Robins have been sighted in the area so spring cannot be too far away. The male robin arrives first to scout out and establish his territory. The female arrives later to build her nest. If it’s any consolation to those who enjoy winter, the old wives’ tale goes something like, it has to snow on a robin’s tail three times before spring is officially here. — Photo by Larry Samson

BURNETT COUNTY – Summer Conservation Camp scholarships offered. As spring approaches and Burnett County residents dream of summer breezes, students and parents alike are eagerly planning their summer agendas. Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Camp offers the perfect opportunity for students to combine career development with fun. The Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Association will be holding their 34th-annual Conservation Camp this year June 12-15 and the association is encouraging youth from all 72 counties to attend and learn more about natural resource conservation. Students will investigate a variety of natural resources including wildlife, soils, forest, lakes and streams, and learn how those resources are managed by professionals. Students can also gain some hands-on experience in the field and find ways that they can use their talents to help protect our natural resources. Conservation Camp also offers a unique opportunity to meet friends from around the state and enjoy hiking, swimming and canoeing. The Burnett County Natural Resources Committee is sponsoring two WLWCA camp scholarships for high school youths entering ninth through 11th grades in fall 2012. Scholarships include registration, meals and lodging for four days. Applications to attend Conservation Camp are available at the Burnett County Land and Water Conservation Department located in the Burnett County Government Center. Deadline for application is Friday, May 18. To find out more about this program and other environmental educational opportunities in the county contact Dave Ferris or Ann Lane at the Burnett County Land and Water Conservation Department, 7410 CTH K, Siren, WI 54872 or call 715-349-2186. - submitted

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY - On the agenda of the county board’s regular monthly meeting Tuesday, Feb. 21, was the endorsement of a proposed purchase of $1 million of private land using stewardship funds and placing the property under the guidance of the DNR. Key to the issue for county supervisors is the potential loss of property tax revenue from the 262 acres of pristine land located between the Minong Flowage and the confluence of the Namekagon River, an area protected under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. Application for stewardship funds by the Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association, which has been working on the project for years, is relying heavily on the support by the county board and the towns of Minong and Chicog. At the Feb. 13 meeting of the county’s executive committee, the proposed land purchase was the focus of debate. Fred Blake, WCLRA citizen volunteer said, “The whole program started four years ago when two owners of the property brought it to our attention that they were putting their property on the market, but want to keep it conserved.”

According to Blake, the DNR negotiated to purchase it and then to protect it. However, they were unable to do so at the time. The WCLRA sent in the application for the Stewardship Grant to purchase the land and are hoping to get a matching grant toward the purchase. This project has been in the works for three or four years. With potential of receiving 75-percent funding toward the purchase of the land, Blake said, “This gives us a great chance to leave this land open to the public for hunting, fishing, etc. Two appraisals will be done. Then the DNR will get a certified value. This is the amount the grant will be funded on.” He said the land in question bridges two pieces of land already owned by the DNR. “One of the factors that are absolutely critical is the payment in lieu of taxes,” he added. “This (payments) is still a part of it which means it would not penalize the county. If this was not the case, we would have backed away from the idea and it would have been dead. We feel solid because we have researched this, but we realize the community has to feel confident in this decision as well.” The Town of Chicog agreed to support the proposal from the WCLRA with the promise of no financial burden from the project. The previous purchase price was $1.2 million, an appraisal was done for $1.445 million, and most recently $1.16 million was the appraised value.

Three airlifted following crash
SPOONER - Three people were airlifted for medical treatment following a head-on collision Sunday, Feb. 19, on Hwy. 70, approximately a half mile west of Tower Hill Road in the Town of Evergreen. According to a police report, Robert A. Hester, 85, and his wife, Diane K. Hester, 77, of Hayward, were driving east on 70 when their vehicle drifted across the centerline into the path of oncoming traffic and collided with a car driven by Iona J. Plath, 83, of Spooner. Washburn County Sheriff’s deputies,
along with personnel from the Spooner Fire Department and Spooner North Ambulance arrived on the scene to find people trapped in their vehicles. The Hesters were in a 2011 Subaru station wagon and Plath was driving a 2008 Chevrolet Impala. All three were taken to Spooner Hospital emergency room and later airlifted to other medical facilities. The accident occurred at approximately 11:53 a.m. - with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept.
Schultz, Jauch unveil iron-mining reform
MADISON — Less than a week after the Senate Select Committee on Mining Jobs was disbanded, former members Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, and Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, have delivered on a commitment they made upon appointment to the committee. Tuesday, Feb. 21, on the common ground of the Capitol rotunda, the two legislators — both former leaders, boasting a combined 60-plus years of legislative experience — introduced the Wisconsin Way Mining Reform Act. “From the first moment this hugely
controversial issue came to the Capitol, my goal has been to create responsible iron-mining reform in a responsible process,” Jauch said. “It truly was a collaborative process, and I am incredibly proud of the product we came up with,” Jauch added. “In this legislation, I believe the voice of the northwoods — indeed, all of Wisconsin — was heard loud and clear.” More information on the bill can be found in the complete version of this story at www.wcregister.net. — from the office of Sen. Jauch

Greg Krantz, executive committee member, noted, “When you talk about a value tax, what fiscal number, what dollar value is being paid on this property now? We get beat up every time we take property off the tax roll. What will the final end dollar amount be? This is the gray area that I don’t like. What about the properties neighboring and when they go to get an appraisal it may bring down their value.” Don Quinton, first vice chair of the committee, said, “The state threatened to take away the lieu of taxes this year. I see a lot of state, federal and county land that won’t be paying taxes.” Steven “Fluffy” Sather, county board chairman, said the land in question is currently getting an appraisal by the DNR for the certified amount, and the county board wants to have those final numbers before the decision is made. Clay Halverson, second vice chair of the committee, asked, “Why would we
need to purchase this to protect it if it is already naturally protected?” Blake responded, “We need to try to get the good and pristine properties when we have the opportunity to protect them.” “This portion falls under the Shoreline Preservation Act and even more than that, the Scenic Waterways Preservation,” Tom Mackie said. “This land is protected already.” According to Blake, the WCLRA has paid the right to purchase the option of $2,000/year to help offset the taxes on this property. This is a real estate first right of refusal which is where the association has the right to offer the same amount of money as a third party offer to the sellers in order to have the option to purchase before anyone else.

Cat shot twice brought to the WCAHS
Silky shown after being helped at the Washburn County Area Humane Society and before his leg had to be removed.
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY - A cat named Silky was brought to the Washburn County Area Humane Society shelter about a month ago, obviously injured and holding on dearly to one of its nine lives. The person who found Silky thought he may have possibly been hit by a car, but X-rays showed he had been shot. Not once, but twice. Once with bird shot and a second time with a .22 rifle that resulted in a broken leg.
An X-ray shows that Silky was shot twice before being brought to the Washburn County Area Humane Society. – Special photos
“Had the .22 not hit the bone, he would have died,” said Penny Dunn, from the WCAHS. To save Silky, his rear leg had to be removed. The WCAHS is hoping to raise donations to help pay for his medical expenses. If you wish to donate, you can send monies to the Washburn County Area Humane Society, 1400 Cottonwood Ave., Spooner, WI 54801.
Public meeting scheduled for Hwy. 63 project in Washburn County Meeting to provide an update of the 2014 project
BARRONETT — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northwest Regional Office in Superior has announced a public information meeting to discuss the Hwy. 63 project from Cumberland to Spooner. The meeting is scheduled from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 27, at the Barronett Town Hall, N1608, Heart Lake Road.

The sheriff’s department also
said they didn’t deem it necessary to respond to Sundvall’s situation, as they felt the bear had already left the area and wasn’t posing any immediate threat. The sheriff’s department did instruct Sundvall not to shoot the bear but Sundvall was defiant in that he was merely trying to prevent another attack. “Every one of them calves have a halfpail of molasses and grain … but that bear did not want that. He wanted calves,” Sundvall said. Both Alberg and Dorn testified on the second day of the trial, and when asked if he felt it was reasonable to believe that the bear might come back after taking two calves, Alberg said “it’s possible,” but also reasonable to believe that the bear wouldn’t come back. Assistant Polk County District Attorney Stephen Dorrance argued throughout the trial that the DNR was acting merely on what they are required to do by law, but attorney Nelson continued to stress that Sundvall merely felt that he was trying to prevent another attack from happening and that he had a reasonable belief that another attack was inevitable. “If this would have happened to me one week later, the same identical thing would have happened again,” Sundvall said. Sundvall also reiterated that he shouldn’t need to make more than one phone call if he needs help again, should an incident like this ever happen in the future. Nor should any farmer. “I don’t want this ever to happen to another farmer again,” Sundvall said in the closing of his testimony.
Farmer found not guilty of shooting bear
by Marty Seeger Special to the Register BALSAM LAKE – A jury trial for a Turtle Lake farmer accused of killing a bear that attacked and killed two of his calves in early July found him not guilty of all charges on Wednesday, Feb. 8, at the Polk County Courthouse. Don Sundvall was charged with two counts, one for killing a bear during the closed season and another for possession of game during the closed season. The jury reached a verdict in slightly over one hour on whether or not Sundvall was justified in protecting his property and preventing another potential attack by the bear. A packed courtroom filled with overwhelming public support for Sundvall heard testimony from game wardens, including warden supervisor Dave Zebro, as well as warden Phil Dorn, who responded to the Sundvall farm along with Chad Alberg, of the Animal Plant and Health Inspection Services. “Something’s got to be changed,” Sundvall said on the stand while being questioned by defense attorney Aaron Nelson of Doar Drill and Skow in New Richmond. Sundvall was referring to the many phone calls he made asking for help from the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, DNR and the Animal Plant and Health Inspection Services the morning before he eventually killed the bear. Sundvall said that his main wish was to see that no other farmer should go through what he had to go through that morning.

When President Obama took office, the national average for regular gas was $1.68. Today it is about $3.50. Why is this? Obama once said that energy prices would necessarily go up, and one of his advisers, Rahm Emanuel, stated, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste,” meaning that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. The president didn’t wait long, when
the BP deepwater drilling rig exploded, Gulf oil drilling was stopped. The expensive deepwater drilling rigs sat idle, while many well-paying jobs were lost. Then the United States, through the U.S. export-import bank, issued a preliminary commitment of $2 billion or more of our money to a Brazilian oil company owned by the Brazil government. Obama stated the U.S. would be Brazil’s best customer. One of the big
beneficiaries was George Soros, who had invested a large amount of money in Brazilian oil. When Obama canceled the Keystone pipeline, a large shovel-ready project that would bring oil from Canada to the U.S., it cost our country thousands of well-paying union jobs. Did the president say he favored unions? Warren Buffet was another one to benefit from this because of his large investment in a rail-
road. Too much favoritism to the rich and influential from the White House. If China gets the Brazilian oil and the Canadian oil over the U.S., what does it matter, we won’t have money to gas our cars anyways.
Many people in America are very upset and frustrated that they make tiny wages while corruption and wealth density is in existence in excess. Some people ask why this occurs, while most know it is due to rich and corrupt people on Wall Street stealing the wealth. Many people think we need to protest our way to our rights and prosperity, but the way it is done now will not work. It
is not individual people, groups, organizations or corporations that are the problems. The truth is it is the ideology of our system that is the problem. The truth is, people must work for what they have. Many people already believe this, but even more falsely believe they believe this. Many people think that having somebody else work for them, so they can profit, is OK.
Stocks, interest, business ownership and hoarding of producing assets are forms of slavery; which most people think are all brilliant ideas. Some people believe if they get a dollar, they produced a dollar, but this is not necessarily true. If people want to be economically free, they must work for themselves or business that does not own them. If patents and shareholders are ig-
nored, and if banking is done without interest, people will actually be able to work and earn what they produce. Fighting will not solve this, only letting go will.
I recently read an editorial titled Obama exploits the Navy Seals, written by Leif Babin, a former Navy SEAL who served three tours of duty in Iraq, earning a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart. He left active duty about six months ago. According to Babin, prior to the current administration, the details of the SEALS operations including how raids are conducted, the equipment used, the
number of personnel involved, the methods of operation and the intelligencegathering techniques were all highly classified. The divulging of this information by top political officials has jeopardized the safety of those conducting the operations and the success of the missions. It also endangers those who are gathering intelligence that enable these clandestine raids and rescue missions to be successful.
A week after the bin Laden raid, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates expressed dismay at the loose lips of Washington’s elite. He told a group of Marines at that time, “Frankly, a week ago Sunday in the situation room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden. That all fell apart on Monday – the next day.” The following is a quote by Babin at
the end of his editorial, “It is infuriating to see political gain put above the safety and security of our brave warriors and our long-term strategic goals. Loose lips sink ships.” Wow – what these dirty politicians won’t do.
anti-Gov. Walker protests. When this instructor encouraged his students to protest against a governor whom their parents support, he was using intimidation to bully young children. Fortunately, most teachers use better judgment. When a student is met with derision in health class after claiming an intention to practice abstinence, that is bullying. The instructor who condones the mockery and/or participates becomes a bully. Children who pressure their peers to abandon their values with the false statement that “everybody does it” are bullying others. When students are required to view Al Gore’s mistake-ridden movie “Inconvenient Truth” but are not required to view “Cool It,” the school system bullies those students while ignoring its responsibility to teach critical thinking skills and research techniques. Limiting resource materials is a form of bullying. When movies or school textbooks ignore the truth that America is a republic
and falsely state that America is a democracy, and when school systems bully our children into accepting falsehoods as truth, legislators and parents must take a stand. To control bullying in schools, policies must include well-defined examples of bullying, well-defined consequences for bullying and clear standards applicable to adults as well as to students. Once that has been accomplished, legislators must examine curriculum core standards to ascertain that standards are fact-based and scientifically sound, that data is replicable, and that the content encour-
ages respect for traditions that have served the American people well for over 200 years. Those traditions protect our right to practice any religion or lifestyle and must protect those who value a republic, who choose abstinence and who wish to evaluate all sides of any given issue.
RICE LAKE — Lakeview Medical Center reported the theft of a laptop computer on Jan. 4 that contained patient data on individuals who are part of the hospital’s home-care and hospice programs. Although the data was contained in an encrypted document, the hospital was notifying all potentially affected people by letter and offering them a year of identity theft protection. The data included names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, home addresses, account numbers, Medicare ID numbers, diagnosis and other personal information. The hospital’s privacy officer said LMC officials do not believe there is reason for concern, because the laptop is password protected, and the files in question were protected by separate encryption, which makes the files unreadable to an unauthorized person. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• CHIPPEWA COUNTY — Michael C.

State governments have wasted millions of dollars creating and implementing anti-bullying curriculums destined for failure because institutionally accepted bullying occurs in most political, social and educational institutions. To limit bullying, legislation must include anti-bullying standards for role models and leadership of the very institutions required to implement the anti-bullying curriculums. School libraries set the intellectual and social tone of the school. Librarians include literature that recognizes contributions made to America by every race, religion, culture and lifestyle choice. Current-events materials may include everything from Mother Jones to Newsweek, but one typically will not see a conservative magazine such as The Weekly Standard or National Review.

St. Francis students to perform “Into the Woods Junior”
SPOONER — St. Francis de Sales Middle School will perform the Broadway musical “Into the Woods Junior” at St. Francis de Sales Church in Spooner. The three performances are Thursday, March 1, through Saturday, March 3. The Thursday evening event starts at 6 p.m. with a dinner and a show. The Friday evening performance begins at 7 p.m., and the Saturday matinee starts at 2 p.m. “Into the Woods Junior,” the 1988 Tony Award winner for both score and book of a musical, is a brilliantly conceived exploration of happily ever after. The show has an enchanting and moving score by Stephen Sondheim. It opened on Broadway on Nov. 5, 1987, under the direction of the book’s author, James Lapine. A magical and imaginative adventure, “Into the Woods Junior” is told through Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm’s classic fairy
tales. As the intricate plot unfolds, the childless Baker and his Wife, cursed by the Wicked Witch, go off into the woods in hopes of ridding themselves of the witch’s evil influence. There, they encounter Cinderella, her Prince, Little Red Riding Hood, the Wolf, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel and other fairy tale characters who are attempting to realize wishes of their own. With tenderness and laughter, Sonheim and Lapine take the audience on a journey into the woods as they face the moral consequences of their actions and the power of tolerance, community and shared sacrifice. For ticket information and reservations, please call the St. Francis de Sales School office at 715-635-2774 during school hours. – submitted

Take me for instance, oh, Lacey’s my name, I’m pretty attractive for an older dame. None of the silliness that you will get, From crazy young kittens that just make you fret. I like to relax, find my spot in the sun, But don’t get me wrong, I still like to have fun. A little catnip put on my favorite toy, Is something that both you and I will enjoy. I’ll make you smile as you watch me play, But unlike a kitten I won’t play all day. I am well-behaved you’ll appreciate that. Kittens are not, that’s why you want a cat. Cats for adoption: 2-year-old neutered orange/white shorthair; 7-month-old longhair calico; 4-year-old neutered black/silver shorthair tabby; 5month-old female white/black shorthair tiger; 6year-old spayed/declawed orange/white shorthair; 3-month-old gray/white male shorthair; 4-monthold male black/white medium-hair; 5-month-old black/white male shorthair, 6-1/2-year-old spayed shorthair tiger; 5-year-old spayed all-white shorthair; 1-1/2-year-old neutered orange/white longhair; 1-year-old spayed buff shorthair tabby; 2-year-old neutered gray/white shorthair with three legs; 9-year-old spayed/declawed dilute calico Maine coon and a 10-week-old female tiger kitten.

Driver’s license and ID card receipts are accepted photo ID at the polls
MADISON — People who have a receipt for a Wisconsin driver’s license or ID card and have not yet received their license or ID card in the mail should know that those receipts can be used as photo identification at the polls. Receipts serve as driver’s licenses and ID cards until the actual cards arrive in the mail, usually less than two weeks. This is important to know because the state Legislature recently passed a law that requires people to present a photo ID when voting, and there continues to be some confusion about what is needed when casting a ballot. Wisconsin state driver’s licenses and ID cards are probably the most common forms of photo ID that can be used to vote, but many forms are acceptable, including license and ID card receipts. Since April 1, 2007, nearly 10 percent of Wisconsin adults have received DMV driver’s license or ID card receipts to use until their actual product is mailed to them from a central production facility. For more than four years, every adult obtaining an original Wisconsin driver’s license or ID product has received such a receipt, and for the last year, that receipt has included a photo. During this time, there have been no reports of
fraud or abuse associated with the receipts. Later this year, this practice will be expanded so that all Wisconsin driver’s license or ID customers will receive a receipt at a DMV office and then receive their products through the mail. More than 25 states already use the same practice of issuing centrally and providing a temporary receipt to customers. With this system, security checks are done prior to issuing the product, further reducing the opportunity for identity theft. DMV is unaware of any security issues associated with the use of receipts. These receipts are honored by TSA for boarding commercial airliners, and they are legally recognized documents under Wisconsin law for purposes of identification, including voting. For a complete list of acceptable forms of photo ID for voting, visit www.bringit.wisconsin.gov. For people who don’t have an acceptable photo ID for voting and want one, DMV can issue a photo ID free of charge if they meet the requirements. For more information, visit www.wisconsindmv.gov. — from WisDOT

Washburn County receives 100-percent compliance
SUPERIOR — In the Wisconsin WINS, a sciencebased program designed to decrease youth access to tobacco products, Washburn County scored 100-percent compliance with no sales to minors. Wisconsin WINS was launched in the spring of 2002 as part of a comprehensive approach to preventing youth access and ultimately reducing use of tobacco by youth. The program has been highly successful in reducing sales to minors from 33.7 percent in 2001 to 5.7 percent statewide in 2009. With February being celebrated as Heart Health Month, and tobacco use still the number one cause of preventable death and disease in the state, the American Lung Association in Wisconsin, as part of the Northwest Wisconsin Multijurisdictional Coalition, is happy to report the results of 282 tobacco compliance checks that took place in the region during 2011.
A
In addition to Washburn County, Ashland, Bayfield and Iron counties all scored 100-percent compliance with no sales to minors. Douglas had 2.2 percent and Sawyer had 6.9 percent of sales noncompliant. The good news is that the vast majority of vendors comply with the law. Congratulations to the hundreds of clerks that said “no” when asked to sell tobacco to minors, the youth, parents and local law enforcement for supporting this important program. For more information about the program, including education materials for vendors, please contact the American Lung Association in Wisconsin, P.O.

Princess Diana
s the award-winning exhibition Diana, A Celebration, was open at the Mall of America®, Milt and I spent about an hour on Tuesday, Feb. 14, walking through the display. Chronicling the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales, the exhibit is on loan from Althorp Estate, the Spencer family’s 500year-old ancestral home in England. Arriving before the exhibit opened that day, we waited for a short time and visited with those around us. I noticed that once the group of us walked into the exhibit, we were all quiet. No one spoke. The first gallery we visited shared family heirlooms and personal mementos of Lady Diana Spencer. We saw footage of home movies and photos of her growing-up years. Continuing on, we were able to see Diana’s elaborate wedding dress and watch the video of her wedding to Prince Charles. I was among the 1 billion people that watched their wedding on TV in 1981. Although Diana described her wedding day as the happiest day of her life, those of us standing there that day were solemn. I’m guessing because we knew that the princess didn’t have a happy ever after. As we stepped into the room watching footage of her funeral, I felt emotional. Here
the impact of two sons losing their precious mum and a country losing their beloved princess could be felt. The first version of Charles Spencer’s eulogy of his sister hangs on the wall, showing the paragraphs that were edited out of the version that he spoke. Moving along into the other galleries, which totaled nine, we were able to view 28 of her designer dresses and view items representing her charity work. At first I questioned why the exhibit went from viewing the princess’s wedding dress to the coverage of her funeral and then finishing up with her charity work. Now I feel that it’s because her charity work continues. The hope may be that we will remember her for her work rather than her tragic death. The following are quotes from Princess Diana: “I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.” “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

Bosch Packaging Technology pursues Tier 2 of Wisconsin’s Green Tier
NEW RICHMOND — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources seeks public input on a letter of intent for Bosch Packaging Technology Inc. to participate in Tier 2 of the state’s Green Tier program. Both the company’s New Richmond and Shell Lake facilities, which combined employ 260 people, are included in the application. Bosch Packaging Technology Inc. serves a wide variety of industries with its packaging equipment. Bosch’s packaging machines can be found in many markets, including candy and confection, bakery, refrigerated and frozen food, pharmaceutical, medical, personal care, pet food, lawn and garden chemicals and more. Green Tier recognizes and rewards companies who are committed to going above and beyond compliance to achieve superior environmental performance. In Tier 2 of the program, participants negotiate customized contracts with DNR. These contracts enable significant environmental improvements and can allow for certain types of regulatory flexibility if requested. Bosch is not asking for flexibility at this time. Bosch has incorporated an Environmental Management System, and the company received ISO 14001 cer-
tification in 2011. This plan-do-check-act tool helps a company understand its environmental impacts and set benchmarks to measure future environmental performance. “We’ve realized significant efforts in reducing waste, energy and water usage through this effort,” said Bosch’s Jeff Keyes. “Bosch is committed to continuing these efforts as well as maintaining its EMS, performing compliance audits, training employees and doing integral environmental planning with research and development.” The public has an opportunity to help develop the Tier 2 contract by contacting DNR with comments through March 13. Comments can include requests to participate in negotiations or requests for a public informational meeting. More information on Bosch can be found at www.boschpackaging.com/bosch packagingworld/eng/index.asp. Comments or questions may be directed to Mark Harings, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources: 1300 W.

Deer hunter forums to be held around the state and on the Internet
MADISON — The deer hunting seasons might still be months away, but the Department of Natural Resources is already gearing up with a series of deer hunter forums in March. Anyone interested in the opportunity to discuss local deer management issues, hunting seasons and any other deer topic is encouraged to attend. These meetings are not to be confused with those being offered by James Kroll, also known as Dr. Deer, as part of the Deer Trustee’s Deer Management Review that is currently under way. Those meetings will take place in April at six locations yet to be announced. Wisconsin has long been known to have one of the most publicly driven deer management programs in the country. And in recent years, thousands of volunteers have gotten involved in deer research projects providing data to estimate the size of the herd and sharing personal observations about hunting success, season structure and the herd itself. The March deer hunter forums will put the public in direct contact with the local biologist responsible for managing the local deer herd and are intended to both
share information about deer management and gather information from hunters about deer where they live, hunt or farm. The format of meetings will vary, but in many cases the local wildlife biologist will provide a brief presentation followed by a question-and-answer period. Some meetings may also have an open-house format, allowing attendees to stop in anytime during the scheduled time. Everyone interested is encouraged to attend the meetings that cover deer management in areas where they hunt or live, but they are welcome to attend any of the meetings. A meeting will be held Monday, March 26, for Washburn and eastern Burnett counties, DMUs 8, 9, 11, 12, 15 and 17, in the Spooner High School choir room at 6:30 p.m. From main doors, go right, past auditorium. The school is located at 801 CTH A, Spooner. For more information, contact Nancy Christel, 715-6354091. If unable to attend a live forum, for the first time this year the public will be able to get unit-specific information and contribute feedback through the DNR Web site. Check the DNR home page for updates. — from

LifeCircle Birth Center midwives ring in the New Year with Shell Lake’s first baby of 2012
by Terry Bell Wisconsin Public Radio GREEN BAY - The Wisconsin high school basketball tournaments are one step away from being moved from Madison to Green Bay. But no final decision has been made. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association maintains it has not decided to move the tournament finals, which have long called Madison home. This week, the association's Board of Control voted to accept a recommendation to move to Green Bay, but WIAA Director Dave Anderson will try one last time to work out scheduling conflicts with college hockey at the Kohl Center for the next two years.
WIAA spokesman Todd Clark says if the Kohl Center isn't available, the Resch Center is a better facility than the UW Field House and the Alliant Energy Center Coliseum, "We believe, based on our membership feedback, that for the state basketball tournaments, given the like size of the facilities, that's what we're always trying to accomplish, is get our tournaments in the best facilities available." For the boys tournament, the finals have been held in Madison for 90 years, the exception being 1936 in Wisconsin Rapids. Every girls tournament has been held in Madison since its inception in 1976.

SHELL LAKE — Debra and Ben Hershey and their daughter, Sherra, of Hayward welcomed the water birth of their second child and sister. A baby girl was born into the loving arms of her parents on Jan. 29. Jenna Shayne Hershey weighed 9 pounds, 7 ounces, and measured 22-1/2 inches long. The city of Shell Lake is celebrating Jenna’s birthday as the first New Year’s baby for 2012 with a basket of gifts from business members of the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce. Included in the gift basket was a handmade baby blanket made by Audrey Cusick with New Year’s Baby 2012 embroidered on it.
The Hersheys chose to have their baby with the midwives of LifeCircle Birth and Wellness Center of Shell Lake. They enjoyed hour-long prenatal visits, shared decision making in their care, a nontraditional medical environment, the choice to birth in water, no IVs during labor and skin-to-skin contact for immediate postpartum bonding without separation of mother and baby. To contact a midwife and to tour the birth center call 715-3383499. — from LifeCircle
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The sentence hearing for Richard A. Phernetton, 77, Montesano, Wash., formerly of Spooner, originally scheduled for Feb. 17, has been postponed to March 23. On Nov. 17, 2011, Phernetton, was found guilty of first-degree sexual assault of a child in a jury trial at the Washburn County Courthouse with victims present to tell about the abuse from up to 10 years previous. On Oct. 29, 2001, a complaint and warrant were filed
against Phernetton, who was not taken into custody until July 22, 2009. He was given a cash bond amount of $25,000 with the orders for no contact with the alleged victims, no contact with minor children under 18 years, no alcohol consumption and to not leave the state without prior permission from the court. After two years, and 2-1/2 days of jury trial, a guilty verdict was handed down. Judge Kenneth Kutz from Burnett County is presiding over the case.
Finance committee approves $123 million in cuts
by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - The Legislature's finance committee has approved $123 million in budget lapses to state agencies with more than a third hitting the University of Wisconsin System. The cuts were approved as part of the state budget Gov. Scott Walker signed last summer, but the Walker administration didn't specify which agencies would get hit hardest until later. The UW will bear the brunt of these cuts, taking a $46 million lapse. Milwaukee Assembly Democrat Jon Richards said it would hurt the UW campus in his city, where they're researching water technology, "The cuts that we're making today will result in $6.2 million in cuts to UW-Milwaukee alone. And this will definitely slow
down this effort to generate jobs in these great fields that hold tremendous promise for our region." But West Bend Republican Pat Strachota said the university lapses were driven by a decision not to further cut spending on other programs like public school aid, tech schools and prisons, "I think the UW System is valued by all of us and we understand the merits that they bring to the state of Wisconsin. And this is not something that any of us wanted to do, but it's just a matter of having to do because we kept those other high priorities." The lapses come on top of an earlier $250 million cut to the UW. Even with the lapses, Wisconsin's two-year budget remains $143 million in the hole.

A fitting tribute
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE — It’s so seldom that the stars align and something good comes out of it, but it did happened this month when a small and cedar-strip decorative canoe was offered to a Relay for Life team as a raffle item for their fundraising efforts that will culminate this June. The main characters in this quixotic triangle are Dennis Williams, cedarstrip canoe aficionado, and Debbie Glessing, Washburn County jailer/ dispatcher. She was the love of his life who brought much happiness to him during the past several years, and he was soon becoming the other half of who she was. And of course, the Relay was the third part in this poignant play. The original plan was that Williams was going to make one of his decorative canoes so he could give it to Glessing for her birthday, the date would be Feb. 24. Tragically, Glessing died of Hodgkin’s lymphoma on Jan. 2, leaving a large emotional vacuum in so many lives, especially Williams’. Now his dilemma was what to do with this beautiful finished prodMelissa Williams holds the beautiful handuct.

The week started out with an 83-53 loss to Frederic on Tuesday, Feb. 14. With the season coming to an end, each win is important in determining the teams place on the playoff bracket.

Shell Lake came out cold in the second quarter, scoring only six points to Clayton’s 16, that was the determining factor in the game. Shell Lake outscored Clayton in the second half 28-21, but it was too little too late. High scorer for Shell Lake was Pokorny with 13 points followed by Jen and Hannah Cassel with 12 points each.
With only three games left in the regular season, each game becomes important going into the playoffs. Shell Lake will face Clear Lake for the second time on Thursday, Feb. 23, in a home game. Shell Lake took the first game 47-42 back in December. Clear Lake has an 8-11 record, but they are 5-5 in conference play. Both teams are evenly matched so it should be a good game.

Boys lose to Frederic
by Larry Samson FREDERIC — The Shell Lake boys basketball team lost 62-41 to Frederic in a nonconference game on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at Frederic. Shell Lake got into foul trouble in the first half as the officials called 30 fouls on both teams. With a small bench, Shell Lake had two players foul out before the end of the game. The game was a precursor to the playoffs because these two teams will meet up again in the first game of the playoffs on Tuesday, Feb. 28. Frederic will host the game.
Shell Lake will play their final game of the regular season on Friday, Feb. 24, when they go up against Clear Lake in their second game of the season. Back in mid-December Shell Lake beat Clear Lake 45-37. They are 0-10 in conference play and 1-19 overall. The regional playoffs start Tuesday, Feb. 28. The top-seeded team in the northern bracket is Siren, followed by Drummond. Siren has an 11-0 conference record, 21-0 overall, and they should finish the regular season undefeated. Drummond is 13-2 in the West Indian-
head Conference and 18-3 overall. Their three losses came against Siren, Solon
Springs and Washburn.

Schmidt selected to all-star football team
OSHKOSH — Shell Lake senior Caleb Schmidt was recently selected to be a member of this year’s North Division 4-7 All-Star Football Team for 2012. Schmidt is the son of Kelly and Tim Schmidt. The game will be played at Titan Stadium in Oshkosh at noon on Saturday, July 14. Tickets will be available and can be purchased from coach Mark Lehnherr when made available later this spring. Schmidt was a unanimous first-team selection as a defensive end this past season. His totals include 36 solo tackles with 32 assists; 10 quarterback sacks and 14 tackles for a loss. He had three forced fumbles and two recovered fumbles. Not only were those stats good enough to earn him allconference, but to additionally earn all-region recognition. Schmidt was chosen by the North’s coaching staff to fill a roster spot on the all-state team this summer. Garrett Knoop, Class of 2005, and Luke Gronning, Class of 2009, are the only other Shell Lake football players chosen for this outstanding achievement. — submitted

Ansel Adams: A Life Dedicated to Light
by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake Before there was color dominating the photographic scene, in the dark ages of picture taking, when all images were black and white, our world was not as bland as some might think. From the beginning, it was the understanding of light that made the great strides in this new phenomenon called photography possible. Among the early leaders in the field, one man stood out from all the others as the master of the photographic image. His name was Ansel Adams. Often introduced before speaking to a group of students as “the great photographer, Ansel Adams,” he was much more than a great photographer. He was a mountain of a photographer. Like the granite monolith Half Dome and the towering El Capitan, of Yosemite National Park, Adams towered over the entire photographic world. He took stunning photographs of natural beauty. He was a student of light. And he taught his students what he learned of it. He taught plainly, simply and methodically the values he learned and tried to inspire them to grasp ideas that can, through practice and craftsmanship, make exciting photos possible. Adams was born in 1902 in San Francisco. He always had an endearing love for California. He was privately educated and chose music, the piano, as his vocation. He was interested in photography, but it was not until he became influenced by the work of Paul Strand, and had his first portfolio published, “Parmellian Prints of the High Sierras,” and become well known, that he found his true calling. Adams joined other West Coast photographers in Group f.64, who emphasized promoting photography as an art in its own right. The group used the aperture f.64, which is the way to gain depth of field and image clarity. This is a favorite for taking landscapes and really great pictures of nature. Adams was on the cutting edge, working to increase public acceptance of photography, teaching students to use
photography to express their feelings in their interpretation of subjects. In 1946, Adams established the California Institute of Fine Arts, in San Francisco. It was the first academic department to teach photography as a profession. He believed photography was not a way to imitate painting, but should be used to express the photographer’s emotional reaction to the subject and express intense feelings. He felt this was different from painting and unique to photography. The Encyclopedia Britannica called Adams “one of the outstanding technicians in the history of photography.” A critic, Robert Hughes wrote, “Adam’s entire career represented a sustained, meticulous effort to order the jumble of the natural world, its colors, its erratic tones and shifting values, into a precisely tuned structure of differing grays.” Adams admitted that sometimes when he saw a fine print finished nearing perfection, he heard music of Bach or Chopin. He worked in color, photographed still lifes and portraits. He devised a zone system to aid in calculating exposure for a range of tones. He wrote instruction manuals and books for his students. As a leading conservationist, he was a director of the Sierra Club. Yet when he was asked about whether or not his photos were an environmental statement, he said they were not. He chose his subjects for their beauty and emotional qualities. He said, “My photographs that are considered to relate to these issues are conceived for their intrinsic aesthetic and emotional qualities, whatever these may be ... Intellectual and critical pre-evaluation of work is not helpful to creativity; regulating perception into functional requirements is likewise restrictive.” These are the values he taught his students. He knew many of the scenes he captured on film would change with or without the American people being concerned about them. Nature is as we know, very natural and subject to change. Adams passed away in 1984. His legacy is in the treasure he left us, his photographs, in his books and teachings, anthologies and portfolios, and will continue to instruct students of photography for years to come. He made black and white amazingly clear.
Heart Lake news
Presidents Day was on Monday, and we are supposed to honor two great presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I think we all agree of what we hear about them, they were two good men. How about this weather? It was predicted Monday night we would get ice and snow, so drive carefully when you hear the warnings. Last Tuesday, we were treated to three plays by the third grade of Shell Lake Elementary School. They were good! Talked slow and loud, and it was very interesting. Last week, Lillian Ullom stopped at Glenview to visit the Nestes and Helen V. Pederson. She brought us a treat of banana bread. Louise Schade was here over the weekend to visit her Mortensen relatives. Lillian and Frank joined Louise at Florence Carlson’s for supper at Spooner Sunday evening. On Friday evening, about 10 girls met at the Lakeview Bar and Grill after the
basketball game. They were members of the basketball team in the late 1970s and did a lot of reminiscing. John and Brady Marschall took in the fishing contest at Clam Falls on Saturday. Mary and her daughter, Sara, spent the day shopping. That to me sounds better than fishing. On Friday evening, Arlys Santiago, Kathy and Harley Bergeron, Harley’s brother Jim, and Meagon met at Pine Ridge for a fish fry. Arlys and a girlfriend, Dory Washburn, had lunch together Sunday noon at Lakeview Bar and Grill. On Sunday afternoon, Mary Jane (Baker) Dunn visited with Helen V. Pederson at Glenview. We were grade school classmates at Roosevelt Consolidated School in Timberland in the early 1930s. You can be sure there was a lot of visiting and remembering of the former classmates and very good teachers. Never look down on someone unless you’re helping them up. Have a good week!
Ann Johnson and Karen Mangelsen visited Verna and Everett Lindstrom Tuesday afternoon. Hank and Karen Mangelsen were Friday afternoon visitors of Donna and Gerry Hines. Don Israel came home Saturday after having shoulder surgery in Eau Claire Friday. He is wished a speedy recovery.
A number of family members gathered at the home of Mary Dunn Saturday to help Mary celebrate her birthday. They spent the afternoon cutting some wood and then they all went out to eat. Sunday visitors of Maynard and Ronda Mangelsen were Daniel, Daya, and Jordan, Lawrence and Karen and Hank Mangelsen.

Barronett by Judy Pieper
It’s hard to believe that Lent is here already. If you are looking around for a church where you will receive a warm welcome, I can strongly recommend Barronett Lutheran. We have Lenten services every Wednesday at 7 p.m. The women of the church furnish lunches before or after the service. If you would like to know more about our church, please call. There are a lot of members who would be glad to tell you all about our church family. Do you remember the story about Clarence Aarestad butchering a mountain lion? Well I heard from the guy who brought the lion to Clarence. First of all, he wanted to be sure that everyone knew that he didn’t shoot it himself. I assured him that the story stated that he brought it home from a trip west, but that it didn’t say anything about how he obtained the carcass. He then went on to tell me that mountain lion tastes really good. I’ll take his word for it. He said that it’s very dry and very white, kind of like dry pork. Wouldn’t it be easier to eat pork? He went on to explain that the mountain men used to do a lot of trapping, mostly for beaver, but, because there was a real shortage of nice restaurants around at that time, they would eat anything they caught in a trap. He said that they usually ate only the hindquarters, and once in a while a cougar was a nice change of pace for them. Besides that, for every cougar they ate there was one less to raid their traps or get into other shenanigans that usually ended up being not in the best interest of the trappers. He also said that in Africa the natives still eat the African lion and say it’s very good meat. Again, I’d have to take someone else’s word for it. Sounds like eating a dog or cat to me. He also said that he is a little better known around here for his love of pies, but that he’s a lot like the mountain men. He’ll eat just about anything anyone wants to cook for him. OK. You probably know who I’m talking about here, so I’m going to share another story with you. Years before he met his current girlfriend, Terry was divorced and living alone. Well, like a lot of single men, he became somewhat of a hoarder. Never threw anything away. So one day as he walked out to the end of his driveway, he found a pair of perfectly good women’s undies laying on the ground. Being the jokester that he is, he picked them up and planned to play a trick on someone at a later date. He got to the house, put them in a drawer, and promptly forgot about them. Fast-for-
ward a couple of years. He now has a lovely girlfriend, and one day she was being a little nosy and looked in the drawer. Oops, he forgot to use them to play a trick on someone else, and she wasn’t buying his story about finding them. Then, when he came out of work one evening, he found that someone had thrown a pair of women’s panties in the bed of his pickup. He grabbed them, put them in his coat pocket, and, once again, promptly forgot about them. Again fastforward a year or so. This guy never cleans out his jacket pockets. He and his girlfriend and some guys were standing around at a cowboy shoot and it was a little chilly out. The girlfriend asked if she could wear his jacket, and being the gentleman he is, he promptly gave it to her. She put her hands in the pockets to get them warm and — yep, you guessed it, pulled out the panties. I bet I don’t have to tell you that she, once again, did not believe where they came from. OK, once more. Do you remember when he stopped at a yard sale and bought all kinds of women’s underwear to decorate Tom and Margie’s house when they were on vacation? Well, once again he had the panties in his jacket pocket, and missed one when he was decorating. You’d think he would learn, wouldn’t you? Nope! Tom, Margie, Terry and his girlfriend were on the way to the Twin Cities and, once again, she asked if she could wear his coat, put her hands in the pockets, and pulled out the offending undergarment that he had forgotten in the pocket. Holy cow! It’s a wonder she even talks to him anymore. Hopefully she knows him well enough to know that he’s one of the true blue types and every word he told her was true. Actually, though, even his daughter, Tracy, told him that if she were the girlfriend she’d have a hard time believing it. Three words of advice Terry — flowers, chocolates and jewelry. I’d like to thank my friend Bill Evans for sending hearing aids to Elmer Anderson for the Shell Lake Lions Club. Bill lives south of Madison, but gets our local newspaper so that he can keep an eye on his friends up here. He sent me an e-mail and asked whom he could send the hearing aids to, and I gave him Elmer’s address. Thanks for your generosity Bill. I’m so glad you keep in touch. I’m running out of space. Hope you are having a lovely week, and remember, if you have any advice for Terry, give him a call. See you next time.

Many waters, many stories, a special place
Sharing the story of the St. Croix region with the nation
by Gregg Westigard Leader staff writer ST.CROIX REGION - Before the Europeans, before the first people, the Dakota and later the Ojibwe, even before the glaciers, the St. Croix River watershed was formed.

We had a skiff of snow five nights in a row. It continued to stay mild all week, so the snow didn’t last. County snowmobile trails remain closed, yet to open so far this winter in our region. Ice fishing has been productive. I see there are always fishermen out on Bear. Ice must be good because they drive out there. Marilyn, Renee, Brian and Jessica Zimmerman joined Nicole Stodola for her 25th birthday at Drags Pizza in Rice Lake with her family celebrating the occasion Thursday night. Belated wishes, Nicole. Josh, Michelle Alders and boys from Hudson had dinner with the Zimmermans on Sunday. Visitors at Anton and Gloria Frey’s this week were Greg and Cheri Lyga and children on Saturday. Sons Pat and Pete visited, and Sunday Pete and son Ben and also grandson Stevie were there. Son Tony took them to Eau Claire on Friday for her medical appointment.
All the stories were recorded, with significant places marked on maps of the watershed at a workshop in Balsam Lake Friday, Feb. 11.
Jeff Hutton, Amarillo, Texas, flew up Thursday to stay until Sunday at the Greg Krantzs. Thursday he attended the Shell Lake youth wrestling tournament in Cumberland to watch son Chane who took a second in his division, and the Shell Lake School team also took second. Reports there were 300 wrestlers. He took in the Cabaret Saturday in Shell Lake where his daughter, Lainy, with her fifth-grade class served treats and beverages. Sunday, Ericka and friend Lance took the kids, Lainy and Chane, fishing, and Sue Krantz visited her folks, Hugh and Sue Smith, in Shell Lake and found them doing OK. Marlene Hansen, Krista and son Jaydon had dinner with Mar’s niece, Kayla Prohobinik in Rice Lake on Sunday, enjoying a meal and visiting. Elfreda West and daughter Janet Donetell took in the comedy at the Northern Star Dinner Theatre in Rice Lake and
report it was very good and the food was also. Elfreda got to Hunt Hill’s soup on Tuesday and that was really nice. Saturday, Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht and kids went to the Science Museum in Eau Claire and later met with folks Russ and Nancy spending the night in Eau Claire. Sunday, the VanMeters met at Old Country Buffet in Eau Claire to celebrate Ralph’s 80th birthday. All five girls and families were there along with Bob and Carol Nesbit and Julie and John Murphy from Eau Claire. They had a fun time. Congrats to Ralph and many more nice celebrations like that. I was visiting with Lorraine Alger of Shell Lake and her daughters, Kati and Mary, and learned that Kati and husband Dave Anderson have now lived in Sarona for the past couple of months in the Bert Richter house that’s next to the Methodist church.

People’s stories Much of the Saturday gathering was a sharing of what the St. Croix region means to us. These sharings will be gathered over the coming months as more discovery workshops are held. The collection of stories will be used to explain why the St. Croix River Watershed is a National Heritage Area. The stories were wide ranging and varied. The list includes our natural sites left by the glaciers, the moraines, kettles and eskers along the Ice Age Trail. Nature has been preserved with swans, eagles,
People divided i n t o working circles to s h a r e their stories of St. the Croix region. cranes, orchids in the forests and prairies in the area. There was mention of the peoples who make the land, and the heritage of the Ojibwe and the Danes was mentioned. Recent history includes some of the earliest farm cooperatives in the state and the birth of Readers Digest magazine at a cabin on Wapogasset Lake. The 1930s brought socialism to the area, with the Progressive and Socialist Parties finishing one and two in one legislative election. There is the story of arts, music and local museums. The business story in the area has moved from fur to fir to farming to manufacturing. One unique business is the Paulson Brothers cannon factory in Clear Lake. But always there are the stories of the water, the lakes and rivers at the heart of the area.
Next There will be a series of 11 Heritage Initiative workshops in the counties included in the St. Croix watershed, to be held over the coming year. (The dates for the Burnett and Washburn workshops have not been set yet.) Eventually, all the stories of the St. Croix region will be assembled in a proposal to gain recognition as a National Heritage Area, one of many from coast to coast. The St. Croix Heritage Initiative has been led by the St. Croix Valley Foundation in Hudson. Much more information can be found on the Web site stcroixheritage.org. Everyone can go to that site and add their own stories on why the St. Croix region is a special place.

Heather’s funeral was held Monday, Feb. 13. She was the fiancée of Joe Smith and she has some children. Heather was 36 and she died from cancer. Bob and Lynn Smith felt so bad for her and Joe as she would have been a daughter-in-law. Does anyone have spring fever yet? Yes, in about a month it will be spring. Yippy, yahoo! Congratulations to Mike and Nancy Murray as they celebrate their special day, Feb. 20. Happy birthday to Shannon Chemphey as she celebrates her special day with lots more to come on Feb. 22. Does anyone need a little cheering up? Well, a man and woman were married for 40 years and went out to dinner. While waiting to order they saw a lamp on their table. They decided to see if they rubbed the lamp if a genie would come out. After rubbing the lamp out popped a genie! The genie said, “I will grant each of you a wish!” The husband let his wife go first and she wished to be in a log cabin with her husband. The genie looked at the husband and said, “Now I will grant you your wish.” The husband then replied, “I would like to be with a woman 30 years younger.” And poof, the man was 92 years old. Thursday found my special niece, Nancy Michalek, coming from Mukwonago to spend the long weekend with me. Saturday found my daughter, Paula Cramer, coming to enjoy the weekend. We all had such a great time talking. Nancy brought food, Paula brought food, and I cooked spaghetti. It was such a joy to have Nancy and Paula come. Diane Hulleman tells us she drove down to Chad and Colleen Jensen’s, picking up Izzy and taking her to Diane’s daughter, Jackie’s.

her parents. News from the Fjelstad Palace finds Tuesday Bob and Kris were in Rice Lake and celebrated Valentine’s Day at the China Buffet. Wednesday, the ladies from Lakeview UMC enjoyed a potluck dinner at the church and played the dice game. Also on Wednesday, Bob was on Bashaw Lake finding the fishing very poor, but the company was great with Dennis Zwart, Bob Lawrence and Mark Knoop. Thursday, Cheri and Emily Dorweiler visited Bob and Kris. Friday, Bob and Kris enjoyed a walleye dinner at Robert’s Roadhouse, and said it was delicious. Jim Toll took his ice-fishing shack off Bashaw on Sunday. I guess with the ice so uncertain it’s better off. Sunday there was a head-on crash not far from Tracks. Sandy said it looked bad. I heard a helicopter go over headin’ for Spooner, probably taking someone to a bigger hospital. The Bernard Reddings went to River Falls for a gathering of former workers who Sandy had worked with a number of years ago, meeting at West Wind. Later they went to Tim and Chris Redding’s. A very happy anniversary to Tim and Chris Redding as they celebrate together with many more to them. Butch VanSelus took his honey out to breakfast at Nick’s then to Rice Lake and back to Foxxy’s for supper to celebrate Loretta’s birthday, which is Feb. 14. Hope you had fun Loretta! Last Saturday night, I was sleepin’ and all of sudden I heard an owl, which was hootin’ and a hollerin’. It woke me up and I was listening to it, and all of a sudden, Rory jumped out of his bed and just barked and growled. I opened the bedroom door for Rory so he could find it, but he came back in the bedroom and jumped on the bed and kept yappin’ until the owl must have flown from our pine trees. It was comical to see Rory try to protect me as he sure is on top of everything. It’s his growl. It’s a very happy birthday to Katie Ann Crosby on her special day, Feb. 17. Hope you had a wonderful day, Katie. The Cecil Meltons met 12 other family members at the Riverstreet Restaurant on Saturday morning for their get-together. Robin was home from the Twin Cities and Vicki Trott and Robin enjoyed playing cards at Cecil’s on Sunday. Turner Moe caught an 8-pound northern recently and was very happy over it. He also caught a 4-pound northern at the Clam Falls fishing contest on Saturday, Feb. 18, but didn’t get any prizes. Carl and Betty Meister spent last weekend in Black River Falls with Mark and Beth Hanson, Ryan and Alyssa. Also Jarrett and Bev Cassellilus and son Erik spent time with the Hansons and Carl and Betty. Most of them enjoyed seeing Ryan play basketball. Carl and Betty stayed overnight with their son-in-law

wo men stopped at a roadside café. Everything was dirty, and they were about to leave when the waitress asked, “What will you have?” “A cup of coffee,” said one. “I’ll have coffee too,” added the other, “and be sure to bring it in a clean cup.” In a few minutes the waitress returned with dirty hands and asked, “Which one wanted the clean cup?” Though we can’t live by feelings, it does feel good to be clean and to live with clean people in clean places. While man can cleanse the outside, only God can cleanse the heart. But inwardly and outwardly you and I must be clean. For the Bible says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Visit us at: TheSower.com.

PAGE 20 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - FEBRUARY 22, 2012
by Gilman Halsted Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - A Dane County judge says Gov. Walker doesn’t need the two-week extension he asked for, to search for invalid signatures on recall petitions. Judge Richard Niess denied the governor the extension his lawyers had asked for. Volunteers reviewing the signatures have vetted 300,000 so far and claim to have found a 15- to 20-percent error rate. Walker’s lawyers said they needed more time to look for duplicate signatures. But Niess says that error rate spread over a million signatures would still leave the recall supporters with enough to certify an election, “We are, when we get to a million, gonna have a boatload of extra signatures that we don’t need. There has to be some sort of demonstration that additional time is actually going to be helpful to determine whether or not there are going to be sufficient number of signatures. “ The Government Accountability Board has until March 19 to finish its review of the signatures. But GAB Director Kevin Kennedy says he won’t know until March 12 whether or not the agency will meet that deadline.

surmise that you would sign that is to keep information private. To not disclose information that you didn’t want your other colleagues on the other side of the aisle and your constituents to know about.” Though Republican Rep. Dick Spanbauer, of Oshkosh, told Democrats they were twisting the facts, “I did not take a secret oath. A secret oath is a lot different than signing a confidential agreement.” The documents released largely detailed the political strategy of selling the maps but also discussed issues related to redrawing a Hispanic legislative district. Judges will hear arguments in the federal redistricting lawsuit next week.
by Patty Murray Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - There are signs that charitable giving is on the rise in Wisconsin. In northeastern Wisconsin, the Green Bay Community Foundation reports gifts are up by 50 percent compared to 2008, the date the recession is generally thought to have begun. Also, area chapters of the United Way are reporting increased donations. In Appleton, gifts are up by 10 percent this year totaling $7 million. The Milwaukee arm of the charity exceeded its goal by $2 million. And in Brown County, including the Green Bay area, donations are up by $50,000 compared to last year. Adam Hardy is a spokesperson for the charity in Brown County, “And not being an economist I can’t claim one way or another what’s really happening, we’re a very giving com-
munity here in Brown County.” The United Way raised $3.7 million in the Green Bay area this year. Hardy says that’s more than $100,000 more than it raised two years ago, during the depths of the recession. Part of that may be attributable to a car dealership that donated a sedan that was given to a random donor. Still, Hardy says 14,000 people gave an average donation of $25 apiece, “We’re seeing kind of a warming of the economy overall, and we’re seeing people overall who are giving, and now they’re able to give, and they are, so overall, yes we’re seeing a definite overall increase in giving.” Statewide numbers from the United Way are not yet available. The group’s Wisconsin board president says some local campaigns have seen “modest increases” in giving, except in areas that have seen companies close and mass layoffs.

Shell Lake third-graders present Presidents Day play
Ghosts from the past returned to see how they are remembered by children in a school play. Jacob Latz is George Washington, Jameson Stone is Abraham Lincoln and Brooke Lehnherr is a student.
Logan Bush, standing by the American flag, recites the story of Lincoln and Washington as part of the Presidents Day ceremony held Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Shell Lake School.
It was a tough winter at Valley Forge, which Christopher Melton, Judah Balser, Zala Sturtze, Kaylee Larue, Anna Klassa and Cody Joe Swan will attest to. — Photos by Larry Samson RIGHT: In the third-grade play “A Birthday for George Washington,” George Washington, played by Sam Beecroft, barks out orders to his lieutenant played by Morgan Wendel.

Terry Johnson
Terry Johnson left Shell Lake in 1969 as a senior and graduated from Ashland. After a couple of years of school, he moved to the Twin Cities and started working for a phone company, where he stayed for 25 years. He took an early out and moved onto a boat, where he traveled from the Twin Cities to Fort Myers Beach, Fla. “After living and traveling on a boat for three and a half years, we settled in Fort Myers, and I started working in marinas, dry stacking boats and managing the yard, and managed a four-star restaurant.” Johnson then settled in on delivering new boats. Terry Johnson “Six years ago we had a granddaughter, Ella, and we wanted to be part of her growing up. Not just seeing them a week or two a year,” he said. “That’s when we moved back to Shell Lake. I bought Thru the Woods Café. It has been nice reacquainting with old friends and my mother lives in Brule, the grandkids live in Duluth, so we get to see all on a regular basis.” He is pleased with the opportunity owning a restaurant gives him to interact with the community. “My restaurant has an ice-cream window, and one of the most rewarding things is I get to give high school students their first job and teach them how to be responsible workers.”
