County authorizes sale of $1,760,000 refunding bonds

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY — The Washburn County Board has decided to authorize the issuance and sale of $1,760,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds. This is a chance for the county to save a total of between $45,000 and $50,000. This is for a current loan that is due to be paid off in two years. This will still be paid off in two years with the refinancing option and will save money.

At the county board meeting held Tuesday, July 19, Tim Brabec questioned why the county doesn’t just pay off the loan if it has the money available to pay in full. “It’s always better to pay it off, rather than to finance, isn’t it?”

According to Mike Hallmann, who acts as Washburn County’s financial advisor, the county has enough fund balance to pay off the loan in full, however, depleting the fund balance by such an amount could really hurt the credit rating for the county. “In economic times like these, I would not recommend depleting these funds at this time.”

Michael Keefe went to the Executive Audit Summary for the 2010 year and it

came back as “no findings.” Delinquencies in taxes are going up in Washburn County. So, fund designations to cover that gap of revenue are in place. This is nothing to worry about, according to Keefe. “All in all, we’re in good shape.”

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY — After concerns came forth from residents about the noncompliance of the zoning laws concerning a residence on Little Bear Road, the Washburn County Zoning Committee made its final decision on short-term rentals at a meeting held Tuesday, July 26.

Shouts from upset citizens filled the room, and several people walked out in disgust as the committee voted.

By advice of corporate council Jeff Kohler, the zoning committee is addressing all short-term rentals instead of addressing only Big Bear on Little Bear Road on Long Lake.

Zoning committee Chair David Hasseig has worked with zoning Administrator Web Macomber to come up with a

plan that balances the rights of homeowners who rent their property and the rights of their neighbors. The committee was advised that the current ordinance can be applied to short-term rentals, as they are literally a single-unit resort. The zoning committee should comply with all applicable state and county ordinances.

The motion that was approved states that the zoning administration will enforce the current ordinance. However, since this is a new interpretation for the county, they are opening a window of compliance until May 1, 2012, for all short-term rentals to come into compliance.

More information on the issue will be published in a future edition of the Register.

by Diane Dryden SPOONER — It’s almost time for the Washburn County Fair to celebrate 100 years. Special committees formed months ago and exciting plans have been in the making for this blowout commemoration of people coming together from all walks of life to display their talents and to meet and greet old friends. Charlotte Thompson will be there, too, there for her 67th consecutive year at the fair. That’s 67 years out of the fair’s 100-year history.

She grew up on a dairy farm with one sister and a brother. Dad, Ed Elliott, was involved with the fair so in 1944, at age 10, she was finally old enough to be in 4-H and exhibit at the fair. She attended the fair for her first two official years at the first fairgrounds, which was north of Spooner. She says that the original location, which was established in 1911, was starting to show signs of wear and everything needed a lot of work, so she was pleased when the fair moved to its present location in 1946.

“I entered a calf one year, but it really wasn’t my thing, so I switched to things like clothing, baking and food preservation. I’m convinced that by learning these skills, it eventually made me a better housewife.

She stayed in 4-H for as long as she could which back then was age 21, now it’s 18. By staying through to 21 it enabled her to spend a year not only as a 4-H member, but also a junior leader and an association member. She’s been working at the fair ever since and in 1954 she joined the Wisconsin Homemakers, which was run somewhat like 4-H. There would be special speakers that came to their meeting to share with them all the important information

Putting a personal face on the fair

about new recipes and food preservation methods and even how to easily patch the knees in blue jeans. “One of the recipes I learned in Homemakers and used for my family of six was meat roll-ups,” she says.

Because farmers usually had an abundance of meat they often had leftovers from beef roasts and this recipe called for biscuit dough to be rolled out into a square and then the ground meat that had been mixed with the leftover ground vegetables and potatoes would be placed on the dough and then rolled up similar to the making of a cinnamon roll. They were sliced, baked and served with reheated beef gravy.

She married husband Don and helped him farm their 500-acre dairy farm for years. After he died she even battled on for 5-1/2 additional years. Eventually her children convinced her to move and now she’s quite comfortable in her new place. “All my kids were raised on the farm and they all share a strong work ambition. I have nine grandchildren now and even three great-grands. Starting with my father, we have four generations of 4-H’ers “Even though the fair has gone through changes during its 100 years, the goals are the same - serving the community and bringing business to the area. The 4-H motto has always been to make the best better, and it still holds true today. Years ago, all we had was church, school and 4-H. Nowadays things are obviously different and young people are pulled so many different ways and the fair suffers for it. I do think that 4-H is still a great program and the projects have changed with the times and now there are lots of things kids can do even if they live in town or

in an apartment. It’s been a huge part of my own life, both personally and professionally, and I have enjoyed every year.”

Charlotte personally knew all the great people associated with the fair and 4-H through the years and she’s given 67 out of the 77 years of her life to the cause, constantly learning and contributing. She still attends fair association meetings every month and has been on as many as five committees at a time. Naturally she’s part of the special 100-year fair committee and even though the original Homemakers is

now called Home and Community Education, or HCE, she’s still involved for 57 years.

One thing you can say about this woman, once she makes a commitment, she honors it and this year the Washburn County Register is honoring her faithfulness in helping to make the fair what it is today. Happy anniversary greetings go out to the Washburn County Fair as they celebrate 100 years and hearty congratulations go to Charlotte Thompson as she enters her 68th year of faithful service.

Jauch: Public has a right to question Republican sincerity on unemployment

MADISON — “The abrupt adjournment on Thursday, July 21, by Senate leadership without any resolution to extend unemployment benefits is another disgraceful display of the Republican callous assault on working families,” state Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, charged on Friday, July 22.

“Wisconsin unemployed workers are being used as political pawns by Republican leaders who are engaged in a cynical political ploy to pretend they are in favor of extension of unemployed benefits while their true motive is to kill the bill,” Jauch said.

Jauch said that he and his Democratic colleagues were outside the Senate chambers prepared to meet on the issue but that the Senate Republicans went home. “Unemployed workers have a right for a direct answer from Sen. Scott Fitzgerald: Were the Senate Republicans serious when they voted to eliminate the one-week waiting period or was it only a ploy to love the bill to its death?”

For months, Republican leaders have balked at scheduling the federal extension benefits that would help 44,000 long-term unemployed citizens. The bill was finally scheduled after Democratic legislators and the Wisconsin Unemployment Advisory Council urged leg-

islative consideration.

“My colleagues and I were delighted that the Republican leadership finally realized the need to help the 44,000 unemployed workers who are struggling to keep their homes and support their families. We were especially surprised when Senate Republicans agreed to a Democratic amendment to roll back the oneweek waiting period that will cost new unemployed workers $55 million per year. However, it is now becoming clear that Sen. Fitzgerald merely wanted to leave the phony impression that Republicans were on the side of unemployed workers,” the northern lawmaker stated.

Assembly Republicans restored the one-week waiting period, and Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald has threatened to delay any further floor consideration until September if the Senate does not bow to their demand. On Thursday morning, Senate leadership abruptly adjourned the Senate and blamed Democrats for the impasse.

“It now appears as though the decision to accept the amendment without objection was merely a carefully calculated plan by the Fitzgerald brothers to create an impasse in order to delay any passage of the bill.

“What is even more disturbing is that

the Republican leaders are unable to find a resolution to help unemployed workers in the same session that they rammed legislative redistricting through the process in an effort to protect their own jobs.

“It is becoming too familiar for the

Rivard votes to extend unemployment benefits

Compromise protects Wisconsin families and small business

RICE LAKE – Rep. Roger Rivard, RRice Lake, cast a vote to extend unemployment benefits to Wisconsinites on Wednesday, July 20.

“I strongly believe that the policies we have put into place over the last six months will lead to job creation,” said Rivard. “In the meantime, we need to take care of our neighbors.”

The bill extends unemployment benefits by up to 13 weeks for those families who need it. In addition, the bill passed

“Media reports have long accused this body of our partisan nature,” continued Rivard. “However, there are several things that both sides of the aisle agree on. This bill passed the Assembly with bipartisan support and was endorsed by the bipartisan Unemployment Commission. We can and do work together, despite our disagreements, to do what’s best for Wisconsin.”

Carsello trial delayed

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Jess R. Carsello, 49, Sarona, is facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Michael Elliott. The trial has been moved to Feb. 27, 2012. Judge James Babbit previously set the trial for Aug. 1 of this year.

District Attorney Michael Bitney, who is trying the case, said he is having “total knee replacement surgery” on Friday, July 22, and will be out of the office for the next four to six weeks, and the next available period for the 10-day trial isn’t until February of 2012.

Carsello called 911 and admitted to shooting Elliott, 31, Sarona, on Sunday, July 25, 2010, at his Ripley Spur Road residence. When deputies arrived, they found Carsello in the woods and under the influence near his home in Sarona.

He told deputies that it was self-defense, but an autopsy showed Elliott had been shot six times in the back. Carsello claims that is not correct.

Elliott and Carsello had met just weeks before the incident and were hanging out quite frequently, according to friends of Elliott. Carsello told deputies that the two of them were drinking Jess R. heavily just before the Carsello will incident occurred. be on trial Feb.

DNR provides advice for people with storm-downed trees

SPOONER - The DNR in Spooner has put out information to aid people who have trees that fell during the Friday, July 1, straight-line winds that hit the area. According to the information provided by forester Renae Paulson, if you have one to 50 trees around or touching your house, or less than five acres of localized damage, you should consider utilizing the timber locally for firewood. Or you could hire a tree service for cleanup.

If you have 50 forest trees (not yard trees) and up to 10 acres of damage, you should consider combining your effort with neighbor(s) for a group timber harvest. Or you might want to work with a logging operation that is already working in your immediate area.

If you have 10 acres (200 cords) or more of damage, you have enough volume for a stand-alone timber sale. You could work directly with a logging operation or with a consulting forester.

According to Paulson’s information, the markets for oak and pine pulp are poor at the current time. The markets for aspen and mixed hardwoods are fair.

Salvage harvest should be prioritized

as follows: 1) Harvest snapped and broken trees. 2) Harvest pine and aspen as they have the shortest window before stains and decay move in. 3) Harvest oak and hardwood. 4) Root-connected and bent trees should hold their value for the longest time.

County cutting notices must be filed with your county clerk before any salvage or timber harvesting occurs. If your property is in the Managed Forest Law program, an MFL cutting notice must also be filed prior to any salvage harvest.

Areas of blowdown become serious wildfire hazards if they are not cleaned up, creating a much more difficult fire to suppress. Insects such as the two-lined chestnut borer (in oak) and pine-bark beetle populations will explode in dying trees, then infest and kill healthy trees.

Property owners are advised to consider harvesting undamaged trees at the same time, dependent upon the needs of their forested land. This will improve the marketing of the timber.

Finally, be careful, especially when using a chain saw. - information submitted

Promotion of area tourism key focus of meeting this week

St. Croix Area Promotion Committee to host business reps from throughout fourcounty area

LUCK - On Thursday, July 21, at 10 a.m., the governor’s St. Croix Area Promotion Committee will be meeting at Luck Country Inn. In 1990, Gov. Tommy Thompson created five area promotion committees, representing the six Chippewa Tribes of Northern Wisconsin and selected surrounding counties to address issues related to spearing and its impact on the tourism industry.

Today, only two of the original five committees are still active, Lac du Flambeau and St. Croix. The St. Croix Area Promotion Committee includes representatives from businesses, municipalities, chambers of commerce and tourism entities from the counties of Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn as well as the St. Croix Tribe.

In the early 1990s, the committees received funding from the state to be used in the development of promotional programs to support tourism industry

growth. The St. Croix Area Promotion Committee used the funds in the mid1990s for specific county and regional tourism projects as well as the promotion of Forts Folle Avoine and St. Croix tribal powwows. Recent successes include the launch of a new Web site (www. wistcroixarea.com) in October 2009 to promote this four-county region.

With the mission of increasing tourism impacts and economic development in the St. Croix Area, future goals include increasing day trips and overnight stays, bringing more awareness to the area and increasing tourism related jobs. In order to accomplish these goals, the committee will be continuing to update its online presence, use social media and print media to spread the word about visiting Northwest Wisconsin, increase its membership base, and seek grants to continue promotion efforts including videos and attendance at sports shows.

Earlier this year, the group was awarded 10 free marketing hours from Pilch and Barnet. Those hours will be used to assist in the preparation of a Joint Effort Marketing Grant from the Department of Tourism.

The focus of the grant will likely be to increase visits in the fall of 2012 by marketing the arts and culture offerings of the area.

The meeting is open to everyone.

An informed public

Hats off to the Register for an in-depth, accurate, even-handed and well-written report on the Shell Lake City Council’s recent decision to refuse a $250,000 grant.

I for one would support more of this kind of reporting. An informed public is one that will not tolerate cavalier or selfserving decisions by their elected officials.

The last time I responded to an article in a newspaper was over 30 years ago. It was an article in the Pioneer Press.

I hope that the comments about free money were made as tongue in cheek, I hope none of your readers are that gullible. Any money received as a grant or any other form from any governing body is from the taxpayers. If they have some of our taxes to use as grants etc., then they taxed us too much to begin

The proposed campgound with. Lawmakers use grants and other earmarks to buy political support for their points of view.

As far as the proposed campground: 1. Does it compete with any local privately owned facility? Nothing like having your tax dollar used to compete with your private enterprise.

2. Will our tax dollars create jobs? Or just expand the hours of our public employees?

3. Will it help expand our tax base?

4. How does it benefit the bulk of our local taxpayers?

Just some ramblings from an old mind.

Could have been easily worked out

J.L. Mitch Fox Shell Lake

I am more than disappointed in those Shell Lake Council members who voted against taking the $250,000 in unencumbered funds for the ATV campground.

All details could easily have been worked out subsequent to accepting the no-strings grant. This is a project sorely needed by this community and its retail businesses to say nothing of local contractors looking for work. I fear that

some council members may be letting their own negative feelings about ATVs get in the way of decisions that are in the best interests of the city; the hubris of personal agendas and vested interests are not acceptable ways to govern, in my opinion. I am sure Minong will welcome the ATVers as they pass through our fair city.

Some of the reasons given, according

to the news article, border on the absurd, for example can someone explain why it would make sense to accept $330,000 with “no plan or feasibility study” but not OK to accept $250,000 under the same conditions? Or if the July 11 vote to not accept these funds was illegal, as claimed by alderperson Barnes-Haesemeyer, who voted in the majority, wouldn’t it follow that the imposition of

the restriction to not accept the full amount requested also be illegal and therefore the funds were illegally refused? Talk about gibberish …

Reasonable Democratic, Republican and Independent people are paying attention to the crisis of the moment; our country’s very economy is being held hostage by the right-wing fringe of the Republican Party.

As much as Congressman Duffy claims he is independent, his actions and political double-talk prove he is a Tea Partying right-winger that is refusing to compromise. Why is Duffy so afraid of raising taxes on the wealthiest among us, but so willing to sacrifice our national security?

The idea that wealthy people at the top 2 percent, who are paying an effective tax rate of 17 percent, should not be asked to help reduce our national debt is just crazy. These are the people who can take all the loopholes and deductions that have been created in the tax code.

Also, big oil companies are getting $60 billion in tax breaks, while they are experiencing record profits and not being asked to help at all. Republican legislators are behaving as if they had nothing to do with the situation we find ourselves in today.

While we need to get our fiscal house in order, Duffy and his band of Republican legislators refuse to reinstate the Bush tax break to increase our revenue.

Instead they are proposing to end Medicare, going after seniors, individuals with disabilities, and our students and children programs. Duffy insists on attacking the most vulnerable in our society that are being asked to contribute the most. Duffy isn’t asking for one nickel from wealthy oil companies, Wall Street bankers or any other special interest in his back pocket. Where is the com-

promise here? It’s the height of selfishness that they would bring our fiscal house crashing down to protect their millionaire donors.

Citizens of the 10th (and other) Senate District have a chance to use their voice to send a strong message to Wisconsin’s out-of-touch tea-publican senators by voting for Shelly Moore on Tuesday, Aug. 9.

Gov. Walker risked his political future to address the fiscal and social needs of the state on behalf of every Wisconsin citizen without requiring the support of any special interest group.

Under Walker’s leadership, the government Union Reform Bill exposed and stopped the WEA Trust practice of overcharging school districts for health-care premiums, pilfering millions each year from school districts and taxpayers.

These savings have allowed many school districts to hire more teachers and lower class size without raising taxes. Walker “did it for the children” and for the fiscal integrity of Wisconsin.

Every Wisconsinite deserves a job, the right to pursue his dreams and the sense of accomplishment that accompanies his own hard work. Wisconsin’s new-job gain for June is 9,500 jobs, more than half of the nation’s gain of 18,000 jobs for the same month. “Business leaders here and nationally like what is happening in Wisconsin,” said Kurt Bauer, president of the Madison-based Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the state’s biggest business group. Yet, six GOP senators who helped create this pro-business, pro-jobs environment now face recall because they dared expose the unethical dealings of some big labor groups.

Walker stopped the illegal raid of the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund that occurred under Gov. Doyle’s reign. The state Supreme Court struck down lawmakers’ 2007 raid of a medical malpractice fund, delivering a defeat to Gov. Jim Doyle and the 2007 Legislature.

Walker replaced the pilfered $200 million plus the lost interest of an additional $35 million for a total reinvestment of $235 million in the fund. Walker is ending the old era of illegal raids on funds.

Walker demonstrates true compassion for all citizens of Wisconsin regardless of political affiliation.

Paying off outstanding bills, operating under a balanced budget, and working on pro-growth initiatives protect every citizen. The governor provided a twoyear balanced budget without raising taxes or fees which eliminates the $3.6 billion deficit he inherited from Doyle.

Gov. Walker accomplished this without demeaning or mocking any citizen of this state. He treated protestors with respect and consideration, which they have not given him. This is leadership.

It’s the height of selfishness

The haystack shoe scramble will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the arena. This will be prior to the rope pulling. Kids will get a colored, numbered sticker for both shoes.

One shoe will be put in the small haystack and each kid will try to find their shoe. There will be three divisions: ages 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10. McDonald’s and the fair are sponsoring this event. The first three in each division to find their shoe will receive either a $15, $10 or $5 McDonald’s gift card. Participants line up by the east gate in front of the bleachers before 6:30 p.m.

During breaks in the rope pulls, ladies will be asked to come into the arena and kick one of their shoes as far as they can, or toss a clothespin as far as they can.

Signup will be just prior to each event

Incident leads to more mail

Even though the mailbox that bears my address doesn’t always receive mail, I still check it six days a week. I was surprised when a friend commented that they only pick up their mail every couple of weeks. I don’t know what I am expecting to find each day when I open the box, but whatever it may be, I still check.

A few days before the Fourth of July holiday, Milt and I took a camping trip to Lake Elmo Preserve. We planned the outing for Sunday through Tuesday as those are the days son Matthew has off work, therefore he could camp with us.

Granddaughter Adalyn, along with her parents, Amanda and Carl, planned to spend some time with us as well.

Milt left me at the campsite when he headed to Eden Prairie, Minn., to pick up Matthew. About the time I was expecting them, Matthew called to let me know that Milt had called him to say he was running late. As he was yielding at a red light, the driver behind him didn’t stop and rear-ended the cargo van Milt was driving. Our van didn’t receive much noticeable damage. The same couldn’t be said of the Lexus.

As Milt and the other driver were discussing the situation, they came to the conclusion they didn’t have to call a police officer as four separate squads were arriving at the scene. A motorist passing by called in the incident stating that it looked like the two drivers were arguing.

When the first squad arrived, the officer, walking briskly, approached Milt with an outstretched hand and adamantly asked him to step away from the scene and that he would explain later. Milt complied with the officer’s request. When the officer returned, he asked Milt if the other driver was argumentative. To which Milt replied, “No.” They had been discussing what happened and “talking with their hands.” It turned out the incident was instrumental in the officers catching up with a person of interest that they had been looking for.

When I checked the mailbox later in the week, I found an accident report from the Eden Prairie Police Department. The report showed that the other driver was arrested for driving while under the influence and was also uninsured. In the days following the incident, we received official-looking letters in our mailbox. They were from a variety of different law firms in Minnesota. The first two letters didn’t come right out and ask, “Have you been injured in an accident?” The third letter did however start out with “Mr. Johnson, I understand you were recently involved in an automobile accident. You are now faced with difficult questions such as …” We also received letters from chiropractors.

Since Milt wasn’t hurt and his vehicle didn’t receive much damage, we have ignored the letters. I did keep the advertising magnet from one lawyer that is shaped like an adhesive bandage, though, because I thought it was cute.

For this report I wanted to include a little bit about how the inspection program works and the invasive species we are trying to protect our lake from. The landing is covered every day of the week from 6 a.m.

- 8 p.m. The inspection consists of looking over the boat to make sure there are no weeds on it and asking the boater a few questions; such as the last lake they were on, and how long the boat has been dry.

We also charge a launch fee at the Shell Lake landing, and the money from those sales goes toward supporting the inspection program and the maintenance of the boat landing. Three invasives we check for are curly-leaf pondweed,

Eurasian water milfoil and zebra mussels. Beaver Dam Lake, Nancy Lake, the Totagatic River, Shallow Lake and the Minong Flowage are all nearby and contain Eurasian water-milfoil. Bodies of water in neighboring counties that contain zebra mussels include the St. Croix River and Lake Superior. Also, Spooner Lake contains curly-leaf pondweed making it even more important to check your boat when you leave that lake.

The very hot past three weeks have brought in 586 boats to the landing, and we sold 160 daily permits and 83 annual permits.

by Diane Dryden SPOONER — If you do have a bucket or a pan or even an old bathtub, Peg and Mert Zillmer, who live north of Spooner, want you to know how to successfully recycle them by planting your garden in them.

We’ve only lived in this house for six years,” said Mert, “but one of the first things we did was to put in a garden.” And since Mert is in a wheelchair, his version of a garden has changed somewhat. Mert and Peggy make great use of their old buckets and pans and plant their crops in them. Now you might be saying to yourself, I put flowers in containers too, what’s the big deal?

The big deal is they plant their tomatoes, cucumbers and even their potatoes in old metal containers and line them up in rows just like a garden in the dirt. There’s no digging, no rototilling, they just fill the buckets with dirt and put their future crops in them.

Does it work? Well, their huge tomatoes are in full bloom, they’ve already gotten several cucumbers to eat while the others are loaded with tiny ones, and their potatoes are putting on blossoms. Even the cabbage, potatoes and marigolds they’ve planted in an abandoned bathroom tub are thriving.

It isn’t all container gardening, though. There are rows, but they’re in raised beds and even though they are pretty shaded, the onions, carrots, lettuce and more cabbage are doing extremely well. A wild grape they planted has completely covered its trellis and the Zillmers credit their leftover dishwater for the growth of all the plants in the garden. “Dish soap has valuable stuff in it, so it really makes the plants grow.”

Their son, Ricky, has fenced in a delightful flower garden in front of the house that runs concurrent with the ramp Mert uses to access the house. Looking like something out of a Beatrix Potter book, there is a little gate and a short fence that encloses Peg’s flowers; the lily’s doing especially well this year being almost 4 feet tall and unusually full of blooms.

Each of these tireless gardeners have had multiple health problems and every morning before Mert gets up he thanks God for a new day, “I don’t worry about what I can’t do and I love what I can do.”

Since they’re surrounded by woods, their bear comes on a regular basis but seldom disturbs anything. The deer are kept successfully at bay by the use of Liquid Fence and theirs is a yard full of hummingbirds, butterflies and lovely summer birds that enjoy the hollyhocks, the dill and the peppermint.

On the wall in the living room there is a poem dedicated to Peggy from her granddaughter, Ashley LaVeau. It reads, She loves telling us stories, She also loves almost everyone she knows.

She plays with us most of the time.

She bakes with us And jokes around.

She’s a funny grandma.

She walks with us to the lake, We both love the same flowers.

She always wears sweatpants and sweatshirts.

She always makes me happy!!

She always says, “I love you!”

No matter how far I am from her, I always love and miss her.

No matter what, she’s always happy to see us.

This pretty well describes both the Zillmers, and their yard reflects their passion. Containers, large and small, are brimming with flowers and produce and reflecting their love of nature and people. So if this summer you find a hole or two in your bucket or container, think about using it next year for your crops, it beats digging.

Fresh Lake Superior whitefish to be served up

by Dave Zeug SHELL LAKE — Lake Superior, the largest body of fresh water in the world with 31,000 square miles of water and holding 10 percent of all the fresh water in the world has been fished for centuries and commercial fishermen have been plying the cold, clean waters of the lake since the mid-1800s. These days, the commercial catch is a highly regulated industry and only a few of the 89 species of fish that inhabit the lake are available to the few commercial fishing licenses that are available.

The Halverson family, Dean, his wife, Maurine, and two boys, Cliff and Mark, are owners of the Halverson Fisheries, LLC, which has been in the commercial fishing business for over 40 years. The year-round fishery also has several other employees to keep up with the high demand for their products. The family fishes primarily with trap nets during the warmer months and the rest of the year use gill nets to harvest fish with their fleet of six large fishing boats, three trap-net boats and three gill-net boats. While the family is allowed to catch herring, which is done the end of October through December when the herring are more accessible, along with siscowet trout, burbot and a limited number of lake trout, the bulk of their harvest is made up of a longtime favorite, the whitefish.

Some say whitefish taste like the cold waters of Lake Superior. A firm-fleshed fish, although mild in flavor, Halverson whitefish are sold at various markets and restaurants around Lake Superior in a variety of manners, from grilled fillets, smoked fish, smoked whitefish dip to whitefish patties. The family prides itself in having a fresh product available to the public through the majority of the year.

Through a contact with the Shell Lake Lions Club, the Halverson family is making their prime product, Lake Superior whitefish, available for the club to host a fundraising event featuring all-you-care-to-eat deepfried whitefish.

The event will be held Saturday, Aug. 6, between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m., or until the Lions run out of whitefish, at The Washburn County Board of Supervisors met July 19.

Carl Krantz, director of Washburn County Veterans Service Office, presented his annual report to the board. This report outlines the services provided by his office and how many veterans take advantage of these benefits. Washburn County veterans receive more than $12 million in benefits, which include compensation and pension, education, insurance, medical benefits and VA housing loans. If you are a veteran, I recommend you contact this office to determine if you are entitled to any of these benefits. The telephone number is 715-635-4470.

blood pressure, and improve one’s energy, strength, flexibility and balance.

This will be a fairly slow-moving class that uses a variety of basic postures and stretches performed to each individual’s comfort level. While some standing postures will be included, these can easily be converted to a chair if standing is not appropriate. Seated postures will also take place in a chair, rather than on the floor.

Certain breathing techniques can be helpful in lowering blood pressure and reducing stress or the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, and these may also be included if appropriate. Class will finish with a guided relaxation or visualization while seated. While it is fine to sip water or juice during class, please avoid eating for 2-4 hours before class if possible and inform your instructor of any special needs you may have – pretty much anyone can practice yoga, but not all postures are right for everyone.

Lawmakers consider new shoreland zoning rules

by Chuck Quirmbach Wisconsin Public Radio MINOQUA - Republican state lawmakers want to look at a rule package pertaining to building projects near surface waters. There’s a hearing on the topic this week in Minocqua.

The shoreland zoning rules were a compromise reached during the Doyle administration. In part, the rules spell out what percent of a waterside property can be covered with impervious surfaces like a roof or asphalt driveway to try to limit runoff into the water.

But state Rep. Tom Tiffany of Hazelhurst says many of his constituents say the rules could do great harm to private property. Tiffany says after the public hearing, there may be some things the

Stewart in addition had a single. Dettle had two singles good for two runs batted in and scored three times. Her teammate, Dianna Reickenberg, had an RBI single.

Weiser was awarded a forfeit victory when Big Sexy’s/Paul’s Pizza Den failed to show up for a scheduled matchup. The Shell Lake team likewise gained a forfeit win due to Big Sexy’s/Paul’s Pizza Den absence.

Stellrecht’s Tractor and Auto also chose not to participate according to schedule, giving a forfeit win to the Barron team. — submitted

DNR can do to “fix the rules” before counties have to finish their implementation of the package in February.

But Toni Herkert of the group Wisconsin Lakes says plenty of people had a say about the shoreland regulations when they were hammered out. For example, Herkert says landowners will have options on how to meet the impervious surface limits. She also says the DNR board may be willing to give the counties more time to come up with local ordinances.

Part of the reason for the Minocqua hearing is that Republicans are worried they may lose control of the state Senate in the upcoming recall elections.

But backers of the shoreland rules say the package had bipartisan support.

Less money available to help pay for summer utility costs

by Teresa Shipley Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Low-income residents in Wisconsin might have a hard time getting assistance for their summertime bills. The major nonprofit that helps with utilities can’t meet the demand for its services.

Wisconsin gets money from a federal program to help the poor pay for heat. But it doesn’t have a program designed to help with summertime cooling costs.

It’s a gap partially filled by the nonprofit Energy Services. Each year it distributes about $33 million in aid to low-income households to help with utility bills, no matter the season. But director Tim Brewer says rising fuel

Congress is currently debating whether to cut in half the amount of federal dollars used for low-income utility assistance. Brewer says if that happens, fewer Wisconsin residents will be able to afford their bills.

July 18 – I witnessed a tattered female monarch butterfly laying eggs on milkweed located in the vegetable garden in Minong. It was a scorching day and I was surprised to see a flutter by.

July 19 – Patti Gardner, Happy Tonics donor from Pennsylvania, visited the nonprofit’s visitors center in Minong. She brought some handmade greeting cards that her daughter, Amber Marlow, made and donated to Happy Tonics. In recent years, Patti, Amber, and family have visited the Monarch Butterfly Habitat in Shell Lake. Patti comes to Wisconsin to attend the annual Honor the Earth Powwow and to visit her father at Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation. This year she picked up her German aunt who flew to Duluth, Minn., and Patti drove her to the powwow. Patti stated that her aunt of 73 years of age has now fulfilled a lifelong dream of attending a powwow.

After a beautiful day of showing Patti the native habitat at the Hospitality House in Minong and after saying goodbye to my butterfly friend, all of a sudden, things took a turn for the worse.

Patti and her husband, Ron, headed back to Hayward and I turned on the radio when I returned home only to hear a tor-

nado warning advising folks to go to the lower level of a home to wait out the hail and serious thunderstorm. Well, I am here again to tell you lightning can strike twice! And some more large branches of Chinese elms came down on my back property. Patti made it back to Hayward safely.

July 20 – Received a package from JoAnn Flanagan, board member in Oregon, Ohio. JoAnn made and donated beautiful small butterfly fabric gift bags.

These will be suitable for gift packaging for special butterfly jewelry and milkweed seed that Happy Tonics sells. She also included butterfly and herbal theme fabric. I will share these with two elder donors, Myrna Atkinson and Mable Perry, who make fabric art for Happy Tonics Visitors Centers.

July 21 - Monarch monitoring tip from Monarch Larva Monitoring Project: “When your milkweed plants are close to blooming (or in bloom), make sure to check the buds, as eggs and small caterpillars can often be found there.”

Fresh Start youth visited Happy Tonics Visitors

Happy Tonics was pleased to assist with garden fence thanks to a grant from Leopold Education and Pheasants Forever. Fresh Start youth and supervisors stopped by the visitors center on July 21 to evaluate a project that Happy Tonics wants assistance with at the Monarch Butterfly Habitat.

July 23 – Debora Healey was clearing downed limbs on the Minong property when she noticed a lot of bees flying around and that they had a ground nest.

I was thrilled to discover that they were a colony of Bombus ternarius bumblebees. Two sections of their abdomen are rust color. The bumbles were enjoying nectar and collecting pollen from the yellow flowers of St. John’s wort. I have often wondered where the bumblebees lived on the back property and now I know.

Folks are enjoying the cooler weather.

Gardens are doing well and are starting to produce fresh green beans, cukes, peas, onions and cherry tomatoes. Fresh raspberries and blueberries are being enjoyed, too.

Soybeans and cornfields are looking good. Corn is tasseling out, with a couple of rains along with the heat and humidity it gave them quite a growth spurt.

The plants didn’t even wilt during those hot days.

Jan Rielfeldt and Jeff Johnston returned last week from a three-week trip visiting friends and family in Sheboygan.

They camped at Kohlar Andrea State Park on Lake Michigan that was really nice while there.

Visitors at Jan and Jeff’s were Charlie and Robin Kruegar, Hudson, while they were up at their cabin here. Jacki and Seth Reynolds and new baby Jordon of Rice Lake visited Aunt Jan Sunday evening.

Dan and Heather Ripplinger’s, 5-yearold son, Bryan, went with Grandma and Grandpa, Dan’s parents. They drove to New Mexico and spent a week visiting Dan’s sister.

Ericka Hutton and children Lainy and Chane from Texas are here. Last Sunday evening, Matt and Christi Krantz, Drake, Teegan and Ellie Mae from Chippewa Falls and Grandma Mary Krantz joined them at Greg and Sue Krantz’s for supper. They took supper into Shell Lake to grandparents, Hugh and Sue Smith.

Sunday evening Erica and kids were supper guests at Lee and Jan Prill’s in Shell Lake.

Mr. and Mrs. Kenny Riesberg from Ohio (winter in Arizona), visited his old neighborhood Wednesday. He grew up where the Tom Elliotts now live. He visited them, the Anton Freys and Virginia Stodola and drove around by Ripley Lake. They were on the way to their daughter’s in Farmington, Minn.

Judy Stodola visited Virginia on Tuesday and Friday. She brought out lunch both days.

Willie and Vicki Lombard had his mom, Dort, out from Terraceview Living Center, his sister, Sue Mill, Menomonie, and sister Frannie and her friend, home from Wasilla, Alaska, for dinner on Thursday evening.

Terraceview Living Center brought two van loads of residents to the Backwoods Campground on Wednesday to listen to the polka music by Ray Rubenzer that they really enjoyed. Theresa Sigmund was with them. A speedy get-well wish to her. She had fallen and broken her wrist and a couple of days later fell

Hazardous waste, electronics and medication collection event

Almost every home and farm contains hazardous products, or products that can harm human and animal health or the environment if improperly handled.

Such products include those used in cleaning, home improvements, lawn and garden care, farming, automotive care and hobbies.

Each year, exposure or accidents involving hazardous household products injure thousands of people. Because of the dangers they pose, these products require special awareness, handling and disposal. In order to protect our health and the environment, every consumer should know how to properly use, store, and dispose of hazardous household products.

The Northwest Regional Planning Commissions NW Cleansweep Household Hazardous Waste Collection program promotes the safe use, storage and disposal of hazardous materials by educating consumers to:

again breaking the other wrist so both are in casts. She was in good humor though and got out and danced with Mavis Schlapper.

Gene and Carlotta Romsos had a lot of company up a week ago. Relatives from Minnesota and Wisconsin. The kids attended day camp at Hunt Hill. On the weekend there were 35 there for a cousins weekend. The kids learned to water-ski at Hunt Hill, which they really enjoyed.

With the heat, the folks around Big Ripley are moving slower, but the bears are staying active. Residents are now seeing them in their yards several times a week.

Les and Sandy Vogt took friends from the Twin Cities to the Forts Folle Avoine Fur Trade Rendezvous on Saturday. Although they had many trees fall during the July 1 storm, none of the exhibits in the fur traders fort and buildings, the Indian village and the traps and clay oven exhibits were damaged. They watched blacksmithing, fur tanning, tomahawk throwing, bread baking and other demonstrations by lots of friendly volunteers dressed in period homespun and leather clothing. Add tasting fry bread and maple syrup candy, and you have a great way to experience history.

Elfreda West went with daughter Janet Donetell and her daughter, Jennie Hastreiter, and daughter Nora to the musical “Kids from Wisconsin” held at the Rice Lake High School. Reporting it was very good.

Joe and Deb Elbe returned Saturday night after a 1,600-mile two-week trip west on their motorcycle. Report hot weather but didn’t rain on them, an enjoyable trip.

Roger and Casey Furchtenicht attended Farm Tech Days near Marshfield on Tuesday. Rocky Furchtenicht and Elaine Ryan took that in on Wednesday.

A week ago Saturday, Corey and Craig Furchtenicht went with Brandon and Danelle Parker to attend Ryan and Kathy Butterfield’s wedding at Holcombe.

Wednesday evening, my grandson, Brady Marschall, came out and had supper with me.

Mary Krantz visited me one afternoon.

Thursday Mavis Schlapper had Gloria Frey, Bev Helmer, Elfreda West and I over for noon luncheon and a great visit.

Sunday, Elfreda West and I visited Janet Single at the Spooner Nursing Home and found her doing OK, having • identify and avoid potentially hazardous products; • buy only what is needed, use it completely or share leftovers with someone who can use it; • recycle those materials that can be recycled; • dispose of leftover or unwanted products through hazardous-waste collection facilities; • choose to buy the least hazardous product to get the job done.

Barronett by Judy Pieper

It’s been a pretty slow week here in Barronett. The biggest news is, I think, that we finally got some relief from the heat.

When the temperature was in the 90s, it was hard just walking to the post office. I can’t imagine what the farmers and other outdoor workers were contending with.

Even the animals had to be suffering from the heat. We stopped by the Lehmann farm and the poor cows were standing in their stalls panting. That kind of heat has to be hard on just about everything.

Well not everything, I guess. The garden grew like mad. The blueberries and raspberries are ripening beautifully. This is the first year we are getting blueberries and Duane and Rick Theese are anxiously waiting for me to bake a pie.

If you drive past Rick and Robin Theese’s place, take a look at the neat wagon they built to display and sell their produce. It has steel wheels painted red, a wooden box, and a red fabric top. It’s built sort of like a buckboard. I guess I can’t describe it right, you’ll just have to see it for yourself.

Benn Votel has started a new outdoor business here in downtown Barronett, which he calls Benn’s Sales. Benn goes all over buying estates, and has beautiful glassware, antiques, collectibles and all kinds of household goods. You might have noticed that he was here the week before last too, during the motorcycle poker run. He told us that he will be set-

ting up in the same spot, by the caboose, every other Saturday during the summer.

Stop by, visit with Benn, and check out the really nice bargains he has.

Barronett Civic Club members will be sponsoring a poker run this Saturday, July 30. Riders are planning to meet at Barronett Bar at 10 a.m. for breakfast, then to Bourbon’s Bar in Cumberland for registration at noon. There will be several stops to pick up poker hands, and the run will end at Backwoods Saloon and Whitetail Ridge Campground where there will be food and live music. Proceeds from the run will be used for new bleachers at the Barronett Community Center. Club members want you to know that you don‘t necessarily have to be a motorcycle rider to participate in the run, everyone is welcome. So, hop on your motorcycle, or in your car, truck or Jeep, and come on over to join the fun.

We met our new grandson this week and, let me tell you, he is absolutely perfect. He was born last Saturday, you know, and his name is Wrigley Michael Marsh. Wrigley and his parents, Jim and Sumer, are doing just fine. His sisters, Jensyn, Maddy and Olivia, are thrilled with the new little guy. I’m afraid it is going to be a quite a while before we’ll be able to sneak him out of the house for a few hours so that we can spoil him.

Jensyn Marsh will be celebrating her 17th birthday this Saturday, July 30. Man,

they certainly grow up fast, don’t they?

Seems like it wasn’t all that long ago that she was Wrigley’s size. Hope you have a very happy birthday, Jensyn.

Dillon Snowbank celebrated his 19th birthday this past Sunday. I think we probably embarrassed him at church that morning when we sang “Happy Birthday” to him. Hope the rest of his day went better.

Jean Odden celebrated a birthday this week, too, on July 23. I had a nice long chat with her that day, and she and Milt seem to love their new home in Rice Lake.

She said that they are getting a new manager at their apartment complex, and that it sounds as though there will be lots more activities for the residents. We certainly miss Jean and Milt here in Barronett. It was so nice to be able to stop at their shop for top-quality Scandinavian gifts — and to visit with them, of course.

Ah well, I’m really glad that they are enjoying retirement.

If you would like to donate anything to send to our soldiers overseas, now is the time to do it. Shirley Overvig said that she will be sending out the items donated at Barronett Lutheran the week before school starts. If you need ideas on things to donate, there is a huge list at the church.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Try to stay cool.

See you next week.

was sent to Europe where they sent the infantrymen into the Battle of the Bulge.

They suffered from the cold and from enemy action. He described it as “a frontrow seat in hell.” Bennett hated war ever after. He said, “Anybody who thinks that war is romantic obviously has not been through one.”

When he returned home he was set on his singing career. He began recording and singing using the stage name Tony Bari. He began as a crooner. Pearl Bailey asked him to open for her in Greenwich Village. He sang on the first Johnny Carson “Tonight Show.” He was among the distinguished guests, Rudy Valee, Bob Hope, Mel Brooks and Joan Crawford.

Carson kidded him about the rather bare set they had for him, and Bennett told him, “It’s not how you start it, it’s how you finish.”

Hope said he needed to change his name. Tony told him his real name and Hope said to use that and shorten his last name. That’s what he did and he went on the road with Hope. He signed with Mitch Miller to Columbia Records, and sang “Because of You,” words by Arthur Hammerstein, music by Dudley Wilkinson (1940). It was a hit. He sang, “Without a Song,” words by Billy Rose and Edward Elisco, and music by Vincent Youmans (1929) from the musical, “Great Day.” He recorded “Rags to Riches” with Columbia Records, written in 1953, with words and music by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (1953). It was a big hit, international, on top of the charts in England, and it sold 2 million records. Other hits followed during the 1950s and 1960s. He did some albums, “The Beat of My Heart,” and “Basie Swings, Bennett Sings” and in 1962, his wonderful signature song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” words and music by Douglass A. Cross. He introduced it at the Fairmont Hotel in 1962. His Columbia recording sold 3 million records and received two Grammy Awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for the best popular record and the best vocal performance by a male vocalist.

Bennett went to the Fairmont believing it would be his last public performance.

His advisors had been trying to get him to do rock and roll and told him not to sing the old-time songs, but he took a 10year-old song and sang it his way. They told him not to record it, but he did.

He sang with his own crooning style but chose songs by American writers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin and even the country song, “Cold, Cold Heart,” by Hank Williams (1951). Sung in Bennett’s ballad style, a million records were sold.

Some other favorites were “Blue Velvet,” words and music by Wayne and Lee Morris (1951), and “The Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” words by Al Dubin and music by Harry Warren (1933).

Bennett was on the road too much and, like many other performers, had personal problems. He had definite problems. He had married Patricia Beech on Feb. 12, 1952. They had two boys, D’Andrea (Danny) and Daegal (Dae). He and Patricia split up in 1965. They divorced.

On Dec. 29, 1971, Bennett married Sandra Grant. They had two girls and then separated. They were divorced in 2007.

Then on June 21, 2007, he married Susan Crowe. She is quite a bit younger than Bennett. He enjoys performing, but he takes time to enjoy life with his wife and his four grown children.

Bennett had begun his downhill journey in the ‘60s, with addiction to drugs, and he went all the way to the bottom.

The IRS was after him for back taxes. He faced foreclosure on his home in Los Angeles. He got help. It took some time, but it was his boys who brought him out of it. Danny was in the business side of the music industry. He became his manager and guided his father back, and encouraged him to sing the American songs he loved, not to try to keep up with current fads.

Bennett came back and has been singing ever since all the wonderful old songs. He makes 100 to 200 personal appearances a year. At every performance he sings one song without the microphone, telling his audience you can use your voice like a musical instrument. As the lyrics say, “who could ask for anything more?” And, “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.”

They say he sold 50 million records.

He got 15 Grammy Awards, two Emmy Awards, appeared on many television shows and was named an AKA Jazz Master. He was honored at the Kennedy Center for his fabulous career and his unique contribution to the music scene in the nation. His paintings are valuable.

He signs his name on his paintings, Benedetto.

The great and fantastic singer: Tony Bennett

by Mary B. Olsen He’s been called the best singer in the business, and he earned that title and continues to hold it in the present time.

Tony Bennett has been on top, down on the bottom, and rose again in a career singing for the public starting for him when he was 10 years old. Some artists have admired his paintings and one artist said he “holds up very well as a painter.”‘ He has often told people, “All I want to do is paint and sing for the rest of my life.”

Bennett was born in Astoria, Queens, N.Y., on Aug. 3, 1926. His family had their origin in Italy. His name was Anthony Dominick Benedetto. He said they came from a mountain village, and were poor but they had that genial quality that made everyone in the village their friend. Folks said his grandfather would sing every morning so loudly that his voice carried down the mountainside so people in other villages could hear him.

In New York, like so many people, they struggled raising a family during the Great Depression. His father was a grocer but he was not well so they depended on the mother’s work as a seamstress to make ends meet. His father died when Bennett was 10. He took jobs to help out. His mother was paid about one cent a dress, and she worked so hard, he felt he should do all he could to make her life easier. Singing was important to the family. He said his family was raised on Enrico Caruso. He and his brother often sang like Caruso. Bennett took jobs open to boys, and even worked as a singing waiter. He attended the High School of Industrial Arts in Manhattan where he studied painting and music. He was skilled at drawing and loved painting all his life. The school was supposed to be for young people who didn’t fit in, but should have some kind of trade. He left school at 16. He sang publicly whenever and wherever he could, improving his skills and following the styles of singers like Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. He liked jazz and found show tunes and standard songs and he enjoyed singing them in his own way.

There was a war going on. In 1944 Bennett was drafted into the infantry. He

It seems that since this time last year, Time has flown by and now the time is here.

The 4-H clubs have numerous displays Of projects they have readied to show today.

There are samples of produce from gardens to show, Each item grown with utmost of heart and soul.

The pigs, chickens and cows are groomed to a tee.

Cats and dogs shown by owners for all to see.

There are horses and foals groomed to a sheen, It seems they are the best that you’ve ever seen.

Then it is a visit to the corn dog stand, Hamburgers and brats, the best in the land.

There is something about the fragrance in the air, That nothing can compete with the county fair.

There are rides, especially the Ferris wheel, And others that are fun with a thrilling, scary feel.

Way to go!

This past week I had some problems.

Yes, it was a skunk and I found out later as it was getting dark. I feed some cats on my patio and as it got to be dark I looked out and here I found a skunk eating my cats’ food. I shooed it away, and believe me no more food is going out.

were in Eau Claire for an appointment and later visited Bob’s sister, Nancy Leazott, and also stopped in Rice Lake. Friday, Marv and Bryan Knoop visited with Bob and Kris and Bob visited Elmer Talbert. Saturday, Greg and Cherie Dorweiler and Emily visited Bob and Kris.

Sunday the Lakeview UMC had a picnic for all.

Table Talk: What is one thing you cannot give up in your life?

Knowledge is learning something new every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.

Son Richy is busy hauling big bales home. I think he said it would take three days to haul them home. He usually gets 14 big bales on a load.

I’ve been picking raspberries. It looks like a bumper crop.

Jim Toll tells us his son, Dave, was up for the weekend doing lots of odd jobs.

Tammy is now going to hatch peacocks, which I hear are hard to raise.

Sandy Atkinson tells us her daughter, Lisa Otto, and her granddaughter, Margie, are visiting them.

Tuesday Sandy Redding had a checkup in Eau Claire. Robyn and Robin Major got back from their cruise and also Dawn and Bill Kane got home after a week’s vacation. Saturday Sandy Redding went by Comstock to see former employees from her work.

Talking with Evelyn Melton, we find they went to their granddaughter’s wedding Saturday. It’s congratulations to Sarah Melton and Jeff Chandler who

were married at the Wesleyan Church in Spooner. They went to the Cornerstone Church for their reception. We wish the newlyweds many happy years together.

Cecil Melton got out of the hospital on Friday after spending 5-1/2 days there.

Good to know you’re on the mend, Cecil.

Talking with Diane Hulleman we find she baby-sat from Wednesday through Saturday. During the week two friends from the new Lakeview Medical Center came to see her and they enjoyed coffee.

Diane also went to a retirement party for Mary Thull. She enjoyed a big turkey supper at Ginny’s and along the way picked some raspberries, making four batches of jam. On Sunday, she enjoyed the potluck picnic held at the Lakeview church.

Shirley Stellrecht called with some news. She said she was just getting ready to go out to her garden, which is down by the lake she has. Well, it’s a good thing she looked out, as she saw a bear go right in the lake for a good five minutes swimming. It then got out of the water and moseyed off into the woods. Gosh, Shirley, you’ll have to start charging a fee to swim in your lake.

Don Denotter broke some ribs recently and is in the hospital with pneumonia.

Please keep Donnie in your special thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

A boy was asked, “Is your father a Christian?”

“I heard that he was,” he answered, “but he’s not working at it.”

How about you?

No, you’re not saved because of your works, but if you’re saved you’ll work.

Isn’t it time you put some motion to your devotion and some expression to your impression?

We have too many lily Christians – “they toil not and neither do they spin.”

They’re like canned fruit – sealed tight to keep from working.

But the Living Bible says, “Do good things that result from being saved. For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey him, and then helping you do what he wants.”

Sunday, July 17 A report of a car that went into a very steep ditch at 8:06 a.m. drew questions when the driver was not found. The car, belonging to Luther West Side Company of Eau Claire and the Twin Cities area, appeared to be trying to turn around in the road on Schnacky Road, near Eastside Road, when it apparently went too far into the ditch and had to be removed by a tow truck. The driver has still not been identified. No damage or injuries were reported.

Wednesday, July 20 At 1:13 p.m., Matthew A. Held, 34, Springbrook, was turning into his driveway off of Hwy. 63, just south of Springbrook, when a FedEx truck caught a ladder that was protruding from the back of his truck. The driver of the FedEx truck is identified as Duane R. Black, 47, Bloomer. The only damage was to the mirror on the passenger side of the FedEx truck. No injuries were reported.

Friday, July 22 John E. Weaver, 68, Spooner, was driving westbound on Hwy. 63 at Golden Pond Lane, when he slowed down for a vehicle in front of him to make a left-hand turn. Weaver was pulling a trailer with his pontoon in hull. Gerald E. Lamb, 78, Machesney Park, Ill., failed to stop in time and rear-ended the pontoon, hitting the motor, causing moderate damage. Lamb had to have his vehicle towed with severe damage noted. No injuries were reported.

Legislative houses at odds over extending unemployment benefits

by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON – A plan that would extend unemployment benefits by 13 weeks in Wisconsin could be in jeopardy after Republicans who run both houses of the Legislature passed different versions this week.

The version the Assembly passed would maintain a new one-week waiting period for unemployment benefits that was included in the recently signed state budget. The bill that passed the Senate got rid of the waiting period.

Both versions would tap roughly $90 million in federal money to extend unemployment benefits by 13 weeks. But unless both the Assembly and the Senate pass the same exact bill, that unemployment extension is effectively dead.

Milwaukee Democrat Christine Sinicki told Republicans they were demonstrating a bla-

tant disregard for their unemployed constituents.

“I don’t quite understand how you can possibly go back home to your districts and face these people, look these people in the eye, and tell them I put myself before you once again,” said Sinicki.

Democrats tried to force Assembly Republicans to support the Senate’s version of this plan that got rid of the waiting period. Republicans shot it down on a party-line vote.

Markesan Republican Joan Ballweg said keeping the waiting period would save Wisconsin’s unemployment fund up to $56 million a year. She said it was unfortunate that senators voted the way they did.

“It would have been nice and clean and easy. We would have been done by now and moving on with our break. But unfortunately we’ve gotta get this right.”
