by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Informative speeches on invasive plants, water quality and snails highlighted the annual meeting of the Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District on Saturday, June 29. Joan Locken of the lake advisory committee stated that the public access management plan the committee has incorporated has been put into practice. The adopt-an-access program is currently looking for people to help maintain lake access areas by adopting one of the available accesses. Lake coordinator Dave Vold shared data outlining ongoing projects in and around Shell Lake. Vold reported that the current lake elevation is at 1,218 feet, and according to data that has been collected yearly since 1935, the high and low elevations have steadily risen. “Therefore, if we look over history, it’s quite possible that we could get up to that flooding elevation again,” Vold explained. A 10-year study done in partner with the U.S. Geological Survey and the city on a survey of the groundwater is complete, but the report

has not been officially released. According to Vold’s data, 82 percent of the water that comes into Shell Lake is precipitation. “We will be looking at these studies to determine if there are some projects that should be installed around the lake,” stated Vold. Vold also reported that the soil on the south side of the city park has become so compacted that they have been working on aerating the soil in an effort to curb erosion. A volunteer is needed to check vegetation beds in the lake for Eurasian water milfoil on a monthly basis. Vold also stated that they still need to check the lake for the invasive species of zebra mussels and spiny water fleas. Shell Lake Mayor Sally Peterson observed that this would be Vold’s last year as the lake coordinator. “We are truly going to miss Dave, and thank you once again for all the hard work you have done,” stated Peterson. Vold has been the lake coordinator since 2003. “It’s been an interesting ride, we have good camaraderie within the city I think, and so it’s a team effort,” stated Vold. Compared to last year, this year’s boat inspections are lower due to the cold spring. Jared McQuade, coordinator for watercraft inspectors for the city, reported that 720 boats have been inspected, and only nine boats were found

"Stolen Magic" performed at the Quam

One of the funniest scenes from the play “Stolen Magic” featured the character of Sir Poppy, played by Emm Bassett. Jared Egbert and Tiffany Romportl played the straight men to her overthe-top performance. The Theatre In the Woods Youth Production was performed Friday-Sunday, June 28-29.

Echo, played by Kelsey Egbert, confronts the pixies who are carrying out the evil witch’s doings. They are played by Madeline Hopke and Payton Anderson.

King Horace, played by Spencer Peck, confronts his lieutenant, Fernald, played by Dominic Hopke. King Horace is the antagonist in the story as he does everything imaginable to solidify his control to exploit the forest for power and wealth.

The turning point in the play comes when the princess, played by Monica Plesems, confronts the power of evil that her mother the queen/witch, played by Emmie Bassett, wields. Tiffany Romportl plays the role of Gretel, who along with her brother Hansel and Echo, helps the princess return to power. The play “Stolen Magic” was written and directed by Lane Hanson. Hanson, a recent Spooner High School graduate, came up through the TITW Youth Theatre.

The play ends with the creatures from the woods standing up to the king and removing him from the throne. Shown (L to R) top: Alyssa King. Middle: Rachel Medley, Julia Corbin and Isaac Hopke.

Public hears about city’s near $2 million street improvements by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Additional seating had to be found for the public hearing on city’s 2013 street project that was held at the Shell Lake City Hall on Thursday, June 27. Teresa Anderson, engineer from MSA Professional Services, helped answer and address questions about the project. Dan Harrington, president of the city’s public works administration committee, was present to assist, along with committee member Andy Eiche, Mayor Sally Peterson and city Administrator Brad Pederson. The general scope of the project includes work on: • Second Avenue from Second Street to Third Street, with work on the water main, curb and gutter, and street work that includes pavement and base work, including sidewalk work. • Fifth Avenue, from Second Street to CTH B, will have work on the water main, with some curb and gutter work. The street will also have work with pavement and base with some sidewalk. • Eighth Avenue and First Street, from CTH B on the southeast (First Street and Sixth Avenue) to CTH B on the northwest (Eighth Avenue and Sixth Street), will have water main work and sanitary sewer work where it currently exists. That portion is only being replaced, nothing new will be added. This section will also be getting curb and gutter work along with street work on pavement and base with replacement of the sidewalk where it cur-

The curb and gutter work is limited to only the side where it is now. This section will also receive street work to the pavement and base. The project also includes replacing the interceptor sewer from the intersection of First Street and Eight Avenue, north up around the arts center and to the city’s

wastewater treatment facility, and the addition of a stormwater pond. Anderson stated that the project design is completed and out for bids, and the bid opening is scheduled for next week, Tuesday, July 2, at the village hall. Contractors will be awarded bids at the next city council meeting. Contractors will be given the option to complete the project in two sections, but the projects east of Third Street will be finished this year. “The streets will not be torn up over winter, and the project will have the same contractor for the final stage,” explained Anderson. She estimates the contractor to be awarded by July 8 and July 22 as the

project start date. Eiche stated that work on the project is estimated to end by Oct. 31. “It is up to the contractor where they start on the project but I anticipate them to start on the underground stuff, like replacing the water main,” stated Anderson. Homeowners will be notified when and if their water would be shut off for work on the water main to be completed. In addition, those homeowners that are receiving work on their curb and gutter should expect to be not allowed to drive in their driveway for seven days, to allow the area to cure. Even though the committee and city council attempted to be proactive in the planning process of the project, it was still waylaid by assorted setbacks. The sewer main went down and delays in securing grant funding for the project pushed back the date of when to release project bids. The engineer and committee members fielded many questions on changes and additions to sidewalks, curb and gutter, the storm sewer and the removal of trees. “We basically decided we wouldn’t put sidewalk where it had never existed before in the entire block,” explained Eiche. The need for the removal of some trees was explained by Eiche to be determined by the necessity to fix the elevations of some streets in order to correct water flow issues. According to Eiche, the original project actually began with work needed to be done to one block of Fifth Street and grew from there.

Volunteers needed to set up new Spooner ReStore SPOONER - Volunteers are now being sought to help set up a new Habitat for Humanity ReStore which will open in Spooner this fall. The ReStore will raise funds for Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity by selling household items, furniture and building materials that have been donated by the public. The Spooner ReStore will be located at 805 South River St. in the former Spooner Country Store building. “We’re so excited to be starting up a second store in such a great location,” said David Sandmann, manager of WRHFH’s Restore in St. Croix Falls. “It’s a beautiful building and a terrific location with lots of

the new store, which he did two years ago in St. Croix Falls. Those interested in working together to fight poverty housing are encouraged to call 715-635-4771. “It’s hard work, but it’s a lot of fun, too,” said Sandmann. “And it’s great to know that the funds raised will get people who need them into decent homes.”

About Habitat Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity is a David Sandmann nonprofit, Christian organization focused on housing issues. Its work is made posspace in the building – and for parking.” sible through donations of money, in-kind Sandmann is taking the lead on setting up gifts and the hard work of many volun-

teers. The program is sustainable because homes are not given away, but are sold to local families at cost with a 0-percent interest loan. As families pay back their mortgages, they not only gain equity in their home but also provide the opportunity of affordable home ownership to future families. These funds are combined with other donations to build more homes. To make the homes even more affordable, Habitat for Humanity builds them to meet Energy Star standards. A Habitat home costs an average of $200 per year to heat. - submitted

cialist, shared his knowledge and humor on snails. “In essence they look, they eat, they mate, they get rid of waste, everything, all with their face,” explained Larsen much to the amusement of everyone. There are two types of snails, those that have gills to breathe and those that have a lunglike organ to breathe. The most common snail is the spiral snail and looks like the general caricature of snails with a spiral shell. Larsen stated that if this snail is found in a lake it is a likely indication that the lake is healthy and has good, clean water. Chinese mystery snails are an invasive species of snail that are found in Shell Lake. Originally raised for escargot, these large snails are not invasive in the usual sense. This snail goes through periods where there will be massive die-offs covering beaches with their smelly remains, leaving behind sharp shells making a

walk along the beach both nauseating and dangerous. Larsen reported the appearance of another invasive snail, the New Zealand mud snail. Luckily, this invasive snail species has only been found in Duluth Harbor, but it still poses a serious threat to area lakes. “This snail is so small it could be in the eyelet of your boot and you wouldn’t know it,” explained Larsen. The snail can hide out in its protective shell, producing live snail babies, which too can produce live babies, causing ecosystems to fall to this small but dangerous mollusk. Currently, there are no known effective methods to eliminating this threat, highlighting the urgent need for fishermen and boaters to check not only their boats but their equipment and toys after leaving a lake.

"Geology Rocks" Playing the cool rocks were Adrianna Jovenal, Cathryn Walker, Grace Solveson, Caden Anderson and Jace Burch. The play, “Geology Rocks,” is a musical performed by the Spooner summer school students. This is the first musical that their teacher, Jody Peck, has challenged her students with.

Abolish the IRS

Talk about a rogue agency. The IRS has targeted groups and individuals for their political beliefs by subjecting these people to harassment including multiple audits, divulging personal tax information contrary to law, denying prompt service by failing to respond to questions and requiring lengthy questionnaires with irrelevant questions many of which the IRS had no business asking. These groups or people were treated in this fashion because they held beliefs or political positions that were contrary to President Obama’s. Now we find out that personnel in the IRS wasted millions of taxpayer dollars for such things as online porn, expensive wine, lavish hotel rooms, $100-plus meals, a “Star Trek” spoof, among other atrocious items. Mr. Obama acts shocked, but takes no action, and no one is held

accountable. On the inside I think he is smiling. After all, with his current Africa trip costing up to $100 million, what is $50 million for a few enjoyable IRS conferences? It seems the $50 million that was spent on the party conferences would be more appropriately spent on a large order of jackboots and brown shirts. That way at least IRS personnel would be more appropriately attired when they step into their new role as enforcer of Obamacare. Can you believe the IRS is asking for a 14-percent increase in budget to do the Obamacare enforcement? I have a better idea – get rid of the federal income tax and replace it with a simple flat tax or a consumption tax and abolish the IRS. James Lewis Shell Lake

We are going the wrong way

What has captured my interest is the fact that the Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal of a lawsuit brought by two victims challenging the constitutionality of the law ending collective bargaining for most public workers in the state. A Dane County circuit judge ruled last year that the law was unconstitutional as it applied to school districts and local government but it was unclear if the ruling applied outside Madison and Milwaukee. Obviously there were many constitutional issues. One of the attorneys who brought the lawsuits said he wasn’t surprised that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case saying, “It raises significant constitutional issues that should be resolved in that court.” In the original ruling Dane County Circuit Court Judge Juan Colas said the law violates school and local employees’ constitutional rights to free speech, free association and equal representation because it caps union workers raises but not those of their counterparts. The law excludes several issues from bargaining. The law was and is unconstitutional and it’s definitely time that the Supreme Court hears that appeal. So now a few weeks after the Supreme

Together we celebrate the independence of our nation from Britain in 1776, a day brimming with American pride and gratitude for those who have come before us. Over 200 years ago Congress approved the Declaration of

Court agreed to hear the appeal, there are now attempts to block the hearing of the case by ostensibly those who passed the law. That would be one travesty of injustice heaped upon the other. We cannot let that happen. Wisconsin has been going backward since the election. We were number 11 in growth, job creation, etc. Now we have gone from 11th to 44th to 48th and at last measurement, dead last. Our attention is constantly being diverted by domestic issues instead of the crucial, critical ones. Federal money is being refused for health care. And on that note, the U.S. continues to be down on the list for rating health care. All of the industrialized countries have universal care and are ahead of the U.S. in health care. The stark contrast between Minnesota and Wisconsin also cannot be ignored. While Minnesota is near if not at the top in all categories, Wisconsin is at or near the bottom. The laws and policies of Minnesota stand as polar opposite of those of Wisconsin. That’s got to tell you something – it’s got to tell you everything. We are going the wrong way. Mary A.

75th Assembly State Representative Independence that inaugurated political freedom for our 13 colonies. With parades, family barbeques, and the sights and sounds of fireworks, we are reminded of the importance of community and family, which we share on this day.

Rep. Smith Assembly agriculture committee to Farm Technology Days MADISON – State Rep. Stephen Smith, D–Shell Lake, recently invited members and staff from the Assembly Committee on Agriculture to this year’s Farm Technology Days, which will take place in Dallas, located in Barron County. “I’m excited about 2013 Farm Technology Days which will be held in the 75th Assembly District in Dallas on July 9-12. I am so proud to be able to represent this area of the state and I am honored that the Breezy Hill Dairy will be hosting this wonderful event,” said Smith. Wisconsin Farm Technology Days is the largest agricultural show in Wisconsin and one of the largest in the nation. This four-day outdoor event showcases the latest improvements in production agriculture, and it celebrates the importance of agriculture in Wisconsin. “I have invited members of the agriculture committee to come up to north-

western Wisconsin, spend some time with some of the most important and influential people in the ag industry, and get a firsthand look at why agriculture is so important not just in the 75th Assembly District, but the entire state,” stated Smith. Smith will have a booth located in the Agribusiness Tent for all three days and he welcomes anyone who comes to Farm Technology Days to stop by and speak with him. Smith’s booth number is A044. “Wisconsin’s agriculture community plays such an important role in the state’s economy; it is the backbone of the state’s workforce. I’m proud to serve on the Assembly Committee on Agriculture and I’m honored to participate at this important event. On behalf of the 75th Assembly District constituents, I look forward to seeing you there,” said Smith. — from the Office of Rep. Smith

Draft plan would allow farmers to sell raw milk

by Maureen McCollum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Wisconsin farmers would be able to legally sell raw milk directly to the public under new legislation being drafted at the state Capitol. Under the proposed bill, Grade A raw milk could only be sold directly from farmers to consumers. A sign at the farm and on the container’s label would have to state that the milk is unpasteurized. The measure is still in draft form, and lawmakers hope to get more co-signers through mid-July. The proposal follows the trial and partial acquittal of Sauk County farmer Vernon Hershberger, who came under scrutiny for selling raw milk to members of a buying club. State Rep. Chris Danou says people who want to buy and sell raw milk will continue to do so, and the bill creates reasonable standards. He says it could also help farmers make more money. “If we can allow the agricultural producer to add value to his product by getting a retail price for it, as opposed to wholesale price, that, I think, will help some elements of the rural economy. It’s not obviously going to be a panacea; it’s just another option for folks.”

The bill would explicitly allow direct sales of Grade A raw milk from farmer to consumer, as long as labeling requirements are met. - Photo courtesy Elisha Marshall Among the proposal’s opponents is the Wisconsin Safe Milk Coalition. It consists of medical facilities, state dairy and cheese associations, and the insurance industry. Spokesman Shawn Pfaff says drinking raw milk carries some health risks and outbreaks could tarnish the dairy industry, even if people choose to drink it. “You can’t always control who drinks this product. Kids could drink it. That’s really where we’re focusing our argument on, making sure we have safe milk for kids to drink.” Gov. Walker’s spokesperson said in an emailed statement that in order to allow direct raw milk sales, public health safeguards and industry protections would need to be in place.

Concealed-carry lawsuit venue change challenged

Gun advocates don’t like that a concealed-carry lawsuit is going to federal court

by Gilman Halsted Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen recently changed the venue of a lawsuit challenging the state’s rules for granting concealed-carry permits. A gun rights group is now criticizing the decision. The law being challenged limits the class size of a firearms safety course that’s required for concealed-carry permit applicants. Originally, a Waukesha judge was scheduled to hear arguments on Monday, July 8, on blocking the law. Nik Clark of Wisconsin Carry, Inc. says now that the case has moved to federal court that hearing has been canceled, delaying a decision in the suit. Clark said, “It seems to me that this is a Wisconsin law that we’re talking about, and that Wisconsin courts with elected judges with people from Wisconsin should be the people that litigate Wisconsin law.” Clark’s group says the new class size rules violate the constitutional right for equal protection because people who got permits before the rule were allowed to attend trainings where the student-teacher

A guns right group is challenged the state’s rules for granting concealed-carry permits. - Photo courtesy Robert Nelson ratio was greater than the new one. Clark says the rule will slow the flow of permit applicants at the free weapons trainings his group offers. But gun rights control advocate Jeri Bonavia of the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort says the class-size requirement makes sense and calls the lawsuit a costly effort to weaken the permit rules. “Wisconsin citizens will be footing the bill for this and in essence, they are footing the bill for something that will ultimately put them at more risk and make them less safe. That just seems like really mixed-up priorities to us,” Bonavia stated The state Department of Justice says shifting the lawsuit to federal court will assure a fair and efficient ruling in the case.

Dog days of summer SPOONER — July is a great time to live here in the northwoods. Parades, festivals, camping … there’s so much to enjoy with our families. However, you may want to leave some “members” of your family at home for some of these activities. The Washburn County Health Department sees an increase in the number of dog bites every summer because people include their pets in their summer fun. While dogs can certainly safely participate in many family outings, there are times when Fido is best left at home with a treat: • Parades and other festivals: Even the most social of pooches may snap when someone stomps on their toes, which is a likely occurrence in crowds. Less-wellbehaved dogs may be unable to resist snatching food out of the hands of small children, also resulting in a bite. • Fireworks: What dog doesn’t enjoy the combination of large crowds and loud noises? Please do your dog a favor and leave him home. A frightened dog is much more likely to bite. • Camping: OK, you can take your dog camping with you, but please keep him under your control so he isn’t helping himself to the neighbors s’mores along with the hand that’s holding it or getting

into a fight with their dog. A lot of bites occur when people are trying to separate fighting dogs. Here’s a tip from Dr. Gary Sloniker, DVM, never grab the end with teeth. Pick up the back legs of the dog who is winning, and the dog will stop fighting. Then you can grab your dog’s collar once they are separated. Remember, it’s up to you to not put your pet in a situation where he feels his only way to protect you or himself is to bite. Any dog that bites must be quarantined for 10 days per state statute. If the dog does not have a current rabies vaccine, the quarantine must be done at a veterinary clinic.

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Pat Hubin and Linda King celebrated their retirement from Indianhead Medical Center at a dinner Wednesday, June 19, at Tracks in Spooner. Also recognized was Gayle Marker, who passed away May 15. A total of 129 years of service was shared between these women. Marker was considered the unofficial hospital historian during her 52 years of service to IMC. She was also the longestemployed person in the history of the hospital. Her career began in 1961 when she began ironing sheets in the basement of the old hospital building. Later she advanced to become manager of the housekeeping and laundry departments and was the hospital safety coordinator. “She did things for everybody. She was one of the nicest persons you could meet,” said co-worker Hubin.

Pat Hubin, left, and Linda King, recently retired employees of Indianhead Medical Center, were honored at a retirement dinner.

Gayle Marker was employed at Indianhead Medical Center for 52 years. — Photos submitted Hubin started working at the Shell Lake hospital in 1970 as a staff nurse. She worked her way to become the supervisor of the operating room, emergency room and sterile processing departments. She served at the hospital for 43 years and has no definite plans for retirement. “I am going to be working in the garden, possibly volunteering,” she stated. King started in April of 1973 at IMC. She ended her 40-year career at IMC as a medical technologist. King said that she is very happy that she made the decision to work at the Shell Lake hospital, and loved every minute of it. “I am going to miss my friends, but I am going to stay home and baby-sit my grandchildren,” she stated happily.

Cifaldi Motors Inc. helped raise $540 for Shell Lake Education Foundation SHELL LAKE – Cifaldi Motors Inc. of Cumberland helped raise $540 in funding for Shell Lake Education Foundation with Chrysler brand’s Drive for the Kids™ program. The fundraising event was held Saturday, June 15, in conjunction with the elementary school’s softball tournament. The Shell Lake Education Foundation Funds raises funds that are distributed to classrooms through a grant application process. “The Chrysler brand and our local dealerships are committed to giving back to the communities where we do business,” said Jeff Hines, director of the Denver Business Center for Chrysler Group LLC. “We are extremely proud to support both schools and organizations, as they encourage student development and growth.” Participants earned a $10 contribution to the school on their behalf from the Chrysler brand by taking a brief test drive in a 2013 model Town & Country minivan, as well as other Chrysler vehicles made available for test drives thanks to Cifaldi Motors Inc. dealership. Since 1993, when Chrysler introduced Drive for the Kids™, Chrysler dealers have worked with parents and educators in communities across the nation. Chrysler has contributed nearly $5 million directly to local schools for student needs, from playgrounds and field trips to reading programs and new computers. Chrysler is proud of this tradition of community involvement. For more information, visit drive4kids.com. — from Drive4Kids program

Annual tour of city facilities includes plans for improvements by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Members of Shell Lake’s parks and recreation committee toured city recreational facilities Tuesday, June 25, discussing slated improvements and issues that needed work. In addition to four committee members, Mayor Sally Peterson, city Administrator Brad Pederson and city council member Andy Eiche toured the facilities, guided by Jeff Parker, the city’s public works director. The group was told by Parker about the next phase of work to be done by the new restroom. Six-foot sidewalks will be poured around the rest room and along west the side of the Lions Club pavilion. Parker stated that the concrete would start to be poured the following day and slated to be done by July 4. In addition to sidewalks, the rest room will also in-

clude a clean water spigot and a drinking fountain. The committee agreed on consensus to the removal of cottonwood trees in the shoreline buffer. Peterson remarked that they were not part of the original buffer plan and detract from the concessions area of the lakefront pavilion. Committee member Dan Harrington stated that the trees represent future problems for the city when they die. Slated for possible city council action were adding trees to the park, ice machines, vending machines, adding new lights and poles at the clay track, and new surface material on the tennis courts. The city has already been granted permission for the transplantation of maple trees from the school forest. The trees would be planted in the grassy area in front of the pavilion’s bandshell. Harrington reported to the committee

Jeff Parker indicates where the water spigot and fountain will go to parks and recreation committee members Dan Harrington and Chad Shelton.

He did say that he has not heard back from the Viking Coca-Cola company at the time of the meeting. The installation of self-serve ice machines was also discussed, but the owner of the machines is not completely committed to placing them in Shell Lake. Parker reported that the lakefront pavilion was slated for refinishing, and the paint had been purchased for the project. The building would receive a new coat of paint only to areas where it was needed. The project will require a least a two-man team to complete the project. Due to the possibility of increased use of the clay track, the committee agreed on

consensus to the placing of two additional poles and lighting. Two of the poles would receive two lights, and the two poles additional would receive three lights. In conjunction to lighting the track, two of the lights would be used to light the area by the track, providing additional safety during night events. As annual maintenance, the tennis courts will be receiving patch work on problem areas, but “they will need to be redone, but were not sure how far into the future that will be,” explained Parker. The city hopes that their patching efforts will make the courts last until they are forced to be totally redone, and have been saving some funds up for that purpose

Wisconsin American Legion recognizes over half a century of service by Danielle Moe Register staff writer

SHELL LAKE — “For God and Country” is a part of the American Legion’s mantra and a personal oath for Shell Lake resident Elmer Anderson. Anderson served in the Korean War from 1951 to 1953 as an Army corporal, and has continued to serve his country and community with the American Legion, the Shell Lake Honor Guard, and with the VFW. For 58 diligent years of service, Anderson received a certificate of appreciation from the American Legion Department of Wisconsin on Thursday, June 27. “He’s a heck of a guy,” said Calvin Featherly, Washburn County American Legion County Council commander, who signed the certificate. Featherly described Anderson as sweet, super man has been in very active service with the Legion. “He served as the American Legion county adjutant for 20-some years,” Featherly explained. In the adjutant position, Anderson served as the right-hand man to the county council helping with treasury and administrative tasks for the group. In his years of service, Anderson has assisted the Shell Lake Post Bergin-Nieman

Elmer Anderson received a certificate of appreciation from Jake “Sunny” Jacobs, American Legion Post 225 new post commander, as Lisa McNally, the post adjutant, looks on. American Legion as the post commander, post adjutant, and is the current vice commander. In addition, Anderson served as the District 12 vice commander and the county council adjutant for the Legion. “When you’re drafted, you’re sworn in, you take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and follow orders to the best of your ability,” stated Anderson. The veteran carries those years of service to his country as an honor, and it reflects in his continued service to his community. With Anderson’s effort, the Legion has supported the Badger Boys State program. “One junior boy goes for one week for government training,” explained Anderson. Nine hundred boys from across the state take part in the program at Ripon College. In the program, the boys develop a sense of individual obligation to their community, state and nation in the hopes of creating better leaders for the future. “They do a lot of good,” said Anderson, reflecting on the Legion. Anderson was drafted at the age of 19 and served in the 24th Division of Army Engineers in the 3rd Combat Engineers Battalion in the Korean War. This year marks the war’s 60-year anniversary. During the war, engineers were the support to infantry divisions that led the fight. “They called us the grunts,” said Anderson, smirking. His company cut trees, built roads, and shared the good with the ugly memories. “It’s supposed to be the forgotten war,” he said, shaking

his head, obviously thinking no one, including himself, has forgotten those years of service. After his years in the service, Anderson not only joined with the Legion, but also

with the Shell Lake Honor Guard. Anderson has served with the Shell Lake Honor Guard during military funerals for the past 55 years. “I was the only one that was a Korean veteran, but I was very fortunate that I can go and do that.” The certificate that Anderson recently received was kept a secret by all who knew, and when he read it off the agenda for the meeting on Thursday he said, “And some certificate to a guy I don’t know.” Everyone clapped for Anderson as he received the certificate, and he was the most humble of all. “I really appreciate this very much,” he said, smiling and dabbing his eyes. The timing for the celebration could not have been better, as he celebrated his 84th birthday on Friday, June 28. The American Legion Shell Lake Post 225 and the Shell Lake VFW Post 9867 plan to have a meet-and-greet picnic on Thursday, Aug. 22, at the Shell Lake beach. They will have brats and ask for people to bring a dish to pass, and a veteran. “It will be an opportunity for the community to join and support the veterans of the area and to see the organizations,” explained Lisa McNally, Post 225 adjutant.

Three northwestern Wisconsin projects celebrated

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER - The Northwest Wisconsin Mobile Travel Information Center has toured the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois spreading the word about area events, businesses and new adventures that await. A ribbon cutting on Thursday, June 27, offered an opportunity for community members and business owners interested in the MoTIC trailer and the Great Northern Railroad to experience both firsthand. The MoTIC trailer was the brainchild of Greg Vreeland who approached the Destination Marketing Organization to make it a reality. Nancy Herman, owner of Yellow River Advertising and Design, was the volunteer facilitator for MoTIC. “I’d like to give credit where it’s due,” stated Drew Nussbaum, regional tourism specialist with Wisconsin Department of Tourism. “Without this lady (Herman) it would never have happened.” Herman, Vreeland and private business owners from across Northwest Wisconsin came together to create the one-of-a-kind traveling information trailer that has visited 11 different cities in three states in four months. MoTIC received the 2013 Governor’s Tourism Excellence Award on Tuesday, March 19, at the Wisconsin Governor’s Conference on Tourism held in Madison. Herman and Michelle Voight, executive director for Washburn County Tourism, accepted the award from Gov. Scott

The Great Northern Railroad is ready for its afternoon trip. – Photos by Danielle Moe Walker and Secretary of Tourism Stephanie Klett. “We will have good comparison numbers for next year,” said Herman at the DMO meeting that was conducted after a complimentary train ride and lunch on Vreeland’s Great Northern Train. Herman estimates that the MoTIC saw anywhere from 125,000 to 150,000 people during the trailer’s 11-weekend travel tour. The trailer is covered in graphic designs, created by Herman, depicting the 11 counties and the specific events, natural attractions and businesses they each offer. “It gave people a way to start their vacation planning in a fun way,” stated Herman. Vreeland was also celebrating the near completion of his new depot and regional visitor center on Dilly Lake Road, four miles north of Spooner. The visitor portion of the depot is complete, while

the ticketing and gift shop areas are still under construction. However, the train is currently offering rides. “It was too long a trip for people to go from Spooner to the Namekagon, so now from our new depot it’s only 45 minutes and they can go and enjoy other area activities,” explained Vreeland. For more information on the NW Wis. MoTIC contact Nancy Herman at 218-4260964, yelriadv@frontiernet.net. Information on the Great Northern Railroad can be found at spoonertrainride.com.

The MoTIC trailer includes a conglomeration of advertisements and informational brochures about the 11 counties that make up Northwest Wisconsin and their attractions.

Cutting the ribbon is Greg Vreeland, with Nancy Herman holding the award, standing alongside state Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, Drew Nussbaum of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism and other various people that made the MoTIC trailer possible.

by Joanne M. Haas, Bureau of Law Enforcement MADISON — Wisconsin all-terrain vehicle riders looking to take advantage of dry skies and a Fourth of July holiday break should note that Gov. Scott Walker recently signed into law two safety-related bills for both all-terrain and utilityterrain vehicles. Conservation Warden Gary Eddy, also the ATV-UTV administrator, says the new laws stress safety while also adjusting age and speed restrictions. “It remains vitally important that all operators remember these safety practices – stay sober, keep your speed down and wear a helmet,” Eddy says. “We don’t want you to become an addition to the statistics.” In 2012, 90 percent of the fatalities involved victims not wearing helmets. One of the laws signed by the governor on June 21 provides more flexibility for younger people to ride ATVs. But, Eddy said, it also emphasizes safety and involvement by adults. Eddy says the new law does the following: • Permits youth under age 12 to operate on private property with permission, without a safety certificate, if accompanied by a designated adult. Note: “Accompanied” means being subject to continuous verbal direction or control. • Permits youth under age 12 to operate on public trails without a safety certificate if accompanied by a designated adult. • Requires youth ages 12 through 15 to be accompanied by a designated adult while operating on ATV road routes. • Eliminates the 10-mph speed limit on ATV road routes when within 100 feet of a person not operating a motorized vehicle and when within 150 feet of a dwelling.

• Permits people to operate ATVs and UTVs without required safety certification during a demonstration event on a closed course. The event must be sponsored by a licensed dealer, a club, municipality, county or the state of Wisconsin. If the person is under age 18, they must be accompanied by a designated adult. All operators must wear helmets at all times. The second bill signed into law by the governor moves the authority for selecting members and making appointments to the Off-Road Advisory Council appointments from the DNR to the governor in terms of the member-selection process. A council of seven members would be appointed by the governor to serve three-year terms. Appointees must be Wisconsin residents and be members of an all-terrain vehicle or utility terrain vehicle user group. The seven-member council provides advice and makes recommendations to the DNR, Department of Transportation, governor and Legislature on matters relating to ATV trails and routes, and must make recommendations to the DNR concerning requests for state funding for certain ATV and UTV projects. “The ATV-UTV sport is growing in the state, thanks to a system of trails maintained by citizen groups who are committed to ensuring its safety for all,” Eddy said. “One person operating carelessly can ruin the ride for others.” “One of the best things you can do for yourself and other riders is to complete a DNR-certified ATV safety course. These courses establish a safety mindset and provide basic knowledge in the safe, legal and ethical operation of ATVs,” he said. Safety education certification is required for all UTV and ATV operators born on or after Jan. 1, 1988. DNR recreational safety specialists recommend all ATV and UTV operators complete a safety course. Learn more about ATV/UTV safety and registration policies, and where to find safety classes, by searching the DNR website for keyword ATV.

Area writers corner by Mary B. Olsen In my early years I enjoyed going to movies, like most of the young people, and many of us girls fell in love with handsome male actors. Visions of leading men, Clark Gable and Gary Grant, among others, danced in our dreams. My favorite, other than the cowboys, was James Cagney. They say he ranks third and others say eighth in popularity. I fell for him when he was in a movie called “The Oklahoma Kid” in 1939. There was a scene where he was hiding under a table, with the tablecloth concealing him, and it was just hilarious. He played a cowboy type and made it like a comedy. This ability to go from being serious to comedy was really great. His in-

Pie social is coming

Nancy Rich, Spooner, is ready to make some of her mouthwatering pies just in time for the annual pie and ice-cream social to be held at the Washburn County Historical Museum in Shell Lake on Saturday, July 6. — Photo submitted SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County Historical Society will be having their annual pie and ice-cream social on Saturday, July 6, from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m., at the museum complex in Shell Lake. This is the same day as the Shell Lake Fine Art Fair in Memorial Park. All proceeds go toward maintaining the museum, which houses one of the largest displays of historical items in the area. The museum complex consists of the former St. John’s Lutheran Church, the church parsonage, the Beaver Brook School, a sky watch building used during WWII and the Hewitt Building. The newest addition to the complex is the Bennett Home located next door to the parsonage. Volunteers are always welcome. Anyone wishing to volunteer or get additional information can contact the museum by calling 715-468-2982 and leaving a message. For anyone wanting family history, the museum has pictures dating back to the 1800s, newspapers, obituaries, family stories and other resources available. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day the museum is open Fridays and Saturdays, 11 a.m.- 4 p.m. Be sure to stop by for a tasty piece of pie with ice cream and a look at the museum buildings, which will also be open for tours. — from WCHS

earing the words, Fourth of July, brings to mind images of family picnics where watermelon or ice cream is served. July is National Ice Cream Month as well as the month where we celebrate our nation’s birthday. Even though there are several flavors of ice cream to choose from, I still prefer vanilla. When I read about ice-cream maker Joe Morris, I came to the conclusion that I am boring in the ice-cream world. Joe Morris is one of three ice-cream makers for a successful Texas company. They are known for their quality, creativity and innovation with ice cream. Some flavors are made with ingredients ranging from chocolate and strawberries to green tea and dried chipotle peppers. One of the longtime employees of the company was quoted as saying, “Why are we making ice cream? It’s a happy food. We’re here to make people happy.” We all have our own favorite place where we like to get our ice-cream treats. Some may even say it is at the Shell Lake State Bank on a Friday or Saturday during June’s Dairy Month. The bank generously provides free ice cream on those days to salute Wisconsin’s dairy farmers.  For National Ice Cream Month I thought I’d share with you some information I received from grandparents.com on some hot spots for cool treats. One such spot is Georgetown Valley Candy  in Georgetown, Colo., and Idaho Springs, Colo.   Since 1985, Rube Goeringer, known as the Olde Goat, has been serving ice cream that boasts a butterfat content of 18 to 20 percent, which is higher than most. The candies and toppings used to accent signature flavors also are made in the shop. It is written that another treat would be a visit with Rube himself, “who takes almost as much delight in sharing tall tales to amuse his customers as he does in sharing his ice cream.” The Cayuga Lake Creamery  in Interlaken, N.Y., serves up Breakfast a la Mode on Saturdays and Sundays, offering homemade waffles topped with maple bacon ice cream, or you

could try the oatmeal ice cream. The creamery also creates specialty flavors such as asparagus and jalapeño. Grandpa’s Homemade Ice Cream in  Burlington, Iowa, is a family-owned-and-operated establishment that serves up old-fashioned ice cream. Some of the recipes used are more than 100 years old and have been handed down from generation to generation. Their berry ice creams are made with fresh, local berries. Snookie’s Malt Shop,  Des Moines, Iowa,  is open only six months each year, and the season’s opening is a much-anticipated local event. Folks camp out in the parking lot to vie for the honor of being the first customer of the year. The winner is featured in a poster that’s showcased inside the shop. Canine friends can get a free cone of their own when they visit. Good’s Candy Shop  of Anderson, Ind., has been in business since the 1940s. It has a Special Flavors of the Week to honor service professions. Coffee and Doughnut ice cream, with chunks of homemade doughnut in espresso ice cream, honors police officers. When it’s the featured flavor, any cop can get a cup (or cone) of it on the house.  Milky Moos, Enterprise, Ala., has a monument to the boll weevil. This beetle was responsible for the downfall of cotton, forcing farmers of Enterprise to raise peanuts as their new crop. The Boll Weevil special at Milky Moos is peanut butter ice cream with peanuts, peanut butter chips, dirt made out of crushed chocolate-cream sandwich cookies and cotton, which is marshmallows. By the Scoop  in Middle River, Md., is decked out with the 1950s theme. Their signature flavor of ice cream is Crabby Pretzel, with a vanilla ice-cream base, flavored with Old Bay seasoning and studded with white chocolate-covered pretzels. Even after reading about all the specialty flavors available at the various ice-cream shops in our nation, I would still claim vanilla as my favorite, whether it is boring or not.

Broadway. He was born George Michael Cohan, July 4, 1878. He was of Irish parents and born into vaudeville. His mother, Helen, and father, Jeremiah Cohan, were performers. He was in the act when he was a baby, danced before he walked — not really, but almost — and by the time he was 8, he was playing the violin and dancing with his parents and sister, Josie. He gained fame in the play “Peck’s Bad Boy.” They traveled as The Four Cohans and did comedy and danced. He wrote music and acted in plays and went on to be considered the father of musical comedy. He produced plays and revues and wrote over 300 songs. He spent several summers in Podunk, or East Brookfield, Ma., and he made it famous in his acts. The “hayseed hicks” came to mean a little place of no importance. Sounds like the New York attitude, to me. He was definitely a New Yorker. George M. Cohan wrote the songs “The Yankee Doodle Boy,” “Over There,” “Give my Regards to Broadway” and “You’re A Grand Old Flag.” Another was “Forty-five Minutes from Broadway.” He passed away Nov. 5, 1942. He got to see the film of his life. James Cagney once met Mr. Cohan but they never talked together. In 1955, James Cagney again played Cohan in the movie, starring Bob Hope as Eddie Foy, “The Seven Little Foys.” He refused any pay for the role. Mickey Rooney played Cohan in an NBC television special in 1957. James Cagney had a wife, Frances Vernon, and two children. He passed away in 1986. George M. Cohan married Ethel Levey and later divorced, and married Agnes Mary Nolan in 1907. They lived together until they died, both in 1942. He had four children. There is a statue of him in Times Square. Anyone can stand before it and think of the great contribution one man made to America. Both James Cagney and George M. Cohan became famous in the entertainment industry. The Fourth of July is a good time to celebrate both men and their music.

tensity in any role made him a star in many hit movies. It was heartbreaking when he was dragged, screaming, to the electric chair. It was enough to give you nightmares. In 1942, the movie “Yankee Doodle Dandy” was playing at a theater in a town three miles from our home. My friend, Madelon, and I rode on the bus, recently started between the two towns, to see a matinee performance of this movie. It was a daring thing for us to do without a parent. Overall, it was scary but a delightful experience. James Cagney played the role of George M. Cohan, and it was his life story. I found it interesting that the lives of both the famous Broadway producer and the movie actor were similar in many ways. James Cagney was born in New York City in 1899. He was born poor, Irish, and he graduated from high school, but he had to drop out of college when his father died of the Spanish flu. He spent several years in vaudeville as a dancer and comedian. He played a woman and danced in the revue “Every Sailor.” In 1925, he had his first nondancing role. Like George M. Cohan, he became involved in every part of theater and film. He went to Hollywood and ran a dance studio for actors, and he did choreography as well as acting in films. He was the actor who rubbed a grapefruit half into Mae Clarke’s face in the movie “The Public Enemy.” He and the actress thought it would be cut, as they were just playing around. It made cinema history. Whenever James went into a restaurant, waiters would bring him a grapefruit half. James Cagney played movie gangsters and ranked up there with movie gangsters Edward G. Robinson, George Raft and Humphrey Bogart. He played a lawyer in “G Men.” He played the bad guy in “Angels With Dirty Faces.” He made nine films with Pat O’Brien. When he was asked what was his favorite role, he would say, “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” They began filming it the day after Pearl Harbor. He had danced in other films, but his performance as an actor and a dancer in this film was spectacular. He won the Oscar. It is considered an all-time classic film. George M. Cohan was called the man who owned

Happy Independence Day! One good thing this year — we certainly shouldn’t have to worry about grass fires from fireworks. Well, maybe anyway. It’s been so wet it doesn’t seem that a person could start a grass fire even if he was trying to. The really big news this week in our family is that our grandson, Garett Thon, gave his wonderful girlfriend, Kandice Bonander, an engagement ring! Garett asked his mom, Lynn, and I to go with him when he picked out the ring, and we were very happy - and excited - to do that. We started our shopping trip in Rice Lake, and thought that if he didn’t find the perfect ring there we’d go to Eau Claire or Duluth. Well, we really didn’t have to go any farther than Zimmerman Jewelers in the mall. He found the most beautiful set there, but we did look a couple of more places just to be sure. After he bought it he was so nervous. He was afraid Kandice might not like the ring, and he wasn’t sure how to give it to her. You know, the typical guy stuff. It almost goes without saying that he came up with the perfect idea of how to pop the question, and she said “yes.” And, of course, she loves the ring. She called that evening to let us know that she and Garett were now engaged, and she sounded so happy. They are at Country Fest this weekend, so we haven’t seen the happy couple in person, but we’re very happy for them - especially for Garett. He picked out a wonderful woman to spend the rest of his life with. Oh, and another exciting thing. Justin Olson has purchased the Rolling Oaks Restaurant from his grandma, Pat Olson. He became the owner on July 1. Justin has been working with Pat for quite a few years now, and knows all the ins and outs of running the restaurant, but, if you know Pat, you know that she will be there helping a lot. Instead of just relaxing though, like most of us would do if we were able to, she is already planning a new career, which she hopes will take her through her next 20 years. Congratulations, Justin and, Pat, why don’t you slow down just a little. You probably have already had this kind of experience, but for all you uninitiated, if you want to be embarrassed, take a 2-year-old shopping. Summer Marsh was shopping at Walgreen’s pharmacy with Wrig the other day, and suddenly Wrig started saying “enema,” in a pretty loud voice. Summer couldn’t imagine what he wanted, and he

kept repeating it, getting louder each time. All the people were starting to look at the little guy shouting “enema,” and Summer was getting pretty embarrassed. Finally she looked around and saw M&Ms. She asked Wrig, “Do you want some M&Ms?” And he said, “Yes, enema.” We love him. Isn’t it amazing how many dragonflies we have this year? I’m so glad they’re around to eat some of these stupid mosquitoes. We use a lot of mosquito repellent around here, but I’m always a little leery about what it might do to your body. I found a recipe for homemade mosquito repellent, and I’m going to try it. You take half a liter of rubbing alcohol and soak 100 grams of whole cloves in it for four days. Stir it every morning and evening. After four days, add 100 milliliters of baby oil to it, and it’s ready to use. I’ll let you know if it works or not. We had early deadlines this week because of the holiday, so I’m writing this on Friday, June 28, which is Elmer Anderson’s and my birthdays. I don’t know how old Elmer is this year, but I just turned 70. Isn’t that exciting? I wonder if this decade will be as much fun as the last one was. One nice thing, we’ll probably have more greatgrandchildren to spoil before I have to face another of the annoying birthdays that end in zero. Anyway, Elmer, if you happen to read this, I hope your birthday was great. Pat Olson’s birthday was on June 29. She’s my sister, you know, so when we were kids we always shared a birthday party. I remember that the parties were always fun, and we always had gifts, but the only gift I really remember from back then is an umbrella, raincoat and rain hat that someone gave me when I was about 5 years old. Anyway, if you see Pat, you can congratulate her on the sale of the Rolling Oaks, and tease her a little bit about getting old. My friend Bill Evans, from Stoughton, sent a package up last week. I don’ know how he even remembers my birthday, but he does. He sent a 1943 dime in mint condition, some collector postage stamps depicting scenes from WWII in 1943, and a pamphlet from 1912 about the Lutheran church from Wartburg Publishing House. What can I say? It’s always a surprise when I open a package from Bill. That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you have a very happy Fourth of July. See you next time.

hen the body of President W Abraham Lincoln was moved from Washington, D.C., to Springfield,

Ill., it was taken through Albany, N.Y. In the crowd at Albany were a mother and her young son. Lifting the child up the mother cried, “Son, take a good look at that man. He died for you.” As a leader of a nation divided by strife, that may have been true. There was another man, Jesus, who did indeed die for us. But his death was different. His death was that we might have forgiveness for our sins. His death was for our salvation. He died that we might have eternal life through him and live with him in heaven. When he died, he did not stay dead, but rose from the grave. We need to take a good look at Jesus. We need to see that in him we have someone who loves us and cares for us, someone who will hear and answer our prayers, someone who will give us peace when we are going through difficult times. But more than that, we need to accept him as our savior and make him the Lord of our life!

Friday was an early news deadline. There’s a lot that will be going on with the Fourth of July coming up. Wednesday, July 3, there will be the Shell Lake fireworks, food and street dance. The Getaway Bar is having fireworks at dark on Saturday, July 6. Also on July 6 there is live music by Rob Knowlton at 8 p.m. and a fireworks show at 10 a.m. at the Backwoods Bar and Whitetail Campground. Little white daisies and orange hawkweed flowers are adorning our roadsides. In flower gardens, the peonies have popped open and June roses are in bloom. Cornfields are coming. Some will and some won’t be knee high by the Fourth of July. Sure a different year than last year. The fireflies, or lightning bugs are out and also lots of dragonflies. It’s time for the deerflies, too! Lightning bugs take me back a few years when we kids would catch them and put them in a fruit jar to watch, also turn them loose on our screened-in porch where we slept. Tuesday, Gloria Frey rode along with her sister, Joan Paulson, and her adopted son Lincoln, to Marshfield for his clinic appointment there. Report very foggy out that way. Gloria and Anton Frey had Wendy Dernovski and granddaughter Nell and her two children over for dinner on Tuesday. Pete Frey, Ben and Emma came and spent the afternoon with them.

Gloria Frey’s mom, Dorothy Foltz, Rice Lake, visited with folks on Saturday at the Haugen Museum. She turned 100 a couple of months ago and is very sharp and had lived around Haugen all her life. Friday, Gloria Frey and her daughter, Jan, met Catherine Frey and her three daughters, Marie, Rose and Carol and Aunt Irene Glessing at Becky’s for a get-together. Les and Sandi Vogt enjoyed last weekend on a salmon-fishing trip to Algoma and caught one 16pound salmon and three nice rainbow trout. It was a bit early, the report is the salmon run is running two weeks late. It was fun and kind of stormy on Lake Michigan that day said Sandi. Dick and Marie King’s grandson JC, from Spring Lake Park, is visiting them. Also Jim and Nancy Swanson’s grandson Justin from the Twin Cities is spending some time with them. Folks on Big Ripley are reporting lots of deer around, one doe with twins and another with triplet fawns. Fun to watch but they are eating hostas and gardens. Thursday, my brother, Don Shoquist, sisters Sharon Wilber and Nell Lee and myself, also grandson Casey, went to Inver Grove Heights, Minn., to sister Verna Clyde’s for noon lunch and a great visit and then attended a graduation open house for her grandson, Robert Burns, at his folks, Tim and Kelly’s. It was a nice get-together with us five siblings. Richard Olson and Karen Clyde from Mackey Valley also went down.

The morning of Friday, June 28, the weather had chilled down from what it had been for the last couple of days, but the sun will shine and warm things up again. The flowers and shrubs are looking good. I cannot believe we are in July. Margaret Jones has moved to Somerset to be near her daughter and grandchildren. We can’t blame her for that. She will be missed at Peggy’s where she worked and at Salem Lutheran where she worshipped. Good luck to you, Margaret. Last week, there was a retirement party for Pat Hubin and Linda King who both worked at Indianhead Medical Center. The party was held at Tracks in Spooner. Happy retirement girls! Mavis and Roger Flach are still busy attending games for grandchildren. Blake Flach had baseball games on Mondays and Thursdays and Maddy Flach plays softball. June 26 was National Beautician Day, so our own beautician here at Glenview, Janet Larsen, was treated to lunch with all of us. Glad to have you here Janet. We have a new tenant here, Victor Fak of Spooner. He moved in last week and we welcome him.

On Sunday evening, the Glenview bus found a number of tenants going to the Jo Henricksen concert at the United Methodist Church. The concert was well-attended and enjoyable.

Jean Odden, a tenant here at Glenview, is moving to Cumberland to the Regency to be closer to her church. Jean grew up in Cumberland and went to school there. We will miss you Jean, but we are happy for you. Good to see Donna Parker around and about. I had the opportunity to see her at the flapjack breakfast Friday morning.

Centenarian Dorothy Foltz honored by community

by Suzanne Johnson Register staff writer HAUGEN — Having turned 100 in March, Dorothy Foltz is the oldest living native of Haugen. She was recognized recently at the Haugen Area Historical Museum with an open house where she shared about her life and the early days of Haugen. Foltz was born in Rice Lake. Other than living in Chicago for a time, she has lived most of her life in Haugen. In more recent years she has taken residence at the Rice Lake Convalescent Center. After graduating the eighth grade from a Catholic school in Chicago, Foltz went directly to a business college where she earned a business certificate. Her dad decided to move back to Haugen and work for her uncle, Ernie Brunette, in the box factory in Rice Lake. As most small businesses did their own bookkeeping, it wasn’t easy for Foltz to find work in her field. In 1929, William and Dorothy Foltz were married. To this union four children

Dorothy Foltz celebrated her 100th birthday in March. She recently shared her life stories at the Haugen Area Historical Museum. — Photo by Jan Frey Johnston were born: JoAnne Paulson, Haugen; Bill Foltz, Haugen; Gloria Frey, Sarona; and

Elaine Rost, Centuria, who is deceased. Raising her family during the Depression, Foltz faced very hard times. William earned 50 cents per day working for a farmer. They lived at Red Cottage on Bear Lake. After William received his pay, Dorothy would walk to town where she would purchase lard, coffee and sugar, and sometimes a little surprise, with the 50 cents. There was a time when she was walking in to town along the road that was surrounded by woods when she had an encounter with a large snake. She recalls throwing a rock at it, making it slither into the woods. Sometimes it would be dark by the time she made it home from town. Although Foltz can’t recall the first time she saw an airplane she does remember her dad’s Model T. With a seat in front, there was a board in back for her and her brother to ride. There were no good roads to Rice Lake at that time and the hill was very steep in Haugen. Rather than drive forward up the hill, her “Pa” would back up the Haugen hill so that the gas would continue to run to the engine. Sometimes

they wouldn’t make it to the top of the hill and would coast back to the bottom to start over again. Foltz recalls being, “So afraid we would go into the creek.” As a member of Holy Trinity Church, Foltz loved to help with church dinners. She especially enjoyed making dumplings. She was a cook at the Haugen Public School and the Country Inn. She spent many years as the cook at Camp Philips Boy Scout Camp in Haugen and is still an honored guest when they have special events. Foltz’s biggest claim to fame is that she was the cook for entertainer Pat Boone when he would visit the area as he had interests on Red Cedar Lake. Foltz keeps herself busy and can be found in the activities room at the convalescent center each day. She still enjoys cooking. “She’s a great lady,” stated daughter Gloria.

Boat inspections and free towels over the July Fourth holiday by Lisa Burns, conservation coordinator Washburn County LWCD WASHBURN COUNTY — A record 52 counties will have volunteers and staff at boat landings over the July Fourth holiday to provide boat inspections and hand out free aquatic invasive species towels to help educate boaters and other water enthusiasts on how to stop the spread of aquatic invasive species. The holiday landing blitz, Thursday-Sunday, July 4-7, will cover more than 250 popular waters statewide, up from 200 the year before. Volunteers and staff will be at boat landings over the July Fourth holiday, reminding boaters about steps to prevent spreading aquatic invasive species and handing out a limited supply of towels. Washburn County Lakes involved include Potato, Long Lake, Stone, Shell, Red Cedar, Balsam, Birch, Spider, Bear, Gilmore, Pokegema, Kimball, Big Bass, Nancy and Island. All of the lakes are represented by a county lake association or district. “It’s great to see the outpouring of enthusiasm people have for keeping their waters clean,” Mike Putnam says. “The prevention message will be getting out in

Volunteers and staff at boat landings over the July Fourth holiday will provide boat inspections and hand out free towels to help educate boaters and other water enthusiasts on how to stop the spread of aquatic invasive species. The holiday Landing Blitz runs Thursday-Sunday, July 4-7. — Photo submitted all corners of the state says Putnam, the Department of Natural Resources aquatic invasive species staffer coordinating the event. “Summer on the lake, hunting waterfowl in wetlands and canoeing down rivers are experiences Wisconsinites want to keep for the next generation.” The Clean Boats, Clean Waters program operates throughout the boating season,

but the Landing Blitz is a concentrated effort during the busiest boating weekend to educate boaters on what they can do, and what they’re required by law to do, to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species like Eurasian water milfoil and zebra mussels, Putnam says. Boaters, anglers and others enjoying Wisconsin waters are required to:

• Inspect boats, trailers and equipment. • Remove all attached aquatic plants and animals. • Drain all water from live wells and bilges. • Never move plants or live fish away from a water body; ice your catch. Leftover bait may be taken away in up to 2 gallons of water and used again on the same water body or on another if no fish or water has been added to their container. “Boaters found practicing the prevention steps may be rewarded with a complimentary towel that DNR is providing Landing Blitz partners,” Putnam says. “It’s our way of saying thanks and keep up the good work to keep Wisconsin lakes, rivers and fish healthy.” Staff and volunteers hail from more than 150 participating groups, including towns, villages, counties, a regional planning commission and tribal governments. Strong support comes from numerous lake associations, lake districts and sanitary districts on specific lakes or chains of lakes, Putnam says. For more information or to get involved next year, contact Lisa Burns at 715-4684654.

The shop has always been generous with their space and advertising dollars when it came to hosting book signings by individual authors.

Tables will be set up outside, and each author will be available for signing and conversation. The event will run from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., and the books range from Christian romance to memoirs and historical fiction and adventure, along with poetry and regional history.
