New fire hall benefits community

Danielle Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — The Spooner Fire District first began planning to construct a new fire hall in 2001. On Thursday, May 1, the fire district moved into their newly completed hall. “We’re pretty happy with this,” said Darren Vik, chief of the Spooner Fire District, as he gestured to the district’s new fire hall. “For the money that was spent it turned out to be a nice building.” The building was funded by a $900,000 15year fixed-rate loan that will be repaid from

the district’s existing capital building fund and from the yearly operating budget. The district also plans to utilize funds from the sale of the current property, $183,000 of capital building fund balance and any donations from the community. At an estimated cost of $1.1 million and over a decade in the making, the district made sure every square inch of the facility would be utilized. Vik said there will be no tax increase for resi-

Monday night movie events to continue

Danielle Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake City Council voted to allow the Monday night music and movie event to continue after hearing testimony from invested individuals at the council’s regular monthly meeting held on Monday, May 12. Originally organized by Ernie ZumBrunnen, the event was inspired by the free community films shown in the city park during the 1930s. At the end of last year Troy Benham found himself as the event’s remaining organizer. Benham originally got involved with the

event through the open mic music sessions. Earlier this spring a recommendation was brought to the city council to discontinue Monday night events due to the lack of community support and an increase in unwanted activities that happened during the event. Since first broaching the topic of discontinuation the city has advertised for potential event volunteers in the hopes of receiving a supportive response. According to Andy Eiche, city administrator, no such volunteers came forward from the advertisements posted.

“Although we did not receive any responses from the advertisement itself there were three gentlemen that expressed a good deal of interest in spearheading the volunteer effort,” said Eiche. Those men are Troy Benham, Bill Jenderny and Ken Schultz. Eiche also reported to the council that he received an email that morning from Michelle Voight, Washburn County Tourism executive director. In the email, Voight states her and two other individuals’ intention and ability in volunteering for at least one movie night per month.

“If that is the community’s take on it and it is dwindling and dying then this may just need to be the last year of it, if we can’t kick it in the pants and get things going. That is my take, that is my stand, so that if at the end of the year things don’t really shape up I might be turning in the keys and the equipment,” stated Benham. The full meeting story is available on the Washburn County Register’s website at wcregisteronline.com.

Public hearing set to address future of Hwy. 53 in Washburn County SPOONER — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northwest Region office in Spooner will be holding a public hearing to consider the Section 84.295(10) future expressway aspects of the proposed improvement of Hwy. 53 in Washburn County. The public hearing is planned for Wednesday, May 21, at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station located at W6646 Hwy. 70, Spooner. The public hearing will be conducted from 5-7 p.m. Interested people may attend anytime be-

tween 5 and 7 p.m. to review displays and other hearing materials, ask questions and provide testimony. The traditional-style portion of the public hearing will begin at 6 p.m. and will end when all interested people have provided testimony or 7 p.m., whichever occurs first. The traditional-style portion of the public hearing will begin with an informational project presentation prior to accepting traditional-style testimony from the public. The proposed action consists of the

adoption of an official map that establishes the location and right-of-way widths for future improvements to Hwy. 53 between Hwy. 70 in Spooner to 0.75 mile north of Schnagel Road in Trego. The proposed action does not include immediate programming of construction funds but is designed in such a way to allow incremental construction and funding over time to improve the expressway facility. The meeting facility is wheelchair accessible. Hearing-impaired people need-

ing assistance may call the Wisconsin Telecommunication Relay System, dial 711. To allow time for arranging assistance, please call no later than three working days prior to the hearing. For additional information about the proposed improvements, interested people may contact the WisDOT project manager, Marc Bowker, W7102 Green Valley Road, Spooner, WI 54801, 715-635-4975 or send email to Marc.Bowker@dot.wi.gov. — from WisDOT

Darren Vik, Spooner Fire Department chief, points to the hydrant that the new fire hall has installed indoors, a small change that has many benefits. The Spooner Fire Department began the move into the new fire hall on Thursday, May 1. — Photos by Danielle Moe

New fire hall/from page 1 dents of the fire district since payments for the new facility were built into the operating budget over past years. “It was used as a way to start setting money aside for a building and now is turned into the bank loan payment,” he noted. The new facility includes two buildings: the apparatus building and the office building. Each building is outfitted with improvements that have benefits for both the district and the community it serves. Of the many issues the district faced in the original hall, built in 1905, space was becoming the biggest issue. At the time of the move to the new facility the district’s vehicles were stored in three different locations. The space around vehicles was limited, making indoor maintenance work impossible. The new 80’x120’ apparatus building has enough space between

vehicles for cleaning and maintenance to be done inside, complete with suspended air hoses. The ability to clean and store the vehicles indoors is a large improvement. Like all vehicles, road salt can cause wear on fire trucks, shortening their life span. Vik expects the vehicles to last for a greater period of time as they can now be cleaned and stored indoors, limiting the corrosive damage from salt and dirt. One bay of the apparatus building has a unique feature, a fire hydrant. Vik explained that the indoor hydrant allows water tanks to be filled on-site instead of driving to a nearby hydrant and then responding to a fire. The indoor hydrant cuts water fill time from 20 minutes down to two minutes. The apparatus building also has a communications room fitted with four large windows looking out into the three vehicle bays for effective coor-

dination during emergencies. This room is where the radio is located: The connection between firefighters already on-scene to those ready to respond, the dispatchers and other emergency personnel. A separate room, called the clean room, is appropriately named as it is the area where firefighters’ air packs are taken apart, sterilized and refilled before reuse. The addition of this room takes the department up to code and is a National Fire Protection Association standard. The space above those two rooms is also utilized in what now is a large open area. This area will soon be used as a combined storage and training area. An interesting feature located in one portion of the half wall is a gate that can be removed and a ladder attached for training exercises. The second building, the 64’x60’ office building, is constructed but the interior work is still under way. Vik explained

LEFT: The lockers used to hold firefighters’ gear were reconstructed from the lockers in the original fire hall.

that construction on the apparatus building took longer than expected, pushing the total project completion date back. The office building will hold the district’s administrative offices and first official meeting room. The building will also be set up as an incident command post for emergency situations. “There is more work to do, we’re not done but I’m happy with how things have turned out so far,” said Vik. The Spooner Fire District provides structural protection and emergency services to the citizens, business and organizations within 11 towns and the city of Spooner. The district geographically covers more than 335 square miles and is one of the largest structural fire protection areas in Wisconsin.

Please support TNR Over the years, stray cats have made our farm their home. We have always taken care of these cats; both friendly and feral. However, the numbers were getting out of control, and due to the costs associated with sterilization, we needed help. We are grateful to The Winston Project organization, who recently provided that assistance with needed funding. We were able to sterilize both the friendly and the feral cats using a nationally approved effective and humane practice called Trap, Neuter, Return. All of the cats were re-

leased and will continue to be fed and provided with shelter for the remainder of their lives. And most importantly, no more kittens will be born. I thank the Winston Project volunteers for all their help. Please donate to this project so that others can be assisted in slowing down the cat population, which will also help our local shelters by lowering intake numbers. Ruth Butzler Cumberland

City needs to cover drainage holes to protect animals Our son, Hans Cathers, and a neighbor recently rescued a cat out of a drainage hole kitty-corner from us. Hans called 911 to come and help take care of the cat. The sheriff’s office told them they had an emergency and would come later, but they never came. The cat needed water and food. A couple of kids came and took the cat home. They gave the cat food and cleaned the cat

up. Hans is checking on the cat. The cat may have to be put down. The cat needed to go to the animal shelter. If Hans or I did something to the cat, it would be animal cruelty. The city needs to put screens on the drainage holes so no animal can fall down them. Renate Cathers Shell Lake

Canoe Heritage Day summer kickoff

Community problem needs community support The Winston Project is a low-cost spay/ neuter program that was initiated because of a community problem which, gone unchecked, has resulted in a high cat population. We are pleased that the WCAHS recently introduced an all-new low-cost spay/neuter program, a testimony to the need. But this complex problem will not be solved through small vouchers given to a restrictive population and to the owners of just household cats. The owners of household cats typically go out in search of a companion animal and can usually afford the cost of sterilization. In fact, 91 percent of all household cats are sterilized. These are not the cats that are causing the problem. The cats that must be addressed are the unsterilized stray/lost cats, the cats that are put outside due to inside issues, and the cats that are abandoned by less than responsible people. These are the cats that find their way to farmyards, to back alleys or to the doorsteps of individuals who, out of compassion, provide food and shelter. Yet, because these individuals are not the owners of what are sometimes called community cats and because of sterilization costs, they quickly find themselves overwhelmed with large populations that

spiral out of control as litter after litter of kittens are born. Some of the kittens are given away to people who may, or may not, be able to afford the cost of sterilization. Some of the kittens may be the offspring of feral cats and likewise become unadoptable. Some of the kittens may remain where they are born or wander off to another food source. Regardless, all of these unsterilized kittens contribute to an evergrowing problem. At the age of 4 months a female can have her first litter, and in just four years this female, along with a male and their offspring, can produce 2,000 kittens. This endless cycle requires a community resource that will assist residents in stabilizing large cat populations and not just household cats. The Winston Project is the first endeavor in Washburn County to offer such a community resource, a resource that will have the greatest population control impact. However, in order to keep the project afloat, community support is needed to solve this community problem. Visit us on Facebook at facebook.com/ thewinstonproject or call 715-468-7727.

The Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum in Spooner is preparing for the fourth-annual Canoe Heritage Day on Saturday, May 24. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. the free event will be held in front of the museum at 312 N Front St. - Photo submitted SPOONER – The Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum in Spooner is preparing for the fourth-annual Canoe Heritage Day on Saturday, May 24. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. the free event will be held in front of the museum at 312 N Front St. “I couldn’t be more excited about our upcoming boat show,” says WCHM President Mike Johnson, “last year we had canoes bought, sold and swapped. Our exhibitor applications this year include some of the finest canoe builders in the Midwest, plus offerings from many talented local builders.” The event will include a wooden boat show featuring canoes, boats and canoe related materials of all types from classic to modern styles. Wooden watercraft enthusiasts are expected to come from all over bringing with them their historic and unique vessels. The event will also feature live music from The Porch Dogs, museum tours and open house in the museum exhibit hall, the unveiling of a new 2014 annual exhibit, and food and beverage available in the beer garden. Over 20 exhibitors are expected to attend, including individuals, commercial entities, nonprofits, authors, government agencies, educators, crafters and businesses whose products or services are relevant to boaters and owners of wooden boats and canoes. Inside the museum exhibit hall, visitors will have the opportunity to view the new 2014 annual display. The display will focus on the sporting heritage of the Bois Brule River in the latter half of the last century while celebrating the rustic architecture influenced by the Adiron-

dack Great Camps that sprang up along the rivers banks. “The Bois Brule also inspired two 20th century canoe builders to evolve craft particularly well suited to the demands of her waters,” explained WCHM Display Curator Alan Craig. “Joe Lucius and John LaRock built craft that were durable, elegant, and met the needs of both guide and sport. The WCHM is lucky enough to have an example of each in its collections.” A prominent role in the display will be played by both the LaRock and a newly acquired Lucius craft. While folks are winding their way through the boat show and the exhibit hall, the celebration out front will continue with live music from The Porch Dogs, local favorites that offer a lively mix of country, rockabilly, honky tonk, blues, and roots music. Bob Berg and Tim Sears are featured on guitar and Gary Nielsen plays keyboards. You can expect to hear some Haggard, Cash, Yoakam, Jerry Lee, Prine, Jerry Jeff and many other favorites. Visitors can take a break and relax with some great summer fun food and beverage in the beer garden while listening to the music. In 2010 the Wisconsin State Legislature proclaimed Saturday, May 24, to be Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Day. All of the activities of Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Day are produced by the WCHM, a 501c3 nonprofit and volunteer-led organization devoted to the preservation and interpretation of the cultural heritage of canoes and canoeing in North America.

New equipment purchase approved Danielle Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — The Spooner City Council approved the recommendation to purchase a new loader among other agenda items during their regular monthly meeting held on Tuesday, May 6. The resolution to purchase a new 2014 John Deere loader was approved by the city council on a unanimous vote. According to Mayor Gary Cuskey’s review of two quotes, one for a used machine and one for a new machine, even though

the new machine’s cost is $11,000 above what the city originally estimated, it was still the city’s best option. Reasoning for this came down to the machine being a model year newer and the machine came fitted with an automatic bucket attachment, a $12,000 item alone. According to Cuskey the city’s current attachment has been used on the last three machines and needs to be replaced. It was determined that the city will benefit more in the long run from pur-

chasing the new machine, which would cost about $71,000 plus trade-in. The cost difference between the used machine and the new one was found to be about $3,000. A total of $60,000 was set aside in this year’s budget for the purchase, with the current machine to be used as a tradein at a value of $68,000. The remaining $11,000 in cost will come from the city’s equipment budget. In other council news, the remainder of the Spooner Memorial Library’s roof re-

placement project will be completed this summer. The council approved the $7,900 project bid from Cahill Construction. According to the agenda, $3,589 was bid for labor and $4,310 was bid for materials to complete the project. The city council also approved a recommendation from municipal operations to award contract bids on the yearly maintenance needs in the city. A total of seven bids were approved by the council for potential city projects.

Former Gov. Patrick Lucey dies at 96 Shawn Johnson | WPR MADISON - Former state Gov. Patrick Lucey, a man being described by friends and family as a statesman who got things done, died on Saturday night, May 9, at the age of 96 after a brief illness. Former Gov.Tony Earl was a Democratic state legislator when Lucey was sworn into the executive office in 1971. What followed, Earl says, was a record of accomplishment no governor can match. “I truly believe he was the most effective governor in Wisconsin in the last 100 years, and that includes the Robert M. LaFollette years,” said Earl. “‘Battle Bob,’ to take nothing away from him, could get people riled up, (and he) proposed lots of

things. But he had a lot of trouble getting things passed. Pat didn’t stir the fire very much, but boy, he got a hell of a lot done.” Lucey created the University of Wisconsin System as it’s known today, merging UW-Madison with campuses around the state. He also signed a same-day voter registration law, and created Wisconsin’s shared revenue system. Earl, who went on to serve in Lucey’s cabinet, says Lucey was a Democrat who was able to work with Republicans. “We had permanent allies, or as much as you could want permanent allies,” said Earl. “No permanent enemies.” Former Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle says Lucey built relationships in politics to accomplish his agenda.

“In many ways, he was Lyndon Johnson without all the rough edges,” said Doyle. “He was a politician in the best sense of the word.” Lucey and Doyle’s father worked to organize Wisconsin’s modern Democratic Party, and Lucey served in the Legislature with Doyle’s mother. Doyle says there was a tremendous loyalty to Lucey among Democrats because of what he did for the party, but Lucey never let it go to his head. “Pat Lucey was a great governor,” said Doyle. “He was a great political leader. But the thing about Pat Lucey is he was even a better man.”

Tomatoes and peppers highlight annual plant sale SPOONER - Think summer, think vegetable gardening and what almost invariably comes to mind is tomatoes. Sun-ripened, fresh-from-the-vine tomatoes so full of flavor they almost make a person swoon. That is what the North Country Master Gardener Volunteers Association plans to put into the hands of gardeners on Saturday, May 17, at its 12th-annual plant sale. Specially chosen heirloom tomatoes and a variety of peppers will be featured at the sale. Due to spring’s late arrival this year,

perennials will not be offered. Heirloom tomatoes were the cornerstone of the group’s very first plant sale. Since then, NCMGVA has increased the number of heirloom choices and added a few of their favorite hybrid varieties. The tomato and pepper plants are started from seed and grown by volunteers specifically for the sale. Though hundreds of the plants will be at the sale, they tend to sell out quickly, and gardeners are advised to go early for the best selection. The sale begins at 8 a.m.

at the Spooner Ag Research Station and runs until the plants are sold out. The proceeds go toward supporting the Teaching and Display Garden that is open to the public on Orchard Lane, just east of the Ag Research Station, for garden-related grants, for promoting horticulture in Sawyer, Washburn and Burnett counties, and other horticultural projects. Master gardener volunteers come together from many backgrounds. They find common ground in their appreciation for growing plants, whether edible or

ornamental. They are trained volunteers who assist the University of Wisconsin Extension staff by helping people in the community better understand horticulture and the environment, and they donate thousands of hours’ worth of their time each year toward that end. Further information about the sale can be found at wimastergardener. org/?q=NorthCountry. - submitted

ICHC updates bylaws and receives information from ADRC at annual spring meeting Suzanne Johnson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — At their annual spring meeting, members of Indianhead Community Health Care Inc. voted to accept changes to their bylaws, heard updates on the care facilities in Shell Lake and received information on dementia and Alzheimer’s. The dinner meeting was held Monday, May 5, at Peggy’s Place in Shell Lake. After Linda King, ICHC president, opened the meeting, Nancy Furchtenicht, vice president, introduced guest speaker Anna Brown, information and assistance specialist with Washburn County Aging and Disability Resource Center. Brown supplied ICHC members with a gift bag containing information on dementia and Alzheimer’s along with a test to measure thinking abilities. Also provided in the packet was a directory of the various resources available to residents of Washburn County. During the business portion of the meeting, Paul Naglosky, Indianhead Medical Center administrator, shared that Dr. Eugene Rigstad has become a partner at the Shell Lake Clinic. Naglosky stated

that there haven’t been any major changes in department managers at the hospital other than in medical records since the passing of Trudy Druschba. Kurt Graves, administrator of Terraceview Living Center, commented that TLC is at 48-50 beds full and that Master Gardener volunteers will be preparing the flower gardens for the Walk of Memories. Joni Parker reported that ICHC received six applications for scholarships. Four applications for continuing education have been received from employees of IMC, TLC, Glenview and the Shell Lake Clinic. Parker reminded members of the Relay For Life in Shell Lake on Friday, May 30, from 6 p.m.-midnight. She also informed the group of Don’t Fry Day on Friday, May 23, a day to encourage sun safety. ICHC sponsored Mini Medic Day at IMC on Tuesday, April 15. Peg Pockat organized the event for Shell Lake firstgraders, giving them the opportunity to tour the hospital. Other ICHC volunteers assisted and handed out gift bags supplied by the organization. Lovelites is a major fundraiser for ICHC. Jan Ogden and King will be or-

ganizing the project this year. They are hoping to have the Lovelite tree decorated with lights named in memory or in honor of individuals centrally located for display during the holiday season, along with new signage. Lifeline, another fundraising project for ICHC, is operating with 60 units at this time. At the Northwest District meeting held Wednesday, April 2, in Park Falls, local members named to the district board were Jude Bolterman, chair; Linda Nielsen, treasurer; and King, secretary. The fall district meeting will be held Tuesday, Oct. 28, at the Shell Lake United Methodist Church. ICHC currently has 48 paid members. Named to the nominating committee were Sue Weathers, past president; Bolterman, board appointment; and Graves, member at large. The ICHC fall dinner meeting will be held Monday, Nov. 3. Anyone interested in joining ICHC, an organization that promotes the health and well-being of the Shell Lake community, may contact Patti Naglosky at 715-822-2367.

Shell Lake Police Department to mobilize for Click It or Ticket

Safety belt enforcement from May 19 to June 1

SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Police Department will join hundreds of law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement mobilization from May 19 to June 1.

“Our officers will be on the lookout day and night for unbuckled motorists. If you’re not wearing a safety belt, we will stop your vehicle and you will get a ticket,” said Chief of Police Dave Wilson. “During the Click It or Ticket mobilization and throughout the year, we stringently enforce Wisconsin’s mandatory safety belt law to motivate motorists to buckle up every time they drive or ride in a vehicle. Tragically, too many people are

needlessly injured or killed because they believed a crash would never happen to them so they did not buckle up.” In Wisconsin, approximately one out of five motorists does not buckle up, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. More than half of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes in 2011 were not wearing safety belts. Last year, there were more than 100,000 convictions for failure to fasten a

seat belt. “Consistent safety belt use is the most effective protection against being ejected from a vehicle during a crash or thrown around violently inside it and possibly hitting another person in the vehicle with massive force,” Wilson said. “Our officers take safety belt enforcement seriously in an effort to reach the ultimate goal of zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.” — from Shell Lake Police Department

Passing along some information This week I am sharing some thoughts that were sent to me by a friend several months ago. Unfortunately when a person receives something via an email, the original writer of the words is often omitted, therefore credit is difficult to give where credit is due. I am hoping at least one of the following sentences will either bring a smile to your face or make you stop and ponder for a moment what you have read. A day without sunshine, is like night.

On the other hand, you have different fingers. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. He who laughs last thinks slowest. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.

Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments. OK, so what’s the speed of dark? When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges? Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get

sucked into jet engines. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice? Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, “What the heck happened?” Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. Life isn’t like a box of chocolates. It’s more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today might burn you tomorrow.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner A case for the basket by Mary B. Olsen any people collect things for their amusement. I like baskets. There are too many in my house, but I have a desire to always have more baskets. They come in such wonderful shapes and sizes, and colors. I can’t resist them. I entered a store the other day where there was a sign saying, “Baskets Half Price.” There were many really great kinds. I almost bought a number of them. No, I didn’t buy one. Usually I am helpless when I see a basket and I want to possess it. I went away without one. It’s like an addiction, or it is an addiction. I love baskets. I don’t know if there is a support group I could join to help me get rid of my craving for these baskets. There was a little item in the news about a proposed ban on plastic bags. It did not pass. So shoppers will still have something in which to carry their

purchased items. This is a hopeful sign for me. The idea behind this push for denying people plastic bags is that they are harmful to the environment and they mess up our beautiful scenery. Like these folks against the bags, I have seen a bag once in a while up a tree along a road and it was noticeable. Looks bad. Nobody likes those indestructible plastic bags flying in the wind. However, they serve a purpose. Consider for a moment what the outdoors would look like if we didn’t have bags. Instead of bags scattered around, we would have actual purchased items to mar the scene. People would still buy things. And maybe they would have to carry them balanced on their heads, or they might hire some people to carry the items in their arms. The bags save us energy when we don’t have to carry things one item at a time. Sure, energy is used to manufacture the bags, but what about our energy? I think it is young people who think they should ban the bags. They don’t know

what it’s like to have nothing to hold your things. You need your hands free to maintain your balance, sometimes. One nice thing about plastic bags is the clerks in the stores don’t fill them very full. It’s a lot easier to hold two bags, one in each hand, when carrying them full of groceries. For ages the stores have sold us nice sturdy cloth bags that we can bring with us and use as containers for items purchased. This is good. Why do they have to ban the other kinds of bags? If everyone used the cloth bags we would not need a ban on plastic. Sure, but how often do you shop without a bag? Then you must have a container. Years ago we were given paper bags. We can still find them useful. For me, the kind of bag I prefer is not a bag at all. I have always found baskets delightful. The idea of baskets probably has been around for ages. I think women in ancient cultures made baskets from nearby plant fibers. The ancients may not have survived without containers. They made pottery, sure, and simple woven baskets, convenient for storing food. I don’t think men first thought of making baskets. It had to be women. Men have always decided to pick up and go to another place and they had to forge a trail. The women

had to follow along. There’s only so much you can carry in your arms. When there are children, they may need carrying. The household necessities for their livelihood had to be carried. Other countries have used baskets forever. They have special baskets for carrying chickens, and for flowers. Even people who live near a market and can shop for foods used each day need to have something provided by the merchant in which to carry the purchases. I have enjoyed making a few baskets myself. I have crafted one by crocheting binder twine into a basket shape. I also made a number of baskets crocheted from plastic. I tied plastic bread bags together and rolled them into balls, and crocheted with them, just as if they were yarn. A bird has fashioned a plastic bag into its nest in my backyard maple tree. It did that last spring. That had to be a very clever bird. He or she probably saved herself or himself a lot of trips to find nesting material by using the bag. I am afraid the people against plastic bags will continue to push for this change and we will be forced to give up our bags. My idea to combat this is to begin hoarding bags. I think I have some baskets I can fill with plastic bags.

Spooner Middle School cleanup community project held

Several selected houses in the community were chosen for help. The owners were unable to do the work themselves, so Mr. Helland’s students rolled up their sleeves, so to speak, and did the needed yard work. Shown (L to R): Bryce Kessler, Helland, Shannon Rajchel, Taylor Shutt, Summer Marske, Lauren Johnson, Cody Gullickson and Thor Braenne. Cleaning the benches in anticipation of Memorial Day at the Spooner Veterans Memorial Park were McKenna Anders, Andrea Ralston and Allison Schroeder.

McKenna Anders, Andrea Ralston and Allison Schroeder had fun being out of the classroom and giving back to the community by raking leaves at the city park.

Spooner Middle School Service Learning Day was held Tuesday, May 6, as students from the middle school fanned out into the community to do their part in keeping Spooner a beautiful community. Shown (L to R): Peter Santana, Natasha Chastek, Madelynn Graham, Joseph Trcka and Bryce Sahr.

TITW performs “Alice in Wonderland”

In a lively conversation, the Red Queen and White Queen try to explain Wonderland to Alice 1. Performing in the main roles were Spooner and Shell Lake High School students Rylee Nelson, Dakota Robinson and Kaylee Peck.

Alice 2, who is played by Tiffany Romportl, and the Cheshire Cat, played by Jacob McNulty, carry on an entrancing but confusing conversation. Everything in Wonderland is not what it seems.

In a special ceremony at the end of the last performance on Sunday, May 11, director Jody Peck pays tribute to Mariah Schultz who performed in her last children’s production. Since she was old enough to walk, Schultz has been performing in plays and musicals at St. Francis School, TITW and Spooner High School. She has been supportive of the younger actors.

The Queen and King of Hearts cross-examined the Mad Hatter in Alice’s trial. Shown (L to R): Katie Hayward, North Hinze and Spencer Peck. The Theatre In the Woods production of “Alice In Wonderland” played to sold-out audiences at the Erika Quam Theatre on Friday, May 9, through Sunday, May 11.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum were played by Shell Lake Elementary students Layne Olson and Noah Savas.

Humpty Dumpty, played by Zach de la Cruz, is despondent after Alice 1, played by Kaylee Peck, recites the poem “Humpty Dumpty.” It is the saddest thing he has ever heard.

Rainy week for sports

Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In area sports it seems that the weather played the biggest role as many games this week were called because of rain. The Shell Lake softball team got in a game Tuesday, May 6, with Turtle Lake/ Clayton beating them 13-4. The doubleheader against Grantsburg was called off because of rain as the team bus was entering Grantsburg. On Saturday, they got in three games in near-perfect weather beating Ashland 11-1, Flambeau 11-3 and Drummond 15-0. On Thursday, May 15, they will travel to Unity. The team will host Webster/Siren on Monday, May 19. The Shell Lake baseball team played Turtle Lake/Clayton in a doubleheader on Tuesday, May 6, taking the first game 8-0 and coming from behind in the last inning to win the second game 4-3. Their game with Grantsburg was a casualty due to the weather. On Saturday, May 10, they hosted a tournament and came up short in both games. They lost 7-11 to Prairie Farm and 7-10 to Spring Valley in the second game. On Thursday, May 15, they will travel to Unity to play the Eagles. On Monday, May 19, they will host Webster/Siren, and on Wednesday, May 20, they will host Grantsburg in a doubleheader.-

Heidi Steines, Emily Parish and Savannah Soltis are freshmen playing in a key game. Shell Lake went on to win 13-4 against Turtle Lake/Clayton on Tuesday, May 6.

Freshman Logan Zebro at the plate with a line drive to right field. Shell Lake took two wins over Turtle/Clayton, 8-0 and 4-3, on Tuesday, May 6. Kristen Kraetke pitched her 300th high school strikeout against Turtle Lake/Clayton on Tuesday, May 6. Catcher Hailey Flach presented her the game ball, which is fitting as she has caught for Kraetke since they were freshmen. No other Laker in softball or baseball has ever reached this milestone nor will they likely.

here is a parrot in Brazil that changes its color from green to red or even yellow when it is fed T certain fish. And there are some canaries whose yellow

feathers will cast off a red hue if they are fed cayenne pepper when they are molting. What is true in the natural realm is also true in the spiritual realm. We become what our minds feed upon. “The Lord’s promises are pure,” said David. “... therefore we know that you will protect the oppressed.” David knew that God’s promises were true and that he would honor his word. But what does that mean? That he will simply protect the oppressed and keep them that way? That certainly does not make any sense. Why would God only protect them? The word protect means to watch over. It carries with it the same significance as the promise to Jeremiah, “I am ready to perform my word.” Moreover, God preserves, or performs, his words “from this generation forever” - that is, from now until eternity. The word of our God stands forever. Because the word of God stands forever, we know that its contents are true and reliable; it is God-glorifying in its message, Christ-honoring in its contents and comes to life through the Holy Spirit’s power. If we nourish our souls on its promises and feed our minds on its message our lives will reflect the grace of God. The message of the Bible will keep us from sin or sin will hide the message of the Bible from us.

She was married to Bernard for 40 years until his sudden death in January 1998. Norma married Gary LaVeau on Oct. 22, 2001, and then moved to Goodlettsville, Tenn., in June 2002. Norma loved gardening, sewing, cooking, and crocheting baby afghans for her grandchildren. She also enjoyed camping and traveling later in her life.

Thank you to all the businesses and individuals who donated to our 15th-Annual Spring Fling event at the Lakeview Event Center in Siren on May 3. Everyone who came had a wonderful dinner catered by Adventures with entertainment by Bill Bittner’s Memorial Dixieland Band. This event wouldn’t be possible without the direction of Kathy Hansen and all the volunteers who provided a lot of time to shop and contact all the wonderful businesses who donated to Hospice Services to help make the event so successful. The money that we made from this event will stay in our community to help our neighbors, friends and family members live every day to the fullest. We do not take your support for granted and appreciate your help in making a difference.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

A big thank-you goes out to Peg Thompson and the Sunday school students for the beautiful begonias that were given to all the moms at Barronett Lutheran on Sunday morning. I’m not sure how Peg decided how many plants to give out, but the number was perfect. There was exactly one plant for each mother. Thanks, Peg and students. We certainly appreciated them. The annual spring salad luncheon, hosted by women of Barronett Lutheran, will be held Sunday, May 18, immediately after the worship service. Our worship service is normally at 9 a.m., but this Sunday it will be at 10 a.m., and the luncheon will start at about 11 a.m. We will be serving lots and lots of different kinds of salads, and, of course, lots and lots of different kinds of bars. If you’re free next Sunday, you should consider joining us just to find out if we really are the greatest cooks in this part of the state. Trust me on this; you certainly won’t go away hungry. Tonja Metnik called to let us know that the Cumberland ECU plant sale will run from May 19 to May 27 this year. There will be an abundance of perennials and vegetable plants. The plants are very healthy, and the prices are extremely reasonable. After that sale is over, there will be a one-day plant sale, hosted by the Friends of Wiesner Chapel on CTH V, from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on May 31. That day, in addition to plants, the Friends will be selling handcrafted items and baked goods. Mark your calendar for both sales. They are perfect for picking up the plants you need to fill in the empty spots in your flower beds or vegetable gardens. Bill and Debbie Carothers were the lucky shoppers who got the great deal on that pull-behind-a-boat inner tube at the Barronett community garage sale last week. I was hoping it would find a good home, and I bet their family will have hours of fun at the lake with it. The Barronett Dragons 4-H Club members presented “Dracula and the Sanatorium of the Undead” to a large crowd at the Barronett Community Center on April 29. Then, on Saturday, they went to Turtle Lake High School to compete at the arts festival. After doing such an outstanding job presenting the play in Barronett, their self-confidence was way up there, and, after the performance in Turtle Lake, they walked away with first place. The actors were Ally Zarr, Megan Muench, Otto Gus-

Heart Lake

Monday’s weather was warm and rainy, but gray. It didn’t cheer us up but the wildlife was happy. Grass is really coming nicely so it’s green and lush. Dandelions are really anxious to get out in the sunshine. We welcome new tenants, George and Elaine King, who moved in last week. Friday night, we had a big birthday bash here. It was Rosey’s 90th birthday and Tommy D. and Dr. Goellner helped keep the place happy all evening. Of course, we had cake and ice cream. See you next year, Rosey, same time and same place. Birthday blessings.

tafson, Caitlyn Yawn, Grace Gustafson, Cassandra Mehalek, Jenna Mehalek, Bailey DeMontigny, Zachary Thompson, Erika Yawn, Kyra Key, and, last, but definitely not least, Ethan Thompson. The kids, and their director, Peg Thompson, did an outstanding job and certainly deserved the first-place standing. Illa Theese invited me to the Ceska Opera House in Haugen on Friday evening for “Long Live the Squeezebox XXVI.” The music was fantastic! I don’t even know how to dance, but, after listening to that bouncy music, I certainly would like to learn. And the accordions and concertinas were amazing. There were more shiny things on the instruments than a person usually sees on the dresses at the country music awards. There were three funny skits that the musicians put on in between the music segments. It was a great evening out. Fred and Sally Baumberger were there and I had a chance to visit with them for a few minutes. Actually, Sally was one of the performers. If you know Sally, I don’t even have to tell you what a great, and funny, performer she is. And I visited with Roger and Gladys Roux for quite a while during the intermissions. Gladys was the treasurer for the Town of Lakeland before me, and she is always interested in how the town is being run. I told her to come and sit in on some of the meetings, and she said that she might do that. I also told them about the salad luncheon at Barronett Lutheran this Sunday, and, they said that they might be there. I hope so. I know everyone would be glad to see them again. Speaking of great music, Pat Olson went to an auction down by St. Croix Falls and found a 1947 Wurlitzer Rockola jukebox, in perfect working condition and including four boxes of old records, for her new ice-cream parlor in Shell Lake. The icecream parlor will be all done up to look as though a person stepped through a time warp and was back in the ‘50s. It’s coming along nicely, and should be opening soon - well, within a month anyway. She has a perfect location for it, right across the highway from the Shell Lake beach and campsite. If you go through Shell Lake, you’ll see the new signs on the building. There is no name, but the signs show a cup of coffee, an ice-cream cone and a hot dog. Curt and Mary Kay Hefty are back in

Alaska again. They left on May 8 and were home so that Mary Kay could be spoiled by Jody, Johnnie and the grandsons on Mother’s Day. Oh, that reminds me about something else I wanted to tell you. When Curt was here, he told us that Johnnie was talking to someone with a little less ambition one day, and he said, “You know, it’s hard to climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.” Something to think about, isn’t it? Sharai Hefty went down to the Twin Cities to watch the Kentucky Derby at Canterbury Downs with her son, Mike, and his girlfriend, Jess, a couple of weekends ago. She said that it was the first time she had been to Canterbury Downs, and it was all very exciting. All three of them picked the winning horse, but didn’t win because they all picked the wrong horse to come in second. Does that make any sense to you? I thought you just picked a horse to win, but I guess there’s a little more to it than that. She said it’s called an exacta. Sharai said that the only disappointing thing about the day was that there were no live races yet. They start in May. She’ll probably have to make another trip down then so she can watch the real races. Mae Broome celebrated her 82nd birthday with a party at the community room of the Lakewood Regency Apartments, hosted by her family. There were lots of family and friends present to wish her a happy birthday. There was free cake so, of course, the friendly neighborhood moocher was there - just kidding around here, folks. Terry would be one of the people to celebrate with Mae even if there was no food being served. Terry said that he doesn’t buy cards, but he made Mae one out of birch bark. Sounds like Mae had a wonderful day and enjoyed visiting with all her guests. While Terry was there, someone gave him a delicious apple pie made with Granny Smith apples. And, three more people asked for his meatless casserole recipe. I can vouch for that recipe. It gives you lots of ideas for fast meals with items that most people have in the pantry. Oh, Terry said that, after reading last week’s Barronett news, someone told him that he’s “not exactly civilized, but he is housebroken.” Well, I guess that’s something. Man, I’m so glad we put out our hummingbird and oriole feeders last week. We have seen so many of them around the

Wedding

Voight/Swanson Jennie Voight and Shane Swanson were united in marriage on April 12, 2014, at Semple Mansion in Minneapolis, Minn. Voight is the daughter of Walter Voight and Vicki and Mike Swan of Hayward. She is a 1995 graduate of Hayward High School and 2004 graduate from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. She is employed by Christopher & Banks as a senior internal auditor at their headquarters in Plymouth, Minn. Swanson is the son of Don and Debbie Swanson of Cushing. He is a 1997 graduate from Luck High School and 2002 graduate from Duluth Business University. He is employed by Buffalo Wild Wings as a senior HR technology analyst at their headquarters in Minneapolis, Minn. The couple spent their honeymoon in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. — Photo submitted feeders already. And, the rose-breasted grosbeaks are back. The robin is sitting on her nest by the garage. And, we can finally sit outside in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee without shivering. I love this time of year. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you can join us on Sunday for the spring salad luncheon. See you next time.

Donna Parker was treated to dinner Sunday night with her boys, Jeffrey, Mark, and Monty, and their wives at Bona Casa in Cumberland.

Jeff Pederson treated his mom, Helen, to dinner at Lakeview Bar and Grill. Sue and Larry Winner also came to eat with them. Jeff had spent the day spreading fertilizer before the rains came. The English professor was trying to impress his class with the importance of a large vocabulary, “I assure you,” he said, “if you repeat a word 10-12 times, it will be yours forever. “A girl in the back of the room took a deep breath, closed her eyes and whispered, “Robert, Robert, Robert ...” Have a good week.

Dewey Country

by Pauline Lawrence

It rained most of Thursday and I didn’t put my rain guage out until the afternoon and we had gotten an inch. It’s not good for farmers who want to get in the fields, but it’s certainly great for the ground. May 15, a very happy birthday to Rich Lawrence and also to Lenore Swan. Hope you have a wonderful day. Happy birthday to Dan Schaefer on May 16 when he enjoys that special day with lots more to come. May 17, a very happy birthday to Phil Scheu, Andrea Hartwig and to Jonathan Mortensen. All enjoy your day. A very happy birthday to Liam Charles Russell, son of Kerry and Charles Russell, who turns 4 on May 19. Also birthday wishes go out to Vonnie Mogensen and to Angie Stellrecht on their special day. Happy birthday to Jeremy Monson and to Stacey Leach on May 21. Have a wonderful day. A very happy anniversary to Chad and Colleen Jensen as they celebrate their day together on May 21. This makes 20 years for the Jensens. Talking with Sandy Atkinson, she says the kids were coming to enjoy Mother’s Day with her and Jim. Coming were Noel and Patty Beaufeaux and sons and girlfriends, Lisa Otto and Marjorie and Charles, Jim Atkinson and Scott and Kristen Carl and children Jannah and Brianne. Pattie asked Sandy what she wanted to eat and she told her pizza so Patty stopped at Papa John’s and they enjoyed pizza. What a nice treat, Sandy. Talking with my daughter, Penny Ladd, she tells me Rylee was taken to urgent care in Rice Lake. She apparently hurt her fingers on her right hand and they were all swollen and black and blue, making her cry all night. X-rays showed a fracture. Fortunately Rylee is left-handed. Hope your hand gets better soon Rylee.

left leg, which gives her problems. Janie Lauterbach took her to the clinic. Marie is milking again since Jim hurt his shoulder. She says she is careful how she steps in by the cows, but it seems to work for her. Jim goes this week to Chippewa Falls to the doctor to find out the next step. We’re thinking of you Jim. For Mother’s Day Janie and Rick Lauterbach and Noah, Ellianna and Grace had Warren and Marie Quam up for dinner along with Rick’s mom. You know for May the weather certainly isn’t warming up much is it? Usually May is so sunny and warm. I hope it doesn’t keep this up in June. Farmers are slowly getting into their fields, where they can, but the rain doesn’t help matters. Lundeens must have been hauling out Doug and Karen Vanderhoof’s pit. Trucks go by and they’re busy. Imagine Roger and Steve have to take the days they can to haul when it’s not raining. Bill Taubman was busy Sunday planting corn. Jim Toll says he was chisel plowing on Saturday and had a little spot in the field that was wet; otherwise it was ready to plant. Dave was up for the weekend at his Pa’s and took his fiancée, Tammy, out for Mother’s Day. On Monday, Diane Hulleman transplanted flowers and veggies at Terraceview. Thursday Ginny Schnell was at Diane’s and the two made a bed skirt and then they went to Nick’s for lunch. Friday the parish nurses met and enjoyed lunch together. Saturday found Nancy Murray and Colleen Jensen and Izzy and a friend of Izzy’s at Diane’s. They helped their mom with flower beds. Later Diane grilled ribeyes served with all the trimmings for the group before they left for home. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Spring! Such a beautiful time of the year. Tree buds are growing bigger and providing a pastel color across the woodland. Wildflowers have appeared on the forest floor, hepatica, bloodroot and violets, I see. Those April showers did bring the May flowers. Hummers, orioles, and rose-breasted grosbeaks arrived in time for Mother’s Day. There are wood ticks aplenty, too. So check yourself, your kids and pets, often. Those little things can cause lots of health problems. Turtles have been sitting on the logs in the pond and the frogs are doing their spring chorus. Garden centers are at their busiest. With all those plants to choose from, it’s hard to resist, but when you get them home they have to be planted and nurtured. Fields are getting drier so some things were getting done. Monday morning, I took a double take when looking at my new Mom’s Day rain gauge. We had gotten 1-1/2 inches of rain overnight. A slow, quiet rain, so don’t know when crops and gardens will get planted now as more showers are in the forecast. Robert and Wendy Elliott of Austin, Texas, stayed Mother’s Day weekend with his mother, Inez Elliott, at her Maplecroft Apartment home in Barron. Inez attended Mother’s Day church services at the Sarona Methodist Church with them and son Roger and Ellen Elliott of Birchwood, and Joyce and Bruce Ellingson of Minneapolis, and niece Lois Miller and her children, Morgan and Levi of Farmington, Minn. Following services, Roger and Ellen hosted a Mom’s Day dinner at their Red Cedar Lake home for the family. Inez says old Sarona friends are welcome to visit anytime. LeRoy Drake’s sister, Norma Roe LaVeau, passed away Sunday morning. The funeral will be at the Skinner Funeral Home in Shell Lake. A speedy get-well to Mavis Schlapper who had foot surgery last Tuesday. Her sister, Joyce Wade, Spooner, stayed with her a few days. Daughter Pam Cernocky visited her on Mother’s Day, as did Scott Mancl and friend. Mavis received a beautiful bouquet from son Dean and wife in Texas. Vicki Zarada, Henderson, Nev., arrived here on Sunday to visit her mom, Mary Krantz, and her siblings living here. Anton and Gloria Frey attended her Rice Lake Class of 1949’s breakfast at the Wagon Wheel in Brill on Monday morning. Only eight showed up. They visited nephew Bob Kruegar in the Spooner hospital one day. On Friday, Gloria and daughter Jan visited Grandma Dorothy Foltz at the convalescent center in Rice Lake and found her doing well. Bob Kruegar got out of the hospital and home on Friday and is feeling better. Keep on the mend now. Rock and Pat Semm’s daughter, Mary Doane, Rice Lake, took them to Elk Mound on Wednesday for Grandparents’ Day for Suzie’s boys at their school. That was really nice. Renee Zimmerman spent three days in Milwaukee at a conference that was work related. Marilyn went to son Brian and Jessica Zimmerman’s for her birthday on Wednesday. Marilyn’s co-worker from the hospital took her to eat in her honor on Thursday. Marilyn took in the donkey ball game at school with her niece, Nicole Stodola. Sunday Linda Stodola did a cookout for their mom, Germaine Paulson, for

Mom’s Day and celebrating Marilyn’s big 60th with family attending. Saturday night, cousins Ben and Brianne LaVeau and Michelle Magnes visited at Renee Zimmerman’s. Belated birthday wishes to June Westerlund on her 92nd birthday, Saturday, May 10. Ten couples got together with her on Sunday for a party and to celebrate Mother’s Day. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Amanda Gagner who exchanged their vows by the poolside at the White Tail Ridge Campground Saturday afternoon with the reception following at Backwoods Saloon. They had a beautiful day for it. Wishing them the best in their married life. There were 16 gals and 12 men for the once-a-month Madge-Sarona breakfast at the Roost on Tuesday. It’s really nice and is decorated so pretty. Gloria Frey, Elfreda West and I went together. Last Tuesday the Spooner Tuesday evening girls bowling enjoyed great food and a fun time at the year’s end banquet held at Pair O’ Lakes. Marion Reiter, Dorothy Esser and I rode together. Virginia Sandridge attended her Thursday afternoon women’s Rice Lake team that ended their season with a banquet at Quillen’s Big Bear Bar in Mikana. Congrats to Jeff and Tami Gagner who are recent new grands. Baby Gracelynn was born April 21 to daughter Ashley and husband Bill. Got to see her at the wedding, she’s a sweet little darling. Grandson Chase Hutton spent the weekend with Gramp Greg and Gram Sue Krantz. He and Gramma took in a Spiderman movie in Spooner on Friday night. Daughter Cindy Wilkans came up from Fox River Grove, Ill., Friday for Mom’s Day. Saturday forenoon, Sara Mathison and baby Grant came to see her. Mary Marschall came out.

Students who accepted the university’s invitation to join PTK include Chelsea Kilmer of Springbrook, Joseph Brown of Rice Lake, Jennifer Brye of Rice Lake, Stephanie Byrnes-Hampton of Cameron, Adam Drost of Rice Lake, Allysa Jeska of Amery, Robert Pittman of Cameron, Rosanna Rucinski of Rice Lake, Ethan Severson of Clayton, Steven Woods of Ladysmith and Katherine Zbleski of Comstock. Speakers at the induction ceremony were UW-Barron County professor of engineering Christa James-Byrnes, assistant professor of communication and theater arts Nichole Kathol, associate professor of political science Eric T. Kasper, and campus Dean/CEO Dean Yohnk. PTK President Jennifer Smith of Rice Lake conducted the induction ceremony. Each inductee was presented with a certificate and a white rose, symbolic of the intellectual friendship that is formed in Phi Theta Kappa. During the last year, Phi Theta Kappa

raised money to sponsor a child in Nepal. Students in the group also volunteered their time to help with the campus EATS fundraiser, and they organized an educational field trip to Minneapolis-St. Paul. In addition, PTK members plan, and help tutor at the student study day held at the end of each semester at UW-Barron County. Advisers to PTK include James-Byrnes, Kathol and Kasper. Kathol and Kasper recently completed their service as advisors, and newly inducted advisers include Dean Yohnk and assistant professor of English, Quentin Vieregge. In addition to Smith, other officers of the organization include Secretary Cory Hayden of Rice Lake and Drost, who serves as treasurer. All UW-Barron County students earning 12 credits and a minimum grade-point average of 3.25 are invited to join Phi Theta Kappa. The organization’s mission is twofold: to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students, and to provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming. - submitted
