NATIONWIDE - Oct. 2 to 8 is National Newspaper Week and this year’s theme is Newspapers are the number one source of local news. Of course, our readers already know that. The National Newspaper Association would like to remind everyone of a few factoids, such as: The Super Bowl attracts about 49 percent of U.S. households. During Super Bowl week, 70 percent of U.S. adults read a newspaper ... and in the last month, 82 percent of adults took some action as a result of newspaper advertising. Newspapers have changed a bit, also. See this week’s Behind the Office Door, on page 6. ••• NATIONWIDE — October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please wear purple ribbons to bring awareness to the blight of domestic violence on American society. Intimate-partner violence occurs nationwide in 1 in 4 relationships according to the National Coalition of Anti Violence Programs. Thirty-four percent of the victims were between the ages of 19 and 49. Intimate-partner violence is defined as emotional, verbal, physical or sexual violence that occurs between partners. The abusive behaviors can be by one or both partners in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, friends or cohabitation. IPV exists along a continuum from a single episode of violence to ongoing battering. IPV takes place regardless of sexual orientation, race, social status, economic status, age group or educational background. Intimate-partner violence is not based on gender. It is a choice to exert power and control over one’s partner. IPV does not necessarily leave a visible wound or bruise. If you know someone in this type of relationship or you would like more information please contact the Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter at 715-635-5245 or 800-924-0556. — from Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter ••• SPOONER — The third-annual Jack O’ Lantern Fest will take place in downtown Spooner on Saturday, Oct. 15.

A high school do-over
by Diane Dryden SPOONER - Saturday, Nov. 5, is your chance to relive an afternoon back in high school because everyone is cordially invited to attend a Groove-A-Thon in the commons between 1-4 p.m. When the organizers say everyone, it’s exactly what they mean. Even though it will be at the high school, dancers of all ages are welcome to strut their stuff to music from many eras with recording artist Joe Weiss as disc jockey. This event is being sponsored by the TimeOut Family Abuse Shelter, Inc. which is located in Spooner, to provide supportive services to meet the needs of domestic abuse victims, sexual assault victims and their children. They help enable and empower clients so they can make their own decisions and choices and to educate the community about domestic abuse and sexual violence. You might remember last fall when this same organization was responsible for the hilarious Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event that hosted 75 men in heels who actually did walk a mile to raise money. Three years before, Time-Out held popular bowling tournaments and this event is stacking up to be as much fun as the others. Because the idea is fundraising while having fun, people are encouraged to form teams. To attend the dance as a team, no matter how many members on the team, the team cost will be a flat $25. All the team members are encouraged to raise money for the cause too and everyone is encouraged to dress in cos-

Barron Electric celebrates 75th anniversary with a special guest
PAGE 2 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - OCTOBER 5, 2011
by Diane Dryden SPOONER - Gov. Scott Walker was the special guest invited to address the crowd as the pubic gathered for the traditional boxed lunch and dividend check dispersal Tuesday, Oct. 4, at the Barron Electric Cooperative’s facility in Spooner on Paulson Road. “Every year we’ve invited the sitting governor, dignitaries and legislators,” said board President Selmer Nelson, “and 25 years ago Dave Obey showed up in Spooner and Dave Gunderson attended the same Capital Credit Day in Barron, so we were hoping that this year, seeing it’s our 75th year in business, Gov. Walker would attend, and he did.” Walker’s visit was a surprise to the 750 Spooner co-op people who picked up checks totaling over $750,000 this year that was paid out between the two locations. Many were surprised when Walker came through the doors near the beginning of the event at 11 a.m. and after officially speaking a few words about how important it is to have an abundance of cost-effect supply of
electricity for Wisconsin’s growing economy, he presented a plaque to Dallas Sloan, Barron Electric’s general manager, proclaiming it Public Power Week. Walker did not rush off but after his short presentation but met with the crowds for almost an hour that asked questions of him and got answers. Walker was quoted as saying that 40,000 new jobs were created in the private sector during the first six months of this year and defended his Budget Repair Bill citing the losing battle neighboring states are having with their current budgets. “This bill creates stability for employees and it was the best alternative for Wisconsin.” He also said that he was also going to have a $10,000 cut in his own paycheck, so Wisconsin residents were not alone. He also said that “Being unemployed is worse than paying more and having a job.”

Trooper honored for courageous action and exceptional service
Trooper Patrick Kaetke of Shell Lake honored in Madison ceremony
MADISON — Thirteen members of the Wisconsin State Patrol received special awards for saving lives and other exemplary service at a ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the state Capitol in Madison. Trooper Patrick Kraetke, Shell Lake, for his dedication and outstanding work, received the Commendable Service Award based on the incident when he received information that a vehicle at a residence in Minnesota was being used to transport drugs on Jan. 7, 2008. Kraetke drove to an area close to the state border to detect the vehicle if it traveled into Wisconsin. After observing the vehicle in Wisconsin and based on information previously received, he initiated a traffic stop. He obtained information from the driver that resulted in a lengthy and extensive drug investigation. Kraetke took the initiative to locate the
vehicle and then assisted the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Division of

Criminal Investigation in a two-yearlong investigation. By digging deeper
into the investigation and working cooperatively with numerous law enforcement agencies, Kraetke set in motion the largest federal and state drug conspiracy case in the history of Burnett County. The investigation concluded with more than 40 individual arrests. Many of those convicted received lengthy sentences of more than 10 years in federal prison. Kraetke’s traffic stop and ensuing actions helped law enforcement agencies to remove gangs and drugs that had been destroying lives and communities for many years. State Patrol Superintendent Stephen Fitzgerald said, “All members of the state patrol make our highways and communities safer through their professional and tireless dedication to traffic and public safety. But the members of the state patrol who received special awards have demonstrated exceptional expertise and courage under extremely stressful conditions. Their achievements go well above and beyond their normal duties.” — from WSP

PAGE 4 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - OCTOBER 5, 2011
Political policies that require compromise can lead to destruction. How does one reach a compromise regarding the principles that form the foundation of a society? For example: Thou shalt not steal is the Judeo-Christian principle, which validates the Constitutional inalienable right of Americans to keep and protect their intellectual, creative and physical property. This principle can be applied equally to all citizens regardless of age, sex, race, religion or political affiliation. Would a reasonable compromise be:
Send letters to P.O. Box 455, Shell Lake, WI 54871 or e-mail wcregister@centurytel.net
Compromises applied equally
thou shalt not steal unless the majority authorizes the government to do so in the name of its citizens (or) thou shalt not steal unless a majority believes you do not deserve what you have? In 1776, private citizens purchased more than $27 million, $400 million in 2007 dollars, in government bonds to fund the revolution. Bonds, loan certificates and consumption taxes were tools used to fund specific governmental obligations. Government and wars were funded by imposing import and export taxes, “sin taxes” on liquor, tobacco,
playing cards and other nonessential items. Taxes imposed were repealed when the war was over or the debt was satisfied. In 1895, the Supreme Court ruled personal income taxes unconstitutional. This pay-as-you-go approach limited government’s opportunity to engage in wasteful spending and made every citizen a responsible contributor to the cost of government. Until 1913, previous generations did not pass federal debt to the next generation. Once personal income taxes were implemented through the
passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913, government debt soared and special projects promoted division between citizens who support a fiscally healthy country and those who depend on entitlement programs. A patriot would accept only those compromises that can be applied equally to every citizen while preserving the fiscal integrity of our country rather than political agendas.

Jauch makes statement on Senate Mining Committee
Northern lawmaker one of seven senators appointed to serve
MADISON — State Sen. Bob Jauch, DPoplar, has been appointed to serve as a member of the newly created Senate Mining Committee. The group will be charged with reviewing Wisconsin’s current mining laws, as well as making recommendations for possible reforms and improvements. The committee will consist of four Republican and three Democratic members. It will be chaired by Sen. Neil Kedzie, R-Elkhorn. “I have been calling for the creation of this committee since last May following the effort to rush a controversial bill draft written by and for the mining company
through the legislative process. Mining is a complicated and controversial topic that deserves full public participation in a thoughtful dialogue on potential changes to the mining permitting process. Our current mining laws were the result of extensive public discussion that led to consensus on policies that resulted in the permitting of the Ladysmith mine. “The public has a right to be frustrated when special interests attempted to ram a bill that weakens our environment through the Legislature without adequate public input. Another group of citizens are legitimately concerned that a dysfunctional Legislature might deny the chance for changes to current law to be considered at all. An issue of this importance must be deliberated away from closed doors, and the establishment of a
Welcome representative receives award
WASHBURN COUNTY — Washburn County welcome representative Mary McGraw received awards at the Nicolet Welcome Service’s 31st-annual conference in Rhinelander, on Friday, Sept. 30.

If you are a business or school, church or public service with new employees or members, welcome your new employee or member with a free welcome packet with a value of over $1,000 by calling McGraw at 715-296-2888 or 800-4347829. — submitted
Barron Electric donates to Barron County 4-H program
Barron Electric Cooperative recently donated $450 to the Barron County 4-H program for their achievement program. Sally Romanowski (L), member services secretary, presented a check to Mary Pardee, 4-H youth development educator. General Manager Dallas Sloan said, “Barron Electric has long supported the 4-H program and recognizes the significance this program plays in our communities.” Pardee commented, “We greatly appreciate Barron Electric’s support; we recognize many youth at our annual awards program and throughout the year.” — Photo submitted
committee should assure full transparency and public involvement. “This committee will not decide the fate of any specific mining proposal. Mining is an allowable economic activity and the ultimate decision on a mine rests with state, federal and tribal authorities who will review permits based on existing water and air quality standards. “However, the committee can begin a thoughtful public discussion about whether or not our state’s current mining permitting process is fair and thorough. I remain convinced that the review will dispel some of the myths about the Wisconsin mining laws and demonstrate that the time taken to permit a mine is not dramatically different from the time line in a state like Minnesota. “Recent statements by Assembly Republican lawmakers have suggested that they have the votes to pass a mining permitting bill. Perhaps the Assembly lawmakers should reveal this plan to the
public, so that the public can learn what policies the politicians have in their back pocket regarding this important issue. Revealing their bill would also enable an opportunity for comparison between the Senate and Assembly proposals. “Participating in a committee does not constitute a commitment to a particular time table or outcome. I will work with committee members in a serious attempt to conduct a comprehensive review of the permitting process that will include public hearings outside of Madison. I remain open to constructive suggestions; however, these must not diminish our environmental standards, erode local control or weaken public input. Above all, the recommendations should assure that the mining permitting process ultimately serves the public interest. “I have spoken with Senator Kedzie and am confident that he will approach this issue in a thoughtful and deliberative way.” — from the office of Sen. Jauch
LEWIS — With the flick of a switch, a rural Lewis house exploded, coming down on Robert Wolfgram, and he survived. Wolfgram spent his 72nd birthday in Regions Hospital in St. Paul recovering from injuries he sustained following an explosion that leveled his family’s two-story farmhouse on Friday, Sept. 23, killing his dog. Wolfgram suffered a fractured hip and second-degree burns to his hands, face, neck and back in the explosion that apparently resulted from a spark from an electric breaker switch to the home’s furnace, which ignited propane gas. — from the InterCounty Leader ••• TOWN OF CEDAR — Paul R. Hansen, 49, Sunfish Lake, Minn., ran into a string of bad luck when a DNR warden visited his pier on Red Cedar Lake in the Town of Cedar on Aug. 20. According to the violation notices, DNR Warden Russ Fell of Rice Lake found and checked two rods off the end of Hansen’s pier to see if they were being fished. They were. He found one rod had hooked a bullhead, and Fell released it. Fell waited approximately 30 minutes with no response from Hansen to the submerged bobber with the bullhead on it. Hansen was cited for fishing with unattended lines. He was also found to have filleted approximately 10 panfish and three game fish, placing their carcasses into the water of Red Cedar Lake near his pier. He was cited for depositing or discharging solid waste on public or private property. The carcasses in the water revealed that Hansen possessed, cleaned and discarded two walleyes under the 18-inch-size limit and one smallmouth bass under the 14-inch-size limit and was fined for these violations of possession of an illegal-size fish. — from Barron News-Shield ••• CUMBERLAND — Honorary captains for the 2011 homecoming game for Cumberland were

The amount is down $1.2 million from last year. Business manager Pat Blackaller said, “The tax levy is down because the state imposed modification of the revenue limit. The state government cut the district total allowable per pupil revenue for our district by $559. This required the district to cut spending significantly.” – from the Chronotype ••• BARRON — Barron County’s executive committee carefully considered the effects of the county’s proposed 2012 property tax levy at its regular session. At this point, the proposed budget calls for a 3.5-percent increase in property taxes or a $17,832,509 total levy. That means the proposed mill rate would be $4.98 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation, or $498 for the owner of a house valued at $100,000. The proposed budget does not include any of the cuts suggested by several work groups that were formed this year. – from the Chronotype

Interested in becoming a Wisconsin Wilderness host family?
SPOONER — Billeting is a hockey tradition and is especially important at the junior level of hockey, with the players being 16 to 20 years old. This concept involves local host families providing a home to out-of-state or out-of-country players for the hockey season. The Wilderness Program feels that one of the components of success is to provide a comfortable living environment for each of their billet players. One of the most difficult things for this level hockey player is moving away from home. Much is expected of these players both on and off the ice and the added demands of a foreign situation often create added stress for them. Because of this, the organization strives to find homes that provide a positive family environment. To help alleviate such inherent anxieties, the players, in turn, are strongly encouraged to embrace the challenges of moving into a new

Local pilots help young people discover flight through EAA Young Eagles program
OSHKOSH — Area pilots have reached a milestone as part of their volunteer efforts through the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles program, which is introducing a new generation to the world of flight by offering young people a free demonstration airplane ride. Among the more than 45,000 pilots around the world who have donated their time and aircraft to the effort are Jack Langland, Sarona, with more than 1,200 given; David Ludvigson, Rice Lake, more than 800 given; Charles Aldrian, Birchwood, more than 400 given; and Charles Harrison, Chetek, more than 100 given. All pilots in the Young Eagles program explain the safe operation of airplanes and principles of flight before the short trips. Young Eagles flights are provided by volunteer EAA-member pilots in aircraft ranging from the newest airplanes to vintage biplanes. Such interesting aircraft as gliders, helicopters, and even hot air balloons and blimps have also been used for Young Eagles flights. Since 1992, the EAA Young Eagles program has flown more than 1.6 million young people free of charge. Recent research shows that these young people are five times more likely to become pilots than non-Young Eagles. They also already comprise more than 7 percent
of the nation’s pilot population under age 35, as nearly 20,000 pilots are former Young Eagles participants. Participating young people become official Young Eagles with the flight, with the names of the pilots, and the participants are also included in the World’s Largest Logbook that is on permanent display in the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh and online through the Young Eagles Web site. A Young Eagles flight is the first step in EAA’s Flight Plan, which helps young people move from an initial flight toward the full potential of aviation. Among the menu of Flight Plan activities available are a free EAA student membership, free access to Sporty’s Online Pilot Training Course, a free flight lesson, and reimbursement for the costs of a successful FAA written test in addition to more than $300,000 in scholarships and awards available to young people each year. Visit www.youngeagles.org for more information. EAA embodies the spirit of aviation through the world’s most engaged community of aviation enthusiasts. EAA’s 170,000 members and 1,000 local chapters enjoy the fun and camaraderie of sharing their passion for flying, building and restoring recreational aircraft. For more information on EAA and its programs, call 800-JOIN-EAA (800-564-6322) or go to www.eaa.org.

Public comments sought for Minong safe drinking water loan program
MADISON — The village of Minong is a loan applicant for funding through the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program to address deficiencies in their public drinking water system. The project is for construction of main replacements and looping mains. These types of actions normally do not involve significant adverse environmental effects, and the Department of Natural Resources has made a preliminary determination that no further environmental analysis is needed before proceeding with funding the projects. The department is soliciting public comments regard-
N
ing this decision and potential impacts of these projects. Written or verbal comments are encouraged. Provide comments to Jim Witthuhn, Bureau of Drinking Water and Groundwater, Department of Natural Resources, Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707, 608-267-9659 by Monday, Oct. 10. Based on the comments received, the department may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the funding process. The analysis would summarize the department’s consideration of the impacts of the project and reasonable alternatives. — from DNR
Newsprint and photos
ational Newspaper Week is being observed this week, Oct. 2-8. Technology certainly has changed the look of newspapers today as compared to years ago. Today we are able to print higher-quality photos in either black and white or color. The process has changed dramatically in the taking of photos. No longer is it necessary to make a reprint from a negative since the invention of the digital camera. I have often wondered when looking at old issues of newspapers as to why most people when recognized for accomplishments had professional photos in the newspaper. The answer to my question was revealed in the Feb. 15, 1951, edition of the Washburn County Register. The headline read, To Take Photos Of Community Leaders Here Monday, Feb. 19. The article went on to explain that an opportunity to watch the birdie and smile was offered to Shell Lake business and professional leaders when a professional photography studio set up shop in the council room at the Auditorium. The purpose of the project was to provide an up-to-date file of photos for the Register. No mass photography project of this type had been undertaken locally for a number of years and the paper’s present file was somewhat out of date. Although there was no charge for the sittings and no obligations, there was an opportunity to purchase additional prints from the St. Paul studio. But it was firmly understood that this was a mere invitation with no strings attached.
I’m sure it was easier to rely on file photos to accompany a story in the past. I think today most readers appreciate a current, more casual photo. Today, a higher quality of newsprint is used on the front, center, and back pages of the Register to allow for better reproduction of color photos. On June 29, Dick Ugland informed readers that our sister paper, the Inter-County Leader, was by far the best newspaper to fillet your fish on, challenged only by the Advertiser. I’m guessing that Mr. Ugland hasn’t seen a copy of the Register. Ugland prefers using our publications for cleaning fish because, “they clearly have stayed firm in their commitment to thick, tough newspaper-paper. Meanwhile, bigcity papers have moved rapidly toward the thinness of paper like that normally used for personal care. These newspapers now turn to mush after filleting just a few fish.” He noted that the metropolitan newspaper could be used to wrap the fish remains in before digging them beneath your roses or zucchinis. Ugland went on to explain that it wasn’t even necessary to turn the page while filleting five fish. He commented that you could scan the paper if you chose but to idle the fillet knife when you did. Each week, the Washburn County Register tries to bring you, the reader, a variety of information and photos. If you are impressed with our paper because of how it aids you in filleting fish, I still say thank you for your interest in our product.

Ally training conference to be held in Rice Lake
Motorists will need to share the road with farm equipment and other slow-moving vehicles during harvest season
STATEWIDE — During the fall harvest season, more farm equipment will be on rural Wisconsin roads and highways, so motorists will need to be especially alert, focused and patient. To share the road safely, drivers should slow down immediately whenever they see a fluorescent orange slow-moving vehicle emblem on the rear of a tractor or other piece of agricultural equipment. They also must be extremely cautious while trying to pass slow-moving vehicles. “You should not pass a slow-moving vehicle if you cannot see clearly in front of the vehicle you intend to pass or you are in a designated no-passing zone,” says Captain Jeff Frenette of the Wisconsin State Patrol Northwest Region. “Farmers and others using animaldrawn vehicles on a roadway have the same rights and duties as operators of motor vehicles. You should be careful not to frighten the animals. Do not sound your horn or flash your lights near them and give the animals plenty of room when passing.” For their part, farmers and other operators of slowmoving vehicles must follow safety regulations. According to state law, farm tractors, agricultural implements, animal-drawn vehicles or other vehicles that are normally operated at speeds below 25 miles per hour must display a slow-moving vehicle sign on the left rear of the vehicle. In all cases, even when the vehicle is not a SMV, if it is operated during hours of darkness, the front and rear of the vehicle must have lights — white to the front, red to the rear, and the lights must be illuminated. A citation for failure to display a SMV sign or a violation of the lighting requirement each cost $162.70. Vehicles traveling slower than normal traffic must stay as far to the right side of the roadway as practical. This does not mean slow vehicles must drive on the shoulder of the road although this is allowed if there is room to do so safely. Frenette says, “Common sense and courtesy will go a long way to keeping our rural roadways safe during the harvest season.” More information about requirements for farm equipment on roadways is available on the following Web site: www.dot.wisconsin.gov/statepatrol/docs/ farm-req.pdf. — from WSP

Ruby’s Pantry to distribute food
SPOONER — About a year and a half ago, a bunch of like-minded individuals got together to figure out how reinstate some form of food distribution. For years, both Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake and United Methodist in Spooner ran monthly distributions, but both had disbanded as a result of cost, quality and ultimately low participation. Last year, a new form of distribution was beginning to move east out of Minnesota: Ruby’s Pantry, brought forward by a ministry whose origins were out of Siren. In the summer of 2010, this ad hoc group met with Lynn Sahr, who founded Ruby’s, and the match was made: he wanted presence to the east and north and there was a need for food to be distributed. The organization was named Washburn County Food Distribution, because the foundings were more than just one church or town or faith and the organization wanted to be all inclusive in the participation and needs of the community of Washburn County. Ruby’s distributions are different from those experienced previously, in that for each share donation of $15, the hosting organization retains $3 for use in supporting community projects. Effectively the only costs incurred in putting on these events were for the equipment needed to get started. The Spooner School Board stepped up and offered the use of the tech ed building to stage the monthly distributions and various businesses provided support in meeting the equipment needs. This organization is made up of a dozen individuals that oversee and manage the ordering, financials and conduct the distributions. They are dependent on signing up at least 50 volunteers to staff each event and encourage church groups, fraternal organizations and businesses to step up and participate in these staffings. The premise is simple, for a donation of $15, you are guaranteed to receive somewhere between $75 and $100 of quality meats, produce, dairy, dry goods and occasionally notions. You take all or some of what is offered and volunteers even load it in your car. You meet a lot of great folks and the atmosphere is light and fun. The most misunderstood principle of the events is that these distributions are just for some particular group. Everyone has a budget for food, some more than others, but nonetheless a budget. If you can enhance that budget by saving cash out of pocket, isn’t that as good or better than clipping coupons? Not only that, but the more shares the organization gets donations for, the more money they retain for use in the community and the more they can help the less fortunate amongst us. Everyone is welcome. Relative to the funds that the organization retains, they don’t intend to reinvent the wheel and do things that others already do. Existing groups within the county already know what needs to be done and how to do it best. Ruby’s Pantry sees it as their role to help fund what they already do well. They seek to have projects within Washburn County that need funding to be identified and brought forward to them. They can help with funding. Food distributions are held on the second Saturday of each month, with registration beginning at 8 am. Ruby’s Pantry is located at the tech ed building, across the street from the middle school, on Elm Street, in Spooner. If you or your group would like to volunteer to help staff an event, or if you have financial needs to support your current mission or project, please contact either Chuck Adams at 715-635-9309 or Bill Holden at 715468-4017. — from Ruby’s Pantry

Electric cooperative officials meet with legislators at Capitol Hill
BARRON — Wisconsin Electric Cooperative officials, including Barron Electric’s General Manager Dallas Sloan, recently met with several members of Congress to discuss key energy and cooperative issues. Sloan commented, “While our cooperative embraces efforts to provide a cleaner environment, we are concerned about the trend of dramatically increased regulation with little advanced notice by EPA and believe it is important to ensure that the rules proposed and enacted are reasonable measures that make sense for our members.” HR 2401 requires analyses of the cumulative and incremental impacts of certain rules and actions of the Environmental Protection Agency and would specifically delay the implementation of two major rules until the impact analysis is complete. The bill passed on Sept. 23 with a vote of 249-169. Sloan remarked, “Several of the legislators we met with voted in Barron Electric’s General Manager Dallas Sloan (right) meets favor of HR 2401, including U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy; we believe our lobbying with Rep. Sean Duffy to discuss key issues facing electric cooperatives. — Photo submitted efforts have made an impact.” The EPA is currently in the process tion in 2007.

SHS drama department announces 2011-12 productions
SPOONER — The drama department at Spooner High School is pleased to announce its production plans for the 2011-12 school year. On Oct. 27 - 30, the graduating class of 2012 will present “The Teahouse of the August Moon” by John Patrick as its senior class play, and on the last two weekends of March 2012, the SHS band, choir and drama departments will present Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “State Fair.” “The Teahouse of the August Moon” was adapted from the Vern Sneider novel of the same name and was eventually made into a hit movie starring Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford and Eddie Albert. The stage play was a huge Broadway hit, running for 128 weeks and winning many awards, including the New York Drama Critics Award, The Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in the 1954 season. Set in the small Okinawan village of Tobiki during the American Occupation following World War II, Teahouse is a classic and hilarious tale of East meets West. Sent to bring democracy to the villagers, Marine Captain Fisby, accompanied by his shrewd interpreter Sakini, finds the task more daunting than either he or the American government’s Plan B could have envi-
sioned. “’Teahouse’ is a very challenging show for us,” said the play’s director, Bob Thornley. “We hope the audience can forgive us if our Japanese isn’t perfect and our actors don’t look entirely Asian. If they can, I think “The Teahouse of the August Moon” will be a real crowd pleaser,” said Thornley. “State Fair” is Rodgers and Hammerstein’s only musical that was a movie before it was a stage play. Different from the film, the expanded 1996 stage version is set at the 1946 Iowa State Fair and features musical numbers from the famous writing team’s repertoire, including “It Might as Well Be Spring,” “Our State Fair,” “That’s For Me,” “Isn’t Kinda Fun?,” “When I Go Out Walking With My Baby,” It’s a Grand Night for Singing” and “The Man I Used To Be.” “There are many different musical styles represented at various points in the play, and that makes the show very challenging but also very appealing to the audience. It’s just a really fun show!” said Thornley. Planning for the production has already begun in earnest, and the students involved are eager to get started. — from Spooner High School Drama Department
OCTOBER 5, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 11
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - Glen Nordin has joined the official recycler brigade. Well, actually he’s just continuing, seeing he’s recycled stone for years. He’s one of the group whose recycling efforts range from installing wind, solar or geothermal into their lives, all the way to people who retool their vehicles to burn fryer grease or use engine oil to heat their buildings. These are also the folks who have made quilts from scraps since the pioneer days and saved their fat for making soap. There’s just something special about these people. They used to say, “Waste not, want not,” but now it’s “Reduce, reuse, recycle.” Nordin was born into farm life in rural Shell Lake along with three sisters. Dad specialized in pigs, Mom spent her energy on raising chickens for their eggs and meat and they all took care of the cows. It was an industrious farm, producing grade A milk, and soon the Nordins were thinking of building a new barn. “I got to help dig, haul and place the stone for the building’s bottom half, and I realized that not only did I enjoy the work, I was good at it,” said Nordin. “We also installed the first barn cleaner in the county; it was some barn.” When Nordin married, he and Avis also lived on the farm, but in the milk house. Soon he was working on building their house located on the opposite side of the driveway from the original homestead. The house was completely made out of stone from their own land. They lived in the house for six years before moving to town, but the house and barn are still standing on the property approximately five miles west of Shell Lake on CTH B. Once in town, his occupation changed from farmer to builder. He started working for Bill Perkins and Gilbert Durand. He learned construction from the ground up, so to speak, and got good enough to go out on his own. During his active years, he built many houses in and around Shell Lake. Soon he was doing stonework, putting in fireplaces, and each time he built a new house for the family there was always some of the house that was stone. This building contractor also created beautiful pieces of furniture and cabinets while enjoying the north woods to the fullest, hunting and fishing. His son, Lynn, remembers that Dad usually got his buck every year and always within the first or second day. He was involved with the Boy Scouts and was a Mason and now at the age of 91-1/2, he’s still active and still recycling. Now at Terraceview Living Center, where he and his wife both live, he’s
Regional Hospice Services Inc., Spooner/Grantsburg assisted Catch a Dream program
SHELL LAKE – John and Jessica Defilippo came from Gurnee, Ill., which at one time was a small town north of Chicago. After Six Flags Great America settled there, the town changed and no longer felt safe and friendly. They moved to northwestern Wisconsin and began building their dream home that reflects their Italian ancestry. They have put a lot of time and hard work in this home, which they love, and there are still some things to be finished. The latest is a solar system to provide electricity. After moving to Wisconsin, the 2001 tornado came through. John was very generous with his time to the community. He donated his time to make memorial plaques for the towns Dewey and LaFollette. He also put in brick pathways for both sites and constructed a bell tower for the Dewey Town Hall.
Recycling stones
These beautiful wood ducks, which Glen Nordin carved and local artist Elaine DeAnn Brown meticulously painted, now sit in the TLC dining room. been filching rocks out of the garden and with additional supplies brought in by his son Lynn, he’s creating a miniature stone house that he’s either going to sink in the lake for a fish house, or perhaps place in the flower garden in the back of TLC for a squirrel family to call home. He misses his tools, the ones he used to build two wooden, 16-foot canoes, but even with a simple handsaw he’s created his little house out of a salvaged box which he’s covered with purloined garden rocks. The doors have hinges made out of cardboard and paint stir sticks and these same sticks outline the windows which he is thinking of glazing with acrylic. He’s even shingled the roof with pieces of denim donated by TLC from old jeans. “I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands, especially with wood and we used to say our three boys were raised on sawdust.” As much as the boys were around their builder father, none of them went into the business. Lynn, the oldest worked for the Telephone Data System, as a telephone engineer. Middle son, Darwin, works in Seattle, Wash., as an art teacher and Devin, the third son, lives in Florida and works as a plumber. Another thing that intrigued Nordin through the years was wood carving. He’s carved wall hangings and birds of all sorts. Twenty-one of them are on display at the dentist Dr. Dunbar’s office in Shell Lake. There are eight others in storage, according to Lynn, and they’re all for sale. “Good craftsmanship doesn’t come cheap, so the art is pricy, but beautiful.” He’d still like to make a dozen or so bluebird houses and mount them along the back fence at TLC, creating a regular colony of feathered friends which means he’s not finished yet because he’s got one squirrel house almost done and a dozen birdhouses to go.

Catch a dream
Ten years later, John Defilippo is a patient of Regional Hospice Services, Inc. John and his wife, Jessica, live in the Italian villa they have built themselves, all but the well and septic. With winter approaching and a semitrailer load of logs in the yard, John knew that his wife, Jessica, was very worried about how they could get the wood cut and processed for the coming heating season. His nurse, Anita, presented this problem at a Hospice meeting and suggested Catch a Dream, a program funded entirely by donations. When John told Anita they were planning a wood-cutting party, she suggested that Regional Hospice would provide food and beverages for the event. Anita, being very good at what she does, was able to get Papa Murphy’s to donate three pizzas, and Catch a Dream money provided funds for the rest of the pizzas and the beverages needed. Family and friends alike, a total of 20 people, came to cut and process 18 full cords of wood. “The Regional Hospice Catch a Dream program sets aside money which has been donated to fulfill patients and family members one last dream. It is our hope that this will leave the family with comforting, lasting memories that aren’t medical in nature. It is wonderful to be able to

by Larry Samson CAMERON — The Shell Lake girls three-game volleyball streak came to an early end Tuesday, Sept. 27, when they came up against the undefeated Cameron Comets in their second matchup. While the girls did not win, they made a better showing than their first matchup where they could not block or return the Cameron relentless attack. Cameron has the team to make a run at state. “I was happy with the girls playing, we weren’t intimidated by them this time around,” coach Anne Cassel said, referring to the fact that Shell Lake handled the aggressive Cameron offense, blocking at the net and returning the serves. The team traveled to Turtle Lake losing 25-21, 25-14 and 25-20. Serving was 80 percent, that loss set them

SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake junior varsity volleyball team was on a winning streak during homecoming week. The team won their game at Northwood 25-9, 25-7 and 25-18 on Tuesday, Sept. 20. They won again on Thursday, Sept. 22, on their home court taking on Prairie Farm. The scores were 25-12, 19-25 and 15-14. The game against Northwood was a game of great setup for spiking the ball.

It’s Fire Prevention Week - protect your family from fire
Shell Lake Fire Department provides safety tips for Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 9-15
SHELL LAKE — What’s the best way to protect your family from fire? Be ahead of the game, of course. With more than 360,000 home fires reported in the United States in 2009, according to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association, your best defense is a good offense. That’s why the Shell Lake Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA during the Oct. 9-15 to let the community know it’s Fire Prevention Week. Protect your family from fire! This year’s campaign focuses on preventing the leading causes of home fires — cooking, heating and electrical equipment – as well as candles and smoking materials. Additionally, it urges people to protect their homes and families with life-saving technology and planning. “In 2009, 2,565 people died in home fires. Nearly all of these deaths could have been prevented by taking a few simple precautions like having working smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan, keeping things that can burn away from the stove and always turning off space heaters before going to bed,” says fire Chief Keith Dahlstrom of

the Shell Lake Fire Department. “Fire is a dangerous opponent, but by anticipating the hazards, you are much less likely to be one of the nearly 13,000 people injured in home fires each year.” The Shell Lake Fire Department offers the following tips for protecting your home and family from fire: • Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. • Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, woodstove or portable space heater. • Have a 3-foot kid-free zone around open fires and space heaters. • Replace or repair damaged or loose electrical cords. • Use deep, wide ashtrays on a sturdy table. • Blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep. “While preventing home fires in Shell Lake is always our No. 1 priority, it is not always possible,” Dahlstrom continued. “Shell Lake’s residents need to provide the best protection to keep their homes and families safe in the event of a fire. This can be achieved by developing an escape plan which you practice regularly and equipping
homes with life-saving technologies like smoke alarms and home fire sprinklers.” The following tips will help keep your family safe if there is a fire in your home: • Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. • Interconnect all smoke alarms in the home so when one sounds, they all sound. • Test smoke alarms at least monthly and replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they do not respond when tested. • Make sure everyone in your home knows how to respond if the smoke alarm sounds. • Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible ways out. Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors. • If you are building or remodeling your home, consider installing home fire sprinklers. Protect your family from fire. Visit NFPA’s Web site at www. firepreventionweek.org. — from the Shell Lake Fire Department

Barronett by Judy Pieper
Barronett Lutheran has had another facelift. The arborvitae trees that were on either side of the front entrance have been removed. I’m sure the perennials that will replace them will be just lovely, but at the moment the front of the church looks a little bare. We’ll get used to it. The women of Barronett Lutheran will hold their regular monthly meeting Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. Cumberland ECU will be hosting their annual fall festival on Friday, Oct. 7, from noon-3 p.m. Almost everything you could possibly want or need will be on sale there — crafts, baked goods, bars and coffee. There are even a few new vendors this year. And, of course, there will be a raffle. Raffle tickets are available at Cumberland ECU as we speak. Think about it, Christmas is coming up fast, so think about that special someone who would love a handcrafted gift. Remember, this Friday, noon-3 p.m. Happy anniversary wishes go out to Nancy and John Forrestal, who celebrated one year of marital bliss on Oct. 3. That’s also John’s birthday, so he’s doubly blessed. Nancy and John treated Duane and me to supper at the Prime in Trego on Sunday evening to celebrate their anniversary one day early. We had a wonderful time — the food was terrific and it was very nice to sit and visit with Nancy and John. It seems that we just don’t get a chance to relax and enjoy their company often enough. We wish them many years of continued happiness. And, happy birthday wishes go out to Becka Cusick, who will be celebrating her special day on Friday.
Randy Lehmann and John Libra were able to come home to visit for just a few days last week. On Saturday they were in Duluth, Minn., at the Crossing Borders Art Show. They spent Sunday in Grand Marais with Randy’s aunt, Mary Jane, and Harry. And, they spent Monday visiting with Don and Anitia Lehmann before flying back home to Oregon. Kind of a whirlwind tour, but it sounds like they had a fantastic time while they were here. My only problem with their visit is that I didn’t get a chance to see them. Randy, John, if you guys are reading this, call next time so I can make a chocolate cake ready for you. Three of Anitia’s adorable grandchildren, Loren, Emma and DaShaun, visited the Pumpkin Patch with her on Saturday. The kids had a wonderful time running from one activity to the next. There was just one slight hitch in their afternoon. The kids, ages 11, 8 and 8, decided they were big enough to get through the corn maze all by themselves. Anitia agreed, and she sat and relaxed while she waited for them to find their way out. Well, she relaxed for the first 45 or 50 minutes anyway, after that she started getting nervous. Finally, after they were gone for about an hour, one of the parents went in to rescue them. Anitia said that the kids were starting to get a little scared by the time they finally wandered out of the maze, but they thought it was fun anyway. After their big adventure at the Pumpkin Patch they stopped by Penny and Jerry Sundvall’s farm where they were told that they could pick out their own pumpkins and gourds. Penny had also made a chocolate cake, and she gave each of them a

Guests at supper were Patricia, Allysha and Richy, Gene and Debbie Quam and Buddy, Mike Quam, Janie and Rick Lauterbach and Noah and Ellianna, Jim Quam and Marie and Warren Quam who had the party at their house. Sept. 16, Richy and friend Casey took off for Canada with their friend Larry Hansen with bow in hand to get that big moose. They saw a lot of moose but the moose stayed in the brush. Richy says the moose hide in the brush, which is very thick and they don’t come out. So the guys got zero. They came back last Tuesday. Poquette Lake Apple Orchard is now open and looking for people to come and buy their apples and all Lynn’s bakery things she makes from scratch. So take a short drive over and enjoy. Sunday found Noel, Pattie and Mitch Beaufeaux at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s where they had dinner and then the three of them,

pretty substantial piece of cake. The kids love going to the Sundvall farm, they always get just a little bit spoiled there. I wonder, though, if Penny even remembers that the kids visited this week. According to a usually — well, sometimes once in a while — reliable source, her memory isn’t what it used to be. Seems that Penny and my source decided to go to the movie in Cumberland this past week. They got there a little early and were sitting, chatting, waiting for the show to start. Penny mentioned a woman named Nancy, and the source asked her if she was talking about her sister-in-law. At the word sister-in-law, Penny stood up and said something like, “Oh no!! We forgot to pick up Marge!” Yikes! They rushed out of the theater, drove to Marge’s house, picked her up and got back just before the movie started. They were going to pretend that they were just a little later than usual in picking her up, but Penny couldn’t stand it. She confessed — and all through the evening Marge said things like, “I can’t believe you forgot about me.” Ah well, all’s well that ends well. I got a newsletter from Our Savior’s
Lutheran in Campia, and their Ole and Lena lutefisk dinner will be on Nov. 5 this year. Even if you don’t like lutefisk, there will be plenty of other things to eat. Believe me, those women at Our Savior’s could give the Barronett Lutheran women a run for their money in the baking department. Of course I’m sure the Barronett women would win in the long run — maybe. Lynn Thon was visiting our place on Saturday, and she and I made apple butter. Duane had a bumper crop of apples this year, and we used one 5-gallon bucket and made 13 pints of the stuff. Suzy Lehmann always likes to make apple butter too, so this year I guess we’ll have to have a contest to see whose is better. I bet I could get the friendly neighborhood moocher to be one of the judges. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Remember, this Friday is the fall festival at Cumberland ECU. Oh, and mark your calendar now for the lutefisk feed on Nov. 5 at Our Savior’s in Campia. Hope to see you there.

The phrase reminds me of the freedom of movement we have in this country and in Wisconsin. Though not the same kind of tower, I’ve had the liberty to visit a number of these viewing high spots on or near the Ice Age Trail. Recently, I hiked the northern kettle moraine and climbed the Parnell Tower near Plymouth. These towers near and on the Ice Age Trail are fun places to look over the countryside, especially now when the fall color bursts upon us. Every time I climb a tower I say, “This is the best one yet!” The Parnell Tower is built of wood and rises above a four-mile long esker, a rocky deposit formed by water running under a glacier. You ascend the tower by taking 300 steps up. Once you reach the top, you’ll look out over beautiful Sheboygan County. Looking to go west, one can see the large windmills near Fond du Lac. I had counted over 40 of these large windmills on the ride over to the trail. It pleased and surprised me that we are using that much wind power here in Wisconsin. Turn to the east and you’ll see Sheboygan in the distance. Looking south you see farms with their red barns. It’s as if you are looking down from a low-flying airplane. Look northeast and you will see five kames all at the same time. These are cone-shaped hills formed from material deposited by the melting glacier. It’s neat to be above the kames because you can only see them separately from the trail below. Other towers I’ve climbed on my Ice Age Trail quest — 1,069 mi. so far: Parish Hills, Timms Hill, Potawatomi State Park Door County, Granite Peak Wausau, and Lapham Peak, near Delafield. These are all great places to view fall color. And don’t forget the many trees of the Chequamegon, Grandfather Falls, Baraboo Hills, Dells of the Eau Claire near Wausau, and the colorful trees around the kettle lakes of Chippewa, Barron and Washburn counties, just to name a few. How lucky we are to have the liberty and freedom to visit these towers, parks, and bluffs of Wisconsin. So climb a tower

to view the color this year. The scene will be exciting from those heights. If you can’t get to a tower, remember, the parks, lakes and bluffs are there too. Happy hiking and happy fall color days.
Winter upon us
by Shirl Yeazle
Soon winter will be upon us with snow everywhere. That reminds me to get out my winter underwear.
My snow shovels are sitting on the porch. I know the snow is coming, so I’m getting ready of course. I hate the thought of winter with snow and cold temps. Not one of us is going to be exempt.
So till the snow flies and winter hits full force, I’m going to enjoy my fall cleanup chores.

A
little girl, when coming into New York with her father, looked in wonder at the Statue of Liberty. Later that night she said, “Dad, I’ve been thinking about the lady out there in the darkness, holding up the light. She needs someone to help her. Yes, she needs each American. Liberty is more than something to be loved. It’s something to be lived. It’s not only the right to do as we please, but to be pleased to do what is right. And it’s having the God of righteousness in our hearts that produces the righteousness of God in our lives. The Bible says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Visit us at: TheSower.com
