Facing fire, Jeri Bitney walked right through it Relay for Life honorary chair is no stranger to battling cancer

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — This year’s honorary chair for the Washburn County Relay For Life may remind people of the ambiguous character that country singer Rodney Atkins sings about in the chorus of his song “If you’re going through hell.”

Jeri Bitney’s resolve to never show fear in the face of danger embodies Atkin’s lyrics. Her story is a source of inspiration for all on how never to let anything get the best of you, even cancer.

Each year, more than 4 million people in over 20 countries raise funds and awareness to save lives from cancer through the Relay For Life movement.

During a relay event, participants and survivors celebrate what they’ve overcome, remember the people they have lost and honor the people who have fought or are fighting cancer. “Just being with people that are going through the same thing, knowing you can be there with each other and not having to say anything, it’s nice,” Bitney said, reflecting on

This year’s Washburn County Relay For Life chair is Jeri Bitney.

— File photo her experiences.

Retinoblastoma is the specific cancer that took Bitney’s eye in 1955 when she was only 2, reappearing late in her life for three of her four daughters.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that usually develops in early childhood, typically before the age of 5. This form of cancer develops in the retina, which is the specialized lightsensitive tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and color.

“Our first daughter was di-

agnosed at age 6 months,” stated Bitney. The cancer disappeared after Nicole underwent radiation therapy and had her left eye removed.

Then, in 1984, the cancer reappeared in Nicole’s lymph nodes and in May of 1985, at only 5, she passed away. “I did what I had to do and never stopped to think about it because, if I had, I think it would have been overwhelming,” stated Bitney.

While Nicole was battling the reappearance of her cancer, Bitney’s daughter Anne was born, in December of 1985 and was diagnosed with the same cancer in March. “I just did it, you do what you need to do.”

The enormity of juggling the grief of losing Nicole with radiation appointments for Anne and caring for her second oldest daughter, Kate, seems unimaginable. “I just did it,” she stated plainly, “I just thought of it as tasks.”

Her resilience to not let the disease take over her family’s life through all the battles conveys a deep inner strength that she has a hard time acknowledging. “People kept telling me, ‘oh you’re so strong,’ and I never thought of myself that way, I just did what I needed to do.”

Bitney’s daughter Kate was also diagnosed with the same

2013 SHS graduation: “Small melodies to magnificent composition” “Our lives are before us.

The past is behind us. But our memories are forever with us,” - Class motto

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER — Spirits were high for the graduating seniors, their families, friends, teachers and school administrators during commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2013 at Spooner on Friday, May 24.

All looked forward into the students’ bright new futures, while taking pause and reflecting on the fun memories and lessons learned in their time together.

Jennifer Peterson, high school principal, spoke about her memories of the class and how she hoped that each student would take a pleasant memory of their time at Spooner High School with them on their journey. Peterson also commented that the Class of 2013 is the first class to complete four consecutive years in the new building.

The high school concert band, directed

by Mark Aderman, played two songs during the ceremony along with the

school’s concert choir, directed by Destiny Schultz.

Co-salutatorian Abby Rankila gave a heartfelt speech titled “A Note to Follow.” Rankila directed her class to understand their lives are yet a “beautiful song” but with patience, learning and time, their now small melodies will become a magnificent composition. Rankila’s co-salutatorian, Gina Graham, asked her class to remember all the good times they have had together in her speech titled “Pause.”

The entire assembly got involved clapping in tune to the beat of the select choir seniors musical selection, “Home.” Accompanied by Tamara Smith on the piano, Ethan Gormong played the conga drum, Tayler Livingston played the guitar, and they both sang with Emma Schara, Lexi Collins and Hannah Stellrecht.

Class valedictorian Victoria Boss addressed the class in her speech, “Who Do You Want To Be?” Boss acknowledged that even though they may not become the ballerinas or superheroes like they first wanted, they would each become an important part of the world and their communities.

Everyone got a laugh during the senior slide show depicting each senior as they are today and how they started out 18 years ago.

County places moratorium on enforcement of “nuisance property” cleanup; says no to money for Minong Library Approves up to $758,000 expenditure for county highway equipment

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - The room in the Elliot Building was packed for the Washburn County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday night, May 21.

Discussion about the county’s Chapter 30 code proved to be difficult and problematic, with no practical solution adopted.

The board approved the resolution for funds to be applied to the highway department’s fund balance, for up to $758,845, and approved the memorandum for the county to participate in the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship grant program.

The board rejected a resolution for the reaffirmation on the commitment of funds to the Spooner Public Library, to be used toward the Minong Community Library, in the amount of $18,000.

Moratorium in place Concern that towns and villages would be responsible for cleanup of nuisance properties within their boundaries fueled the appearance of two town chairpersons.

Gary Johnson, from the Town of Beaver Brook, and Melvin “Bill” LaPorte, from the Town of Birchwood, each spoke concerning the agenda item labeled “Environmental statements,” concerning the county’s Chapter 30 code.

Chapter 30 of the health and sanitation code is intended to protect the public’s health, safety and general welfare, while protecting the environment for the people and communities in the county. The code defines what a public nuisance is and what the penalty is for person(s) who maintain those nuisances.

Chapter 30 does not apply to county forestland or state fish and wildlife land and the code will not prohibit or penalize commonly accepted farming practices.

However, the code does apply to land zoned agricultural or used as agricultural, and other lands.

A letter sent out by Jeffery Kohler, Washburn County Corporation Counsel, may have sparked concern among the town and village boards. “I think it got out of context some,” said LaPorte. “We (Town of Evergreen) didn’t receive a letter from corporate counsel and it’s irrelevant.”

Board member and Town of Birchwood Chairperson Romaine Quinn observed, “What’s going to happen is stuff like this isn’t going to get done because we (the town) don’t have anybody to do it.”

Besides the lack of people power, towns feel strapped financially, it was noted.

“We don’t have extra money,” stated LaPorte. “Town funding is limited and what is received, most must be spent down in order to get any again … we don’t have $20,000 just laying around.”

Board member Nell Lee suggested that once a property is deemed a negligent

The Minong Community Library was created in 2009 by community members. – Special photo nuisance, they be required to put up a fence.

“Should we be doing it at all?” asked Andy Eiche, board member and First Ward alderperson from the city of Shell Lake. “Would we pull money out of our own pocket and take care of a problem that we know in two years could be the exact same problem again, but now we are just deeper in the hole?”

The circular discussion seemed to reflect the problem itself, and no solution seemed sufficient or cost effective.

“We will do a moratorium on enforcing it, we’ll keep looking at it, but right now you don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to,” stated board Chair Steve Sather. His comment concluded the discussion on the topic.

Highway equipment purchases Some eyebrows raised at the projected cost of Resolution 14C on the agenda submitted by the county’s finance committee, requiring a fiscal impact of up to $758,845.

But the resolution for funds for the purchase of new reclaimer and paver machines for the county highway department passed on a unanimous vote from all board members.

Washburn County Highway Commissioner Jon Johnson supplied the board with a cost assessment of the proposed acquisition. Johnson based his cost analysis by assessing three different avenues the county could use for equipment, and the cost of each at the end of 15 years.

According to Johnson, the estimated cost to the county to contract the machines for 15 years is $720,000. If the county chose to rent machines for 15 years Johnson’s estimate is $734,880.

Johnson reported that by state standards, the life cycle of a machine is 10 years, but “it would be run until it couldn’t go anymore.”

The highway department reported that

$200,000 would be applied to the fund balance through the selling of current highway equipment and the money currently in the highway department’s fund balance could also be allocated toward the equipment purchase.

Additionally, Johnson reported that the state hires the county highway department to do some roadwork already and they have already contracted with Birchwood for roadway improvements pending the funding approval for the equipment.

Money for Minong library shot down The resolution seeking the board’s approval for the reaffirmation on the commitment of funds to the Spooner Public Library to be used toward a new public library in the village of Minong, in the amount of $18,000, generated passionate discussion.

Clay Halverson, board member and chair of the county finance committee, commented that the library would prove to be an ongoing expense. The future impact of the proposed library is currently unknown, and according to Halverson, would be determined according to state guidelines and formulas after the creation of the facility. James Dohm, Second Ward alderperson for the city of Spooner, and county board member, stated, “I think it’s a burden, but it’s a well-spent burden.”

When the original resolution was approved in November 2012, the towns of Minong and Frog Creek and the village of Minong stated they would allocate funds to the new library for three years.

The board then observed that the village of Minong had rescinded their offer in support of the library during the meeting on Monday, May 20. The village meeting minutes stated that if the county board approved the resolution, any additional expenses would be allocated to the village of Minong in a levy to Minong taxpayers, which the village of Minong did

not support.

Board member Dave Wilson pointed out that in addition to the village of Minong rescinding their support of the library, the Town of Frog Creek had also recanted their financial commitment.

Spooner Library director Jane Francowitz explained the current situation in Minong. “Right now there is a library in Minong. It’s not an official library but we were trying to help them out,” she said.

“The application of the Minong Library to become a branch of the Spooner Library was a, “the chicken and the egg situation,” said Francowitz, pointing out that perhaps the communities were not ready for the library, but asked if the money could be deferred.

Many board members commented that they wanted a comprehensive allocation of funds by the county, any town or village that would put money in toward the library, and any other additional funds.

Linda Hablecheck and Minong community members started the library in 2009. County board member James Pearson offered a space for the library in his building at a lower cost than other renters. Pearson recused himself from both the discussion and vote on the issue citing conflict of interest.

Francowitz estimated that the county gives $40,000 a year to the Shell Lake Public Library. In 2013, the Spooner Public Library received $98,000 and Northern Waters, the consortium the libraries are a part of, received $22,000.

“If this is voted down, can this ever be brought back up?” asked one of the student board members. Francowitz responded, “Absolutely, and it will.”

Just five county board members voted in favor of the resolution to approve the allocation of $18,000: Elizabeth Esser, Tim Brabec, David Haessig, James Dohm and Larry Ford.

Knowles-Nelson Stewardship grant According to the DNR, the Wisconsin Legislature created the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program in 1989 to preserve valuable natural areas and wildlife habitat, protect water quality and fisheries, and expand opportunities for outdoor recreation. The conservation and recreation goals of the Stewardship Program are achieved through the acquisition of land and easements, development of recreational facilities and restoration of wildlife habitat.

By approving the memorandum of agreement to participate in the KnowlesNelson Stewardship grant program the county is authorizing the participation of the county in the program. Any potential land acquisitions eligible for grant funding will be brought before the board for approval prior to making an application for funding on a project.

Through the grant program the county would be eligible to receive a minimum of 25 percent of funding on qualified stewardship and land acquisition projects as determined through the program.

Two-vehicle accident in Town of Beaver Brook

Reminds of witch-hunts

I think I’ve been watching the TV news too much. According to the talking heads, we have three serious scandals brewing, and I’m having trouble getting fired up about any of them.

The most serious involves the IRS targeting the Tea Party. Everyone dislikes the IRS, so you’d think it would be easy to get upset with them.

It seems the Tea Party groups have been applying to the IRS for a tax exemption. In order to get the exemption, they have to convince the IRS they are social welfare groups, not political organizations. With both Sen. Ron Johnson and Congressman Sean Duffy having been elected under the Tea Party banner, I would have thought the Tea Party groups were political. However, they have been able to convince the IRS they are more concerned with the general social welfare than they are with politics. Who knew?

The second scandal has the press up in arms because the government subpoenaed phone records from the AP trying to find out who leaked details of a CIA operation in Yemen that stopped an airliner bomb plot. The person who leaked the information had taken an oath to keep

things secret.

I’m having trouble figuring out why it was so important for the American people to know about this undercover operation, especially if it could get some of our spies killed. It looks to me like a lot of the press outrage is more about gaining viewers and readers and selling advertising and less about informing the public of something they need to know.

Benghazi is supposed to be the third scandal. Our embassy outpost was overrun by bad guys and four of our diplomats were killed. The Obama administration took three days to get the information correct about what kind of bad guys did the killing. It is curious to me that the congressmen holding the hearings and comparing this so-called scandal to Watergate didn’t seem to have any stomach for holding the Bush administration accountable for taking us to war in Iraq over false pretenses.

A lot of this reminds me of the witchhunts that took place when Bill Clinton was president. I must be getting old.

MADISON — People across Wisconsin are broken hearted over the lives lost and damage caused by the massive tornado in Moore, Okla.

What can you do? ReadyWisconsin, part of the team at Wisconsin Emergency Management, urges everyone to listen, act and live!

“The takeaway from this tragedy is that everyone needs a sense of urgency. When you hear the warnings, take action immediately. It is critical that we’re all ready for severe storms and tornadoes,” says Tod Pritchard, Wisconsin Emergency Management. “You may only have minutes to react and seek shelter. Don’t waste time.”

Listen: When severe weather is possible, thunderstorm or tornado watch issued, select a credible source of information and keep in touch with that source until the danger has past. One of the best tools is a NOAA Weather Radio, also known as an emergency weather radio. Use this time to review your family, school and business emergency plans so everyone knows where to seek shelter.

Act: When you hear a tornado warning, tornado seen by spotters on the ground or detected on radar, seek the best shelter you can find immediately. Don’t waste time checking multiple sources of information. You may have only seconds to find a safe place.

Live: Your chances of survival multiply by listening and acting quickly. Hopefully the storm will pass with no damage, but don’t risk your life on a hope.

Talk to your family about what to do in the event of severe storms and tornadoes. That includes designating a place to take shelter in your home, office and school. Find a spot in your basement where you can take cover under such as a table, workbench or stairs that can protect you from falling debris. You should also cover yourself with blankets or a mattress to protect against falling or flying debris.

If you don’t have a basement, go to an interior room or closet in the house with no windows. Crouch down low and cover your head. If you are caught outside, seek shelter in a sturdy building.

How to help: For those who want to help the Oklahoma tornado victims, please visit the webpages of the American Red Cross or Salvation Army to learn more. Those organizations can then purchase supplies such as food, water and other items to help those in need.

Rep. Smith applauds Wisconsin Walleye Initiative

MADISON — State Rep. Stephen Smith, D-Shell Lake, applauded Gov. Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource’s recent announcement to expand production at state, private, and tribal fish hatcheries, which produce walleye.

“Walleye fishing is a proud tradition in our community, but it’s more than that, it is a critical component of the local economy in northwestern Wisconsin. The state needs to do all it can to promote and protect this great tradition and help our tourism industry,” stated Smith.

This program will include $2 million in funding over the biennium for a competitive grant program for private organizations to expand walleye production and to cover operational costs, $160,000 in one-time funds for the UW-Extension

to continue working with private aquaculture though the end of the 2014 fiscal year, as well as providing $500,000 annually beginning in 2015 to contract with organizations to acquire additional walleye fingerlings.

“The production of more walleye fingerlings for Wisconsin ensures that there will be years of good fishing as well as a plethora of tourism-related activities for years to come in northwestern Wisconsin. I think this walleye initiative is a good start to protecting this sporting heritage and help the tourism industry,” said Smith.

It is estimated that under this walleye initiative, the increase of large walleye fingerlings from 60,000 to 120, 000 to be over 500,000 fingerlings by 2016. - from the office of Rep. Smith

After 27 years, there will be no Community Ag Association Diary Breakfast this Father’s Day weekend. The unseasonably long winter has brought many delays to the local farm community and farmers are working overtime to try to catch up. As of May 12, only 28 percent of the corn crop had been planted and agronomists were predicting a three-week shorter growing

season than normal. With all the issues facing the farmer, the Community Ag Association decided not to trouble area farm families with the added burden of hosting a dairy breakfast this June. For the past several years, the association has also been serving the breakfast at the Burnett County Airport fly-in air show in July.

Members felt it would be appropriate this year to roll both breakfasts into the same event.

Young adults have opportunity to explore national park CABLE — This June and July, young adults ages 12-18 will have two chances to explore a beautiful national park in their own backyard. The Cable Natural History Museum, the National Park Service and the Friends of the St. Croix Headwaters Canoes on Wheels program are offering two overnight canoe trips on the Namekagon River.

Many folks who pass through this area and many who have lived here their entire lives have never realized that they have a national park in their backyard.

The Namekagon River is the major tributary of the St. Croix River and is included in the National Scenic Riverway, a designation, along with National Historic Sites, National Monuments and National Recreation Areas, administered by the National Park Service.

The first trip, Wednesday-Thursday, June 12-13, will travel the section of the Namekagon just below Cable. Exciting but small riffles, shy wildlife and interesting cultural history make this a great section. Students will learn canoe safety and paddling techniques, aquatic plant identification, water quality testing and much more. At a campsite provided by the National Scenic Riverway, a National Park Service ranger will give fishing lessons, and the campers will also learn the best way to set up a tent, build a fire, cook their dinner and leave no trace.

On the second day, students will pack up camp and paddle downriver before being picked up at a landing.

Tuesday-Thursday, July 16-18, the museum and its partners are offering a second, two-night canoe trip. Young adults ages 12-18 can again explore a national park in their own backyard. The goal is to have the trip be self-supported, which means that the group will carry all of their camping gear, food and personal items in the canoes with them. This adds an extra sense of excitement and responsibility.

Wilderness skills will be covered in more depth, and students will have chances to practice leadership, problem solving and decision-making.

Museum naturalist/educator Emily Stone, who has over 10 years of experience leading canoe expeditions, will lead both trips. She has led trips with Outward Bound, the Girl Scouts and the U.S. Forest Service. National Park Rangers and museum volunteers will provide additional instruction and supervision.

A grant from the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway Fund of the St. Croix Valley Foundation will cover most of the cost of food and supplies, so the cost to participants is only $10 each. For more information or to register, call 715-798-3890 or email emily@cablemuseum.org. Registration closes a week before each trip. — from Cable Natural History Museum

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer La VALLE — On a trip sponsored by the Springbrook VFW Post 10568, three female veterans from the north woods area got the chance to participate in the Women Veterans Expo hosted on Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, by the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs at the Douglas Legacy Farm in La Valle.

The Douglas Legacy Farm was donated by Pearl and Doug Douglas into an American Legion trust for veterans and is currently a nonprofit run by veterans. The farm provides a free resource to veterans in Wisconsin communities, and the expo’s purpose is to provide resources, information, fun and camaraderie for women veterans in Wisconsin.

Many booths represented information for women veterans, like the Sauk County Veterans Service Office booth that provided educational and federal benefit information for women veterans. Other booths at the expo with information were VA Women’s Health Programs, Disabled American Veterans and Morning Glory’s Women’s Wellness. Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs claims officer Kim Mattioli provided information about processing-service connected compensation claims. Two colleges were present to help veterans understand how to use their college benefits.

Throughout both days hands-on workshops were conducted inside the farmhouse, and door prizes were given out to all participants. The mobile Vets Center Van was on-site for crisis counseling and the ladies participated in classes on dressing for success, financial coaching, saving

Renee Brown, veteran of the United States Air Force and Sawyer County Veterans assistant veterans service officer; Lisa McNeally, veteran of the United States Army and Washburn County Veterans office assistant; and Alysia Smith veteran of the United States Army, pose by the Douglas Legacy sign. — Photo submitted money, healing warrior hearts, PTSD, history of women in the Army Reserve and they made crafts.

“It was good way to reach out to women veterans, and the camaraderie with the other women veterans was good,” said Alysia Smith.

The highlight of the trip for the women was the chance to participate in the equine horse therapy classes the farm offered. Each of the women had a chance to feed, groom and ride on one of the 32 rescued Morgan horses.

The horses are those rescued by both Douglas Legacy Farm and September Farms, and nourished back to health. Today, more than 30 Veterans Affairs medical centers participate in horse therapy for service members and veterans with challenges ranging from mental and emotional to physical trauma.

“It gives veterans who suffer from PTSD a chance to work with horses, combing and training, to essentially heal themselves,” explained Renee Brown, “and the cool thing is it’s free; veterans get the hands-on experience with horses.” Internationally there are many equine therapy programs that provide additional services for individuals suffering from mental illnesses or emotional trauma.

The farm is also home to the V.E.T.S., a nonprofit program that is allowed to use the property for the benefit of the veterans of Wisconsin. The help of volunteers runs the Douglas Legacy Farm and any level of aid is needed and appreciated. Volunteering through chores that include feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls and riding the horses gives wounded veterans the opportunity to heal while helping horses that are healing, too.

Currently Brown, McNeally and Smith are trying to organize a women’s expo in the area next year and want to start a United Women Veterans chapter to reach out to other women veterans in the area.

If you are interested in learning more about the Douglas Legacy Farm contact Barb Knopf at 608-985-8886 to schedule your visit. The farm also accepts donations of any kind to help offset the cost of caring for the animals and the farm. You can visit the website at veteransequinetrailservices.org. — with information provided by Lisa McNeally

Area writers corner Toys of our childhood

by Mary B. Olsen ow there are a great variety of toys and playthings available for children. Sports equipment and games are surrounding us. There were toys in the old days while I was growing up, but they were in short supply in the homes of the less wealthy, which were the homes of nearly everyone I knew. Toys were not necessary and beyond our means.

We made things. Boys made things out of scraps of wood and cardboard boxes, orange crates, and they scavenged bits of rusted metal and nails and wire from discarded junk piles. They could find treasures they could use to build forts and tree houses in rubbish or behind outbuildings. A boy could find an old tire, climb inside it and hold on, and roll down a hill in it. A boy liked to pull things and put cast-off wheels on boards. He could make a ball out of string covered with machinist’s tape.

He could make his own marbles out of old ball bearings.

He could make a kite out of old newspaper and a tail for it out of string tied with of bits of old cloth.

Girls made things too. We could make dresses for our dolls with a needle and thread and some cloth from mother’s ragbag. Sometimes I would get what I thought was a fantastic gift for Christmas, a new doll, a set of dishes and a paper doll book. The whole thing probably didn’t cost more than $3. I had books, my favorite thing. We would always have jigsaw puzzles, and one would always be laid out on a card table for anyone who wanted to work on it.

I never had a Shirley Temple doll or a Betsy Wetsy doll, but they were available for other girls. We would go

WASHBURN COUNTY FAMILY FESTIVAL

584252 30b, 41r

Northwest Wisconsin Ent Inc.

I do recall that Rick Nelson sang one of his more popular songs, “Garden Party,” during the concert.

A 1972 hit for Nelson, the song tells the story of him being booed off the stage at Madison Square Garden because he was performing his newer, country-tinged music rather than the 1950s-era rock that he was better known for.

The teen idol known as Rick or Ricky Nelson was named Eric Hilliard Nelson by his famous parents, Ozzie and Harriett Nelson. The TV show, “Ozzie and Harriett,” in which the entire Nelson family starred, ran from 1957 to 1966. I only remember seeing the show after it was in syndication.

Two years after attending the concert in Barron, I heard on the TV news that Rick Nelson died in a plane crash on Dec. 31, 1985. His father died in 1975 and his mother’s death came in 1994. Brother David died in 2011.

According to an article in the Barron NewsShield, the Barron Farm ‘n Feather Fest came to an end after being celebrated for 25 years.

he headline, Farm ‘n Feather Fest to feature Rick Nelson, jumped off the page of the June 2, 1983, edition of the Washburn County Register, as I was looking through the book made up of newspapers from that year.

Wow, has it already been 30 years since I attended his concert in Barron? Rick Nelson, actor and singer, would be the star entertainer at what was to be Barron’s fifth-annual Farm ‘n Feather Fest. Rick Nelson, with his backup Stone Canyon Band, along with R. Country Gals, took to the stage at Barron High School for two performances. I attended the earlier performance.

To be honest, I don’t really remember too much about the concert. I guess I can blame it on the fact that I had a 1-1/2-year-old son staying with his grandparents that evening and I was spending an evening surrounded by adults. Those of you that have experienced time away after spending most of your time with a toddler can relate. A part of you is lost as you feel you should be with the child, while the other part of you is looking around and thinking, “This is what being with adults is like.”

strenuous things than pretending they were at school.

We had a library where I could go and take out books and keep them for a week, read them and find more for the next week. We were not allowed to go into the sections reserved for grown-ups. There was a wide selection of books for kids. There were series books. We had “Five Little Peppers” books and “Little Women.” We had a number of Oz books that were spawned from Dorothy’s adventures.

Summer is playtime. It is almost like it was in the old days. In summer, there used to be more time to find a quiet corner to read, maybe lemonade in the shade and maybe just time to dream. There was work to do helping parents, of course, but there was also time in summer for a taste of a life of luxurious pleasure.

TREGO — Looking for a way to explore and enjoy the Namekagon and St. Croix rivers? Join the many visitors who have discovered the joys of bird-watching along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway or try your luck at fishing one of the nation’s most scenic rivers. To get started, stop by the Namekagon River Visitor Center and borrow a birding pack or a fishing kit.

Every birding backpack contains a pair of binoculars, a field guide to help identify birds, a journal, and a bird checklist. Each fishing kit includes a rod/reel combo and a tackle box with an assortment of lures.

Backpacks and kits for both kids and adults are available. They can be borrowed free of charge for up to a week for use on the Namekagon and St. Croix rivers and Riverway trails. Proof of a fishing license is required for those over 16 years of age borrowing the fishing kit.

The Namekagon River Visitor Center is located on Hwy. 63, one mile east of Hwy. 53, in Trego. It is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily through Labor Day. For more information about borrowing this equipment, call 715-635-8346 or email branda_thwaits@nps. gov. — from SCNSRW

GARAGE SALE

to play after school or in summer at the homes of friends and play paper dolls or dress up our dolls and take them for walks in doll buggies.

We played hopscotch on the sidewalk. You draw out the squares with chalk, and then you hopped in each one according to a pattern, and competed with other players. We played jump rope. You could jump by yourself or you could have two players turn the rope and one or more could jump in the middle. There were numerous little rhymes to call out as you jumped. I remember, “salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper” where you jumped ever a bit faster until pepper, when you really speeded up.

We played jacks, too. You had a little bouncing ball and some little metal jacks, which are still made but now are made of plastic and they have two little balls in the kit. I guess plastic is better than metal for them. Actually, we girls would sometimes find ourselves without jacks. They could be lost easily, because they are small.

They are not nice for your father to step on when he is barefoot, so they might have been thrown in the trash.

We might find ourselves without jacks and with the little ball. In that case we could gather enough small stones and use them for replacements. They worked as well, if not better than the metal jacks.

One of the things we did as soon as school was out for the summer was play school. We had our old workbooks and tablets. We had worn-out crayons. We had freedom.

Why play school? We had been confined to school for nine months and we played as if we were in school, with someone being the teacher and the others the students, and we acted like our old papers were our schoolwork.

We could not get the boys to play school, though. They were more interested in getting out and doing more

by Troy Benham Special to the Register SHELL LAKE — Yes, it is time once again to pull out your beach blankets, dust off those lawn chairs and join with family and friends Monday evenings at the lakeside pavilion. With over 10 years of live-performed music and a free movie at dusk, it surely has become a great community family gathering place with the best of what summer has to offer.

Live music this summer includes familiar groups such as performances brought to you by the Shell Lake Arts Center, the area community band, and the Washburn County Historical Society. Also, individual names such as Roger Harrison, Vern Moss, Stormy Monday, Lonesome Dan Kase, Kevin McMullin and others yet to be announced will be performing.

To kick off the music for the 2013 season on Monday, June 3, is Jason Dirkes, Rice Lake. He was raised in nearby Birchwood. Dirkes started playing guitar after building his first from a cornflakes box and things from around the home, and, as he put it, the rest is history. Dirke’s sound is defined by his acoustic sound and original music. He has had many great influences over the years. He also says he owes much gratitude toward many who have helped him along the way, but most of all, the love and support of his mother, Cynthia Dirkes.

Shell Lake’s tradition continues with Music and Movie Mondays starting June 3 at the lakeside pavilion. — Photo by Troy Benham This year’s host is WOJB’s third Saturday afternoon host of the Urban Amish Spice of Life, Troy Benham.

The cost is huge, living with Alzheimer’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s is June 20

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY — Today’s news media puts out a new dire warning almost every day, whether it’s about climate change, world finances or our food supply. Whatever it is, there will be a comprehensive story full of frightening statistics like the ones for Alzheimer’s disease.

Think forward to the year 2025, that’s less than 12 years from now, and calculate the age that you’ll be then.

Now, figure out how much time you’ll be able to take off of work, eventually as unpaid leave, in order to take care of someone in your family that is under the horrible delusions that we call Alzheimer’s disease. Seeing that as of today, one out of every three seniors die with dementia, this pretty well qualifies as one of those frightening statistics because the chance of it not coming to your door is remote.

It’s estimated that there will be, in just a dozen years, 7,500 seniors between the ages of 65 and 74 that will need care due to Alzheimer’s. Go a little farther down the chart for the same year and you will see that there will be 58,000 additional adults, between the ages of 75 and 84, that fall under that category. If you care to look at the end of the table in the same year, 2025, there would be an additional 60,000 folks 85 years and older that will be draining the financial system. Add them all up and it’s a grand total of people suffering from Alzheimer’s to be a total of 125,500, and those are simply estimates based on the continuing growth of this disease.

Staggering as those figures are, it gets worse. Just last year, alone, there were 189,000 U.S. caregivers who gave 215 million hours in unpaid care. If they would have been paid, the total would be an astounding $2,656 million.

So how prepared will people be only a dozen years from now for the onslaught of dementia cases that is guaranteed to destroy our already fragile Medicare program because the cost of their medical care will be approximately $1.2 trillion?

There is an association, Alz.org, which is knocking itself out on two fronts to bring some relief to this chaotic situation. Not only is research key to slow or cure this disease, which now is always fatal, but money is being raised every day to assist the caregiver, whose service is not only unpaid, but the costs they incur come directly out of their own pocket. Start with figuring out the money they lose taking time off from work, time sacrificed from their own family activities, fuel for their car to get to their loved one and the hundreds of dollars spent for security locks on the doors so their loved one doesn’t wander, or the purchasing of new clothes, or cleaning services or food because the other has been destroyed by someone who does not understand the basics of life anymore. And then there is the cost of home and medical supplies.

This could be you now, or this will be you before you’re ready. And how are you going to deal with it?

Where are you going to go for help?

Washburn County is a marvelous place to be if you’re elderly. There is a little bus that will pick you up and take you wherever you need to go. The unit on aging will arrange for a driver to take you to your doctors, no matter

how long they have to wait for you. There are disability specialists available and an elder benefit specialist that is qualified to answer any question you might have about Medicare and Medicaid. Their office is located next to the Washburn County Fairgrounds, south of Spooner on Fairground Road. You can call 715-635-4460 for more information on everything they offer.

On Saturday, Sept. 14, there will be dedicated group of people who are already busy raising money that will meet for the official Walk to End Alzheimer’s event. And now the only thing missing is you. If you’d like to mark your calendar, fill in Thursday, June 20, from 5-7 p.m., at the Oscar Johnson Center on the fairgrounds. This will be an evening for all past teams and walkers to attend and anyone new interested in joining a team or forming their own for the short Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

According to statistics again, you will be involved with Alzheimer’s in your lifetime anyway, so why not start now and help the organization find a cure or even something new to slow the progression of the disease until a cure can be found.

“We are looking for walkers, team captains, caregivers, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference to organize and recruit fundraising teams, garner community support, coordinate logistics, seek refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend a hand to ensure the success of the 2013 event,” said Jene Morey, volunteer committee member and past walk chair.

If you would like to join the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Spooner as a volunteer or team participant, call the Alzheimer’s Association in Spooner at 715-635-6601 or online at alz.org/gwwi.

Weed management pasture walk to be held west of Spooner SPOONER — UW-Extension and the NW Wisconsin Graziers Network will hold a weed management pasture walk at the David and Veronica Fogerty farm on Tuesday, June 11, from 1-3:30 p.m. The farm is located on 2473 Rolling Green Road, about 10 miles west of Spooner. To reach the farm, take Hwy. 70 west about 10 miles west of Spooner, turn right or north on CTH H, then left or west on Rolling Green Road. Watch for the signs. Touring wagons with tractors will be provided to take people around the farm. Beverages will be provided.

Dr. Mark Renz, UW-Extension weed scientist, will discuss spotted knapweed and other pasture and hay field weed problems. Spotted knapweed has been a scourge in pastures in northwest Wisconsin in recent years due to drought and overgrazing. Once in the field, it completely takes over and is extremely difficult to get rid of. The Fogertys raise bison and have established a savannah area in addition to the pastures. Burdock and thistles have been problems there.

The Fogertys are innovators when it comes to pasture management and weed control. They rotationally graze about 60 bison on alfalfa, orchard grass, clover and fescue. Kura clover was established in 2012 and an 8-acre trial field of teff grass was added this spring. Teff is originally from Ethiopia where it is a staple grain crop.

During previous droughts, sorghum-sudan grass was established and green-chopped in the summer as a double crop with winter rye.

For additional information on the pasture walk, contact Otto Wiegand or Kevin Schoessow at UW-Extension at Spooner, 800-528-1914, or 715-635-3506. — from UWExtension

Cooperative presents eight scholarships

Publisher of the Register, Leader and Advertisers presents total of $6,000 to eight area graduates

FREDERIC – For the 14th consecutive year, the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, which produces the Inter-County Leader and Washburn County Register newspapers and the Advertisers, has presented scholarships to graduates at schools in the area.

This year, the cooperative presented $6,000 in scholarships to eight area schools – Frederic, Grantsburg, Siren, Webster, Luck, Shell Lake, St. Croix Falls and Unity.

ICCPA has presented at least one scholarship to area graduates since 1989. In 1998, the cooperative began giving its $300 scholarship to a graduate at each of the seven public schools in Burnett and Polk counties, and the cooperative’s board of directors voted that same year to raise the amount to $750, beginning with the 1999 scholarships.

In 2005 Shell Lake became the eighth area public school to receive the cooperative’s yearly award.

Recipients of the scholarships are chosen based on academic excellence, an interest in journalism or photography and on recommendation by scholarship committees.

Receiving the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association scholarships this year were Mackenzie Erickson, Siren; Danielle Formanek, Webster; Ian Lexen, Frederic; Danielle Kuechle, Shell Lake;

Honorary chair/from page 1 cancer but fought it off, and it never reoccurred.

Fast forward to January of 2012 when Bitney’s grandson Kurk Bryan was born. In April, Kurk was diagnosed with the cancer in both eyes. One out of three children with retinoblastoma develops cancer in both eyes. He went through two treatments of intraocular chemotherapy in his eyes. “It goes directly into the eye from the back,” she explained. Since the treatments, Kurk has had no new tumors since September.

Due to extensive research into the genetics behind cancer, it is currently believed that genetic mutations play a role in all cancers. The gene mutation that is associated with retinoblastoma is known as germinal reti-

noblastoma. Researchers estimate that 40 percent of all retinoblastomas are germinal, and people with germinal retinoblastoma may have a family history of the disease and they are at risk of passing on the mutated gene to the next generation.

The family is currently expecting a baby who was due last week but, when the time comes, they are ready. “A few days of when the baby is born, it will go to have its eyes examined and blood drawn to check the genetics to see if the baby has it (the mutated gene) or not,” she said.

If the baby has the mutated gene, doctors will perform a once-a-month exam until the cancer is found. “If it isn’t, they will be able to quit going,” Bitney said hopefully.

Even if a cancer-predisposing mutation is present in a family, it does not necessarily mean that everyone who inherits the mutation will develop cancer, like Bitney’s daughter Kelsey, who was unaffected by the disease.

“It’s nothing we’ve done,” she pointed out. “It just happens.”

This year’s Relay For Life of Washburn County will take place at the Shell Lake High School athletic field on Friday, May 31. The opening ceremony begins at 6 p.m.

The number of people that were in attendance last year to support the relay gave Bitney pause, “Last year the event held at the school was absolutely amazing.”

Bears, facing a tough spring, become bolder in their foraging habits

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - The Department of Natural Resources is warning people to beware of bears.

The late green-up this spring means hungry bruins are foraging for food in the wrong places.

A bird feeder is like a dinner bell to a bear this spring.

DNR nuisance wildlife specialist Dan Hirchert says an open garbage or a greasy grill are also part of a bear’s smorgasbord. It’s gotten so bad that a donkey and a goat

have been eaten by bears this spring.

“Typically we’ll have a few livestock depredations but likely they were drawn to those animals because of a lack of food. So they were seeking other sources.”

Hirchert says nature played games with all of us, in-

cluding the bears.

“Well, they came out of hibernation a while ago and the greens have not yet emerged. So when they don’t have food sources available to them, they’re certainly hungry after spending a considerable time without eating.”

Living with bears is part of life in the north woods, so locals know better. Bill Brakken runs the Rookery Pub at the Cable Nature Lodge. Three days after he opened his restaurant five years ago, the bears were in his garbage.

So he’s chained it ever since.

“We have a recycling bin right next to the garbage bin that does have a plastic top. We have big bear footprints indented to the top of that thing.”

The advice: Take down the bird feeders for a while, don’t ever feed the bears, and keep meat scraps in the freezer until garbage day.

Forward Service Upward Bound West graduation held

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER — Fourteen senior students in the Forward Service Corporation’s Upward Bound West program celebrated their graduation from high school on Wednesday, May 15. Hosted by the UBW program, and Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation college access advising, the party gave students and parents the opportunity to understand the many steps involving their postsecondary education journey.

The Forward Service Corporation is a nonprofit corporation that works to further self-sufficiency for individuals in underprivileged situations through education, employment and support services that ensure quality engagement and personal choice. “The students we service are from low income and the first generation to go to college, or both, but most are both,” explained Melissa Meyer UBW instructor.

The corporation is funded through several federal and state sources to operate employment, training and related programs like the Upward Bound West program.

Participants in the Upward Bound West program hail from five different area high schools. “We service Shell Lake, Spooner, Siren, Turtle Lake and Unity high schools, and we have a total of 63 students that we meet with every week,” explained Meyer.

Currently, the UBW program is running under a new grant cycle that requires about 95 percent of students in the program must maintain at least a 2.5 gradepoint average.

“It is our hope that as you progress through the next phase of your life, you will continue to seek education, opportunities, understanding, compassion and equality for yourself and those around

The senior celebration consisted of two different presentations about what is necessary to succeed in college and how to understand their award letters.

Ellen Kreger, of Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation’s college access advising, discussed the many decisions that the students will encounter as they transition to college, and while in college.

“We’re gonna talk about what to pack for college, what things do you need, getting your finances in order, food options, classes, as well as finding balance.” Kreger guided the students through the participation-oriented discussion to get them actively thinking about all the decisions they will be facing, and how each decision will reflect on how they can succeed in college.

School menus Breakfast served each day for K-12 students.

Breakfast Monday, June 3: Juice, cereal, toast.

Tuesday, June 4: Fruit, sausage patty, French toast.

Construction starts on bridge

by Rich Kremer Wisconsin Public Radio STILLWATER, Minn. - A St. Croix River bridge project more than 50 years in the making broke ground Tuesday, May 28.

It took more than five decades, two lawsuits, an act of Congress and President Obama’s signature, but construction of the St. Croix River Crossing has officially begun. The new bridge will replace the 80-year-old Stillwater Lift Bridge. It will span the St. Croix River from St. Joseph to near Stillwater, Minn. The major holdup was the St. Croix’s federal protection as a Wild and Scenic River, which meant that the bridge needed a congressional exemption to proceed.

Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., who worked for years pushing for the bridge, says it took a while but the final project has been vetted.

“I think we strike the right balance between the environmental mitigation that needed to occur, the bridge design so it

The Hildegarde (Hess) Schultz Memorial Scholarship was given to Chelsea Melton. Presenting the award were Jennifer Koch, Corynne Philipsek and Boyd Anderson.

Senior students in the program receive guidance through the FAFSA and scholarship application processes. The program also offers assistance for testing fees like the ACT for students. The recruitment process typically begins at the start of the students’ freshmen year, and continues into high school. “The more time we have with them the more beneficial the program is,” explained Kristine Fisher, Upward Bound West program advisor.

Students also participate in career and college searching in addition to taking tours of different college campuses. “We do a lot of sorting out of what the student is looking for, what do they want,” explained Meyer. Some tutoring may take place depending upon the needs of the student, and an online tutoring program provides another way for the students to achieve academic success.

Heather Rajchel received the Roger and Diane Noe UB Scholarship, and Chelsea Melton is the runner-up for the FSC scholarship.

“It sounds like you have a lot to be excited and proud of,” stated Kreger, expressing her delight to the students.

did blend in better with the surrounding area but also meet the increased traffic needs that the region is going to experience during the next 50 years.”

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is taking the lead role in construction of the river crossing. Project manager John Chiglo says it’s full speed ahead from now on.

“People will be seeing visibly more barges on the river, more cranes on the river and they’ll start hearing more activities as we move through June and into July, and starting in July will probably be the real ramp up to the busiest activities in July, August, September, October and November.”

Chiglo urges boaters along the St. Croix River to be mindful of the increased barge traffic during construction. Also he says the DNR and local law enforcement will be enforcing a no-wake zone for worker safety.

Spooner celebrates Memorial Day

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — The Memorial Day ceremony held in Spooner on Monday, May 27, was sponsored by all four local military groups, Spooner Area Honor Guard, Cmdr. Cecil Scribner, American Legion Post 12 Cmdr. Joe Fair, American Vets Post 190 Cmdr. John Leckel and the VFW Post 1028 Cmdr. Tim Kessler, also the day’s program director. Spooner High School band, with Mark Aderman conducting, provided music.

Bob Kinderman, keynote speaker, brought a unique view to the celebration by saying he had not served in the military, but his great-uncle had served in WWI and his uncle and father served during World War II. It was their stories that brought home the wars to Kinderman. His father told about being at Pearl Harbor when it was

attacked and both uncles fought in heated battles and even trench warfare. But what each man said they would remember forever were the heroes. The ones that crawled under gunfire to pull a comrade to safety, the ones who risked their lives for their comrades … these were the real heroes of military action. “All gave some, but some gave all.”

Bill Hoyt placed a wreath on the water next to the Waterfront Park to honor those lost at sea, and John Leckel placed a wreath to remember those who died on land. A 21gun salute was given and taps was played.

Tears filled the eyes of many there.

BOKWA comes to Shell Lake With Your Source For News

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — An international group fitness craze is coming to Shell Lake. Created by international fitness personality Paul Mavi, the group class called Bokwa uses sign language to cue the moves that are made with your feet in the shapes of letters and numbers in pace to music.

“It is a fun new way to stay in shape and to help you improve your fitness level, endurance and burn up calories in an hourlong class twice a week,” explained class instructor Joni Paffel-Christ. Bokwa is designed to allow students in all walks of life and fitness levels to control the impact of their workout. “The moves can easily be adjusted to low, moderate or high im-

pact depending on the student’s desire of workout,” explained Paffel-Christ.

Paffel-Christ’s Bokwa affair started out by taking a Zumba class through Vitality Village; but after the instructor left the area, she was asked if she was interested in starting a Bokwa class. “I feel the importance of an exercise class being offered here in Shell Lake that I said I would do it, and I am glad I did it,” said Paffel-Christ.

Classes will be held at Vitality Village in Shell Lake on Monday and Wednesday, 5-6 p.m. beginning Wednesday, June 5, until June 26. Students can pay per class or purchase a seven-punch card with no expiration date. To sign up for this new group fitness program, call Vitality Village at 715-468-2232, or just come to a class to try Bokwa for yourself.

Dottie Strand

Dottie Strand, 79, Shell Lake, died on Friday, May 24, 2013, at the Benedictine Living Center of Spooner.

Dorothy was born in Shell Lake to parents Fredrick and Grace Schroeder and was raised on the family farm just outside of Shell Lake. As a child, she had two pet lambs that would follow her around everywhere she would go. Her mother was known for running a maternity home on the farm with Dr. Dale Moen in Shell Lake.

On Nov. 22, 1950, she was united in marriage to Edward Strand in Pine City, Minn. After their marriage the couple moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where Ed was stationed as he was serving in the U.S. Air Force. They moved back to Spooner for a short time, and then they moved to San Antonio, Texas, when Ed was transferred.

After Ed was discharged from the Air Force, they moved back to Spooner and purchased and ran the Surplus Outlet Store until selling it and they then purchased the Doll House Bar, in Trego. Dottie then was an independent insurance agent until her retirement in 1990. After the couple’s retirement, they spent several winters in Arizona and Texas by way of their motor home. Dottie was a member of the Bashaw Ladies Coffee Clutch, the Red Hats and the Spooner United Methodist Church. She was an active member of the community, making af-

ghans for the Spooner Fire Department. She enjoyed being around people and loved her family.

Dottie is survived by her children, Janet (Dan) Ullom, Shell Lake, Micheal Strand, Trego, Darlene (Gary) Graham, Trego; grandchildren Jennifer (Raed) Riziq, Judy (Andrew) Johnson, Sarah (Caleb) Melton, Becky (Dan) Burch, Misty Graham, Matthew Graham, and Angela Graham; 14 great-grandchildren; brother William (Francis) Schroeder, Floresville, Texas; sisters Donna (Jim) Marker, Gillette, Wyo., Doris (Larry) Rockel, Pueblo, Colo.; and many nephews and nieces.

Dottie is preceded in death by her husband, Ed; infant daughter Sherry Lee Strand; daughter Ann Marie Melton; parents Fredrick and Grace Schroeder; and brothers Donald and Wayne.

Memorial services were held May 28 at the Spooner United Methodist Church with Pastor Jack Starr officiating. Interment will be held at a later date at the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery with her husband, Ed. To leave online condolences, please visit dahlfh.com.

The Dahl Funeral Home, Spooner, was entrusted with arrangements.

Glenn William Thorpe

Glenn William Thorpe was born March 4, 1923, to Norwegian immigrants, on his family farm in Stone Lake.

He was their last living child. Glenn was the seventh of eight children born to Christian Johann Thorp (Torp) and Olga Annette (Johnson) Thorp. On May 24, he died peacefully at the age of 90, in the home he lovingly built for his wife, Gloria Marie Wood Thorpe, (deceased) and his children, Judith (Thorpe) Fedo and Gordon Luther Thorpe.

Glenn is survived by daughter, Judy (Michael) Fedo and granddaughter, Kimberly Fedo; greatgrandchildren, Cameron and Chelsea Frolik; as well as granddaughter, Kacey (Fedo) Bostrom (Warren) and great-grandchildren, Madeline Zoe, Wyatt and Sofia Bostrom. He is also survived by his son, Gordon (Patricia Kowalski) Thorpe, and grandchildren, Helen Perotti and Kathryn Thorpe.

Following Glenn’s 1979 retirement, after working 38 years with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, he was awarded the Commendation for Meritorious Service by Gov. Thompson. In later years, Glenn was the DNR’s heavy equipment operator, who dredged

bodies of water to improve fishing and boating around the state. Earlier, he was responsible for creating and constructing the large seine nets, which allow the harvesting of fish during the spring spawn. He and others would then plant the spawned egg hatch throughout northern counties in the state, improving the sport for all. A World War II veteran, Glenn was an avid outdoors man, who enjoyed fishing, trapping, and hunting, throughout his life. Though Glenn was a very quiet and private man, he shared his dry sense of humor into the very last days of his living. His family will forever love, admire, and respect this strong and thoughtful man.

The celebration of his life will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church, Spooner, with visitation from 10 until 11 a.m. on Friday, May 31, with funeral services at 11 a.m.

The Dahl Funeral Home, Spooner, was entrusted with arrangements.

Spooner Garden Club plant sale helps fund local garden

WCAHS to collect scrap metal as fundraiser

SPOONER — A broad variety of perennials for sunny and shady spots, some herbs, a special selection of edible flowers and plants, and more will be waiting to grace gardens, homes and businesses during the Spooner Garden Club’s annual spring plant sale on Saturday, June 1.

The hundreds of plants that will be for sale on Saturday are from the garden club members own gardens. The twice-annual sale, one is held the first Saturday in June and one the last Saturday in August, is renowned for having plants that are hardy and thrive in the local area, the club said.

The sale will be held from 9 a.m. until sold out, which is usually quickly, at the Dave’s Hardware Hank parking lot in Spooner. An added feature this year will be a bake sale, with the treats made by gar-

den club members.

Since 1932, the garden club members have enjoyed gardening together, learning from each other’s experiences and other gardeners, and working on civic gardening projects. The club’s usual meeting date is the fourth Thursday of the month at 1 p.m.

The plant sale proceeds help the club fund annual scholarships for Spooner and Shell Lake students and the gardens the club created and maintains at the Northern Wisconsin Memorial Veterans Cemetery and in Spooner’s Centennial Park, Triangle Park, city hall and library.

The club also co-hosts the New Ventures garden seminar on the third Saturday in March at Northwood School. — from SGC

A

tourist noticed a man sitting by the ruins of a home that had been blown away by the winds of a tornado. Puzzled he asked, “Was this your home?”

“Yep,” he said.

“Any of your family blown away with it?” the tourist continued.

“Yep. My wife and kids,” came the reply.

“My goodness, why aren’t you out looking for them?” the stranger wondered.

“Well, the wind is due to change in a moment,” he said, “so I might as well wait right here until it brings them back.”

For some, it is easier to wait than to work. It is more convenient to pause than to pursue. It is easier to ponder than to push.

God will not do for us what we can do for ourselves. He will never give his best if we sit and wait when he has given us skills and talents to use to his glory. We must work as though everything depended on us and pray as though everything depended on him.

It’s been rather chilly this past week. The weather has been so changeable. Let’s hope we don’t have a drought.

Happy birthday to Mabel Washkuhn as she enjoys her special day. Also happy birthday to Austin Stellrecht as he has his special day. Have a great one on May 30.

May 31, happy birthday to Debbie LaVeau and also to Spencer Redding with many more to come.

Happy anniversary to Jeff and Nancy Stellrecht as they enjoy their special day June 1.

Happy anniversary to Clarence and Marie Beecroft as they celebrate 65 years together on June 2. Many more to you.

Happy anniversary to Trent and Stephanie Vanderhoof as they enjoy their special time together with much more.

This makes seven years.

A very happy anniversary to David and Cindy Lawrence in North Carolina as they celebrate 25 years together on June 4.

A very happy birthday to Andrew Lawrence on his special day, June 4, with much more to come.

Yah know a person could just sit down and cry after that terrible F-5 tornado came through Moore, Okla., couldn’t they? Those little kids who died are the worst part as they’re gone. Of course, a number of adults died along with the children. This is the second tornado that came through Moore and the people said, “We will rebuild!”

When we had the tornado in 2001, the day we got together at the Dewey Town Hall, and they were talking about it, I saw an eagle fly over like it was saying, “Amen.”

Son Richy’s turkeys went out this past week. Sheds were cleaned, with new bedding brought in and then the seven-week-old turkeys arrived.

Thinking back to my childhood, I thought how blessed I am to have an automatic washer and dryer. I remember my mom starting the fire in what she called the wash-

Sarona

Engagement

by Pauline Lawrence house, getting it hot. She would then put on a copper boiler, along with a big tub of water. When the water was hot, she would take it by pails and put it in the wringer washing machine and into the tubs for washing. When she had the water in she would take a bottle of bluing, which was to make her white clothes really white. Then she would get the washing machine going and onward to wringing the clothes. Now the fun part is in winter. I remember hanging those clothes on the clothesline and how cold my fingers got. But it had to be done so we did it.

Later in the day or two I remember taking the clothespins off the line. Dad’s overalls, his shirts and socks, as they billowed out and were frozen stiff. Carrying the clothes into the house was quite a job, as you couldn’t take a lot of clothes at a time. In the house all the clothes were stiff so we put them on chairs to dry. It was a horrible job hanging those clothes and bringing them in. But it was worth the wait as our house smelled like none other with those clean clothes drying. One day a friend of my folks came, I think to get eggs, and she wanted to know why Mother hung her chickens on the clothesline. Well, my mother made wool quilts and she would get the raw wool and then she would wash it and hang it on the line. My mother had a great laugh at that and I don’t think she ever forgot it, as I haven’t.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Phyllis Hendricks who passed away from cancer. Her husband, Harvey, has been gone quite a long time. Phyllis and Harvey had the Bar-H Ranch.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Ruelle Smith who passed away. To his wife, his sons, Robert (Lynn) and Gerald (Alyce) and grandchildren. Ruelle used to sell seed corn.

Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

by Marian Furchtenicht

Farmers were really busy working in the fields, but it slowed down with a rainy period. Sunshine returned just in time for the holiday weekend. Wildflowers in bloom included the trilliums, bloodroot, wood violets and hepaticas. The wild plums are a show of white blossoms and lilacs are getting there, along with the apple blossoms and dandelions.

Birds are busy building nests and the full flower moon was over the weekend.

Busy weekend with Shell Lake and Spooner graduations, open houses and Memorial Day services.

Mavis Schlapper went along with her sister, Joyce Wade, and they picked up a friend and went to Cambridge, Minn., and visited their 94-year-old aunt, Armilla Holcombe, on Wednesday. She is their mom’s, the late Mable Huerth’s, sister. They found her doing well, very alert and enjoyed visiting about old times and the present and the lives in the nursing home there. Then they enjoyed taking in a dance at the Legion hall while there.

A happy retirement is wished for our Pete Frey, retiring from Washburn County law enforcement. He was so good with kids as a juvenile officer in the schools.

More fishing time, Peter!

Saturday, June 1, is the annual Whitetail fishing contest on Bear Lake from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. Family fun events

continue throughout the evening.

Roger and Cindy Furchtenicht and I attended the awards and scholarship day at Shell Lake High School on Thursday.

As I sit here writing there is a big white-headed eagle that landed in the big oak tree down by my pond.

I’m watching, so that has made my day, as I’m getting ready for my grandson, Casey’s, graduation open house. We get so busy in life, but we must take time to enjoy all these things all around us that are so relaxing.

Call me with your news!

Friday, May 24, was a bright and cool morning. I think they said the weekend would be a cooler holiday.

Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend. It was also graduation here in Shell Lake. We want to congratulate all of you young people who are now continuing your life at college or whatever you have set your goals at.

Our sympathy to the family of Ruelle Smith, 88, who passed away May 18. Funeral services were held at St. Joseph Catholic Church on Thursday, May 23, with military honors by the Shell Lake Honor Guard. He will be buried in South Beloit, Ill. On Thursday afternoon, Tam Smith and her piano students in Spooner came to give us a recital. Also on Thursday, JoAnne Olson and her piano students gave a concert to a packed house at Glenview. Thank you!

Peder Pederson has had a busy week getting ready for a garage sale, which was held Friday and Saturday. Mary Morton was there to help him.

Arlys Santiago and sister Audrey returned Wednesday from visiting Avis Paulson in Verndale, Minn. Avis’ oldest daughter, Karen, arrived from Corpus Christi, Texas, for her grandson’s graduation that was held over the weekend.

that have come over here single and will go back married, so you can see that some of them must be attractive. But I guess I won’t be one of the 4,000.

“I think this ought to be about enough for one letter.

“I am as ever, Glen H. Miller Co. D 1st Army, M.N.C., A.P.O. 774, A.E.F.” Mr. Miller served for the duration of World War I. Before 1939, WWI was called the Great War, or the war to end all wars. Mr. Miller returned home, got married and raised children. He must have been a wonderful man, because Jean has such fond memories and heartwarming stories about him. I hope you enjoyed his letter and that you will join me in remembering the sacrifices of all our soldiers from every war, and praying for peace and the safe return of our young people presently serving in Afghanistan and other dangerous places.

See you next week.

eral groans, and knew what it meant and wondered why they did not get me and be done with it. About that time I got one, and it rolled me clear over and I, felt something in my left shoulder — the side toward the machine guns and I thought my time had come, I supposed I had to die and tried to do it. Well I never had died before and didn’t know just how to go at it. I must have made an awful mess of it because one of the fellows near me said, ‘Did they get you. Miller?’ And I said, ‘Yes.’ as near like a dying man as I knew how. He said, ‘Is it bad?’ and I said, ‘I don’t know,’ and my breath was coming in short puffs. I wondered how long it would take me to die and just how it was going to feel.

“About that time a lieutenant called to me and said, ‘Miller, you see if you can make it back down and tell that other company to hurry and bring up their guns or we won’t have any men left.’ The reason he selected me was that we didn’t have many seasoned men left in the company and he always wanted a seasoned man for that kind of a job. I started to tell him that I was dying. Then I decided not to, so I crawled out of my pack and picked up my rifle and made a run for it — what I mean is that I ran.

Well I went back there a few days later and examined my pack and found the machine gun bullet had hit a can of “bully” beef or corned beef or ‘oversea chicken’ or whatever you want to call it. Well it rolled me over all right and the strap of my pack jerked on my shoulder a little and my imagination did the rest. I might also add that after we got them cleaned out we had only 160 men left in the battalion of 1,000, but most of them were only wounded.

“Now, about the mademoiselles, I will be honest with you. Some of them are fairly good-looking but most of them are anything but good-looking. There have been something more than 4,000 American soldiers and sailors

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

I stopped by and visited with Jean Odden for a while last week. Jean is such a gracious hostess. While we were visiting, Jean shared some stories about her childhood.

She has a copy of a letter that her dad, Glen Miller, wrote to his cousins while he was a soldier in Europe during WWI. I was so moved by the story he told that I asked Jean if I could share it with you in honor and in memory of all the men and women who have ever served in our military. She said that she thought her dad would be happy if he knew his story was being shared, so here it is.

This was printed under the Army and Navy section of an old newspaper, I’m assuming it was the Muscoda Progressive. It was written on April 17, 1919, to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Miller “Dear Cousins: “I received your letter and am returning the envelope to show how it has traveled about before it reached me.

There were four copies of the Muscoda Progressive came for me today. I think they were the first copies of the Muscoda papers that I have seen since I left there more than four years ago. It seems that most of the people around there must be newcomers or maybe I have forgotten just who lived there when I left.

“Here is quite a joke on me. One time in the last drive we had to cross a small field, which was covered with machine gun fire and in the middle of the field there was a small strip of brush, a brush fence, I guess.

“Well, we went across the field on the run and many of the boys are still there. However, I and some of the others reached this brush and lay down to keep under cover of the deadly fire.

“I had my pack on and after I had laid there a minute or two, the Huns turned their guns on us and I heard sev-

SHELL LAKE WATERWORKS, PWS ID 86603044 The CCR Will Not Be Mailed, But Is Available On Request Water System Information

If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Mitch Brown at 715-468-7873.

Public works meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month at the city hall council chamber.

Health Information

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about con taminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health-care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Educational Information

The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
