Benefit set for Jerry Brown

by Dave Zeug Special to the Register SHELL LAKE — Two months have passed since rural Shell Lake resident Jerry Brown suffered significant injuries, including the loss of an eye, as a result of a bear attack at his residence. Now his friends are having a benefit to help pay some of the bills that accumulated in the days after the attack.

On Thursday, Sept. 5, from 4-7 p.m., there will be a spaghetti dinner open to the public at the Shell Lake High School where Brown is employed. All proceeds from the event will go toward paying bills related to the bear attack.

In addition to the spaghetti dinner, there will be a Chinese auction on a variety of items and a bake sale also. Anyone willing to donate an item for either the bake sale or the auction can contact Val Haack at 715-4682006.

The Sept. 5 event is scheduled around the girls volleyball game against Turtle Lake. The JV game starts at 6 p.m., and the varsity game begins at 7:30 p.m., so please consider coming to the spaghetti dinner to support Brown and stay to watch the Lady Lakers volleyball teams take on Turtle Lake.

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER - DNR representatives appeared in Spooner on Thursday, Aug. 15, for a public hearing on proposed amendments regarding shoreland zoning in NR 115, or Wisconsin’s Water Resources Act. “When the rule went into effect in 2010, counties had a number of concerns about administration and implementation of the current standards,” explained Heidi Kennedy, water regulations and zoning specialist with the DNR. The proposed changes are an effort by the DNR to clarify and reduce the administrative burden produced from the current rule. The proposed changes will affect four different sections of NR 115. The impervious surface limits, the nonconforming structures standards, the vegetative management standards and reporting standards all have proposed changes.

“In the end, shoreland zoning is a partnership ... between the state, DNR, the county, local

government and private property owners, to set the minimum standards for development near valuable waterways,” stated Kennedy. Opposition to the rule changes permeated the testimonials of individuals that offered their comments to the DNR. The unknown long-term effects of increasing the allowance for impervious surface standards received the most criticism. “We are simply giving approval to destroy the lakes and the environment in our area,” stated Carol Breck of Barnes. Robert Drayer of Bayfield County pointed out that highly developed lakes such as those in the southern portion of the state would not be negatively impacted by the changes compared to the lakes in northern Wisconsin “What would be OK on Winnebago would destroy the Great Divide lakes,” stated Drayer.

The DNR defines impervious surfaces as driveways, rooftops, patios and other hard surfaces. The more impervious surfaces on a prop-

Alternative solution for growing problem

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY - The Humane Society of the United States estimates that animal shelters across the nation care for 6 million to 8 million dogs and cats every year. In the 1970s shelters euthanized 12 million to 20 million dogs and cats nationally. Today that number is estimated to be 2.7 million, a testament to the work done by animal advocates.

However, some are not satisfied.

“We as the Shelter Community Action Team want to put together a program of advocacy groups that can fill in the spaces that our shelters are not covering,” explained Tanya Borg of Centuria, project supervisor. SCAT recognizes how overwhelmed local shelters are, especially with cats. According to HSUS, nearly 100 percent of feral cats that are brought to shelters are euthanized.

“The Shelter Community Action Team is an umbrella organization that is going to have ad-

vocacy to groups like Farm, Feral and Stray to help do programs like trap, neuter, release,” stated Borg. According to HSUS, TNR involves the humane trapping of farm, feral and stray cats, their sterilization and vaccination and returning of feral cats to the same location where they were trapped. Kittens and friendly adult cats are removed for possible placement in homes, and those cats whose suffering cannot be helped would be euthanized.

“For a TNR program to be successful, cooperation among many members of the community is essential,” states HSUS. Penny Dunn, shelter manager of the Washburn County Area Humane Society, said she does not agree with TNR. Dunn cites the release of feral cats back into the wild as inhumane and irresponsible. “How do you care for them, how do you keep them warm?” questioned Dunn. “Sometimes we do make decisions, not

Aquatic plant survey completed

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Steve Schieffer of Ecological Integrity Service conducted an aquatic plant survey of Shell Lake last week. Schieffer, with the help of his son Sam, completed the survey of Shell Lake’s aquatic plants on Friday, Aug. 16.

The survey was done, “to determine the condition of the aquatic plants in the lake, and to see if there are any invasive aquatic plants in the lake,” explained Dave Vold, lake coordinator. The survey was also a condition of the permit for installment of the diversion project. The first survey was conducted in 2006, and the data from that report will be compared to this year’s

survey.

Guided by GPS points, Schieffer visited strategic locations on the lake and Sam used a rake to bring the plants to Schieffer, who then identified them.

“We will take a look at his report, and if there are any problem plants like invasives that we have to deal with, we will have to development some type of management plan to deal with those,” stated Vold.

Town and Country Days set for this weekend

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - This year’s Town and Country Days is shaping up to be another fun-filled Labor Day weekend. Events ranging from the kiddie tractor pull to a chocolate fest at the Washburn County Historical Society provide entertainment

opportunities for everyone.

Families can expect a great time if they attend the Family Fun Night on Friday, Aug. 30, from 5 until 7 p.m.

“I have kind of changed it this year to be more educational and informational,” stated Adam Lundberg, Family Fun Night chairperson. Free hot dogs, drinks

and games will still be available. Lundberg expects Smokey Bear to be present along with Eddie the Eagle of the GunSafe Program. “It is a night for the kids and families,” he said. Donations from local businesses like the Shell Lake Library, Shell Lake State Bank and McDonald’s will fill the night. Alternatively, if

you are more into big trucks and tractors, the truck pull, taking place at 7 p.m. on Friday night, is probably more to your taste.

“This is our third-annual truck pull, but it is our first evening truck pull,”

Redaction still in effect in Washburn County

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer WASHBURN COUNTY - “The days of all accidents and of those involved, as well as other information obtained by and disseminated in local media, is changing significantly,” wrote Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden in a news release addressing the department’s new redaction policy on accident reports. Due to the implementation of the new policy, the Wednesday, May 15, edition of the Washburn County Register was the last paper to be printed with a sheriff’s report.

Proponents say departments are just trying to be cautious, avoiding fines and potential lawsuits. Opponents to redaction policies say the court ruling has been misinterpreted and violates Wisconsin’s Open Records Laws.

Washburn County is one of 56 municipalities around the state to implement the redaction policy, in accordance with an interpretation of a U.S. Court of Appeals Seventh Circuit court ruling. Statewide

municipalities were advised that not instituting a policy to protect the identity of individuals in the reports could lead to “significant civil and criminal penalties that expose law enforcement agencies to liability if we fail to follow the federal circuit court of appeals decision.”

According to the ruling the city of Palatine, Ill., now faces up to $80 million in fines, $2,500 for each citation issued over a four-year statute of limitations.

A separate lawsuit against the city of New Richmond, filed by the New Richmond News, is currently awaiting action before the federal court. That case alleges the city’s police department is unreasonably restricting access to timely information on accident and incident reports, on the basis of an alleged misinterpretation of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling. Even Attorney General Van Hollen awaits the decision of the court to offer an opinion on the issue.

According to Dryden, the current redaction policy will stay in place for the

foreseeable future. “In lieu of some sort of federal court ruling overturning the current decision by the court of appeals, or some other ruling, we will continue our current practice,” wrote Dryden in an email.

In order to offset the additional cost of redacting, the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department now charges everyone $6 per report. “Given the nature of the federal law, we must examine each page of each report and redact 10 different data elements wherever they are found. This is a laborious and time-consuming process that must be handled in addition to our regular public service/public safety duties,” stated Dryden.

The additional work is costing everyone, and for individuals who need accident reports in full, only official requests for the documents received on authentic business letterhead, from insurance companies or lawyers, will receive complete reports.

Clarification on ATV campground funding

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - “The ORV avenue is still there, it did not go away, and the campground is still going ahead as planned,” stated Andy Eiche; city council president.

According to Eiche, the Wisconsin Off Road Vehicle Advisory Council allocates money the state receives from licensing and fines given to ATV and snowmobile riders to programs that rehabilitate existing trails, build new ones and build ATV campgrounds.

“This project is built on funds that are not taxpayer dollars,” stated Eiche.

Last year, Shell Lake was awarded $40,000 from the ORV fund to purchase the land for the campground.

“Them giving us that $40,000 shows that the ORV committee is committed to making our campground a reality,” explained Eiche. The ORV committee is very committed to seeing each camp-

ground project they initiate meet completion, and awarded Shell Lake another $30,000 for the project in December.

Recently, state administrators have determined to hold ORV grant funding for a year. “The administrators basically say we should have these monies in hand before we literally allocate them,” explained Eiche.

The majority action by city council members to not apply for stewardship grant funding was based on the knowledge that the ORV grant funding will be available next year for Shell Lake. “It is still alive and well, we just did not want to burden the city of Shell Lake taxpayer with 20 percent of the bill,” stated Eiche.

The stewardship grant funding that city council members addressed at last week’s city council meeting consists of 80-percent funding by the state and 20-percent funding by the city.

Town and Country Days/from page 2 said Aaron Nielsen. Thanks to the installation of new lights down at the Tiptown track, the truck pull can take place into the night. At only $5 to get in for kids age 12 and up with free admission for younger kids, it is a reasonable way to spend a fun night. “Instead of just having trucks, we will also be having what they call smoker tractors, they are real hot rod pulling tractors,” stated Nielsen. Food and drinks will be available throughout the night, “and it should be a real good show this year,” he added.

Saturday is packed with activities and events taking place all day, culminating in the street dance at 8 p.m. with music

by Those Guys. At 11 a.m. on Saturday be sure to catch the garden tractor pull, which is free. “It is basically lawn mowers that are souped-up with fancy tires and loud exhaust,” said Nielsen. The garden tractor pull is just like a regular tractor pull, except they pull smaller loads than the regular-sized tractors.

The car show will take place on Sunday with cars setting up at noon on Main Street after the grand parade. “It is nice to see the car show on Main Street because of the historical side of Main Street … it is just the perfect spot to have it,” said Lundberg.

Fire destroys Ullom barn

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Fire Department responded to a barn fire in the Town of Barronett on Thursday, Aug. 15. Around 10:50 p.m., firefighters were paged to a fire at Highway View Farms owned by Mark and Judy Ullom.

Vanessa Miller, who was passing by and noticed smoke and flames coming from the barn, awakened the Ulloms. The Ulloms, with the help of Miller, began removing 90 cows out of the barn to safety.

Upon arrival of the firefighters, the barn was heavily involved in fire with some of the cattle still inside. Firefighters initiated a defensive attack on the barn to protect adjoining structures and also assisted the property owner in evacuating approxi-

mately 20 head of cattle that were still in the barn. An excavator was called to aid in the suppression effort by moving areas of debris that were piled up after the roof collapsed. According to Shell Lake Fire Chief Keith Dahlstrom, mutual aid fire departments from Cumberland and Spooner were used on the fire for approximately four hours, providing tankers and manpower. Shell Lake firefighters remained on the scene until 8:15 a.m. Friday putting out the last hot spots.

While the barn was totally destroyed, the fire departments were able to save the attached milk house and loafing shed.

There were no firefighter injuries.

At this time, the Ulloms plan to rebuild a new barn. — with information from Shell Lake Fire Department

Options for fifth-graders Track and cross country

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - School board members heard several updates from administration and discussed the merits of offering track and cross-country to fifth-grade students at the monthly board of education meeting on Monday, Aug. 19.

“I do not believe there would be any increases in the number of coaches that are required and no real increases in costs other than uniforms,” said Jim Connell, school superintendent. According to

Connell, fifth-grade students have participated in wrestling for some time. In order to eliminate very late nights, the younger students would only attend the closest away meets. The board approved the option for fifth-graders citing the activity would provide more benefits for the students above other concerns.

“Our numbers are a little high in 4K,” reported Laura Stunkel, elementary school principal. According to Stunkel, the best ratio is 10 students to 1 teacher.

“We like to keep the ratio to ten students

According to Kennedy, counties can generally be more restrictive than NR 115, except in regulating nonconforming structures and substandard lots. “There are many areas that the county will have to fill in the blanks to further define and clarify certain provisions in NR 115,” explained Kennedy in an email.

Kids are getting ready for school dents develop technology skills that will prepare them to communicate effectively in this rapidly changing world. These are only a few of the important lessons that our children learn in the public schools.

Testing is an important part of the school curriculum, but many important skills do not show up on tests. We can be proud of our public schools and of all the staff members who teach and care for our youth.

You might want to stop in and say, “thank you.” Sometimes we forget to do that.

Shirley Hile Shell Lake

An ounce of prevention I’ve spent some time these last few months visiting Northwestern Wisconsin companion animal humane societies. I’ve observed some fatal flaws in their philosophy. So much time, money and effort to rescue and not enough resources spent on proactive programs. Programs like free spay/neuter of cats, especially farm cats, shutting down puppy mills and humane education. Programs that would reduce the largest numbers of animals requiring assistance are nonexistent. These very programs would increase the resources to save lives.

A common thread I hear throughout my conversations with open admission kill shelters is “these animals are better dead than in peril.” There is a perverted dogma that companion animals in our country, especially free-roaming community cats, are in such desperate straits living outdoors that they are better off dead than living in a world full of risks.

If our humane societies truly believe what they say, that “spay and neuter is the proven leader in practices that successfully reduce the numbers of companion animals entering our shelters and suffering terrible fates on the streets,” then they should make their spay/neuter programs available to every companion animal.

According to their spay/neuter voucher guidelines only people on financial assistance are eligible. Only indoor cats are eligible. And only one to three pets per family are eligible. Restrictions like these are barriers to achieving a goal of ending the killing of healthy treatable pets in our shelter. These restrictions leave huge numbers of animals ineligible for spay/

neuter services from our humane society—farm and feral cats to name a few. It is farm and feral cats that are producing the flood of kittens every year. And it is the puppy mills The Humane Society of the United States and PetSmart Charities recommends offering free spay/neuter including vaccines and medicines, for citizens needing help with intact companion animals. Extensive research by these organizations has shown most people care about their pets and value the opportunity to care for them with help from the community. Why should marginal citizens be denied the benefits of having a pet? Multiple studies have proven that having a pet improves the health of a person. Consider the cost savings in human health care by providing free spay/neuter services to all companion animals.

It’s time to stop repeating the programs that are not working and institute a program that is proven. The Shelter Community Action Team advocates this strategy.

Under the Farm, Feral & Stray program, there is no limit on how many cats can be spayed/neutered and vaccinated with their help. There are no income requirements. Outdoor cats are the target animals for this program because they are the primary cause of the last companion animal overpopulation issue left in America today, free roaming cats. We must include them in a plan to become a no-kill community.

wcregisteronline.com SCAT/from page 4 that we want to, but sometimes there are not really that many other choices,” she stated.

SCAT, headed by Borg, initially wants to focus on open access, low-cost spay and neuter services before they implement a TNR program. The WCAHS does offer a spay and neuter program based on lowincome eligibility called SNAP. “We are trying to find a way to get more support from the clinics to get a cheaper price for spays and neuters so they get done,” stated Dunn.

Borg, with members of SCAT, have developed a detailed three-year plan to implement their low-cost spay and neuter proposal, starting with education and a goal of spaying and neutering 200 household, farm, feral and stray cats. The plan involves their “get behind the community wheel” effort that needs a veterinarian to perform the spaying and neutering with community businesses and citizens donating money. Once the pool reaches the agreed-upon amount between the participating veterinarian and SCAT, a number of cats could be spayed and neutered.

“Once we get, say $450, we can get five cats spayed or neutered,” said Borg.

In an attempt to combine forces with WCAHS, Borg attended one of the board meetings, but she feels SCAT may be on its own.

On Wednesday, Aug. 14, people from all over the 7th Congressional District of Wisconsin, including Ashland, Bayfield, Wausau, Spooner, Ladysmith, Hayward, Minocqua, Rhinelander and Rice Lake, gathered together in Hayward hoping to start a conversation about wealth disparity, comprehensive immigration reform and climate change with Speaker of the House John Boehner.

The highest ranking Republican in the House was the featured guest for a cocktail reception and fundraiser at a lakeside home in the area. The speaker has been under increasing pressure to vote alongside of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan on passing comprehensive immigration reform, but took time out of his August recess schedule to fundraise for Rep. Sean Duffy. The Wisconsin chapter lead of the 7th CD for Organizing for Action, Jessica Ann Levandowski, said that in a time when Americans and dreamers alike are living paycheck-to-paycheck and having to choose between paying for food and medicine, events like these showcase the growing wealth disparity gap in our country. Duffy supporters paid $250-$5,200 to attend, and a photo opportunity was also available for a $1,000 donation to Duffy’s campaign. — Photo submitted

Volunteer training for Regional Hospice services being offered

SIREN — Volunteers are needed for all of Burnett and Washburn counties and the northern half of Polk County. The needs are easy for a volunteer, but priceless to a family in crisis. It might just be to run an errand, spend time with their loved one by playing cards, reading to them, listening to their life story, or just holding their hand.

Volunteers are workers, homemakers or retired folks. They are men and women of various ages with one thing in common — they care.

If you are interested in becoming a vol-

unteer for Regional Hospice there will be a training session starting on Monday Sept. 9, 6 p.m., at Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Chapel on Hwy. 35 in Siren. The training will be one day a week for six weeks and will cover such topics as philosophy of hospice, admission criteria, hospice medical issues, psychological and social concerns, listening and communication skills, and bereavement and spiritual care.

More information is available by calling the hospice office at 715-635-9077.

Shell Lake Schools awarded half million CLC grant

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Shell Lake School District will receive $100,000 for the next five consecutive years starting in September as one of nine first-time recipients for the federal 21st Century Learning Center grant.

According to the Department of Public Instruction the grants were awarded to CLC proposals that will serve schools with 40 percent or more of students living in poverty, as measured by federal school meal income eligibility, and that serve schools with a high percentage of students who struggle academically.

“The grant will provide money for after school and maybe before school academic support for students in grades 5 through 10 primarily,” explained Jim Connell school superintendent. The school currently receives some federal money for primary age students and after school planning, but Connell says the new money will fit nicely with current programming.

Keri Jensen community education coordinator, and Kris Brunberg the districts after school coordinator, and Connell wrote the grant application. “We really wrote it with a unique partnership with the Quam Theatre and Arts Center, as they will be helping organize and deliver the after school programming,” stated Connell.

“There has never been a greater need for residents of northern Wisconsin to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s dis-

ease by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” said Joan Litwitz, program director for the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Wisconsin Chapter. “Funds raised will provide care and support services to hundreds of residents in the area who are living with Alzheimer’s today.

Options/from page 3 to one adult, we have a full time aid in there so we would like to keep it at 20,” she said. “I am going to reach out to a few other small school districts in the area and … find out what their policy is,” she said.

The school library got an upgrade with standing workstations, “we are hoping it becomes a friendlier environment for the high school kids,” said Connell. He also reported that the roof project is ahead of schedule and that the energy project is only awaiting a cosmetic fix for full completion.

A meeting with parents concerned on the condition of the Tiptown field will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 28.

“There are some city council parks and recreation people involved, and there are some parents involved … we are just going to sit down and talk about some options,” said Connell.

Connell brought to the board’s attention the possibility of requiring uniforms for staff. The idea would be discussed with faculty at the fall inservice day next week, “either it would be board supported entirely, financially, or it would be significantly discounted,” stated Connell.

You’ve probably noticed the days are getting shorter, but a Shell Lake summer isn’t over until after Labor Day and the traditional Town and Country Days celebration.

Your Shell Lake Lions Club hopes you’ll help kick off this festive weekend by attending their third-annual Lake Superior Whitefish Fry on Friday, Aug. 30, at the community center.

Through a commercial fishing contact on the shores of Lake Superior, the Lions Club is able to serve fresh – these fish were swimming the day before – whitefish and boiled potatoes with all the trimmings including dessert in an allyou-care-to eat fish fry event from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Because of the positive response from the first two years of the event, this year the club will have more cooks and equipment than last year, which will ensure fresh, hot, deep-fried whitefish will be brought to diners at a faster pace. Club members are also going to skin the fillets before cooking this year for easier dining.

If they’re interested, people will also be able to purchase tickets for a unique gun raffle at the Shell Lake State Bank or at Shell Lake Marine. The drawing for the various guns will be about 7:30 p.m., after the fish fry is over.

••• The Lions are also sponsoring another health fair on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 to noon at the Shell Lake School cafeteria.

Many of the same offerings will be available as last year such as flu shots, glucose testing and other health-related booths

Train ride

ubby Milt and I recently took a train ride along with my sister, Konnie, and her husband, Bill, and my parents. Taking a train ride can provide a relaxing day. We rode in cars pulled by a steam engine built in 1923. About 5 tons of coal fueled the locomotive as we traveled along the shore of Lake Superior on the NorthShore Scenic Railroad.

When first planning the trip to Duluth to travel by the historic steam train to Two Harbors, Minn., and back, my thoughts went back to the old TV show “Petticoat Junction.” The show aired on CBS from September 1963-April 1970. The focus of the show was the Hooterville Cannonball, a steam-driven train, and the Shady Rest Hotel. The opening title of the series featured a display of petticoats hanging on the side of the railway’s water tower, supposedly belonging to the Bradley sisters, Betty Jo, Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo. With all the other TV shows from years past that are in syndication, I haven’t seen the show that featured, “Uncle Joe moving kind of slow at the Junction, Petticoat Junction.” We have shows like “I Love Lucy.” According to Parade Magazine, “I Love Lucy” was the first

show to air reruns. It was in 1952 that CBS aired episodes from season one due to Lucille Ball’s pregnancy. The star needed to take time off during the second season of the show. Longer than any other, this Emmy-winning show has been on the air continuously since 1951.

There was a bit of a delay during our train ride over the weekend. With computers in Chicago controlling the switches, we had to wait until another train finished using the tracks we were scheduled to travel on. A further delay came as we were waiting for another train to couple up with us before arriving in Two Harbors. This allowed the longer train to enter on the track and get by with only one permit. Discussing the steam engine, there was speculation that this year may be the last that the No. 2719 engine would be in service without major work since it didn’t do well on its latest boiler inspection.

Although the ride seemed long for families with young

Blood drive to be held in Spooner

by Dawn Olson, Blood drive coordinator SPOONER — The American Red Cross reports that historically, during the summer months of June, July and August, about two fewer donors give blood at each blood drive than what patients need.

Blood is especially needed during the Labor Day weekend when donations tend to drop even more. The Red Cross encourages donors to give blood each time they are eligible; every 56 days for whole blood donations and 112 days for double cell red blood donations. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients, and type O blood is especially needed.

The Spooner Area Blood Drive will be

You’re gonna love this ReStore place

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — In 1976, Millard and Linda Fuller began an outreach organization that would grow and grow and eventually be called Habitat for Humanity International. The concept was born at Koinonia Farm outside Americus, Ga. Koinonia is a Greek word meaning society. The farm had been founded in 1942 by farmer and Biblical scholar Clarence Jordan. When the Fullers first visited Koinonia in 1965, they had just left a successful business and affluent lifestyle in Montgomery, Ala., in order to begin a new life of Christian service.

Jordan and Fuller developed the concept of partnership housing centered on those in need of adequate shelter and the idea of working side by side with volunteers to build simple, decent houses. The funding for the new organization would come from the new homeowners house payments, so it was decided they would call it The Fund for Humanity.

Ambitious and anxious to succeed, in 1968 Koinonia laid out 42 half-acre house sites with four acres reserved as a community park and recreational area. You might say they built an entire suburb. Capital was donated from around the country to start the work and homes were built and sold to families in need at no profit and no interest. The basic model of Habitat for Humanity was begun. In 1984, former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, nearby Georgia residents, took their first Habitat work trip in New York City. Because of their personal involvement, the organization gained national visibility and sparked interest in Habitat’s work across the nation. Since then, the work of Habitat has created thousands of homes for low-income families. Today they have built or repaired more than 600,000 houses and served more than 3 million people around the world.

Habitat for Humanity has made an appearance in Washburn County with a house in Shell Lake, another in Birchwood, and one in Spooner. The concept isn’t new to the area, but the ReStore might be.

The new Spooner ReStore is the result of a merger between Wild River Habitat for Humanity and affiliates in Rusk and Washburn counties in order to provide funding for the Habitat program.

Paul Nedland, Spooner store manager, says that their store will take, “Every-

ready taking donations every Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Hopefully by the grand opening they will have their dumpsters in place for their recycle service, giving you a place to drop off those nonplasma TVs, computers and air conditioners. They will carry a charge of $10 each to recycle, but computer towers are free to drop. They’re also looking for any metal objects, farm fencing except for barbed wire, and even clean feeders for chickens and the like.

Here’s another great service the store will provide, the pickup of materials.

If you have no way to get your items to the shop, they’ll come and pick them up.

They’re also interested in complete estates because every penny that comes in goes back out to Habitat and their projects. Bring in as much as you have because they need to fill the 10,000 square feet in the main store and an additional 4,000-square-foot area on the side of the building.

Naturally, to make the maximum amount of money all the ReStores operate on a mostly volunteer basis, with few people on salary. Manager Nedland says he’ll be happy to work with anyone when it comes to his or her hours. “Even if someone can just give an hour a day, it will help. There are jobs that require heavy lifting up to 100 pounds and others that involve sorting and shelving the small items. Right now we need the most help immediately to set up the store. Volunteers need to be at least 18 and when we get truly up and running, we hope the store can support some paid staff including an assistant manager and office staff.”

Anyone can also pick up an application for a Habitat home or a refurbish of his or her current residence. After a review by the Habitat board, those who meet the requirements for a home need to save for the closing costs which run between $500 and $1,500. They also need to save up for a modest down payment and Habitat arranges financing for the recipients house payments. Several houses are already on the docket for this year and for more information about Habitat for Humanity or the ReStore, there are three numbers you can call, 715-635-4771, 715-635-4774 or the business cell number, 715-520-8200.

The ReStore’s grand opening will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, with the ribbon cutting at 9 a.m. and a free lunch will be served between 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Some of our mornings have been downright chilly. It’s been nice sleeping weather though, makes one get that fall feeling. Yes, summer vacations will soon be over.

We sure could use some rain. The crops, lawns and trees are really getting stressed. Farmers were busy putting up hay this past week and the ones with pivots had the water on. Too bad the heavy rains in the Southwest couldn’t come this way.

It’s sweet corn time and that first taste of fresh corn on the cob is always the best. August always boasts a variety of fresh veggies and fruits, either from one’s garden, roadside stand or farmers market, so that makes cooking easy.

Mavis (Huerth) Schlapper and Joyce (Huerth) Schlapper attended the Shell Lake Class of 1948 65th class reunion held at Lakeview in Shell Lake on Wednesday afternoon. Report around 20 classmates out of 38 attended. They had a nice day together.

From Sarona way, Marie (Powers) King and husband Dick attended the class reunion of Spooner classes of 1956, 1957 and 1958 that was held at Bob and Judy Gillette’s home in Stone Lake. A pig roast was held Wednesday. I had a phone visit with my sister, Nell Lee, Class of ’57. She reported it was so nice, great weather, well-planned and organized, great food, a band and just awesome, a fun day of reminiscing with around 100 attending.

The Oak Lakers gathered at the home of Sharon Cooper on Wednesday, Aug. 14, for a neighborhood brunch.

Attending were Linnea Olesen, Jill Rivard, Judy Deber, Darrel and Jan Walker, Bob and Joyce Kibler, Steve Gilhouse, Marion and Kenny Reiter and John and Rochelle S.

Did you hear about the terrible fire at the Mark and Judy Ullom farm on Thursday evening, Aug. 15? At about 10:45 p.m., Vanessa Miller, a young lady from Minnesota, was driving south on Hwy. 63, heading home. As she got past the Brick Yard Road, she could see that Mark and Judy’s barn was on fire. She pulled into their driveway and laid on the horn. Mark, who was already in bed and sleeping, came out of the house to see what in the world was going on. After she told him the barn was burning, she stayed to help get cows out.

When they got to the barn, Mark turned on the lights and he said that, at first, everything looked normal.

Then they looked to the side barn and saw that the lights weren’t on and they could see embers in the ceiling. One cow was standing directly beneath where the fire had gotten a good start, and even though she had backed out of her stall as far as the chain would let her, embers and ashes were falling on her shoulder. Well, you can imagine that the poor thing was terrified and had her chain pulled as far and as tight as an animal that big could get it. Mark was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to get her out, but his son, Brian, who is a big, strong young man, grabbed her collar, pulled her forward enough to loosen the chain, and got her out of there.

Mark, Brian, Judy and Vanessa kept freeing the cows and chasing them out of the barn, even though they could hear the timbers crackling with fire, until they couldn’t see any more because of the smoke. There were still about 20 or 25 cows in the barn and Mark didn’t think they would be able to save them. However, Chief Keith Dahlstrom of the Shell Lake Fire Department and his crew of firefighters arrived and had masks and were able to go in and release the rest of the cows. Not one cow or calf died in that fire. And, not one person was hurt. It was a miracle.

Randy Bertleson had moved his cows out of Suzy and Ryan Lehmann’s barn about three weeks ago, and their barn was all set up for milking and was standing empty.

So, Duane called Ryan, who was in California at the time, and told him about the fire. Ryan immediately told Duane to let Mark know that if he didn’t already have a place to take his cows that he should take them to the Lehmann farm. Duane drove to the Ullom farm and tried to get in to let Mark know that he could use Ryan’s barn.

One of the policemen who were directing traffic wasn’t too keen on the idea of Duane going in there, but Duane persisted and the officer finally gave up and accompanied him in to talk to Mark.

Can you imagine the chaos going on? Cows are bellowing and milling about, firemen, hoses and trucks all around, red and blue lights flashing. During a catastrophe like that it seems as though nothing will ever be normal again. Well, let me tell you, by Friday morning at about 6 a.m., some of Mark and Judy’s cows were already in the Lehmann barn, standing calmly in the stalls, and Judy, Brenda and Holly were milking them. It took a few hours to get all the cows trucked over, but they are all there and seemed to feel right at home by that evening. I’m not sure how long they will be there because I have no idea how long it will take Mark and Judy to have someone clean out the old barn and build a new one, but I do know they are welcome there for as long as it takes.

Oh, the cow who had cinders and ashes dropping on her shoulder has some burns, but Mark and Judy are

Scout award at a beautiful ceremony in his honor Saturday evening.

Saturday, Elaine Ryan and Rocky Furchtenicht attended a reception in Holcombe for her niece, Teela Fields, who married David Hill. Teela is Elaine’s late sister Linda’s oldest daughter.

Sunday night, Elaine and Rocky had her kids over for supper to celebrate the July birthdays. Attending were Nicki and Shane Baker and boys from Rice Lake, Danielle Ryan and Nathan Ryan, from Shell Lake. Belated wishes to them.

Friday evening I joined daughter Mary Marschall’s family out to eat celebrating Sara and Kyle Mathison’s first wedding anniversary, Kyle’s 24th birthday Ashley Anderson’s 22nd, and Brian Marschall’s 20th birthdays.

We went to Hilltop in Timberland.

Grandson Brady Marschall was working last Wednesday on Lake Road, Shell Lake, and had his lunchbox with his wallet in that evidently fell out of the work truck.

When they got to the next job site he searched for it but to no avail. He went back to look for it and found it along the road with all the contents in it but no billfold. That evening he got a phone call. Jim Crowell had found it and gave it back all intact. Brady was so grateful.

Birthday wishes this week go out to Tina Zaloudek and my aunt, Marcella Shoquist in the Hayward nursing home turns 99 on Aug. 22; Eric Konop, Aug. 23; Curt Johnson and Warren Greenhow, Aug. 24; Paige Coulter, Bailee Jean Hanson and Joshua Pederson, Aug. 25; Audrey Spexet, Peggy McKibben, Sue Hansen, Jean Ricci, Ashley Gagner and Adam Kemp, Aug. 26; Lynda Myer, Opal Hause and Brandon Degner, Aug. 27; Ann Johnson, Jerry Gronning and Jessie Baxter, Aug. 28. Have a fun one.

Anniversary wishes to Howard and Jean Furchtenicht, their 57th, Aug. 24; Lindsey and Kellen Nelson, Aug. 25; Rick and Carla Townsend, Aug. 27; Jack and Kathy Dahlstrom and David and Mary Halvorson, Aug. 28.

treating her with medicated salve and she was standing comfortably with the others in her new stall.

Mark and Judy are pretty much overwhelmed by the kindness everyone has shown them the past few days since the fire. They want everyone to know how much they appreciate everything. Mark said that they have had so many phone calls and people dropping by just to make sure that they are doing OK. He said that they came home one afternoon and found a bag of sweet corn that someone had dropped off for them on the porch.

Their daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and Travis Levine, came home and stayed for the entire weekend to help. Everyone who knows Mark and Judy are very thankful that they were able to save their cows without anyone being hurt. We will all be watching, and maybe helping, as their new barn goes up.

We had a perfect day for our outdoor worship service at Barronett Lutheran again on Sunday. It was sunny, but just cool enough to be comfortable. The food at the potluck dinner after the service was, as usual, delicious, and everyone had a good time visiting and enjoying the food. This might sound a little goofy, but I think cleaning up afterward with everyone helping is almost as much fun as having the dinner. We all get a chance to talk while we are scraping plates and washing dishes. Call me crazy, but I like it.

The Wiesner family and friends reunion, which was held at Wiesner Chapel on CTH V on Sunday, was a huge success too. There was lots of good food to eat and people to visit with. They held a silent auction, and I bought a mystery box that had two old bridles in it. I gave them to Miriah to hang in the stable. They had a live auction too, and there were quite a few beautiful handmade quilts, afghans and other crafty things on that. It was fun.

Well, it worked. Terry Goodrich got one of Roger Dutilly’s pies without having to write his own request. He had me do it for him. Roger brought Terry a double-crust rhubarb pie. Terry said that the crust was so thin and so delicious that he asked for, and got, the recipe from Roger. I can’t imagine Terry making his own pies, but who knows. The only request that Roger had was that Terry not ruin the pie by putting ice cream or whipped cream on it. Terry told him that he had absolutely no intention of doing that. Anyway, before Roger even got out of the driveway Terry was sampling that pie. And he wasn’t the only one. Terry had a guest there, and when he turned around he saw that his guest had taken a finger, wiped it around the outer edge of the pie tin, and was licking the finger off. Maybe that’s where the phrase “finger-licking good” comes from. Needless to say, both Terry and his guest thoroughly enjoyed the pie.

Terry said that Roger told him he has baked 63 pies so far this summer and that his goal is 75. He has to make eight more for a church, so that will bring his total up to 71. Sounds as if he won’t have any trouble meeting or passing his goal.

Terry said that he’s not going to mention any names, but the there is a lady in a local insurance office who would love to have one of Roger’s pies to take to her mother. Consider that a subtle hint, Roger.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. I hope your week is wonderful. See you next time.

On Monday, we woke up to overcast skies. I don’t think we are forecast to have rain, but if it comes, we will welcome it.

Last Sunday, we were very sorry to hear of the death of a beautiful lady, Londa (Bruce) Swan, 60, of Eau Claire.

She was married to David Swan, son of Ruth and Jim Swan. She had opened a day care in her home, which she had run for 30 years. I am sure her cherubs are devastated by her death. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to all of her family. Her funeral was at Hope Lutheran Church in Eau Claire.

Another piece of bad news also happened last week.

Mark and Judy Ullom of rural Barronett lost their barn to fire. A passerby came in to tell them and they were able to get all the cows out but one. They continue to milk cows at a neighbor’s farm. We are keeping them in our prayers.

One of our caregivers here at Glenview has left us to pursue her career in nursing, Nancy (Peterson) Forrestal who lives in Barronett. Good luck Nancy.

Wendell Lee Turpin, son Shawn, and a group of buddies from Whiting, Ind., spent last week at his new home here in Shell Lake. Thursday night they went for a hayride with Jeff Pederson as the driver. Saturday night he had a house warming with many relatives and friends joining him. Arlys Santiago and Peder Pederson attended from our area.

Peder Pederson, Curt and Martha and Daniel Pederson attended church in Trego and a picnic which followed.

Congratulations to Jasmine Dahlstrom, daughter of Jack and Kathy, who was married Friday night in the Twin Cities.

Friday night, Mary and John Marschall took Brian and Ashley, Sara and Kyle Mathison, Marian Furchtenicht and Brady to Hilltop Restaurant to celebrate birthdays and Kyle and Sara’s wedding anniversary.

Saturday found them at John’s mother’s farm in Amery to help her with her haying.

Saturday night John and Mary attended the yearly party that Swan Wennerberg puts on at his cabin.

Brent Pederson and his friend, Nicole Cummings, were invited to a Twins game on Sunday by Gina White who had won the suite with all the trimmings by entering a football youth drawing in Stillwater. She invited all her cousins on the Pederson side to come. There were about 15. The Twins didn’t win but they had a good time. Attendng where her brother, Jeremy, and Betsy, of Madison, Greta and Logan Zinsli, Megan and Dustin, Stephanie and Cory Cowell and Nick Pederson and a friend of his, all of Eau Claire, Aaron Pederson of New Ulm, and of course Gina White and her friend, Nick.

Millions who long for immortality do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Have a good week. The Minnesota State Fair starts Thursday.

A stranger walked into our recording studio and was impressed with all of the equipment that we use. He had difficulty believing everything that he saw. Turning to me he asked, “Where did you get the loot to buy all this?”

“From God,” I answered. “We ask him for what we need and he always provides it to us when we need it!”

We walked to my office and paused in front of our “prayer board” which contained pictures of the items we were praying for. Looking at a folding machine he asked, “Think you’ll get it?” I replied, “I know we will. God answers prayer!”

With an unbelieving smile he sat down across from me. The phone rang and a voice said, “I just heard your broadcast and it blessed my heart. I want to do something for you. What do you need?”

“A folding machine,” I answered. “Order it,” he said, “I’m sending the check right now.”

“Wow! I’ve just seen a live answer to prayer!”

Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”

Thomas J. Ullom Thomas J. Ullom III, 73, Spooner, died Friday, Aug. 16, 2013, at Indianhead Medical Center in Shell Lake.

4, 1981, to Deborah Quilieo. Tom was an avid lover of Western movies and NASCAR. He also enjoyed spending time with his family.

Tom is survived by his wife, Deborah, Spooner; sons, Tom Ullom, Wichita Falls, Texas, and Kurtis (Mary) Ullom, Wichita Falls, Texas; daughters Debbie (Ronnie) Minor, San Marcus, Texas, Connie Garcia, Iowa Park, Texas, and Julie McGuire, Iowa Park, Texas; stepson,

Adding acid to home-canned tomato products is essential SPOONER — Tomato plants are beginning to yield, and with the new crop comes a new activity, home canning. Whether you’re canning whole tomatoes, homemade ketchup, pasta sauce or anything in between, adding acid to canned tomato products is a must, according to University of Wisconsin – Extension’s, Deb Meyer.

“Tomatoes can be preserved by canning, drying, freezing or pickling,” says Meyer. “And when foods are homecanned, the safety depends primarily on the amount of acid in the product.” Though tomatoes are usually considered a high-acid food, food safety researchers now know that the pH (acid) levels of tomatoes and other fruits can vary greatly because of many factors, including climate, soil, cultivar variety and ripeness. Because of this variation in acid levels, the United States Department of Agriculture recommends adding acid to all home-canned tomato products.

Meyer warns that improperly canned foods are dangerous to consume. “Foods canned with too little acid may allow the bacteria that cause botulism to grow in the jars, producing a deadly neurotoxin,” Meyer says.

Adding acid to home-canned tomatoes is one way to help prevent botulism. “The rule is one-half teaspoon of citric acid or two tablespoons of bottled lemon juice for every quart of tomatoes,” Meyer says. “The acid can be mixed into the tomatoes or added to the jar directly before filling with product.”

Using vinegar is also an option — 5 percent acetic acid at four tablespoons per quart, but because vinegar will affect the flavor, it may not be the best choice for things like plain canned

Help kids discover that rivers are alive ST. CROIX FALLS — Are you passionate about the Namekagon and St. Croix rivers? Interested in sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with local students?

Join the National Park Service this fall and become a volunteer for the Rivers Are Alive program.

Each fall, hundreds of fourth-graders visit the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway for Rivers Are Alive field trips.

Students discover river life by going mucking with a dip net, learn what the creatures they capture reveal about water quality and discuss what they can do to protect the riverway.

“This program literally teaches kids to look beyond the surface. It sparks their imaginations about discovering hidden things, exploring new areas and topics, and seeing the world from a different perspective,” remarked Julie Galonska, manager of the riverway’s education programs.

The National Park Service is currently recruiting volunteers who will assist with the Rivers Are Alive programs. Volunteers will assist a National Park Ranger in providing a safe and educational experience for the students. Duties may include loading/unloading equipment, setting up equipment, mucking in the river, leading an activity, and/or presenting a program. Programs take place on weekdays between the hours of 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at a variety of river landings on the St. Croix and Namekagon.

For information about volunteer opportunities and to

get involved, please contact Jonathan Moore at jonathan_ moore@nps.gov or 715-491-6839.

Teachers interested in scheduling Rivers are Alive field trips should call Branda Thwaits at 715-635-8346, ext.

tomatoes or tomato juice. And be sure to use bottled lemon juice, not fresh squeezed, for the assurance that your homecanned tomatoes will be safe and tasty, Meyer says.

There are a few other important safety tips Meyer recommends keeping in mind when home-canning tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables. “When choosing tomatoes to can, do not use tomatoes that are overripe or have bruises, cracks or insect damage,” she says. It is also unsafe to add thickening agents like flour and starch to tomato products before canning. Meyer instead recommends thickening things like tomato sauce and soup immediately before serving.

Meyer also recommends using current, research-tested recipes for all home canning. “Just because a recipe is in print, doesn’t mean it’s safe for you and your family,” she says.

“Canning recommendations have changed dramatically over the last 15 years, so if you are using recipes that date before 1994, it’s a good idea to set those aside and find an up-to-date recipe that has been tested for safety.” It is also important to make sure all canning equipment, such as boiling water or pressure canners, are in good working order.

More information on adding acid to canned tomatoes is available at here: foodsafety.wisc.edu/assets/preservation/ UWEX_addacidtomatoes.pdf. Extension Publishing also has several publications on canning tomatoes and general canning safety available at learningstore.uwex.edu/.

SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Arts Center participates in the Special Milk Program through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The Special Milk Program provides milk to children in schools, child-care institutions and summer camps that do not participate in other federal child nutrition meal service programs. The program reimburses sponsors for the milk they serve.

Begun in 1955, the Special Milk Program is administered at the federal level by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through its Food and Consumer Service.

The Shell Lake Arts Center is a nonprofit summer camp for young musicians and artists. It serves over 560 campers each summer, three meals a day for eight weeks. This program helps with some of the expenses it takes to keep the camp running. This year marks its 46th camp season. — from SLAC

was busy playing Barbies.

Wednesday evening, brother Mitch Strege and nephew Josh Strege visited Jerry and Gretchen Best. Saturday evening Jerry and Gretchen were over to see Gretchen’s mom, Lillian Strege. Also there were Barb Johnson, Circle Pines, Minn., and Chad and Gwen and Annie Strege.

All enjoyed a good visit.

Table talk: Do you think we’re going to get some rain this week?

Saturday at the Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake a ceremony was held for David Granzin and Ericka Crosby.

A 2:30 p.m., when the ceremony was held, five bride’s attendants and five groomsmen walked down the aisle.

Later a reception was held in Siren with a wedding dance following. Ericka is the daughter of Darrel and Kim Crosby and the groom is the son of Bryan and Bonnie Granzin. May the young couple have a great life full of nothing but good.

This past week, a fellow came to my house to do work and talking with him, we talked about the schooling of his two daughters. He lives in Minnesota and his daughters go year-round to school with breaks in between. It was interesting and I didn’t know that year-round school was in effect at this time.

Carl and Betty Meister joined Joanne Schade and her daughter Rebecca at the Mike Schades’.

You know, 20 years ago, I don’t remember states having fires or flood or droughts, do you? Here in Wisconsin we have a drought.

Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Last week, Carl and Betty Meister went to Hixton to pick blueberries at a blueberry farm along with their children.

I had a nice surprise this week. When I opened my door, who came in with a big hug, but Ralph and Lupeta from Edinburg, Texas. They were here for about a week visiting. Ralph is the son of Ralph Smith Sr. and M. Pauline Smith. It was great catching up on the news. The Smiths left for home on Wednesday.

It’s was sad to hear of Mark and Judy Ullom’s barn burning last Thursday evening. It happed about 11 p.m.

Understand they got the cows out, which is good. Our sympathy is with you Mark and Judy, it is very hard to go through.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Tom Ullom who passed away over the weekend. Tom had congestive heart failure and was a brother of Jerry and Dan Ullom and Lois Stellrecht of our area.

Jim Toll tells us he went to Sandy Redding’s family prayer service on Thursday, Aug. 15. Dave Toll and his fiancée were up to Jim’s with Dave baling hay after Tammy raked it.

What’s new at the Quams’? Well Marie tells us Jim gets up between 3 and 4 a.m. and cuts hay until milking time.

A mighty long day, Jim! Those two pups of mine, Rory and Rammy, give me so much pleasure I can’t describe it. That little Rammy gets Rory going by putting his paws on Rory and away they go. They usually start at the coffee table and as fast as they can go, they are right behind each other, running around the coffee table, into the dining room, going about 90 mph, and then around the corners they slide around it, sometimes hitting the wall. Going about 100 mph around the corner, I could see how they had to slide. It’s such a good laugh, something everyone needs each day.

Last Wednesday found Diane Hulleman going to Rice Lake and from there she went to the thrift store in Barron and made her way home. Saturday Mike and Nancy Murray visited Diane. They enjoyed supper and left about 9 p.m. Sunday Chad and Colleen Jensen brought Izzy out for Grandma to watch while they were golfing at Butternut. What was Diane doing with Izzy? Well she

Golly, but it’s dry! Yes, the corn is firing from the bottom up, soybeans look like they want to die and who knows about the hay. Pray for rain as we need it now.

Happy birthday to David Beecroft on his special day, Aug. 22. Have a great one.

A very happy birthday to Jerry Mortensen on Aug. 23.

Enjoy your special day, Jerry.

A very happy anniversary to Jerry and Rose Sexton on Aug. 23, when they celebrate 38 years together. Have a great day.

A very happy anniversary to Rick and Dawn Swan on Aug. 24. Hope you have a great day.

A very happy anniversary to Darrell and Billie Aderman on Aug. 25, celebrating 62 years together. Have a wonderful day.

Happy birthday to Marjorie Otto and Briane Williams on Aug. 25, with many more to come.

A very happy anniversary to Shorty and Melissa Crosby, celebrating 19 years together on Aug. 27, with lots more to come.

Happy birthday to James Melton and to Morgan Crosby, both on Aug. 27. Have a wonderful day.

Aug. 28, it’s a happy birthday to Ann Johnson, to Larry Hillman, and Sierra Weigard, on their special day.

A very happy anniversary to Richard and Karen Melton on Aug. 25. Have a wonderful day.

A happy anniversary to Brendan and Alayna Harrington on Aug. 28. Have a wonderful day.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Sandy Redding who passed away Aug. 13, just 14 days after her honey, Bernard. Thursday evening it was family prayer service at the Skinner Funeral Home in Shell Lake. Friday was her funeral at the St. Francis Catholic Church in Spooner with burial beside her husband at Durand. The Reddings and our family were very good friends, going back and forth to each other’s home and my Sunshine loved to talk with Bernard. They will be sadly missed.

Holman earns highest achievement in Boy Scouts

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Brett Holman earned the Eagle Scout rank in a special ceremony held by Troop 51 on Saturday, Aug. 17.

The ceremony took place in the backyard of his parents home in Shell Lake.

The rank of Eagle Scout is earned by only 7 percent of all Boy Scouts and is the highest rank. To earn an Eagle Scout rank, a Boy Scout must earn 21 merit badges.

Holman earned 28 merit badges. He must serve six months in a troop leadership position. He must plan, develop and provide leadership in a community service project, take part in a Scoutmaster conference, and he must successfully complete an Eagle Scout board of review.

In his response, Holman recognized his parents, Phil and Tammy Holman, for

their continuous support and influence in his Scouting career. They enrolled him in Cub Scouts when he was 5 years old and have been involved since then. Holman also recognized his uncles, George and Shawn, for mentoring him through the years. He gave a special thanks to his first Scoutmaster Dave Mancl and to his current Scoutmaster Andrew Savas.

Only 14 members of Troop 51 have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. They are Robert Jacobs, in 1955; Keith Schultz, 1955; Arthur Jacobs, 1956; Jay DesJardins, 1957; Michael Penning, 1959; James Lewis, 1965; Curtis Atkinson, 1977; Mark Aderman, 1992; Aaron Smith, 1995; Ryan Pederson, 2002; Mathew Pesko, 2002; Andrew Mancl, 2003, Thorin Benham, 2003, and Brett Holman, 2013.

Dave Mancl congratulates Eagle Scout Brett Holman after his induction into Eagle Scouts.

Mancl was the Scout leader for Holman when he entered Scouting at the age of 5.

Every Scouting program or event begins and ends with the posting or retiring of the flag.

Devon Guggenberger is shown retiring the flag at Brett Holman’s Eagle Scout induction ceremony on Aug. 17.
