from occurring beyond 9 p.m., unless preapproved by the city council or the city administrator. By consensus, the committee also requested that the parks and recreation committee and city council consider the elimination of Monday Night Movies while allowing the music activities to continue.

Danielle Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — “I like Monday Night Movies, I think we should have them, but the problem is we are getting an element that we cannot control anymore,” said Terry Leckel Jr., Shell Lake City Council Ward 2 alderperson. The general administration committee for the city of Shell Lake deliberated the future sustainability of the weekly summertime event called Monday Night Mmovies during a meeting held on Wednesday, March 26. “The real problem with Monday Night Movies is not the movie. The real problem with Monday Night Movies is it has attracted a certain problem,” pointed out Andrew Eiche, city administrator. An upsurge in vandalism, theft and paraphernalia found in the park after and during the event has led to the city deliberating the event’s possible elimination. “The impact is approximately $1,000 of my part-time budget. If you want me to continue to staff it know that there is a fiscal impact and a staffing concern,” said David Wilson, city of Shell Lake chief of police. Committee members agreed that volunteers are needed to monitor activities taking place during the event.

Monday Night Movies: A cliffhanger

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

Some signs of spring are beginning to appear in our neighborhood. On Saturday afternoon, I noticed that the pussy willows were starting to bud in the swampy places between Barronett and Rice Lake. Then on Sunday afternoon, Duane saw two robins in our yard. I wonder what they are having for dinner at this time of year? The only things I’ve seen them eat are worms, but I doubt that the worms are moving around yet. Oh, one other thing, Duane said that he noticed that the yellow finches are starting to get some color back, too. Won’t be long now folks. Barronett Lutheran youth chairperson, Peg Thompson, accompanied Holly Hendrick, Kaitlyn Yawn and Ethan and Zach Thompson to Christ Jam 2014, the middle school youth gathering, at Bethany Lutheran in Rice Lake this past weekend. Peg and Kaitlyn told us about it Sunday morning, and it sounds like they had a very good time and learned a lot. Justin Grensing surprised his grandpa and grandma, Doug and Pat Sweet, with a visit on Saturday afternoon. They had a very nice visit and Pat and Doug were glad that Justin even had time to have dinner with them before he left. Terry Goodrich stopped by the Sweet farm on Friday to invite Doug to go to a gun show in Shell Lake with him. If you know Doug, you probably know that he would almost never turn down an invitation to a gun show. They went, saw lots of very interesting things, and when he came back he set a little gold jewelry box in front of Pat. She opened it and found a beautiful necklace. Doug said that he was seriously considering buying her a .357 Magnum, but decided jewelry would probably

plenty of fun gifts; there was a lot of good food, and, of course, a birthday cake. Charlie had such a good time she probably will be expecting a party once or twice a week now. Steven Hanson celebrated his 14th birthday at the home of his grandparents, Craig and Deb Lehmann, on Sunday afternoon. There were lots of relatives at the party to help him celebrate, including, of course, his mom, Angela, his stepdad, Shane, and his little brother and sister, Gavin and Adeline Lehmann. And, Adeline, who is 1 year old, learned a brand-new trick guaranteed to drive parents, grandparents and great-grandparents insane. She now knows exactly how to get out of the house using the doggy door. This should be good for a few anxious moments in the near future. The women of Barronett Lutheran will be holding their regular monthly meeting this Thursday, April 3, at 7 p.m., in the church basement. Hope you can join us for that. We need more points of view on decisions we make. Is there anyone else out there who sees a price, for example $8,900, in an ad for a pickup truck and thinks, “Wow, that’s a really good price,” only to find out that that’s the amount a person can save if they hurry in today for this amazing deal. Unbelievable, I hate to give my age away, but nice three-bedroom houses used to cost about as much as a pickup truck does now. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. I hope you marked Saturday, April 12, down on your calendar for the kids Easter party at the Barronett Community Center. I’ll see you next time.

Well it was supposed to get to 60 degrees by 4 p.m. on Sunday. Not sure if it did or not. With the wind so chilly it certainly didn’t feel like it. It’s got to be getting warmer now with spring here. Happy birthday to Stephanie Vanderhoof and also to Alexis Babclik on April 3. Have a great day. A very happy anniversary to Shawn and Tiffany Hopwood as they celebrate six years together on April 5. Enjoy. Bev Cassellious, a very happy birthday to you on April 6. I hope you have a great day, Bev. A very happy anniversary to Cecil and Evelyn Melton on April 8 when they celebrate 70 years together. Next Sunday at the Wesleyan Church in Spooner there will be an open house for the Meltons. Watch for more information in the Register. Wow, 70 years! A very happy anniversary to Marvin and Gladys Knoop as they celebrate 61 years together April 8 with many more to come. Another wow, 61 years! A very happy anniversary to Jim and Evoyne Mogenson as they celebrate their silver anniversary, 25 years together, on April 8. I hope you have many more. A very happy birthday to Kathy Butenhoff as she enjoys her special day on April 8. Have a great day, Kathy. A very happy birthday to Evelyn Melton when she turns 87 years young on April 8 with many more to come. Happy birthday to Ethel Sexton as she enjoys that special day, April 8, with lots more to come. Happy birthday to Karen Hotchkiss as she enjoys her special day on April 9 with many more to come. It’s congratulations to Remington Ladd, son of Jeff and Penny Ladd, who took second in state wrestling on Saturday. Rem is only 11 and his dad is helping him become a great wrestler. Penny and Jeff attended the competition.

be more appreciated. Pat was a little surprised that he didn’t come home with the pistol, too. Doug’s sister, Harriet Spangenberg, who resides in Salt Lake City, Utah, celebrated her 90th birthday on Monday, March 31. Harriet was salutatorian of her graduating class at Cumberland High in 1941. She went on to college in River Falls, became a teacher, and got her first job teaching school at Pine Hills Elementary just east of Barronett. She taught there until the schools consolidated and the little rural school closed down. We hope Harriet had a very happy 90th. Anitia Lehmann had some wonderful news from her doctor this past week. She is finished with the chemo now, you know, and had some final tests done last Tuesday. Well, when she went to the doctor on Thursday, she was told that she was completely cancer free. What a relief! We all kind of assumed that everything would be OK, but it’s so nice to have a doctor confirm that. Anitia, Marilynn Shaurette and I were going to go to Bistro 63 that evening for a girls night out to celebrate the good news, but, naturally, that was the day we got that snowstorm. The roads were so slick that we decided to postpone our girls night out for a week. Actually, though, I had my heart set on Bistro food that evening, and, seeing as how we live right next door, I asked Duane to brave the elements and get some food to go. He did, and it was delicious. I know what you’re thinking, that poor man, he must be a saint. Yup. Little Charlie Lehmann celebrated her first birthday on Saturday with a party hosted by her mom, dad and big brother, Erin, Aaron and Miles Lehmann. There were lots of friends and relatives to help her celebrate. She got

Talking with Sandy Atkinson, she tells us their son, Jimmy, is vacationing in Ireland and Germany. Bad news. Kris Fjelstad’s brother who lives in Arizona is only 46 and has throat cancer. It’s such a young age. On Monday, March 24, Diane Hulleman went to Terraceview. The gals enjoyed putting in plants. Monday, March 31, the group put in more plants. Saturday Diane went to her daughter, Ginny Schnell’s. Diane got to play with her grandson, Jackson. His parents, Aaron and Amanda, were also there as were Amanda’s sister, Kate, Jack Schnell and his pa, John, who used to teach at Shell Lake and was my English teacher, along with Jack’s friend, Steve. All enjoyed lunch at Ginny’s. Jimmy Quam had the misfortunate to dislocate his right shoulder. Somehow he fell in the gutter and dislocated it. Thursday he saw a specialist in Chippewa Falls and he is not to go turkey hunting this spring. However, Jim is practicing to shoot with his left arm. We’re cheering for you Jim. Jim can do a lot of jobs with one hand, he tells his mom, Marie. On Tuesday, Diane Hulleman worked on the election board. The election was for school board also. Diane must be feeling good as she is starting her spring house cleaning. Yes, we have another Crosby to add to the clan. It’s congratulations to Chad and Ashley Crosby who are the parents of a daughter, Joyel Adeline, who weighed in at 7 pounds and 4 ounces. She was 20-1/2 inches long. Grandparents are Garry and Beth Crosby and Doug and Laura Coyour. Great-grands are Dean and Virginia Elkin, Gene and Pat Olson and Glen and Lorraine Crosby. This little girl is special to Lorraine as she came on her birthday. Enjoy that precious little girl. Beth and Garry went to Chad and Ashley’s on Friday afternoon and stayed

with the other children, Chase and Morgan, who were excited to have Mom come home with the new baby on Sunday. Garry and Beth came home Sunday afternoon. Saturday was Karen Vanderhoof’s birthday so Kyle and Karen together baked a birthday cake for Karen. None of the Vanderhoof children were able to come home for Karen’s birthday. It’s true for most of us parents who have grown children. The weather just has been too cold all winter and if it wasn’t cold it was snowing, so they stay home. Understand Noel Knoop has a new job at the Spooner clinic. Good for you, Noel. Saturday, Jerry and Gretchen Best attended a birthday party at Ben and Gale Kobernick’s for Gale’s mom, Lillian, Strege’s, 92nd birthday. Potluck was enjoyed by all with Gretchen’s siblings attending. By the way, Jerry Best says he heard a robin and also saw it in a tree by their house. First robin of the season. Saturday, Butch and Loretta VanSelus attended a gymnastic meet in Rice Lake where their granddaughter, Megan Stone, participated. Later the VanSeluses went out for an ice-cream treat. Matthew and Cory Stone and Reyna and Jameson also attended the meet. I’m just wondering if the people who burn wood have enough for the heating season? I hear there is a shortage of wood this season. The crows have certainly been cawing for the past month or so. Maybe they’re cawing for spring. The warmer temperatures certainly have been helping to melt the snow. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Robins are here. Granddaughter Sara called from Cumberland way after she and Kyle had a flock of eight or 10. Cousin Amber Riley called from Dilly Lake and reported seeing robins over the weekend, too. They must be here because Sarona is just in between. I didn’t have any reports until Elaine Ryan said a flock was eating the old berries in her flowering crab tree on Monday morning. Poor things, with all our snow it could be slim picking. On Monday, March 24, Sarona lost one of their own. A lifelong fixture, Mike West, 67, passed away with stage 4 cancer. Mike, also known as ML, had served our country in the Navy for four years. He was a guy with many talents. He was a great cook, meat cutter, semi driver, carpenter, bartender, card player, fisherman, trapper, hunter, trap shooter and a spoon player whenever there was a band. He was always sharp looking in his Western hat and well-trimmed beard. He did well in whatever he did and will be dearly missed. Mike could be a little rough around the edges sometimes, but he had a heart of gold and was loved and known by many. One could tell that by the steady stream of folks coming to say their goodbyes at his visitation and at the funeral on Friday at the Taylor Funeral home in Spooner. Our deepest sympathy to his family. Tuesday Katie West started her spring volleyball league at school with upcoming games in April and May. Maddie West and her Girl Scout troop went Friday afternoon to an overnight camp in Minnesota. She reports a great time with rock climbing and going on the rope course. Riley West had a friend stay overnight Friday to squeeze in one last time snowmobiling around the farm before the snow melts. Marion, Dawn Raymond and Natasha came home this past weekend to enjoy seeing “Bye Bye Birdie” at the

Spooner High School. The students did a terrific job and never knew it was that funny reported Brenda Zaloudek. Sympathy to the family of Bev Hanson, 79, Rice Lake. She is the sister of Bob and Jack Dahle and Sharon Gruenhagen. Her funeral was March 25 at Skinner Funeral Home in Rice Lake. Elaine Ryan played pool in the women’s pool tourney at the Prime on Saturday with the Klopp’s Team. They took third place out of nine teams playing. Good going girls. A couple of weeks ago some locals got together for a fun time of snowmobiling. Enjoying the day were Jake West, Tim Frey, Jim Frey, Roger Lundeen, Wayne Haynie, Randy Carlson, Jerry Larson, Bob Sigmund and Russ Furchtenicht. Jack and Judy Stodola, Onalaska, spent Wednesday and Thursday here with his ma, Virginia Stodola. Virginia took in the 30th-anniversary open house of Silver Shears in Shell Lake and reports it was nice. Pam Cernocky, Elk Mound, and Joyce Wade, Spooner, visited Mavis Schlapper one day. Mavis Schlapper attended daughter Pam’s surprise 60th birthday party and stayed over Saturday. She reports it was really nice. All her kids except Dean were there, along with a lot of Pam’s neighbors and friends attending. Many more is wished for her. Willie Lombard returned last week after a three-week visit in Alaska with his siblings up there. It was nice to see Ray Johnson out and about after his recent surgery. Keep on the mend now, Ray. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht took grandkids, Jillian and Jaxson, to the Elk River water park last Friday night and Saturday and had a fun time. This Sunday they went to the Prime in Trego to celebrate her sister, Sue Weather’s, birthday, with her folks, Ralph and Arlene

Van Meter, Sue’s husband Tooker and his folks Bun and Margaret Weathers, Kerri and Aaron Gombodi, Zach and JoEllen Weathers and Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht and kids. Many more are wished for Sue. I went along with daughter Mary Marschall and 10 others to Wausau for state bowling. She took us in the motor home and she can handle it well. All had a super great time, staying at Days Inn. We left Friday evening and stayed until Sunday night. They don’t have nearly as much snow left as we have here. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht stopped down Sunday evening so I got caught up with the weekend news. Folks will be busy sapping now with these warmer days and cool nights. Prayers go out for those in the mudslides in Washington state. Now that April is here we can dream of green grass and tulips. Birthdays this week include Bev Gallo, Mike Johnson, Randy Wingler, Isaac Cusick, Larry Lee and Kenny Reiter, April 3; Dewey Durand, Tony Donetell, Paul Hagan, Ben Reiter, Julie Shockley and April Richter, April 4; Matt Kubista, Stephanie Hemshrot and Kris Anderson, April 5; Russ Furchtenicht, Stacy Bernecker, Lukas Pokorny and Andrew Baker, April 6; Rocky and Corey Furchtenicht, Shania Pokorny, Elvina Lalan, Mary Lee Tautges and Kierra Harrington, April 7; Danielle Ryan and Richard Scheffel, April 8; Mary Scheffel, Roger Lancette, Luke Anderson, Ronnie Christianson, Henry Baker, Margie Waggoner and twins Jasper and Nikell Hagen turn 6 on April 9. Have a happy one. Anniversary wishes to Kevin and Laurie Smith and Andy and Elizabeth Meyers, April 6; Dean and Kim Schlapper, April 7; Tom and Gloria Elliott and Jim and Vonnie Mogensen, April 8; and Mike and Jill Hanson, April 9.

It’s so nice to have some warmer weather. It’s just a matter of time when we will see grass again. Hang in there. A big welcome to Stone Lake: A new coffee shop will be opening in Stone Lake. Andy and Connie Perry are reopening the Sleeping Bear Coffee Shop located on Hwy. 70. Andy and Connie are originally from Iowa, and owned a cabin on Lac Courte O’Reilles for 30 years and are building a new home on Little Sand Lake. Their coffee shop has been totally remodeled with new equipment and they are trying to make a cozy spot for friends and tourists and to meet and have a coffee, smoothie or latte and just plain relax. They are tentatively planning on opening on May 1 at 7 a.m. During May they will be open from Friday through Monday. After that they will be open Thursday through Monday. Backroads Coffee will be offered along with their beverage menu including pastries, snack items, retail coffee and gift items. During the summer they plan on featur-

Heart Lake

ing bakery items each week in hopes to promote afternoon coffee with a snack and an opportunity to meet more people of the warm and inviting community of Stone Lake. There will be Wi-Fi and even a little private area for those who wish not to be disturbed. Their experience in catering teas makes them a good choice for club meetings, social gatherings, card parties, anything that a small group would like to have, with just a little of the ambiance of the North Woods. Call them at 715-865-2289 to arrange a gathering of friends. They are also looking for part-time help and will post applications in a box outside the door of the coffee shop. If you would like to be considered for the scholarship in memory of Marilyn Kissinger you can pick up an application at Stone Lake Medical Clinic. Application deadline is Friday, May 2. Pastors Ed Anderson, First Lutheran Church, and Tim Young, Wesleyan Church, are alternating the Lenten services in Stone Lake. The service on April 9 will be at the

Wesleyan Church with the theme of Broken Justice. Soup and sandwiches will be served at 6 p.m. and the service will begin at 6:45 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Don’t forget the Easter Feed-A-Family Campaign is going on in Stone Lake. A donation of $25 will fill a bag for a family or elderly individual in our community. If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. If you know of someone that may be in need of one of these food bags, please contact Jim Bergeron, manager of the Lakes Community Co-op, 715-865-6989. A reminder that there will be a Stone Lake Music Night this Saturday, April 5, from 6-9 p.m. at the Stone Lake Lions Hall. All are welcome and admission is free. The event will feature local musicians playing a variety of Irish tunes. Have a good week and be safe! Mary Nilssen can be reached at 715-865-4008 or upnorthnils2@gmail.com.

Monday morning and it is a dreary day. Maybe that’s a sign of snow coming. I hope not, we’ve had enough. At least the drifts are melting and we can see out to the road. Wasn’t Sunday a beautiful day? Sympathy to the West family. Mike West passed away and funeral services were held in Spooner on Friday. John and Mary Marschall went to the services.

Al and Beth Lawrence hosted the Shell Lake Primary School 4K class on their Town of Dewey farm on Thursday, March 27, to learn about sheep. It was a fun and informative field trip for the young students. Carter Mullinex found a cat that likes him as much as he likes the cat. It is nice when it works out like that.
