Student’s gun turns out to be toy

District turns matter over to juvenile authorities

S o lo and Ensemble See page 11

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE - A gun shown to other students at the Shell Lake High School last Friday afternoon, Jan. 28, turned out to be a toy, but disciplinary action will still take place, according to authorities.

The school district has referred the incident to the appropriate juvenile authorities.

Don Peterson, high school principal, called the Shell Lake Police Department after a student reported to a teacher that someone had a gun. The student was shown the gun, and then told the teacher of the incident.

Officers from both the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department and the Shell Lake Police Department responded to the 3-12 school. Some students thought the youth was being arrested, but apparently he was simply placed against the wall with his hands held behind his back. Several students said they were scared and thought perhaps it was something to do with recent lockdowns the school has had to keep drugs out of the school.

Officers then discovered the gun was in fact a toy and released the student to the school district for disciplinary action.

Some students were upset, believing the student had a real firearm. Some did not hear it was not a real gun until they returned back to school on Monday.

It was a nice day on the ice, though the fishing was slow. Only five fish were caught and registered during the Shell Lake Fire Department’s second-annual ice-fishing contest. For some, the worst day on the lake is better than the best day at work. More photos on page 2. — Photo by Larry Samson

Allied Waste/BFI to remove soil from new location

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY - County zoning committee members approved a conditional use permit for Allied Waste/BFI last week, allowing the landfill operators to dig fine soil from 10 acres of land the company owns across the road from its operation.

The approval came at a public hearing, Tuesday, Jan. 25.

Several concerned citizens came to voice their concerns at the hearing.

James Swanson, who lives half a mile from the landfill, asked about the benefits of approving the conditional use permit to Washburn County or Sarona.

The lawyer representing Allied Waste/BFI, Joshua Bobich of Nilan Johnson Lewis P.A., addressed Swanson’s inquiry by stating, “It is not in violation of any Washburn County ordinances.

Allied Waste has been doing this for years. It is only going to the zoning committee for a permit because now it is (involving) a new location.”

It was explained at the hearing that no waste will be dumped on this land. The fine soil they are getting off the land is used to cap the cells on the landfill. The fine soil on the property they own at the landfill has already been used.

Sarona resident Chuck Hoffman told

the committee that the land in question will be of “no value to no one” after the fine soil has been removed. He pointed out the fact that this was done in other locations and no vegetation grows at all in these places. Hoffman said if the fine soil is removed, you cannot use that land

at a later time to build on if it is not compacted.

BFI engineer consultant Nick Sturzl reassured those present that the ground would be built back up and compacted with the bulldozers as they are moving the dry fill back onto the ground.

BFI will be responsible to make sure the elevation is back to the original conditions.

Other provisions were made to the approval. They included having a 25-foot buffer area around the trees on the property, limiting the activity to 50 consecutive workdays, with notification to zoning office when it begins, including written verification from town about closure of road and operational hours being between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The last provision was to assure that standard practices for environment protection be used.

This includes dust control and the use a steel plate for road protection.

Nell Lee, of the zoning committee, inquired on the storm water permit that will also have to be issued by the DNR. Allied Waste will have an annual review by the DNR to assure that they are following the rules and regulations. The DNR will be watching for environmental effects and take appropriate action.

Wisconsin brothers decorated for combat in Afghanistan

by U.S. Army Sgt. Scott Davis, Regional Command-East Public Affairs, Special to the Register BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Two brothers, from Seymour, serve together in the U.S. Army and are among the latest to be decorated for combat actions in Afghanistan.

One received a Silver Star Medal in December for actions during a five-day firefight in Kunar Province. The other received a Purple Heart in January after a firefight at Forward Operating Base Andar. Both are members of the Fort Campbell, Ky., 101st Airborne Division.

U.S. Army Cpl. Joshua Busch, 3rd platoon, Company D, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, was on a mission in November when his platoon was attacked by insurgents.

“We got hit pretty hard,” said Josh, the younger brother. “By the end of the first night, I was the highest-ranking soldier in the platoon as a corporal, so I took charge as the platoon sergeant.”

By the end of the fight, his platoon of 22 was down to nine uninjured soldiers.

He was decorated Dec. 7 for his heroic actions during that battle.

U.S. Army Sgt. Jason Busch, Company A, 1st Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, was awarded for his actions about a month later.

“The enemy was hiding in a basement in a qalat. Two Afghan National Policemen were going to go in, and I was to follow,” Jason said. “They kicked down the door, and as soon as they started to enter they both got shot and fell down. I looked in and saw the enemy about 10 feet away. We both started firing at each other at the same time. I got hit as I was getting down into a prone position.”

Jason kept firing even after he was shot.

“Right away I started coughing up blood and could barely breathe. I shouted for a medic, but they couldn’t

help me since the insurgent was in the room in front of me. When I realized they couldn’t get to me, I somehow stood up, stumbled over to the medic and collapsed. Doc, slowing my breathing, saved my life. I was medically evacuated about 10 to 15 minutes later.”

The soldiers are proud of each other and what they had to go through.

“When my brother got decorated I felt a lot of pride for him, but I also felt a lot of sadness for what he had to go through to get that medal,” said Jason. “I wish that I could have been there instead.”

Though both were supposed to get out of the Army, they each decided to stay with their platoon for this deployment.

Josh extended and Jason re-enlisted for two more years.

“I actually re-enlisted for four more years less than a week before I got shot,” Jason said. “I’m going to stay in and possibly pursue a career as a flight warrant officer.”

Josh said he and his brother have always been close.

“My brother joined when I was in high school,” he said. “I think he joined because he knew I was going to and didn’t want me to go through it alone.”

When Josh got to basic training, the drill sergeants asked if anyone had siblings in the Army. Josh said yes and was given the chance to be stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky., with his brother, though they are in different brigades.

Josh will soon finish his deployment, while Jason is currently recovering in the United States.

“It’s got to be tough on our parents having two kids deployed at the same time,” Josh said. “Our mom is a worrier, and she tries to find out anything she can about what we are doing out here. We try not to tell them too much about what goes on out here to keep them from worrying more.”

Law protects children by requiring proper safety restraints in vehicles

FEBRUARY 2, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3

MADISON — Children outgrow their clothes, toys and favorite shows amazingly fast. But they never outgrow the need to be protected while riding in a motor vehicle. Traffic crashes are the number one killer of children ages 3 to 14, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration.

To help protect children, state law specifies the following four-step progression of child safety restraints. Generally, children must be restrained in a child safety seat until they reach age 4 and in a booster seat until age 8.

• A child who is less than 1 year old or

who weighs less than 20 pounds must be properly restrained in a rear-facing child safety seat in the backseat of the vehicle if the vehicle is equipped with a back seat.

• A child who is at least 1 year old and weighs at least 20 pounds but is less than 4 years old or weighs less than 40 pounds must be properly restrained in a forward-facing child safety seat in the backseat of the vehicle if the vehicle is equipped with a backseat.

• A child who is at least 4 years old but less than 8 years old, weighs at least 40 pounds but not more than 80 pounds,

MADISON – Gov. Scott Walker announced this week that the Capitol dome will be lit in green and gold for the week leading up to the Super Bowl on Feb. 6.

“While there are always going to be policy and political differences at the Capitol, we can all agree that we want the Packers to bring the Lombardi Trophy home to Wisconsin,” Walker said. “I want to thank Sens. Risser and Hansen and the state Capitol and Executive Residence Board for their work on this bipartisan effort.” - from the office of Gov. Walker ••• SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Public Library has declared February Fine Amnesty Month. The month will give people an opportunity to return overdue materials without getting late fees.

Library director Beth Carlson said, “If they return their materials during February, they won’t get a late fee.” Carlson said lost and damaged items will still have to be paid for. Amnesty month only applies to materials returned late.

Amnesty month began Feb. 1 and ends Feb. 28. This gives patrons an opportunity to clear their record and check more items out and use the Internet. February is Library Lovers Month. Call the library at 715468-2074 if you have questions. — from SLPL •••

by Jessica Beecroft BURNETT/WASHBURN COUNTIES Monday, Jan. 31, the Recycling Control Commission met at the Northwest Regional Planning Commission office in Spooner and approved the Burnett/Washburn Cooperative Agreement and elected officers.

The cooperative agreement allows the RCC to obtain waste management personnel and administrative services. Entering into this agreement represents concerns and interests the RCC, on behalf of its member counties and their citizens, in “providing for the effective and conscientious waste management and education for their citizenry.”

The election for chair and vice chair ended up returning incumbents Carsten “Ro” Endresen, chair, and Dan Hubin, vice chair. There was a secret ballot cast for the chair, and the vote was Endresen with four votes and Hubin with three.

Other business included disposal of electronics, appliances, batteries and tires. The recycling center in Spooner does accept computers for a fee, however the commission is looking into getting a third party to come to each county to collect such items for free to encourage the citizens to bring all items they can no longer toss in the trash.

“Time and time again, on survey after survey, employers tell us that one of the most important elements when they consider expanding and investing in a state is what the litigation climate is.”

Walker says it still gives people who are harmed access to court. But Mike End, the president of Wisconsin Association of Justice, says the new law does nothing to create jobs. End says it does protect corporate nursing homes that provide substandard care.

“Parents, grandparents, child-care providers and others who transport children can protect their cherished passengers by using the proper child safety restraints,” says Captain Jeff Frenette of the Wisconsin State Patrol Northwest Region. “Adults also should check to ensure that each child safety seat and booster seat is properly installed in their vehicle to maximize protection in case of a crash.” — from Wisconsin State Patrol

Walker signs off on legislation

MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker has signed into law a sweeping plan that will make it harder for victims of injuries or their families to sue the businesses that hurt them.

The plan would cap punitive damages and cap damages against nursing homes among several other restrictions. It would also prevent a hospital’s internal investigations from being used in a lawsuit.

• A child who is age 8 or older or weighs more than 80 pounds or is taller than 57 inches must be properly restrained by a safety belt.

It is recommended that all children should ride in the backseat until they reach age 12.

The total cost of a safety restraint violation involving a child under the age of 4 is $175.30, and the cost for a violation involving a child from age 4 to 8 is $150.10. These costs increase for subse-

Tax reciprocity

I can tell that tax-filing season has arrived when tax documents start filling my mailbox. Unfortunately, this tax season will bring a surprise to some Wisconsin mailboxes.

For the first time in over 40 years, those of you who live in Wisconsin and work in Minnesota will have to file a tax return in both states.

Before 2009, people who lived Rep. in Wisconsin and worked in MinNick nesota would only Milroy have to file one tax return. For example, a Wisconsin resident, let’s call him Joe, who worked in Duluth, Minn., would have his payroll taxes deducted at Wisconsin tax rates and would file a Wisconsin income tax return. Technically, however, some of Joe’s taxes would be owed to Minnesota because that’s where he earned the

New chair for zoning committee

money. This situation was repeated for thousands of people who crossed the Wisconsin-Minnesota border for work. After everyone’s taxes had been filed, Wisconsin and Minnesota would sort out where the tax revenue was supposed to go, and one state, usually Wisconsin, would write the other a check to balance things out.

Unfortunately, in 2009 Gov. Pawlenty of Minnesota abruptly cancelled the longstanding tax reciprocity agreement between Wisconsin and Minnesota that allowed people who cross state lines for work to file just one tax return. As a result, Wisconsin residents who work in Minnesota will have to file tax returns in both states for tax year 2010. Filing taxes is a time-consuming task, and there is no good reason that residents should have to do it twice. This creates a burden on hardworking families and costs unnecessary time, money and energy.

We can do better. We can streamline government, make tax filing more efficient, and save people time and money by reinstating a tax reciprocity agreement between Wisconsin and Minnesota. I have spoken with Gov. Walker and encouraged him to negotiate a new tax reciprocity arrangement. This issue has bipartisan support in both states, and both Gov. Day-

ton and Gov. Walker have indicated their willingness to work on a new agreement.

Their leadership will be needed to jumpstart negotiations. and I encourage them to make tax reciprocity a high priority.

I have also met with Secretary Huebsch of the Department of Administration to urge him to move discussions forward.

His department oversees the state budget and would be responsible, along with Walker, for paying the $58 million Wisconsin owes to the state of Minnesota and for developing a new reciprocity agreement.

Fortunately, he is very familiar with this issue, and our meeting left me optimistic that the Walker administration will be working hard to ease the burden on Wisconsin taxpayers by reinstating tax reciprocity.

Finally, I am pleased that tax reciprocity is a Superior Days issue and look forward to talking with my constituents about how we move toward a new arrangement that benefits both Wisconsin and Minnesota. It is my hope that we can reach an agreement that will allow us to serve our citizens and businesses better by reinstating tax reciprocity. We owe it to the hardworking people of both states to make sure their government works for them.

Where to write

Letters to the editor

Fair and accurate facts, please

I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in this paper’s policy of printing letters to the editor, even if inaccurate or unfair.

But it becomes very discouraging when the same writer continues to vent his facts and opinions every few weeks about important social policies, the latest, the Jan. 19 “Alice” writing. I only ask the writer to read again Pauline Lawrence’s touching story of the last days of her dear husband’s life and the

counsel his doctor gave him about choices he could make for end of life. It is exactly that kind of counsel that was in the health-care-reform bill passed by Congress, namely to fund a doctor’s time to assure that doctors give terminally ill patients crucial information about the range of choices one has for end-of-life care. This important revision has essentially now been dropped because of unfounded and misrepresented interpretations, repeated again

and again, by those with no agenda but to make political points and kill any meaningful reform.

The same misrepresentation applies to statements about Social Security. Please at least be fair and have accurate facts if you must write. Thanks.

STATEWIDE - Wisconsin’s open enrollment application window for the 2011-12 school year is set for Feb. 7 through 25. The three-week period gives parents an opportunity to send their children to any public school district in the state.

Traditionally, children in Wisconsin are assigned to school districts based on the

location of their parents’ home. The open enrollment period is the only tuition-free opportunity for most parents to apply for their children to attend public school in a school district other than the one in which they live.

Parents are urged to apply online directly at http://dpi.wi.gov/sms/ psctoc.html. The online application will

be available from midnight Feb. 7 until 4 p.m. on Feb. 25.

Paper applications can be obtained from the DPI or any public school district. Paper application forms must be received by the nonresident school district no earlier than Feb. 7 and no later than 4 p.m. on Feb. 25. - with information from DPI

MADISON –“Republicans have zero respect for Wisconsin voters,” said state Sen. Bob Jauch, D- Poplar, in response to a Republican effort to fast-track legislation that would establish one of the most restrictive voter identification requirements in the country. During a daylong hearing in the state Capitol dozens of clerks and individual citizens voiced concerns about the harmful effects the bill would have on the electoral process.

“The Republicans insistence in requiring a state-issued identification card to vote, will inconvenience and potentially disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of legal voters who have done absolutely nothing wrong or illegal in the past,” said Jauch. “Contrary to the mythological world they live in, this bill is simply unnecessary. Wisconsin has a long and proud history of clean elections, and there simply is no evidence to the contrary.”

“There is zero evidence of fraudulent voting in northern Wisconsin and only microscopic examples statewide,” Jauch said. He pointed to a 2008 election investigation conducted by Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen which produced a total of 11 potential voter fraud cases, out of a total of over 3 mil-

lion votes cast in Wisconsin. Of those 11, five have actually been charged with voter fraud.

The northern lawmaker’s office contacted every county clerk in the 25th Senate District and asked for examples of voter fraud and found only one case, a 91-year-old woman who voted in person after she forgot that she had sent her absentee ballot in. “There is integrity in our election process. The only fraud is the GOP’s political effort to jam this bill down the throats of Wisconsin voters in time for the April elections and deny legal voters from exercising their right to vote.”

“The Republicans have deliberately misled the public into believing that their goal is to improve the integrity of our elections when the true motive is to suppress legitimate voter participation.

There are 175,000 citizens over the age of 65 who do not have driver’s licenses, and 70 percent of them are women. Most of the elderly have been responsible voters for over half a century, but now they are being told they must get a ride at least 50 miles round-trip to obtain an identification card to enable them to continue their constitutional right to vote,” Jauch claimed. “It is an outrageous and burdensome requirement that I would expect in Moscow but not in Wisconsin,” he said.

Jauch charged the Republicans as

being “clueless about the adverse impact on rural senior citizens who won’t have access to state DMV offices.” “The lawmakers pushing these restrictive voting requirements live in urban areas where DMV offices may be more accessible, so they seem to ignore the reality that limited access to DMV services will make it virtually impossible for many rural senior citizens to obtain the identification card.” he said. “The Spooner DMV office is scheduled to be open only one day between now and the April election. No one in their right mind would seriously apply this new requirement if they understood that the consequence would be to deny these legal residents the opportunity to comply with voter ID requirements,” he added.

“The legislation addresses a phony problem that doesn’t exist, and instead of improving the integrity of our voting process, the legislation will make it more difficult for citizens to have free and fair access to cast their ballot. Improving voter participation and strengthening the electoral process ought to be every public official’s goal but disenfranchising voters is unconscionable in our democratic society,” he concluded. - from the office of Sen.

Several parents were also upset and wanted to hear what the school is doing to keep this from happening again.

The school issued a statement to parents on Monday, Jan. 31, stating: “With recent events in another Wisconsin community and other tragedies across the nation, it is important for parents and community members to know that district staff and administration take all situations and incidents of this nature very seriously. Safety of children at school is always the first and most important priority.”

Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden released a statement about the events, which included the following: “This unfortunate, unintentional and poor decision caused significant concern for the school district and parents. This incident does not reach the level of criminal activity. However, the matter has been turned over to the appropriate juvenile authority.

“I compliment the school administration for taking the appropriate action when confronted with the unknown and potential threat to students and staff.

Their actions were appropriate and necessary in this incident.”

Coblentz benefit well attended

SPOONER — There are many reasons why people choose to live and build their lives in their small Wisconsin community, and many of them were evident Sunday, Jan. 30, at the Eldon Coblentz cancer benefit. The people of the community showed their support in many ways as more than 300 attended the spaghetti dinner at Spooner American Legion, some not knowing Coblentz personally, but all came to wish him well and to let him know they cared for him and his family.

Enough funds were raised through donations of individuals and business to carry the family a few months, and enough outpouring of love of the people of this community to last a lifetime.

On a whim, Donna Salquist, a benefit organizer, filled out the four-page application to receive a donation from the Green Bay Packers, last week. The process usually takes six to eight weeks to complete, but because the benefit was put together in three short weeks, that time was not available. However, Salquist received a phone call from Green Bay the next morning, her application being approved, they would overnight the donation.

On Friday at 5:30 p.m., a special 2010 autographed football arrived bearing the signatures of the whole Super Bowlbound team including the coaches and managers.

At the end of the evening, it was determined that Jennifer Botty and her two small girls had the highest bid in the silent auction to receive the ball. Trying to keep it a surprise, she plans to give the football to her Packer-fan husband, Dan, on his birthday this week just in time for the Super Bowl on Sunday.

For those who missed the chance to bid, the Green Bay Packers have also donated a similar ball for the benefit for Darla Barrett-Lucas to be held at Tony’s Riverside on Saturday, Feb. 5.

Super Bowl Sunday cross-country ski day and lessons

SHELL LAKE — The average American consumes 1,300 calories while watching the Super Bowl and since we are all above average in Packerland, that is a lot of calories.

Held at the Red Barn Ski Trails, two miles east of Shell Lake, the club welcomes all families to ski on the trails free of charge. Rental equipment, in both skating and classic skis, is also available for those without equipment. A freewill donation for use of the skis is appreciated.

Valentines for troops SPOONER — The Northwoods Support Team enlisted the help of the Spooner and Shell Lake Girl Scouts, the United Methodist Sunday school children and the youth group to make valentines for soldiers.

Because the local 724 Battalion is preparing to come back home, it is requested not to mail packages to them at this time. Northwoods Support Team has been given the name of a group, The Renegade Company, which is serving in Afghanistan and has lost several of their soldiers in recent combat.

Hearing that it is so cold in Afghanistan, Northwoods Support Team thought a warm fuzzy was in order. Along with handmade valentines, they are also sending candy to each of the troops in that unit. In addition to The Renegade Company, the support team also received the name of an officer who is in charge of an all-women’s group of Marines and will be sending Valentine’s greetings to them as well.

The Northwoods Support Team in Spooner is an ongoing project. They will be keeping in contact with the national organization and their officers to see what the needs are and work toward filling the needs. The group will be sewing neck coolers again this spring and summer to help provide some comfort from home in the heat of the summer over in Afghanistan. If any area seamstress would like to help make neck coolers, patterns are available.

If you have an idea for a fundraiser to help Darlene Heller, shown with members of the Spooner Girl Scouts, was invited to meet with the girls at the raise money for this project, please let the com- Spooner Elementary School during lunch to tell about the troops and answer questions. The girls presented mittee know. You can contact Lynda Mar- Heller with valentines to be sent to troops. — Photo submitted quardt at 715-635-6237 or Darlene Heller at 715-635-2930. — from Northwoods Support Team

Caller ID

Remember back when the telephone in your home was a party line? I remember being in the middle of a phone conversation when someone else would pick up the phone to make a call or otherwise just to listen in. By the background noises that came over the line, one could usually tell which neighbor was listening in.

I don’t remember the days of listening to the rings to see if it was a long or a short ring or perhaps a series of long and short rings before answering the phone.

Some of you may remember what your ring was and Suzanne perhaps those of Johnson your neighbors.

You maybe didn’t know who was calling, but you knew who was getting a call.

Today, there are so many options for

BEYOND the Office DOOR

telecommunications. With a landline phone a patron can decide if they want call waiting, voicemail and caller ID to name a few. After our phone bills, due to having cell phones, voicemail, Internet, TV and caller ID, became higher than our house payment used to be, Milt and I decided we didn’t need to have caller ID. After all, even though we may have known who was calling, we would still answer the phone, because we may have been curious as to why the caller was calling.

Although we don’t have caller ID at home or at work, people just assume everyone has it. One evening at home we had a call and I didn’t recognize the voice of a friend I hadn’t spoken to on the phone for a long time. He thought I was teasing him when I talked very vaguely because he assumed I had read his name on my phone before picking up. It can be hard to return calls when people don’t identify themselves and just leave a message and no phone number.

Listening to a listener-sponsored radio station one morning, the announcer said, “If you see our name and number on your caller ID, you will know we are just calling to say thanks!”

Sorry, that doesn’t work for all of us.

Blue Hills Chiropractic focuses on women and children's health

CUMBERLAND — Dr. Lauryn Brunclik D.C., owner of the new Blue Hills Chiropractic, recently opened a clinic in Cumberland that focuses on the needs of women and children. She has also done some work with LifeCircle Wellness Center in Shell Lake.

“I decided to focus on women and children because they both have very different phases throughout their life that require different approaches for treatment. For women, chiropractic can offer help with issues ranging from infertility, menstrual headaches, pregnancy pain, to menopausal symptoms. Children face a myriad of issues that can be helped with chiropractic: colic, ear infections, ADHD, general misalignment from falls and so much more,” Brunclik said when asked about her emphasis.

Brunclik is certified in Webster technique, a technique used for treating fetal malpositioning during pregnancy, relieving painful discomfort for mothers, and often allowing breech babies to turn prior to labor and delivery. Brunclik is not exclusive to women and children and does see patients of all ages and genders.

Livestock quiz bowl contest results

POLK COUNTY – The eighth livestock quiz bowl contest was held on Saturday, Jan. 22, at the University of Wisconsin – Madison Animal Sciences Building. Livestock Bowl is a quiz competition where all the questions are about beef, sheep, swine and meat goat topics and students use a buzzer to get a chance to answer the questions. Teams compete in a double-elimination format by giving oral answers to questions posed by a judge. Each match has both an individual and toss-up question round. A group discussion round is included in the senior division to simulate the national competition.

The senior team represents Wisconsin at the National 4H Quiz Bowl contest at AKSARBEN in Omaha, Neb., in September. Winner of the senior division (14 years of age or older) was the Grant County No. 1 team. Members included Shea Esser, Tyler Bode, Amanda Patterson and Brian Patterson, coached by Alicia Prill-Adams and Dennis Patterson. Grant County No. 2 was in second place.

Members included Andrea Patterson, Jake Walz, Cordt Esser and Charlie Connelly, coached by Alicia PrillAdams and Dennis Patterson.

Local propane company to have new owner in 2011

BARRON — The new year will bring a change in ownership of Country Comfort, a limited liability company, which provides propane service to customers in Northwest Wisconsin, and under the business name of Selectus Energy in southeast Minnesota.

The new sole owner will be Country Pride Cooperative, of Almena, an original partner of Country Comfort since it was formed in 2000. Country Pride came to an agreement with its partners, Barron Electric Cooperative, of Barron, and Tri-County Electric Cooperative, of Rushford, Minn., to buy out their remaining shares on Jan. 1. The business name will remain Country Comfort with headquarters in Almena.

During the last 10 years, Country Comfort has successfully grown its customer base and assets, delivering over 8 million gallons of propane to 12,000 consumers in over 16 counties.

In 2009, Country Comfort received the CHS Energy Summit Propane Award for service excellence, use of technology for delivery efficiency, while achieving company profitability.

Country Pride is the new merged entity of Shell Lake Cooperative and Country Pride Cooperative in Almena. Both cooperatives have been in the propane business for a number of years and will continue to provide the top-quality service Country Comfort customers have come to expect.

“The decision to sell our share of Country Comfort was a difficult one for Barron Electric Cooperative’s Board of Directors,” said Dallas Sloan, general manager. He continued, “When Barron Electric decided to invest in the propane business, selling fuel cells looked like a strong possibility, however that did not materialized. With Country Pride’s offer to purchase our share of Country Comfort, the board felt it was time to focus on our core business of providing electric service.” — from Barron Electric

Student Tools for Emergency Planning will be offered at more than 100 Wisconsin schools this spring. This program is designed to teach students how to prepare for various emergencies including tornadoes, flooding and storms, and encourages them to share the information with their families and to develop their own family plan.

“The students involved in the STEP program will gain some very important emer-

by Larry Samson GRANTBURG — The Grantsburg Pirates beat the Shell Lake girls basketball team 53-22 in a nonconference game held Friday, Jan. 28.

Shell Lake traveled the icy roads and braved the falling temperature only to go cold on the court. Shell Lake played the Pirates close in the first quarter trailing 12-6, falling behind by a 15-point lead by the end of the first half. The Shell Lake defense sent Haley Larson to the freethrow line eight times in the first half, where she was 7 for 8. By the end of the game, the 5-foot, 3-inch senior guard had 21 points for the game. The Lakers

She doesn’t do windows

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - It was probably when Arlys Santiago was living in Hawaii that she got the bug. No, not that bug, the entrepreneurial one.

“One of the things my husband and I did when we lived on the big island was to open up a mobile jewelry kiosk, out of which we sold lots of pretty pieces, especially to the tourists. I think it was then that I realized that I liked having my own business and the ability to talk to people on a one-to-one basis.”

Santiago was born in the same rural Shell Lake neighborhood she lives in now. After graduating from Shell Lake High School and living various places, she, like so many other natives, moved back. She’s been here 11 years, and she’s brought all her life experiences with her. She’s also carved a niche job for herself doing what she loves to do most: working with both animals and people. She’s a pet nanny.

Just like a people nanny, she’ll live-in if needed. That means that if you’re going away for any length of time, she’ll move into your spare bedroom and not only take care of Fluffy or Ralph, she’ll also keep your sidewalk and in front of your garage shoveled in the winter, make sure the heat’s still working and the house is safe when you come home.

“I either bring my own food for the duration, or sometimes it’s provided for me, with an open cupboard and fridge invitation.”

She doesn’t spend the entire day in your home or doesn’t need to sleep over if that’s not the plan. She continues with her regular lifestyle, but she returns often to her client’s home to give the animals all the love and care their owners do.

Arlys Santiago, the Pet Nanny, ranks high with her own cat, Lucy. – Photo by Diane Dryden “I don’t even mind sleeping with various cats. I have one of my own named Lucy, so I’m used to a furry side pillow breathing in my face.”

So far she limits her practice to cats, dogs and birds, and her services vary with each job from dropping in to walk and feed the dog, to staying during the day, or 24 hours a day if needed. She acts as either a live-in or a drop-in.

“You might say I came into the business sideways, because I had watched the pets of my friends for several years, and then another friend of mine made up some business cards for me that said Pet Nanny as kind of a lark, and I decided, why not develop it as a business?”

Her best references are word of mouth, and her good reputation precedes her.

Now, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll remember she has a cat of her own, so who takes care of Lucy when she’s camping out in someone else’s house for a couple of weeks?

“I rent out a room in my large house, and my renter loves my cat, so she takes care of Lucy while I take care of someone else’s pets.”

She’s not afraid of litter boxes, pet medications or frequent dog walks and always likes to meet her clients and their owners before saying yes to any job. Even though she shovels in the winter, she doesn’t do any kind of housework, including windows, but obviously she cleans up after herself and her little furry charges.

As time goes by, she’s looking to expand her business by offering a certain amount of farm chore work, feeding primarily, but for now, if you’re not fond of kenneling your pets while you play, call the Pet Nanny. Her rates are decidedly low and her contact information is Arlys Santiago, 715-468-4121.

Assessing a recession

by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake It’s not easy to understand financial terms for ordinary people, but the news is encouraging, with some financial experts saying the current recession is nearly over. Many people are out of work, and everything costs more, but there is no more recession. Maybe it was a depression. Who can you believe? A recession is a period of reduced economic activity. We are climbing out like we were in a ditch, and now we are on our way back to the top. Maybe.

For me, I can remember the way things were when I was growing up, and I can recall things that people told me, about what they call the Great Depression. It was nothing at all like the way things are today.

One thing different is that people were more resourceful and independent in those days. There were government programs, but the biggest factor was that folks were not restricted from helping themselves, like they are today. I know there were people who lived in the rural areas who were without electricity and indoor plumbing, and they probably suffered the most. I grew up in town, and we had these basics. Everyone seemed to be just as hard up as the next person.

In my family, we did a lot of walking. We didn’t have a car. Gasoline was 6 gallons for a dollar, the sign said, when I walked past a corner gas station. It was a service station. You walked to a store to buy things you needed. Then you carried it home in a paper shopping bag. If you had one you saved it and used it often.

The products were not packaged like they are today.

If you bought meat, the butcher wrapped it in white paper and tied it with a string that he took from a roll on his counter. People wrapped things in newspaper.

FEBRUARY 2, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 19

Every housewife saved string to reuse.

You couldn’t get fresh fruit unless it was in season, except bananas, which were usually taken from a huge bunch hanging in the store window. Canned things, well, you had those things from your garden you put up in jars.

Almost everything required cooking. Now we see all these processed foods, quick cooking and saving us time. We cooked with a coal range or a kerosene stove in summer. We had no microwave oven. Now we have meals ready in minutes that used to take hours to prepare. We can choose from fresh vegetables, which we considered had to be cooked well. Now we eat fresh raw vegetables.

How did people survive if they had no wage earner?

They lived simply. They might have chickens, a big garden, credit at the local store, and many children worked to help out their family. My mother baked bread a couple of times a week and cooked simple food. We bought skim milk from a nearby dairy for 5 cents a gallon. Like others, we had fish, and sometimes wild things like ducks, geese, groundhogs, squirrels and rabbits. Neighbors might help out and share.

Clothing was quite expensive, if you bought readymade. My mother sewed, and we always had nice clothes. I even had patent-leather dress shoes for church on Sundays. My dad showed me how to shine them with a little bit of lard. He repaired things. He had a last to fix shoes for us kids. Everyone recycled, but we didn’t call it that. People didn’t go for fashion like they do today. They went for durability and considered warmth important. Now we have lightweight winter clothes, but they didn’t have that advantage in those days. Wool

coats helped us keep warm, and we stayed by the fire more often, I suppose.

Children walked to school. Our grade school was only about six blocks from our house, but many had to walk a lot farther. We brought our lunch in a paper bag.

Some had lunch boxes or lard pails. There might be sandwiches made from homemade bread with some kind of filling. We had jelly, of course, but some kids had lard sandwiches. Sometimes you had an apple or a cookie. Egg sandwiches were good.

As for government services, I think they helped with WPA work for men without jobs. Then they had a relief office where you could get surplus commodities for families with hungry children. There was a certain amount of disdain for folks who took the hand-up the programs offered. We received things like oatmeal and peanut butter, and I know we felt guilty about it. The hard times continued until the start of World War II. By that time my dad had a better job, and things went easier for our family.

Nowadays, our lives are so much easier than in those old days. The government probably restricts us a little too much and is making us more dependent on their services.

In the old days, we had three-cent stamps and mail delivery on Saturdays, and twice a day just before the Christmas holidays. We didn’t have e-mail, but we could write letters and mail them, and they would probably get to their destination in about the same time as it takes today.

I know folks are out of work, and many of us have suffered losses. Maybe they are right to tell us the recession is over. Let’s hope so.

It’s been rather quiet around Dewey Country since it’s been so cold. Yes, and people are staying home more with that high price of gas. Isn’t it nice to just snuggle down in our homes keeping so nice and warm, watch TV, read a book or get caught up on your letters?

Happy birthday wishes go out to Meghan Stone on Feb. 3 as she enjoys her special day. Have a wonderful day Meghan.

A very happy birthday to my brother, Carl Meister, on Feb. 4. I hope you have a wonderful day, Carl.

A very happy birthday to a little guy, Isaac Crosby, Feb. 4, when he turns 4 years old. Have a fun day, Isaac.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Kyle Beaufeaux as he enjoys his special day, Feb. 4. Have a great day, Kyle.

A very happy anniversary to Curt and Paige Skluzacek as they celebrate 22 years together Feb. 4. Many more to this great couple.

Happy birthday to a special niece, Trudy Meister, on her special day, Feb. 9. Have a great day, Trudy.

Farmers are starting to think of spring with crops.

And with the diesel so high it makes them scratch their heads and wonder where the end is. Recently I got a letter from the Almena Co-op to lock in diesel at $3.15 per gallon due to farmers locking in the price. Yah really have to get down and get those figures to cash flow no matter what you need or sell. Things are really getting on a fast track and going up and up.

Is everyone gearing up for that Super Bowl comin’ Sunday? Yes, it’s going to be a very exciting game as it’s been awhile since the Packers have gotten this far.

So get out and cheer for those Packers.

I got a nice short letter this past week that brought tears to my eyes. Yes, this short letter was from a famous writer compared to me. It was from Bernice Abrahamzon who has worked at the Inter-County Leader for 41 years as a writer. She tells me to continue writing as Bernice and three sons enjoy my column, Dewey Country. Also we have both lost our honey, Bernice’s when he was 65 years old and mine recently. This very dear lady just had her birthday on Jan. 21 when she turned 90 years young. May you continue to care and help people giving them lots of laughs through your column, which I have read and enjoyed for years.

Happy birthday, Bernice!

This last week I was making cheesy cauliflower soup and our little dog, Rory, kept barking up at me. Well when he barks I know he wants something and this time it was cauliflower. So I broke off a small chunk and gave it to him. He gobbled it down and barked again, so he got some more. I also put in a little broccoli and of course, he barked, wanting some so he got some.

Whatever I am eating or making, he has to have some.

He also likes dill pickles, peas, corn, cabbage, meats, no potatoes, and sweets, to name a few. As yet, I haven’t found a thing he doesn’t like except his dog food.

Spoiled dog? Yah I think so.

See in a paper we get that this year our federal and state taxes aren’t due until April 18 rather than 15.

Joanne and son Mike Schade came Saturday to see mom and grandma, Catherine Schumaker, at Terraceview in Shell Lake. Later they visited Carl and Betty Meister. Get-well wishes to Betty who has this terrible

cold making the rounds.

With corn prices so high, I’m just wondering how many people are feeding the deer this winter. Sure don’t see many deer around in our neck of the woods.

Table Talk: What is one food that’s so gross just to look at it, and you just won’t even try to taste it? Mine is a soup my mother used to make called sweet sour soup. Yuck! And to this day I don’t like sweet sour foods.

Sunday was family prayer Sunday at Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s with a number of their family getting together to visit and have spaghetti supper, compliments of Evelyn. Homer and Stella Melton, Fridley, Minn., came to spend time with Cecil and Evelyn and all went out to eat. Friday evening, Cecil and Evelyn enjoyed dinner with friends.

Sunday found Noel and Patty Beaufeaux and sons Mitch and Kyle at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s for dinner and visiting. Sandy says they hadn’t been home since Christmas. They also visited Noel’s mom, Ethel Beaufeaux, at Terraceview before going home.

News from the Fjelstad Palace finds the Queen Kris with a bad cold and coughing. We hope you’re better soon, Kris. Monday, Bob visited Marv and Gladys Knoop and later with Cherie Dorweiler. Bob made a trip out on Bashaw Lake to visit Bob Lawrence. Hear the fish just aren’t biting now on Bashaw Lake.

Wednesday, Kris was in Rice Lake joining up with friends Dixie Andrea, Beth Crosby, and Judy Leonard for lunch. Later Gary Peterson visited Bob and Kris.

Friday Cherie Dorweiler visited Bob and Kris. In the evening, Bob and Kris enjoyed supper at Tracks. Later Bob visited Gary and Sue Peterson. Saturday Kris visited Sue Peterson. Greg and Emily Dorweiler visited Bob while Kris was gone. Some fun news from Kris: They feed the birds, etc., and they now have a pheasant and a ruffed grouse on a daily basis and Kris got pictures of them. They also have a phoebe bird at their feeders and singin’! That little bird missed its calling to go south. Sunday at the Lakeview Methodist Church the members had a potluck lunch.

Last Monday, Diane Hulleman went to her daughter, Nancy Murray’s, in Rice Lake, and the two went to Shannon Champeny’s between Janesville and Beloit to enjoy the week with Shannon and her little girls, Marnie and Gabby. The two gals did some shopping and really enjoyed the girls and Shannon. They came home Saturday.

The next Dewey Township monthly board meeting is Feb. 8, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. Everyone welcome.

Sunday afternoon, I had a wonderful visit from special niece, Lorrie Meister, Steven’s wife. Come again, Lorrie, as I really enjoyed seeing you. You are a very dear niece.

Did you know there are 90,000 waiting for a kidney transplant now? I didn’t realize there were so many waiting.

Think spring!

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Well, once again I must apologize to the paper and its readers. Judy Pieper has passed off writing the Barronett news to an amateur. So you will all just have to suffer along with the amateur.

Judith, Pat Olson and Lynn Thon all traveled to Monroe on Sunday morning. They left about 5:30 a.m. and didn’t return until about midnight. The long, tiring, hectic day, along with the fact that Judith has the town taxes to deal with, led her to believe I would be better suited to write this week’s news. I can’t imagine why she didn’t figure she could fit that into her otherwise dull schedule! Any way, they went down for a 90th birthday celebration for our aunt, Helen Hefty. Aunt Helen’s birthday is actually Jan. 31, but they had the celebration on Sunday. I haven’t really spoken to anyone yet, but with Pretty Lady Helen, I know everyone had a wonderful and eventful time. For 90 years young, that exceptional woman can keep up with the best of us — not to mention getting pretty far ahead of oldtimers like me! Happy birthday, Pretty Lady!

This week’s news may seem more like a birthday register than actual news. Janice and Todd Ahneman, pastor from Barronett Lutheran, have their birthdays Jan. 19 and Feb. 1, respectively, so their three daughters were all home for a between-birthdays celebration. Feb. 2, Garett Thon, Judith’s grandson, turned 19. Our new momma of Judith’s great-granddaughter, Tru Vera Marie, Alyse Lehmann, has a birthday Feb. 5. Rambo’s two young men, Logan and Lucas Arnes, have birthdays Feb. 3 and 6 respectively. Speaking of new mommas and the Arnes family, we are still waiting for Rita Arnes to become a great-grandma. We are relatively sure it is to be a girl, but the due date is Feb. 5 according to our expectant great-grandma. She’s sort of impa-

tiently waiting. Andy Ladd and his son, Ryan, both share the same birthday, Feb. 6. We wish them all a happy birthday.

Jean Odden called Monday morning and asked me to let you know that Pastor Kenneth Rowe passed away on Friday in the state of Washington where he had been living since the family moved from this area. Pastor

Heart Lake

Rowe was the pastor for Barronett, Timberland and Heart Lake Lutheran churches in the early 1960s. His ex-wife, Elsie Sund, had called Jean to let her know about his passing.

Jean said that she, and I’m sure many others, had wonderful memories of the Rowe family. Her favorite was — the Rowes had a cabin on Webb Lake, which they kept, and would come back at least once a year to spend some time there. One Sunday they invited Jean and Milt up for dinner at the cabin. Well, Jean had a beautiful new hat, which was completely covered with feathers. You have to remember, we’re talking about the late ‘60s, when ladies still wore hats.

Anyway, Jean took her hat off and laid it on their bed while she and Milt were visiting. The Rowes had a little dog — you see where this is going, don’t you? After the visit, Jean went into the bedroom to retrieve her hat, and the room was a blizzard of feathers. The little guy had shaken every feather off the hat and they were all over the room. The Rowes were completely mortified, but Jean and Milt found it hilarious. She and Elsie still laugh about that particular memory when they visit. If anyone would like to send a card or letter to Elsie, her address is 1834 NW Forest Creek Drive, Silverdale, WA 98383.

A chili benefit for Cindy Malmin was held at Salem Lutheran Church on Saturday for a large crowd. I heard maybe 300-400 people attended. They also had a craft sale. It was organized by her daughter, Robyn, and I think several relatives helped. They extend gratitude to everyone. Get well Cindy.

We had happy hour here on Friday night and were entertained by Tommy Ray Dahlstrom, and he outdid himself with his guitar and good singing. Tooker Weathers was back helping out after his knee surgery.

It was a fun night with snacks and beverages.

On Saturday, Arlys Santiago was in Wyoming, Minn., at Audrey Carlson’s, her sister, for a baby shower for her daughter, Tracey Johnson. On Sunday afternoon she joined friends for a sing-along and visiting.

Judy and Myron Bolterman took in the chili feed at Salem on Saturday and said it was really good.

On Sunday, Myron went out to try to catch a few fish.

He’s usually lucky or just plain good.

Louise Schade was up to visit her sisters and also at-

tend the benefit with them. On Saturday night they got together at Florence’s, and Sunday at Margaret Jones’ for spaghetti. Sounds as if they had a good weekend.

Mavis Flach spent much of the week preparing for the benefit for her cousin, Cindy. Mavis’ mom, Verna, and Cindy’s mom, Doris, were Heisterkamps sisters.

Sara Marschall, Cumberland, spent the weekend at her folks.

Happy birthday to Keith White celebrating on Monday. Gina and her friend, Nicholas, of Stillwater and Minneapolis, drove to Wisconsin Dells to meet her folks and have supper. They were in Cross Plains to celebrate with the rest of the family on Sunday.

Sue and Larry Winner of Solon Springs called from Thunder Bay on Sunday. They had spent a long weekend there for a Lions convention. Larry is active in Lions and for the diabetic side of it.

A child is a person who can dismantle in five minutes the toy it took you five hours to put together.

Have a good week.

Nothing new at the center. Smear on Tuesday at 1 p.m., 500 and Cribbage. We played RummiKubs and Virginia joined us. If the 500 and Cribbage players would leave their scores on the bulletin board, I will pick them up.

The food is still super and the quilters are still quilting and I am mostly chatting.

The Shell Lake hospital reunion was held Saturday at Tony’s. I met many of the girls I worked with. Those were good years for me.

Gerry Baker went with me and we enjoyed it very much. Gerry is living at Terraceview Living Center. She likes it there.

After the reunion, I took Gerry back to the home and a few of us played Kings in the corner. The snack cart came by so I had a snack. Lucky me!

Monday a friend of Gerry’s came to visit. He’s from our old neighborhood.

Gerry would be happy to have friends call.

I should quit gallivanting and start sorting things in my apartment. I’ve been here since May and haven’t done much sorting. I’d rather visit with friends and play cards.

A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.
