WASHBURN/POLK COUNTIES – The impact of the recently signed Wisconsin State Budget and the impact on state school aid for local school districts means those districts can finalize their budgets, and finally work with hard numbers on the reality of those reductions. While most local school districts will see at least 10-percent state aid reduction, the actual monetary impacts vary greatly across the region, from as high as $1.093 million in Osceola to just over $18,000 in Webster. The more serious cuts likely mean staff and/or program cuts in some districts, especially in those schools with declining en-

the storm caused power outages in threequarters of Burnett County, as well as parts of Washburn County. The Shell Lake and Spooner areas, on the edge of the storm, were without power but escaped the severity witnessed in Burnett County. An 11-year-old Hinckley, Minn. girl, McKenzie Klar, died when a tree fell on her as she ran from a playground at Scenic View Campground on Poquette Lake in the Town of Dewey, to her family’s trailer, after lightning struck the tree. The oak tree was so large it took 20 men to remove it. She was pronounced dead at 8:12 p.m. at Spooner Hospital. Also storm-related was the death of 51year-old Kerry Richter of Webster. He and his brother had been clearing the road from their house out to CTH D after the storm struck. After they got back to the house Richter said he didn’t feel well, took a nitro
pill and died. His brother told Burnett County Medical Examiner Mike Maloney that Kerry had suffered four or five heart attacks in the past. There were approximately 39 storm-related injuries, according to Burnett County Sheriff Dean Roland. Three persons were critically injured and airlifted to hospitals in the Twin Cities, including a person involved in an ATV accident. Details surrounding the critically injured were not available at press time. The storm, which swept across the Dakotas and Minnesota before hitting Wisconsin, traveled northeast, across Burnett County to Ashland County, encompassing parts of Washburn, Sawyer and Douglas counties. According to Carol Christenson from the See Storm, page 3

National Weather Service at Duluth, there was no indication of tornadic activity. “The damage was done by good, strong straight-line winds,” Christenson said at a press conference Saturday at the Burnett County Government Center. Christenson said she believed winds reached 100 to 110 miles an hour. Some Burnett County residents claim to have seen funnel clouds. Vicki Koenen of Danbury said a tornado touched down in a field across from her daughter Ginger’s home. “Other people in town watched the funnel cloud as it went across the northwest end of Danbury,” she said. A clear path of destruction can be seen in aerial photos from Yellow Lake northeast to the Webb Lake area. Sheriff Roland said the storm came at a time when Burnett County’s population swells from 17,00 to 80,000 as the summer tourism season reaches its peak. Combined with the fact that more Minnesotans were likely vacationing in Wisconsin in light of that state’s closing of its state parks as part of a state government shutdown, the county had record numbers of people visiting when the storm hit. “Disaster is something we have grown to work with,” Roland said, in reference to the tornado that struck southern Burnett County on June 18, 2001. “We are getting mutual aid and everything is going smoothly.”
Thousands yet without power Crews from Northwestern Wisconsin Electric and Polk-Burnett Electric have been working since Friday evening to restore power to customers in the path of Friday evening’s massive windstorm. Thousands remained without power as of Tuesday morning, July 5. PBEC estimates that about 3,400 of their customers were still without power as of Monday morning, July 4, a little more than half of the customers who lost power (6,000). Their customers hardest hit are in areas just south of Grantsburg through Siren, Webster and east to McKenzie Lakes. The co-op is working to restore electricity as quickly as possible for members. Linemen from neighboring co-ops and tree-clearing contractors have been called in to help. PBEC is using Twitter and the Internet to keep customers up to date with power restoration. Go to www.polkburnett.com. NWE estimates that as of Tuesday morning, July 5, 3,500 of their customers remained without power. The Yellow Lake, Webb Lake and Markville, Minn. areas had the largest amount of outstanding widespread outages. “We are still waiting for access into many of these areas and anticipate outages well into the week of July 11,” said a news release issued Tuesday.

School aid cuts/from page 1 rollments. The recently enacted state budget set general state school aid at $4.262 billion for the 2011-12 school year, an 8.4 percent decrease from this year, meaning 410 of the state’s 424 public school districts will receive less school aid from the state for the 2011-12 school year than they did in the previous year. General school aid is made up of three parts: equalization aid, integration aid, and special adjustment aid. Largely because of the decrease in the state’s share of support for education, nearly 70 percent of districts became eligible for special adjustment aid this year. That type of aid is intended to provide school districts with 90 percent of the state general aid they received in the previous year, which jibes with the final, approximate local reduction percentages. That ratio was very close to what all local districts ended up with as their final aid reduction, with only Unity getting a slightly taller aid reduction of 11.76-percent. Two semi-local districts technically received an increase: St. Croix Central in Hammond (1.74-percent) and Somerset (.11 percent). Otherwise, a handful of re-

gional districts held at static or close to steady: Barron, Baldwin-Woodville, New Richmond and a few others had their aid cut by just around 1-percent. Other than those districts, the local exceptions were rare. Estimated aid amounts are based on budgeted school district data from the 2010-11 school year, which include membership, shared costs, and property value. School membership, which is not the same as enrollment, is estimated to be down by nearly 1,000 full-time equivalent students statewide, and totaled

Lake is healthy, groundwater study shows
by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake District held its annual meeting Saturday, June 25. Paul Juchem, guest speaker and author of the Shell Lake Groundwater Study that had just been completed, summed up the study by saying that the general health of the lake is very good. Juchem is a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey-Wisconsin Water Science Center, Middleton. The groundwater study was required by the Shell Lake to Yellow River Diversion Project permit. The mission of the study was to develop a better understanding of Shell Lake, inputs and outflow and the impact on the groundwater in the surrounding area. The 2003 diversion drew 3 billion gallons of water from the lake, dropping the lake level down 3 feet and another half gallon drop in the following years due to the drought. The lake levels in the adjacent lakes — Round, Little Ripley and Big Ripley — dropped one-half foot. Over time the water seeps back into the lake from the surrounding groundwater. Shell Lake has a thick clay level that is

tion. The annual meeting followed the presentation in which a host of subjects were discussed. Dave Vold, lake coordinator, gave his report stating that the lake level currently is 1,218.5, 1 foot higher than last year’s level. He reported on the 66 conditions that Shell Lake had to meet to get the permit for the 2003 diversion stating that every condition was met.

Letters to the editor
Cell Phones For Soldiers program
Gratitude is extended to everyone who has donated his or her used cell phones to the Cell Phones For Soldiers program. Recently we shipped another 79 phones, bringing our total for this year to 322. This is a great program, and I am very appreciative of everyone who has helped make it a success. These phones will be dismantled and the recyclable parts are sold. The proceeds from these parts are used to purchase prepaid phone cards for soldiers serving overseas, to help them keep in touch with their families and friends.
This not only does something nice for our servicemen and women, but also keeps the discarded phones out of the landfill. We have three drop-off points in Spooner: The Veterans Service Office located in the Washburn County Highway Complex on CTH H, the Washburn County Extension Office located on the road to the fairgrounds across from Subway at the south end of Spooner and the Washburn County Tourism Office on River Street north of McDonald’s. We also accept phones at the Washburn
County Clerk’s Office in Shell Lake. If you have a used cell phone that you would like to donate, please feel free to drop it off at one of the locations mentioned, or you can mail your phone free of charge by downloading and printing a prepaid label from Web site www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com. Your generosity is very much appreciated by our servicemen and women overseas.
Listen carefully and you may hear our Founding Fathers screaming, “I told you so!” George Washington refused his presidential salary even though Mount Vernon had been nearly ruined during the Revolutionary War. Holding public office was to be an honor in itself. Benjamin Franklin warned the public that high salaries for government officials would attract scoundrels and discourage people of virtue. Protections once provided in the Constitution were destroyed with the passage of the 17th Amendment. Anthony Wiener’s $1 million retirement salary and his determination to keep his job despite his unethical behaviors are proof of the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.
The founders intended legislators to return home and live with the consequences of the laws they created. Never were these offices intended to be fulltime, permanent positions of employment, which provided generous health care and retirement plans. To protect the citizens from public office holders becoming permanent, the founders provided automatic term limits. Originally, the state legislators selected their U.S. senators who were expected to veto any legislation created by the House of Representatives, which threatened the rights of their state. Because of the 17th Amendment, the states no longer have veto power to exercise against the Congress when federal statues are in violation of states rights
and/or damage the sovereignty of each state. Today, senators are influenced by the same pressures during elections that members of the House experience. These pressures encourage senators to place political party and personal gain before the welfare of their state. Today, the Barnie Franks, Wieners and Tim Geithners are protected through special interest monies, gerrymandering of electoral districts and cronyism. We the people are surrendering more of our freedoms each year to the control of power-hungry incompetents.

You’d be hard-pressed to keep up
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - If you were to look up the word driven in the dictionary, one of the pictures you would find would be 15-year-old Gretchen Granzin of Shell Lake. She’s not driven because of parents who are always on her case to be better and do bigger and to do more, she’s just one of those people who are created to be in the fast lane of life while she’s absorbing everything around her with a welcoming attitude. Granzin has two older brothers and two older sisters who are equally optimistic and enthusiastic. Her parents own the Wild Wood Farm on Sand Road, and home-schooled all their children until they reached high school age and then gave them a choice to stay home for another four years or head off to Shell Lake High. All four of her elder siblings decided to go public with their education but not Granzin. She’s a 15-year-old that relishes her home-school curriculum and she finds it gives her the freedom and flexibility that she loves. “I know my required school assignments for the day, and sometimes I do some school work and then ride my horse for a few hours and then go back and tackle the work. Sometimes I wait a few days to do the work, but it always gets done.” This attitude from anyone else would probably send warning signals to the parents, but Granzin ’s word is good, and she finishes everything she’s required to do not only on time, but gives it her absolute best. Perhaps that’s why when her mom suggested to her when she was 7 years old that she might be interested in joining the 4-H Clover Buds, she loved it. She loved the meetings, the leaders, the projects, the record books, everything. The following year she was old enough to take the next step and join the Cloverleaf Club and now that she has eight years into the program, she’s more enthusiastic than ever. It’s probably why she is serving her second term as 4-H ambassador this year. The main function of being an ambassador is to be in the public representing 4-H in a positive light. She goes ones step further and truly glows when she talks about the program. “I’ve spoken to other clubs on different
subjects and I was chosen to be the emcee for the Cultural Arts Day last year at one of the churches,” she said. “It’s kind of like a practice runthrough for the fair and I got to be the announcer for the event and also hand out the awards at the end. I also wrote a press release for the Register about Gretchen Granzin, 4-H ambassador for the second year, was the event and I not only at the Dairy Breakfast, but also at the car show the folget to do that lowing day, and she’ll be at both summer parades and at the again this fair with her 10 entries. - Photo by Diane Dryden year.” She has other goals, too.

New digital X-ray system at SHS
SPOONER — To further fulfill their mission to provide high-quality health care for its community, Spooner Health System recently installed a new Kalare digital X-ray system from Toshiba Medical Systems Inc. “There are so many benefits to our new digital X-ray system,” said Craig Norheim, director of SHS’s diagnostic imaging department. “Three of the most important benefits to our patients are that this new system offers enhanced image quality, streamlined diagnosis and controlled radiation exposure.” The Kalare’s advanced, all-digital technology provides high-quality X-ray images. This new system also offers fluoroscopic images, which makes it possible to see internal organs in motion. For example, several exposures can be taken in rapid sequence of the esophagus. This allows the radiologist, doctor and speech therapist to actually see the entire swallowing process in video format. Before the installation of the Kalare system, several still images through three or four different sequences were taken in order to capture the full esophagus. It is much easier and more efficient to get the new digital images where they need to go compared to the old X-ray films. The images can be brought up on the computer or put on a CD. Having digital images benefits the patient because it allows for more timely reading by radiologists and physicians, which results in a quicker diagnosis back to the

The Kalare offers pulsed fluoroscopy, which allows the technicians to easily and effectively reduce the radiation to the amount necessary. Patients benefit from less exposure to radiation without compromising the image quality. There are less repeat X-rays needed with the
new digital system which also results in less radiation to the patient. Installing the new X-ray system was the last step in SHS’s diagnostic imaging department becoming all-digital. Norheim states, “We are proud to provide state-of-the-art technology to our patients!” — from SHS
Otterson accepted to EAA Air Academy
OSHKOSH — The Experimental Aircraft Association proudly announces that Isaac Otterson, Shell Lake, has been accepted to attend the EAA Young Eagles Camp 2011 in Oshkosh. Otterson is the son of Bill and Barb Otterson. He will be entering the eighth grade in the fall. The EAA Air Academy offers young people the opportunity to meet and work with aviation professionals, while living and learning the arts, sciences, and lore of aviation in both classroom and workshop settings. Otterson will join other young people, ages 12-13, in this aviation program to be held July 12-16. Participants in the EAA Air Academy come from around the United States and several foreign countries.
Academy activities will include flight experience, workshops and classroom study.

World-class pianist performs, teaches at the Shell Lake Arts Center
SHELL LAKE — American pianist Dr. Roger McVey will join the Shell Lake Arts Center for a very special performance on Sunday, July 10, at 7 p.m. Audience members will enjoy what critics across the world hail as “passionate artistry and electrifying virtuosity.” This performance precedes his week of teaching the piano camp at the Shell Lake Arts Center. A professor of piano, piano pedagogy and music history at UW-River Falls, McVey is active as a performer, clinician, and adjudicator around the globe. He has been a top prizewinner in the International Beethoven Competition, semifinalist in Poland’s International Franz Lizst Competition, and performed in countries such as China, Korea, Spain, Italy, Cyprus and many others. He has recorded two CDs: “American Journeys,” a collection of solo piano works by American composers, and “Sonatas and Images,” a collaborative work with violin virtuoso Giselle Hillyer. “The thing I love most about playing the piano is that I get to experience these great musical works, written by geniuses who, in many cases, lived hundreds of years ago, and then bring them to life for other people,” states McVey. “It has always amazed me, how we musicians can play a piece by someone like Beethoven, and it’s like a direct link to this incredible composer who lived in a completely different time and country. If Beethoven traveled through time to speak to us, we probably wouldn’t get much out of it. But through his music, we can feel what he felt and experience what he sought to express in sound. It’s incredible, really…this
living connection that is formed between composers of the past and an audience of the present, made possible by the performing musician. I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of that process.” What can audiencegoers expect on the Sunday concert?

Trucker shortage looms
by Shamane Mills Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Retirements and strict industry rules have resulted in fewer truck drivers in Wisconsin and across the nation. Transportation analysts predict a normal economic recovery for trucking, but say it will still be a challenge finding drivers. Since the recession, high unemployment in other industries has boosted the number of potential truck drivers. But strict rules on how long truckers can drive, drug testing, and tough alcohol penalties have shrunk that pool. Jerry Klabacka, president of Diesel Truck Driving Training School in Sun Prairie, says necessary safety rules have greatly changed the industry over the last 40 years. "The trucker romantic image became really predominant," recalls Klabacka. "There were trucker songs. We had the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Convoy." There was a whole series romanticizing the trucker in the 70's. It was unregulated and freedom of the road. " Klabacka says his school has to turn away nearly half the applicants because they simply don't qualify under commercial driving requirements that have tightened over the years. Still, classes get filled. Kathleen Bean, a recruiter for Sabertooth Commercial Driver Training Institute in Waupaca, says there's a security with positions that isn't realized in other industries. "We can't outsource truck driving," says Bean.

Annoying
As I thought about how to approach this topic, I hesitated because I didn’t want to come across as just another wife bashing her husband. At a garage sale I found the book, “101 Things Husbands Do to Annoy Their Wives,” writSuzanne ten by Ray Comfort and published by Johnson Bridge-Logos Publishers. The book is adopted from the book “One Million and One Things Husbands do to Annoy Their Wives.” My husband pointed out Comfort dedicated the book to his wonderful wife, Sue, who helped him write the book in 10 minutes. No. 13 in Comfort’s book about annoying things is, “He puts food in the microwave and doesn’t cover it.” The explanation given is, “The failure to cover food in a microwave is actually a

A woman may find the same joy by gazing at her flower garden every day. He daily opens the dish cupboard en route to the glasses, simply to gaze at the plates.” At the end of his book, Comfort gives 10 final tips on how to keep a wife happy. No. 7 is “Don’t clean dirty things in clean clothes.” Comfort also stated that a powerful thing to remember is, “God made man from dirt. For the woman he used prime rib.”
Tribute to the Big Bands concert
For 41 years, Dominic Spera has been a teacher at the Shell Lake Arts Center. He played his trumpet for the last time at the concert, Wednesday, June 29, as he is retiring. He received two standing ovations, one after his solo and the other when he said goodbye to his students and to the Shell Lake community. The 79-year-old Wisconsin native started playing the trumpet as a youth because his family could not afford the $1,000 braces, but could afford the $75 trumpet that would help push back his buck teeth. — Photo by Larry Samson

World class white-tailed deer display coming to the Washburn County Fair
DILWORTH, Minn. –The awardwinning and ever-popular Wild Whitetails exhibit is coming to the Washburn County Fair in Spooner July 28-31. The exhibit, which has been called the “greatest whitetailed deer display in North America,” is sure to astonish all who see it. Wild Whitetails owner Dan Cole has put together one of the most unique collections of white-tailed deer ever assembled for public display. The exhibit features over 20 wild antlered deer mounts of unique antler configurations. People can spend a lifetime outdoors and never see these types of antlers. Cole said, “These deer are unbelievable. We wanted to give the viewer more than they expected. We have consistently proven that we have accomplished that.” Cole said he didn’t focus on the largest bucks in the world, although the average score of the deer on display is an astounding 238 inches, rather he focused on the unique aspects of different antler configurations. “The white-tailed deer is a very unique animal in that no two sets of antlers are exactly alike, kind of like that snowflake theory. What we have done is take that uniqueness to an extreme level. We will show you what unique and different look like when they are combined with huge!” For example, one buck, called the Iowa Phantom, was never seen by man. However, he did leave
behind four sets of his shed antlers proving his existence. His antlers that are on display have six drop tines and score over 280 inches. These are the type of deer that legends are made of.

Butterfly Corner by Mary Ellen Ryall
June 29 – Brooklyn Derrickson and her young friend, Isabelle Miller, visited Happy Tonics Visitors Center in Minong. The girls were eating Superman icecream cones and their tongues were blue. Brooklyn stated that two monarch caterpillars she is raising had turned into chrysalises. It was only last week that she brought the butterfly tree house to the visitors center with the caterpillars and milkweed. The butterfly tree house is now resting on a table at home until the monarch butterflies are born and then released in approximately two to three weeks. June 30 – Jan Binger of Milwaukee bought milkweed seed from Happy Tonics online eBay store. She says, “I spotted my first monarch egg on June 2. I have released 13 monarch butterflies so far this month that I raised from eggs.” Technology has reinvented how business is done these days. Over the last few years business transactions over the Internet have grown far beyond Main Street brick-and-mortar sales. Added to the personal computer, now we are doing business outside the traditional office using mobile applications through iPhone. The office of today can literally be anywhere with Wi-Fi access, laptops and an iPhone. July 1 – Happy Tonics welcomes Sue Menzel, alternative energy volunteer. She is volunteering at the visitors center in Minong on Friday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. throughout the summer. Come in
and learn from her. July 2 – Linda Schmit is volunteering at the visitors center in Minong on Saturdays throughout the summer except July 16. This is the LCO Honor the Earth Powwow weekend. Happy Tonics will be among the LCO Green Team’s display. A few people have called to express their interest in an herb class and Schmit is now starting up a beginning herb class. Please call Minong at 715-466-5349 if interested in Minong classes. Other news: Julie Simpson is home in Shell Lake for the summer from college. She mows the path in the Monarch Butterfly Habitat weekly and keeps the path clear for walkers. She is doing a great job, too. Jim VanMoorleham worked on the pergola for three hours this week. The roof beam staining is nearly complete. Diane Dryden did a great job getting the rest of the pergola stained and the wild grapevines attached to the pergola. In time they will grow up and over the pergola. Amanda Kostner brought in a rain barrel she had made for Happy Tonics. If interested, we have a few of Kostner’s business cards at the visitors center in Shell Lake. The name of her company is The Green Frog Company. July 4 – National Butterfly Count. Volunteer staff and guests counted butterflies at the north Monarch Butterfly Habitat in Shell Lake from 10–11 a.m. The Native Remnant Tallgrass Prairie is two blocks north of downtown Shell Lake on the lakeside.

let me come over for the pectin, and she told me they are trying to clean out their store and it will be closed. Bill recently had three-way bypass. Nancy says she’s retired and wants to do more things and not be tied down with the store. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Bill and Nancy, and we wish you get-well thoughts. Talking with Joan Petz we find her honey, Darrell, is now home after spending a number of months at the VA hospital in the Twin Cities. Joan says Darrell is eating very well and feeling so much better. Such good news, Joan and Darrell. Tuesday, Penny Ladd, Rylee and Reyana came to help make strawberry jam. We had a great time. That’s the end of strawberry jam making for this year. Penny is now done with driver’s ed until August. Now she gets a chance to have some fun instead of working all the time. She has a big garden so that will keep her busy. I hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July and you kept your eyes on your little ones if around water. It just takes a few seconds out of sight and they’re into the water. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

It was hot and humid heading into the Fourth of July weekend, brat and hot dog weather. There was lots of traffic, folks heading for a cooler spot by the lake, I guess. Summer wildflowers are blooming, including hawkweeds and daisies. We left a patch in my yard when mowing because there were lots of butterflies — a monarch, lots of swallowtails, black admirals and sulfurs that were feasting on them. Tuesday, Mavis Schlapper, Bev Helmer, Elfreda West, Gloria Frey and I went to Shell Lake to help Dort Lombard celebrate her 85th and Mavis’ 82nd birthdays hosted by Dort’s daughters, Linda from Superior, Sue from Menomonie and Doreen visiting from Alaska. It was held in the activity room at Lakeland Manor with other residents attending. Cake and ice cream was enjoyed. Mark and Deb West have a lot of company. Daughters Sarah and husband Ryan Schmidt from Columbus, Ohio, Gina and Shawn Notormann and son Levi from Minneapolis, Minn., and her brothers, Dave and wife Lynn from North Carolina and Mike Anarea from Texas, along with four other couples, friends, are joining them for camping, fishing and four-wheeling. I visited with Bob Single in Rice Lake on Thursday. His wife, Janet, is back in the hospital as she is experiencing problems with her new hip replacement. He reported she will be having surgery again to band a bone that has fractured.
Keep her in your prayers. Janet Zimmerman visited her aunt, Margaret Gunderson, at Our House in Rice Lake for her 90th birthday one day last week. Margaret is Janet’s mom’s sister. Greg and Sue Krantz expected daughter Ericka and her son, Chane, from Texas on Friday. Dean Schlapper arrived on Thursday from Austin, Texas, visited until Tuesday with his mother, Mavis. His daughter, Aimee, also came for the weekend. Jolene Loew and Elaine Ryan coffeed with me on Monday and Janet Zimmerman had coffee with me on Tuesday morning. Grandson Brian Marschall and girlfriend Jade LaFave visited and had supper with me on Tuesday night. So nice of the kids. Happy birthday to Mary Krugar, Sharon Wendt, Marlee Hopke and Mark Kruegar, July 7; Jackson Sando and Jodi Stellrecht, July 8; Ted Zimmerman and Randy Myers, July 9; Carol Kubista, July 10; Keith Halverson, July 11; Willie Lombard and Joanne Irvine, July 12; Pat Sweet, Tim Ullom, Brent Pederson, Kenny Conners and Helen Fletcher, July 13.

by Pete Hubin, Spooner The fair is getting near! When I was a young Shell Lake 4-H boy, in the 1950s, those words made me feel ill. I managed to do a good job of putting off getting my projects ready for the big deadline. I always managed to get my woodworking done, field crops prepared, insect collection completed and many others over several years ending with the 1955 fair. Once we got things settled, and the animals were all properly housed, it was fun to see a lot of other kids, equally stressed to finish projects. By far my biggest challenge was selecting calves, yearlings and a cow or two from my small herd and my dad’s herd. We raised Jerseys and in order to train these animals to lead, you needed to start in March. This rarely happened, so once again my brothers and I were late getting animals trained to lead. We always made it, but we could have been better. We also raised sheep so it meant selecting the best wether and ewe, getting them blocked and trying to tame them down some. All of this did require large amounts of time. As we got near the dreaded start of the fair, we had to wash, curry, polish horns and hooves and braid tails. Also some of them had to be clipped. In those days, we made our halters and lead ropes. My mom and dad were the leaders of our club, The Double B 4-H Club. Dad had been an agriculture teacher and judged at fairs earlier and he was a big help to all of us in our club showing animals at our fair. The fair housed the cattle in a Tshaped wooden barn not far from the current beef and dairy building. Our show ring was eight or 10 steel posts driven in a circular pattern with a small rope going from post to post. No security for a runaway animal, but it worked. Sheep were kept in a wooden building south of the cattle barn. It seems like I slept by the cattle every night. There was not much time to kick back as judging took place early on. Probably the most important event for me was the showmanship contest. It was divided into junior and senior divisions. There were some good showmen at our fair. Dad was a good coach and I worked hard to follow his directions. Finally, my last year I won a first blue ribbon over Lee Swan and Howard Furchtenicht. Lee
and Howard also won blue ribbons, but I was in front of both. The Washburn County Fair has many more project choices now than I had. Most 4-H kids then were farm kids and our choice of projects reflected that. There was plenty of excitement at the fair. There was also disappointment. All in all, it was a wonderful experience even if it was somewhat stressful. Later in the fall we had to complete our record books for each project. This had to be done by Achievement Night. This also could raise my anxiety level. In the 1950s, music was very important. Harriet Swan was an enthusiastic leader at Leisure Lake Youth Camp and we had several sing-alongs at the Spooner High School during the winter. We were each given the “Wisconsin 4-H Song Book,” which contained many wonderful songs. Harriet also organized a boys quartet and I was in it, and along with Alvin Olson, Dick Swan and Lee Swan; we made up the Four Heights. We sang everywhere, including the state fair and state 4-H leaders meeting in Madison. Later, Harriet added four girls, Betty Furchtenicht, JoAnne Brown, Marlys Nyberg and Karen Swan. Now we were an octet. We also sang during the state 4-H week at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Lee and I were selected to sing in the State chorus and Betty and Karen were selected to play in the state band. We closed our final evening concert with “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” performed together by the two groups. It was quite a stirring performance. A project that I really enjoyed was tractor maintenance. Don Furchtenicht taught this and we met at the Experiment Farm as it was called then. Believe it or not, we got a small tractor in the main room. We examined all the systems, changed all fluids, and checked adjustments of clutch, brakes and steering. There were about 15 of us and it lasted about six Saturday mornings. We had a workbook and this class was an allaround very good project. When I was a sophomore, Mary Dougherty and I were selected outstanding girl and boy for that year. I met many very nice people in my 4-H years. 4-H was then, as it is now, a wonderful family activity. The county agents in my 4-H time were Bill Dougherty and Bill Lindenberger. Signe Sorlie was the home agent. Janet McNabb was an every-present figure at the fair and leader of the Excella Club.

Heart Lake by Helen Pederson
Hot, hot, hot on Friday, July 1, so we needed to stay inside with air conditioning on. I hope all of you had a good Fourth of July. Our days are getting shorter. Congratulations to grandparents Joni and Mark Parker on the birth of a baby girl to Sarah and Eddie Ballew at Wichita, Kan., Wednesday, June 29. She weighed in at 5 pounds 10 ounces and she was named Audrey Mae. Congratulations also to Jim and Ruth Swan in Cumberland as great-grandparents. Thursday, the Glenview van took a few tenants to Tracks in Spooner for lunch. Joining us were Peggy Miller and Diane Stene. They both live just past Tracks. After our lunch, our driver, Dan Diekman, took us a little down the road to a llama farm owned by Brian and Pat Cook and sons Garret and Gunner. They
had llamas of all sizes, ages and colors. We saw a baby born just the night before. We learned a lot about them. They show them at shows around the Midwest, and will have some at our county fair. We took a drive back to Shell Lake on Knapp Road. It was a very interesting trip. Thursday afternoon the Rev. Carol Ann McArdell and Joni Parker from Salem came to Glenview and had communion for all who wished it. Talking to son Tim Pederson in Amherst, he spent the week in Green Bay for a conference, coming back Thursday afternoon. We welcome new tenants here at Glenview, Allen and Edna Johnson. Like weeds, rumors grow without cultivation and soon take over if they are not eradicated.
Hi again! Hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July. Our deadline this week was on Friday, so I don’t have any of the news on the celebrations yet, but it’s a pretty good bet that there were a lot of family get-togethers and cookouts, and that the fireworks and activities in the park were great. It’s so nice, isn’t it, how small towns such as Cumberland and Shell Lake can come up with such beautiful fireworks and so many things to do and see on the holidays. The members of Cumberland Senior Center hosted a strawberry festival on Thursday. For a very small price each guest could enjoy a barbecue sandwich with chips, pickles, a drink and, for dessert, either strawberry shortcake or a strawberry sundae. And I have to add that the service was every bit as good as the food. The ladies working in the kitchen and delivering food were very busy, but they all had smiles for the guests. It was a very nice way to spend some time eating good food and visiting with friends and neighbors. Some Cumberland ECU residents were among the many guests. They were Lois, Marie, Marian P., Joyce, Shirley, Darlene and Ken. Of course, Ken’s wife, Ida, also joined them for dinner. Harold Lindemann was acting as cashier at the senior citizen center, and I had a chance to visit with him for a while. I asked him if there had been anything going on with the Ice Age Trail, and he told me that they were able to work on four miles of it this year. He also said that there were some reserves working with them and that he was very impressed with how hard they worked. They were working during the cold, rainy part of June, over by Birchwood, and Harold said that it took him about five days to get warmed up again. If you haven’t hiked any part of the Ice Age Trail, I would highly recommend it. Marilynn Shaurette and I have hiked the part
over by Grassy Lake, and it is so beautiful, peaceful and quiet. We heard lots of birds and saw some animals while we were walking, but never ran into a bear — thank goodness. Duane took me to Barronett Bar for supper Tuesday evening. We sat out on the covered deck because the weather was so nice, and we were glad we did because we got to meet some really great people who came out to enjoy the fresh air with us. One couple, Mike and Audrey (Thomas) Hustad, were telling us about moving that old farmhouse from the Ullrich farm to their place across from Pat and Doug Sweet’s farm a few years ago. They said it was quite an undertaking — had to shut down the power in Barronett for a couple of hours, and they had to get permission to haul it across a cornfield because they weren’t able to make the comer into their driveway from the road. Not only that, it was during the time of that big road construction project on Hwy. 63, and they had to wait quite a bit longer than they thought they would to move it. MP (Mary Pat) and Pete took their dog, Goober, to visit with Cumberland ECU residents one day last week. MP said that the residents absolutely fell in love with Goober, and that, if they were bedridden, he would put his front paws up on their bed so that they could pet him. MP, Pete and Goober were all impressed by the beautiful courtyard, and MP said that the only things Goober did not like about the ECU were the electric wheelchairs. Oh, I probably shouldn’t mention this, but MP said that she thinks Stanley might bend the rules just a bit while he’s playing cards. Knowing Stanley, I seriously doubt that — MP is probably just an inferior cardplayer and poor loser. What do you think? I guess that’s about all I have from Barronett this week. Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. See you next time.

A girl had just finished drawing a picture when a drop of ink splashed right in the middle of it. “Dad,” she cried, “it’s ruined.” “No,” he said. “Draw a dog around it.” She did and took it to her teacher. She exclaimed, “That little dog makes a good drawing even better.” A stain appeared in Joseph’s life. His brothers sold him into slavery. But God raised him from the pit to the palace. And he said to them, “God turned into good what you meant for evil.” Has a dark stain come into your life? Don’t give up. Trust God. He’ll turn it into good. Visit us at: www.TheSower.com

Ethan and Donald Berg are all eyes at the Washburn County Historic Museum pie and ice-cream social held Saturday, July 2. With so many choices, Ethan went for the banana cream pie while his older brother opted for the last piece of strawberry pie.
Celebrating the Fourth of July. It is our national birthday, 235 years of independence and freedom, still going strong.
Jeff Parker comes up after being dropped. He and other volunteers spent a part of their day sitting at the dunk tank taking the occasional bath for a good reason - they were raising money for the Independence Day fireworks. The Shell Lake Fire Department is able to put on the fireworks through the donations from the community.
Renae Lloyd, Emily Lloyd and Dakota Robinson, with their advisor Teri Mancl, were at the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce booth promoting the Miss Shell Lake pageant that will be held Labor Day weekend.
