Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer TREGO — “I was told that ovarian cancer is like a dandelion that is gone to seed, so you can take a dandelion and give it a blow and the seeds go everywhere,” said Rhonda Schneider in her healing garden overlooking the Namekagon River. Two years ago Schneider was told something that would forever change how she perceived life and how she lived it.

After becoming seriously ill one weekend in February of 2012 Schneider, a nurse practitioner, went to the hospital to get fluids thinking they would help. An X-ray revealed her illness was more than a bad case of the flu and she underwent surgery. On Feb. 13, 2012, Schneider’s life became a death sentence.

“I woke up with ostomy bags collecting stool and a large abdominal incision. They said I had stage four ovarian cancer and I was full of it and to prepare yourself, there is no future.”

One surgeon told her she probably had been living with ovarian cancer for two years before the prognosis. Shocked and scared, she was referred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where her prognosis vanished, replaced instead by a network of individuals battling cancer by her side.

“It is people’s survivor stories that you really, you just cling to them,” she said. Two stories stood out – a chaplain who is an ovarian cancer survivor and one of her surgeons that was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer four years prior.

That network and her family and friends buoyed her through two surgeries and two rounds of chemotherapy from February 2012 to her last chemotherapy treatment on Oct. 31, 2012. Monthly trips to the hospital became a hateful routine, but the symptoms and side effects of the surgeries and chemo were harder.

Even through the most difficult days Schneider Rhonda Schneider, this year’s Washburn County was adamant about maintaining her sense of Relay For Life honorary chair, sits in her healing garself. den with the five joys of her life: Emma, Britta, Ryan, Kaitlyn and Duke. — Photo by Danielle H.

Shell Lake royalty’s call for candidates SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake’s Town and Country Days are fast approaching. Part of the annual festivities is the Miss Shell Lake pageant, and this year will be no exception. Many are looking forward to crowning the city’s 2014-2015 Miss Shell Lake and her court.

The number of royalty crowned is dependent on the number of contestants.

This year, it is planned to crown Miss Shell Lake, a senior princess, Junior Miss Shell Lake, a junior princess, Little Miss Shell Lake and a little princess.

The Miss Shell Lake pageant is a great opportunity for young women to learn skills in leadership and public speaking, to develop a sense of community and earn scholarship money. It is an experience that looks great on a college application or resume. Participants will become an ambassador to the community, a role model to area youth, attend local parades, volunteer and make memories that will last a lifetime.

To become a contestant, a candidate must be a female and attend school in the Shell Lake School District. This includes students that are home schooled.

There are three age levels for ambas-

sadors. Little Miss candidates must be between the ages of 6 and 8. Junior Miss participants must be between the ages of 10 and 12, and the Miss contestants must be between the ages of 14 and 17. Candidates must fit into one of the age categories

by June 1. Contestants will not be eligible if they have previously been granted a title in their age category.

More information, applications, candidate handbooks and schedules will be available at informational meetings, which will be held Tuesday, June 3, and Wednesday, June 4, 6 p.m., at the Shell Lake Pavilion.

If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Denotter at 715-645-2600. — from the Miss Shell Lake Royalty committee

DA files three felony charges against Edward Depies

Crash claimed two lives and injured two

SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County District Attorney has filed three felony charges against Edward Depies, Sarona, after an exhaustive investigation by the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin State Patrol.

According to a news release from Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden, the charges allege Depies was the driver of the Ford Mustang in the fatal crash that occurred on July 21, 2013, on CTH A in Washburn County.

Molly Undem, 25, Shell Lake, and Donald Roberts III, 20, Spooner, were killed in the crash. Timothy Wohlford, Spooner, 20 at the time of the accident, and Depies, 25 at that time, were injured in the crash.

Depies is charged with two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and one count of injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle. Upon conviction on each of the homicide counts Depies maybe be fined not more than $100,000, or imprisoned for no more than 25 years,

or both. The release states that upon conviction the department shall revoke the defendant’s operating privilege for five years.

Upon conviction of the injury count Depies may be fined not more than $25,000, or imprisoned not more than 12 years and six months, or both. Upon conviction the department shall revoke the defendant’s operating privilege for two years.

In the early morning of July 21, 2013, law enforcement officers responded to the report of a car crash at CTH A west of Fred Tripp Road in the Town of Stone Lake. Upon arrival at the crash scene, the officers observed a 2005 Ford Mustang that had left the roadway and been involved in a rollover crash. It came to rest several hundred feet from where it left the roadway. Deputies observed beer cans and bottles strewn around the scene and inside the crashed automobile.

Investigation of the scene revealed that the defendant and one other person, Wohlford, had been ejected from the automobile and were alive. They were transported to medical facilities for

emergency care. Two victims, Undem and Roberts, appeared to have been ejected from the automobile and were pronounced dead at the scene.

The officers determined that the accident occurred at approximately 2:30 a.m. on July 21, 2013, and that the vehicle was owned by Depies. At the scene of the crash Wohlford said he did not remember specifically who was driving, but he thought it was a male. Reconstruction of the accident by the Wisconsin State Patrol showed that the automobile was traveling in excess of 120 mph at the time of the accident. The investigation also revealed that no mechanical issues of the Mustang contributed to the crash.

Blood was drawn from Depies after the crash that revealed his blood ethanol alcohol level to be .075 seven hours after the crash.

In an interview on July 22, 2013, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Depies said that he had been driving his automobile, the above-described Mustang, on the evening of July 20, 2013. He remembered picking up Roberts, Undem and Wohlford around 11 p.m. and driving them to a bar in Hayward.

On April 30, 2014, the plaintiff and other officers interviewed the defendant. During the course of the interview the defendant stated that he had memory of driving on Metcalf Road, near the scene of the crash, with Roberts in the passenger seat next to him. Additionally, the defendant stated he did not look at Roberts because he was driving and watching the roadway. The defendant later stated that this memory came back to him in November and it was a memory of the night of the crash.

Depies first court appearance will be Monday, June 30.

“The extended investigation was very difficult for the family of all four occupants of the vehicle. Keep in mind the emotional and physiological trauma already suffered, will now, as a result of the criminal proceedings, bring back similar feelings and emotions. This crash was a tragedy and avoidable, it involved speed and alcohol, both deadly; in concert, more so,” wrote Dryden. — Danielle H. Moe with information from Washburn County Sheriff’s Office

No “Just One Day” for Washburn County

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — A resolution designating Wednesday, June 11, as Just One Day in Washburn County raised discussion during the regular monthly meeting of the Washburn County Board on Tuesday, May 20.

The No Kill Advocacy Center designated June 11 as a nationwide day for humane societies and animal shelters to take a pledge to not kill any savable animals.

“We have one day to raise awareness for this issue. To me it is not, you are in favor or you are opposed, it is, we need

to work together in order to resolve this issue so let’s bring some awareness to our community about what is going on,” said Hilary Neste, District 10 representative.

Michael Bobin, District 1 representative, observed that the county is not the controlling agency over the Washburn County Area Humane Society and should hear from representatives from the WCAHS before adopting a resolution that may affect them financially.

Neste sponsored Barb Lewis to speak to the board about the day. “We are asking for one day, one day to realize that there

are other options out there,” said Lewis.

“This is a fight between two separate entities and I think what we’re being asked to do here is to be the referee and I do not want to be the referee on this fight,” stated Gregory Krantz, District 13 representative. After more discussion several board members affirmed Bobin’s earlier remark about not hearing comments from the WCAHS. The resolution to adopt June 11 as Just One Day failed on a voice vote.

In other board matters: • Dane Deutsch spoke to the board dur-

ing the public comments section about his background, family and values. Deutsch is running for the 25th State Senate District as Sen. Robert Jauch announced his intention to not run for re-election.

• Beverly Stencel gave a presentation to the board on Washburn County demographics and statistics in relation to state and national figures.

• The board approved a resolution to return a tax-deeded land to a former property owner and failed a motion to set county board meeting times.

Decision from FAA on airport event in question Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — A radar run event proposed for the Shell Lake Municipal Airport at the Friday, April 25, airport committee meeting has received an unfavorable decision from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Adam Lundberg proposed the event at last month’s meeting when he learned that an identical and very popular event held in Gordon is likely to not occur.

“It is popular up there, it brings three, four hundred people up to Gordon on CTH Y for a one-day event,” said Lund-

berg. In order to hold the event it was determined that the airport would have to be closed for the event’s duration. According to Neil Petersen, airport manager, the FAA would have to sign off on the closure.

Since that meeting Peterson spoke with FAA representatives in the general aviation district office in Chicago to determine if closing the airport was an option.

“At this point the FAA has a major problem with that because we only have one runway,” said Petersen. The FAA only allows the closure of runways for

nonaviation events at facilities that have more than one runway. The chance that an aircraft would need to make an emergency landing during the event and have nowhere to land is too risky to take for a reason like this event. A similar event is held at the Osceola airport, but that airport has two runways. In addition, the FAA requires that a senior-level air traffic controller monitor the event and advise traffic to the secondary runway.

“I’m currently in the process of contacting the FAA myself to further investigate their decision. I have been advised that

the airport owned by the city of Shell Lake can be closed if/when needed or necessary without prior approval from the FAA. Generally speaking, a NOTAM is sent out and the correct markings are put on either end of the runway showing it’s closed status. Hopefully, something can be worked out as the positive response to the possibility of the radar run is overwhelming. At this time, the only location I have in mind is the Shell Lake airport,” wrote Lundberg in a Facebook chat with the Register.

Washburn County law enforcement supports Special Olympics WASHBURN COUNTY — On Thursday, June 5, law enforcement professionals from the Minong Police Department, Washburn County Sheriff’s Office, Spooner Police Department, Wisconsin State Patrol and the Shell Lake Police Department will carry the torch for Wisconsin Special Olympics. The Washburn County version of the yearly Wisconsin Law Enforcement Torch Run will begin at 8 a.m. at the DNR station on the eastern end of Minong. The torch will make its way through Minong by members of the Minong Police Department and the Minong Boy Scout Troop escorted by the Minong Fire Department.

The torch will be passed to the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office at Jack Link’s on the southern edge of Minong where it will be biked all the way to the Larsen Motors/Body Shop fitness center parking lot on the north side of Spooner. The Spooner Police Department/Shell Lake Police Department/Washburn County Sheriff’s Office will then run the torch through downtown Spooner ending at the Spooner Kwik Trip at approximately 10 a.m. At this time law enforcement will meet up with this year’s Washburn County Special Olympic team as they leave for the games in Stevens Point.

Cynthia Yoder and Jaclyn Taylor are out to prove that chewing gum helps to make one smarter by helping them concentrate. Using scientific method the two students asked a question, did some research and then made their hypothesis. To prove their hypothesis, they gave their fellow students tests allowing some to chew gum while others were not. The result was that students who chew gum while taking the test did better than those who didn’t.

Trinity Campbell set up an experiment to test if frogs had taste buds and if they had a preference to certain foods because of taste. She found out they did and learned the scientific method in the process.

Tayla Lundberg and Camryn Nasman explored how different animals react to sound waves. Using different frequencies, they recorded the animals reaction to the sounds. The animal that was the most affected by high-pitched sound waves was the goat.

Relay for Life/from page 1 “You get up in the morning and you find a scarf or a hat that is really, really cute and flashy and you put on dangly earrings and you put on makeup,” she laughs, “even if nobody is here because that is what you do and that is what I did every day.”

Schneider was strong-willed but sang praises for her family: Of Tom, her husband, who “never left her side” and her children, Betsy, Holly and Scott, with her five grandchildren who each brought her strength, purpose and joy when needed.

She also credits the amazing support and prayer network filled with people across the country, some she admits she could not recognize but firmly believes were a part of her recovery.

“I just believe it was the power of God,

it has to be because I shouldn’t be here, not with everything that happened to me.

Not with having somebody operate on you when you are having blood clots or not when you have a stroke and it’s minutes before they are going to put you out for surgery,” she said.

In the time since her battle began she has thought over her lifestyle, how much she worked, what she ate, and her family history. Today she has to watch everything she eats since her body does not function the way it used to. She, like before, remains active, enjoying outdoor activities; her favorites are gardening and kayaking. During treatment she refused to let it get the best of her, employing a pair of walking sticks that she used to make her way around the circle driveway.

As her strength grew she has moved to yoga and now a modified version of T25.

“When I looked back at the signs I could sort of see symptoms but I was working 50-plus hours a week and I didn’t pay any attention to me,” said Schneider. Schneider’s regular physicals never alerted her to the battle within, but upon reflection, health issues she had noticed like back pain, changes in stool and others all show now as red flags. Red flags she did not have time for.

Today Schneider takes that time for herself and her family. Focusing on her family and her health are her new priorities, but ever a caregiver, Schneider is hoping to start a new program for individuals battling cancer. The program will be about connecting those fighting cancer

with cancer survivors, a cancer network.

Schneider plans to roll out the program in Washburn County to begin with and to see where it goes from there.

“I found that what gave me the most hope was talking to survivors,” she said.

Schneider recommends the CaringBridge website for support and encouragement; caringbridge.com.

Rhonda Schneider is the honorary chair for the 2014 Washburn County Relay For Life and will give a speech as part of opening ceremonies on Friday, May 30.

“The biggest thing with cancer is people tend to want to roll up and you can’t do that. You need to reach out for others because it’s a battle and you can’t fight it alone.”

State patrol to begin aerial surveillance on Wisconsin highways Richard Kremer | WPR STATEWIDE - This month marks the beginning of the Wisconsin State Patrol’s aerial surveillance of the state’s highways.

Pilots from Milwaukee, La Crosse and Eau Claire will be watching the roads from their perch 1,000 feet in the air.

For more than 50 years the State Patrol has been using aircraft to monitor motorists. In

the beginning, troopers in the sky used stopwatches and sheets of paper to calculate vehicle speeds.

But now, there is radar, lasers and an automated system called VASCAR. Some motorists might have seen a part of this system while driving. White stripes near the shoulder perpendicular to the road act as cues for pilots to start and stop the timer. The VAS-

CAR system then uses that data to calculate whether the driver is speeding.

State Patrol Sgt. Steve Tape is one of those pilots, and he said the planes are a valuable tool for law enforcement.

“We see so much more from the air than what you see from the ground level,” Tape said.

Pilots also watch for tailgating and reckless

driving. When a violation is spotted, it’s reported to officers on the ground who make the actual stop. Tape said some people are caught off-guard when told they were caught by a plane.

“You hear some of the people, ‘I think it’s just being sneaky.’ Well, if you think it’s sneaky, we’ll advertise it. We’ll put it on Twitter,” he said.

Shell Lake School Board resolves three ongoing items Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake School Board accepted the resignation from a fellow board member and resolved on-going board agenda items during the board’s regular monthly meeting Monday, May 19.

Jeri Bitney, board president, read the letter of resignation submitted to the board from Steve Naglosky. In the letter he stated that the amount of time required to fully serve on the board was more than he could afford to spend.

The board referred a recommendation to pay half the cost of the hockey co-op per student back to the finance committee. Discussion at the finance committee meeting discovered that the district would lose a significant amount of money when students left the district and participate in other district’s sports program through sports co-ops.

“Financially students could leave the district and could take a lot of dollars away from our district if we don’t cover their co-op sport as other districts are doing,” said Phil Holman, finance committee representative. The threat of losing money and acknowledging the benefits for students out weighed the cost to the district to cover the co-op costs. The finance committee unanimously recommended that the school board fund the actual cost of participation for the existing hockey and soccer co-op athletic programs, excluding the existing athletic fee. The board approved the recommendation on a unanimous voice vote.

The future for the prekindergarten through second grade after-school program has been discussed at length between the finance committee and the school board since the possible loss of the program was learned. The after-

school program is losing $21,000 in grant funding, money that funds the program.

“The finance committee message was make it (the program) happen,” said Jim Connell, superintendent. Connell reported that the district’s fund balance was in a good position to fund the program for a limited time. Connell estimated that about 80 students participate in the primary after-school program. School administrators are in discussions with after-school staff on giving the program a more academic focus than in the past. On a unanimous voice vote, the school board approved to advise the administration to continue funding the prekindergarten through grade two after-school programming through a combination of fund 80, fund 10 and any grant money that my be received.

In other board actions the board held officer elections, approved several new hires

and one resignation. Bitney was solely nominated to the position of board president and was elected unanimously. Mary Ann Swan was elected as vice president, Linda Nielsen was elected as clerk, and Phil Holman was elected as treasurer.

The board approved Kristin Thomas, Anne Bryan, Bob Solum, and Heather Friess as new hires to the district. Thomas was hired as the new elementary school secretary after long-time secretary Paula “Polly” Parker submitted her resignation. Bryan was hired as a 40-percent gifted and talented coordinator and as a teacher in one class of general music. Solum was hired as a regular route bus driver and Friess was hired as a new multicategorical special education teacher.

The board also accepted the resignation from Patti Naglosky as the high school student council advisor.

• Kayla Kemp, Shell Lake, was honored at the Northwest United Educators Outstanding Students banquet held at the Rice Lake WITC Conference Center.

Kemp selected Sue Berlin as her most influential staff member.

• Helen Pederson was once again writing news for the Heart Lake community after recuperating from having knee surgery in Eau Claire.

• The Shell Lake Community Center Building Committee was approved by the Shell Lake City Council. Members assigned were Doug Downs, chairperson; Barb Peterson, city council representative; Bob Krueger, Mary Williams, Roger Lundeen, Rudy Kessler and Debby Johnson. The main thrust in re-establishing the committee was to assist the city council in determining the community center building improvements needed, review existing rates and to recommend means to increase usage.

Big Top Chautauqua gets new canvas tent Tent is 483 feet in circumference Glen Moberg | WPR BAYFIELD – Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua is putting up a brand-new, massive canvas tent for this year’s concert schedule in Bayfield.

Despite the higher cost of canvas, the Big Top managers refuse to switch to vinyl. The new tent is 483 feet in circumference, with 2,100 yards of royal blue canvas and 900 yards of pearl gray canvas.

Operations manager Phil Anich has been with Big Top Chautauqua from the start – in good weather and bad. He said the tent is a unique feature.

“The tent, there is really something special about it. It is so much like a ship, seemingly acres of canvas that are in the air, that are held down by ropes and poles,” he said. “When the wind is nailing it, when the rain is coming down so hard that you can barely hear yourself think, it’s really quite an adventure.”

But there were too many adventures for

The Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua is putting up a brand-new canvas tent for this year’s concert schedule in Bayfield, Wis. – Photo by tentradioshow.com the big top last season, according to mar-

keting director Jamey Penney-Ritter.

“We had unbelievable windstorms up here, which, when you combine it with the age of our canvas, our seams ripped, our canvas ripped,” Penney-Ritter said.

The cost of replacing the canvas tent skyrocketed, from $85,000 seven years ago to $140,000 today. And although vinyl is cheaper, Penny-Ritter said it’s not an option.

“Vinyl, it’s like a plastic wall, and the sound hits it and then comes back at you from all angles, and it’s really kind of sharp on your ears, whereas canvas is like a breathing organism,” Penney-Ritter said.

Seeing a concert inside the breathing organism is special, according to “Tent Show Radio” host Michael Perry.

“Seeing the show under canvas is absolutely special. I always say that place, it’s supposed to hold 900, but it makes them feel like a cozy dozen,” Perry said. “And the sound of the audience and the music coming off that canvas, there’s just this gentleness to it.”

It’s the fifth new tent in Big Top Chautauqua’s 28-year history.

19th-annual Family Festival planned Kids Fishing Day also June 7 SPOONER — School is ending, what a better way to celebrate summer than to attend the Washburn County Family Festival with your children or grandchildren?

The 19th-annual Family Festival will be held on Saturday, June 7, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., at the Washburn County Fairgrounds at the south end of Spooner. This event is held rain or shine; come prepared to have a good time and enjoy free food and entertainment.

As in past years, there will be fun and

exciting events and activities for children of all ages. This year there will be a horsedrawn wagon giving rides. The Spooner Police Department will again be hosting the bike rodeo. Children are encouraged to bring their own bikes. The Spooner Police Department will have prizes consisting of bike helmets and other bike accessories. The Shell Lake Cub Scouts will be bringing a giant bouncy castle.

There will also be a DJ entertaining all afternoon. Several exhibitors will have fun games and activities to stimulate creativity that all will find enjoyable. Food will be served throughout the day. Again, all events and food are free of charge.

Another exciting event this year is the fifth-annual Chuck Revak Memorial Fishing Day for kids. Revak loved the outdoors, and teaching kids how to fish was one of his many passions. To honor his memory and continue his legacy, a day to celebrate kids and fishing will be held at the Veterans Memorial Park in Spooner on Saturday, June 7, from 10-11:30 am. All fishing equipment will be provided, and plenty of trained staff will guide the kids through three different stations—casting, fish identification, and fishing rules and safety tips. This is also a free event. This event is staffed and sponsored by the Department of Natural Resources and family

and friends of Revak.

Building memories with your children and grandchildren is priceless. Time spent together is invaluable. Come make sweet memories and bring your children fishing and then over to the Washburn County Family Festival for an amazing day. What a great way to kick off summer.

Opportunity to help On Friday, May 30, the Shell Lake High School track field will be alive with activity. No, it won’t be the conference track meet. It will be the 17th-annual Washburn County American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

Cancer is a disease that touches the lives of everyone. You may be a cancer survivor. Perhaps it is your spouse, child, grandparent, friend or neighbor that has battled this life-altering disease. Cancer can affect anyone at any age.

It seemed that heart disease and stroke had claimed the majority of my deceased relatives, until in most recent years. My mom has lost both her sister and brother to lung cancer. Already in 2014, my

dad’s first cousin lost his two-year battle with leukemia and my mom’s cousin lost his 32-yearold daughter to brain cancer after her courageous six-month battle.

She left behind a husband and two young children.

It wasn’t until 2010 Washburn County Relay For Li f e Hon orary Chair Trudy Druschba shared her story in October 2013 about metastatic breast cancer for Register readers that some of

us became aware of what she was going through.

Two of my niece Emily’s friends have faced their own battles with cancer. Two years ago, friend Samantha, at age 22, went through treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Emily’s friend Ali’s 2-yearold daughter, Reagan, has undergone seven months of treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. She recently found out she will need to continue treatments. Just as her family is optimistic about her hair returning, they are also looking forward to her being declared cancer free.

Progress is being made in the fight against cancer. Unfortunately there are so many different forms of the dreaded

disease. With early detection and treatment the effects of the disease can be slowed. It takes money to not only do research; there are also administrative costs involved just like there is in any business.

This year’s relay in Shell Lake will be different than in past years. Rather than be an all-night walk, the event will be from 6 p.m. until midnight. Among all the other scheduled activities throughout the evening, the Christian band Broken Chains will be the DJ and provide music.

You may ask yourself, “What can I do in the fight against cancer?” Are you able to support the annual Washburn County Relay For Life by making a donation and perhaps joining in the walk?

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Not a real parade Mary B. Olsen henever the word parade comes up, one thinks of troops of Scouts and a band and decorated floats, with people standing along a street to cheer.

There are all sorts of parades, many of them political, or fashioned on some theme. Then there are unreal parades, like the Easter parade, which never happens. Yes, people dress up for the occasion, but they do not take to the street.

From the time I was very young, there was a new kind of parade that we could

W

hear on the radio. Every Saturday night, while my family tuned in to the “Barn Dance” on WLS from Chicago, the program that many other people heard was called “Your Hit Parade.” It was a parade of songs. That program probably attracted more listeners than us unsophisticated townspeople who liked farmer music. Some years later it became more attractive for me when I was growing up and humming popular songs with words that you couldn’t hardly shake out of your head.

The 60-minute radio program ran on radio from 1935 until 1955 and went over to TV from 1950 until 1959. The

Spooner students to be part of State Honors Music Project MADISON — The Wisconsin School Music Association State Honors Music Project brings Wisconsin’s top young musicians to work together with nationally known conductors in a highly disciplined, professional setting. Roughly 2,000 students statewide in grades 9, 10 and 11 apply each year for the chance to participate. After an intense audition process in February, approximately 430 students total were selected for membership in five different ensembles: Band, orchestra, mixed choir, treble choir and jazz ensemble.

Spooner High School Music Department students Spencer Peck, mixed choir; Annabelle Revak, treble choir; Gracia Gormong, treble choir; and Ally Jacoby, orchestra, have been invited to participate in the 2014 High School State Honors Music Project. This involves a summer camp where work will begin on a program of collegiate level repertoire. The project will culminate in a concert next fall at the Overture Center in Madison in conjunction with the Wisconsin Music Educators Conference. — from the Spooner High School Music Department

show started out on both NBC and CBS in 1936 and 1937. During its 24-year-run the show had 19 orchestra leaders and 52 singers or groups. Every Saturday night they played songs that made their top 15 list from information on sales of sheet music, phonograph recordings and songs played on jukeboxes during the week.

On Nov. 9, 1935, the maestro, Al Goodman, and his orchestra, along with featured singers, tickled the airwaves with the songs listened to by more Americans.

They began with a countdown of the least popular No. 15, leading to the dramatic three finalists, the top three songs on “Your Hit Parade,” and listeners held their breath, hoping for their favorite to be the top song for the week. It was like a beauty contest with songs. They were performed live for the radio audience.

Their first No. 1 song was “Soon,” sung by Bing Crosby. There were singers and their songs that meant a lot to people at the time, because there was a kind of romance attached to popular songs.

Boys and girls would have adopted “their song,” and young people heard the songs at dances.

Singers I remember were Wee Bonnie Baker, Dorothy Collins, Georgia Gibbs, Doris Day, and Dick Haymes, Snooky Lanson and Frank Sinatra. They say Frank didn’t stay with the show. He sang “Don’t Fence Me In” and improvised the lyrics. He thought it was too long or else he forgot the lyrics. They wanted the songs played as written.

The sponsor of “Your Hit Parade” was Lucky Strike Tobacco. In their ads they had two tobacco auctioneers taking bids as if the listeners were at a tobacco auction.

The years of World War II were stressful as men went off to war and defense plants went into production. These were the generations that faced the Great Depression and wartime, and the rationing and shortages of products at home.

Servicemen listened to the hits on the radio. Music from home was welcomed with open ears by the sailors and soldiers and those they left behind. People found some relief from their difficulties by going to movies that cost a dime or 12 cents or a quarter. Or they could be at home listening to popular music, one of the ties that bind.

Music fans could listen to find out which song made No. 1 on the hit parade. In 1950 the program went to TV and it lasted until 1959. They had a half-hour show and they could listen to the commercial jingle sung by The Hit Paraders, choral singers. Then the program ended with their goodbye song, “So Long for A While.”

So long for a while.

That’s all the songs for a while.

So long to “Your Hit Parade.”

And the songs that you picked to be played.

So long!

stories. As an example, you can go to the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward, celebrating the workers who logged the region, and then visit the boom site at Stillwater, Minn., where the logs ended up before heading to the mills, financing lumber barons mansions which still adorn many of the region’s towns. To visit either location is fascinating, yet to visit both is to get a much fuller picture of a robust industry that fueled America’s western expansion.

Visitors might also come to explore museums dedicated to the experience of European immigrants in the 19th century, to attend an Ojibwe powwow and travel through lands that have been their home for centuries. They might come for a classic North Woods lake resort experience and go canoeing down a beautiful river, where white pines still stand on sandstone and basalt bluffs.

The list goes on. It probably sounds pretty familiar to anyone who lives in east-central Minnesota or northwestern Wisconsin. The similarities are why it makes sense to look at this region as a whole, to share our goals for stewardship and prosperous communities.

National Heritage Area designation for the St. Croix watershed region could show our children and grandchildren how fortunate they are to live in a beautiful, interesting place. It could show the country that this is a destination worth traveling to and spending a couple of weeks exploring. It could provide the foundation for a small business in Minnesota to partner with a historical society in Wisconsin, a municipal government along the Namekagon to collaborate with an arts festival on the Kinnickinnic, a local business organization on the Kettle River to share resources with a tourism group promoting a festival on the Sunrise River, an Ojibwe band to work with nature centers and schools to teach native ways.

The feasibility study explains these ideas and more. It’s available at stcroixheritage.org/feasibility-study or at local libraries around the region. The Heritage Initiative Task Force is interested in feedback from everyone, and has provided a form on the website. Comments and questions can be sent to info@stcroixheritage.org.

Readers can likely think of a dozen stories and places and projects that could be part of a National Heritage Area. “Imagine the possibilities” has been an informal theme of the Heritage Initiative, and everyone is invited to use their imagination with this opportunity.

Public participation in the Heritage Initiative Editor’s note: This is the second in a four-part series about the proposed North Woods and Waters of the St. Croix National Heritage Area. Part one of this series introduced and defined what is meant by National Heritage Area status.

Danette Olsen | Special to the Register NORTHWEST WISCONSIN – Community engagement. This is a term that can be a bit of a cliché these days. It can mean many different things to generate community dialogue or to gain community input. In 2010, the citizen-led Heritage Initiative Task Force committed to robust community engagement to determine whether or not the St. Croix watershed region is worthy of designation as a National Heritage Area.

The community engagement time line and experience In August of 2010, the task force voted unanimously to begin a study of the entire watershed, 8,000 square miles, as a potential National Heritage Area. In February and March of 2011, five full-day briefings were held with business leaders, agencies, community leaders, and other key stakeholders. Taking place in St. Croix Falls, Hinckley and Spooner, the purpose of the briefings was to gather preliminary responses to the concept. Nearly 130 community leaders participated in these conversations.

Armed with advice from the briefings, the task force better understood the need for a larger study team to launch

a full-blown feasibility study. This team initially included the task force itself (12 volunteers from different parts of the watershed), the St. Croix Valley Foundation, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, and two consulting firms: Creative Community Builders and Point Heritage Development Consulting. From June 2011 through May 2013, this study team developed and carried out a comprehensive community engagement strategy. The strategy included a series of community meetings, outreach to elected officials, interviews with capac-

ity advisers, consultation with tribal nations connected to the watershed, and a communications plan. Along the way, the study team grew to include a team to implement the communications plan and nine subject-matter experts in the areas of geology, social history, environmental history, cultural resources, tribal history, and regional interpretation.

Sixteen public meetings in communities across the watershed lay at the core of the community engagement strategy.

These meetings were organized into three rounds, with each round building upon the accomplishments of the previous one. This structure helped create a broad network of citizens and organizations with a shared vision for the future of the region. Included were 10 Heritage Discovery Workshops, held in the winter and spring of 2012; four regional gatherings, fall 2012; and a final Heritage Summit, May 2012, where the findings were presented over the course of two sessions. More than 600 people participated directly in these events.

Public meetings at a glance The Heritage Discovery Workshops were held in 10 counties throughout the region and were designed to introduce the concept as well as to consider ways that National Heritage Area designation might help address local needs. The meetings provided the opportunity for participants to share key stories and cultural traditions within the region and to identify existing natural, cultural, historical and scenic resources. A total of 286 people attended the workshops, representing a combined 10,412 years of

experience in the region. This input was captured in an events record that can be viewed at stcroixheritage.org. In all, participants identified 414 stories and more than 300 important resources.

The regional gatherings invited participants to four meeting sites: Shell Lake, Taylors Falls, Minn., Hudson and Hinckley, Minn. At these gatherings, findings from the Heritage Discovery Workshops were shared and participants considered the ways in which communities throughout the watershed are interconnected. Potential interpretive themes, resources and possible boundaries for a National Heritage Area were among the topics of discussion at the regional gatherings. Approximately 200 citizens participated in these meetings.

The final community meetings were held in May 2013 with 150 citizens from across the region convening in Taylors Falls. Findings from the two-year study were presented and participants were asked to voice their support for one of four choices to share the region’s history, create economic vitality, and to steward the region’s resources in a way that would protect and honor our heritage: a) pursue national designation; b) establish a bistate heritage area; c) establish a local heritage area; or d) no action. More than 95 percent of participants voted to seek congressional designation as a National Heritage Area.

Community engagement in summary To gain designation as a National Heritage Area is no easy task, in fact it takes an act of the U.S. Congress. Therefore, a case must be made to Congress and vetted by the Department of the Interior that the area under consideration has an overarching story of national significance to share and the interpretive sites to uphold heritage tourism activities. Citizen review is beginning now of the feasibility study that makes the case that this area is deserving of national recognition for its stories and special places. If successful, the North Woods and Waters of the St. Croix National Heritage Area would be our nation’s 50th National Heritage Area.

The feasibility study is available at stcroixheritage.org/feasibility-study or at local libraries around the region. The Heritage Initiative Task Force is interested in feedback from everyone, and has provided a form on the website.

Comments and questions can be sent to info@stcroixheritage.org.

Lakers have several all-conference track athletes

ST. CROIX FALLS — The high school conference meet held Tuesday, May 20, at St. Croix Falls, brought out a night of great competition and excitement for the Shell Lake team. “As a team we were competing against a school that is in a division bigger than us who also has many excellent athletes. We knew it would be close but we knew it could be possible with the athletes we have this year. As the night ended we were second team allconference behind St. Croix Falls by five points but I could not be prouder of our athletes as many of them had the races of their lives,” praised Katrina Granzin, Laker track coach.

“We had a number of athletes stepping up for the team, trying to earn points in events they normally would not do. We had Lindsey Martin run the 100-meter hurdles, which she had not done since junior high, and she placed eighth,” explained Granzin. “Jesi Sando ran a total of 3.5 miles when she was used to 1.5 and finished second and fifth in them. Having their personal lifetime best in their events were David Brereton who jumped for the first time this year and Sheri Clark who ran her lifetime best time in the 300M hurdles. Others who had their personal best efforts were Amber Anderson in the 100 and 200M dash and almost improved in the high jump by jumping what could have been 5’ but sat on the bar, rather than arching over with her form. Marty Anderson improved his 110 hurdles. Kaelin Laub and Arianna Udovich both improved their 800M run. Lauren Osborn and Tanner Williams improved their 400, Shania Pokorny improved both her 200 and 400, and Dominic Hopke improved his 100M dash while Luke Fogelberg improved his 100 and 200M dash.”

Spring volleyball season ends for Spooner athletes

SPOONER — In April, 48 fourththrough eighth-grade girls started the first spring volleyball season in Spooner.

This was a move that Spooner head coach Melissa Smith thought was necessary to continue to be competitive with other area schools when the girls reached high school level. This also would allow students the necessary steps to learn and enjoy volleyball.

Many other area schools had already joined this Great Northwest Volleyball League, including Bloomer, Barron and Hayward. Spooner was able to have a fourth- and fifth-grade combined team, two sixth-grade teams, and a seventhand eighth-grade combined team. Along

with Smith, the teams were coached by Kristina Berget, last year’s varsity volleyball assistant; parents Sarah Hansen and Holly Kipp; and high school volleyball athletes Adriana Shabani, Dana Danger, Emily Beehler, Aspen Mullikin, Angel Scribner, Sara Taylor, Alex Grubbs and Kenzie Hanson.

Throughout the season the goals set by players and coaches were to communicate, play hard, have fun, work as a team, be positive and try your best. All coaches were impressed with how much the girls improved through the season and most of all were thrilled that the girls are enjoying the game of volleyball at a young age.

A week in sports

Butternet Hills Ladies Golf weekly winners

Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — It was a mixed week in Shell Lake sports as once again the weather was a factor and some games were canceled and others were rescheduled.

In softball, the doubleheader with Webster/Siren was canceled because of rain on Monday, May 19. On the following day, Shell Lake traveled to Medford where they came out on the losing end, 5-9. On Thursday, May 22, they played the undefeated West Lakeland Conference champs, the Grantsburg Pirates, losing 0-14 in the first game and 1-2 in the second game. The loss put Shell Lake in second place in the conference with an 8-3 record. Shell Lake will be playing Northwood in the final game on the regional

playoffs on Thursday, May 29. If they both advance, it will be a home game for the Lakers.

The baseball team had a better week,going 1-2 in conference play. Shell Lake hosted Grantsburg on Wednesday, May 21, losing the first game 3-5. They had the opportunity to come back in the fifth inning when they had bases loaded and two outs. In the second game, the Lakers did just that. Trailing 3-5 in the top of the fifth, Shell Lake scored five runs to win the game.

Shell Lake will travel to Luck to play a conference game. They will host Siren/ Webster on Friday, May 30. Shell Lake will play Northwood in the first round of the regional playoffs on Tuesday, June 3.

nce, while reading a newspaper, my young son was trying to get my attention. He had an urgent O need for me to recognize his presence and respond to

his request. But I was absorbed in the news.

“Dad,” he said, “I’m talking to you!”

“Yes, son, I’m listening,” I replied.

“I know you are listening, Dad, but can you hear me?” was his embarrassing response. There is an obvious difference between listening and hearing. It is easy to listen without recognizing the presence of the person trying to get our attention. When we actually hear someone, the message goes to our heart, and we can sense their feelings and do something about their needs.

David said, “Turn and answer me, O Lord, my God!” He feared that God had abandoned him, turned his face in the other direction and he was on his own. He was so discouraged that he felt the light of God had left his eyes and he would die. But that was only a temporary, fleeting feeling and he did not give up. In fact, he recalled God’s presence and protection in the past and knew that God would never abandon him.

So, he was able to declare, “I trust in your unfailing love!” And he turned his worry into worship.

Notice what he said, “I will rejoice” and “I will sing” - two central themes in true worship. David did not wait for his problems to pass. In the midst of his difficulties he stopped worrying and began to worship.

Why? “Because he has been so good to me!”

The first thing I have to let you know is that because of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday I’m writing this on Friday. That’s going to be my excuse for having almost no news this week.

One bit of very good news. John Schmidt called and said that he will soon be a permanent resident of Barronett again. You probably remember that John deserted us to move to Colorado a few years back. Well, he’s finally come to his senses and realized that Barronett is the best place in the world to live. Welcome home, John.

Congratulations to Makita Jerry and Devon Snowbank, our Barronett residents who graduated from Cumberland High School this past week. We all wish you the best of luck as you go out into the world as full-fledged adults.

First Lutheran in Cumberland honored their high school graduates at a baccalaureate service on Sunday, May 18. Jocelyn Olson, daughter of John and Denyse, was one of the honorees, and her little niece, Aubrey Renslow, was on hand to help with the celebration. Aubrey sat quietly on Grandpa John’s lap through the sermon, then got down and crawled all the way to the other end of the pew to sit on her dad’s lap for a while. Suddenly she noticed that Aunt Jocelyn was in the front pew

Dewey Country

Stop on by, join the fun, and get some really good deals.

We saw some little goslings swimming between their parents on Greeley Lake this past week. And the robin has hatched her eggs and we hear the little baby birds calling for food. I’m hoping to see a bear with some cubs running around soon. I don’t want to see them when I’m out walking, of course. I’d rather view them from the safety of the car, traveling down the road faster than a mama bear can run.

This is one of those sorry, I-made-a-mistake paragraphs. Last week I said that Merl Overvig takes credit for the beautiful weather we have on May 17 because that is his birthday. Well, I knew it wasn’t. May 18 is Merl’s birthday. So I guess Ron Theese can continue taking credit for the 17th, and we’ll have to give Merl credit for the 18th. Keep up the good work guys. Those have been the two prettiest days we’ve had so far this week.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Hope you can make it out to the Wiesner Chapel for the plant, craft and bake sale on Saturday. See you there.

Oh what nice weather we had last week. On Monday, May 19, it rained, leaving 1-1/2 inches of rain. But the sunshine afterward was marvelous. It’s more like spring now.

with the other graduates, and she said in her best toddler voice, “Go Goose.” She calls Jocelyn Goose. I have no idea why. Anyway, Kevin told her that she had to stay with him, and she said, “No, go Goose!” Grandma Pat convinced Kevin that it would be OK if he let her go, and she ran up to Jocelyn who picked her up and held her for quite a while, then let her down again thinking that she would return to the family. Well, Aubrey had other ideas, and immediately went up the steps to see what Pastor Tim was going to do next. He said, “Well, good morning Aubrey.” He probably was wondering if she was going to help him with the rest of the service. About that time Kevin decided it was time to go up and get the little rascal and bring her back with the family. Now, wasn’t that nice of little Aubrey to go through all that trouble just to be sure her Aunt Jocelyn’s ceremony was going perfectly.

Oh, Jocelyn is going to attend UW-La Crosse this fall.

She plans to take courses in physical therapy.

If you missed the plant sale at Cumberland ECU, you have one more chance to get some beautiful, healthy plants for a very reasonable rate. There will be a plant sale at Wiesner Chapel, which is located on CTH V, on Saturday, May 31, from 8 a.m.- 3 p.m. There will be perennials, vegetables, craft items and baked goods for sale.

Diane Hulleman went to Terraceview on Monday and helped the gals make treats for later in the week. Monday night Diane was at the Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake volunteering for the free health clinic. Otherwise Diane has been home planting and planting flowers around her house. Now she stopped at the Cumberland Care Unit to buy some flowers to plant also.

Congratulations to the senior class of 2014. May your dreams come true. It’s up to you.

Mayflowers are out and they’re so little and such pretty colors. The trilliums are out also and there’s trillions and trillions of them this spring. Must be due to the long winter we had.

Scatter sunshine.

Have a great week.

It was so beautiful on Friday as I wrote this. My pond was just like a mirror with the newly leafed out trees reflecting in it. There were lots of birds at the feeder. I have been enjoying a pair of blue buntings this year. Several folks have reported seeing them.

There are four blue eggs in the robin’s nest by my garage door. Don’t know how many days it takes for bird’s eggs to hatch. Something for me to look up.

Not that the rain wasn’t welcome but getting over another inch on Monday, May 19, was kind of untimely for farmers. Just when fields were getting about dry enough to farm on the lower ground, it put a halt to the already late planting. But that’s the gamble of farming. Gotta take one day at a time.

There were lots of fishermen going by to the lake and lots of campers going to the campground to enjoy the beautiful long weekend.

Dandelions in the lawn are aglow and the forest floor is in bloom with millions of trilliums, along with the violets and mayflowers. I counted them.

The Sarona Cemetery looked nice with the veterans’ flags that Gloria Elliott put out, and also the many new flowers on the graves for Memorial Day. The Zimmermans take great pride in keeping the cemetery neat and we thank them.

Glad to report Karl and Krista Okonek, Jaydon and Ryland got home to Okinawa, Japan, on Friday, May 23, after spending three weeks here. They had attended friend Amy Bolterman’s wedding, and lots of family gettogethers while here. Her mom, Marlene Hansen, said time went by way too fast.

The Rummels’ womens horseshoes starts on Thursday, May 29.

Linda Hines sent me a news article about her brother Andy and his wife, Hope Lombard, who live in Fairplay, Colo. While driving they had spotted a car more than 100 feet down an embankment. It’s a miracle that this 44-year-old mother of four was alive, conscious and coherent, but critically injured after freezing nights and no food and water for nearly a week. She is now improving in the hospital. Dort Lombard, Andy’s mom, of Spooner, is really proud of her 10th child and wife and we are, too.

The story was aired on NBC news also.

Classmates Jerry and Betty Ness in Texas sent me a picture of triplet baby fawns they had watched a doe give birth to in their yard. Then later she texted and said the last and littlest one had died. I haven’t heard any reports of new baby fawns sighted here but it’s the time of year to be seeing them.

What beautiful weather we are having now. It seems everyone here at Glenview is out shopping, walking or just sitting on the patio watching the world go by. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend with family.

Last Tuesday anyone who wanted could order anything from McDonald’s and it was picked up by Sue, so we could eat it here. It was very good.

This is an early deadline for news so it can get out in next week’s paper, so people didn’t have much news.

Glad to hear Marvin Mortensen is home from the hospital. Lillian Ullom visits her sister, Florence Carlson, quite often in Terraceview Living Center. And says she is better.

Louisa Schade and Margaret Jones spent the long weekend in Shell Lake and along with their sister, Lillian Ullom, were busy filling urns and decorating graves of loved ones in Shell Lake and Barronett.

Coming on Thursday to visit her sister, Arlys Santiago, was Avis Paulson of Verndale, Minn. On Friday night, they traveled to New Richmond for the graduation of

Avis’ granddaughter.

Scholarships presented by cooperative

ICCPA, publisher of the Register, Leader and Advertisers, presents total of $6,000 to area graduates

FREDERIC – For the 15th consecutive year, the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, which produces the Inter-County Leader and Washburn County Register newspapers and the Advertisers, has presented scholarships to graduates at schools in the area.

This year, the cooperative presented $6,000 in scholarships to eight area schools – Frederic, Grantsburg, Siren, Webster, Luck, Shell Lake, St. Croix Falls and Unity.

ICCPA publishes the only cooperative-owned weekly newspapers in the nation, established in 1933 by area farmers who sought a voice.

The cooperative has presented at least one scholarship to area graduates since 1989. In 1998, the cooperative began giving its $300 scholarship to a graduate at each of the seven public schools in Burnett and Polk counties, and the cooperative’s board of directors voted that same year to raise the amount to $750, beginning with the 1999 scholarships.

In 2005 Shell Lake became the eighth area public school to receive the cooperative’s yearly award.

Recipients of the scholarships are chosen based on academic excellence, an interest in journalism or photography and on recommendation by scholarship committees.

Receiving the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association scholarships this year were Whit-
