Foreclosures down slightly statewide

Making a colorful splash

Extension resource shows Washburn County filings

WASHBURN COUNTY — Housing foreclosures remained high but declined slightly across the state in the first quarter of 2011 according to data compiled by the University of Wisconsin-Extension Center for Community and Economic Development and the UWWhitewater.

Overall, there was a slight decline of 3.4 percent in foreclosures statewide from the fourth quarter of 2010 and a decline of 14.4 percent from the first quarter of 2010. Total foreclosures fell from 7,620 in the first quarter of 2010 to 6,519 in the first quarter of 2011. At the time of publication, data from Portage County was not yet included in the state totals. Milwaukee County continued to account for the greatest percentage, 22 percent, of foreclosures in the state for the first quarter of 2011. Calculations are based on nonduplicated foreclosure cases filed in civil court for each Wisconsin county.

From the fourth quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011, the number of housing foreclosures in Washburn County rose from 23 to 27.

However, the first quarter of 2011 foreclosure number was down eight from the first quarter

No wireless Internet access

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – The Information Technology Committee of Washburn County voted Monday, May 16, to not put wireless Internet access in the senior center or the courthouse. The router was offered as a gift for the county; however, the cost of installation and setup would run approximately $400 according to Tom Miller, IT director.

“I’m not hip with this,” said Tom Mackie, IT chairperson, after hearing the possibility of security issues becoming a problem.

Miller explained that if wireless Internet access is offered, “the county would be held responsible and have to pay fines if illegal downloads were being made (with the county’s wireless access).”

The committee received only a limited amount of interest shown for the wireless access to the courthouse and only a limited amount of usage would be planned for the Shell Lake Senior Center. The IT committee has voted against setting up the wire-

less access at this time. It was noted that if there was more interest in the access shown, the IT committee may act at that time.

The initial request came from the aging committee. All other senior centers in the county pay for their own Internet access.

The senior center, however, is connected

with the county.

The committee asked Miller what the court’s take was on the issue. Miller answered, “They’ve had people that ask for it. The judge has no problem with it.

They do have a lot of downtime when you are sitting in the courts waiting for things to go on. And rather than taking a recess to go get a fax, they can just get an e-mail right there in the courts. There is a lot of timesaving and efficiency things like it.

The judge would be the one to say ‘no.’ He doesn’t want it upstairs. We could charge for it - $25-30 a year - and they wouldn’t have a problem with that.”

“I’d like to see a proposal coming out of the court,” said Mackie.

“If they really want it, they can come back and ask for it,” said William Allard.

So, all interested parties are asked to submit their requests to the information technology committee of Washburn County.

about the ships visit. “I followed the progress of the tall ships across the lake online and was concerned about a major storm brewing in the West.”

When she got to Superior and asked around, she found out one of the vessels outran the storm and was docked in Superior Harbor early, safely moored to a rusty ore dock. It was the Pride of Baltimore, and tied up under the ship’s bow was a small red inflatable dingy. “I found my lifeboat,” she wrote in the book’s narrative.

Springett wrote about her father, an avid sailor, who served aboard PC-491 during World War II, running the coast between Brazil and the southern United States. “When I was in Duluth around the ships, water and seagulls, I felt a connection to my father, who taught us children all things nautical,” she said. The book is dedicated to him, her mother and her husband.

In addition to her full color photos, Springett describes each of the nine ships and summarizes their history. One of the ships was the HMS Bounty II, built as replica of the original Bounty, the subject of the book and movie classic, “Mutiny on the Bounty.” Other ships included the Europa, the Roald Amundsen, the USS Niagra, the Roseway, the Denis Sullivan, the Zeeto and the Coaster II.

Leadership Washburn County graduates more than 100

MAY 18, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3

10th anniversary of nonprofit group

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – On Friday, May 13, the Leadership Washburn County held graduation at the Erica Quam Memorial Theatre in Shell Lake.

State Sen. Robert Jauch presents Jenni Hughes with a plaque on her graduation.

The leadership class for 2011 is: Carol Buck, Missy Gauger, Jenni Hughes, Deb Meyer, Jamie Morales, Michael Richter, Richard Rosen, Steve “Fluffy” Sather, Will Stewart, Michelle Voight, Jeri Walker, Nicole Weinstock and Missy Wienbergen. Keynote speaker for the event was Sen. Robert Jauch.

Leadership Washburn County is a nonprofit organization with the stated purpose of developing current and future leaders in Washburn County by of-

fering a high-quality training program that emphasizes leadership skill development while focusing on the current issues facing the region.

Richard Rosen, a conservation warden supervisor stationed in the Spooner DNR office, spoke about his experience in the program.

“Our greatest strength in leadership is truly at a personal level,” he said. “It’s the people that are the biggest asset in any organization and community. And those are the folks we need to support.”

Rosen said his father taught him a valuable lesson: “Integrity and trust are paramount to anywhere you go.

Whether it is on the job, in the community or in your marriage - it’s about doing the right thing at the right time for the right reasons.”

Jauch congratulated the graduating

of 2010, a 23-percent decline.

“While the slight downturn in foreclosures appears hopeful, recent changes in banking practices to avoid foreclosure filings may also be having an impact,” says Laura Brown, community development specialist with UW-Extension.

“Other factors impacting filings may include unemployment rates and the availability of foreclosure mediation.”

Nevertheless, Brown says, it will take many years of declines to return to the levels more common in the years 20002005, where foreclosure cases averaged 9,369 per year. Current foreclosures are triple that average with 28,453 cases in 2010.

“Despite the steady numbers in 2010, foreclosures remain a serious issue for many areas of the state,” says Russ Kashian, a UW-Whitewater economist who focuses on housing and foreclosure issues. “The problem is no longer just about subprime mortgages. Many of the

foreclosures in Wisconsin’s communities can be more directly linked to income levels and long-term unemployment.”

Kashian estimates that for every 1-percent increase in unemployment, there is a corresponding 7 to 11 percent increase in foreclosures.

Extension community economic development specialist Matt Kures created maps to highlight how foreclosures varied in counties across the state at http://fyi.uwex.edu/housing/.

It should be noted that significant percentage increases in some very rural counties across the state, including Washburn County, represent a comparatively small number of foreclosures.

class and shared about his own life experiences and spoke on the importance of our community.

“I can’t tell you what a delight it is to be amongst you,” Jauch said. “How inspiring it is for me to listen to you. How encouraged and hopeful I am. How hopeful I am for our future. I’ve heard a lot of speeches this last week. I’ve given a few. Most of the speeches didn’t offer encouragement or inspiration. So it’s an absolute delight to be amongst a group of dedicated citizens who understand that their responsibility is not to look out for themselves, but to look out for the better interest of all.

“This is a wonderful program because it is a program that empowers individuals to have a greater sense of influence in helping their community and enriching the lives of others. It helps them gain their confidence and realize that leadership community involvement is not lim-

ited to people with tie-ins, people with resources, people who are officials, but there is a duty of each and every citizen to do what they can to create what we call a community.”

Jauch continued, “We are the United States of a deeply divided America. We are so polarized by politics, by labels, Republican, Democrat, liberal and conservative, red, blue, by a religion; that isn’t the America that we grew to love. That isn’t the American dream we sought after. The America that we have grown to love is an America where Americans come together, not just on the Fourth of July to celebrate a parade, but in patriotic duty they work together as a community as one to see what they can do to improve. There lies the spirit of America.

And improve the lives of others.”

Jauch said he has no doubt students will leave this program more enriched.

“Some people think life goals are to gain material wealth - to have larger homes, to have more cars, to have more material possessions. You very clearly have demonstrated that there is a greater richness in life. And that is that you have a gift that can be passed on to someone else ... this program opens your eyes to things that are there, but because we are so busy in our daily lives, we just don’t pay as much attention.”

Diann Parker, president of Leadership Washburn County, noted that this is the 10th anniversary of the organization and the graduating class of 2011 brings the total participants up to 109 individuals that have gone through the program and graduated.

Persons who live or work in Washburn County and interested in challenging themselves and giving back to Washburn County are asked to contact Beverly Stencel, at the U.W. Extension office at 715-635-4444.

Board shops for new school bus

The Shell Lake Board of Education approved a motion for Boyd Anderson, transportation supervisor, to purchase a new school bus. Anderson has been comparing prices and shopping for the best value for the school district. Anderson said, “If they (the board of education) didn’t approve the purchase of it now, it would have had to be put in the budget for next year.” The first choice is the Micro-Bird G5 school bus, which will seat up to 22 passengers and have a hydraulic system for a wheelchair lift. According to national safety standards, Girardin’s G5 dual-rear-wheel school bus is a safe and reliable choice. With a standard interior height of 76 inches and a capacity of up to 22 passengers, Girardin’s innovative G5 design is known for its dependability and low maintenance costs.

Rivard’s Rural Jobs Act sent to governor

RICE LAKE — Rep. Roger Rivard’s, RRice Lake, first piece of legislation passed the Senate recently and will be sent to the governor for his signature.

The legislation is designed to expand the very successful economic development zone program to rural Wisconsin.

“This is a critical moment for rural Wisconsin,” said Rivard. “We have started to see a genuine change in Wisconsin’s business climate since the enactment of several Republican-led bills, most of which received bipartisan support. The signing of this bill into law will be a major step in creating jobs and moving Wisconsin forward.”

The bill, which passed the Senate by 26-7, will increase the number of allowable economic development zones by eight and requires that five of those zones be located in rural areas. The bill has already passed the Assembly 79-12.

The program has proven extremely successful thus far. It has helped create or save 7,400 jobs. In addition to being a successful program, the state has recouped $28.4 million more than it has invested.

“This legislation delivers everything a jobs bill should,” said Rivard. “Companies appreciate freeing up the extra capital, communities like the extra tax base that the workforce delivers, and most importantly, people are able to work and support their families.

“It’s time to turn things around for our rural areas. Our rural communities are so important to this state in every way.

It’s about time that Madison focused on rebuilding them and making them stronger. As long as I represent the 75th, that’s exactly what I’ll do.” — from the office of Rep. Rivard

Letters to the editor

Why we oppose separation of UW-Madison from the UW system

The governor’s proposed state budget would split the University of WisconsinMadison from the rest of the UW system.

It is our profound belief that splitting the UW system will not only limit the ability of Wisconsin’s best and brightest students to attend our flagship campus but will also damage Wisconsin’s global reputation as an outstanding public university system.

We will risk losing the strong ties between UW-Madison and the regional campuses that enable thousands of students to earn degrees from a world-class institution.

UW-Madison is an outstanding resource for the state and should remain part of the UW system.

At present, 65 percent of UW-Madison freshmen come from Wisconsin. Competition for admission is fierce: An average of 25,000 students apply for approximately 5,700 spots in a typical freshman class. If accepted, students receive a top-notch education at a tuition now set at approxi-

mately $9,000 per academic year. This tuition is within the financial reach of many working families, especially when compared to tuition at Wisconsin’s private colleges, which averages $23,215 a year.

If UW-Madison separates from the UW system, its tuition is likely to soar. Take, for example, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, an outstanding public university that is not part of a cohesive statewide higher education system. Currently, instate undergraduate upperclassman tuition is more than $13,000 per academic year.

With a major increase in tuition, many lower- and middle-income Wisconsin families will have to tell their children that they simply can’t afford to send them to the UW-Madison. While the doors to UWMadison will continue to remain open to bright young men and women from families with comfortable incomes, its doors may close to families with modest incomes.

Wisconsin’s economy depends on an ed-

ucated, skilled workforce, and the UW system is critical to driving economic growth in the state. Making it harder for students to pay for UW-Madison will limit Wisconsin’s competitiveness in a global, knowledge-based economy. In today’s economic environment, we must focus on increasing Wisconsin’s competitiveness through development of an educated workforce with strong connections to the state.

Separation of UW-Madison will also damage the relationships among the UW campuses. A student can enroll at any of the UW colleges for $4,600 per academic year. After earning an associate’s degree, those students are guaranteed the right to transfer to UW-Madison if they have earned a grade-point average of at least 2.8 on a 4-point scale. Additionally, students enrolled at any of the universities within the UW system currently have access to all materials housed within the UW-Madison libraries. Will such ties continue if the sys-

tem is split apart? We fear the answer will be no.

Students and faculty throughout the UW system have benefited from the close relationship between regional campuses and UW-Madison. We sincerely hope that this relationship continues. Chancellors of the regional campuses have urged the Legislature to keep the system together but to grant financial flexibilities to the regional campuses as well. We urge you to contact your state legislators to let them know that you want the best for our students and our state. A unified UW system is the best way to maintain Wisconsin’s access to affordable high-quality higher education.

I’m responding to Mr. Macomber’s letter regarding the zoning violation within Little Bear Addition. Macomber states that he has received threats without clarifying to readers. Threat is a serious word. I actually had one individual ask if we had suggested to Macomber that a trip to the woodshed was in order.

In truth, the threat that 16 Little Bear Addition residents have spoken of is to file litigation requiring zoning to enforce the existing regulations. Individuals have been filing actions involving government bodies dating all the way back to the BC era when a Roman citizen filed suit against Nero for playing his violin too loud. Ma-

comber is dead wrong. He works for Washburn County not individual members of the board of supervisors. They hired him ... and they can fire him ... but it is illegal for him to take direction from any of them as to enforcement of current zoning regs.

There are three branches of county government. The board legislates, the zoning administrator (per his job description) enforces, and the judiciary interprets laws and regulations when there is a dispute.

The current zoning regs define a resort as a “parcel of land, open to the public, that is used primarily for providing resort units and dwelling units.” It states further that a resort unit may contain only one dwelling

unit. Additionally, the 3rd District Court of Appeals recently held in Polk County versus Bloomer (Case No. 2004FO1138) that single-family residences advertised to the public for short-term rentals with a recreational purpose was a “resort.”

Current Washburn County zoning regs permit resorts only in residential-recreation districts and even then they require a conditional-use permit. Finally, even lodging houses in a R-1 (residential) District require a conditional-use permit to operate. Sec 254.61(6) of the Wisconsin Admin Code defines a lodging house as a dwelling where “sleeping accommodations are offered for pay to tourists or transits.”

The 16 residents of Little Bear Addition are not threatening Macomber … simply demanding that he do his job, which is enforcement of the current regulations available online to any reader, including the zoning administrator.

The Little Bear property in dispute advertises online with a capacity of 14 for rentals as short as three days. How many Washburn County citizens would relish the prospect of 1,400 different strangers coming and going next door to their wife and children each year?

“Recall of legislators because of a disagreement with a vote they cast is a dangerous precedent.” “Election results do matter. The next election is the time to voice disagreement.”

I agree with both statements.

Why then recall Sheila Harsdorf and other legislators?

Some actions are such an attack on fundamental values and demonstrate such destructive leadership that citizens instinctively know that a radical action has been taken that demands an immediate response. That was the gut reaction of thousands and thousands of Wisconsin citizens when Gov. Walker and Sen. Harsdorf acted to remove collective bargaining rights from public employees and teachers.

Every citizen deserves to be treated with

dignity and respect. Our civil society depends on how we respect the worthiness of each other. What Walker essentially said to public employees and teachers is that you are no longer worthy of recognition. Your collective voice is no longer pertinent or legitimate.

As a citizen who is not a union member or a teacher I reacted with disbelief and anger at what to me was a basically destructive action that demonstrated the worst kind of leadership.

The worst kind of leadership because it was scapegoating a portion of our population using a budget problem to imply that they were somehow the cause of our problems.

Instead of showing true leadership and calling for a collective effort to work to-

gether and sacrifice together the governor and Harsdorf chose to attack public employees and teachers saying we must revoke historic and hard-earned rights of many decades. Any leader who engages in scapegoating in a democratic society dangerously undermines our democracy.

Harsdorf’s public statements try to deflect criticism by repeating the budgetary crisis required stripping away of basic rights and by blaming outside special interests for her recall. Neither assertions are true.

As a longtime observer of Wisconsin government this groundswell of protest is the most authentic grassroots movement that I have ever seen. The budget problems can be resolved without removing collective bargaining rights.

She makes things more divisive by try-

ing to pit Wisconsin taxpayers against public employees and teachers as if these public servants were not also taxpayers and also concerned about the budget deficit.

It is indeed ironic that while people from all over the world were cheering the truly historic protest for dignity and respect occurring in the Middle East that Walker and Harsdorf were working to strip dignity and respect from those public servants and teachers who are so crucial to our democratic society.

When fundamental values are under siege and there is such a failure of positive leadership, a recall election is indeed a necessary remedy.

James Lewis’ knowledge of the nuances of Rep. Ryan’s proposal vs. ObamaCare in the May 11 Register is surprising. He makes the Republican plan look desirable, perhaps inevitable. I was somewhat surprised, therefore, to read that on Sunday Newt Gingrich said on “Meet the Press” that the plan was “too big a jump” and that he would be against a conservative proposal imposing radical change.

The May 17 Financial Times says of the controversy: … while the proposal “was greeted with fanfare by ultraconservatives,

recent polls have shown it is being met with opposition by moderates,” (presumably Republican moderates). I would add “if there are any.”

James Lewis’ final sentence: “Medicare as we have known it is gone” may be premature.

The most striking aspect of James Lewis’ recent letter to the editor concerning how the Affordable Care Act has, using his word, “eviscerated” Medicare, is that he makes no mention of where he got his information. He doesn’t cite a single source.

Not a one.

For all we know he could have read this on some obscure, little-known Web site.

Or maybe he overheard a conversation in line at the grocery store? A chain e-mail, perhaps?

Any freshman high schooler turning in a research paper like this would have it promptly handed back with a demand to identify sources. Lewis should hold himself to the same standard.

In his comments published on the zoning issues at Little Bear Addition on Long Lake Mr. Macomber appears to skirt the topic of the difference between a simple residential lease (not a business) in contrast to the situation at Little Bear that is a clearly a resort and as such is a business.

The zoning ordinances clearly prohibit businesses in any area zoned Rural Residential 1.

I don’t know if Macomber is in fact confused by this or if he is looking for justifica-

tion to avoid taking responsibility in this matter.

According to the related article you published last week, he and others don’t have to look far for clarity from the state Court of Appeals for the Third District action involving Polk County and an almost identical situation. The court ruled that any single-family dwelling that is rented out for less than a month is considered a resort.

Should legal action be pursued, Washburn County falls under the Third District as

well as Polk, and the ruling regarding Polk would take precedence.

Thus it appears that it is relatively simple to determine that the resort Big Bear on Little Bear Road is a business operating in area zoned Residential 1 only and is in clear violation of current zoning ordinances. This issue is actually fairly clear and needn’t be confusing John Kunz Sarona

Graduation and careers

This is the week of graduation for the Shell Lake class of 2011. Some students will be leaving in the fall to further their education at a college or technical school.

Some students are joining the military.

Other students may be going directly into the workforce.

On April 28, I had the opportunity to join other business Suzanne community memJohnson bers during Career Day held at Shell Lake Schools. During this time we were able to make a half-hour presentation about our occupations three times to a different set of students.

Dr. Seuss is quoted as saying, “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”

SPOONER — In 2010 the Wisconsin State Legislature proclaimed the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend to be Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Day. The canoe museum in Spooner is continuing this tradition with Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Day on Saturday, May 28. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. there will be live music and a canoe and wooden boat show in front of the former grain elevator – turned museum – at 312 N. Front St., museum tours and open house in the museum exhibit hall, ongoing activities in the canoe workshop, games for the kids, and food and beverage available for purchase.

Canoe Heritage Day May 28 in Spooner

Local favorite, The Porch Dogs, will provide entertainment during the Canoe Heritage Day in Spooner. — Photos submitted

Lonesome Ron will feature authentic Western entertainment, cowboy singing and yodeling.

The public is invited to this free event, which will include the unveiling of the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum’s new 2011 exhibit entitled Wildness In The Soul: Sigurd F. Olson and The Canoe. While the first tours are winding their way through the exhibit hall, the celebration out front will continue with

live music from The Porch Dogs and Lonesome Ron, King of the Valley Yodelers. The Porch Dogs are local favorites that offer a lively mix of baby-boom-era tunes from American pop music and beyond. Lonesome Ron comes from Minnesota and features authentic Western entertainment, cowboy singing and yodeling.

The canoe and wooden boat show will feature many canoes, boats, and canoerelated materials of all types: classic and modern, traditional and contemporary.

In all, some 20 exhibitors are expected to attend. Some of the items to be on display include: a custom-painted, vintage, 16-foot square-stern Ouachita aluminum

canoe with a 1970 3-h.p. Sears/Eska motor that still runs and has been repainted to match; a Baidarka, Aleutianstyle handcrafted skin-on-frame kayak, built the same way the Eskimos made them; a 16-foot Wilderness Guide wood and canvas canoe built by Jerry Stelmok of Island Falls Canoes in Atkinson, Maine; and a late 1940s- or early 1950sera Huron wood and canvas canoe built

in Huron Village, Quebec, and reconstructed in the WCHM shop in 2010.

In addition to the Saturday activities, there will be a Yellow River paddle and float trip on Sunday, May 29, departing from the museum at 11 a.m. Everyone is invited to bring their canoe and lunch, and join this three-hour trip down a lovely stretch of the Yellow River just south of Spooner. All of the activities of Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Day are supported in part by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, the Wisconsin Joint Effort Marketing Program, and TravelWisconsin.com.

The WCHM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and volunteer-led organization devoted to the preservation and interpretation of the cultural heritage of canoes and canoeing in North America. The museum exhibits an eclectic assemblage of boats that is exciting in its diversity, and includes significant craft from the golden age of North American canoeing, as well as work by important contemporary builders. The building traditions of the Eastern seaboard, the Midwest, and Canada are all represented, providing the visitor a fascinating opportunity to experience the evolution of canoe design and manufacture in proper historical context.

St. Francis de Sales School moving forward

SPOONER – St. Francis de Sales School in Spooner is proud to invite members of the community to their annual spring concert, “Let Your Light Shine!” on Tuesday, May 24, at 7 p.m. in the church. This year’s concert will be combined with an open house celebrating the achievements of the SFdS students and offering 20112012 registration information. The evening will include musical presentations given by the award-winning middle school choir and band, pieces prepared by the entire school, and a Spanish presentation performed by fifth- and sixth-grade students. There will be testimonies given by an alumnus, a current student and one couple whose children attend the school. Snacks and refreshments will be offered in the cafeteria following the concert, as well as project displays by classes and some prize drawings. A highlight of the evening for children present will be story time provided by the seventh- and eighth-grade students reading their own creative writing.

In early March 2011, Father Ed Anderson informed the congregations of St. Francis de Sales in Spooner, St. Joseph in Shell Lake and St. Catherine in Sarona, of shortfalls in the St. Francis Parish and School budgets.

Two public meetings followed this announcement inviting school parents and members of the three parishes to come together with ideas to address the situation. Initiatives were presented by individuals and prioritized as a group. Among these were a charitable gifts campaign; the development of a marketing committee; fundraising events; maximizing the school’s use

St. Francis de Sales School in Spooner will have an annual spring concert, “Let Your Light Shine!” on Tuesday, May 24, at 7 p.m. in the church. – Photo submitted of the SCRIP program; and formation of an evangelization committee to invite and engage parishioners in the life and activities of the church.

Generous donors have stepped forward moved by the value they see in Catholic education. Many members of the parish community have offered their time and talents to work with the initiatives mentioned. During this time of uncertainty about the school’s future, parents, teachers, students and parish members have

banded together in prayer and action.

With support from the Diocese of Superior’s Superintendant of Schools, Peggy Schoenfuss, and the Diocesan director of administrative services, Richard Lyons, it was decided to maintain the current classroom structure with combined grades (one-two, three-four, fivesix and seven-eight), an independent kindergarten classroom and preschool 3- and 4-year-old program.

One addition will be a full-day option for the preschool.

As a necessary measure to balance the budget, the principal position has been eliminated for next year. One of the current teachers will act as teacher-in-charge with close support from the diocesan superintendant of schools. The school’s teachers and education committee, along with the pastor and parents, are looking to a long future of sustainability as an educational alternative focused on academic achievement, a strong Catholic identity and an environment of discipline and personal attention that allows students of St. Francis de Sales to develop their full, God-given potential.

St. Francis de Sales School provides a Catholic, private education spanning preschool through eighth grade. Registration is open to families of all faiths who seek a faith-filled learning environment for their children. The school offers a well-rounded academic program including their acclaimed middle school band and choir, Spanish and art. For more information, please plan to attend the spring concert and open house on May 24. – submitted

Avoid animal bites, protect your pet

536353 39-40r

WASHBURN COUNTY – Animal bites and possible rabies exposure continue to be a health concern in Washburn County, especially in the summer months as we see more bite exposures. In 2010, the Washburn County Health Department investigated 50 animal bite cases reported by local medical providers. Many bites go unreported because the victims do not seek medical care.

“Most animal bites can be avoided if animal owners supervise their pets and the public approaches stray animals with caution,” states Washburn County Health Officer Jerri Pederson. “Washburn County Health Department investigates all animal bites to protect the public from exposure to rabies. There is no cure for rabies. Animal rabies vaccinations are not always 100 percent effective; therefore every precaution is made to protect the public. We ensure that victims seek adequate medical treatment and that the biting animal is quarantined for observation for possible rabies and vaccinated.”

If you are bit by an animal, wash the wound well with soap and water for several minutes. See a doctor for evaluation of the wound. Contact the Health Department for more information. Bat bites/exposures always require the victims receive rabies vaccination. One bat tested positive for rabies in 2010 in Washburn County.

Owners of unvaccinated, unlicensed dogs face fines and impoundment. Dogs running loose often harass individuals passing by and bite. Restrain your dog. Dogs tied up in yards can become aggressive when approached, and their only defense is to bite. A kennel is a better option, especially in a residential area.

Stray cats are not always domesticated and may bite

in response to being handled. Live trapping and surrendering them to the humane society is a better option.

Never feed stray animals. Feeding and harboring an animal legally makes you the owner and responsible for all damages.

Dr. Sloniker, Washburn County Health Department veterinary advisor, advises pet owners to vaccinate their dogs and cats against rabies. Dog owners must register their vaccinated dogs by licensing each year through their local city or townships.

Supervise your pet, especially around young children. Children can’t read the warning signs, such as growling or cowering, that animals exhibit when threatened. Stray and wild animal behavior is unpredictable, and the public should not approach them but instead contact your local law enforcement for assistance. – submitted

A full week for the Laker boys

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — It was a busy week for the Shell Lake baseball team as they played five games last week winning two and losing three.

The team started out the week finishing the suspended game with Turtle Lake/Clayton on Tuesday, May 10. The game was scheduled at Turtle Lake but was switched to Clayton. The game on Monday, April 18, ended 3-3 and was called after 11 innings. With the homefield advantage, TL/C hoped to sweep the second game, and when they took a one-run lead it looked good. Shell Lake had the tying run on with Brandon Anderson, and Mitch Kraetke sent a home run over the fence for the win.

The second game was a different story as TL/C won 12-2 on three out-of-thepark home runs. Darren Sahlstrom got the loss as he and Kraetke gave up 12 runs on eight hits and seven walks.

Shell Lake hosted the Northwood Evergreens on Thursday, May 12, going into the seventh inning with a 1-0 lead only to lose the game on errors and walks. The Lakers will get the opportunity to redeem themselves when they face the Evergreens on Thursday, May 19, at Northwood.

Shell Lake hosted a tournament Saturday, May 14. Eau Claire Emmanuel Lutheran played Shell Lake in the final game after they beat Flambeau. Shell Lake beat Frederic in the first game, 8-6 to play Emmanuel in the final game.

With none of their regular pitchers left to pitch for Shell Lake, the younger pitchers got the opportunity to throw, and the game ended 13-3 for Emmanuel.

In addition to the Thursday game with Northwood, Shell Lake will host Clear Lake in a doubleheader on Monday, May 23, with the first game starting at 3:45 p.m.

Outfielder Andy Melton tries to catch the home run as it clears the fence as Shell Lake dropped 12 -2 in the second game of a doubleheader against Turtle Lake/Clayton on Tuesday, May 10. The short field in Clayton was a home-run paradise with four home runs in eight innings.

The team traveled to Rice Lake and had some great improvements and even a new school record set by Emma Anderson in the girls 1600-meter run. This was an 11-year-old record set by Tracy Oostdyk in 2000. “It was a fun race to watch and even with an injury she was able to place second but once she is healthy we will see even better times from Emma,” praised coach Katrina Granzin.

Other great runs for the girls were Jen Cassel placing first in the 400 with a 1:01.23 and Pokorny placing second in the 800 meter run with a 2:38.46. Placing fourth was the girls 4x200-meter relay team of Hannah Cassel, Hana Anderson, Colleen Knoop and Pokony with a time of 1:57.93. Also placing fourth was the 4x100-meter relay of Hannah Cassel, Anderson, Pokorny, and Jen Cassel at 54.67 seconds.

For the boys, placing in second was the 4x800 relay consisting of Caleb Parker, Tanner Williams, Josiah Kay and Ben Butenhoff. They came into the meet having previously run a 9:30 relay but came within 3 seconds of breaking the school record by running their relay in 9:00 even.

In third place was Tyler Anderson in the long jump with a personal best of 20 feet 3 inches. In fourth place was the 4x100-meter relay team of Denotter, Ryan Mikula, Maher and Tyler Anderson with a time of 47.47; Ben Butenhoff in the open 800 with a 2:15.18 and Tory

Barronett by Judy Pieper

The spaghetti supper, hosted by members of the Barronett Civic Club last Friday evening, May 13, was attended by nearly 100 people. The dining room looked very nice with red-checkered tablecloths on the tables. In addition to the spaghetti, salad and bread, there were way too many desserts to choose from.

It’s no wonder I can’t lose any weight!

There was a raffle drawing after dinner.

The big winners were — imagine a drum roll here — Dan Jaastad won a turkey rifle; Andy and Jill from Adventures in Rice Lake won the cash prize; Marghi McKeon and Jeff Gagner both won fishing tackle packs; Rick Evans won a gift certificate from Bistro 63; Marie Craine won a gift certificate from Barronett Bar; and Nancy Scharhag won a gift certificate from Speedy’s C-Stop. There were also several door prizes handed out.

The proceeds of the raffle were put toward the civic club’s scholarship fund.

This year the students chosen to receive scholarships were Dillon Snowbank, who will be graduating from Cumberland, and Megan Jaastad, who will be graduating from Shell Lake. Congratulations to both students and we all wish them the best of luck in the future.

The members of the civic club extend gratitude to everyone, those working in the kitchen and those who came to dinner, for their support. Special acknowledgment to Mike Forster for his work preparing the dinner. If Mike isn’t looking for a job as a chef he probably should be.

The women of Barronett Lutheran will be hosting the spring salad luncheon this Sunday, May 22. Worship service will be at 10 a.m., which is an hour later than usual, and we will start serving lunch at 11 a.m. everyone is welcome. Please plan to join us for great food and conversation!

Congratulations go out to Debbie Lehmann on the completion of four very successful years at the Red Brick Cafe.

Debbie and her crew hosted a Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday. It was four years ago on May 16 that Debbie opened the doors of the Red Brick. Her great food and service have brought people from all over the state back time after time. We appreciate having her here in Barronett, and know that she will be running the Red Brick successfully for many years to come.

I had a very nice conversation with Tracy Borkenhagen, Terry Goodrich’s daughter, on Sunday. Tracy and her hus-

by Helen Pederson

We woke up to bright sun on Monday morning. I haven’t felt the heat from the sun in the morning, but by noon it gave us heat on the south side.

Sunday it was sunny but a cool breeze.

The lawns are growing and beautiful flowers are out. Many birds have returned including the hummingbird that returned last week.

Congratulations to all the seniors who will be graduating Friday. Salem and the Methodist churches honored them Sunday with cake and good wishes. From our church we had Jackie Brown, MacKenzie Curtis, Johanna Feeney, Amanda Hagen, Alyssa Steen, Megan Jaastad, Joe Mikula, Ryan Mikula and Sarah Regenaur. Our prayers go with you as you travel on.

Congratulations also to Amanda Hagen from our community for receiving the Northwest United Educators Outstanding Student Award. She received her award at the WITC Conference Center in Rice Lake. She chose Patti Naglosky as her most influential staff member. What an honor for both of you. Also, Amanda hats off to you as valedictorian and Joe Mikula as salutatorian.

I guess the Evening with the Stars Gala on Saturday night was a big success and a fun evening with a big crowd.

Arlys Santiago attended the event.

Congratulations to Tanya and Michelle Minot who graduated from the Chippewa Valley Technical College, Friday, May 13.

It was a nine-month course in Central Service Commissions. There were 300 graduating. After graduation they were treated to dinner out by their folks. Now to find a job. Good luck girls.

Lillian Ullom tells me her brother, Kenneth, who lives in Florida, had a stroke and is not doing well. He lost his wife, Delores, three weeks ago. Brother Frank Mortensen has been having some health problems, too. We send our thoughts and prayers to them.

Saturday, Mavis Flach and her granddaughter, Tarah, went over to Scott and Cindi Malmin’s to help get urn and boxes ready to put out at the cemetery, when it warms up.

Happy birthday to Mary Nebel who celebrated her birthday May 10. She served angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream to all the tenants here. Mary graduated with Floyd and Marion (Pederson) Smith.

Steve Carlson came in and tuned our piano here last week. Sounds good.

The group of Joanne Olson’s piano students were here on Friday afternoon for a piano recital. We had a large group of parents, grandparents and friends as well as residents. They really did a good job.

They give us a recital a couple of times a year. Thank you to all of you and Joanne.

Pray for a good harvest, but continue to hoe.

to stop, and Terry said that they might as well. Well, guess what? Terry found his pies. Seems that this particular garage sale was being held to raise money for Carrie Wiggers and the rest of the Cumberland High School Chorale to go to Europe in June. Charmain Wiggers had made apple and cherry pies, using Jane Wigger’s recipe. Terry, who as you might remember, rarely pays for his pies, bought an apple pie and said that the filling was wonderful. He was pretty happy about finding a pie in Cumberland after searching the whole community of Woodbury and not finding any. And, Jane promised him another one, so he considered the day a complete success.

Lynn Thon, Sanara Marsh and I had a lot of fun with the little twins, Kaitlynn and Jessica Holmen, on Sunday afternoon. Their mom and dad, Jamie and Scott, decided it was time to take the boat out on the lake for a while, so we convinced them to leave the girls with us.

They were 8 months old on May 11 and are getting cuter, and easier to entertain, every time we see them. They love playing with brightly colored toys, listening to music and watching things like “Dora the Explorer” on television. It just amazes me how fast little babies learn things. Anyway, we got to hold them, cuddle them and feed them, and it seemed like their mom and dad came back to get them way too soon.

We certainly have an abundance of birds around the feeders this year. The grosbeaks are here in flocks — 10 or 12 at a time. We have gray catbirds now for the first time. And Duane saw an American redstart up by the garden. My kids say it’s a sign of age that we enjoy watching the birds. Maybe they’re right, but it certainly is fun anyway.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you can make it to the salad luncheon this Sunday at Barronett Lutheran. See you next time.

band, Ole, have recently moved from northern Spain to the southern region of Spain. A week or so ago, Ole’s son, Kristoffer, came to visit them and said that he would like to go to the beach. Because they are new residents of the area, Tracy and Ole are pretty unfamiliar with the layout of streets, etc., but decided that they would be able to find their way around without too much trouble. They were sure that their miniature Doberman, Kina, would enjoy the outing, so they took her along. They all got into the car, drove to the beach and found a parking place within a reasonable walking distance. They walked around a while, enjoying the sights and sounds of the sea, and finally decided to call it a day. They started back in the direction of where they thought they left the car. They wandered aimlessly for some time, trying to remember some of the landmarks they had passed, and finally realized that they were completely lost. Luckily Kina possesses a much better homing instinct than her human companions. Tracy was aware of the dog’s higher intelligence, and told Kina to find the car. No problem for Kina, she led them straight to the car. It was parked about two blocks from where the Borkenhagen family had finally given up the search. All’s well that ends well.

Tom and Marge Livingston and Terry Goodrich decided to go to the gigantic garage sales in Woodbury, Minn., this past weekend. I’m not sure what Tom and Marge were looking for, but, of course, Terry was particularly interested in any food the people might be selling. He was checking for homemade pies at every stop, and never found one. He did find some little kids selling cookies, and bought a few from them, but was pretty disappointed that he didn’t find any pie.

After walking around Woodbury all day — from 7:30 a.m. until about 4 p.m., Tom, Marge and Terry started for home.

When they got back to the very southern end of Cumberland, they saw another garage sale. Tom asked Terry if he wanted

Mr. and Mrs. George Chanzuk of Canada decided to keep all the empty cereal boxes and food jars from which they fed their daughter, Shawana.

In her first year she ate 182 pounds of groceries.

This included 569 jars of food.

Interesting, isn’t it?

Babies need food. So do believers.

You eat, rest and exercise for the good of your body. But do you leave your souls undernourished?

Bodily health is important. Soul health is more important.

The Bible says, “Like newborn babies, crave spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow.”

by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake Trees are called the standing people by the Ojibwa Indians. From our earliest days, we are privileged to know trees in our yards and forests. I can honestly say, I have always admired trees, believing them to be friends to mankind. They flourish on our earth and before they are gone we should try to propagate them to replenish those we used for shelter and fuel. There is such a variety and they seem so strong and sturdy, that we often do not realize they are vulnerable.

Someone asked me, just the other day, what is the difference between Arbor Day and Earth Day. I mumbled something, but I had never considered the two events we mark at about the same time each year. When I was in grade school we heard all about the special day we call Arbor Day. It was after many years passed that Earth Day was begun. I knew the arbor came before the earth, both days on our spring calendar.

It took me a while to look it up, and both days have passed. But I have found the answer. I didn’t plant a tree on Arbor Day, because the weather has been rather typical of Wisconsin springs, but I intend to get one in the ground soon. I did celebrate Earth Day here at the community center.

Arbor Day was celebrated on April 27 and will be observed annually on the last Friday of April. It is a day when we are encouraged to plant, care for, and appreciate trees. Teachers in our schools are to foster the importance of trees and teach their value to their students.

Arbor Day was first celebrated in Nebraska. It was proposed by J. Sterling Norton, who left Detroit to settle in Nebraska in 1854. He found the land bare, completely without trees, and had begun a campaign to encourage people to plant trees. He knew their value in windbreaks, and in stabilizing the soil to prevent erosion. They add to the beauty of towns. In 1872, Norton urged the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture to have a special day declared to be called Arbor Day. Gov. Robert W. Fumas proclaimed that Arbor Day be observed on April 10, 1884. The next year it was deemed an official holiday in Nebraska on April 22, Norton’s birthday.

Other states joined in Arbor Day celebrations. Different dates were necessary because of the difference in the most favorable planting times. President Richard Nixon made it a national holiday.

Earth Day was observed on April 22. It was first begun as the brainchild of Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wis-

consin. With an eye to the combining of the various types of active protesters concerned with air and water pollution into one government program, he and several other officials proposed a day to demonstrate environmental concerns, to be called Earth Day. It was marked by massive demonstrations. It was a day of organized protests by students of colleges. Save the planet, and save the environment, was the order of the day. They say 20 million people participated. But who’s counting? This led to the start of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Endangered Species Act. Nelson got a presidential Medal of Freedom from Clinton in 1995.

Caring for our environment should begin at home.

We were always told to clean up and keep nature natural. I remember one time when I was small my dad doctored up a tree in our yard that had lost a large branch. He was filling up a gaping hole in the trunk with cement he mixed up with us kids watching. He smoothed it out nicely. We talked about it, and didn’t think it would help the tree. We thought it would kill the tree. My dad just listened and then he found a small file in his toolbox and with it he carved our first names in the moist cement. He added the date. “Now this tree must live, because it is preserving our history. It has to be a special tree with a purpose.”

The tree lived for many more years. Whenever my brother and I climbed the tree we would use that cement bandage for getting a leg up. It was our favorite tree for playing Tarzan and Jane. We loved to watch the world go by from the high limbs of our special tree.

Dad planted a row of Lombardy poplars in our yard as a windbreak and a blue spruce that grew taller than us kids in one year. And for my mother he planted a magnolia tree that people said would not grow in Illinois. It not only grew as tall as the poplars, but produced beautiful blossoms, sometimes twice a year if there was a very warm spring..

Years later, after my family moved to the farm in Wisconsin, one of the kids was in FFA and brought home a big bundle of pine tree seedlings. It was quite a project to put all those baby trees in the ground. Most of them grew. It was always a pleasure to watch them sprout up as time went on.

Now that I live in town I have gas heat, but for many years we relied on wood heat. I miss those days of gathering firewood, and I miss the scent of wood smoke.

Our trees furnish us with furniture and warm our homes and shade us from the sun. Just looking at trees rests our eyes and gives us pleasure.

Dewey Country by Pauline Lawrence

25. Many more, Bess.

Happy anniversary wishes go out to Andrew and Kate Melton on May 25.

Have a great day.

Farmers have cranked up those Big Johns, hookin’ onto another piece of equipment and heading for the fields to get ready for planting, planting and lookin’ to the heavens and hopin’ to get bumper crops this season.

Talking with my favorite sister, Marie Quam, she tells us her three sons, Jim, Mike and Gene, are busy with fieldwork but as some of their fields are a little wet yet, it’s slow goin’.

See that three-fourths of Texas is in a very terrible drought and ranchers are shipping out their herds of beef due to no feed. Yes, with thousands of beef hitting the markets soon, maybe that will ease the prices in the groceries soon.

Road limits are not off in Dewey Country. It’s hard for farmers with road limits on as they have to get going to work in fields, etc., early too, but on the other hand it does a lot of damage to our roads with heavy loads going over our township roads, damaging them.

A week ago, we found Jackie and Madison Perlt and Colleen and Izzy Jensen and Mike and Nancy Murray, Nicole DePolister and Ginny Schnell and daughter Amanda Beinais at Diane Hulleman’s to have Mother’s Day dinner on Saturday.

Someone told me this past week they had come through Illinois and the fields were full of water. All you could see were the tops of field corn. It’s a shame as planting crops is so expensive and by the time the water leaves it will probably be too late to replant.

Saturday at our farm it was el stinko.

Yes, our pit was pumped with those good nutrients spread on our fields. Thanks to Roger and Steve Lundeen and crew.
