SPOONER - Artists of Wisconsin’s Northwest Heritage Passage are spotlighted in its newest project, the Arts in Hand Gallery, opening early May, at 237 Walnut St. in Spooner. The gallery name reflects and reinforces the handmade and homegrown focus in the WNHP logo. “We are excited and proud to announce our newest endeavor,” said Passage President Jerry Boucher. “In January this year, we held a strategic planning session at which our board members talked about ways to get more visibility for our organization. This gallery gives us and the artists of the 13 counties we support the perfect vehicle for both their visibility and ours.” “The Passage started primarily with Spooner artists and the help of the Spooner Area Chamber of Commerce, because the original passage concept focused on the Hwy. 63 corridor and the counties around it,” explained Ruth Skeie, Passage treasurer and Spooner resident who spearheaded the gallery project. “We felt we should stay here or close by. I’ve been checking on potential office and gallery space here and in neighboring communities. When I heard
by Danielle Moe Register Staff Writer SHELL LAKE — The unseasonably cold and snowy weather experienced this spring has affected school sports and area businesses. Shell Lake Cooperative manager Kathy Means can feel its effects on every level of the business — from fuel sales, to the uncertain turnout for this year’s fishing opener. “We sell live bait, licenses and other fishing supplies, but because of ice being on the lakes still, it’s definitely going to affect the opener.” The cooperative relies heavily on the local people and their farming needs. In a usual spring, they see more sales in fuel to the farmers and seasonal residents. “It’s been so cold and we have had so much snow, people haven’t even come up yet to get things ready for the summer,” said Means. The cooperative also sells the necessary products like fuel, seeds and fertilizer to farmers. Farmers have been unable to be out in their fields working the land with the amount of snow still on the ground. “Things just go hand
in hand, and with the weather being stifled like it has been, it has a snowball effect on every part of the our business,” Means explained. Linda and Steve Degner of the Bashaw Valley Greenhouse, Shell Lake, are doing their best to beat the cold temperatures, and lack of sunlight. When flower sales make up 70 percent of your business you have to get dirty. That’s when they made changes. “What we have done is pushed back the date of the bare-root sale and changed the date of when we go to transplant the seedlings,” explained Linda. The Degners have four separate greenhouses, each set at a different temperature for optimum plant growth. What really hurts the greenhouse is the lack of sun. “We can control the moisture inside, but when you have those cloudy days, it causes problems with diseases and affects the growth of the plant,” explained Linda. For this couple that isn’t such a problem, as they’ve been in the plant-growing business for 25 years. Experience facilitates growing beautiful flowers despite the unreasonable weather. “Our window is smaller this year,” acknowledged Linda. “This time last year we were in full swing.”

Denim Day, community members march for awareness by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER — On Wednesday, April 24, locals turned out for the Denim Day Walk held every year to raise awareness against sexual violence. Participants, young and old, wore their denim proudly in the windy and wet spring weather. Christine Nash, domestic violence victim advocate with the Time-Out Abuse Shelter, has been organizing the march for six years. “It was a pretty good turnout; we usually have 20-some people every year; we are very happy to see the people that did come out,” said Nash. Last year, Nash’s daughter designed and decorated two pairs of jeans; one was borne as a flag at the head of the marchers on Wednesday. Wearing denim as a sign of protest began by women of the Italian Parliament outraged over the Supreme Court’s overturning the rape conviction of a 19-year-old girl. In 1999, Peace Over Violence began asking community members around the country to make a social statement by wearing jeans as a visible protest about the assumptions around sexual assault. Audrey Neal, a sexual assault advocate at the Washburn County Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter, has been helping organize the march with Nash.
Neal became involved with women’s rights while she attended college at Gustavus Adolphus College. “I volunteered as an on-call advocate for sexual assault victims through Crime Victim Services,” said Neal. After college she began working with the shelter. Dawn Wagner, Spooner, turned out with fellow protestors, even in the inclement spring weather. “This is my fourth year doing the march. Our agencies work together,” she said. Wagner works with the Indian Head Community Action Agency, which works with the Time-Out Abuse Shelter through the people they help. “Depending on whether people need food or are in a violent situation, we will assist them between the agencies,” explained Nash. “Mrs. Bohm’s high school art class decorated a ton of jeans,” added Neal. Those jeans were on display at the Schmitz’s Economart in Spooner until April 27. They will be used as part of a display of decorated jeans that will wrap around the Capitol building in Madison in support of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Thanks to motivated community members like Nash, Neal and Wagner, the Christine Nash, left, and Audrey Neal led the Denim Day march down Main Street in Spooner Denim Day march will continue to raise awareness against sexual violence. “Rain, on Wednesday, April 24. — Photo by Danielle Moe shine or snow!” laughed Nash.
And the two shall be one by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — The two being one phrase is one you usually hear in church during a wedding ceremony. This time it applies to the church itself, or rather to two churches. Lake Park Alliance Church in Shell Lake, located at 505 Third St., was built in the early 1960s. Its inception was due to the folks who were driving to the Green Grove Alliance Church out on CTH H north of Hwy. 70. The congregation wanted a church in town to cut down the drive. Green Grove was a true country church, with outhouses – one of each out back - and seats in the church for not so many, hence the move into town by the bulk of the congregation. Even though Green Grove suffered at first, it picked up steam, added new members and continued on for many years. These Alliance churches are part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance organization, which was begun in 1873 by
A.B. Simpson. Simpson worked in New York with immigrants, those down-andouters who were termed the poor, homeless, sick and displaced. They were all encouraged and welcomed to fellowship together. Simpson began assembling likeminded people with a passion for taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. He proceeded to hold evangelistic meetings on Sunday afternoons and these gatherings, which then grew to camp meetings and revivals in other locations along the East Coast, were essentially the beginnings of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a society, an organization fully devoted to experiencing the “deeper life” in Christ and completing God’s great commission, to “Go ye into all the world” and preach the gospel. Their statement of faith says, “Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the organization and acts as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King.” Today there are more than 2,000 CMA

Washburn County schools receive state test results
Scores from 2011-2012 academic year
by Danielle Moe Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY - Shell Lake, Spooner, Birchwood and Northwood schools have received the test results from the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination. The Wisconsin Student Assessment System is a series of statewide standardized exams consisting of the WKCE and the Wisconsin Alternate Assessment for Students with Disabilities, which is taken by students with significant cognitive disabilities. Both are given each year to students in third through eighth grades and tenth grade across the nation to measure student achievement in five subject areas: reading, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. The testing provides parents, teachers and the state with student performance levels by individual schools for national and international college and career ready expectations. The WKCE results are also used by the Department of Public Instructions to meet its statutory requirement of identifying low-performing schools, meet the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, meet the federal Title I, and to determine which schools and districts throughout Wisconsin meet proficiency standards. Beginning in the 2012-2013 academic school year, Wisconsin changed the state’s standard to better align with the National Assessment of Educational Progress’ cut scores for the WKCE reading and math-
ematics subject areas. According to the Wisconsin DPI, new test questions were added to tests for grades four and eight, and a customized test was used at grade 10 in order to better assess Wisconsin academic standards. Shell Lake Schools Superintendent Jim Connell explained that “the realignment of the WKCE scores to match more closely to the NAEP inherently caused fewer students to be in the proficient and /or advanced category. What the state did, in essence, is raise the bar.” Due to the increased standards, scores cannot be compared to last year’s scores or those from different states. The table at right describes how each level is achieved. The reading and mathematics are scored on a different level according to new testing levels set up by Wisconsin.
Summary of results The following is a summary of how Washburn County schools scored in the performance levels of the WKCE exams. • Shell Lake School District students in grades four and eight beat the state’s proficiency level in reading, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, while grade 10 beat the state performance level in only language arts, science and social studies. “Our scores were where we expected them to be, we will address the needs of some of our struggling learners,” stated Connell. The solution will be the addition of academic summer programs aimed at addressing the deficiencies. • Spooner students in grades eight and 10 overcame the state performance level
in reading. The state performance level in mathematics was only achieved by grade 10, who along with fourth grade achieved state performance levels in science, and social studies. • The fourth- and 10th-grade students in the Northwood School District also achieved state performance levels in reading. Grade 10 achieved this level in language arts, while only fourth grade reached the state level in mathematics. In the science category, fourth and eighth grades prevailed over the state level, while the 10th grade missed the mark by half a percentile. Students in eighth and 10th grades obtained the state performance level in social studies. • Birchwood’s students in grades four and eight achieved the states= perfor-
mance level in reading, while grade four beat the state performance level in language arts and social studies. Grades four and eight obtained the state performance level in science, while grade eight achieved the state level of performance in social studies. Connell pointed out that there is still an economic gap between those noneconomically and the economically challenged students. “Overall, the state is addressing the economic gap issue, and as the state results show, improvement is taking place,” observed Connell. The information in this article along with all report data on proficiency levels can be found online at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s Web site oea.dpi.wi.gov/.
CWD meeting to be held in Shell Lake by Joe Weiss Washburn County CWD Citizens Advisory Committee Special to the Register SHELL LAKE — Do you have questions regarding chronic wasting disease in deer? You are invited to attend a meeting to get those questions answered. The Washburn County CWD Citizens Advisory Committee, in conjunction with the Wisconsin DNR, will be holding an informational meeting at the Shell Lake High School on Tuesday, May 7, starting
at 7 p.m. With CDW spreading outside the hot spots in south central Wisconsin, hunters and citizens have concerns and questions regarding the potential impact of this disease to the deer herd and human health. You will be brought up to date on recent discoveries of CWD in Wisconsin. This meeting will also provide a forum to get your questions answered and make any comments you may have regarding this disease and its effects on you. You will be provided with a better understanding of CWD and its spread, and find out how
Wisconsin specialists are monitoring this disease. This meeting will give attendees background information on the disease itself. Also, results of last fall’s testing program in the area around Shell Lake as well as aerial survey information will be presented. Other topics include an overview of what’s happened so far in the local area, and plans for the future. In addition, Dave Clausen, a Polk County veterinarian and former chairman of the natural resources board, will present a short but very informative discussion on
CWD prevalence rates currently existing in CWD-infected areas of the state, and what it means to those in Washburn County. Remember, this disease affects everyone, both hunters and nonhunters alike. Get informed and get involved in the process. Your CWD Citizens Advisory Committee represents you, and they need your input to effectively contribute to managing this disease. It will take all ideas and efforts to accomplish this.
that has yet to be figured out. “We are just praying that the frost will hold off, but you never know,” Steve finished. Chris Anderson, principal of the Spooner Elementary School and district athletic director, commented that the school has had no games for soccer, softball, baseball or golf yet this spring. “The softball and baseball games are going to have doubleheaders, if not all the games,” stated Anderson. The track team will be able to have meets before the field will be ready for the other sports. “The snow
might be gone but the fields aren’t ready,” stated Anderson. Shell Lakes Athletic Director Jim Campbell is hoping for the best as well. “Kids are pretty upbeat, they will readjust and hopefully things will pick up,” observed Campbell. The coaches are more frustrated than the kids at this point, “I have canceled or postponed 38 contests for baseball, softball and track,” said Campbell. Having coached spring baseball for 16 years, Campbell observed that, “this is the latest
ever that our ball fields are not playable.” Both Spooner and Shell Lake directors commented that their hope is to have kids out and playing as soon as the fields permit. Hope is around the corner with warming temperatures and sunny days to dry out the wettest field for area farmers, athletes and businesses. Expectations are high for the true spring to be unleashed from winter’s lingering grasp.
Unseasonable/from page 1 One bunch that doesn’t seem to be affected by the weather is the cows. The Degners herd has been calving despite the weather, which “seems to encourage more births,” laughed Linda. “We don’t know why though,” speculating excitement generated by the unseasonable weather may be the culprit. “The snow is actually better for the calves,” added Steve “wouldn’t you rather fall into a pile of snow than mud and dirt?” he joked. Between the flower, vegetable, fruit and meat sales, this year will prove to be one
More details released on seven-vehicle crash WASHBURN COUNTY - The Washburn County Sheriff’s Department released more information this week on a sevenvehicle accident which claimed the life of a Springbrook man on Monday, April 15. At approximately 6:45 a.m., Josh V. Stone, 32, of Spooner, was heading east on Hwy. 63 in the Town of Springbrook when slushy roadway conditions caused the driver to lose control and rear-end the vehicle ahead of him operated by Jose C. Amparo, 51, of Spooner. Both vehicles were pulled off to the side of the road when a third vehicle, operated by Erik Strand, 31, of Sarona, eastbound on Hwy. 63, came upon the scene. Strand applied his brakes as he was coming upon the scene when he was struck from behind by a semitrailer, driven by Thomas J. Gale, 54, of Fridley, Minn. Strand’s vehicle spun across the road and came to rest in the opposite lane of traffic. The semitrailer struck at least two vehicles before coming to rest across Hwy. 63. Glenn L. Stangret, 37, of Springbrook, was eastbound on Hwy. 63 when he attempted to slow down and lost control of his vehicle, ending up in the southeast ditch line. The semitrailer was then rear-ended by a Ford F-150 operated by Michael K. Shermo, 55, of Springbrook. Shermo was airlifted by helicopter to DuTwo of seven vehicles involved in a fatal accident April 15 were those of Erik Strand of Sarona and Michael K. Shermo luth where he later succumbed to his injuries. No other injuries of Springbrook. - Photos from Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept. were reported. The vehicles shown in the photos are those of Strand and Shermo. - Danielle Moe, with information from Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept.

Church merger/from page 2 churches in the United States and approximately 20,000 fellowships in 81 countries around the world. Now back to the Shell Lake Church. John Sahlstrom, or “first John,” was originally a farm boy who came from a retail work background, working as a meat cutter for Cub Foods full time for 15 years in the Twin Cities and then five years part time. Before he entered the job market, his mother recommended he attend college while he was still single, so he chose Oak Hills Bible College in Bemidji, Minn. He followed that with the nondenominational Crown College in St. Bonafacius, Minn. While attending both colleges, he was a friend of a guy named John Hendry; they had a lot in common. They both spent years in the work world, they both met their wives in college and they are both the fathers of large families; Sahlstrom with six and Hendry with five children. Sahlstrom was born in Milaca, Minn., and Hendry comes from Solon Springs. They both arrived in this area about the same time, Hendry to Spooner, and Sahlstrom to Shell Lake in the fall of 1999 when he was called to the Lake Park Alliance Church as pastor. Hendry was attending an independent Trego church in 2000 and served as an adult Sunday school teacher, and then the Sunday school superintendent. He was also on the buildings and grounds committee. He would preach occasionally and then was chosen to serve as full-time pastor, which he did until 2010. There was always a desire to be affiliated with a denomination instead of serving in an independent Bible church and Hendry says the CMA was a perfect fit. When he began the Hope Fellowship, which met in the VFW hall in Spooner, it was under the auspices of the CMA. There were other things that linked the small Spooner congregation and the Shell Lake church; the youth group for example. The Hope Fellowship youth
attended the one in Shell Lake. The two men named John also attended the same CMA monthly ministerial meetings and both men had a passion to reach the common man. The clincher was their wives, Nan Hendry and Lynn Sahlstrom, both drove to Barron to work with The Well International, an organization that helps people. They work with the women, help them assimilate to new areas by helping them with employment opportunities, information of where to shop and find places that will be important to them, as well as sharing the gospel with them. After several years of weekly contact between the two wives, they wondered why the two churches just didn’t join together seeing they were both CMA and shared the same heart for reaching people for Christ. Since this past January, both first John and “second John” are serving the combined congregation. Sahlstrom is the lead pastor, which means he does counseling, funerals, weddings and is the chairman of the board. Hendry, or second John, serves as associate pastor, which means he does the preaching and teaching. After several months together already, it seems to be going well. The youth group has its own youth leader and a current head count of 25. The church itself is full to the brim on Sundays and their other services are well-attended. Seeing this relationship is kind of like a marriage, no one is rushing into anything and they are giving it a year before making it final. You might say they’re in the engagement stage now and before the marriage actually occurs, they’re hoping to have worked out any differences that have occurred. If you’d like to get involved or just see what’s going on, Sunday worship services are at 10 a.m. Come early if you want a seat in the back. Here is a church with two gifted men combining their talents and waiting to see how God will use them.

Democratic rural caucus will fight for the Wisconsin beyond Madison, Milwaukee
by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - A dozen Democratic lawmakers have joined together to fight for rural Wisconsin, saying small towns are in danger of fading away. Knox is a small logging community in Price County. It is home to 300 people. Town Chairman Raymond Steinbach says it’s hard to be in the shadow of Milwaukee and Madison. He says too many politicians don’t seem to know the budgetary battles small towns face. And, he says, it’s getting tougher. “You start (with) the federal to the state to the county and all the way down — they just keep pushing it down to where it gets to a town and the town has nowhere else to push it. As they keep doing that to us, we won’t be able to make it.” State Rep. Janet Bewley, D-Ashland, says towns at the end of the road should be talking about expanding broadband access, but they can’t even get decent cell
phone service. “Now they want to extract our resources. It feels a little bit like some sort of colonization of the north. We have got to realize that rural Wisconsin is Wisconsin. It’s not third-world Wisconsin.” But the problem isn’t just “up north.” It’s also down south. Rep. Andy Jorgensen, D-Fort Atkinson, represents Dane, Jefferson, Rock and Walworth counties. He says his farming communities—especially when it comes to schools and road repair — are near the breaking point. “There’s lots of borrowing going on just to pay the bills. You can only go so long before you take on water of that magnitude and your ship’s going to start to sink.” The Democratic Rural Caucus will hold listening sessions starting May 1 in Sparta and Tomah. Other listening sessions will be May 11 in Fennimore and Monroe.
May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
MADISON — With the riding season now under way, motorcycles are rapidly returning to streets and highways throughout the state. More than 500,000 Wisconsin residents have motorcycle licenses or permits and more than 340,000 motorcycles are registered in the state, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. As motorcycles continue to grow in popularity among men and women of all ages, safety is a constant concern. Last year, motorcyclist traffic deaths in Wisconsin increased by 31, or approximately 36 percent, compared with 2011. The 116 motorcyclists’ fatalities in 2012 were the highest number since the all-time high of 123 in 1979. “During May, which is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, we’re reminding motorists to share the road and watch for motorcycles, especially at intersections and while making turns and lane changes,” says Greg Patzer, manager of the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program. “Motorists often have difficulty with accurately judging the time, speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle. To prevent crashes, motorists should check the position of a motorcycle at least two or three times before they start to drive through an intersection or make a turn.” Patzer also emphasizes that motorcyclists need to make responsible decisions to reduce their risks of serious or fatal injuries. “Motorcyclists must obey all traffic laws, such as speed limits, and never ride while impaired. They should always wear protective and conspicuous clothing and gear, including a helmet that meets or
exceeds U.S. DOT standards. Tragically, 74 percent of the motorcyclists who died in crashes last year in Wisconsin were not wearing helmets. Riding a motorcycle also takes more physical skill and mental concentration than driving a car. Becoming a lifelong learner through formal training is critical to a rider’s safety.” To save lives and reduce injuries from crashes, the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program has provided rider training for 32 years and has graduated approximately 163,000 riders in that time. The Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program has expanded its courses to offer comprehensive training for riders at all levels of experience from beginner to advanced. In addition, the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program will hit the road again this year with its mobile training facility, theTransportable High-End Rider Education Facility, to reach out to motorcycle riders and motorists around the state. THE REF promotes training for all riders as well as motorists’ awareness of motorcycles on the road. This riding season, THE REF is scheduled to visit motorcycle rallies, county fairs, local festivals and other events in more than 40 locations. Patzer concludes, “Now more than ever, we need well-trained and responsible motorcycle riders along with motorists who share the road to help reach the goal of reducing the number of preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin.” For information about Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program rider training courses and locations, visit the WisDOT Web site at dot.wisconsin.gov. — from WisDOT
Historical society elects officers
by Rod Ripley Special to the Register SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County Historical Society elected five members to serve a three-year term on the board of directors at its April meeting. Those elected were Elmer Anderson Jr., Rene Bell, Marion Furchtenicht, Mary Olsen and Rod Ripley. Curt Atkinson was voted to the position of associate director. Other members of the board are Myrna Atkinson, Shelley Fox, Marguerite Kevan, Robert Lampman, Rose Mangelsen, Joyce Ripley, Cathy Wahlstrom and Robert Washkuhn. Tim Brabec serves as the county board liason. The board then re-elected Rod Ripley, president; Joyce Ripley, vice president and Cathy Wahlstrom, secretary/ treasurer, to serve another one-year term. The board also decided to proceed with the removal of two very large old maple trees on the newly acquired Bennett lot and the construction of a multipurpose garage. Bids are to be let in the near future. Bob Durand donated a very small token he found when he and his brother, Richard, were demolishing the old Chatter Box Bar in Spooner in the 1970s. The token
read, “John Paffel, Spooner, Wis.” on one side and “Good for a five cent drink” on the opposite side along with a very small pool table. John Paffel constructed the building about 1888 at the corner of River and Walnut where the little park is now located. So the token must be well over 100 years old. Another downstate party inquired about the Shell Lake canoe he now owns and is getting ready to refurbish. A check of the serial number 117/91 in the old company records indicates it was a 17-foot-long Deluxe sold to a store in St. Paul along with four others in 1946 at a cost of about $98 each. The society gets requests on a regular basis from individuals to check on the history of their watercraft. So there must still be many old Shell Lake and Peterson Company boats and canoes scattered around the nation subjected to their owner’s love and care to have lasted this long. The Shell Lake Garden Club is planning on using their green thumb on the Washburn County Historical Society grounds in Shell Lake this summer. We can expect a place bursting out in blooms.

Area news at a glance ST. CLOUD, Minn.— Dr. John Harlander, 1977 graduate of Frederic High School, and now a physicist at St. Cloud University, recently learned he will be part of a team project to develop instruments for a satellite mission that will be launched in 2017. A professor of physics, astronomy and engineering, Harlander will be part of the Ionospheric Connection or ICON Team, which will design, fabricate and test an optical instrument that will measure winds and temperatures in the thermosphere, an upper layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. Harlander notes the expertise he will lend to the NASA project lies in building instruments, but that he will also be involved in the data analysis once the satellite is collecting data from space. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• RICE LAKE — Building permits totaling $134,600 in new construction were issued by the city of Rice Lake in March.

National Correctional Officers Week is May 5 - 11
SHELL LAKE — National Correctional Officers Week this year is Sunday-Saturday, May 5-11. Because jailers/correctional officers are the unsung and often unrecognized portion of the law enforcement community it is easy to forget there are 14 permanent and four LTE Washburn County jailers staffing the jail/dispatch center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Correctional officers work where most Washburn County citizens never want to go, the second floor of the Law Enforcement Center in Shell Lake. Correctional officers serve those citizens taken into custody who, at the very least, have acted irresponsibly, while others may have committed very heinous crimes, and can be some of the most dangerous, devious and unstable citizens in our society. Each day, jailers and correctional officers put themselves at risk to work with a population that the general public often does not really want to know anything about; they just know they want offenders locked up.
“Communication is the key,” states Dan Brereton, president of the Washburn County Jailer/Dispatchers Association. “If you can communicate effectively with people you will do a good service at this job.” Brereton also credits the resources provided by the sheriff and department administration. “We really are provided everything we need to perform our jobs efficiently and correctly,” something he attributes to being a small jail. “Because of our smaller size it allows the sheriff and chief deputy to be involved in the day-to-day operations allowing them to know what it actually takes to operate a jail, something you may not be afforded in a larger county.” Washburn County residents can be assured that safety and security of the inmates are the priorities at the Washburn County Jail, protecting the inmates on the inside, in turn, protects the public on the outside. — submitted

Art club asked to create mural by Morgan Krueger and Savannah Steines SHELL LAKE — Fifth- and sixth-grade members of the art club at Shell Lake Schools were asked to use their exquisite talent to put together a mural revolving around the Laker Way. The Laker Way has been a great new set of rules that keeps our young Lakers safe. The Laker Way is to be safe, respectful, responsible, and be a problem solver. Students Savannah Steines, Morgan Krueger, Keolani Baumgarta, Opal Warren, Lainey Hutton, Alexis DeLadi, Ashtyn Smith, Tayla Lundberg, Cassidy Mehsikomer, Christian Johnson, Megan Anderson and Jaclyn Taylor worked hard for four weeks to accomplish this work of art. Thanks to these talented and young artists we now have a beautiful new work of art hanging in our school commons.
McLain Hutton puts the final touches on her painting as her classmates, Morgan Krueger and Savannah Steines, watch. Art is a good way for young adults to express themselves and to connect with other students.
The Shell Lake fifth- and sixth-grade art club painted a large painting of their impression of the Laker Way. Shown, back row (L to R): Ashton Smith, Morgan Krueger, Savannah Steines and McLain Hutton. Front row: Megan Anderson, Tayla Lundberg, Christian Johnson, Cassidy Mehsikomer and Keolani Baumgart. By designing and painting the Laker Way mural, the students take ownership in the new program. – Photos by Larry Samson

Arts center seeks candidates for Frischmann Memorial scholarships
SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake Arts Center is seeking candidates for two John Frischmann Memorial Scholarships: a $250 scholarship for a young actor or actress finishing grades 6-12 to attend acting and playwriting camp, which takes place during the week of July 21-26, and a $250 scholarship for a young musician finishing grades 6-12 to attend guitar and bass camp, taking place July 28-Aug. 2. The arts center requests that nominees are not currently registered for the scholarships’ specific camp at Shell Lake. John Frischmann was an avid supporter of the arts as well as the Shell Lake Arts Center; these scholarships support two of his and his family’s favorite areas of the performing arts. The arts center is honored to be a part of this very special opportunity for students. Acting and playwriting camp is led by working New York City actor Eric Mark Olson. Students will study vocal production, stage presence, body language and personalizing characters. They will also learn about the basics of auditions and rehearsals, and spend the week writing their own show. Whether students have lots of experience or have never been onstage, this program is for every budding actor and actress. About acting and playwriting camp, Olson states, “For those who have ever sung in choir, painted a picture, gone dancing or stood onstage and acted out a story, you will know firsthand that the arts have the power to heal, teach, inspire and grow amazing young human beings. Acting at its core is an investigation of the human condition. Discovering new aspects of the
human experience through the characters we play offers us a unique window into the lives of others. This investigation helps us gain understanding and acceptance of others in the world around us, not to mention a great awareness of ourselves. In essence, through writing and acting out the stories we choose to tell, we create a voice in the world that people can hear. In this way, I want students to understand that they have a voice, that they matter, and they can be the change in the world they wish to see.” Guitar and bass camp gives young guitarists and bassists the opportunity to learn the many different styles of music played by the acoustic and electric versions of their instruments. With instructors Billy Barnard, Chris Bates and Chris Olson, students will partake in music history and theory classes, note reading classes, special sessions with guest artists and clinicians, faculty performances, and more. When asked about their experience at guitar and bass camp, one camper responded, “It was amazing. I cannot believe how much I learned, and I made a lot of friends, built great relationships with the teachers, and wish I could stay longer!” To participate in the guitar and bass camp, students must have a minimum of six months’ experience playing the guitar or bass. Interested applicants or anyone who would like to nominate a student should contact Tara Burns, executive director of the Shell Lake Arts Center, by Wednesday, May 15, at 715-468-2414. — from SLAC

EAU CLAIRE — The high flows that have occurred on Wisconsin rivers due to the recent snow melt are a reminder of how powerful the forces of nature can be and how important it is to stay safe when boating, canoeing, kayaking or seeking other recreation opportunities on rivers. With the Saturday, May 4, Wisconsin Fishing Opener just around the bend, Xcel Energy is joining with the Midwest Hydro Users Group in observing Dam Safety Awareness Week, April 29-May 4, to promote public safety awareness near dams and prevent accidents throughout the boating and fishing seasons. “Boating or canoeing above or below a dam can be very dangerous, especially if the flow changes and your boat is anchored in a hazardous area,” said Rob Olson, hydro operations, at Xcel Energy. “If there’s a sudden water discharge from the spillway gates, you risk capsizing.” Many of the accidents and fatalities that occur near dams could be prevented by using common sense, practicing safety, staying clear of dams and under-
standing the dangers to be found near them. Xcel Energy, HUG, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources personnel and local safety officials offer these tips for personal safety near dams: Obey all warning signs, barriers and flashing lights, horns and sirens. Wear a personal flotation device – a life jacket. Always stay outside buoy lines and away from restricted areas near dams. Never swim or wade near a dam. Never boat or fish alone when near a dam. Leave your boat motor running to provide maneuvering power. Stay clear of spillways. Changing currents and “boiling” waves can make boat control difficult near dams. Reverse currents occur below dams. They can pull a boat back toward the dam into the spillway and capsize it. Never anchor boats below a dam because water levels can change rapidly. Bring a cell phone and contact 911 in an emergency. Xcel Energy wants fishermen, boaters, outdoor enthusiasts and visitors to enjoy the many exceptional recreational resources to be found on rivers and around dams in the region. — from Xcel Energy
May Day I
don’t know about you, but I am getting a bit nervous that we may not have May flowers for May Day. As April showers bring May flowers, I don’t know if the little white and purple beauties have much chance with the cold temperatures April has given us this year. Perhaps those delicate little flowers are saying, “May Day, May Day!” As Milt and I sat around the dining room table one day, he shared about a May Day experience he had while still an elementary school student. Living in the town of Falun, he had a crush on classmate Debbie Gronlund. He decided to make her a May basket and hang it on the door to her parents’ house. He made sure he wasn’t quiet about it, and when he heard the front door open
and someone come out, he made sure he ran slowly enough to be caught. He didn’t turn around to see who was pursuing him after finding his May basket. When the person caught up to him, tackling him to the ground and giving him a kiss, it was then that he discovered it wasn’t Debbie that was acknowledging him, but rather her mother, Marilyn. One should never assume. There are times that Milt has presented me with a May basket. He either hands it to me or has it setting on the dining room table. It probably is better this way. I would hate to have to chase him around the yard trying to give him a kiss. After all, you never know what the neighbors might think if they should happen to notice.

Huge surpluses, weak markets leave state cranberry growers worried by Steve Roisum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Wisconsin and other cranberry-growing states are sitting on a near-record surplus of their crop. Cranberry growers in Canada saw their best harvest yet last year. Much of that
abundance was shipped to the United States. Tom Lochner, the director of the Wisconsin State Cranberry Grower’s Association, says that to make matters worse, fewer people are buying cranberries and cranberry-based products in this coun-
try. That means farmers in Wisconsin and elsewhere are seeing very little, if any, profit: “We have the potential to see some economic distress for growers in the (United States).” There are still 50 million pounds of cranberries in the United States that have gone unsold. Wisconsin’s congressional delegation is asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to buy the berries with tariff funds. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., says that’s money that can go into
the pockets of cranberry growers who are trying to stay afloat: “It’s created a situation in this past year where we think the (USDA) should take some action just to stabilize what’s going on.” But the problem could get worse. The cranberry industry continues to expand in Canada. Lochner says growers there will probably outproduce Massachusetts in the next two years — the second largest cranberry producer in the United States, behind Wisconsin.

Area writers corner My Spring Fun by Gerry Chartraw I thoroughly enjoyed myself on my tour today, Checking out all the flowers in the area greenhouses, my way. The blooms are so beautiful, carefully grown to perfection, All waiting for me to find, ready for my inspection. Those lovely little faces of the pansies make me smile, Each flower has its own personality, makes me stop for a while.
The blossoms for the begonia are so delicately designed, Shade, hmm, oh where a place that the sun doesn’t shine? Oh which plant will I choose for Mother’s Day for my mom? Should it be this one, or this one, or that … oh come on! Now another choice of something for my daughter-in-law, Oh yes, those pansies, where are the ones I saw? Finding the right choice for the grandkids to give to their mother, What color did she like, yellow or red or orange, oh brother.
Four and five generations
Thinking about what plants I need for the county fair, Maybe that will be my next trip, have to plan that, do I dare? I’m afraid the answer to that question is a great big yes, But for the time being my checkbook is quite a mess. Thank you, Lord, for the season of spring into summer, I love choosing flowers, planting a
garden, the thought of fall, a bummer. I wish to enjoy more days like this one now done. I hope for more trips, flower shopping under the late spring sun. Thank you, God, for days like the one I had today, But days are your will and will be done your way.
Clarification on poem SHELL LAKE — It was brought to the attention of the Register staff that the poem “Sister,” which was published in the Area Writers Corner of the April 24 edition of the Register, was written by Shirley Stellrecht. Also in the April 24 edition of the Reg-
ister, in the article on Stellrecht, titled A Nation of Pioneers from the Start, Stellrecht would like to point out that in the photo of the 12-point buck she shot, that she made the cattails out of small basswood limbs and dowel sticks. — from WCR
Safe-to-sleep tips given by child safety coalition SPOONER — Safety experts and medical providers have been advising parents to put their infants on their backs to sleep, which has resulted in a 50-percent drop in cases of sudden infant death syndrome. Now their advice has expanded from the theme of back to sleep to safe to sleep. Safe to sleep means doing everything you can to keep your infant safe. Here are some tips from the Sudden Infant Death Center, sidscenter.org, to keep your baby safe while sleeping: • After feeding and burping, place baby on her/his back in a safety-approved crib or bassinet near your bed, but not in your bed. The crib or bassinet is the safest place for baby to sleep. • Enjoy cuddling baby when awake, but don’t fall asleep together while holding baby close. • Baby should never sleep on sofas, chairs; recliners or waterbeds; soft surfaces such as pillows, cushions, sheepskins or quilts; or any bed with another adult or child. • Use a firm crib mattress with a tightfitting crib sheet. • Keep pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys, bumper pads and other soft objects out of baby’s crib

or bassinet. • Avoid sleep positioners, apnea monitors and other items that promise to reduce the risk of SIDS. These have not been proven safe or effective. • Make sure that baby is not too warm. Keep the room at a temperature that feels comfortable for a lightly clothed adult. • Use light sleep clothing like a onepiece sleeper instead of loose blankets. Be sure the sleeper is the right fit and not too large for baby. • Keep baby’s head uncovered during sleep. • Don’t allow anyone to smoke around your baby or in your home or car. • Talk to grandparents, relatives, friends, baby sitters and child-care providers about safe sleep and what works best to help baby fall asleep on her back every time. Tell everyone who takes care of your baby to follow these important safe-sleep practices. For information about the Keeping Kids Safe in Washburn County Child Safety Coalition, please contact Cheri Nickell at the Washburn County Health Department by calling 715-635-4400, or send an e-mail to cnickell@co.washburn.wi.us. — from WCHD

Bobby Andrea retiring by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — Somehow you have to wonder why an 8-year-old child whose drawing of a comic book character was praised by his sister’s art teacher, and who, at age 10 entered the Draw Me contest and was personally contacted by the people who ran the contest to strongly encourage him to pursue a future in art, decided on law enforcement for his career. Even though he had an uncle who was a commercial artist that made it big with his drawings of the Apollo 14 space program, and a great-uncle who had served in WWI and also had a wide stripe of his own artistic ability, Bob Andrea, of Spooner, decided to join the National Guard at age 17 instead of attending some prestigious college known for their arts program. A 1979 graduate of Spooner High School, Andrea joined the Spooner Police Department in 1981 as a part-time rookie. In those days there were no formal requirements to become a law enforcement officer except for a diploma from high school. Once hired, he got his certificate after 280 hours of training. He began his life of staggered shifts, sleepless nights and dealing with assorted crimes that ranged from bar fights to murders, several of them still unsolved to this day.

Here is the wartime picture Bob Andrea painted for his dad honoring his military service during WWII as a tank commander during the Battle of the Bulge.
Birthday party benefits children in Haiti
Andrea married Jill Darby and they had a son, Jared. He went full time with the department and tried his hand at composite art. He would be the one that sat across from an eyewitness and would draw the face that was being described to him. He still has a book of the sketches he’s done, but the work was spotty at best due to the lack of local crime needing his skills, so he laid it aside. After 20 years in the National Guard, he retired. As of August this year, he’ll retire as the Spooner Chief of Police after 32 years with the department. He served as chief from 2005 to 2013. His wife went back to school at the age of 40 and has a full-time career in nursing. “She loves her job, but as soon as she retires, we’d like to travel and I’d like to have the time to spend painting pictures of what interests me most - 1930s outdoor nostalgic art; cabins, deer, water, canoes.” Most of his artwork up to now has been either commissioned or contest entries. For four years he’s entered the state wildlife stamp contest and has always come out as one of the top 10. He’d like to come in first because that’s the picture used for the official state duck stamp. He came in third in the 1993 National Minnesota Deer Hunting Association’s contest and several sports figures, Reggie White and Brett Favre for example, have their own pictures of themselves painted by Andrea. Andrea’s office at the police department is replete with pictures of wildlife and deer horns. What stands out as an oddity is a picture done in the greens and browns of tanks rolling down a road in
the winter. This was a picture he painted specifically for his father, Bill, including all the memories he had shared with his son as to his part in WWII. Unless those seeing the print knew the story, they would miss realizing the village in the scene was a composite of the village in Belgium where his father fought in the Battle of the Bulge during December 1944. His father, the tank commander, was only 19 years old. Andrea painted in the church’s bell tower because his father said it was the first thing they shot down when they arrived in a new town because it was a common place for snipers to sit in order to see the entire town. His father received a Purple Heart from that battle and a memory of that time when he received the picture in 2006 before he died. Things are a little different at the department from when Andrea started 32 years ago. Now there are three fully equipped squads instead of the one old vehicle they had years ago with lights on top that rattled terribly as they drove it through town. Even the tires were bald. Now there are seven well-trained officers instead of their old skeleton crew. When the “cop shop” was located across from the Spooner Ice House on Walnut Street in the two-story red brick building, they only had one typewriter and it was a manual. They had to make copies of reports using endless sheets of carbon paper. There were holes in the floor that let mice in and eventually there was a cat. Andrea credits his choice of law enforcement as a good choice. He has always been thankful for his generously supportive family and can honestly say the city has always treated him extremely well. “God has blessed me.”
Bob Andrea still has a scrapbook of various police drawings he did for the department during his short career as a composite drawer.

Shell Lake second-grader Hannah Schultz, daughter of Mark and Tanya Schultz, Barronett, celebrated her eighth birthday at a party with her friends. Each girl attending the birthday party on Saturday, April 20, brought presents. The gifts included items such as underwear, socks, shirts, shorts, flip-flops and hair ties; all items that a young girl may need.
These gifts weren’t for Hannah though. As she was planning her birthday party, Hannah decided she wanted to give her birthday gifts to children in Haiti. The Schultz family contacted Susan Dodds of Shell Lake who is involved in mission work through the Love For Lozandier ministry. Love for Lozandier’s focus is to provide education and basic health care to the children in Lozandier, Haiti. On her next trip to Haiti, Dodds plans to deliver the items the girls have given.

Rain or shine, ice or open water, fishing is a Wisconsin family tradition DNR has affordable options for anglers of all ages by John Gozdzialski, WDNR, Northern Region Director Special to the Register NORTHWEST WISCONSIN — Northern Wisconsin weather for the fishing opener has been notoriously fickle over the years and some have joked that this year’s is more suited to ice fishing. Some years, anglers have had to shovel snow from their docks and brush off their boats before heading out on windwhipped lakes, mindful of mini icebergs. Other years the sun has shined bright and the breezes were almost tropical, calling for sunglasses, sunblock and shorts. This year, Gov. Scott Walker and DNR
Secretary Cathy Stepp will wet their lines on May 4-5 for the 48th-annual Governor’s Fishing Opener in Bayfield County. Opening day this year follows the coldest March on record and is shaping up as the polar opposite of the 2012 season opener followed the hottest March on record. Former Gov. Warren Knowles, an avid angler, started the tradition in 1965 to officially open the state’s game fishing season. The angling event is held at various locations throughout northwestern Wisconsin each year and is sponsored by the Wisconsin Indian Head Country tourism group. This event is by invitation only to state and local government officials, chambers, businesses and media. But there are plenty of places to fish, and many other people will also be cast-
ing on Wisconsin waters, if not opening weekend, then in the summer months to come. And why not? The game fishing season is long and fishing is good, even when the fish haven’t been biting. For license information you can stop by one of the DNR service centers, call tollfree 877-LICENSE (877-945-4236), or go online, Online Licensing Center. Fishing is a great experience whether it be as an individual, family or with a group of friends. It can be done in waders, on a dock, or from a boat with top-of-theline gear, or with a good old cane pole. Anglers can find information about fish populations in specific waters in the 2013 Wisconsin Fishing Report. Forecasts are arranged by fish species. Longtime DNR fish biologists and tech-
nicians share their predictions for the opener and their tips for catching fish given the low water temperatures and late spawning. For more information, searching the DNR Web site for Fishing Wisconsin. So come out and cast your line with other avid anglers of Wisconsin. You’ll find fishing on the Great Lakes of Michigan and Superior, one of the state’s thousands of other lakes, and on its wonderful rivers, including the Brule, St. Croix, Mississippi and Wisconsin. Enjoy the opener, enjoy the summer and no matter if you catch and release or have a shore lunch, you can count on fun and many memorable moments.

SPORTS
Season finally begins by Larry Samson Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake had a 5-0 and a 15-5 win over the Washburn Castle Guards in a doubleheader held Saturday, April 27, in Shell Lake. Shell Lake started Sam Livingston, who had 13 strikeouts to shut out Washburn in the first game. Brandon Skille started the
BJ Burton slides into second base on a steal, well ahead of the throw. This set him up for scoring as Beau Skluzacek hit a line drive to right field.
Brandon Skille made his first start as a pitcher and got the 15-5 win as Shell Lake took the second game in the doubleheader. He gave up four runs on four hits and walked one batter in his debut on the mound. With the short season and the restrictions on pitchers, he should see a lot of starts.
second game. In his first start as a pitcher, he held Washburn to four runs on four hits before he came out of the game in the fourth inning. Short of pitchers because of the short season due to the cold weather, BJ Burton came out from behind the bag as the catcher and closed up the game with two strikeouts. Shell Lake baseball and softball teams moved over to the West Lakeland Conference with Grantsburg, St. Croix Falls, Unity, Frederic/Luck, Clayton, Cameron and Webster/Siren. This came about when the Central Lakeland Conference was eliminated and the conference was divided into East and West Lakeland Conference. With eight teams in the conference and 14 conference games to play, there will be a lot of doubleheaders, so instead of seven innings there will be five innings in a doubleheader game. Shell Lake will host Unity in a doubleheader on Thursday, May 2. Start time

dition, he clearly places a priority on these supportive events, which serves a model for our other members, who might claim it is difficult to find time in their schedules for CTE support. If a president can find the time and resources, others can as well.” Meyer received his award April 11 during the annual professional development conference in Middleton. “Given its rich history of contributions to CTE statewide, I am very moved to have received this recognition,” said Meyer. “However, I believe this recognition reflects less on me personally and more on the many people at WITC that have contributed their efforts to WACTE, as well as our staff and faculty that have devoted their energies toward excellence in providing career and technical education offerings which enormously benefit our students.” Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College serves the educational and career needs of more than 25,000 residents of northwestern Wisconsin each year. With multiple campuses, WITC offers careerfocused associate degree programs, technical diplomas, short-term certificates, customized business training, and a wide array of courses for personal or career enrichment. WITC is a member of Wisconsin Technical College System. WITC is an equal opportunity/access employer and educator. For more information, call 800243-9482 or visit witc.edu. — from WITC

SHELL LAKE — Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College President Bob Meyer was recently selected as a recipient of a Wisconsin Association for Career and Technical Education 2013 President’s Award. This award is presented each year to outstanding professionals in career and technical education. “I’m humbled and appreciative to have received this recognition because of the high regard I have for the Wisconsin Association of Career and Technical Education,” said Meyer. The Wisconsin Association of Career and Technical Education combines the efforts of more than 800 professionals from all levels of education in Wisconsin, as well as business and industry partners, to promote career and technical education. WACTE’s focus is on professional development of its members and development of CTE leadership statewide. “As we consider the vital role CTE plays in our economy preparing individuals to be job ready, I am grateful for WACTE’s role in advocating for the importance of CTE across Wisconsin,” said Meyer. “I’ve been greatly inspired by this organization under Executive Director Bette Lou Esser’s leadership and I am proud that one of our own at WITC, Leslie Bleskachek, currently serves as WACTE’s president.” “Bob set aside funding for WITC employees to attend CTE events at a time of unprecedented budget cuts,” said Bleskachek, who also serves as WITC academic dean, business division. “He also attended and participated in many of the organized events during the year. The fact that he set aside time in his very busy calendar demonstrates his commitment to CTE, its stakeholders and students. In ad-

Caren’s Family
SARONA — Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona is proud to present its second-annual Prairie Fling Festival on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Prairie Fling is an opportunity to reconnect people to people, people to community and people to nature. Last year, over 300 people enjoyed artisian and craft booths, homemade foods, community organizations, live music from groups like the Porch Dogs and Second Wind String band, kids activities and much more. Visitors to Prairie Fling will have many options on how to get to the main events from the parking area. Quickly earn your 1,000 steps for the day by walking the onethird mile into camp through the prairie meadow or grab a ride in the free van shuttle. If you want a unique transportation option, hop on the wagon and ride into camp with Taylor Johnson’s horse team or hitch a ride by tractor. Once visitors arrive into the main camp, there is plenty to do. Don’t miss out on the free photo booth and get your picture taken with a Hunt Hill animal. Then stop by Rachel Murphy’s caricature booth to get a great deal on a fun caricature. Meet Francis Andrews, the original landowner, and learn the history of Hunt Hill as you explore the grounds and buildings. There will be plenty of community groups, artists, kids activities and more.

I
t is not often that you hear of this man, a man who is so dishonest that even his shadow is crooked. One day, however, he became a Christian. A neighbor who noticed the dramatic difference asked his wife, “Has your husband changed his religion?” “No,” came the reply. “My husband has never been religious. He turned his life over to Christ and God changed him.” No one has to stay the way they are, discouraged, defeated, disgraced, dishonest. If we ask him, God can and will change us. But we must be willing. One’s age, background and attitude are irrelevant. God can take what we have and turn our fear into faith, our weakness into strength and make our crooked lives straight. Again, we must be willing if we want to experience his power to bring about his change in our lives. Here’s the question we must all answer. If I am not who God wants me to be, am I willing to surrender my life to Christ and allow his power to change me into his likeness? Visit us at: TheSower.com.

by Rich Kremer Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - An especially wet and late spring in Wisconsin has left forestry officials at the Department of Natural Resources scrambling to complete necessary prescribed burns on state lands. This delay could give invasive plants a free pass and could make later management more expensive. Each spring Ralph Sheffer and his fellow fire operations specialists take to the state’s prairie grasslands and burn them to the ground. This kills off the more aggressive invasive plants and keeps brush and unwanted trees from eating up the prairie. Sheffer says normally they’ve got about two and a half months to burn, but with the snow on the ground up north and rain in the south, they’re way behind. “This year, as of today, we’re looking statewide at 168 prescribed burns for just over 6,000 acres. Compared to last year at this date it was 363 burns — just half the number of burns — but we had
almost 19,000 acres burned.” Last year was dryer than usual but Sheffer says this late spring means the time he can do prescribed burns will likely be cut by four to six weeks. “The opportunities that we get, we’re going to go out and hit as hard as we can and as quick as we can with the days that we’re able to burn. But we’re also recognizing that we’re going to miss opportunities to burn this year.” Sheffer says it’s more critical to burn on some lands than others and if any of those are missed they’ll have to use other approaches. “We may have to go out and use other means — like mechanical or chemical — in order to treat it, in order to maintain them in some of the more critical areas where it may be a make or break.” Sheffer says prescribed burns are much faster and more effective way to remove problem plants before they take over managed grasslands. He says chemical or machine treatments cost more.

Barronett by Judy Pieper Yea! We have beautiful weather again. We went from 2-foot drifts of snow by the house on Wednesday to a snow-free yard on Sunday. The flowers are blooming in the front flower bed. We’re so glad to have some springtime weather. Pastor Todd read a thank-you note to the congregation of Barronett Lutheran from the Cumberland Food Pantry on Sunday morning. It was unexpected, but really nice to know that someone notices things that we do to try to help. The congregation would like to thank Leroy Orth, too, for taking time out of his busy schedule to deliver the food to Cumberland every Friday. Pat Sweet and her sisters and friends, Carol Johnson, Sandy Chartrand and Jan Sutherland, were among the many who attended the LWML Spring Rally at First Lutheran Church in Rice Lake on Saturday, April 20. Pat said that 91 people attended, and that 15 different churches were represented. Guest speakers were Ted Krenzke and Maria Thompson, who spoke on connecting with LCMS China outreach. The Lutheran thrift shop in Rice Lake, Yours, Mine and Ours, put on a style show which included one wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. Pat said that the entire day was interesting and enter-

taining, and that she and her sisters and friends had a very nice time. Speaking of Pat, you know that she and Doug celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary on Sunday, April 28, don’t you? It’s wonderful to see a couple that have been very happily married for so many years. Congratulations to both of you. This Saturday, May 4, is the plant and bake sale at the Wiesner Chapel on CTH V. I think everyone was starting to wonder if the snow would be gone in time to hold the sale, and now it looks like it’s going to be a perfect day. Be sure to stop in and pick up some nice healthy plants at a very reasonable price. This year the Friends of Wiesner Chapel will be serving a hot lunch in addition to having lots of baked goods for sale. Stop by, find just the perfect plants for your garden, eat lots of good food and just generally enjoy a relaxing Saturday. There will be a Race 4 Susan event at Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner on Sunday, May 5, for Pastor Jon and Alice Simundson’s daughter, Susan. The event will start at 9 a.m., and will include a pancake feed, rummage sale and a fun run. It will be a perfect opportunity to get together with friendly people, have some fun and help raise funds to help Susan with some pretty significant medical challenges. Baccalaureate Sunday will be on May 12 at Barronett Lutheran. This year we have two graduating seniors, both from Shell Lake, Allison Socha and Isaac Cusick. There will be coffee and snacks served in the church basement after the worship service so that we are able to congratulate our two graduates. I happened to stop by the Shell Lake Public Library last week, and the Friends of Library group was giving away “Mudbound” by Hillary Jordan in honor of World Book Day. It is a great book, about a landowner and sharecroppers in rural Mississippi during the 1940s. I have finished it, Duane is reading it, and we plan to pass it on to someone else. I think maybe we’ll put our names in it, and the date, and see if it ever gets back to us. Pat Olson stopped by the other day with some barbequed meatballs that she had left over from the Rolling Oaks. Well, she left so many of them that we invited Rick and Robin Theese over for supper, and we still had enough left over to send some home with them. After supper we played one game of 500, and, in order to save the guys a little embarrassment, I won’t tell you who won or what the score was. Jason Maline was up from Milwaukee for a visit this past weekend. Jason, William and Nicholas were at John Malme’s on Saturday, relaxing, enjoying the beautiful

She is one of the performers in “Timeless Tales,” some of Hans Christianson Anderson’s stories. Sharai is playing the Queen Mother in “Princess and the Pea,” Ursella, the sea witch in “The Little Mermaid,” and has bit parts in “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” and “The Ugly Duckling.” There is one more performance this Friday, May 3, 7 p.m., at the WITC campus. Bring your kids, but call ahead for reservations so you won’t be disappointed. Duane and I had breakfast at the Red Brick on Sunday morning. The tables were all full, but there were some free chairs at Meri and Eric Overvig’s table, so they invited us to sit with them. While we were visiting, we learned that during golf tryouts at Rich Valley for Henry Sibley High School, Eric’s son, Kellen, got an albatross — that’s a hole in one on a par four hole — driving 278 yards at hole 5 at Rich Valley. Eric is, understandably very proud of his son. Richard and Ann Hartman from Jordan, Minn., were also at the Red Brick having breakfast, and they stopped by our table to visit for a while. Ann is Gustie Loverude’s daughter and grew up on a farm just outside Barronett. They had been to the casino in Turtle Lake celebrating her birthday with her children, Laurene, from Fond du Lac, Val, from Chicago, Sue, from Oshkosh, and Greg, from Boseman, Mont. After they started chatting, Duane and Richard realized that they knew each other years ago when Duane still lived in Jordan. Small world. Duane had a good time hearing about how his old friends are doing now. Well, Meri and Eric finished their breakfast and had to leave just as Jim and Rita Ladd were walking in. The tables were still full, so I invited Jim and Rita to sit with us. Their grandson-in-law and great-grandchildren, Chad, Connor and Tatum, also joined us, and we had a very nice time visiting with them. Debbie and Charles Knapp were there, too, and they stopped by to chat for a while. It was great. The weather was so nice that, when we got home, we worked outside the rest of the day. After all that fresh air and sunshine, I really didn’t feel like cooking, so we went next door to Bistro 63 for supper. The food and service there is wonderful. I don’t think you will find more delicious potato soup than Jeno makes anywhere. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you are enjoying the wonderful weather, and that you can stop by the plant sale on Saturday. See you then.

Tuesday, April 23, we woke up to our ground covered with snow. Yes, it was winter once again. But that snow melted over the next few days and we now have bare ground, in other words, we have spring. Happy birthday wishes go out to Rebekah Petersen on May 9. Have a wonderful day Rebekah. Happy birthday to Andy Atkinson on May 9 and also to Noah Hile who turns 7 years old. Have a great day, both of you. A very happy birthday to Connie Quam on May 10 and also to Dawn Ternberg, Alice Denotter and Michael Williamson who now turns 6 years old. Have a wonderful day. Happy birthday wishes go out to Mark Stellrecht and also to Greg Atkinson. Have a great one. Happy birthday to my niece, Janie Lauterbach, May 12. Hope you have a wonderful day Janie. Our road limits are now off in Dewey Country. I forgot to put it in last week. This past week I watched the “Dust Bowl Days.” I’m so glad I never lived it like so many people did. Want to know what they used for cough syrup? Well they put in sugar with a drop of kerosene. Don’t know if it helped or not. Those Asian beetles are coming out from their hiding places and they’re lively. I imagine if we’d have slept the winter away we’d be ready to take on the world. One day this past week I took my two pups for walk and what did I hear? Well there were robins, blackbirds and killdeer just a-singing. Yah know, after 12 years, in New York, they found part of an engine wedged in between two buildings from the
settle down. It’s cute to watch them and wonder who’s the winner. We find Bernard Redding had chemo Thursday and wasn’t feeling very well. Bernard’s doctor told him he wasn’t supposed to drive. So Jeff and Dee brought him home after seeing his wife, Sandy, while his daughter, Dawn took him down to Sandy’s. Sandy remains the same. Please keep Bernard and Sandy in your special thoughts and prayers. Saturday found Janie Lauterbach and Noah and Ellianna at the Quams. Janie hasn’t been feeling very well, she tells her mom. Cecil and Evelyn Melton had Richard and Karen Melton, Natalie Melton and her kids, Vicki and Don Trott, Peggy and her daughter Bridgett and Don Lane at their place for supper. Jim Toll tells me he is going to start chisel plowing on Monday after he gets a part for this tractor. Dave was up for the weekend. Jim says corn is now $7.11-$7.15 per bushel. Talking with my daughter Penny Ladd, she tells us their son, Remington, was in a wrestling match at Menomonie and received two firsts. She also tells us that next weekend he wrestles in Wisconsin Dells. We’re cheering for you Remington. Sunday found Carl and Betty Meister at Black River Falls where their granddaughter, Alyssa Hansen, was confirmed. Later at the Hansens house everyone had a dinner. The Meisters came home Sunday evening. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

We closed out April with a heat wave! This past week on Tuesday morning we woke up to 8-9 inches of fresh-fallen snow. But spring sprung with a beautiful weekend, going from white to brown and a hint of green in the lawns after the nice thundershower Sunday evening. It made for happier people, birds and beasts. The lakes are getting darker and darker and folks are hoping by the weekend the ice will be gone. It’s been a long wait. Folks are anxious to get into the fields and gardens. Folks extended their deepest sympathy to the Zaloudek family as another of our dear elders, Amelia Zaloudek, 95, was laid to rest in the Sarona Cemetery. Her funeral was Monday morning at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Shell Lake. It was a huge one with many friends and a large family. Besides her children she had 22 grands, 51 greatgrands and three great-great-grandchildren. She will be remembered as a great lady. Last week I should have announced the arrival of a new baby boy, Ryland Blake Okonek, born April 16, weighing 8 pounds and 7 ounces, born in Minot, N.D., to Krista and Karl Okonek. He joins big brother, Jaydon. Proud grands are Marlene Hanson and Jay and Annie Okonek. Congrats to the happy family. Grandma Marlene flew out from Duluth and spent the past week meeting the new one and helping celebrate Jaydon’s third birthday.

Sept. 11 disaster. Now they’re supposed to look for any other remains. Imagine 12 years and it was finally found. The three Quam boys had the hoof trimmer out on Saturday. Well he was still there about 5 p.m. It’s a good job to get done. Sandy Atkinson tell us her daughter Kristin Carls is having a garage sale at Jim and Sandy’s. Look for the ad in this week’s Register and come and get it. Jimmy Atkinson, Stacy, Minn., came to see his parents, Jim and Sandy Atkinson, over the weekend. Thursday evening Mike and Nancy Murray and Jack and Ginny Schnell came to Diane Hulleman’s and took Diane to the Country Inn for her birthday. Last week the Quam boys took Buddy and Noah ice fishing. The boys certainly enjoyed it and they caught lots of panfish. News from Alene Peterson finds Alene was carrying in her groceries and had to put a bag down. Well she tried to pick up the bag and got her hand under it and then she hit the riser on the step and sprained her fingers. So Alene drove to Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake and they put on splints. She is having a rough time trying to do her housework. At this time the doctors tell Alene they can’t do much but if the pain got so bad she couldn’t stand it, they could do surgery to replace the joints. Think positive, Alene, the sunshine will help. Alene is now 79 years old and those bones don’t heal so fast. Alene tells us grandson Brian and Ashley Peterson had a baby and he was 1 year old on March 30. Happy birthday to Bentley. My two puppies, Rory and Rammy, love to be outside. Yes, they fight and wrestle around on the ground and after awhile they run around and just plain give up and
