It’s really a safety and law enforcement issue.”

In addition to replacing the sesquicentennial plates, DMV will also replace other standard auto plates that have red letters, as they, too, are showing their age.

Dead crow tests positive for West Nile WASHBURN COUNTY - The Washburn County Health Department reported this week that a dead crow found in the county on Wednesday, Aug. 21, has tested positive for West Nile virus.

This is the first bird that test positive for the virus in the county since surveillance for the mosquito-borne virus began on May 1.

“The positive bird means that residents of Washburn County need to be more vigilant in their personal protective measures to prevent mosquito bites,” Jerri Pederson, health officer/ public health supervisor, said.

West Nile virus is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes acquire the virus by feeding on infected birds.

“Washburn County residents should be aware of West Nile virus and take some simple steps to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” Pederson said. “The West Nile virus seems to be here to stay, so the best way to avoid the disease is to reduce exposure to and eliminate breeding

grounds for mosquitoes.”

The majority of people, 80 percent, who are infected with the virus do not get sick. Those who do become ill usually experience mild symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle ache, rash and fatigue. Less than 1 percent of people infected with the virus will get seriously ill.

The Washburn County Health Department recommends limiting time spent outside at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active; applying insect repellent; making sure windows and door screens are in good repair, changing the water in birdbaths and pet dishes at least every three days, turning over wheelbarrows, wading pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs, trimming tall grass and weeds, and landscaping to prevent water from pooling in lowlying areas.

$14 million for area veterans in 2012, problems on Minong Dam project

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - The monthly meeting of the county board of supervisors addressed a short agenda on the warm evening of Tuesday, Aug. 20.

Board discussions took place on the elimination of service from Namekagon Transit and the annual report from the Washburn County Veterans Service Office among other agenda items.

Succinct discussion directed the board to grant the city of Spooner a utility easement on property located by the county highway shop in Spooner. “The point of

been bursting with donations of furniture, housewares, appliances and building materials, and many of these will be available for purchase at the Spooner location.

Though the nonprofit already has lots of stock on hand, it still needs more donations, as sales are expected to be brisk.

ReStores raise funds to build and repair homes for people in need through Habitat for Humanity programs. The ReStore in St. Croix Falls has already passed along more than $175,000 toward Habitat programs.

The Spooner ReStore needs volunteers to help set up the store and to clean donations and get them out on shelves. Those interested in working with other volunteers may sign up by calling 715-483-2700 or 715-635-4771.

About Amy Matthews With a passion for innovation, architecture, design and education, Matthews is changing how people view one of their most important investments in life, their home. She inspires people to tackle just about any home improvement task as she hosts shows on HGTV and DIY, including “Renovation Raiders,” “Sweat Equity,” “Bathroom Renovations,” “Blog Cabin,” “Esquire’s Home of the Year” and “This New House.” Throughout her career, she has done every home improvement job imaginable, from wielding a sledgehammer to overseeing construction of complete home builds. Her shows remain

it is for them (the city) to get sewer and water to the piece of land they own just north of the property,” explained Thomas Ricci, District 6 representative.

Carl Krantz, veterans service officer of the county veterans service office, gave the 2012 annual Washburn County Veterans Service Office report to board members. Krantz reported that by implementing a change to their transportation service, “We are now recouping more federal dollars and that has been quite successful.”

Within the report submitted to the board the total value of benefits received

popular because of her willingness to take on any project and break it down for even novices to understand.

Matthews studied at Boston University and the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City before she found her passion within the home improvement movement. This passion can be seen not only in her television shows, but also in her work with Habitat for Humanity and the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project in cities such as New Orleans, La., Los Angeles, St. Paul, Minn., and Chiang Mai, Thailand.

In addition to HGTV and DIY, her work has been featured in publications such as the New York Times, Esquire, Country Living, Real Simple, Men’s Health, Good Housekeeping, Fox Business, MarketWatch, HomeStyle Weekly, USA Today, This Old House, U.S. News and World Report, People magazine, Parents, FleaMarket Finds, the Examiner and the New York Daily News. She has also appeared numerous times on national news programs such as “The Today Show,” “CBS Morning News,” ABC and CNN. Most recently, Matthews has signed on as the home improvement expert with HomeAdvisor, a national company which pairs homeowners with service pros. She is also a charter member of the Home Improvement Leadership Board. Whenever Matthews is not on-set, she is spending time with her husband, Aaron Doering, and their son, Eli.

by the veteran community of Washburn County for 2012 was $13.7 million. The federal and state benefits accounts include medical, pension, and education among other benefits. A total of 1,562 veterans live in Washburn County, and seven members of the Washburn County Board of Supervisors are veterans.

Karen Melasecca, transit manager of Namekagon Transit, came before the board to request local funding for their service. The Namekagon Transit serves residents in Sawyer, Douglas and Washburn counties. As of Aug. 1, the transit will no longer be providing rides in Washburn County on Fridays. “With costs rising and our limited budget, I can’t keep doing that,” stated Melasecca.

Melasecca requested the county board consider supplying the transit service with local matching funds in order to regain the Friday service.

According to Melasecca only 11 percent of transit resources go to Washburn County, while Sawyer County absorbs 74 percent.

“We have got a lot of folks who do not get their needs met, and I do not know what the answer is, but I think it is a need that we do need to address at the county board in the future,” stated Beth Esser, District 8 representative. The board determined that the Namekagon Transit request be addressed at the next county budget hearing in October.

Gregory Krantz, District 13 representative, reported there have been several issues on the Minong Dam construction project. “Dam costs are going to be an overrun, there were problems up there,” said Krantz. According to Washburn County Corporation Counsel, Jeffery Kohler, delays in getting final figures on the special assessment district have put a kink in their plan. “What we figure on is using this year’s figures, postponing it (the special assessment) until next year,” said Kohler.

The Minong Dam special assessment committee will meet at the Wascott Town Hall at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 28, to consider the postponement.

DMV five-day customer service centers extend hours All centers to be open 8:30 a.m.-4:45 p.m.

MADISON — After Labor Day, if you’re planning to visit one of DMV’s five-day customer service centers, you’ll have a little bit more time in the week to do it, almost two hours more, in fact. “Rather than having different hours on various days of the week, all 29 of DMVs fiveday centers will now have uniform hours and will be open from 8:30 a.m.-4:45 p.m.

Monday through Friday,” notes Bureau of Field Services Director Donna BrownMartin. “Currently, our five-day centers open early on one weekday and stay open late on another. Sometimes customers will show up early thinking it is an early-open day or arrive late thinking it is a late-close day, and discover that they had the day wrong. Consistent hours will

make it much easier for our customers to remember, and that is important to us.”

This schedule includes 41.25 open service hours per week, per location – an increase of one hour and 45 minutes per week.

DMV would like to remind customers that driver license and ID products are good for eight years, minimizing the need to travel to a customer service location.

Additionally, many services including vehicle registration renewal and some title services can be found online at the official Wisconsin DMV website: wisconsindmv. gov. You can do them at any time and save yourself a trip. Lastly, notes Brown-Martin, “Remember to always look for .gov in the web address. Private, for-profit sites will not contain .gov. These sites carry our information and forms but will charge for them. Forms are always free from DMV, so go to wisconsindmv.gov.” — from WDOT

Spooner’s new fire hall takes shape

Construction on Spooner Fire Department’s new fire hall is well under way. The fire hall is located on Hwy. 63 at the north end of the city. The structure, along with the office building, shown in the background, is expected to be completed by Dec. 20, according to Spooner Fire Chief Darren Vik. He said the project has been in the works for the last 10 years. The new hall will be able to house up to four fire engines and four fire department vehicles. The office building will be utilized for training and meetings. - Photo by Danielle Moe

Northern lawmakers join colleagues to protect rural hospitals Local hospitals could lose critical funding status under federal proposal MADISON - State Sen. Bob Jauch, DPoplar, and state Reps. Janet Bewley, DAshland, Nick Milroy, D-South Range, and Stephen Smith, D-Shell Lake, have co-authored a letter to the Wisconsin Congressional Delegation asking for their support in protecting funding for critical access hospitals.

The U.S. Department of Health Services Office of Inspector General is recommending that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services seek legislative authority from Congress to remove the “necessary provider” designation, a provision which gives states flexibility in assigning CAH designation, and instead require the decision to be made solely on the distance the hospital is from other CAHs. The OIG itself indicates a full 64 percent of the na-

tion’s CAHs, 849 hospitals, would not qualify for CAH designation based on mileage from another hospital. Currently there are 1,300 CAHs nationwide, 58 in Wisconsin.

The northern lawmakers point out that the OIG proposal would eliminate CAH designation for 53 of the 58 CAHs in Wisconsin. In northern Wisconsin, Cumberland Memorial Hospital, Hayward Area Memorial Hospital and Nursing Home, Indianhead Medical Center - Shell Lake, Mayo Health System - Northland - Barron, Spooner Health System and St. Mary’s Hospital of Superior would lose CAH designation should this proposal be implemented.

“This program was created in part because rural hospitals traditionally see a higher rate of Medicare patients than those in urban areas,” said the lawmakers. “Reducing their reimbursement rate would have a devastating impact on their ability to continue to provide access to quality health care in rural Wisconsin.”

The CAH designation was created under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to address the closure of hundreds of rural hospitals across the country which could not survive under Medicare’s reimbursement structure. The CAH designation provided an alternative Medicare reimbursement structure for these small, rural hospitals— a structure that has worked extremely well for the past 20 years. Northern lawmakers, including Jauch, worked hard to secure the CAH designation for hospitals in northern Wisconsin, including St. Mary’s in Superior which did not specifically meet the program’s requirements despite the rural nature of the region surrounding the city of Superior.

The northern lawmakers said the Critical Access designation has made the difference between maintaining hospitals that serve rural areas or closing them. “The simple fact is that many of these hospitals would not be open, and the rural citizens they serve would be deprived of having access to quality health-care services.”

The Obama administration has not indicated they plan on acting on the OIG recommendation and congressional approval would be required to implement the changes. Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin and 19 of her Senate colleagues have already contacted the Senate Finance Committee leadership to voice opposition to a proposal if it were brought forth.

“Critical access hospitals are extremely important health-care providers in Wisconsin, and with the increased workload that will be created through the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, they will be more important than ever. Now is simply not the time to reduce their rates and put their ability to serve their communities in jeopardy,” the lawmakers added. - from the offices of Sen. Jauch, Rep. Smith, Rep. Milroy and Rep. Bewley

Obstructionists

gress you elected?” He goes on to say, “If the head of a Fortune 500 company performed in this manner, he would be given the boot.”

Who are the “obstructionists” Porter speaks about in his piece?

The obstructionists are members of the GOP. Republicans control the House of Representatives with leadership by Boehner. All spending bills must be passed by the House before sending them on to the Senate. In the Senate, Harry Reid, majority leader, must have 60 votes to pass or even introduce a bill.

On the night of Nov. 4, 2008, when President Obama was elected, a group of Republicans met for dinner and vowed to bring Congress to an “absolute standstill.”

This absolute standstill would be implemented by pledging to obstruct, filibuster and block any legislation that Obama approved of knowing that the obstructionist tactics would hurt the American people and the economy. (“The Daily Take,” the Thom Hartmann Program, July 8, 2013) Duffy is a member of the “Do-nothing 113th Congress.” Duffy lines his pockets with donations while we, the taxpayers, continue to foot the bill: $174,000 a year and 75 percent of his benefits.

only released back to their colony if they had shelter and compassionate colony managers to care for them. If colony locations were not suitable, these cats were confined for two weeks in barns (according to Alley Cat Rescue guidelines) and then released and cared for by barn owners.

Many of the cats came from one of the biggest breeding grounds, the farmyards.

Farmers need their cats; they keep the rodent population down. But when the numbers get out of control, these farmers need help. That’s when TNR is most beneficial because the majority of kittens have been coming from these farmyards.

The present practice of trapping and then killing doesn’t work. According to biologist Roger Tabor in his book “Understanding Cats,” it is called the vacuum effect. When cats are eradicated from an area, other stray cats move in and start the breeding process all over again which can actually result in an increased feral population.

TNR is supported by national animal welfare groups and is being practiced in every state. Though not a perfect solution, it is a proactive and humane program that will help to decrease the number of kittens being born and ultimately end the senseless killing.

SPOONER – The Indianhead Writers fall writing contest is set for Saturday, Oct. 19, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Spooner Agricultural Station (Experimental Farm) on Hwy. 70 east of Spooner. Any and all writers club members, as well as individual writers, may take this opportunity to try for a prize. They can meet with other writers to discuss writing and marketing problems and tell about the activities of their writing clubs. This is the fourth year the Indianhead Writers have sponsored this fall event.

The entrant must write a fiction or nonfiction piece or a poem on any subject, with limits of 100 words minimum to about 1,500 words maximum. The entry should not require much more than five minutes to read. Only one entry is allowed per person. The writer or a designated person will read it.

The no-kill movement is sweeping the country and progressive communities that are implementing the programs outlined by the No Kill Advocacy Center, are helping to end the senseless killing of healthy/adoptable companion animals.

All of these programs are of importance. However, proactive programs such as high-volume low-cost spay/neuter, education and trap, neuter and release are especially effective because they focus on prevention. Traditional humane societies focus primarily on adoptions, and the cycle never ends; kittens are born and more adoptions are needed.

With that said, I would like to speak to the TNR program that was addressed in a recent article, Alternative solution for growing problem. In the article, the WCAHS shelter manager said she does not agree with TNR and that some believe the program is irresponsible and/or inhumane.

Over a 10-year period, I worked in conjunction with an animal welfare organization and practiced TNR. As an animal advocate, I can testify that never once was a farm, feral or free-roaming cat released into an unsafe or inhumane environment.

Each TNR situation is different and each must be carefully evaluated. Many of the cats trapped came from colonies. Some of these were adoptable kittens or lost / abandoned cats that were placed into loving homes. Some of the cats were feral, unsocialized and unadoptable, but were

During this five-week August recess, Congressman Sean Duffy has refused to meet his constituents - no office meetings, no town halls. One needs to remember that taxpayers pay Duffy $174,000 and 75 percent of his generous benefits as well as all office expenses, staff and any other expenses accrued. Out of 181 days in the first half of 2013, the House worked just 84 days. Less than 36 bills have been passed by the 113th Congress.

On Aug. 14, Duffy did have plenty of time to meet with House Speaker John Boehner and other wealthy funders for a $5,000 a plate fundraiser for Duffy in Hayward. A reporter for the Sawyer County Record interviewed the observers as they watched the huge SUVs pass by. (haywardwi.com) In an opinion piece, John E. Porter, who served as a Republican congressman from Illinois for 21 years, wrote about the present 113th Congress: “A Do-Nothing Congress isn’t healthy” (cnn.com/2013/08/16/opinion/porterhealth-research-congress).

Excerpts from the opinion piece: “Many commentators have noted that the 113th Congress is on track to be the least productive in recent history. Fewer than three dozen bills have been passed by this Congress and signed into law.”

Area news at a glance BARRON — Deer damage is such a concern to Barron residents that the city council may allow hunters to kill deer with bow and arrow within the city limits this fall, according to information shared at the council’s Aug. 13 meeting. The council members were told that the problem is widespread but is concentrated mainly in the area near Quaderer’s Creek, as it flows west to east through the city before linking up with the Yellow River on the east side of Barron. Resident Nancy Kasper stated in a letter that residents had the right to protect their property “from invasive vermin,” and urged the council “to stop hiding your bows.

New studies may link dementia with high blood sugar Alzheimer’s walk funds research

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — According to the Aug. 8 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, diabetes is a risk factor for dementia, leading some researchers to call this type 3 diabetes. According to the research, it is unknown whether higher glucose levels increases the risk of dementia in people without diabetes.

Either way, the study included 839 men and 1,228 women whose mean age at baseline was 76 years old. Out of the total number of participants, 232 had diabetes and 1,835 did not. They also factored in and adjusted the study to age, sex, educational level, level of exercise, blood pressure and status with respect to coronary cerebrovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, smoking and treatment for hypertension.

When the study started, none of the participants had been diagnosed with dementia.

During the 8-year study, one-fourth of the study group developed dementia of some kind, primarily Alzheimer’s or vascular. They found a steady increase associated with ever-higher blood glucose levels, even in people who didn’t have diabetes. The association with dementia

kept climbing with higher blood sugar levels and at the other end of the spectrum, continued to decrease with lower levels.

The study showed, “Among those whose blood sugar averaged 115 milligrams per deciliter, the risk of dementia was 18 percent higher than among those at 100 mg/dL, just slightly lower. The effects were also pronounced among those with diabetes. Patients with average glucose levels of 190 mg/dL had a 40-percent higher risk of dementia than those whose levels averaged 160 mg/dL.” The study can’t explain why higher blood glucose might be connected to dementia or tell individuals whether lower blood glucose is protective. According to Dr. Paul Crane, the lead author and associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington, “People shouldn’t run for the hills or try crazy diets. While an epidemiological study like this one can guide further exploration, this doesn’t show that changes in behavior that lower your individual blood sugar would decrease your individual risk of dementia.”

Either way, if diabetes does or does not bring on dementia, all doctors recommend that we, as Americans, eat better and get more exercise to control our weight and body health. Research on the subject of type 3 diabetes will continue so

in time there will be a better understanding about the cause and treatment for dementia of all kinds.

There is an experimental diabetes drug know as (Val8)GLP-1 that could help combat the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, according to scientists from the University of Ulster, Great Britain, who say the drug may be able to protect damaged brain cells and promote the growth of new ones. The findings suggest that as well as its role in insulin signaling, GLP-1 may also be important for the production of new nerve cells in the brain which could have huge implications for diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s where brain cells are lost.

Recent research from the Brown Medical School in Providence, R.I., shows that type 3 diabetes is a title that has been proposed for Alzheimer’s disease which results from resistance to insulin in the brain after finding that insulin is produced by the brain as well as the body’s pancreas.

But, once again, the studies indicate that Alzheimer’s can develop without the presence of significant hyperglycemia in the brain. However, those with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, estimated to be between 50 and 65 percent higher.

Register Memories 1953 - 60 years ago

• Shell Lake square dancers met at the shelter house with Carl Yoder directing the dancing.

• Mr. and Mrs. Nels Holman announced the engagement of their daughter, Gayle Valoris, to Frank Marker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Marker of Shell Lake.

• Capitol Alleys in Shell Lake was advertising for pin boys Monday-Thursday, between the ages of 17-18 and weekends 16-17.

derstanding the link between diabetes, insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers are also testing diabetes medication as potential treatments for the neurodegenerative disease.

Needless to say, this is valuable research that puts dementia on alert. But the public still doesn’t see dementia research as valuable as research for other diseases is. It’s a sad commentary because dementias like Alzheimer’s are always fatal and since last year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s, you probably know of several more people who have contracted the dreaded disease.

This year’s walk in Spooner is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 1790 Scribner St., which is across the road from the Spooner Elementary School north of town. The activities begin at 10 a.m. and online registration is open at alz.org/walk to register, whether you would like to form a team or arrange to be part of an already established team, or if you want to donate to the cause.

In addition to the walk, participants will enjoy food and beverages, raffle drawings, games, entertainment and a special program to honor those who have experienced or are experiencing Alzheimer’s. The walk is open to all.

Area writers corner From the daybed to the icebox Years ago we had a small, narrow bed we called a daybed.

It was located in the dining room, out of the way of the usual household traffic. It was a great place for a child to lie down for a short afternoon nap. I don’t think anyone calls this kind of furniture a daybed anymore. Ours was later taken out to the back porch.

In later years, they were sold in furniture stores as studio couches. I suppose the term daybed went the way of the trundle bed, and the bed that folded up into the wall called the Murphy bed. Trends ebb and flow and now beds come as single, double, queen and king, with the size getting ever larger. There must be advertising people coming up with these names. Who could refuse to buy a bed fit for a queen?

Or, better yet, a king? It is so much more desirable than the less noble double bed. Where did our terms for beds go; where is the davenport of yesteryear? Where is the lounge?

Where has the simple little cot we called a daybed gone?

Sometimes there were curtains around beds with the canopy. Sometimes only the canopy above the bed was the style.

Now our living room furniture comes with the sofa, the love seat and the overstuffed chairs. The sofa is extra long and the love seat is extra short. The sofa used to be somewhere in the middle of the two. Sometimes I wonder why changes in style are rather weird. They’re never practical.

They just happen. While I was thinking about how much I miss that daybed I remembered another old-fashioned fixture in our homes of long ago. It was called the icebox. Now we have the electric refrigerator. You plug it in and it stays cool and keeps your food cold and freezes water into ice cubes.

The icebox was only a kind of chest with a compartment on top to hold a big block of ice and the bottom was where you kept your food cool. There was a kind of shallow tray underneath the box where the melting water from the ice dripped down. Someone had to be responsible for sliding that tray out and emptying it. If not, there would be an overflow. Someone would be mopping up the water. My mother was in charge, but sometimes someone was told to empty it and forgot. My mother might be unhappy and so would the whole family.

In our town we had an iceman who came along the road past our house twice a week. He was a husky man everyone called Baby Doll, who could lift a huge block of ice, clamp it with tongs, and carry it up steps and into the homes of people. He was strong and muscular, hardly deserving of his nickname. In the summer all the kids in the neighborhood would follow the truck where the blocks of ice were stacked and covered with a tarpaulin. If Baby Doll took his ice pick and chipped out a half-block for someone, there would be small pieces of ice and little hands to grasp them. While he was delivering the ice block big boys would get bigger pieces and little boys small ones, and sometimes when the iceman returned to his truck he saw that all the kids got bits of ice to cool themselves.

My mother had a little printed card she kept in a kitchen window that told the iceman she needed ice. If it was upside down it said don’t bring ice but right side up, bring ice. It cost a few cents for a block and sometimes she didn’t have any money. Those were hard times. Then we had no ice. You could get along without it, but it was good to have the icebox full of cool ice. Ice was a luxury. You could use a cool cellar or if you had a well you could cool things in your well house.

Otherwise you simply had no cool things.

I never knew where the ice came from but I was told they got it from nearby lakes when they froze over in winter. Men would cut the surface ice into big blocks and take it to a building where they stored it covered with sawdust to keep it from melting.

We had the icebox until one wonderful day when we got a brand-new refrigerator. It was in June, and it was on my brother’s birthday, so I always thought it was the best birthday present given to any of us. A truck from the furniture store brought it and two men carried it into our kitchen. My mother directed them. She had already had my dad remove the old icebox and it stood quietly on the back porch. The refrigerator was shining white and a lot bigger than the icebox.

As soon as it was plugged into the wall socket, it began to hum. What a marvelous thing! Mother showed us how we could put water in little trays and make ice cubes. She had a bottle of grapefruit juice and she told us to make a tray with it and we would have popsicles. We peeked in every once in a while to check the progress and it was more than an hour before we had our first homemade popsicles. They were pretty sour. We soon begged for a nickel so we could buy a package of Kool-Aid and make more popsicles. That was a summer of ice cubes of all kinds and we really enjoyed this new appliance.

Some of the old memories are not so pleasant as those days when we reveled in the wonderful new refrigerator that made the iceman and the icebox obsolete. That was all right, because Baby Doll was also a coal man and he was kept busy filling our coal bins in the wintertime for many years.

Fair food

s August is winding down and most students are preparing for the school doors to open, the Minnesota State Fair is about midway though for this year.

Due to the fact that the television news we receive at our house comes from the Twin Cities, our airwaves are filled with state fair events during newscasts.

The fair, which began Aug. 22, will wrap up Sept. 2. Being introduced as new foods at this year’s celebration were items such as bacon-wrapped grilled shrimp on a stick, deep-fried olives; deep-fried bread pudding; fried pickles ‘n chocolate; grilled glazed donuts; peanut butter and jelly malts and sundaes and glazed deepfried meat loaf. After reading this list of foods, the feeling in my stomach isn’t one of hunger.

I remember while attending the county fair in our youth, my sister, Konnie, would always get a Pronto Pup. I think we referred to them as corndogs at that time.

The Minnesota State Fair had a booth this year that was offering flavored corndogs.

Flavors included jalapeño cheese, sweet corn and double bacon.

As a kid at the county fair, my choice of food, if it could be called that, was pink, fluffy, cotton candy. Speaking of cotton candy, have you heard about the Cotton Candy grape? It took eight years to develop this hybrid variety.

According to Cali-

fornia’s Grapery, this all-natural grape is the result of cross-pollinating wild grape species. Some comments on the new grape are: “I think it’s a surprisingly fantastic flavor combination. Tastes like the grapes have been aged in a cotton candy factory.” And, “The flavor is pleasant, but there is something inherently disturbing about a natural flavor mimicking the fiberglass insulation of candy. I’ll stick to my tart grapes.”

Since I seem to have outgrown my desire to eat cotton candy, I guess I will not insist that Kathy and Jack Dahlstrom of Dahlstroms Lakeside Market in Shell Lake order some in just for me. I’m thinking though, that if I do come across the Cotton Candy grapes, I would probably be tempted to try one.

Plan would issue grades to Wisconsin schools

by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Two GOP state lawmakers have introduced a new accountability plan that would grade public schools, charter schools and voucher schools. It’s getting push back from the voucher school lobby.

The plan from state Sen. Luther Olsen and state Rep. Steve Kestell, who chair the Legislature’s education committees, includes penalties for schools that perform poorly. Voucher schools that rank at the bottom for three years would no longer be allowed to take new voucher students. Charter schools could close.

Olsen calls the plan a big deal, and one that’s been in the works for a while. “We cannot continue to have schools that are not meeting students needs and getting students where we need them to be.”

The bill would expand on new school report cards that were unveiled last year for public schools, which Olsen says had one

major failing, they did not account for growth in schools. “In other words, if you get students that come to your school that are a couple of years behind and you’re moving them along real well, faster than normal, the report cards right now don’t give you credit for that.”

Olsen says these new report cards would change that.

The pro-voucher group School Choice Wisconsin is not on board with the accountability plan as it stands right now. Director Jim Bender says it gives too much power to the state Department of Public Instruction, run by Superintendent Tony Evers.

“As anybody that’s been paying attention the last six months can tell you, DPI is not a particular fan of the choice program.”

Bender says that means DPI won’t give choice schools a fair shake, but Olsen says the bill requires regular audits of DPI’s methods. Olsen plans to hold a public hearing on the bill in September.

Wisconsin looks to join neighboring states in monitoring prescription drugs

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Wisconsin wants to expand its prescription drug monitoring program to share information with bordering states and help prevent drug abuse.

The Wisconsin Pharmacy Examining Board is expected to take up the issue at their meeting next month. Department of Safety and Professional Services Secretary Dave Ross says it makes a lot of sense to share prescription painkiller information with other states, especially for border communities. “If we had a system that only addressed prescription drug activity in Wisconsin alone, and someone was doctor shopping – they were going to multiple doctors in Minnesota – we’d have no way to track that,” Ross said. “In the near future, we will have an enhancement to the system in which other states will be sharing this information with each other. This is just a great tool.”

Already, Illinois and Michigan are sharing information in a national data system, and Minnesota is in the process of connecting. Dr. Mathew Horning is a family physician at the Chequamegon Clinic in Ashland. He says this expansion is important. “Certainly in Ashland, we’re not that far from Michigan or Minnesota, so that will be another loop that can be closed, and we don’t have to worry about people just crossing state lines.”

The plan now is for Wisconsin to join the interstate data hub in two to four months.

Victory over Loggers offers new start for Lakers

Turnovers key in first gridiron win in nearly two years

by Larry Samson Register staff writer PHILLIPS - With a 27-0 win over the Phillips Loggers on Friday, Aug. 23, the Lakers started out the season with a win, their first win since they lost 58-34 to Hurley on Friday, Oct. 21, 2011.

The win over Phillips came with backup quarterback Dylan Sandwick leading the team on Phillips home field. He was filling in for Sam Livingston; it was the first start and the first varsity win for the junior.

Shell Lake scored in the second quarter when they drove down to the 14-yard line.

On the next play, running back Tanner Williams scored, and with an extra point from David Brereton, it was a 7-0 game.

Williams scored on a 72-yard run midway through the third quarter to make it 13-0.

Laker defender James Crawford intercepted a Phillips pass and ran it back to the 24-yard line setting up the third Williams touchdown. Sandwick hit Sam Muska on

a short pass for the two-point conversion and the score was 21-0. Muska broke a run up the middle for a 32-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and the score was 27-0.

Coach Lehnherr pulled most of his starters to give the younger players the opportunity to play.

Shell Lake came up with six turnovers.

Crawford had one interception and recovered two fumbles. Curtis Parker had an interception that he ran back to the 5-yard line before he was brought down. Zach Melton came up with an interception late in the game, and Andrew Larson recovered one fumble.

Shell Lake will travel to Carson Park in Eau Claire to play Wisconsin Heights on Saturday, Aug. 31, with a 1 p.m. start.

Wisconsin Heights is a Division 6 school with an enrollment of 225 students down

by Madison. They are are coming off a 12-7 loss to Southweastern, known as a team that can pass as well as run the ball.

The Shell Lake Lakers and quarterback Dylan Sandwick started the 2013 season off with a 27-0 win over the Division 5 Phillips Loggers on Friday, Aug. 23, in Phillips. The Shell Lake line came through for the backup quarterback as they went up against a much larger line.

Running back Tanner Williams gives Dominic Hopke time to set up his block. Williams had three touchdowns for the game. Hopke was an outstanding running back in junior high and was put into the line this year as a pulling guard.

The play of the game came in the third quarter when Shell Lake had a 13-0 lead and were forced to punt. With a bad snap, punter David Brereton chased down the ball and with two defenders barreling in on Fullback Sam Muska shoots through the hole him, he shanked a 40-yard punt that decreated by the line. He had a 32-yard run for the nied Phillips from a good touchdown and touchdown, giving Shell Lake a 27-0 lead. good field position. The years he spent on the soccer field paid off.

Barronett

Heart Lake

by Judy Pieper

Cumberland’s Rutabaga Fest was, once again this year, wonderful. There are so many people, so many different crafty things to browse through, so much food and, for those who are much braver than I am, so many carnival rides. The first thing Duane and I did was find a hot pepper sandwich. Yum. I hope they never try to improve on that, like add hot rutabagas to it or something, because nothing else could be that good. Then, while I pigged out on pecan pie with ice cream, Duane had a root beer float.

The parade this year was even better than usual. There must have been at least 10 high school marching bands, lots of floats with town queens and princesses on them, the queen and princess of the Spooner rodeo on horseback, tractors, emergency vehicles, boats, well, you get the picture. And, of course, there was lots of candy and other goodies being thrown to the spectators.

I felt sorry for some of the kids marching in the bands.

It was so hot and they were wearing long-sleeved uniforms. Don’t you think they should have different uniforms for days when it’s over 90 degrees out? Maybe someone should bring that up at a PTA meeting or something.

Curt and Mary Kay Hefty were down from Alaska visiting this past week. They were here for Curt’s 55th Cumberland High School class reunion. We didn’t get to visit with them as much this time because they stayed with Pat instead of us, but they did stop by a couple of times. While Mary Kay was visiting her mom, MayDean Farr, on Sunday afternoon, Curt watched the parade with Jerry and Carol Hefty and Duane and me.

Jesse and Rachel Adams held their annual fish fry after the parade on Sunday. It’s in honor of Tristen’s birthday, and this year he turned 16. You know what that means – he’ll be taking his on-the-road driving test this week.

Watch out world, here he comes.

Pat Olson made supper at her home on Sunday evening for Curt, Mary Kay, Sharai Hefty, Gary Rahn, Duane and me. It was nice to be sitting in a cool house, relaxing and visiting with everyone, and enjoying Pat’s great food. Her little great-granddaughter, Aubrey, was visiting, too. I’ll tell you what, that little girl is such a cutie.

She can go from smiling like a little angel to the most adorable pout in a split second. She will be a year old on Sept. 8, and she can already say “book” and go pick out the one she wants her grandma to read to her.

John Schmidt – you know, the guy who deserted us for Colorado a few years ago – was in town this past week visiting with friends and enjoying the Rutabaga Fest. He had breakfast at the Red Brick on Friday with Penny (Crawler’s widow), Marilynn and Ray Shaurette and Duane. And he and Linda watched the parade with us on Sunday. We had a very nice time visiting with him and think he should probably consider moving back to Barronett. Why would anyone ever move out of Barronett in the first place? From here, John will be heading over to eastern Wisconsin to visit with friends before getting back on the road.

Now that Rutabaga Fest is over we can start thinking about, and planning for, Barronett Colorfest. It will be held on Sept. 20-22 and there will be lots of things for everyone. You know, of course, that I will be reminding you of that until it’s over. The women of Barronett Lutheran will be hosting the pie and ice-cream social again this year, so we hope you’ll stop by.

And, speaking of the women of Barronett Lutheran,

we will be holding our first meeting of the fall on Thursday, Sept. 5, at 7 p.m. in the church basement. That will be the only meeting we will have before Colorfest, so there will be lots of planning to do. Mark it on your calendar so you remember to come. We can use plenty of help this year.

John and Nancy Forrestal invited Duane and me to a potluck picnic that was hosted by the American Legion and VFW in Shell Lake last Thursday evening. It was held in the shelter at the beach, and was a very nice gathering. We had a chance to visit with a lot of people and sampled lots of very good food. The veterans all signed a guest register at the front door and were given a number.

After dinner the numbers were drawn for door prizes.

Man, they had so many nice prizes that for a while it seemed as if every veteran there was going to get a prize.

This was their first annual potluck and they plan to have one every summer from now on.

Wow, Labor Day is next Monday. Where has the summer gone? The kids will be going back to school again next week. It’s such an exciting time of the year for the little ones. And, this is probably my favorite time of year, too. Spring and summer are nice, but fall is the best. The trees will be turning such beautiful colors soon. The garden is pretty much ready to harvest. Life just doesn’t get much better than this.

Our sympathy goes out to Leroy and Dorothy Orth and Geri and Mel Pittman on the death of their aunt Elaine Jerry of Grand Rapids, Minn. Elaine was the widow of Beatrice Orth’s brother, Jack, and was the last remaining family member from that generation.

Our sympathy goes out to the family of Shannon Willmeth, who passed away suddenly at home this past weekend. Please keep the family members in your prayers for comfort as they work through this time of terrible loss.

That’s about all I know from Barronett his week. I hope you enjoy your three-day weekend. See you next time.

Another hot day and they predict more of the same most of the week. We had a little rain last night but not enough to do much good.

Sympathy to the family of Norman Butenhoff, 82, who passed away last week. Funeral will be at the Methodist Church.

Lillian Ullom attended the funeral of Tom Ullom last week. Sympathy to the Ullom family.

Mary Marschall and Sara spent Saturday at Wealthy Marschall’s to freeze sweet corn. Won’t that taste good in the winter?

Last Wednesday, Brady and Brian Marschall went with their Uncle Daryl to Canada for a few days.

Judy Bolterman is back from North Dakota visiting her daughter Amy who just gave birth to Judy’s first grandchild. She did a good job of spoiling her, I’m sure.

Arlys Santiago attended the music at the Potter’s Shed Friday night. She said it was really good. It was Molly and the Danger Band performing.

Our interim pastor, Arvid Sundet, who has been here eight months will be leaving us as we have a new pastor coming, Pastor Sue Odegard. We welcome her to Shell Lake. We’ve enjoyed Pastor Arvid and Kim Sundet.

Godspeed to you.

Services in the park next Sunday with all local churches participating.

A group from here went to lunch at Tony’s on Tuesday.

Georgean Kruger was here on Thursday showing us pictures about her adventures out West.

Labor Day weekend next weekend, so try to take in as many of the activities as you can. I hope the weather cooperates.

School starts on Tuesday, Sept. 3, so we will be seeing the yellow buses go by. Where has the summer gone?

Jack Daniels Fishing Story: I went fishing one morning, but after a short time, I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth snake with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait. Knowing the snake couldn’t bite me with a frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put him in my bait basket.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that snake with two more frogs.

M

any years ago, a Georgia farmer had one mule that was particularly stubborn. He would not go anywhere or do anything without a reward.

After much thought and planning, the farmer fastened a pole to the mule’s harness. It extended about 1 foot beyond the mule’s nose. On the end of the pole he tied an ear of corn, just beyond the mule’s mouth. Excited, the mule began to walk, trying to reach the ear of corn. He was never able to reach it, though he tried and tried.

How different is our Lord. He never tempts us with promises he will not keep. He never brings a problem into our life without having a solution available. He never teases us with an empty treat.

And we have his word that he will not abandon us without wanting to save us. We have the assurance that, “Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved!”

If we reach out to him we will realize that he has already reached out to us with his salvation through Jesus Christ, his son, our savior.

“Ghost Walk” presented in Shell Lake

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Once a year, the people who once were a part of our lives or people who have had a huge impact in the Shell Lake/Spooner communities come back to sit on the beautiful shores of Shell Lake to share their life stories. The play sponsored by the Washburn County Historical Society is an entertaining and informal look into our past and the people who helped pave the way.

Most of the characters in the play, written by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake, were born about 100 years ago and their stories helped shape our communities.

Joe Barta, 1910-1978, was a wood-carver and teacher in Spooner. His works of art can still be seen in the Museum of Woodcarving in Shell Lake.

Marie Coquilette, 1925-1978, is best remembered as Santa Claus because she put on the suit for the Spooner children every Christmas. She worked tirelessly to make Spooner the place it is today.

Susan, Abby and Naomi sing harmony while their younger sister, Selathea, plays backup on her acoustic guitar. Their music was upbeat and inspirational. When the pavilion was built the hope was to bring in music and arts for the community.

The Durocher Family is a national group that played a blend of bluegrass and gospel music on this warm Sunday morning. The music group is Paul and Judy Durocher and their 12 children.

The Durocher Family is from Grand Rapids, Minn., and their information can be found on their Facebook page. – Photos by Larry Samson RIGHT: John Trudell gets a kiss from his mother, Tessica, during the Durocher Family bluegrass performance on Sunday, Aug. 25 at the Shell Lake pavilion.

Buckridge moved, seconded by Shelton, to refer the seasonal site proposal back to the Parks and Recreation for further consideration. The motion carried.

In regard to consideration of the feasibility of a limited-term employee dedicated to the park, campground and recreation park it was decided to have job descriptions for the campground manager, lake coordinator, city crew and police chief forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Committee.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Brad Pederson relayed information he received about the feasibility of a stewardship grant for funding a portion of the ATV Campground Project. This grant would require a twenty-percent local share and there will be a lot of competition. As we have received two rounds of Outdoor Recreational Vehicle funding for the project at the one-hundred-percent grant level it was suggested we wait for additional ORV funding.

Leckel moved, seconded by Burns, not to apply for the 80/20 Stewardship Grant. The motion carried.

Minutes from a recent Downtown/Lakefront Events Committee meeting were reviewed. The committee recommends Troy Benham be reimbursed for expenses relating to running the Monday night movies. Eiche moved, seconded by Shelton, to reimburse Troy Benham $650 for the season. The motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS: Dave Wilson reviewed the new state law authorizing municipalities to allow golf carts to operate on certain street. A draft amendment to Sec. 10-4-1 of the Shell Lake Code of Ordinances which would allow golf carts to be operated on city streets with a speed limit of 25 miles or less but not across any state trunk highway or Highway 63 was reviewed and discussed.

Harrington moved, seconded by Graf, to approve the code amendment with the condition it be reviewed one year from the date of adoption. A roll call vote was taken: Shelton-no, Eiche-no, Buckridge-no, Edlin-no, Leckel-no, Harrington-yes, Burns-yes and Graf-yes. The motion failed.

Alderperson Harrington presented information on tree transplanting of northwood maples and nonfruit bearing spring snow crabs in the pavilion area in the park and a spring snow crab on Main Street. Alderperson Harrington noted the proposed locations would not interfere with the pavilion stage viewing area which is also used for the placement of tents for big functions. Alderperson Harrington noted the spring snow crab can replace the tree that was removed on Main Street. Eiche moved, seconded by Shelton, to approve the planting of three northwood maples and three spring snow crabs in the park and one spring snow crab on Main Street. The motion carried 7-yes 1-no.

A letter of resignation from Lake Coordinator Dave Vold effective 12/31/13, was reviewed. Shelton moved, seconded by Buckridge, to accept the resignation with the city’s appreciation for his service. The motion carried.

Copies of a letter from Rollie Erickson commending Jeff Parker and the City Crew were distributed.

Eiche moved, seconded by Shelton, to adjourn at 10:05 p.m.

The motion carried.

New personnel at Shell Lake School District

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Parents and students will have three new teachers for this coming school year. Sarah Dettman and Kim Simon will be teaching in the district’s grades three through 12 building, while Shonda Anderson will be teaching in the primary school building.

Dettman is the new fifth-grade teacher at Shell Lake. Originally from Somerset, Dettman attended college in River Falls where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education and a minor in Spanish. Family camping excursions to the Shell Lake area have helped to make the transition to Shell Lake easier for her. “I am extremely excited and feel really lucky to be part of such a supportive school and community,” said Dettman, “I look forward to this upcoming year.”

Anderson is a new 4K teacher at Shell Lake. For the past five years Anderson has lived in Eau Claire and taught 4K for Regis Catholic Schools. Anderson received her Bachelor of Science degree in early childhood studies from Metropolitan State University of St. Paul in 2004.

She holds her elementary education licensure from Dominican University of River Forest, Ill., received in 2008, and her early childhood licensure from Viterbo University of La Crosse, received in 2012. After

Anderson enjoys photography, with her son, Ollie, being her main subject, and also enjoys the areas of arts and science. “I consider myself to be a lifelong learner and can’t wait to share this love of learning with the children of

the Shell Lake area,” stated Anderson.

Simon is Shell Lake School’s new music teacher for grades three, five and six.

Simon attended the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, moving to Birch Island Lake outside of Webster in 2004. She previously lived in Chisago City, Minn., and taught kindergarten through fifth-grade music there for 10 years. She has been

teaching private piano at Spooner Elementary for the past two years. Simon started, and still conducts, her church choir since 2004. With two grown sons, she likes to garden, kayak, read, cook, cross-country ski and spend time with her 2-year-old grandson.

Nature photography is a passion for Jan Peterson

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SARONA — Jan Peterson, office manager at Hunt Hill, is just as at home behind a desk as she is knee-deep in swamp water taking a photo of a frog camouflaged in the muck. She has a passion for both. Her duties at Hunt Hill are greeting the public, answering the phones, all the bookkeeping, program registrations, keeping track of membership, managing

“I have been watching this family of cranes, it just warms my heart each time I see them,” said photographer Jan Peterson. “The young goose is indeed part of this crane family. How this happened I can only speculate, whether the parents and other offspring were killed or if this one goose wandered off or got lost, but one thing is for sure, he is a now a crane. He walks between the cranes legs and is just family. There are a lot of man-influenced adoptions in animals, dogs taking in other animals and such, but it is so special to see in nature, one soul taking care of another. Just one of the many reasons I love cranes so much.”

“This young house finch is wonderful,” said the photographer. “She was around our barn and I stopped to take her photo and she seemed to totally enjoy the attention. Her father wasn’t far away and was keeping an eye on things and got into some photos himself.”

the website and anything needed to keep the office running. Her thoughts on working at Hunt Hill, “It is a perfect fit for me … I feel like I am coming home every day I come to work.”

For Peterson, photography started when her brother, stationed in Vietnam, gave her a Minolta 35mm SLR camera.

She bought her first Canon SLR in 1987 and has stayed with the brand. “It is the person behind the camera that makes the difference,” she says.

“I love the challenges of nature photog-

what happens to come along while out in the field, being able to observe while being out and about. Other times she plans her field trips with an image in mind, like her photo of cranes in front of the moon.

She went out to get that image and came home with it because of her knowledge and skill earned though countless hours of photography.

Peterson’s love for animals, birds and nature is captured in her photography.

Jan Peterson, Cumberland resident and office manager at Hunt Hill, is shown with her trusty Canon 5D and 100-400 telephoto lens.

She carries the heavy outfit around on her walks and excursions. — Photo by Larry Samson For her photography is a passion in life.

“My goal in taking images, sharing and selling them, is to try to connect people to nature. Every animal/bird/creature out there has a personality and spirit. I am so lucky to be able to observe and capture that ... and I hope that people can connect through my images with nature.”

This image taken by Jan Peterson won first place at the Sax Zim Bog photo contest early this year. Sax Zim is a nature area near Meadowlands, Minn. “The photo was taken near Ashland of a family of eagles fighting over a roadkill deer,” she said. “It was wonderful to watch the interactions of a family and see the individual personalities. The son was so mellow and submissive to his sister, which is probably a very wise choice.” – Photos by Jan Peterson unless otherwise noted 1/2 mile south of Shell Lake on Hwy. 63

I love not knowing if I will come home with that special image or just have a wonderful time outside enjoying and observing nature.” Peterson likes taking photos around home or on a walk down the road. “There is so much around us that we just overlook.” For most of her work she is an opportunist shooter.

“This beautiful oriole had just returned in the spring and came to our feeders to enjoy the jelly and nectar that we put out. I love to sit on our deck and watch all the birds come to the feeders and feast. Birds are having a harder time surviving in this world, with pesticides, environment changing and their natural habitat being altered, I feel that it is very important to help them in any way that we can. It can be as simple as a water supply in the summer and winter or planting native shrubs for food/shelter or supplying food for them. This spring, when the snow came so late, we were buying mealworms by the large bags and suet to help the robins and other bug-eating birds get through that period. I was throwing handfuls of mealworms on the ground twice a day that the 50 robins survived on. It is just a simple thing of looking, observing and helping,” said Jan Peterson.

Jan Peterson said, “This was one of the few photos that I set out to take exactly this image and it worked out. This was taken south of Grantsburg during the harvest moon three years ago. I knew where the cranes roosted at night and where they would be flying in, and set up so I would hopefully capture some in front of the moon. Waited and watched as they flew everywhere ... and finally one line flew in front of the moon. Was even more excited when they actually turned out.”
