STATEWIDE — With the start of the school year, drivers will once again need to watch for children and teens walking, biking or riding buses to and from school and follow laws designed to protect them. “Students, especially young children, are not always aware of the traffic around them, so drivers should expect the unexpected. Drivers will need to pay attention and slow down when approaching students who are walking or riding bikes. They also will need to be particularly cautious around school buses that are loading or unloading passengers,” says Captain Jeff Frenette of the Wisconsin State Patrol Northwest Region. According to Wisconsin law, drivers must stop a minimum of 20 feet from a stopped school bus with its red warning lights flashing. Drivers must stop whether the bus is on their side of road, on the opposite side of the road or at an intersection they are approaching. However, drivers are not required to stop for a school bus if they are traveling in the opposite direction on the other side of a divided roadway separated by a median or other physical barrier. When they are passed illegally, school bus drivers are authorized to report the violator to a law enforcement agency and a citation may be issued.

The owner of the vehicle, who might not be the offending driver, will then be responsible for paying the citation. A citation for failure of a vehicle to stop for a school bus costs $326.50 with four demerit points. If reported by a school bus driver, the vehicle owner’s liability for the illegal passing of a bus costs $326.50 with no demerit points.

Students walking to school: State law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians who have started crossing an intersection or crosswalk on a walk signal or on a green light if there’s no walk signal; who are crossing the road within a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection where there are no traffic lights or control signals; and when a vehicle is crossing a sidewalk or entering an alley or driveway. In addition, drivers may not legally overtake and pass any vehicle that has stopped for pedestrians at an intersection or crosswalk.

Drivers who fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians who are legally crossing roadways may be issued citations that cost approximately $175 to $232, depending on the type of violation, along with four demerit points assessed on their license. A citation for passing a vehicle that is stopped for pedestrians costs $326 with three demerit points.

Students biking to school: When drivers are passing bicycles traveling in the same direction, they must leave a safe distance of no less than 3 feet of clearance and must maintain that clearance until they have safely passed the bicycle. A violation of the state law that requires drivers to overtake and pass bicyclists safely costs a total of $200.50 with three demerit points. — from WSP

Shell Lake Elementary School receives DPI award

Wisconsin School of Recognition Award four consecutive years

by Jessica Beecroft MADISON — “I believe only 29 schools across the state have received it (Wisconsin School of Recognition Award) four or more years in a row and we are one of those 29,” said Shell Lake Schools Superintendent Jim Connell.

“Let’s start the 2011-12 school year celebrating what’s right in education,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers in announcing the 116 schools, out of more than 400 statewide, receiving recognition for their success in educating students from low-income families.

The 2011-12 Wisconsin School of Recognition awards go to schools that have some of the highest poverty rates in the state based on free and reduced-price school lunch data. Student achievement on the 2010-11 state reading and

mathematics examinations was above average for schools from similarly sized districts, schools, grade configurations and poverty levels. Each school also met adequate yearly progress for the past two years. Additionally, the schools either are Title I eligible or receive Title I funding to provide services to high numbers or high percentages of economically disadvantaged children.

Shell Lake Elementary has received this award for four years. Other area schools receiving recognition are Frederic Elementary for five years and the 7-12 school for two years; Stone Lake Elementary School, nine years; Webster Elementary School for three years and Webster Middle School, five years.

“In these schools, teachers, parents, administrators, other school staff members and the community work together to create an educational environment that supports children’s learning,” Evers said. “This award recognizes See Award, page 5

Security in Wisconsin after 9/11: 10 years later

SEPTEMBER 7, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3

A decade after 9/11 attacks, Wisconsin’s homeland security spending falls sharply

by Jason Smathers Wis. Center for Investigative Journalism Special to the Register STATEWIDE - La Crosse Fire Chief Gregg Cleveland says his firefighters could be at risk for injury or death in certain rescue situations, if specialized federally funded training is cut.

Before training, “firefighters were putting themselves at risk,” Cleveland says.

“That results in injuries and potential fatalities because they don’t have the expertise of doing this.”

Kristin Gunther, a state policy analyst who helps agricultural businesses plan responses to contamination or disruptions in the food supply, wonders whether her program will soon end. She says there’s no “long-term vision” for it beyond 2012.

Milwaukee Fire Chief Mark Rohlfing is unsure how southeastern Wisconsin will find new resources to prevent and respond to large-scale disasters now that a federally funded Milwaukee-area security program is in jeopardy.

That’s because federal funding for much of the state’s homeland security effort, designed to prepare and protect Wisconsin in the event of terrorist attacks and other emergencies, is being drastically cut as Congress focuses on states that are more likely terrorism targets.

The grant programs were launched in 2002 as a response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

A decade after the 9/11 attacks, Wisconsin is better prepared to prevent and respond to terrorism and natural disasters, experts say, thanks in part to more than $425 million in federal money allocated for state homeland-security efforts.

Local and national experts interviewed by the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism agree that the initiatives have enhanced emergency response and safety throughout the nation. But they sharply disagree about whether budget cuts proposed by Congress are a good idea.

Brig. Gen. Donald Dunbar, head of Wisconsin’s Homeland Security Council, says the state has made significant progress in preparedness since 9/11, but acknowledges the reduction in funding could harm some of those efforts.

“The drop in fiscal support will clearly affect our ability to address our priorities and may eliminate entire programs,” Dunbar says.

Michael Greenberger, director of the Center for Health and Homeland Security at the University of Maryland, says the drawdown of federal support will undermine state and local emergency response nationwide.

“It is already going on throughout the country,” Greenberger says. “We’re not talking about homeland security — we’re talking about traditional public safety, and that’s being eroded, day by day.”

Matt Mayer of the Heritage Foundation, who formerly headed the federal Homeland Security Office of Grants and

Training, says the cuts mean the nation is focusing its resources on heavily populated urban areas most at risk for manmade or natural disasters.

“We should stop sending money to Montana and Wyoming, significantly cut the money going to Wisconsin or Ohio,” says Mayer, a visiting fellow for the conservative think tank. “That’s not to say you won’t have a lone wolf incident in the Mall of America next to you … but no amount of money will help stop that.”

Wisconsin’s homeland security funding has declined sharply, from a height of more than $75 million in 2004 to between $16 million and $26 million this year. Such funding pays for hazardous materials response training, supports intelligence-gathering centers in Milwaukee and Madison and allows local agencies to buy equipment, such as the $400,000 mobile Emergency Command Center purchased by Dane County in 2004.

BURNETT COUNTY - Local authorities are seeking a 26-year-old escaped inmate in connection with an aggravated battery and vehicle theft at the Town of Blaine garage at about noon on Saturday, Sept. 3.

The Burnett County Sheriff's Department received a report of the incidents at approximately 12:30 p.m.

Deputies are seeking Caleb W. Smith, an escaped inmate from the Gordon Correctional Facility, as a possible suspect in

this incident. Smith walked away from a work detail in Minong during the early-morning hours of Saturday. He is described as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, with a long goatee and moustache. He has ties to

the Waukesha area. Smith fled from the Blaine Town Shop in the victim’s truck, a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado, bearing Wisconsin license plate 19774.

The victim in this incident, 82-year-old William Slipher of Danbury, was transported by ambulance to a Duluth hospital where his condition is improving.

Smith may have stolen a knife from the man he assaulted and should be considered armed and dangerous.

In May, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it was cutting 33 cities out of 2011 funding for the Urban Areas Security Initiative, a federal grant program that funds multijurisdictional terrorism prevention, including personnel, equipment and training, for urban communities at high risk of attack.

The Milwaukee-area program, which covers a five-county region in southeastern Wisconsin, was among those cut.

Even without funding moving forward, the program will not come to a grinding halt, says Greg Engle, homeland security program director for the state Office of Justice Assistance. He says the program can sustain itself for a time with grant money it has already received.

However, once that money is spent, the future of the urban-preparedness program is uncertain, Engle says.

In June, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 2012 homeland security appropriations bill, reducing overall funding by $1.1 billion to $42.3 billion.

Funding for state and local grant programs would be cut in half.

In addition, the state’s share of firefighter assistance grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency have dropped more than 50 percent over the past few years to about $10 million last year.

U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Alabama, sponsored the bill that cuts state homeland security grants. Aderholt estimated that $13 billion in state and local grants dating back to 2005 still had not been spent. He said the grant program needs to shrink until the department spends down the balance and can demonstrate that money has been used effectively.

“But we simply cannot keep throwing money into a clogged pipeline when our debt is soaring out of control,” Aderholt said on the House floor. “I believe it’s our duty to reform these grant programs.”

While experts like Mayer agree with Aderholt, others suggest the cuts might be made in haste.

Brian Jackson, a scientist for the RAND Corporation who specializes in terrorism preparedness, says there was such a rush to spend money to protect the nation in the wake of 9/11 that there was little focus on “building in” evaluation efforts to track programs effectiveness. “There is the risk,” he says, “that we will cut things that are effective and valuable.”

Demand that the government limit itself

Voters, who willingly vote for increased government control of our economy as a legal way to force others to provide themselves with a comfortable lifestyle, are destroying the freedoms that have made America prosper. When a private company fails under capitalism, the only people who pay the price for the failure are those who risked their investment money. When government fails, the citizens pay a terrible price, and American economic security is threatened or destroyed.

The savings and loan crisis of the 1980s developed because the 1966 Congress placed limits on savings rates that commercial banks and savings and loans could offer. This legislation resulted in slow growth, high interest rates and stagnation. The government also insured these institutions with public money thereby encouraging bankers to implement risky investment practices to sur-

vive this artificial environment created by the government. This moral dilemma was acerbated by President Carter who created the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act to encourage banks and savings associations to “help meet the credit needs of low-income families.”

President Clinton’s national homeownership strategy, Partners in the American Dream, modified standards for home mortgages to put low-income families into homes with little concern for the ability of those families to meet their financial commitments. Banking regulations and standards were left unchecked by regulators. When the government began relaxing loan underwriting standards and Fannie Mae automated the lending process by eliminating previous due diligence, the private sector also implemented these “standards” to remain competitive thereby corrupting the free market sys-

tem. Corrupt banking standards were devised by Fannie Mae, which used powerful government ties to manipulate lawmakers and eviscerate regulators while enriching its own executives and family members of complicit legislators.

The program was designed to buy votes from people by promising them something that they have not earned. The taxpayer is now burdened with the economic ruin that ensued.

When government policies opened the door for easy profits, Wall Street became a willing enabler to the destruction of the American economy by providing money for these loans knowing the government would take tax dollars from the middle class and others to cover any Wall Street losses. Another blow to the integrity of capitalism and free market principles.

According to “Reckless Endangerment,” written by Gretchen Morgenson, critics of these flawed government and

banking policies represented both political parties and were ignored or silenced by congressional accomplices, lobbyists and bankers who “used government studies that had been manipulated with flawed analysis to conclude that homeownership was a desired goal for all.”

These hypocritical leaders destroyed the value of the wealth held by the middle class while simultaneously bemoaning the diminishing middle class.

How often will our government be allowed to destroy our banking system, housing market and investment opportunities before the citizens of this country demand that the government limit itself to the duties defined in the Constitution?

Have you heard that the ABC news network has discouraged their reporters from wearing American flag pins? This is verified in www.truthorfiction.com.

Part of what this link tells us about the situation is that Sept. 11 created a wave of patriotism that we hadn’t seen in many years. This, however, created pressure for reporters who try to professionally earn and keep the trust of people. It seems they feel pressure to avoid personal partisan while reporting the news.

My question is, since when is there a problem in letting people know that we are American?

We are the American! No matter what denomination or party we claim to belong to, if we are legal, law-abiding citizens, then we should be proud to be an American! This is what our flag stands for! This is what thousands of our forefathers gave their lives for and this is why thousands lost their lives on Sept.

11, 2001.

I am deeply saddened that ABC news has stooped so low. While they are supposedly reporting the news they display a deep blindness of the heart. Some have advocated banning this network. I would encourage each of us to respect-

fully make our voices heard. We want our American flag displayed anywhere and everywhere possible. What can be wrong with that?

I would urge you to stop posting on Facebook (or whatever else you’re doing) long enough to go to the ABC Web site abc.go.com/site/contact-us and courteously make an appeal for them to rethink and undo the demising of our country which they are doing.

Now go out and hoist that flag. Stand proudly and salute her. In case you have forgotten the words to our pledge, here they are and never forget them:

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all.”

With Sept. 11 right around the corner, let every house display our national flag.

My prayer is that America will bless God as God has blessed us.

Wow, another Town and Country Days has come and gone. I am very pleased with what was able to be accomplished by dedicated and hardworking volunteers. What a fantastic job you did. Once again, you managed to outdo yourselves. Thanks for all the hard work and long hours you put in. I would like to name each and every one of you but you know who you are and for the sake of not remembering all and forgetting

someone, I will not even begin to try to name you. I heard many good comments regarding the many events. A member from the garden tractor pull club stated the track was one of the best they had pulled on. Also, the truck pull turned out to be great success. I was told by both organizations they are hoping to return next year. And of course the tractor pull is always a huge crowd pleaser as is the lake run and parade.

The fly-in breakfast was awesome and the planes we truly amazing. It was a spectacular event.

I was honored to be able to choose the mayor’s choice car in the second-annual car show. It was even more difficult a choice than last year.

Again, gratitude is extended for all the hard work and participation of the many volunteers. Town and Country Days would not have been the success it was

without you.

With the assistance of Jeff Parker and the city crew, along with the presence of Shell Lake Police Chief Clint Stariha and his staff as well as the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department and the Wisconsin State Patrol, Town and Country Days was a safe and pleasant environment.

by Glen Moberg Wisconsin Public Radio WAUSAU - The city of Wausau's Labor Day parade attracted big crowds Monday, Sept. 5, following a controversial attempt to keep Republicans out of it. The annual community event was politically charged.

The Republicans were put in the very rear of the parade right behind a Chevy van emblazoned with "Recall Walker" signs. The party faithful lined the route, and cheered for their officeholders, Con-

gressman Sean Duffy and state Sen. Pam Galloway.

But there were many who weren't happy to see them. Carl Marquardt is a local teacher and union supporter, "I'm disappointed. They are undermining everything that's been worked on for many years, the rights of workers, whether it be vacation days, pay, fair pay for all."

Sarah Ruffi is a Wausau attorney and Duffy supporter: "When I was driving past all the union folk, it felt like I was in

hostile territory. There are a whole bunch of us that have nonunion shops and we all work hard, and this is a day to celebrate the workers."

For Republican Duffy, it was his first Labor Day since being elected to Congress, "There were a few not so great comments but for the most part we had people clapping for us, cheering us on, giving us the thumbs up. The greatest compliment to labor is to work on job growth, because they want to make sure there are good paying jobs, and that's

what we're working on."

But for Democratic Assemblywoman Donna Seidel, the parade's grand marshal, the controversy was worth it, "This is the first time that so many of us have really paid attention to what this day is all about, that it was created by labor, for labor. The rights that have been diminished or taken away this year are going to be fought awfully hard to have them come back."

Seidel joined other Democrats for a union rally afterward.

Beef-handling demonstration and pasture walk in Turtle Lake

TURTLE LAKE — The NW Graziers Network invites you to a beef-handling demonstration and pasture walk at the Lynn Johnson farm north of Range in Polk County, 577 145th Ave., Turtle Lake, on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m.noon. The event will feature Dr. Amy Radunz, UW-Extension beef specialist, who will discuss cattle-handling facilities and other current topics of interest to beef producers. The entire operation is designed to be low-cost and run by one person.

The farm features a very practical, oneperson, cattle-handling facility for small or large beef herds emphasizing handling ease and safety. The demonstration will show how a seasonal maternity pen could be used as the entire cattlehandling facility for small farms. Other features include a crowding tub, AI chute and head locks that can be efficient for larger beef operations.

The herd consists of 70 moderate-sized red Angus and crossbreeds raised for the grass-finished market. Some are very old cows. Johnson purchased a small herd two years ago that included a half-

Johnson is rebuilding the red Angus herd using AI and extreme calving-ease sires on 2-year-old heifers. All of the 900pound heifers calved unassisted this spring.

Calves averaged about 60 pounds at birth.

The farm consists of 205 acres owned and rented with 165 acres of hay and rotationally grazed pastures. The watering system includes 4,000 feet of black plastic three-fourths-inch pipe with tanks available for each paddock. Fences are electrified, single wire. Johnson is developing a system of silvo-pastures by combining flash grazing with no-till interseeding of legumes and orchard grass into marginally wooded areas. He employs outwintering by pre-positioning round bales in the fall for winter feeding on sacrifice areas.

Total Hoops Academy fall sessions starting soon

RICE LAKE — Local youth basketball players have multiple options to improve their game this fall as the Total Hoops Academy and UW-Barron County host training events at the campus gymnasium in Rice Lake starting Sunday, Sept. 18. The camps will meet on either Sunday or Tuesday evenings for eight weeks. Last year 100-plus players from over a 70-mile radius attended the Total Hoops camps. The three options are: Fall Training Camp (grades nine - 12), Skills and Thrills (grades three - eight) and Shooting Stars (grades nine 12).

Fall Training Camp The camp is designed for players who want to have a tremendous upcoming season and are serious about their game. Limited to only 12 players, the individual instruction will focus on agility, core movement and critical basketball skill development at a very intense level. All interested players must be interviewed for acceptance into the program. Each player will train for eight sessions of 90 intense minutes. Boys and girls, grades nine - 12 have two choices for the Fall Training Camp; either Sundays at 7:30-9 p.m. or Tuesdays at 78:30 p.m. “Our Fall Training Camp will be the same process I went through with my college and professional teams in the fall. If a player truly wants to be great, this is the place to be,“ stated camp director David Swan.

Skills and Thrills

Held on Sundays from 4-5 p.m. (grades three - five) and 5-6 p.m. (grades six - eight). With a focus on serious skill development and fun, this camp is a must for all boy and girl youth players who want to excel at basketball. Thirty minutes of each session will focus on offensive skill development, 15 minutes on individual contests and 15 minutes on games and contests that incorporate team skills. The sessions have a limit of 40 participants.

Shooting Stars Held on Sundays from 6:15-7:15 p.m., for grades nine - 12. Shooting Stars is an intense shooting session focusing on all the critical aspects of building great shooters.

This is an excellent camp for those athletes who are involved in a fall sport, but want to improve their basketball skills. There will be a limit of 24 players.

All Total Hoops sessions have a 100-percent moneyback guarantee. Last year, end-of-the-year parent and player evaluations averaged over a 9.6 (out of a possible 10) for overall satisfaction and value. David Swan, founder of the Total Hoops Academy, will run the camps along with local coaches and college players.

Swan coached college basketball for seven years and professional basketball in Europe for six seasons with a winning percentage of over 80 percent and captured numerous championships. He has trained over 15,000 basketball players at camps around the globe and has developed a unique and effective training program for

skill development. He was also founder of the Norwegian Basketball Academy in Bergen, Norway, one of the most innovative youth basketball teaching centers in all of Europe.

For more information and the cost to attend, please call David Swan at 715-205-4424.

Participants can register for the Total Hoops Academy and pay online by going to www.barron.uwc.edu and clicking on Community Education, or by calling Samantha Heathman at 715-234-8176, ext. 5403, or emailing samantha.heathman@uwc.edu. — from Total Hoops Academy

Grandparents Day

Sunday, Sept. 11, is Grandparents Day. It was back in 1978 that President Jimmy Carter first declared Grandparents Day a national holiday. It is celebrated each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day. In my family we celebrate birthdays, all the major national holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. But I have overlooked Grandparents Day. So far in my family, I am the only one of my parents children that is a grandparent.

I am a happy grandmother to 2-year-old Adalyn that I have written about before. Now I can introduce you to my new grandson, Cole Matthew McGrane, who joined our family on Friday, Aug. 26. As the East Coast was preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Irene, my daughter, Amanda and hubby Carl, were preparing for the arrival of their second child, a baby boy.

In an e-mail from our friends in Wilmington, N.C., Ralph wrote that Irene was the perfect storm as the ocean churned days before the hurricane officially arrived giving him the best kayaking experience while others he knew were enjoying surfing. As Ralph received the per-

fect storm, we receive the perfect little boy.

Weighing in at 8 pounds, 14 ounces, and measuring 20 inches in length, Cole grabbed our attention.

As a second-timearound grandmother, I took the opportunity to spend some time in Woodbury, Minn., with my grandchildren. My energy level seemed to have decreased a bit as I spent time assisting my daughter and playing with granddaughter AdaTwo-year-old Adalyn lyn. But I wouldn’t have Belle and I welcome Cole Matthew. — Photo by traded the Amanda McGrane time I was able to be with this happy little family for anything, including a trip to the ocean.

National Guard soldiers deployed to help with storm cleanup

soldiers to Wisconsin.

“They just returned in March from a year deployment in Iraq, and now they are using their talents and dedication to serve the public here in northern Wisconsin.

Their participation will provide an invaluable service to these communities.”

“This is a win-win situation,” said Maj. Gen Don Dunbar, adjutant general of Wisconsin.

“Not only does this mission provide much-needed assistance to northern Wisconsin, but it is an excellent opportunity for our combat engineers - who just returned from the battlefield a little more than six months ago - to gain valuable real-world training in a domestic setting. It also underscores the dual-mission value the National Guard brings to Wisconsin and the nation.”

The IRT mission may have some soldiers providing assistance in the communities where they live.

The 724th Engineer Battalion is headquartered in Chippewa Falls with subordinate units in Hayward, Tomah, Prairie du Chien, Platteville, Medford, Richland Center, Ashland, Superior, Spooner, Tomahawk and Rhinelander.

Approximately 200 battalion members returned to Wisconsin in February following a deployment to Iraq in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn. - Gary King with information from office of Gov. Walker and Sen. Jauch

Fond du Lac School District uses teen mental health screening

by Shamane Mills Wisconsin Public Radio FOND DU LAC - More schools around the country are doing voluntary mental health screening of students. A Wisconsin district has been doing it for nearly a decade and will again this year. Physical checkups are routine for student athletes. Mental checkups for students are not as common, although Fond du Lac School District has been using a computerized questionnaire called Teen Screen for nine years. Marian Sheridan is health and safety coordinator for the district. She says 60 percent of eligible students are screened for a variety of mental health issues – if both the student and parents give permission, "Social phobias, anxieties, panic attacks, obsessive compulsion, depression, alcohol abuse, marijuana abuse and other substance abuse, suicide ideation and suicide attempts."

Fond du Lac offers the mental health assessment to ninth-graders. However, Teen Screen can be used as early as sixth grade. Leslie McGuire is deputy director of Teen Screen Center at Columbia University in New

York. She says they started the program in 2003 with 30 sites, "Now we've got over 600 school and community sites across the country implementing Teen Screen so it's definitely grown a lot over time. And Teen Screen's also offered in primary care offices, and we've got 1,700 primary-care providers who are implementing Teen Screen also."

In the Fond du Lac district, more than 6,000 kids have been screened in the last nine years; Sheridan says about a thousand were connected to support services.

THANK YOU

We at Badger Cranberry would like to thank all the people who came to help us celebrate our Centennial. It was wonderful to have so many people - those who have worked on the bog and in the warehouse over the years, family and friends who have been such a terrific support to us through the ups and downs that are a part of farming, neighbors and other folks who perhaps had never even seen a cranberry bog before - we loved seeing you all!

Special thanks to those who worked so hard to make it all happen: our employees, George Forseth and David Zaraza, who made the grounds so beautiful; Dave Larson, incredible pig and turkey chef; Heather Salquist, caterer extraordinaire; granddaughter Rachael who made the terrific desserts; Micky Rummel, manager of the keg; our friends the Maces who came for the weekend to help us prepare; and lots of family and friends who furnished pictures for the display and video. Lots of thanks also to cousin Lee Swan and his team of horses for the wonderful wagon tours of the marsh.

All of you made the day a very special memory for us.

BURNETT/DOUGLAS COUNTIES - Soldiers from the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 724th Engineer Battalion will deploy to Burnett and Douglas counties Sept. 9-30 to remove debris left by powerful July storms.

Gov. Scott Walker said he was “thrilled” that approximately 64 men and women of the 724th would begin preparing to clear away the debris on Tuesday, Sept. 6, and begin on-site work Sept. 9.

“During times of crisis, it is important that all units of government work together to efficiently and effectively use taxpayer resources to assist those in need,” Walker said.

“That is exactly what will happen in this case, thanks in large part to the efforts of the Wisconsin National Guard.”

More than 130,000 acres in six northern Wisconsin counties were blown down in three storms this summer, beginning with the July 1 storm that produced 100mph winds.

Roads were cleared of debris by local governments,

but rights of way remain littered with tangled branches, limbs and tree trunks.

That debris poses a large fire hazard and may impede winter snowplowing if not removed - the task exceeds the means of local governments.

The arrival of National Guard troops is part of the Innovative Readiness Training project which allows the National Guard to use its military skills and equipment to assist communities in need. Walker’s declaration of a state of emergency for the counties hit by the storm opened the door for the utilization of the National Guard. The mission will use federal funds from the fiscal year 2011.

State Sen. Bob Jauch said the announcement “affirms the essential role that both state and federal governments play in helping local communities respond to natural disasters.” He said the $500,000 federal training grant obtained by the state to pay for this operation will help reduce the burden on communities impacted by these storms.

“Local government budgets are under severe strain right now, and these communities have already expended $1.8 million in cleanup-related expenses,” noted Jauch. “They simply cannot absorb any further costs on their own.”

Jauch added that the utilization of the National Guard in this situation underscores the value of these

Lakers chalk up third win of the season

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — With a 28-13 win over the Siren Dragons, the Shell Lake Lakers football team extended their season record to 3-0. The Friday, Sept. 2, game was the closest of the season as Siren led at halftime 7-0 after Evan Oachs scored on a 6-yard run. That drive for Siren started after Siren defender Reuben Mixsooke recovered a Laker fumble on the Siren 10-yard line. Siren stalled on the Laker 17-yard line, third and 25, the backup Siren quarterback connected and it was first and goal on the 6-yard line. That was the only score for the first half as Siren’s tough defense kept Shell Lake out of scoring position.

Shell Lake had prepared to defend against a passing game and Siren came at them with a simple running game. With two players in the backfield the center

would hike to the quarterback or to the running back, he would pick a hole in the line and run for 2 or 3 yards.

This play was necessary for Siren because they were playing without their regular quarterback. Siren was able to move the ball and score 13 points against a team that had shut out its first two opponents.

In the first series of the second half, Shell Lake moved the ball 75 yards on two plays after quarterback Caleb Parker connected with AJ Denotter. The extra point was good and it was a new game at 7-7. Shell Lake recovered a Siren fumble on the Siren 44-yard line. Jon Lloyd moved it down to the 34-yard line on a Parker pass.

After a Siren sack it was second and 19 on the 25-yard line. Parker connected with BJ Burton for a 25-yard touchdown pass and with the extra point it was 14-7 halfway through the third quarter. A second Shell Lake

fumble recovered by Andrew Brown set up the second Oachs touchdown and Siren trailed by one point after Burton blocked the extra-point kick. Denotter made it a 20-13 game after a 9-yard run with 7:44 left in the game.

It was still anyone’s game until Jesse Gronning converted a first down on fourth and 12 in the red zone.

Burton’s touchdown run and the two-extra-point conversion run by Gronning made it 28-13. Siren fumbled on the ensuing kickoff, Austin Williams recovered and Shell Lake ran the clock down.

Shell Lake will face Birchwood in a Saturday, Sept.

10, game. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. Birchwood is 0-2 for the season. The undefeated Frederic Vikings will host the undefeated Turtle Lake Lakers in a showdown Friday, Sept. 9. This will be a good game to scout as Shell Lake will be playing these two teams.

Sarona

by Marian Furchtenicht

My fall raspberries are bearing, they are so big and delicious, and apples are hanging heavy on the apple trees.

There’s lots of mosquitoes, little ones, but they’re mighty. The crickets are chirping in the evenings, fawns have lost their spots and bucks are starting to rub – on my apple tree anyway – shedding velvet from their antlers. Early goose season opens on Thursday and bear season next weekend for those lucky enough to get a

permit. Schools started and yellow buses are rolling. All signs September days are here.

Greg Krantz flew down to Amarillo, Texas, last Friday, rented a 26-foot moving truck and trailer for her car, loaded daughter Ericka’s 13 years of accumulated stuff, started back Sunday noon and got here Monday afternoon.

Wood County near Stevens Point. The kids, McClaine and Chane, are staying with grandparents, Greg and Sue Krantz, and started school in Shell Lake until their mom finds a place to live. Greg reports it was very hectic five days in the 104-degree heat and everything is brown, burned to a crisp there. They are so happy to have their daughter and grandkids up here closer to them.

Sue Krantz was appointed to the Shell Lake Library Board and will be selling books at the book sale at Town and Country Days, a fundraiser for the library.

Mavis Schlapper had supper at Fritz and Mary Mancl’s on Monday night and had a great visit.

Al and Joleen Loew attended his Rice Lake 60th class reunion at Lehmann’s in Rice Lake at a Friday night get-together and the Saturday dinner. They reported that of the 106 graduates, 40 classmates attended and 35 from the class are deceased. One of his classmates was Joan Simonson who once lived in Sarona. Her father was head cook at Ted Hagg’s Sarona House for several years. Joan and her sister, Boots, attended the 100-year celebration of Sarona Methodist Church on Sunday, also.

Al and Joleen said their grandson, Andrew, who graduated from Menomonie High School this spring, left for Iowa as he was accepted on the Junior Mason City Bulls hockey team. Congrats to him.

My daughter, Cindy Wilkens, called from Colorado and said she made the hike up to Pike’s Peak but rode back down. She reported it was just awesome.

Elaine Ryan and Rocky Furchtenicht went to Dodge Center, Minn., Friday to attend the funeral for her uncle, Dennis Weitzenkamp. Sympathy is extended to her family.

Sept. 9, Ceska Opera in Haugen presents their fall variety show. Contact Bob at 715-234-5600 for tickets.

My dog, Lucky, went to the neighbors next door and stole a big suet block with corn and sunflower seeds that had been set out for the birds. I was wondering how to make her take it back and apologize but ended up taking it back myself and had a great visit. They thought it was funny.

Happy birthday wishes this week to Brenda Zaloudek, Ryan Musil and Mary Engan, Sept. 9; Janice Sutherland, Cully Butterfield, Tanner Kemp, Sept. 10; Sharon Wilber, LuAnne Ingbretson, Lynn Schmitz, Dr. Allan Haesemeyer, Sept. 11; Lisa Morevec, June Wuethrich and Brandon Reynolds, Sept. 12; Monte Zaloudek, Janna Koening, Debbie Elbe and Clarence Thompson, Sept. 13; and Ryan Kope, Sept. 14.

Rid your home of hazardous chemicals & medications correctly and for free this Saturday

The final hazardous waste collections

for our area will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10, in Spooner at the household hazardous waste collection Site located near the Washburn County Area Humane Society and food pantry on Cottonwood Avenue from 9 a.m.-1 pm.

Burnett and Washburn county residents are encouraged to use this collection.

This event — the NW Cleansweep Program — collects household hazardous waste from residents free of charge. It is a valuable program to our counties because it provides an outlet for residents to safely dispose of potentially harmful substances — both for humans and for animals and the environment. Examples of items collected are: old gas and antifreeze, oil-based paints and stains, strippers, battery acid, herbicides, pesticides and insecticides, mercury-containing items such as old thermometers and thermostats, pool chemicals, photo chemicals, caustic cleaners, fertilizers, solvents and many, many other items.

Medications that are outdated or no longer needed will also be accepted at this event free of charge. This is an excellent opportunity for you to rid your home of these often dangerous materials. Toilets and sinks should no longer be used for disposing old or unused medications, say pharmacists, poison control specialists, environmental scientists and sewage plant operators, in contradiction of their own past advice.

This abrupt policy change comes after

studies found pharmaceuticals in rivers and lakes across the United States and after other research suggesting that those common drugs are damaging the health and reproduction of fish, said Kevin Shafer, executive director of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.

Sewage treatment plants are not designed to remove medications, Shafer said. Bacteria used in treatment digest organic waste, but not chemicals. Consequently, prescription and over-thecounter drugs that are excreted by people or flushed down toilets and poured into sinks generally flow through treatment plants and are discharged to waterways, he said. “The evolving science shows that pharmaceuticals and personal care products are having an impact on aquatic life,” Shafer said. For that reason, Northwest Regional Planning Commission’s Northwest Cleansweep program is sponsoring this collection held in conjunction with the hazardous waste collection event.

Any expired or unwanted prescription drugs or over-the-counter products can be dropped off at the collection from 9 a.m.–1 p.m.

Such collections encourage people to clean out medicine cabinets and prevent accidental poisonings of children. Pharmacist David Hopp has graciously agreed again this year to sort the items and separate any federally controlled

substances, such as narcotic painkillers.

All controlled substances will be handed over to law enforcement for proper disposal. Illegal drugs, needles, sharp objects, IV bags or other bloodcont aminated materials will not be accepted. Residents concerned about privacy may remove or color over names on prescription medicine containers before turning them in, but please leave the name of the medication intact so the pharmacist knows what is in the bottle.

A growing body of research indicates that hormones and drugs that mimic the effects of hormones are interfering with reproduction in fish. The chemicals can disrupt their endocrine systems, which produce hormones that regulate reproduction and development.

If you wish to dispose of computer equipment or appliances, the Spooner recycling site accepts these items yearround for free. We ask that you please bring these items (computers and appliances) to the recycling site (where most of these items are accepted for free) instead of the hazardous waste event.

The Spooner recycling site is located behind the Northwest Regional Planning Commission building at 1400 South River St. (Hwy. 63). Hours of operation are Wednesday 4-7 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

Please note there is a cost for televisions and DVD, VCR, DVR players, etc.

Earth notes • Jen Barton

Currently, miscellaneous electronics such as stereos, adding machines, etc., are not accepted for disposal at this site and can be placed in your regular garbage. The only items accepted at the recycling site are items which are banned from the landfill including: computer equipment, faxes, scanners, copiers, TVs, and other video players such as DVD players, VCRs, and DVDs. Please call Jen for more info at 715-635-2197, or e-mail her at jbarton@ nwrpc.com.

Also accepted the day of the collection, for a fee, are oil filters and fluorescent lightbulbs. However, you do not need to wait until a HHW collection event to dispose of fluorescent bulbs, oil filters or batteries. Burnett and Washburn counties currently have five fullservice recycling sites where these materials are accepted year-round.

Please call Jen at 715-635-2197, or e-mail her at jbarton@nwrpc.com for questions on where to dispose of tires, appliances, oil filters, fluorescent lightbulbs, computers, batteries and motor oil.

Examples of items not accepted at this special collection event include: latex paint (is nonhazardous and should be dried out and disposed of in your regular garbage), dried out latex paint cans (these are also garbage), alkaline batteries (currently are not accepted in our region for recycling, dispose of in regular garbage), ammunition, explosives, asbestos, and used motor oil. Call Jen for locations that accept used oil, or call your local service garage.

“A Time to Remember, a Time to Prepare”

Wisconsin’s first responders highlighted in emergency preparedness campaign

STATEWIDE — It’s hard to believe, but this September will mark the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. This is a time to remember the lives that were lost in the attacks and honor those who protect people every day - from police to fire to EMS. This is also the time to renew our commitment to prepare and plan for emergencies.

Are you ready Washburn County?

This has been a busy summer. There has been everything from severe heat to straight-line winds. Now is the time to take just a few minute so make sure you, your family and friends are ready. What should you do?

Households should have an emergency supply kit so they can be self-reliant for at least three days in case of emergency. They should also have a plan for how they will respond and reconnect after an emergency.

For businesses, being prepared means employers have planned for how they will survive a disaster. They’ve backed up critical information, developed a plan for assisting employees on-site, established a call tree to account for employees, and identified back-up sources of power and supplies.

For schools, being prepared means districts have developed, implemented and communicated crisis plans.

For everyone being ready means staying informed and knowing how to get information and alerts from local, county, tribal and state emergency man-

Grant-A-Wish program gives back

agement agencies.

Everyone needs to understand the specific risks in their community and preparing for them.

You can find great tools to do all this and more on ReadyWisconsin.wi.gov.

You can view a public service announcement featuring first responders from around Wisconsin urging everyone to be ready for an emergency. You can also sign up for the ReadyWisconsin Trivia Challenge for your chance to win an emergency supply kit.

Getting ready now can save lives later.

This is a time to remember, a time to prepare.

Please visit Washburn County Emergency Management Web page for more preparedness information at www.co.washburn.wi.us/departments/ emergency-management.

Wisconsin first responders are encouraging families to be prepared for future disasters and emergencies as part of a new statewide public service campaign.

“A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare” features first responders from across Wisconsin. The PSA will air on TV stations statewide in September and is produced by Wisconsin Emergency Management through its ReadyWisconsin preparedness program.

“Recent deadly tornadoes in Wisconsin and the widespread destruction of Hurricane Irene show the importance of being prepared,” says WEM Administrator Brian Satula. “We never know when emergencies and disasters will strike – that’s why it is important to be ready now.” — from WCEM

Barronett by Judy Pieper

Boy, I have nothing for you this week.

Because of the Labor Day weekend, our deadline was Friday, and what in the world can happen in a busy little town like Barronett from Monday to Friday?

Not a lot.

Don, Anitia, Ryan and Suzy Lehmann, Jerry and Penny Sundvall, Pat Olson and Duane and I went to the Minnesota State Fair on Wednesday. We picked the perfect day for it. It was overcast and a little cool most of the day. We had a very nice time pigging out and looking at all the exhibits. We picked up a couple of pointers about growing grapes in the horticulture building. But, of course, the highlight of the day was looking at all the different kinds of chickens. They are just beautiful. Next spring, seeing as how we are retired and have all kinds of time now, I’m going to order some chicks.

Don’t worry, we won’t keep them here at the house, we’ll have them out of town at the garden. Can you imagine what the Herman family, who owns Bistro 63, would think of us if we kept chickens in the yard right next to their restaurant! It couldn’t possibly be good.

Lynn Thon and I had a chance to ooh and aah over that beautiful little Lil-

lianna Herman again last week.

Grandma Sharon had her out for a stroll and she stopped so we could see her. She is one of the cutest little babies I have ever seen. She has beautiful brown eyes and lots and lots of long, dark curly hair.

What a little heartbreaker she will be in a few years.

Did you remember to write the dates of the Color Fest down on your calendar? In case you didn’t, it’s Sept. 16-18. I forgot to tell you last week that if you donate a new, unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots, you will receive a free beverage of your choice. Oh, and there is a kiddy parade at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

So, if you have little ones at home, or grandchildren or neighbors who would be interested, help them get their bikes, trikes or wagons all decorated up so they can march in the parade. If they have any musical instruments they like to play, that would be fun too. Maybe we even have a couple of little clowns or jugglers out there. I’m really looking forward to the parade and the rest of the Color Fest events.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you had a really nice long weekend. See you later.

Cumberland Shooting Stars granted 34 wishes to hospitals through its Grant-A-Wish program. — Photo submitted CUMBERLAND — Each year Cumberland Shooting Stars sends a Grant-AWish letter to all hospitals that currently carry the Shooting Stars emergency care bags.

A maid worked for an artist, and every night she was fascinated by the form of a person emerging from the marble.

One night she came in just as the artist was about to leave. For the first time she noticed the fully sculpted form. “That,” she exclaimed, “is Abraham Lincoln.

How did you know he was in there?”

The Lord looks at you and me and he sees not only what we are, but what we can be.

One day he said to one, “You’re Simon,” a rickety character. But, he added, “You will be called Peter,” a rocklike character.

The Lord is the master sculptor. Let him make your life beautiful, won’t you?

Little store of bygone days

by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake Sometimes they are called country stores, and sometimes neighborhood stores, or Mom and Pop stores, but the little stores of long ago had many things in common. Mainly, they were a business where, when you entered, the proprietors welcomed you and served you.

They were usually small places. There might be large windows displaying goods in front, shaded by a cloth awning, and a door with a bell attached that jingled to announce you. Of course, all the little stores were different. Some had a gasoline pump outside where you could buy gas for your car, maybe one of those gravity pumps that were glass on top so you could see the gas you pumped into it. Others might not sell gas, but might have a metal barrel where you could get a can filled up for you with kerosene. They were run by individuals who were different, serving the needs of an area, so they were different, as well.

My first memories of the small retail grocery stores in my hometown are pleasant and always make me smile. It was a slower and simpler time. The little places have nearly been replaced by 24-hour mega supermarkets and convenience-food places. The mobile population, merchandising techniques and advanced technology, have greatly changed our buying habits, and along the way we are losing the small merchants of yesteryear. Some survive but are hanging on by their fingertips. Distributors and suppliers don’t want to bother with small operations. I hate to see them go.

One of the best experiences when I was small was going to the store. There would be so many good things all together in one place. Shelves held canned things and there were bins full of potatoes and onions. There was always the storekeeper to greet you and call you by name. He would be wearing a neat suit, most likely a white shirt rolled up at the sleeves, with a large white apron, and he would ask you what he could do for you.

He was there to wait on you.

There would be a case holding meat, lunch meats, and cheeses that the store man could slice for you and wrap in a paper and tie it with a string. He would get whatever you wanted and set the items on the counter.

If you wanted apples, he would let you choose the ones you wanted and put them in a sack. When all of the items you asked for were assembled he would jot down the prices of each in a column, add it up, and tell you the total.

It was always nice to buy a new Chief tablet for school or a pencil or ink sheets, or, something we often needed in those days, pen points for the pens we had to use to write with ink. The pens often needed new metal points and you had to have them unless you were wealthy enough to own a fountain pen that held a supply of ink.

If you had a couple of pennies to spend, he would stand and wait patiently by the glass candy case while you made your selection. There would be a variety of candy sweets, and it was hard to decide. You might point out lemon drops, jawbreakers, lollipops, peppermint sticks, caramels or licorice whips. He would place them in a little brown paper sack. He would pack together all your purchases in a bag and thank you. There was always that personal aspect of visiting a small neighborhood store.

They also had ice cream and you might be able to pick out chocolate, strawberry or vanilla, for your icecream cone, and he would pack it in the cone for you.

Did I mention popsicles? Yes, they had them, and you could break one in half and give the extra half to your friend.

When I think of small things, I remember some of the old-time products with brand names that have passed into this generation.

Most folks in the old days ate oatmeal for breakfast.

The Quaker Oats man smiled from the round cardboard container and he looks about the same now.

Wheaties, from General Mills, brings me memories of radio programs sponsored by this dry cereal company.

It was Jack Armstrong, the all-American boy. There were others, too, adventure stories on the radio for 15 minutes every weekday afternoon, just for kids.

Another item we used was Karo syrup. You needed it for your pancakes. You could also get Log Cabin syrup, sold in small tins shaped like little log cabins. Remember Pet milk? It was condensed milk, in competition with Carnation canned milk. The milk was used as a formula for babies, with a little Karo syrup added.

Cleaning products are still around. Fels-Naptha soap was sold as a bar, for scrubbing dirty clothes in an effort to get them clean, and for scrubbing floors and such things. It was all in a day’s work in those days for the women. It was also sold in flakes. At one time you got a glass tumbler as a prize in every box of soap you bought.

Dutch cleanser is still around, and so is Bon Ami. Another item was 20 Mule Team Borax, good to use as a water softener. There were bars of Ivory soap, for some reason called 99 and 44/100-percent pure. I guess it had something to do with the manufacturing process where the soap was made.

If you had a chest cold, your mother might buy Vicks Vap-o-Rub and rub your chest with it when she put you to bed. If you had a bad cough you could get a little box of cough drops featuring the pictures of two bearded men, one on each side, guarding the trade name Smith Brothers.

I like to see the old brands hanging on, and some of the newer ones are all right. But I miss some of the personal aspect of the little store where your small purchases seemed to matter just as much as the larger ones.

Farmers continue to send hay to Oklahoma

by Teresa Shipley Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Wisconsin farmers continue to send hay to drought-stricken Oklahoma to help farmers keep their animals from starving.

Severe drought and wildfires have plagued Oklahoma this summer, destroying both crops and homes.

In August, the majority of the counties in the state were declared a disaster area.

The situation has been so bad for some farmers they've been forced to sell off part of their herds. But now auction houses are so full they can't accept more animals.

The Wisconsin-based group Family Farm Defenders is helping send hay to the Oklahoma farmers to keep their animals alive.

John Kinsman is an organic dairy farmer near Reedsburg who's helping coordinate the effort. He says two semi trucks full of hay have reached Oklahoma with more on the way, "And we do have about eight or nine semi loads here to go. It's very good."

An Oklahoma farm representative estimated about 50 family farms were on the brink of losing their operations to the drought. He said each farm's herd would need at least a bale of hay each day to survive.

Study suggests students living on campus do better academically

by Steve Roisum Wisconsin Public Radio LA CROSSE - It's the time of year when students move into the dorms through the UW system. One Wisconsin researcher says those who live on campus tend to do better academically.

University of Wisconsin-La Crosse assistant professor James Murray says a study of approximately 360 Indiana University-Purdue University college students found those who lived on campus had a grade-point average on average three- to nine-tenths higher than those who didn't. Murray says the study also found those who lived on campus then moved off campus, still had a higher GPA than those who never lived on campus. On average three- to five-tenths higher. He says a second study looked at why students who lived

at least a year on campus seemed to do better than their peers, "Years later they were more likely to study with their classmates, they were less likely to engage in alcohol use."

UW-La Crosse Senior Mackenzie Watzka is studying biology. She spent her freshman year on campus. She says success lies in the student, and not where the student lives, "I think it's kind of just the type of student you are, and if you're willing to put in the effort, you'll get it done, I think the library is open to everyone and I find this is easier to study in my room in my apartment, in a dorm there's so many people around you."

Murray co-authored the two studies on the impact campus living has on grade-point averages. The first study was published in the Economics Bulletin, and second in the American Journal of Business education.

School bus drivers may be banned from using cell phones

544951 44a,b,c 3r,L

MADISON - Wisconsin lawmakers are considering a ban on using cell phones behind the wheel - not for all motorists, just school bus drivers. The author of the bill is Republican Rep. Samantha Kerkman of Powers Lake.

She says the legislation she's proposing will affect many children, including her own, "My little guy's getting on the school bus for the first time. It's an exciting time in our household for him to take the bus."

The bill prohibits a school bus driver from using a cell phone while the bus is operating. This includes a parked bus waiting for passengers. Rep. Andy Jorgenson of Fort Atkinson says clarity is needed so bus drivers can take calls without endangering anyone, "You're

sitting at a stop. Maybe there isn't any kids coming on at all, but yet if that cell phone rings you're going to be in violation? Sometimes a bus driver's got to sit at a spot for a while before the kids do come. " Many bus companies already have safety policies on cell phone use. Cumberland Bus Service owner John Peichle says he lets his drivers have their own cell phones, but tells them not to use them while driving, "Do I want them driving, talking and texting? No. But can they pull over, call me? Yes." Under the proposal, the first violation is a $200 fine.

A second offense within two years would result in loss of school bus driving privileges. - submitted

544887 WNAXLP

by Rich Kremer Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - School boards across Wisconsin are coming out with employee handbooks to replace union contracts after the elimination of most collective bargaining powers for teachers. Some major trends include elimination of seniority protection and just cause for teacher nonrenewal.

Cadott School District Administrator Joe Zydowsky says the school board has been working since spring on the employee handbook that will set the work rules for district personnel. Zydowsky says they did solicit comments from teachers and staff while writing the book, "We tried to have as much input as possible but ultimately it came down to being the responsibility of the school board."

The finished product eliminates layoff protections based on seniority and a provision that the district provide just cause for not renewing a teacher's contract. Zydowsky says those changes give the district flexibility in personnel matters, "Sometimes that might mean that we have to make a reduction in staff. Sometimes that might mean we need to make a change in staff and the new employment policies of our school district will make it easier for us to make those changes when they're necessary."

Barry Forbes is co-director of legal services for the Wisconsin Association of School Boards. He says around 275 school districts didn't extend union contracts and are now working on their own rules. He says the changes at the
