About six months ago, as David Stariha, Shell Lake, drove into his yard on his four-wheeler, this partridge landed on the vehicle. Since that time, in the mornings, the partridge will tap on Stariha’s window wanting to be fed or just for attention. The partridge will follow Stariha around throughout the day, sometimes landing on a limb to stare at Stariha while chirping at him. “If you are wearing bright-colored shoes, it will peck at your feet,” commented Stariha. In this photo, the partridge is standing by Stariha’s hand. — Photo by David Stariha

Washburn County’s spring election scene Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - In less than a month, Washburn County residents will have the opportunity to cast their opinion as to the people who help run local municipalities and school districts. On Tuesday, April 5, Washburn County voters, depending on where they reside, will see candidates in four local nonpartisan municipal elections and six school board elections. The following details the elections that have a contest between more than one candidate for a position and potential vacancies.
Municipal elections Only three municipal bodies will have contests between candidates. Municipalities that have contests are the Washburn County Board of Supervisors, the Shell Lake City Council and the Town of Minong. The Spooner City Council has no candidate running for a seat in Ward 2. That position will hopefully be filled by a write-in candidate on Election Day. The members of the Washburn County Board of Supervisors are elected on a nonpartisan basis for twoyear terms. The county board is the legislative branch of
county government, passing ordinances and resolutions that regulate the function of county services, programs and departments including the annual budget, that for 2016, was approved at about $30.2 million. Of the 21 supervisory seats up for election, only five have contests and two, if not filled by a write-in candidate, will be left vacant. The candidate that formerly held the position is indicated (I) for incumbent. Candidates running are District 2, Skip Fiedler (I) and Evan Lewis; District 9, Keith Trembath (I) and Chris See Election, page 3

Spooner mayor makes proclamation Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER - The mayor of the city of Spooner made a proclamation at the Spooner City Council meeting on Tuesday, March 1. Mayor Gary Cuskey proclaimed Tuesday, April 5, as National Service Recognition Day to encourage residents to recognize the positive impact of volunteer services in the country, to thank those who serve and find ways to give back to their community. “People that volunteer are definitely to be commended for their efforts,” said Cuskey. In other meeting actions the council approved the hiring of Dustin Anderson as a full-time officer for
the city police department. Anderson will fill a full-time officer position that has been vacant since 2015. Anderson has been a part-time officer with the department for a year. Spooner Police Chief Jerry Christman stated that Anderson’s full-time officer duties will begin once he has passed a psychological evaluation.

Take a “chili” plunge for local children and families Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE— At 78 years old, Harry Dahlstrom is preparing for his second plunge into Shell Lake this Saturday, March 12, and he’s not alone. Individuals and groups of people, some sporting costumes, will be voluntarily jumping into Shell Lake for a fundraising event that benefits Lakeland Family Resource Center. “It makes me feel good to do something good for families,” said Harry Dahlstrom, who doesn’t need another reason to make his plunge. All proceeds raised from the Chilly Challenge Winter Plunge go to Lakeland Family Resource Center, a nonprofit organization located in Spooner. LFRC serves all families in Washburn County through programs and services that aim to strengthen families. Anyone can sign up to participate, but a minimum pledge of $50 is needed to plunge. Some seek contributions from friends and family that want to support LFRC or they just want to see their friend or loved one jump into a frozen lake. Either way, people can show up between noon and 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 12, to get registered and make their plunge after 2 p.m. “It wasn’t bad. You’re not in there that long,” assured Dahlstrom. “You’re in and out ... I’ve been outside all my life so a little cold won’t bother me,” said the former dairy
farmer and logger. Last year Dahlstrom raised around $1,200 and he hopes to be the top fundraiser again for this year’s plunge. A prize is given to the individual who raises the most money. However, participants must be 14 or older in order to plunge and those under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. “Thank you to the people that donate, they help the organization out,” said Dahlstrom. This year’s plunge also involves a chili cook-off and silent auction which will coincide with people plunging. Anyone interested in entering the chili cook-off may do so by calling LFRC at 715-635-4669. Judging and sampling of the chili will be done by those who make a $5 donation. While enjoying the chili, people can peruse the many items in the silent auction. Silent auction items include a handmade quilt, children’s bikes, gift baskets and tickets to area attractions. The silent auction winners and chili cook-off champion will be announced at 4 p.m. RIGHT: Amber Booth and Judy Schnacky hold their breath as they plunge into Shell Lake during Lakeland Family Resource Center’s 2015 Chilly Challenge Winter Plunge on Shell Lake. – Photo by Larry Samson
ACCIDENT REPORT On Tuesday, Feb. 22, at approximately 7:43 a.m., Mark Denhartog, 34, Minong, was southbound on Smith Bridge Road just north of Becherer Drive. He was driving a 2001 Ford Escort when he drifted across the roadway into the oncoming lane of traffic and struck, head-on, a vehicle driven by Patric Kennelly, 69, Minong. After both vehicles came to rest, Kennelly was trapped in the 2001 Chrysler Voyager LX she had been driving. Kennelly was removed from the vehicle by the Minong Fire Department. Denhartog was not injured but Kennelly had a broken ankle and was medically transported. Both vehicles had very severe damage to the front and driver side and were towed due to damage. Denhartog was cited for operating after suspension, inattentive driving, nonregistration of a vehicle and
operating without insurance. On Friday, Feb. 26, at approximately 7:13 p.m., a 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis registered to Wayne Kegel, 84, Spooner, was found unoccupied by law enforcement in the ditch at Hwy. 70 near Carlton Road in the city of Spooner. The vehicle was removed by a tow truck. No injuries or damage were reported. On Monday, Feb. 29, at 5:08 p.m., Jessica Yeazle, 34, Spooner, was westbound on CTH A just west of CTH N in the Town of Evergreen when she hit a deer. No injuries were reported and the 2016 Nissan Altima she was driving had minor damage. On Friday, March 4, at approximately 2:05 p.m., Mary Jo Pinsonneault, 56, Spooner, was northbound on Hwy. 53 when the 1999 Ford Explorer she was driving slid off
the roadway just south of Cranberry Drive in the Town of Beaver Brook. The vehicle left the roadway and went into the ditch and across a woven fence before coming to a rest. Pinsonneault may have been injured. Her vehicle had moderate damage to the top and was towed. On Friday, March 4, at approximately 6:15 p.m., Tawni Moin, 24, Barron, was northbound on Hwy. 63 when she lost control of the 2007 Ford Fusion she was driving due to snow and ice-covered road conditions. The vehicle left the road, rolled and came to a rest on its top. No injuries were reported. The vehicle had moderate damage to all areas and was towed due to the damage. — Danielle Danford with information from Washburn County Sheriff’s Office

Thompson; District 10, Hank Graber and Curt Hubatch; District 12, David Masterjohn (I) and Dean Brayton; and District 16, James Dohm (I) and Paul Johnson. If no write-in candidates are found on the ballots for Districts 1 and 19, residents in those districts will be left without representation on the county board. District 1 is largely the village of Minong, while District 19 is the southwest portion of the city of Spooner. The Shell Lake City Council has a contest for the position of mayor, a potential vacancy in Ward 1, and five candidates running for three positions in Ward 2. The Shell Lake City Council has eight alderpersons elected for two-year terms. The Shell Lake mayoral contest is between Sally Pe-
terson (I) and Terry Leckel Jr. In Ward 1 two seats are up for election with Brent Edlin (I) running for one. The other current Ward 1 alderperson whose seat is up for election, Chad Shelton, did not file for re-election. Hopefully, that position will be filled by a write-in candidate. In Ward 2 there are five candidates running for three positions, Dan Harrington (I), Ken Schultz (I), Terry Leckel Jr., Tammy Hopke and Kate Folstad.
School board elections Of the six school boards in Washburn County, one board has a contest this April, the Spooner School Board. However, the Rice Lake School Board could have a vacant city seat if no write-in candidate is found on ballots.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Setting the record straight on local control
With the presidential election now in full swing, we know that groups on each side of the aisle will begin to twist information to paint particular candidates in a certain light. This is always sad, especially when those attacks are full of hypocrisy. Recently, the Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca sent a letter to our local city, village and town clerks stating that Republicans oppose local control. This was done with taxpayer dollars, not campaign funds. Barca states that since 2011, Republicans have pushed through 100 changes to local control, but fails to tell our officials that not all of these proposals came from Republicans, or that many of the bills received broad, bipartisan support. Let’s look at the actual numbers.
Political letters March 23 will be the final issue in which we will publish letters to the editor regarding candidates in the April 5 election. The final issue prior to the election (March 30) will be reserved for letters from candidates themselves wishing to clarify any information previously published about themselves in this forum. We encourage positive letters to the editor regarding candidates.
wcregisteronline.com Your community connection.
These 100 changes were made in 74 bills, almost half of which took place before I was even elected to office. Also, Rep. Barca himself, along with other assembly Democrats, supported 52 out of the 74 bills. In fact, some of the bills, like AB 201 from 2013, were authored and strongly supported by Democrats. Did you know that 94 percent of all bills this session have been passed with bipartisan support? That’s something you won’t hear from the Madison news media. Moreover, I didn’t even support all of the bills that the letter claims I did. I voted against AB 582, a shoreland zoning bill that I believed went too far in taking away local control. After careful consideration and discussion with people in the district, this was a time when I had to break away
from the party. On the other hand, Barca would like to criticize my vote in favor of the “Christmas Tree Bill,” AB 648. This bill – which Barca supported as well – makes sure that churches are able to put up Christmas trees every year. What is even more hypocritical is that he signed on in support of three of the bills the same day he sent out the letter. Groups like the League of Municipalities, the Wisconsin Towns Association and the Wisconsin Counties Association represent our local interests in Madison. Each of those organizations supported or had no opinion on the majority of the bills that were cited by the minority leader. This is a season of political attacks, unfortunately, we can’t always avoid that.
However, when those political attacks are buried in layers of hypocrisy and distortions of truth, Barca should be ashamed. We need to be able to separate what is politics and what are facts. Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, my office has been and always will be open to the public. I work for the entire district, not only one party, and I will continue to do so as long as I am in office. My phone number is toll-free: 888-534-0075. My email is Rep.Quinn@legis.wisconsin. gov, and you can find me on Facebook. I will always make time to sit down and talk with anyone who has a question or concern. Rep. Romaine Quinn 75th District
Bewley earns award for support of housing MADISON - Sen. Janet Bewley, D-Delta, the ranking Democrat on the Senate committee charged with housing issues, was named a Friend of Housing recently. This 2016 award marked the second consecutive session Bewley was honored by the Wisconsin Builders Association. “Wisconsin’s builders are at the forefront of providing high-quality, affordable and energy-efficient homes,” Bewley said. “This industry is a vital part of our communities economic health and overall wellbeing. I’m proud to support these hardworking men and women.” Gathering near the end of each two-year legislative session, smallbusiness owners and workers in the building trades and industry come together for the WBA Business Day. The gathering is an opportunity for the association’s more than 4,000 members to meet with legislators and highlight issues important to the industry. The Friend of Housing Award is given to select legislators as part of the annual Business Day gathering. Award winners are presented with an inscribed tool or instrument used in the building industry. Bewley hopes to keep adding to this special collection of tools representing the multitude of skills Wisconsin builders put to work on sites across the state every day. — from the office of Sen.

State Patrol Law of the Month Traffic citation fines are double in work zones
SPOONER - On city streets, county roads and major highways, drivers will soon be seeing an expanse of orange barrels and other signs indicating road construction and maintenance projects are under way. During the road construction season, drivers will again face the challenge of safely maneuvering through work zones.
“Driving through a work zone requires patience. Work zones are dangerous under the best of circumstances, but your reaction time and margin for error are reduced significantly if you speed, tailgate or don’t pay attention to rapidly changing traffic situations,” Lt. Dori Petznick of the Wisconsin State Patrol, Northwest Region – Spooner Post says. “In work zones, workers and equipment often are operating within a few feet of traffic. In addition, work zones frequently have narrow lanes, different merge lanes from side roads, and rough or uneven pavement. Rear-end col-
Bradley apologizes for anti-gay columns she wrote in college Incumbent candidate for Supreme Court justice “embarrassed” by comments about AIDS, President Bill Clinton WPR |The Associated Press MADISON - Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley is apologizing for anti-gay opinion pieces she wrote when a college student 24 years ago. The liberal group One Wisconsin Now, on Monday, March 7, revealed a college newspaper column and letters to the editor Bradley wrote when a student at Marquette University in 1992. In one, Bradley compares homosexuals with drug addicts, saying they “essentially kill themselves and others through their own behavior.’’ In another, reacting to the election of Bill Clinton as president, she describes him as “queer-loving’’ and said his victory “proves that the majority of voters are either totally stupid or entirely evil.’’
Bradley said in a statement she is “frankly embarrassed at the content and tone of what I wrote those many years ago.’’ From the statement: “To those offended by comments I made as a young college student, I apologize, and assure you that those comments are not reflective of my worldview. These comments have nothing to do with who I am as a person or a jurist, and they have nothing to do with the issues facing the voters of this state.” Bradley’s challenger in the upcoming Supreme Court election, Appeals Court Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg, condemned the columns in a statement, calling the views Bradley expressed “abhorrent.” “There is no statute of limitations on hate. Rebecca Bradley’s comments are as abhorrent and disturbing today as they were in 1992 as people were dying in huge numbers from AIDS. Her career since that time includes being appointed three times to three judgeships in three years by Scott Walker who is against gay rights. Rebecca Bradley’s alliance with conservative causes and Scott Walker speaks louder than any apology she tries to make.”
lisions are the most frequent type of crash in a work zone. Although construction workers are at a great risk of being hit, about three out of four people killed in work zone crashes are motorists.” To prevent crashes and save lives, fines for traffic violations in work zones are double the usual amounts when workers are present. Posted work zone speed limits are still in force even when workers are not present. “The total costs for speeding in excess of the posted limit in a work zone range from $213 for 1 to 10 mph over the limit
all the way up to $893 for 45 mph or more over the limit. You also will have between three and six demerit points added to your driving record,” Petznick says. “State patrol officers are specifically assigned for traffic enforcement in work zones, and they may be supported by officers in airplanes monitoring work zones. Their mission is to protect both workers and motorists in work zones by strictly enforcing posted speed limits and other traffic laws.” — from WisDOT
Washburn County Area Humane Society Yes, here’s another, her owner unknown, A sweet longhaired beauty, left out all alone.

Long, 34, Cumberland, who, in an alleged effort to flee police, ran into and through two houses, exiting out the back doors,
before he was caught. At about 11 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 22, a Cumberland police officer responded to a report of a suspicious man who’d set a duffel bag in front of a vehicle at the gas pumps at the BP gas station. Upon arrival, the officer saw the described man walking in a backyard north of the BP parking lot. He yelled for the man to stop, the man turned around, looked at the officer and allegedly took off running. When the officer was gaining on the man, the man ran around the corner of a house, dropped the bag on the ground and ran into a house on Buck Street. The officer knocked on the door of the house and a woman opened it and told the officer the man’s name and that
he had run out the back door. The officer ran around the back of the house and saw Long going into the backyard and over a hill and then trying to climb a steel gate to get into another backyard of a house, the complaint stated. The officer caught up to him and threatened Long that if he didn’t get on the ground, he’d tase him. Long got on the ground and was handcuffed. The officer noted that Long seemed to be under the influence of a controlled substance and was very paranoid, stated the complaint. He allegedly said that vehicles were following him and people were watching him through the trees. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype

Washburn Christian Outreach celebrates first anniversary Bill Holden | Special to the Register WASHBURN COUNTY - Washburn Christian Outreach recently celebrated its first anniversary. This organization, established and run by Washburn County churches, was established to provide, in the most effective and efficient manner, products and funding to help less fortunate individuals and families deal with moments of emergency crisis in their lives. The purpose of the WCO is to provide a single point of contact and coordinate emergency aid throughout Washburn County. WCO uses a centralized pool of funds provided by member churches and coordinates relief connections between the churches and those supporting entities, Salvation Army and Ruby’s Pantry,
along with the civic, county, state and federal resources available via partnerships. WCO ended the calendar year with 10 member churches, having served and closed 166 cases, both individuals and families, throughout the whole of Washburn County. With combined resources from WCO, Ruby’s Pantry and Salvation Army funding, the organization provided relief of nearly $18,000 in solutions for crisis situations in Washburn County. The organization is 501c(3) certified, has a board of directors overseen by participating representatives from the current 10 member churches and other partner agencies. The board provides the executive director, with direction and funding. Staff includes a treasurer and a team of caseworkers. The operations are staffed
resources more effectively and efficiently over a broader spectrum of population. WCO is financially teamed up with the Washburn County Salvation Army and Ruby’s Pantry. They administer their funds on their behalf in conjunction with their own, allowing all parties to operate more efficiently and minimize administrative costs. Washburn Christian Outreach’s funding member churches are Trinity Lutheran, St Alban’s, United Methodist and St. Francis de Sales from Spooner; The River, Minong; Namekagon Congregational, Earl; and Salem Lutheran, Lake Park Alliance, Full Gospel and United Methodist from Shell Lake.
and operated entirely by volunteers. The process is remarkably simple and straightforward. When approached by someone in need of help, a church or other organization provides a tear-off slip of paper, with WCO’s phone number on it. The number is a voice mailbox that is accessed several times daily by the caseworker on duty to recover messages and begin the process of meeting with the client, understanding the need, and developing a solution via documented processes. Everything is strictly confidential, but complete records are maintained and members can tell at a moment’s notice whether and how they have helped a person in the past. This eliminates duplication and allows them to use their

Home repair and down payment funds available SPOONER - Housing rehabilitation assistance totaling $2.1 million is available to qualifying homeowners to assist in repairs to roofing, siding, well, septic, heating, electrical, windows, doors, sewer and water laterals, and handicapped-accessibility modifications. Funds are also available for emergency housing repairs threatening health, safety and general household welfare. Qualifying homeowners can access zero-percent interest, deferred-payment loans secured by a mortgage. The property must be titled in the owner’s name, property taxes cur-
rent, and the property insured. Applicants must also meet income eligibility requirements based on household size. Landlords with qualifying rental units can access zero-percent-interest loans amortized up to 10 years. Qualifying persons currently renting and looking to purchase a home may be eligible for down-payment assistance in the form of a zero-percent interest, deferred payment loan.

Pins for Pets fundraiser right around the corner SPOONER - The organizers of the Washburn County Area Humane Society’s 11th-annual Pins for Pets 9-pin tap bowling fundraiser are reminding bowlers and spectators that this event is just around the corner. The Northwoods Lanes in Spooner is the place, Saturday, March 19. Bowling times are noon and 3 p.m., or 6 p.m. for cosmic bowling. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Each dollar of profit will be used to maintain and operate the local animal shelter. A new twist on the donationsheet competition this year will be that any bowler who brings in $100 or more gets to bowl free. Donation forms may be picked up at the bowling alley, WCAHS shelter, or online at wcahs.com. The shelter staff and the volunteers lovingly work to make this temporary home for so many animals — an average of 550 per year — as clean and comfortable as possible. But doing this isn’t easy without fundraisers and support from giving
and caring individuals who thankfully continue to support the effort. It would be a great for this Pins for Pets bowling event to have all three shifts of bowling filled, have many participants in the donation competition, and collect a nice supply of items from the shelter wish/ needs list. Because fundraising is always ongoing, two upcoming WCAHS events will be the Par for Pets golf fun-for-all tournament, scheduled for the first part of June at the Spooner Golf Course, and the Sale for Tails thrift sale to be held at the Washburn County Fairgrounds at the end of July. Keep track of all the WCAHS shelter happenings as well as available/adoptable animals at the website or feel free to stop in at the shelter, located at 1400 Cottonwood Ave., which is on the south end of Spooner near the Washburn County Fairgrounds. The shelter is open to the public daily from noon to 5 p.m. except on Wednesday and Sunday. — from WCAHS

Raptors coming to Spooner Library SPOONER - “Northwood Raptors,” a program featuring a live bird of prey, will be held at the Spooner Memorial Library on Thursday, March 17, at 6 p.m. The program, which is free to the public, is being offered by the Cable Natural History Museum as part of the museum’s raptor project and is made possible by a grant from
the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board. The evening program will be presented by Jayme Morey, living collections assistant for the Cable Natural History Museum, which first began exhibiting a live raptor in the fall of 2011. The first bird, a female red-tailed hawk, was instrumental
in helping to educate people of all ages about the importance of conservation through the use of live, nonreleasable birds of prey. The museum now has three birds of prey on the museum’s campus in the town of Cable. All of the museum’s raptors are birds deemed disabled/nonreleasable, meaning they have been deter-

T
he church that Milt and I are attending was in the process of doing a church directory with photos of attendees along with their contact information. I like church directories. A directory helps to put names and faces together, along with showing family connections. It had been quite a while since Milt and I had our photo taken professionally. Although the session wasn’t supposed to take too long, I think Milt and I chatted too much with the photographer, thus making our photo session longer than perhaps it did for others. Our photographer, Jimmy, shared with us how he got interested in photography. When he was 12 years old his dad gave him a camera. In May 1965, Fridley, Minn., was struck hard by a tornado. Since the media was covering this big event, on the encouragement of his father, Jimmy was taking photos of the tornado damage that occurred when tornadoes touched down in his southern Minnesota neighbor-
A photo session Beyond the office door Suzanne Johnson hood. Jimmy’s dad took the photos to a Twin Cities newspaper where they were published. Jimmy went to college to be an art teacher but found his vocation to be taking portraits. As a hobby, he combines his photography with painting and sells his craft at art fairs. While talking with Jimmy, he shared that he is getting excited about retiring. His dream is to travel the United States in a motor home, visiting all 50 states
with his wife beside him. I told him that I thought that would be fun. And then said, “It will be interesting to see how you are going to get the motor home to Hawaii.” Jimmy had an answer. “I plan to take a photo of myself beside the motor home and carry it right here,” he explained, as he patted his front shirt pocket. Jimmy also expressed interest in taking photos of barns. We told him about the round barn that we have visited located near where we live. The sad part about barns is that more and more are disappearing from the landscape due to not being used and the age of the structure. Replacement barns are a pole-type or freestall metal structure rather than the classic wooden barn. After Jimmy took our photo, I asked if there was a way for me to use the photo for a weekly column that I write. Jimmy sold me the rights to use the photo that I have introduced in this week’s column.

ust as when I was growing up, today’s young people have rules set by their parents. I can laugh at some of the really little things I and my sister considered very important. We had peer pressure. We had the influence of Hollywood and the demands of our thriving society. We wanted to be like our friends, but individuals, as well. My sister Carol and I had to go by the rules, and we always wanted to bend them. The problems and arguments with our mother and dad began to be more frequent when we began earning our own money. We could baby-sit or earn money doing things for neighbors. We got 50 cents an hour. For an evening we could bring home a couple of dollars. I had a regular job every day after school doing housework and serving the evening meal for a lady who had roomers in her home. I was bringing home about $5 a week. I would put the money I earned on our bedroom shelf between the pages of a book. Sometimes the book would almost be overflowing with dollar bills. Our parents didn’t allow us to have “suggestive” clothes. Mother made beautiful clothes for us. My sister and I were not allowed to wear makeup. For a costume, of course, but not actually wear it. New things were forcing dramatic changes. Something called the five-and-dime store arrived. They say a store in Pennsylvania had started selling small items and the idea had caught on and they were springing up everywhere. For me it was amazing. Usually, our downtown had a dry goods store where people bought clothing. There was a drugstore where you purchased some things. It had a soda fountain, too. You could sit on a stool at the counter and buy an ice-cream sundae or another treat. Our own money was not enough for us to buy clothes. We could buy low-priced things at this
Old wife’s tales Mary B. Olsen amazing store. The new dime store was filled with counters of small items we could gaze at and choose without a clerk hanging close like in the dry goods store. They had some clothing and some cosmetics and colognes, like the dry goods store and the drugstore. If someone had asked me what was my favorite thing to do, I would reply immediately, let’s go to the dime store. For the first time an entire area of the store, like sparkling diamonds, was makeup, attractively packaged, that anyone could buy. There were lipsticks and powder, compacts with mirrors, little purses to hold your makeup, nail-care items and many kinds of lotions and even perfume. While Carol and I were looking over the cosmetics we did not know of the rule in our house about girls not wearing makeup. There were many shades to choose from, and it was a lot of fun picking out our favorites. We came home from our shopping trip giddy over our choices and gaily tried several we had bought. We had nail polish and even some black eye makeup. We tried out some of our treasures before the bathroom
mirror. We envisioned ourselves as elegant as movie stars. Not many of the girls at school used lipstick, but there were some who would. They were considered bad influences on the rest of the girls, so we had to avoid them. We didn’t put on the makeup when we got ready to go to school. When we were not baby-sitting, we would go together to the library or to the movie theater. Stores closed at 5 p.m. Sometimes Carol and I liked to go to a place down the street from our home near the high school called the Campus Inn. We could sit in a booth and order Cokes. Some of our friends would be there, and we could play the jukebox and enjoy being with them. There might be boys there, and they would have their own booths but they might talk to us. When we tried out the makeup, nobody seemed to notice. It made us feel good, and we liked it. The girls thought they would try it, too. We felt the excitement of our new discovery. Like we were pioneers. Our mother never noticed the change in us, but our father did. I will never forget his reaction. He gave Carol and me a lecture about painted ladies. There were two kinds of ladies. Those who wore paint on their faces were the worst kind and they were not respected. Actresses and ladies of the night wore paint on their faces. Did we girls want to disgrace our family with red lips? How did we look? He said, “You look like the south end of a horse going north.” We continued to wear makeup. Mother wore makeup. In later years, we dyed our hair red to look like Rita Hayworth. When our younger sister started to wear makeup she told us our dad had told her she looked like a mule going north.

Art of film series concludes this month SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake Arts Center’s final two dates of this season’s “The Art of Film” Series will be on Saturday, March 12, and Saturday, March 19. University of Wisconsin - Barron County senior lecturer Lee Friederich will bring her expertise in Japanese literature and culture to the guests for the night of March 12. March 19 will bring something different to the series with a screening of two documentaries, “Old Fashioned: The Story of the Wisconsin Supper Club” and “Tale of the Spotted Cow,” highlighting Wisconsin-based businesses by Wisconsin-native filmmakers. Created by Chicago resident and Wisconsin native, Holly L. De Ruyter, “Old Fashioned” premiered in April 2015 to sold-out crowds at the Wisconsin Film Festival in Madison. It has gone on to screen at various film festivals around the Upper Midwest to more sold-out crowds and rave reviews. De Ruyter attended Columbia College Chicago and that move opened her eyes to the many unique Wisconsin traditions that she had taken for granted growing up. She decided to create a documentary on supper clubs in order to explore Wisconsin culture and to better understand why supper clubs are such an institution there. She spent six years crisscrossing the state interviewing experts on Wisconsin history, food and culture along with supper club owners and their
patrons. The documentary explores Wisconsin mainstays such as the Friday fish fry, the brandy old fashioned and many other historical and cultural traditions. For more information please visit oldfashionedthemovie.com. Wisconsin native filmmaker Bill Roach will bring “Tale of the Spotted Cow,” the story of the founders and owners of New Glarus Brewing, Deb and Dan Carey, and their journey from struggling parents just scraping by, to being the owners of a multimillion-dollar business. Their ragsto-riches tale is inspirational. “This is the American dream. There is nowhere else in the world this can happen,” Deb says in
Two documentary films made by Wisconsites, about Wisconsin businesses, are featured in the final, March 19, Art of Film show at the art center. – Photos submitted one of the film’s trailers. The film showcases the history of New Glarus Brewing Company, with footage from inside the brewery and interviews with the Careys. For more information, visit taleofthespottedcow.com. Films are projected on a 9’x16’ screen in the center’s cafeteria/conference room and there is plenty of seating. Audience members are also welcome to bring their own comfortable, folding chairs if they
prefer. Popcorn, snacks and beverages will be available. The arts center is located at 802 First St. in Shell Lake, two blocks off Hwy. 63. The south doors that face First Street are the entry doors for the film series. Admission is by freewill donation with a suggested donation of $7 a person. This year’s film series is sponsored in part by a grant from Xcel Energy Foundation. — from SLAC

Basketball comes to an end for Shell Lake boys
Larry Samson | Staff writer SOLON SPRINGS - The Shell Lake boys basketball season came to an end with a 70-38 loss to a strong Solon Springs team. The two teams played Tuesday, March 1, in Solon Springs. The outcome of the game was never really in doubt as the Eagles were the No. 2 seed while the Lakers were the No. 15 seed team. The Eagles took an early lead and led 46-17 in the first half. The Lakers played a better game in the second half, scoring 22 points to Solon Springs 24 points. Luke Pokorny was one of the top scorers for Shell Lake with 15 points followed by Sean Heckel with nine and Drew Johnson with eight points. This was the last game for three seniors, Drew Johnson, Zach Melton and Nathaniel Wingler. They will be missed as they led the team through a lean year. They will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have kept the program together. Solon Springs lost to Luck, 75-48, in the final game of the regionals held on Saturday, March 5. Luck will be representing the region in the Spooner Sectionals as they go up against Washburn in the first round held Thursday, March 10, in Superior. The winner of that game will play either McDonnell Central or Rib Lake on Saturday, March 12, in Spooner.
Drew Johnson goes in to the basket on this shot. He played in his last basketball game as a Laker. With only one win in the last four years, it would have been easy for Johnson not to play but he and his teammates showed character and kept playing to keep the program together until better times.
Sean Heckel drives the basket against a strong Solon Springs team in the first round of the regionals. Shell Lake played a good game but lost 70-39 in a game played in Solon Springs on Tuesday, March 1.

Remember, it’s clock-changing time on the weekend, so spring ahead. Friday it started snowing at noon. We got a couple of inches. It was 53 degrees on Sunday so that took care of the new snow. Sap is flowing so folks are starting to gather it. I see a week or more ago that there were bags out already just north of Walmart in Rice Lake. The spring equinox is also only another week away so I guess it’s an early spring. Robins should be here anytime soon. Howard and Jean Furchtenicht and son David drove St. Peter, Minn., to attend the wedding of their granddaughter, Sarah Hanson, daughter of Jill and Mike. Sarah married John Remington. They report that it was a beautiful wedding. Others attending were Julie and Bryon Westlund, Spooner; Kim and Darrel Crosby, Elkhorn, and their daughter, Ericka, and Brian Granzin, Shell Lake. Congratulations newlyweds. John Ross, Appleton, visited folks Alan and Charlotte
Ross recently. So nice to have the kids come and get some projects done. There were 15 in attendance at the once-a-month group at the Roost on Tuesday. Attending were Gene and Carlotta Romsos, Chuck and Lois Jackson, Sam and Libbie DeTrent, Doug and Sandi Rudolph, Pat Chartier, Mary Thostenson, Dan and Linda Rogstad, Bill and Sharon Ehrlickmann and Dale Mindea. They all enjoyed the great food and the lively conversation. Visiting at Willie and Vicki Lombard’s were her twin nephews, Matt and John Miller, River Falls. They went fishing on Little Keg on Sunday. It was a nice day to be out but the fish didn’t bite. Others joining them were Harold and Karen Stephen, Dave and Kelly Stoner, and Julie Hoeft.

Wild Mushrooms 101 Tuesday, March 22, 5-9 p.m. This is a rare opportunity to learn from a 30-year veteran of wild mushroom foraging. This is a classroom session covering the three rules plus one and the safe six: Morels, shaggy manes, hen of the woods, chicken mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and puffballs. Topics include tree identification, ethics, safety, storage and preparation. Poisonous mushrooms will also be discussed. Your instructor is a certified expert by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and owns Tavis’s Mushrooms. Class No. 26784. Cost is $17.34 or $4.50 senior fee.
Mushrooms 3: The Genus Russula Monday, April 25, 6-9 p.m. The Genus Russula is a new class and includes some very beautiful and interesting species of forest mushrooms, and many are very hard to distinguish. Because russulas are typically fairly large, and because they are often brightly colored, amatuer mushroomers are frequently interested in identifying them. Learn about the edible and toxic species and also look at closely related and similar looking mushrooms. Relationships with trees and other plants and fungi will also be discussed. As a follow-up to the Wild Mushrooms 101 or 201 classes, attendees can start narrowing their identification searches down as they become familiar with this common group of mushrooms. Class No. 26787. The cost is $17.34 or $4.50 senior fee. — from Shell Lake Community Ed

t was time to climb into bed after reading a story from the Bible. “Now Edie,” said her mom, “be sure to kneel down and say your prayers before climbing into bed.” Kissing her gently, she reminded her that she would be downstairs making sure she would be safe. The next morning at breakfast her mom said, “Well, Edie, did you say your prayers before you fell asleep?” “Well, sort of, Mom,” she replied. “I got down on my knees and started to pray. Then I thought, ‘God, you must get bored with this kind of stuff night after night. Why don’t you listen carefully and I’ll tell you the story of “The Three Bears.” ‘ So I snuggled in bed and told him the story of ‘The Three Bears.’ I really think he enjoyed it.” God gave us no specific formula to follow when we pray. In Jesus’ model prayer we are reminded of all of the important things that we are to take to God in prayer. Jesus, in Gethsemane, set a marvelous example. His prayers were simple, sincere and straightforward. David knew it was not necessary to follow a formula. “Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth,” is how he began a prayer on one occasion. Then with openness and honesty he said what he had to say and God responded and met his immediate needs. God is that way. When we have a need all we have to do is to go to him in faith and express our needs.

Dewey Country
Pauline Lawrence
Are you all in shorts and sunning yourself? In Dewey Country we have been having beautiful weather. Last week we got 4-plus inches of snow and it was melting as fast as it came. It is only two weeks until spring. A very happy birthday to Luke Wilmont, Dirk Benzer, and to my daughter, Penny Ladd, as they celebrate their special day. Have a wonderful day on March 10. March 11, a very happy birthday to Kayla Albee Smith and also to Rachel Kane. Enjoy your day. March 12, a very happy birthday to John Palm as he celebrates his special day. A very happy birthday to Nate Kane on March 14. Enjoy your day Nate. Jeff Vesta, a very happy birthday to you on March 15 with lots more to come. March 16, a very happy birthday to Brandon Doriott, Lane Hinkfuss, and to my favorite sister, Marie Quam. All have a happy day. Daylight saving time is Sunday, March 13, when we lose an hour of sleep. Remember to set your clock ahead before you go to bed on Saturday, March 12. On Monday, Chad Jensen and his daughter, Izzy, came to Diane Hulleman’s for Diane to baby-sit their dog and cat. Tuesday, Diane worked at Shell Lake Schools.

cious dinner Janie made. Our former first lady Nancy Reagan, 94, passed away on Sunday. She was a fine and great lady. Karen Melton tells us they will open their antique shop on April 1. Penny, Rem, Ry and Ree, and Jeff attended the wrestling match at Clear Lake on Saturday. Rem got a first and Ree got third. Congratulations, kids, you did great. Jeff was so happy as he finally got his truck back and it looks great. I see road weight limits went into effect March 7 for county highways. I imagine our town road weight limits are also in effect. Visiting and playing cards with Evelyn Melton was her daughter Peggy Vesta. Jim Bernecker is clearing the woods off the 160 acres he has. It was a very nice article on Otto Lawson in last week’s Register. Otto was married to former Dewey Country resident Darlene VanSelus, who was the sister of Dutch VanSelus. Darlene passed away several years ago and Otto remarried. It’s great to see men like Otto helping others and making America a better place to live. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!
at Lakeview Bar and Grill. She was immediately taken to Rice Lake and then transferred to Eau Claire where she is undergoing therapy. Our love and prayers are with you, Connie and family. Arlys Santiago was out fishing Sunday, but she said there was a lot of water on the ice. She sounded good after her struggle with an upper respiratory infection. Jeff Pederson was also homebound with the infection, but is out and about now. Cheri Minot went to have supper with her twins, Tonya and Michelle Minot, in Eau Claire on Friday. On Saturday, I was picked up by Sue and Larry Win-
ner of Solon Springs to go to Chippewa Falls for a baby shower for Megan (Pederson) Zieman. She is expecting a girl in June. There were relatives from Madison, Rochester, Hudson, Spooner and Shell Lake. There was lots of visiting and good food. We returned Saturday evening. Wisconsin Badgers lost a tough game against Purdue on Sunday night. Pastor Sue was here for Bible study on Tuesday. The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
in New Richmond. They had a great time visiting with Emily. After they left, they took the Vintage Charm Tour. They stopped at six cute little shops and got a charm at each one. They ended up in Stillwater and both Cheryl and Judy said it was a great girls day out. Dick Grover said that he got a bit of very useful advice during his last visit to the doctor’s office. The doctor told him that, after reviewing his chart and noting his age, he should never, never, never take sleeping pills and laxatives on the same evening. Hmmm. Craig, Deb, Angie, Shane, Addy and Anitia Lehmann went to Barron this past weekend to watch the mites play hockey. They were all very proud of their little mite, Gavin, when he scored three goals. No one keeps score at mites games, so every player on every team was a winner. Anitia said that she is sure Gavin is going to carry on the Lehmann tradition and be a great hockey player. You go, big guy. The family is counting on you. On Sunday afternoon, Anitia and Don Lehmann drove up to Wascott to visit with Harry and Beth Knowlton. They spent a pleasant afternoon visiting and catching up on everything going on at the Knowlton home. You know, we have some really nice places to shop in Cumberland and Shell Lake. When Sue Meier was visiting, she, Pat Olson and I went into Cumberland to pick up a few things. I went into Radio Shack, which is really ATS Electronics now, and, because I know nothing about electronics, I had a lot of questions for them. Let me tell you, even though the name has changed, the service has not. I had questions and they were very glad to answer them. And another place where you can always count on a warm welcome is the pawn shop. Debbie was there when we went in, and she always asks about the family and makes everyone feel special. They have a lot of really neat stuff in there at very reasonable prices. Pat, Sue and I had a great time shopping. Jeno and Louie Herman are doing a major remodeling job at Bistro 63. They have painted the dining room and changed the decor, put new tile in the kitchen and generally gave the place a face-lift. Jeno said they will be
reopening on Wednesday, March 16. So be sure to stop by and inspect the job and have one of their wonderful meals. I know we will. Wrig Marsh was over visiting with us on Friday. We had a fantastic time. He wanted to plant apple trees, so we took a Honeycrisp apple, took out the seeds, and put it in a pot. He was hoping the plants would be up before he left that afternoon, but I told him he’d have to wait just a little while. He plans to plant them out at their cabin on Long Lake. While we were waiting for the seeds to grow, we made banana muffins and then went sledding out by the garden. There was ice on top of the snow and we were zooming down the hill. It was great. Well, yeah, but I’m really ready for this nice warm weather, too. Winter sports are OK, but summer sports are the greatest. Easter is coming up fast. If you don’t already have a church, why don’t you plan to join us at Barronett Lutheran for the Lenten services, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. If you have young children, Peg Thompson has a Wednesday school class every Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. where she teaches Bible stories and has the kids do crafts. I’ve sat in on a couple of classes, and the kids seem to be enjoying themselves immensely. We would be so happy to welcome you into our church, and this is the perfect time of year to come, visit and get to know us a little better. Oh, I almost forgot, Bill Gill called one day this week. He said that a friend had been visiting his grandparents and his grandmother asked if he would like some ice cream. Well, who can resist that? He said yes, and his grandma told his grandpa to go out to the kitchen and get them some. She said that he should bring them each a bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce and a cherry on top. She also told Grandpa that he had better write it down because he was getting very forgetful. That irritated Grandpa a little bit and he told her that he was perfectly capable of doing such a simple thing without writing it down. Well he stormed out to the kitchen and came back in a while with a plate of bacon and eggs for everyone. Grandma took one look and said, “I knew you should have written it down. You forgot the toast.” The older I get the more I commiserate with that grandpa and grandma. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Enjoy this beautiful weather. See you next time.

We are having good weather here in Shell Lake. On Monday it was a little overcast, but it was good to get in the 50s. Can’t beat that. We welcome Bun Weathers back. He has been in Kentucky visiting his family there for a couple of weeks. Last Monday, I was happily surprised to have my nephew, Chuck, and Barb Turpin visit me. Chuck is the son of Pauline (Pederson) and Norman Turpin, so we have a lot to talk about. His brother, Wendell, of Indiana is a frequent visitor here in Shell Lake. We were saddened to hear Connie Richter suffered a stroke last week when she was out dining with friends

Talking to Sandy Atkinson, she says all the kids were home for their dad’s birthday. Yes, it’s happy birthday to Jim who turned 81 March 6. Coming to enjoy corned beef and cabbage were Jim Atkinson, Noel and Pattie Beaufeaux, Mitch and his girlfriend, Kyle and his wife, Dan and Lisa Otto and children Marjorie and Charlie, and Scott and Kristen Carls and children Jannah and Brianne. Sandy made Jim a German chocolate cake and an angel food cake. What’s new with Myrna Atkinson? Well, she’s still working on a quilt, and is going to take three quilts that the quilters made to the quilting event at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rice Lake on April 2. Myrna says they have lots of ribbons that they have won over the years at the senior center in Shell Lake. She says they have been meeting there for 10 years and worked at the historical center in Shell Lake before then. Saturday, March 12, Ruby’s Pantry will be meeting with all their goodies to give to people who need food. If you’re a little short of groceries for the month, you are welcome to attend. Sunday, Marie and Warren Quam and Jan Lauterbach were guests at Rick and Janie Lauterbach’s for Rich’s birthday. Rich goes to River Falls. All enjoyed the deli-

Cheryl Jaastad called to remind us that the children’s Easter party, hosted by Barronett Civic Club members, will be held at the Barronett Community Center on Saturday, March 19, from 2-4 p.m. There will be games, crafts, food and all kinds of fun for the kids. The Easter egg hunt will begin at 3:30 p.m. All children age 10 years old and younger are welcome, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. There is no charge for attending the party but, of course, all donations are welcome. So, mark it on your calendar and round up your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews or even the little neighbors and come to Barronett for a fun-filled Easter party. The paint and sip party, which was held at the Barronett Community Center in February, was a huge success. Twenty-five people attended and some were quite surprised to find out that they were capable of painting a lovely picture. Cheryl Jaastad said that everyone attending would like to thank Sarah and Marie from Paint Palettes for their help. She also said that the civic club hopes to be sponsoring another paint and sip party in the future. Judy Norton was one of the attendees of the paint and sip party, and after the party she and Cheryl stopped by Bistro 63. They stayed for a bit, enjoying the good conversation, and then walked over to Barronett Bar and Grill. Well, Judy was completely surprised by the surprise retirement party that was waiting for her. She said that the place was completely packed with well-wishers, and she is grateful to all the cousins and friends who surprised her and made her retirement such a joyous occasion. She said that everything was wonderful, and that one of the nicest things was the cake Beth Ranallo made for her. It was in the shape of a clock, and each hour was marked with different things for her to do to enjoy retirement. Sounds like it was the perfect way to start her life as a retired lady. On Sunday evening Cheryl and Judy went to visit Cheryl’s daughter, Emily, in her beautiful new home

Warm temps bring out the wildlife
A doe and her two yearlings were seen browsing in a hay field at dusk near Shell Lake. The deer herd across northern Wisconsin is looking very good. A severity index of 0 to 50 is considered a mild winter by the WisDNR. The 2015-2016 winter has been rated 20. For some hunters the deer numbers are too low, so the DNR reduced the number of doe tags last year. That combined with the warm winter should help the deer herd rebound. The severity index is made up of the number of days below zero and the depth of the snow. — Photo by Larry Samson
