Stories from the NW Wisconsin community

Rosemarie Vezina Braatz made a difference by telling stories about history and the citizens of the St. Croix Valley

%HJLQQLQJV Staring out from a 60-year-old photograph, a young woman sits at the editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk in a newsroom of the University of Wisconsin - Madison newspaper with three colleagues, all males, gathered around her. It was a quintessential moment for Braatz, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn English until she entered kindergarten. The eldest of eight children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and only daughter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; born to hardworking German immigrant parents Fritz and Betty Gawlitta, she grew up in a rooming house in downtown Milwaukee, always making her parents proud at her outstanding grades in school and an unstoppable ambition that led her to a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism at UW-Madison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a very bright journalism student,â&#x20AC;? recalled her friend and fellow historian Durand Blanding, who was a freshman in law school at UW-Madison LQ ZKHQ KH Ă&#x20AC;UVW PHW %UDDW] ZKR KDG married Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childhood friend, Jack

The column and books introduced her to thousands of new readers. Braatz died on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, at the age of 82, the last few years of her life spent battling medical complications which led to her entering a nursing facility, according to a son, Martin. A celebration of life on Tuesday, Nov. 18, was expected to produce an array of colorful stories about the woman who felt compelled to tell the stories of others.

Webster School honors vets with multimedia program

Jean Koelz|Staff writer WEBSTERâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Undaunted by a snowstorm that prompted school cancellations, the Webster School District rescheduled its Veterans Day program for Thursday, Nov. 13. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program featured live music, speakers, dramatic readings, a PowerPoint presentation and special guests. After volunteers from the Otis Taylor American Legion Post 96 of Webster presented colors, Principal Josh Hetfeld led the student body and guests in the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem, which was performed by the high school choir. In his speech to students, Hetfeld listed U.S. Census Bureau statistics regarding veterans. Of the 19.6 million veterans alive today, Hetfeld commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did it for duty and for love of country, and ask nothing in return.â&#x20AC;? He also urged students to honor veterans at every opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One way to honor our veterans is every time you hear the national anthem,â&#x20AC;? Hetfeld proposed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful time to UHĂ HFW RQ KRZ WKHLU VDFULĂ&#x20AC;FHV KDYH PDGH your lives what they are today.â&#x20AC;? The high school band performed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask Not: A Musical Tribute to John F. Kennedyâ&#x20AC;? by James Swearingen with an introduction and narration by phy ed and health teacher Rob Scherrer. The band also performed the anthems for each branch of the military while a slide show presented the photos and service records of school community members. Additionally, veterans in the audience were invited to stand as they heard their branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anthem. The guest speaker was Webster graduate Donald Taylor. Taylor is a former PLOLWDU\ SROLFH RIĂ&#x20AC;FHU ZKR KDV VHUYHG as the Burnett County sheriff and is currently the chairman of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;America is the greatest country in the history of the world,â&#x20AC;? Taylor told the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that way by sitting back and letting others do what needed to be done.â&#x20AC;? Taylor reviewed the history of Veterans Day and talked about the need to do oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duty. He also quoted Ronald Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1967 California gubernatorial inaugural address: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from

It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have

never known it again. Taylor concluded his speech by quoting a portion of Ralph Waldo Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voluntaries,â&#x20AC;? and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of us who have served stand ready

to do it again.â&#x20AC;? Three middle school students volunteered to read papers they had written about members of their families who had served in the military, and how their service affects what Veterans Day now means to them. After the playing of taps, the colors were solemnly retired and students were dismissed.

The Great No L Conspiracy

iven all my years around the fringes of humanity, I reckoned Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d reached the point where nothing could surprise me. As a 327-year-old forest gnome, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen lots of twists and turns, even here in the Yellow River country. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Indian tribes, fur traders, missionaries, pioneers and tourists pass through, observed towns grow, railroads built and then dismantled. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even seen odd folks called history buffs trying to re-create the past via historic presentations at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. But lately Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run into a new curiosity, the Great No L Conspiracy. Just the other night I overheard someone wishing their friends a â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy No L.â&#x20AC;? No L, I thought â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some conspiracy afoot to remove the letter L from the alphabet? Or ... who will save us? Could this be the First No L? Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why those suspicious elves even exist. Perhaps their real purpose, other than hammering out trinkets for Santa Claus, is to prevent No L season? Now, you must understand that we gnomes can hardly stand the thought of elves amongst usâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or trolls or goblins, come to think of it. But elves are the worst. Doing good deeds for huPDQV LV Ă&#x20AC;QH EXW 6DQWD DQG KLV WRDGLHV should go about it in gnome fashion, behind the scenes, not always needing attention. But now perhaps I understand a tad better.

Much to my chagrin, elves have certainly been busy around Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park, decorating the historic siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitors center and grounds for a thumping good time. The holiday celebration will roll out the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 6-7, starting at 11 a.m. each day. After a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pause, the place revs up again on Saturday, Dec. 13, closed the second Sunday, though, probably so the elves can recover. While the elves are busy fending off the No L thugs, their special elf assistant, Nancy Meindel, has taken on the onerous task of coordinating the fun stuff. She describes Christmas at the Fort as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a feast for the senses. There are plenty of activities for the young and not so young, sleigh rides, storytelling, live holiday music, an elves (groan) store for children under 13, face painting, gift shop, silent auction, and lots to eat, including lunch and soup items in the Wild Rice Cafe or outside by the Ă&#x20AC;UH DQG RI FRXUVH 6DQWD DQG WKH 0UV will be welcoming visitors to the schoolhouse/gingerbread house.

Shop in Polk County â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lower your property taxes POLK COUNTY - With the holiday shopping season about to kick into high gear, Polk County residents can help lower their property taxes with a swipe of the credit card or a cash purchase. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Orange Friday or whatever color shopping day you prefer, keep it local, in Polk County. The Polk County Tourism and Promotion Council reminds everyone to shop locally and lower your taxes. At the same time keep our friends in business and our communities growing. Polk County is one of many counties that have enacted a half-percent sales tax that is used to directly reduce the county property tax levy.

Over the past several years, the amount of sales tax revenue that is subtracted from the Polk County tax levy has been steadily increasing, and several months in 2013 and 2014 had record sales tax numbers. Shopping for the holidays in Polk County could help reduce property taxes by more than as $2.5 million. Why pay around $3 a gallon for gas to drive out of Polk County to shop and help someone else lower their property taxes, or help build a new stadium for the Vikings? Keep the dollars here, spend them in Polk County, supporting our neighborhood businesses and lowering taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Polk County Tourism and Promotional Council

churches in the Falun and Alpha areas for collection and distribution of the canned goods, Trinity in Falun, and the Chicken Coop Church in Alpha. Since Trinity already offers free bread every Friday, that was a natural location for the canned goods offering, too. According to Peter Johnson, mission developer of the CCC, it is important that people understand that this free food is for everyone. Anyone who wants any of it is welcome to come and take what is needed. And Carl Heidel, pastor of Trinity, added a reminder that the free bread is available at Trinity every Friday except for the Friday after Thanksgiving. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; submitted

FALUN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the holiday season coming on, a local business and two area churches have teamed up to offer free canned goods and free bread to anyone who would like them. The food and bread will be given out at Trinity Lutheran Church in Falun on Friday, Nov. 21, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. or until everything is gone. Rachel Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, owner and operator of the Cuts and Curls beauty salon in Webster, initiated the drive to gather the canned goods.

Valdemar â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wallyâ&#x20AC;? Peder Johansen Main Street in Milltown for a few years and made many friends. He joined a hunting group, The Highland View Lodge, with other Milltown friends: Ray Shern, Carol Cogswell, Al Sorenson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shortyâ&#x20AC;? Beaulieu, John Dann, Swede Johnson, Bob Blumgren, Erling Nielsen and Art Shern. All of his life he enjoyed deer hunting in Wisconsin, and even made a few elk hunting trips out west. The most fun for Wally was the hours spent with his sons and grandsons at â&#x20AC;&#x153;the shack.â&#x20AC;? He loved to play poker or cribbage, to enjoy a cocktail and to tell a tale or two. Laughing was his trademark; he was quick to smile and to make others laugh. In later years it was more the cards, the storytelling and spending time with his boys that made hunting so much fun for him. After Indianhead Wood Products was gone, he worked for many years installing for Ossit Furniture out of Janesville, Wis. This work took him all around the country. He spoke often about working in New York City, but he also could name a church in many Wisconsin towns where he had installed pews or chancel furniture. In 1968, Wally and Pauline moved to Lakewood, Colo. Wally took a job working for former Luck businessman Clyde Brown running Western Seating, a church furniture factory located in Golden, Colo. While living in Lakewood, Wally joined American Legion Post 17 in Edgewater, Colo. He was very involved in the post, including the design and building of a new facility, and was elected commander. He was a lifetime member of the American Legion and the VFW. He took great pride in the fact that his front license plate on his car was the VFW Lifetime Member plate. In 1970, he and Pauline divorced and he moved to Wheat Ridge, Colo. One of his employees at the time was from Belmond, Iowa, and eventually there was a job offer from Four Seasons Cabinetry of Belmond, Iowa. So in 1975 he moved to Goodell, Iowa, and began making new friends. He golfed at the Klemme Golf Course and eventually joined the board of directors there. He spent time with friends at the VFW, where he met the bartender, Evalee Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole, which started the beginning of a relationship that was meant to be. Eventually, Valdemar opened Johansen Cabinetry in Belmond, Iowa, and began doing custom cabinetwork. His product included the design, handcraftsmanship DQG LQVWDOODWLRQ RI Ă&#x20AC;QH ZRRG SURGXFWV %XVLQHVV ZDV good, and his work was in demand until he decided to retire. His shop space was rented from Jim Swenson, who soon grew to be like another son to Valdemar, and when Jim later married Janette, another daughter was added to Valdemarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. Valdemar and Evalee were married in 1988 and enMR\HG IXQ Ă&#x20AC;OOHG \HDUV WRJHWKHU 7KH\ ORYHG EDOOURRP GDQFLQJ DQG VSHQW PDQ\ HYHQLQJV RQ WKH GDQFH Ă RRU ,Q IDFW LI WKHUH ZDV D Ă DW VXUIDFH WKH\ ZRXOG OLNHO\ GDQFH on it. They bought a travel trailer after they retired and began to spend winters down south. One of Valdemarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals was to wear shorts every day of the year. Several years were spent in Arkansas at the Charlton National Forest Campground where they served as host and hostess. Wally was the handyman and the two of them groomed the campsites to perfection. Several more winters were spent in Hemphill, Texas, FDPSLQJ LQ D Ă&#x20AC;VKLQJ YLOODJH DQG HQMR\LQJ WKH PLOG weather. Then they found a spot in Rockport, Texas, Harbor Light. This was a fun village of snowbirds with events catering to that group. They made lifelong friends during these winter stays. Once they were done pulling a trailer to Texas, they continued to drive down and stay in an inn near Rockport that catered to folks from up North who wintered in the warm climate. Close friends were made over penny poker games and good Mexican food.

Cribbage was his game. He loved to play, and many times he was the winner and then could have fun teasing his losing opponent, which usually led to another game or two. He played weekly with a group at his apartment building in Belmond and often came home a winner. Many summers were spent in the Town of Sterling in a cabin owned by son Ralph. Wally and Ev loved feeding and watching the birds, seeing the wildlife, keeping the cabin grounds maintained, having coffee on the front porch and a nightcap on the back porch. They loved their time in the woods and took care of this cabin as if it was their own. In the early 1950s, the 62nd Battalion of the Navy Seabees began having reunion gatherings. Valdemar attended as many of these as he could. His Seabee mates meant a lot to him and he was proud of his and their service during WWII and on Iwo Jima. Somewhere in the 1990s, Wally and Ev became the custodians of that group and their reunion planning. It was a labor of love and something that they were devoted to. The last gathering of this group marked their 61st reunion. Wally was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joeâ&#x20AC;? to this group, and he was the glue that kept folks in contact through the years. He was patriotic WR WKH ERQH KH UHVSHFWHG WKH Ă DJ DQG KH ORYHG KLV FRXQtry. In 2009, Wally was part of an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.

This has been inscribed on the Johansen headstone bench at the West Denmark Cemetery. Valdemar is survived by his sister, Johanne (Thorvald) Hansen of Des Moines, Iowa; sons, Ralph (Lois) of Luck, Wis., and Glenn (Kathy) of Spring Valley, Wis.; and daughters, Wanda of Rice Lake, Wis., and Laila of Aurora, Colo. Also left to carry on his legacy are grandsons, Ryan (Camilla), Kyle (Heather), Kris (Lora), Andrew (Michelle) and Dana (Erin); granddaughters, Angie (Aaron) Chivers, Krista (Mark) Loyas and Kaija (Mike) Vanasse; and more than 25 great-grandchildren, two step-greatgrandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Additionally Valdemarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephews and nieces mourn his passing. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Ansgar and Frederikke Johansen; brothers, Halvdan and Christian; sister, Ane Marie James; and great-grandson, Drew Chivers. Just 56 days before his death, he lost his beloved wife of 26 years, Evalee Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole Johansen. This was a shocking blow to Wally and he missed her so very much. But, he said of this loss, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have accepted that this has happened, I realize I cannot do anything to change it and now I just have to get the right attitude about it.â&#x20AC;? These words have brought comfort to his children as they deal with the shock of losing their dad. Wally and Ev never missed watching â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing with the Starsâ&#x20AC;? together, no doubt missing the dancing that they had done together for so many years, so now, together again, we believe that they are dancing in the stars. Memorials may be sent to West Denmark Lutheran Church, 2478 170th St., Luck, WI 54853 or Luck Alumni Scholarship Fund Association, P.O. Box 251, Luck, WI 54853.

Valdemar was born in Luck, Wis., to parents Jens AnVJDU DQG )UHGHULNNH -RKDQVHQ +H ZDV RQH RI Ă&#x20AC;YH FKLOdren. Halvdan, Ane Marie and Christian all preceded him in death, leaving sister Johanne to mourn. He passed peacefully early Sunday morning, Nov. 2, 2014, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire from complications of surgery. His heart slowed to a stop as if he gently had his foot on the brake as he approached his destination. Valdemar lived 92 years with good health and a big smile. He was living in Belmond, Iowa, at the time of his death. A memorial service and interment of ashes will be held on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014, at 2 p.m., at West Denmark Lutheran Church in Luck, Wis. Coffee will follow at West Denmark Parish Hall. Valdemar attended school at Laketown School and Luck High School in Luck. School was important, but community in those days revolved around the West Denmark Church and the youth groups associated with the church. His mother was one of nine children with seven sisters; all but one of those sisters raised their families LQ WKH :HVW 'HQPDUN DUHD $ERXW Ă&#x20AC;UVW FRXVLQV FDOOHG West Denmark home and they were all close friends and enjoyed spending their youth together in work and play. Wally enjoyed folk dancing as a young man and he was part of a group that performed in Danish costume. But he really loved dancing of all kinds, and he shared fun stories of Dunham and Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Calderwood, West Sweden and other dance halls in the area. Valdemar played the violin as a young man and just recently put new strings on it and was hoping to give it another try. He went by Wally but he always preferred Valdemar and it made him smile when new acquaintances pronounced it correctly. Conversely, he did not appreciate when anyone pronounced it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vlademeer,â&#x20AC;? and he would give the unlucky person the business if they made that mistake. As a young man, Valdemar spent time in the Dakotas during threshing season. Old photos show him there ZLWK KLV Ă&#x20AC;UVW FRXVLQV $DJH 3HWHUVHQ DQG 9HUQRQ 3Htersen. A few years ago, he reconnected with the family where he had stayed and worked in Lidgerwood, N.D. He told of one winter when he and his dad, Ansgar, cut fence posts out of a tamarack swamp near their home on CTH N. Wally said this was the most fun he ever had in the winter, working with his dad every day. He worked with his dad and Niels Mortensen on many projHFWV DURXQG WKH FRPPXQLW\ DV KH Ă&#x20AC;QH WXQHG KLV WUDGH RI cabinetmaking and learned a few other trades. Wally also lived in California for a few years and worked as a milk tester. There were friends and relatives living in the Solvang area and he really enjoyed this work. He had an offer to return to California after the war to take a job as county agent, but stayed in Wisconsin instead. Valdemar served proudly with the U.S. Navy Seabees, 62nd Battalion, who were attached to the 5th Division of the U.S. Marines during the battle at Iwo Jima. In preparation for arriving in Iwo Jima, he spent time on Maui and Oahu, Hawaii, to break in big equipment and also to learn their operation. He was honorably discharged in 1945 on Dec. 17 as a carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mate third class.
