Deputy position approved
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The county’s personnel committee met Monday, Aug. 8, and approved a sheriff’s deputy position for the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department. After being denied at the county board on April 19, law enforcement requested that the personnel committee approve a newly budgeted position for another deputy. It will fill a deputy position that also patrols. The vacancy occurred with the resigning of a deputy two months ago. According to Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden, with adding this position, Washburn County will have 24/7 coverage again. Mike Richter, chief deputy for Washburn County Sheriff’s Department, said, “We are staffed at less than half the state average. We have

This week’s poll question:
Do you agree with the decision to fund the county deputy position? (See story above) 1. Yes, we need to do as much as possible to support the sheriff's recommendation. 2. No, the county board was right in turning it down for budget reasons.

MoTIC project launched
Area tourism promotion about to get much, much bigger
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - Promoting Northwest Wisconsin is being taken to a whole new level. Local businesses and organizations are invited to take a close-up look at the new Mobile Travel Information Center, coming to 25 towns and cities in the area starting Tuesday, Aug. 16. The information center is an opportunity offered by the Northwest Wisconsin Destination Marketing Organization, which got its start in January 2008, when a group of likeminded tourism promoters and small-business owners met at the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad in Spooner. Over the past 3-1/2 years, the group has
been responsible for major marketing campaigns promoting Northwest Wisconsin. From monthly event posters to full-page newspaper advertisements in dozens of newspapers, the NW WI DMO has told the region’s travel story to millions of potential customers. Some area businesses and chambers of commerce use regional sports and travel shows to promote tourism. Greg Vreeland, general manager of the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad says, “These shows during the off-season allow us to have face-to-face contact with tens of thousands of potential customers each winter. They allow us to instantly answer questions and to refine our destination story for each customer. At each show I try to go through all of the booths, which sometimes number over a thousand, to see what types of displays are working, and who from our area is See MoTIC project, page 3

Eight airplanes took part in the Shell Lake Young Eagles Flight on Saturday, Aug. 6. The event was cut short because of the thunderstorm that came in about noon and grounded the planes. They will be flying on Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Cumberland Airport.
It was a happy landing for Jaydon Gotte and Summer Grimm as they look for their mother after landing.

promoting.” By observing potential customer response to the displays of others, he came up with an idea for a massive, joint promotional project. This venture allows local business owners to join together with other local businesses this season to tell residents of the Upper Midwest why they should visit Northwest Wisconsin. This joint venture consists of a full-size semitrailer Mobile Travel Information Center, filled top to bottom with activity panels, displays, visitors guide, attractions map and an online coupon opportunity, all geared to promoting tourism in Northwest Wisconsin. It will travel to regional vacation/sport shows, plus highly attended events throughout the Upper Midwest. The trailer will be at shows in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Fargo, N.D.; and Des Moines,
Iowa. Although the details are still being worked out for a summertime tour, they are planning to attend busy summertime events such as the state fair and Summerfest in Milwaukee, as well as some local festivals. The MoTIC will be making a tour of the area beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 16, to share the opportunity with organizations and small businesses. During the tour, the trailer will be in selected towns and cities for one to two hours with representatives on hand to answer questions regarding this exciting joint marketing project. See schedule below for dates, times and specific locations. Complete information regarding the program is available on the NW WI DMO Web site at www.wisconsin visitor.com/?113610 or by calling or emailing NW WI DMO coordinator, Nancy Herman, at 218-426-0964 or yelriadv@frontiernet.net.

Three survive airborne car crash
On Friday, Aug. 5, at approximately 9:15 a.m., a car burst into flames as it sat in the parking lot of WK Appliance in Spooner. The Spooner Fire Department responded and put out the fire after a first responder tried putting out the flames with a fire extinguisher. The owner of the vehicle requested that the two car seats in the vehicle be saved before they were destroyed. The first responder was able to do that. More information on the accident will be posted on our Web site, www.wcregister.net, when it becomes available from authorities. - Photo by Jessica Beecroft

After hitting a tree and flying through the air, the three passengers of this car, including a 3-year-old, are lucky to be alive. On Tuesday, Aug. 2, the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office responded to an accident where three persons were injured after the car flew through the air. According to accident reports, Jamie R. Sloviak, 34, Cadott, was driving westbound on Veazie Road, one mile west of 10th Street, when he lost control, entered the ditch on the opposite side of the roadway, and hit a tree. The vehicle went airborne and landed on its top. Curwin T. Witner, 34, Springbrook, and Bradley J. Irvine-Dutcher, 3, Trego, were passengers. Witner managed to run to call for help. All three were taken by ambulance for injuries. The accident occurred at 7:18 p.m. - Photo from Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept.
more calls than ever before this year.” “We’re going to pay for it either way,” said Don Quinn, of the personnel committee. “We end up paying for overtime to cover all the calls. So we either pay for a deputy position, or pay for overtime.” The finance committee still has to approve the transferring of funds to cover the position. However, they are hopeful that the position will be fully budgeted after the finance committee reviews and decides on the sheriff’s department budget revisions. The new position approved by the personnel committee does not go before the county board. The committee has the final say unless they request to bring it to the full county board.
Don Quinn motions to approve the new deputy position and there is a long pause before it is seconded by Robert Lester. - Photo by Jessica Beecroft

He’s pulling a fast one
Gov. Scott Walker has pulled another fast one on the people of the state of Wisconsin. This time it involves denying the right to vote to thousands of the state’s citizens. Gov. Walker has signed a bill to require photo identification as a requirement to register to vote. He then authorized the closure of 14 of the state’s motor vehicle offices where the photo IDs could be obtained. These closures were ordered by the governor in predominantly Demo-
cratic areas. This is voter suppression plain and simple. The requirement for photo IDs to vote is a hardship particularly to the elderly, minority residents and for young people who want to vote in the area where they attend college. Women fought a long and hard fight for the right to vote. Minority citizens fought a long and hard fight, some to the death, for the right to vote. Young people fought long and hard, during the Vietnam War era, in a historic push to lower
the voting age to 18 years old during the early 1970s. Many of you remember the cry, “If we’re old enough to fight and die for our country then we should be old enough to vote in our country.” What Walker is doing to our state is wrong on so many levels. The long list of civil and human rights abuses that the governor and the Fitzgerald brothers are ramming through is wrong. This attempt to stack the deck in future elections by disenfranchising Wisconsin’s citizens
cannot be tolerated. Please join me in supporting the recall of Walker this fall. We really do deserve better representation in what once was one of the most forward thinking progressive states in the nation.
We all make numerous decisions every day, and most don’t require a great deal of thought. But the decision to drive — or to allow a friend or loved one to drive — after drinking absolutely requires a great deal of thought. Here are some staggering facts upon which to base that decision: • There were more than 40,000 drunken driving convictions last year in Wisconsin. • If you drive drunk, you are risking public humiliation, huge fines, having to equip every vehicle you own, have regis-
tered in your name, or drive with an ignition interlock device; and possibly jail time. • By far, the most devastating and tragic consequence is causing a crash that kills or seriously injures you, your passengers or some innocent victim. Alcohol-related crashes in Wisconsin last year killed 220 people and seriously injured more than 3,500. As law enforcement officers sworn to protect the public, our ultimate goal is to one day reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin.
That is why your Shell Lake Police Department officers will be out in force from Aug. 19 to Sept. 5, which includes the Labor Day weekend, for the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown on drunken motorists. Instead of risking an arrest and possibly a violent crash, we urge everyone to make the following responsible decisions: • Choose a sober designated driver before you start drinking. • If you’re feeling buzzed, you likely are over the 0.08 limit and should not
drive. Find another way home such as public transportation, a taxicab or ask a sober friend to drive you home. We also urge everyone to report impaired drivers to law enforcement officers by calling 911. During this national crackdown on drunken drivers and throughout the year, we are serious when we say, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
RICE LAKE — Nature’s Edge Therapy Center will be hosting their annual open house Monday, Aug. 15, from 4-6 p.m., at Nature’s Edge Therapy Center.

achieve feelings of accomplishment, and become better team players. If you have volunteered or made any kind of donation to Nature’s Edge within the past year, please be sure to attend and join in recognizing your efforts as well as the efforts of your fellow community members. The general public is also welcome to attend.

SPOONER — The Washburn County Veterans Service Office had a busy weekend, July 28-Aug. 1, due to participation with The Moving Wall and the 100th anniversary of the Washburn County Fair. Both events were a great success. The WCVSO extends gratitude to the individuals who took time to stop by and visit them at the Veterans Service fair booth and those that stopped out to the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery to see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall. Appreciation is extended to those that volunteered their time, gave donations, and assisted in supporting The Moving Wall, which
helped make it a huge success for all in Northern Wisconsin. At the Washburn County Veterans Service booth at the fair, four individuals were the lucky recipients of the drawing of two U.S. flags and two Wisconsin state flags. Donations of the flags were provided by state Assembly Rep. Nick Milroy of the 73rd District, and state Assembly Rep. Roger Rivard of the 75th District. Winning Wisconsin state flags were Sven Undem, Spooner, and Charles Melton, Shell Lake. Receiving a U.S. flag were Donna Ness and Henry Lueck, both of Barronett. — from WCVSO

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – The city’s public works administration committee met Wednesday, Aug. 3, to take action on several issues, including equipment and road repair. Following is an overview of the committee’s actions: Grader repairs Jeff Parker reported the city grader was taken to Nortrax for a repair estimate. The service repair estimate in the amount of $15,045 was reviewed by the public works administration committee. Upon a unanimous vote the motion carried. Parker, public works director, and Brad Pederson, city administrator, were directed to attempt to cover the amount of these repairs over the budgeted amount within the public works budget lines over the balance of the year. Sewer backup damage A claim for sewer backup damage submitted by Larry Alt and Beth Danes was discussed. Pederson noted this has been turned over to Midwest Claim Service. Pederson reported the city can get nofault sewer backup insurance coverage through the League of Wisconsin Municipalities at a premium rate of $1.43/1,000 population. The coverage would be $100,000 per occurrence with $300,000 aggregate. It was decided to postpone
discussion on this matter until the claim(s) is finalized. Getting a seal coating on some city streets Seal coating of the city’s streets was also discussed. Parker, parks and recreation supervisor, estimates the city’s $16,000 seal-coat budget will cover approximately 12,000 square feet. The 2009 PASER Road Rating Report was reviewed. The following proposed streets were identified as candidates for seal coating: • 4th Ave. – Hwy. 63 to First (Lewis) St. . . . . .1,479 sq. ft. • 4th Ave. – First (Lewis) St. to 2nd St. . . . . . . . . . .2,903 sq. ft. • 4th Ave. – 3rd St. to 2nd St. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1,900 sq. ft. • 2nd Ave. – 2nd St. to First (Lewis St.) . . . . . . . .1,550 sq. ft. • Ridgeway Drive . . . . . . .3,872 sq. ft. • First (Lewis) St. – 2nd Ave. to Hwy. 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .259 sq. ft.

It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there when it comes to jobs
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE — Everyone knows the current economy stinks. Just about everyone knows someone who has either lost their job or who is working reduced hours or have lost their house due to foreclosure. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that jobs, any jobs, are at a premium. Now try getting a job if you have a disability, or you’ve lost your vehicle due to nonpayment of child support or a past of alcohol or drug addiction. Most people might think the situation is hopeless, but Rebecca Shane, rehabilitation counselor, comes to the rescue sporting an almost 70-percent job placement for her efforts. She works in several counties for the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, and when she’s in Shell Lake she usually has a full schedule. “Each time I start with someone new, I work at getting a realistic idea of what the client can do and go from there. A job placement may require some further education like a GED or a certificate of training, but we can arrange for that, too. We are funded 60 percent by the federal government and 40 percent by the state, so there are doors we can open to help a prospective employee get the training they need. We can also help with telephone headphones, or specialized chairs, or knobs on steering wheels. We’ve poured cement slabs in front of garages and have even supplied garage door openers. Anything we can do to get someone working that needs a job. “One thing that we cannot do is provide transportation if the client lives in the country. If there is city transportation like a bus or a taxi, that’s different, but
getting someone to a job who lives out of town is tough.” Jobs range from temporary positions, half-and-half job training, helping develop small businesses and counseling before a client goes before a bank with their marketing plans. “We do background checks on everyone and we follow up on all the placements. We even help disabled high school students find a summer job and there is a service just like ours in every county in Wisconsin. In fact, every state in the union has some form of vocational rehabilitation service. “ Clients are often referred by the VA, lawyers, doctors or pastors; the health and human services department, Northern Bridges, the aging and disability center or high school guidance counselors.” It’s easy to see why Shane is good at her job; she is bouncy, with curly red hair and an infectious laugh, and is fiercely dedicated to her job and her clients. “There’s a reason why this department has such great success, we really care about placing people who want to work.” When you delve into her past it’s easy to see where this spirit of “can do” comes from. Raised on the farm, not only did her brother have a farm accident, but also her father died while she was in high school, propelling her into a life of caring early on. Originally schooled as a special ed teacher, she went more fully into counseling and then picked the exact profession for her experience and approach to life. She’s comfortable with just about anyone and overlooks disabilities or a lack of education in her mission to help launch a new taxpayer. She sees

Wausau Homes celebrates grand opening with open house
HAYWARD/TREGO — The hammering has stopped and the dust has settled. It’s time for the Wausau Home builder of Northwest Wisconsin to celebrate their grand opening with an open house on Saturday, Aug. 13, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. to offer a look at the future of home building. Visitors can tour the new, state-of-the-art design center that showcases everything from cabinets and countertops to siding and shingles while providing the latest technology to help home buyers plan and customize their new homes. Among the highlights is an amazing 3-D viewer that allows home buyers to see their home plans take shape before their eyes so they will know exactly what their new home will look like before it’s ever built. “We’re prepared for the improving economy,” says Jeff Burch. “By partnering with Wausau Homes and opening our new design center, we’re able to give customers a stress-free building experience different than anything out there today.” The new building experience includes a firm price up front and a firm move-in date, removing the angst from what can be the two most stressful aspects of building a home. “We’ve redefined the building experience and we’re inviting everyone to come in and take a look, whether they are thinking of building a home this fall or planning for the future,” says Burch. Visitors to the grand opening open house will enjoy
refreshments and can enter a drawing for prizes. At the same time, they will be able to see and touch a wide variety of sample products available to customize a new home. They can also learn about the stress-free homebuilding experience that begins with choosing from more than 150 home designs, then customizing their choice using the latest 3-D design software, which lets them walk through every room.

on women’s “wings.” I couldn’t resist telling the 20something-year-old to just wait, she would eventually know what we were talking about. I remember my mom commenting about how as a child she liked to watch her aunt, Ethel, and her grandmother, Martha, make bread and roll out pie dough. She thought it was interesting to watch the skin under their arms jiggle. It is no laughing matter now though. My question is, do children look at a person whose skin is loose, not only under the arm, but perhaps under the chin as well, and think, “Wow, their skin is too big for their body!”

He’s adorable, but he’s working
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE — OK, even if you don’t love them, you have to admit there is nothing cuter than a 7-weekold golden retriever. They’re covered in an abundance of off-white fuzzy fur and they are all love, from their little wet nose to their four clumsy feet. It’s almost impossible to not reach down to the puppy that’s now climbing to get into your arms and pick him up, or at least pet the little sweetheart. But if it’s a golden named Axel, his owners, or should I say trainers, Mike and Tracy Zechmeister, Shell Lake, would appreciate it if you respected the fact that this adorable little creature will someday be owned by a visually impaired person and is being trained for the task ahead, so they request that you not pet him or get him excited. “We’ll have Axel for the 12 to 15 months and this is a very important time for a dog,” says Tracy. “He needs to know that he has much to learn in order to become a guide dog and we need to learn the same thing,” adds Mike. “There’s no wrestling, no tug-of-war and no letting him sit on the furniture. He has to know that he will be a servant dog and not just a household pet.” Axel is just one in a long line of dogs, mainly shepherds, goldens, Labs and Lab/golden crosses, that have been bred for training since 1939 for the organization begun by three Lions members in the Detroit area and named Leader Dogs for the Blind. Their goal is still to provide dogs to aid the blind and visually impaired and to enhance the owner’s mobility, independence and quality of life. Currently there are 400 puppies being raised and trained in 22 states and Canada. Part of Axel’s training will include visits to banks, libraries, drugstores and the post office. He’ll also visit ball games and parks, grocery stores, shopping malls and will even take rides on buses and elevators. And these experiences have to be good ones. According to Tracy, “If a puppy between 5 and 6 months of age has a bad experience, he’ll never get over it.” He’ll also need to meet men with beards, people in hats and people in uniforms. In other words, Axel has to become an all-around experienced dog. The Zechmeisters will also be introducing him to big city streets with lots of traffic and noise and sirens as well as local stores and shops in Shell Lake

Mike and Tracy Zechmeister picked up their 6week-old golden retriever puppy, Axel, on July 16 in Rochester Hills, Mich.
and Spooner, including nursing homes. All of this training is so Axel learns not to be distracted by anything or any smell or another animal or noise. Axel’s already been to church, and like some others, slept soundly through the service. He also goes to work with Mike and sleeps under his desk. He has a strict eating schedule, which does not include people food, and he’s also being housebroken and doing a pretty good job of it. The house cat does her part of his training by teasing him until he barks at her. “This is another thing he needs to learn, no barking.” Mike, a DNR Northern Region wildlife biologist working in Spooner, and in his second year as a local resident, found out about the program through some casual conversation at the office. He learned about Karen Voss, a fellow DNR employee in the Watershed Management program out of Eau Claire who has trained over 20 dogs. After getting in touch with her, he and Tracy decided to go for it and apply. They attend her classes every month to see how well their dog is doing and to share with the other dog trainers. The book they received with Axel lets them know what their puppy should be doing in various stages of his first year while he prepares for his “graduate studies,” when he is returned to the Leader Dogs for the Blind’s home office in Rochester Hills, Mich. If he passes all his tests, which include medical soundness and personality traits, then he’ll have four months of advanced training and the prospective owner will have a 26-day training program after being placed with a dog. A caring attitude has never been foreign in the Zechmeister household because they had three of their own kids and they’ve been foster parents for many years, for children ranging from newborns to an 18-year-old woman who moved in with her two children. But none of their children were trained with a clicker like the puppy is. “Each time he responds to a command like sit, down or walk loosely on a leach, he gets a click and

a treat. The treat reinforces the click part and eventually the click will be the reward.” This is a completely volunteer position and the Zechmeisters pay for Axel’s vet bills and food and anything else he needs. Since 1939, 14,000 dogs have been trained for clients from 39 countries and the dogs are provided completely free to qualified individuals, including their travel and their month of room and board at the Leader Dog facility. Leader Dogs for the Blind is funded by donations from Lions and Lioness Club members, individuals, foundations and corporations dedicated to community service. The most common question asked of the Zechmeisters is, “Won’t it be hard to give the puppy up?” And they always answer, “Yes, but it is much harder for a blind person to navigate this world without a properly trained leader dog. It’s all about perspective.” For more information about the program, you can visit leaderdog.org or call the Zechmeisters for more information about Axel or to arrange for them to visit your club or organization. They can be reached at 715468-7795.

SARONA — On Saturday, Aug. 13, Whitetail Ridge Campground/RV Park and Backwoods Saloon, on Shallow Lake Road in Sarona, will host an event from 1-4 p.m., to benefit the Gilbert Brown Foundation. The main event will be Gilbert’s Games, which invites people to participate in the Gilbert Brown Foundation’s fun versions of popular TV game shows. Players scheduled to attend this event are former Packer nose tackle Gilbert Brown and former Packer defensive tackle Santana Dotson. “The way these guys interact with each other is just amazing! Once they get onstage in front of all those fans, they turn on this charisma that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen! They always are a huge hit with our campers. I love the fact that these guys never forget exactly what they’re here for. They are raising money for some truly amazing kids who need our help. They put them first, all while having fun with their fans!” says

A special boat, known as a harvester, removes plants that are in the top six feet of water. This temporarily allows for trouble-free boating and swimming. Harvesting is done primarily in swimming areas, boat launches and in shallow areas where dense growth occurs. These control programs can be extremely expensive to maintain.

Two alpacas die, one horse sickened by mosquito-borne illness
MADISON – Two alpacas have died in Dunn County and a horse has been sickened by Eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE, a mosquito-borne illness caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. Although humans may also contract EEE, no human cases have appeared in Wisconsin. “Horse owners who have not already had their animals vaccinated this year for EEE and other mosquitoborne diseases should take this as a warning, and those who have vaccinated should check with their veterinarians to see whether a booster is indicated,” said state veterinarian Dr. Robert Ehlenfeldt. There is no approved vaccine for alpacas. Alpaca owners should consult their veterinarians about preventive measures, he said. Blood samples were sent to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory July 9. Initial positive results there were confirmed by the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System, which reported final positive results. EEE may be transmitted by mosquito bite to horses, birds and humans. It is unusual, but not unheard of, for alpacas and other mammals to be infected. The virus is not transmitted between animals or between animals and humans. Symptoms in horses include depression, loss of appetite, drooping eyelids and lower lip, aimless wandering and circling, blindness and sometimes paralysis. There is no cure; the disease must run its course and has a mortality rate of 90 percent or higher. Wisconsin experienced a major outbreak of EEE in 2001, with 69 confirmed or presumptive positive cases,
mostly in northwestern Wisconsin. Since then, sporadic cases have occurred. Because EEE follows mosquito populations, it normally occurs beginning in mid- to late summer and remains a threat until the first killing frost. Horses that have never been vaccinated will need two doses two to four weeks apart, and the vaccine will take at least two weeks to build up enough antibodies to protect them. A booster would normally be only one dose and would take about four days to be effective. Vaccines will not protect horses that have already been infected when they receive the injections. Vaccines are available that protect against other strains of equine encephalitis along with EEE, and a separate West Nile virus vaccine is also available. “Northern Wisconsin has good mosquito habitat, and that has been where we’ve seen most cases of EEE over the years,” Ehlenfeldt said. “It’s been a wet summer up north, and mosquito populations are really high. If we get a good long fall, we could see a lot more cases.” In addition to vaccination, owners can take steps to reduce their animals exposure to mosquitoes. They should eliminate standing water by removing objects like old tires, or even the folds in tarps where water collects, and frequently changing water in water troughs, birdbaths and similar containers. Owners should also keep their animals inside barns if possible from dusk through dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. - from Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
Wisconsin Lions assist tornado victims
MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA — Wisconsin Lions once again answered the call to assist people in need. This time it was victims of the tornados and floods that ravaged the country in May and June. It began when Shell Lake Lion Bill Taubman was watching the news in May and learned of the terrible storms in Alabama and Mississippi. His first thought was, “We Wisconsin Lions can do something about that.” A call that night to Lion leaders in Alabama and Mississippi told him of the great need and what the things were that they needed most. The list was long but he learned that top priority should be given to paper towels, toilet paper, diapers, personal hygiene products, furniture and cleaning supplies of all kinds. The final and perhaps biggest need was for money. Armed with that information, Taubman got the approval of the Wisconsin Lions leadership to move forward with a statewide effort and within hours the campaign began. Letters went out to the 10 district governors in Wisconsin telling of the project and asking for their support and help. An ad was placed in the Shell Lake and Spooner papers asking for donations of good furniture and people responded generously with both furniture and money. The Shell Lake Lions very generously offered $2,500 and the Lions Northwest Wisconsin District gave another $3,000. Donations poured in from clubs and districts all over the state until almost $19,000 had been collected. Confident that adequate money would be collected, Taubman turned immediately to other Lions in Shell Lake and throughout the state to help find some of the other items needed. The universities at Madison and La Crosse offered 160 mattresses, 40 chairs and 17 sofas that they were removing from dorms. Shell Lake Lions traveled the county picking up furniture donated by individuals. When contacted by Lion Taubman, the Cascade Co. in Eau Claire donated three pallets of toilet tissue and many cases of paper towels. The Premium Water Co. at Chippewa Falls donated three pallets of bottled water. The Presto Co. of Eau Claire gave a quantity of kitchen appliances. The Altec manufacturing company in Duluth, Minn., managed by Taubman’s son Troy, asked if they could help and took up a collection of furniture and money from employees and the company itself donated $500. Since cleaning supplies were a high priority, an Internet search was made for a manufacturer of cleaning equipment in hopes of finding one between Shell Lake and Alabama. The Luco Mop Co. was found in St. Louis and they have a plant in Mattoon, Ill., right on the route to Mississippi. They offered to sell mops, brooms, gloves, etc., at well below wholesale costs and to deliver everything to the Mattoon plant to be picked up by the Wisconsin Lions. Over $6,000 worth of supplies was purchased. On Memorial Day, Shell Lake Lion Rudy Kessler and his wife, Sharon, along with Taubman, left for the South, each pulling a Lions 34-foot enclosed trailer full of donations. They were met in Tupelo, Miss., by Lions from that state and directed to Nettleton, Miss., where some items were off-loaded at a distribution center there. The
Two storm victims in Moultin, Ala., were very happy to be given new appliances donated by Presto.
Even the Lions Center in Tuscaloosa, Ala., was a total loss.
nearby town of Smithville had been almost totally destroyed in the storms. The next stop was Tuscaloosa, Ala., where more was unloaded at a church that was working cooperatively with the Lions to furnish 25 government homes that were available. The final stop of the trip was Moulton, Ala., in the northern part of the state, where the balance was left. About 10 days after returning to Wisconsin, Taubman and Shell Lake resident Dirk Benzer headed back down there with a third load, this time mostly mattresses, sofas and chairs. These items were left in Mississippi, where at least some of them were used to help victims of the Mississippi River flooding. Hearing of the need for personal hygiene products Taubman and Benzer, accompanied by Mississippi Lions, went to a discount store and bought carts full of shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, etc. Forty $50 cash cards were purchased for the Lions there to distribute to persons in need. — from Shell Lake Lions Club
After the storm the 150-foot water tower in Smithville, Miss., had a large dent near the top. The dent had red paint in it and in the woods east of town a red car was found. It is believed the paint came from that car. — Photos submitted

Pat a farmer on the back as he has earned it. My little Rory is so funny! Yes, Friday evening I was taking off the ends of beans to can and he right away jumped on me and wanted a bean. So I gave it to him and he ate it. Let’s see, I think he ate about 15 beans before he was satisfied. The next morning I had to cut the beans and he really ate them. Then I had cukes and of course he had to get some of those, so I think he had all the veggies he could eat for a week. Table talk: What does the word life mean to you? Jim Toll tells us he had 2-1/2 inches of rain this last week. He also tells us Tammy Moe is putting up pickles. Dave was up for the weekend putting in new fences. Saturday evening, Jim, Tammy, Turner, and Dave went to the Lions fish fry and enjoyed it. Diane Hulleman picked up Nancy Murray and her grandson, Jameson, and also Ginny Schnell, meeting Colleen Jensen and Izzy and the ladies did some garage shopping. Later they enjoyed lunch before going home. Don Denotter and his wife, Melba, were in church Sunday celebrating their 50th anniversary. They had cake and coffee after the service provided by the ladies of the church. News from the Fjelstad Palace finds Marv Knoop visited Monday. Tuesday the Fjelstads had a whirlwind go through their property taking down three popple trees and sending their grill across the deck, along with their flowers. Polk-Burnett came out and fixed the lines as the lines were smoking. Mark and Bryan Knoop came down and cleared everything from the trees to whatever and cut up the wood. Wednesday the Clam River Tuesday Club met at Patty Haglin’s. While Kris was gone, Bryan Knoop and Bob worked on their whirlwind mess. The Greg Dorweiler family visited Kris on Wednesday.

ited Bob and Kris and later the Fjelstads took in the craft show in Spooner. Saturday Bob and Kris visited Jim and Trish Patten and also their son, Joe, wife Taylor and their daughter, Emma. Happy birthday to you, Emma Patten, as your birthday was also Saturday. Many more. The ladies of the Lakeview Methodist Church have gotten together and will have their fall festival with lots of food, apple bobbing, truckloads of squash and horse and carriage rides. Our Dewey country weatherman, Marv Knoop, tells us we’ve had five inches of rain already. And that’s just for August. Talking with Betty Meister she tells us her sister, Joanne Schade, from the Twin Cities, was up to visit her and her mom, Catherine Schumaker. Betty tells us she is busy canning beans. It’s that time of year. Jerry and Gretchen Best picked up Gretchen’s mom, Lillian Strege, and the three of them went to Madison for Gretchen’s cousin, Amy Strege and Antonio Friantio’s wedding. They came home on Sunday. A couple of weeks ago the Bests had a cousin and her hubby and daughter and grandson, Ben and Gail Kobernick, Lillian Strege, Mitch and Chris Strege and Nancy Bradwell at their home for the day. Gretch says it was a great visit. Sept. 10, Kristen Williams and Scott Carls will be married at the Lake Park Alliance Church in Shell Lake.

Later the pastor of the church was in a play and they went to Voyager Village to watch him perform and said he did a very good job. Scatter sunshine. Have a great week!
Time sure flies. Have we had enough rain and storms? On Saturday morning it wasn’t raining here but on my way to Superior it rained all afternoon. Anyway, it isn’t snowing. On Sunday noon Peder Pederson was guest of honor at a birthday dinner at Steve and Cheri Minot’s. Happy birthday, Peder. He spent the afternoon shopping in Rice Lake. Wendell Lee Turpin, who has been staying here with Peder for a week or so, left for home. He is planning to build a house off of Hwy. 63 before winter comes. On Saturday evening, Lillian Ullom and Frank Mortenson visited Florence Carlson in Spooner. Roger and Mavis Flach had a special visit on Sunday morning. Florence Carlson and Lillian Ullom stopped in with some goodies and a visit. I’m sure that was good medicine for Roger.

Games were played, prizes given, Greta’s mother-in-law-to-be, Sue Zinsli, who spent the weekend with Sue, also attended. It rained all day and there was road construction most of the way. Greta’s fiancé, Logan, along with his dad, Scott, and the groomsmen spent the weekend at the Dells for a bachelor party. Judy and Myron Bolterman just returned home from a week’s stay in Colorado. Their son, Michael, who works in Fort Collins, Colo., was out riding his bicycle, hit gravel on the side of the road and fell 16 feet into a ravine. Luckily, he wore a helmet and had his cell phone and enough consciousness to call 911 to get help real soon. He suffered cracked ribs, three on one side and one on the other, and a ruptured spleen, which was removed. He is undergoing therapy, unable to work until September so he is coming to his parents home to recuperate. Lots of prayers have been offered for Mike and his family and will continue. Remember him in your prayers. His sister, Amy, came from Minot, N.D.,
to visit him. You are so lucky to survive this accident, Mike. This last Thursday noon Glenview took a few people out to Peggy’s in downtown Shell Lake for lunch. It’s a chance to get out and also meet some of your friends. Two weeks ago we were treated to Swedish pancakes and sausages. Karen Ek used her mom’s recipe, and her helpers were Nan Rounce and Shirley Gallop along with Sue Weathers and her girls. Thank you and come again. Alvin and Judy Olsen of Ocala, Fla., and his wife’s mother, Georgina Bruce, left for home after visiting relatives and friends and staying with his sister, Avis Paulsen, who had heart surgery, and also with sister Arlys.

Barronett by Judy Pieper
Do you realize that it’s almost time for the Rutabaga Fest in Cumberland again? Time flies when you’re having fun. I certainly hope that the weather is nicer then than it has been the past few weekends. When we went to the Barron County Fair it was raining. We didn’t get up to the Washburn County Fair because it was raining. It seems like it has rained every weekend that there has been a smalltown festival lately. Hopefully we’ll have nice weather between the 24th and the 28th of this month. Even if it’s raining I have to go and have some of the great food that local church and civic groups make. I’ll have to call the friendly neighborhood moocher and buy him a piece of pie at the Cumberland Hospital and ECU Volunteer Partners booth after the parade on Sunday. Seems that the pies have been coming in pretty slowly and he is getting a little gaunt. He said that he was very grateful to Mae and Janet Broome for the wonderful blueberry pie that they gave him a week ago. And Marcie Knowlton made him zucchini bread that he was supposed to get after I talked to him. He also said that some people from the Twin Cities came to visit and were shocked and awed that he had modern conveniences like electricity up here. They left him a pizza because he looked like he was wasting away to nothing. Man, what a con artist! How does he talk people into giving him free
food? Our blueberry bushes have really produced this year. I think it’s been three years since we planted them, and they are growing like mad. I pick just about a gallon of berries every three or four days. They are just about done now, but I have enough blueberries in the freezer to make a couple of pies a month until the fresh ones come in next year. Lynn Thon and a couple of her friends were visiting at our house on Sunday and the young lady with her wanted to learn to make pies. Well, we had just picked blueberries, so that’s what we did. I told her the recipe and she measured everything out and mixed it together. All I did was roll out the crusts. She did a great job; it was delicious. The fresh blueberries are so much better than the canned pie filling from the store. There is still time to donate a few items to send to our soldiers in the Middle East. I think Shirley is going to send everything out in two weeks. I stopped by Jim and Diane Loomis’ home one day last week to pick up the Louis L’Amour books that they were donating and had a nice chat with them. We, the congregation of Barronett Lutheran, certainly appreciate their very generous donation. We have been getting quite a few items now, and are hoping to have a nice big box of stuff to send by the end of this month. Sharai Hefty celebrated a birthday on

Sunday. Actually, she did most of the celebrating on Saturday. There was a party for her at the Rahn home with friends to help her celebrate. Gary cooked on the grill, and everyone had a great time eating and visiting. Gary and Sharai stopped by our place on Sunday to have us taste test a dessert and a main dish that she is planning to enter in the cooking contest at the Rutabaga Fest. The dessert was great can’t imagine anyone coming up with anything more delicious. I didn’t try the main dish, but Lynn and Duane did, and they said that it was very good. What’s the matter with people? When there is a perfectly good dessert to eat, why would anyone waste space in their stomach for anything else? Ruth Grover will be celebrating her birthday on Saturday. If you see her, be sure to wish her a happy birthday. Our family has had a pretty nervewracking week. We found out early in the week that our precious new grandson, Wrigley Marsh, was having trouble — a lot of trouble — keeping his food down. He wasn’t gaining weight the way he should have been and the doctors were running tests on him. On Friday they found that the muscle that lets the food go from his stomach into his intestine was not working properly and he would have to have surgery. OK, I know that this is very routine to doctors, but when it was my 3-week-old little boy, it
didn’t feel all that routine. Then, of course, when he got to the hospital for the surgery his electrolytes were low and they had to do whatever it is they do to get him up to par so that it would be safe to do surgery on him. They finally did the surgery on Sunday morning, and Jim called me at about 7:45 a.m. to let me know it went exactly as it should have. What a perfect way to start a Sunday. I have a confession to make to everyone who has been sending me e-mails. I have a different computer, it didn’t remember my password, and neither did I. It’s been about two months now, and I finally had Alyse Lehmann reset it for me so that I could get my mail. There was information about events at the library in Cumberland that have already occurred, a bunch of funny things, and a recipe for which I had been anxiously waiting. Anyway, I’m very sorry that I didn’t get back to any of you, but I will in the future. I wrote the password down now so that I won’t forget it. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Mary Jo Riebe, who passed away this past weekend. Visitation for Mary Jo will be on Wednesday from 4-7 p.m., and the funeral will be at St. Paul’s Lutheran on Thursday, Aug. 11, at 11 a.m. Please keep the family in your prayers in this time of sorrow. That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you have a wonderful (sunny) week. See you next time.

Locks of Love
Gerry Chartraw, of Gerry’s Fifth Ave. Salon in Shell Lake, prepares to cut 14 inches of hair that Oscar Toler, Spooner, is donating to Locks of Love.
Oscar Toler is shown with Gerry Chartraw after having 14 inches of hair cut. Toler had been growing his hair for the past 1-1/2 years in order to donate to the Locks of Love. He commented that he was very touched after watching a TV show about Locks of Love when at the end of the program a little boy came on with a wig made from donated hair. Toler has since donated his hair twice. — Photos by Suzanne Johnson
August 1 – Last week I sent an e-mail to Nancy Christal, DNR in Spooner, to report observations on the state-owned land where Happy Tonics has a Wild Butterfly Habitat, south side of Shell Lake. Volunteers saw 6-foot-high thistles starting to grow in the habitat and were unsure if the plants were invasive or native species. Thistles can be one or the other. I also let the DNR know that buckthorn was now growing in the woods along the trail. Nancy wrote: “Don’t know about the thistle, I haven’t been working too much with that species yet ... but intend on it. I will look when I get chance. We will start controlling the buckthorn. We’ve been controlling that at other properties for years and now that I know it is here, we will do it. We controlled the purple loosestrife last week.” Many people do not realize that terrestrial invasive plants are just as problematic as aquatic invasive species. Once they take hold on land, invasive plants can replace native habitat and may displace plant and animal communities. August 5 – Jim VanMoorleham finished staining the pergola at the native wildflower and butterfly garden. What a great job! Now the structure will be

able to withstand inclement weather conditions. The pergola looks refreshing with a natural gray weathered patina and wild grapevines growing up the structure. I was delighted to see that Diane Dryden’s first white hydrangea flower is blooming. She planted twigs in the late fall of 2009 as part of a winter garden display. They actually took root and the plants have become part of a year-round container display. Larry Samson stopped by with camera in hand. He took lots of photos of monarch and sulphur butterflies. One mystery butterfly came to enjoy the habitat’s nectar. It may have been in the fritillary family. Larry took a photo of it. After I see the photo I will be able to better identify the flutterby. While Larry was photographing, I was pulling spotted knapweed that is coming into the habitat from city property nearest Hwy. 63 and along the ATV corridor. The invasive plant has up to 60,000 seeds in each flower head and can travel far and wide on tires and shoes. No wonder it is so difficult to eradicate. While pulling knap-

weed, a bicycle rider stopped to chat. He observed that white clover blooms had lots of bees on the plant and said, “These are not my honeybees.” He ought to know; he raises honeybees. It was the first time I realized that honeybees have also found their way into the Monarch Butterfly Habitat. Now I will be able to recognize them. Isn’t pollination a wonder?

It feels good to have it a bit cooler, 67 degrees Monday morning at the time of this writing. It rained lots this week, 4-1/2 inches in my gauge. Tuesday it stormed and the power was out for a couple of hours. Saturday it just downpoured. I backed the car out of the garage to get a free car wash and prayed it didn’t hail. It’s sure a growing year with all the heat and moisture. Field crops look great, especially the corn, full height and now forming big cobs. There’s lots of new growth on the trees. Folks are enjoying fresh sweet corn and other garden veggies. Football practice begins so that means school is coming up fast. The Lombard family had a family reunion all last week at the Dahlstrom cabin on Shell Lake and at Willie and Vicki’s. There were 30-plus kids, greats and grands together of Dort’s. Doreen and Frannie were here from Alaska; Mary and kids, Dillion and Leah from Astoria, Ore., they are here until Thursday; Linda from Superior; Suzie and Ben from Menomonie; and Willie from here and their spouses and families. Dort’s sons, Andy and Tony, from Colorado didn’t make it. Dort was a happy camper when surrounded by her family that could make it. Ericka Hutton, McClaine and Chane left Friday morning for home in Texas after spending a month here at her folks, Greg and Sue Krantz. Mavis Schlapper’s daughter and husband, Anne and Dave Pestorious from Emmons, Minn., visited her on Saturday. They do cabinetry so they did some work for her. Betty Schlapper, Rice Lake, and son David from Puerto Rico visited at Mavis Schlapper’s last Sunday.

Caesar commanded the Roman legions in Gaul, and he was successful. The senate was afraid of his power, and he was ordered to break up his army. But he refused. Instead, he led his troops across the Rubicon River in a surprise attack and seized power. The expression “to cross the Rubicon” has become popular since that day. It means to take a daring step from which there is no return. Our Lord crossed the Rubicon when he went to Calvary to die for our sins. Dare you cross your Rubicon and turn from your sins to the Savior to live all out for him? Visit us at: www.TheSower.com

The Naomi Fogelberg file
Full name, age: Naomi Fogelberg, just turned 40. Family: Sarah and Elizabeth (daughters). Occupation: Realtor for Northwest Land and Recreation. Washburn County resident since: Moved here in 1991. Hobbies/interests: Real estate, church events, some sports, whatever my girls happen to be doing. Claim to fame: Many years ago I worked at Chieftain Rice Co. and I once sold really overpriced white rice to Mexican restaurants in bulk ... that was pretty cool :) My favorite sport to play: Elizabeth and I play the Wii a lot. Favorite sport to watch: Shell Lake football of course :) Place I would most like to visit: Jerusalem. Dinner companion, dead or alive: Eleanor Roosevelt. The person I most admire: My grandma who went to heaven last winter. She was wise beyond her years, funny, interesting, stubborn and extremely loving and caring of her family. Best movie I ever saw: “The Outsiders” Favorite movie line: Nobody puts "Baby" in a corner, “Dirty Dancing” Favorite TV show: “Criminal Minds” Music I listen to: Christian, all varieties Favorite dish: Enchiladas Last book I read: I recently reread the “The Screwtape Letters,” by C.S. Lewis, which is probably my favorite novel. I get something new out of it every time I read it. My friends would describe me as: Crabby, LOL, but sincere, loyal, fun, a little outspoken My first job was: Ha ha! My first job was at Godfather’s Pizza near the Northtown Mall. I’d like to be remebered for: I hope I'm remembered for being the life of the party, yet honest, sincere and loyal.
Naomi Fogelberg was born and raised in Mankato, Minn., and as a young teenager moved to Blaine, Minn., where she participated in Junior Achievement, basketball, track and weight lifting and in 1989 graduated from Blaine Senior High. She moved to Santa Clara, Calif., and eventually moved to Shell Lake to be closer to her grandparents. One of her oldest memories of being new to a small town was how friendly people were. “I'd drive down a street and people waved at me. It took a while, but eventually it stopped freaking me out and I started enjoying it and waving back. I still found it amazing that people know who ‘the new person’ was so quickly,” she said. Fogelberg went to WITC in those early days and ended up working at Chieftain Rice Company for several years before pursuing a career in real estate. She said, “I absolutely love being a Realtor. I love helping people and getting to know them. People here are so nice and fun to work with and I have developed many friendships with the awesome people I've worked with.” Most people in the area know her as the aggressive Realtor who not only gets properties sold, but she also works hard with homeowners to be able to avoid foreclosures. Fogelberg works with the banks and tries to sell properties before the bank takes the property in foreclosure. “My favorite job, of course is being Sarah and Elizabeth's mom. They are so fun, energetic and motivated. I chose to stay in this wonderful small town to raise my family (which has changed venues a couple of times) and am very happy with the roots we have planted and the relationships we've established here.” “All in all, I'm now a small-town Realtor at heart. If you would've told me at 18 that I'd be living in Shell Lake, Wisconsin, raising my girls and liking it, I'd probably never have believed you.” Know of a candidate for People you should know?

Teen airlifted following crash
TOWN OF EVERGREEN - Jacob D. Gilberg, 16, Spooner, didn’t know his birthday would end with a crash on Monday, Aug. 1, at 11:43 p.m. Gilberg was a passenger in the vehicle of Eli G. Baumgart, 16, Springbrook, who was driving his white truck westbound on CTH A, one-tenth mile west of Tower Hill Road, when he went off the roadway. Baumgart traveled on the shoulder of the road for approximately 242 feet, when he overcorrected across the blacktop and lost control of the vehicle on the south shoulder of CTH A. The vehicle spun sideways and overturned twice, causing Gilberg to be ejected from the vehicle. The vehicle landed on top of Baumgart as he was partially ejected from the driver’s side door. The Washburn County Sheriff’s Department, Spooner Fire Department, North Memorial Ambulance and other EMT staff came to assist in the accident. Gilberg was hospitalized at a local hospital for injuries. Baumgart was airlifted to North Memorial. An investigation for the presence of alcohol is pending According to the accident report, it appears that inattentive driving is the main contributing factor in the cause of the crash. - Jessica Beecroft.
RIGHT: Two 16-year-olds were hospitalized following a one-vehicle accident Monday evening, Aug. 1, near Spooner. One was airlifted to North Memorial Hospital in the Twin Cities with serious injuries. - Photo from Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept.
