Sarona by Marian Furchtenicht
April arrived with a nice day. Our primary elections were held Tuesday. Income taxes are due this month and also due are some April showers. The last week of March ended with a bit cooler temps, had to fire up the wood furnace. It’s panfish time. With the ice going out of the bigger lakes much ahead of norml, I’ve been seeing boats going by to Bear Lake. Wayne Schlapper, Stevens Point, motorcycled up Sunday and visited his mom. While here, he tilled her garden. Mavis reports her apricot trees are loaded with white blossoms. Son Roger came and took my lawn mower up to the farm shop and has it ready for me for what’s to come. The way the grass is growing it won’t be long. Willie Lombard got back from a couple-weeks trip to Alaska visiting his siblings, brother Ted, sisters Fran and Doreen and their families. Brother Andy from Colorado flew up also so they had a good time together. Dort Lombard, Spooner Nursing Home, went along with her daughter, Linda, and Bill Hines, Superior, to Durand on Sunday to the birthday celebration of her sister, Ann (Roeser) Rohlik, who turned 104. The party was held at the nursing home in Durand where she resides. Others attending were Sue Miller, Menomonie; Vicki and Art Lyons, and Willie and Vicki Lombard. Reports are she’s really alert, looked at pictures and visited. They had a special cake for a very special gal and special prayers go out for her for continued good health. Gene and Carlotta Romsos took in the finals of the end-ofthe-season curling club in Rice Lake, taking place Wednesday through Friday night. There was a dance and banquet at Turtle Back on Saturday night with couples’ finals ending Sunday afternoon. Elaine Krugar, one of our snowbirds, is flying home Tuesday from Fort Meyers, Fla., where she’s been since January, with her sister, Lois. Elaine lives in an apartment in Spooner. Barb Anderson was going to pick her up at the airport. Marlene Hansen reports daughter Krista and son Jaydon went back to Minot, N.D., to her home in early March after being here with her since Thanksgiving. Her husband, Karl Okonek, gets home Wednesday after a four-month duty tour in Guam. Renee Zimmerman and her cousin, Michelle Magnus, got home Wednesday after vacationing in Cancun, Mexico, for a week, staying at the Barceló Resort. Report a good time. Gloria and Anton Frey, her sister, Joann Paulson, and brother Bill Foltz, their kids and grands got together Saturday night, helping their mom and grandma, Dorothy Foltz, celebrate her 99th birthday, taking supper and special cake, held at the convalescent home in Rice Lake where she resides. Elaine Ryan played on the Klopp’s pool team on Saturday when Taste Budz hosted a women’s pool tournament with eight or more teams attending. Klopp’s took first place. Sandi Vogt reports spring is definitely a time of renewal – renewal of fishing licenses, burning permits and funds for tax coffers. Docks and boats are being put in on the lake and nice to see the loons are back. Several Big Ripley folks joined the trap club’s poker run benefit on Sunday and rode their four-wheelers to the local pubs to get their stamps. The weather was on the cool side, but dry and snow-free made for fun riding. There were lots of four-wheelers out, including many neighbors that I saw. Lots going on this Holy Week for churches and family. Easter get-togethers and Easter break for the students. Dave and Kelly Stoner stopped by and visited at Anton and Gloria Frey’s. Elfreda West’s granddaughter Gina Notterman’s children, Levi and baby Chase, visited her when she was up from the Twin Cities, spending the weekend at her folks, Debbie and Mark West’s. Saturday, Elfreda West went along with daughter Ellen Wagoner to Spooner to watch her great-granddaughters Madison, Kennedy and Riley skate. They are the children of Dorien and Ike Glaze. Report it was really nice. A good turnout from Sarona UMC at the Easter cantata service on Sunday at the UMC in Shell Lake. It was excellent. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery to Dorothy Esser who was in the Spooner hospital with pneumonia and to Charlotte Ross who is having cataract surgery and also to Ken Rieter who is scheduled for a knee replacement this week. Friday evening, I enjoyed supper at daughter Mary and John Marschall’s. Sara and Kyle came up and Brady and Ashley and Brian and friend Jade were there. Mary prepared a great meal. Brett Holman and grandson Casey Furchtenicht visited me one evening, bringing me monster cookie dough. Casey and I always make just chocolate chip so Brett wanted me to try the kind he and his grandma make. There was a little left by the time they got it here. It was so thoughtful of them and really good. Happy birthday this week to Matt Kubista, Stephanie Hemshrot, and also Dorothy Synder in Sheboygan, April 5; Russ Furchtenicht, Andrew Baker, Stacey Berecker, April 6; Kierra Harrington, Rocky and Corey Furchtenicht, Joyce Soholt, Elvina Lalan, Mary Lee Tautges, and Shania Pokorny on April 7; Danielle Ryan and Richard Scheffel, April 8; Ronnie Christianson, Luke Anderson, Henry Ness, Roger Lancette, Margie Waggoner, Trudy Meister and Henry Baker, April 9; Logan Gohde, Brent Gramberg, Duane Halverson, and former Sarona Methodist Pastor Chuck Wendt on April 10; Bob Dahle, Danielle Benjamin, Shannon Kline and Bill Krause, April 11. Have a fun day! Happy anniversary wishes to Kevin and Laurie Smith and Andy and Elizabeth Meyers on April 6; Dean and Kim Schlapper down in Texas on April 7; Tom and Gloria Elliott, their 40th; and Jim and Yvonne Mogensen on April 8. Seen on a senior’s car window sticker: I’m speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I’m going! A blessed Easter wishes from Sarona folks.
