Baltderdash to perform in Shell Lake this weekend

SHELL LAKE — Eau Claire saxophonist Sue Orfield returns to the Shell Lake Arts Center with her band Balterdash on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. in the Erika Quam Memorial Theatre. Orfield knew what she wanted to play the moment she heard a tenor saxophone on the radio while riding on a school bus as a child. She picked up the horn in fifth grade, at age 10, and it came naturally. She has played piano even longer, since first grade, and still uses the keyboard to write music and accompany her students. Today, Orfield is a freelance musician who leads and plays in several bands. She has been on the stage wth Bo Diddley, Bobby McFerrin, the Indigo Girls, Ann Wilson (Heart), Dizzy Gillespie, Ivan Neville and Jo Dee Messina. You can find her performing in the Twin Cities a couple of times a month and across Wisconsin. Her ties to Shell Lake run deep: She attended the Arts Center as a high school camper and has taught at its jazz camps several times. Balterdash features Orfield with Dustin DeGolier, who also teaches at the Arts Center’s Rock Band Camp each summer, John Utphall, Randy Sinz and, new

HHS students to perform fall play 'The Liar'

Hayward High School Drama Club members will present their next great performances Friday through Sunday Nov. 6, 7 and 8 at the ADS Auditorium. The student thespians are diving into Carlo Goldoni’s “The Liar” in Tunk Yalman’s vibrant translation, a play about storytelling—both the intoxication of exaggeration and its inevitable consequences. They grapple with the questions: What is truth? Why do we lie? And what happens when our lies spiral out of control? “Join us and find yourself laughing at Lelio’s audacity, cringing at his close calls, and perhaps recognizing a bit of yourself in his predicament. After all, we’re all storytellers in our own lives,” said Play Director Mike Anderson. “The question Goldoni poses is: Can we learn to tell the truth before our lies catch up with us?” Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday Nov. 6-7 and 1:30 p.m. Sunday Nov. 8. Admission is $5 per person; students are admitted free.

Night riders protect livestock from wolves

MADISON — If you look up the definition of “night rider,” you’ll find the word has a disturbing history. Here it is. “A night rider is a member of a secret group that rides on horseback at night to commit acts of violence, terror and intimidation.” Night riders on ATVs, not horseback, are now roaming selected locations in northern Wisconsin with the intention of intimidating, maybe even terrorizing, a small segment of our outdoor Wisconsin wolves. Night riders, also called range riders in more polite circles, provide a non-lethal management tool that uses a continuous human presence in areas experiencing a high degree of wolf predation with the intent of deterring wolves from preying on high value domestic animals. Dan Hirchert is the state director of Wildlife Services, the arm of the federal Department of Agriculture the WDNR contracts with to address wild animal complaints. “Range riding can be an effective tool and is used throughout the country to prevent predations where other methods are not feasible or have failed. It’s a time-consuming endeavor that does have its own risks for staff, especially those working during night hours. Wildlife Services conducts range riding when other nonlethal options are not as
