Bear encounter too close to home
Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — It was another summer morning for Shirley Hagen and her daughter, Tamara Kauffmann, on Thursday, July 10. The pair was in the kitchen watching Hagen’s three great-grandsons, Ryan, Jordan and Aden Klobertanz, walk the driveway down to catch the bus for summer school. In a matter of seconds their easy summer morning took a harrowing turn. “All of a sudden my daughter is screaming, ‘Mom, Mom,’ well the bear was in front of them right there, and my oldest grandson, 7 years old, frightened that bear away,” said Hagen. The bear stood about 3-1/2 feet to 4 feet tall by Hagen’s best estimate, certainly more than a match for Ryan. The bear appeared out of the cornfield that bordered the driveway, and Ryan did what he says was his instinct. “He stood up on his toes and spread his arms out, and he screamed,” said Hagen. The house was also reacting. Hagen and Kauffmann were calling for Jim Klobertanz to get the boys in the car. The bear, reacting to the car coming down the driveway, simply turned and ambled up Hagen’s driveway to disappear into the neighbor’s yard. “Thank God the thing turned around and walked away. We were so scared, and I am telling you I am still shaking,” said Hagen. Hours after the encounter, Hagen’s voice still held an edge filled with worry over the boys being able to even safely play in the yard. Despite her concerns about the boys’ safety in
the future, Hagen did not report the incident to the local authorities at the Department of Natural Resources. “It was living outside of town, they don’t do anything about it because there is woods around here and it’s a big open field,” said Hagen. Hagen’s residence is bordered by woods and fields on Old Hwy. B in the Town of Bashaw. “We wait for the bus to come in the car. They won’t be walking down to the bus anymore,” said Hagen. The incident may have gotten their guardians’ hearts racing, but it did not get the Klobertanz boys out of summer school that day. In exchange they do have a pretty incredible story to share; staring down a bear before they even hit double digits. Mike Zeckmeister, Northern District wildlife supervisor for the DNR, said that this bear encounter was handled very well, both by Ryan and the adults. “Making yourself ‘big’ and making noise will often frighten a bear away, especially in a surprise encounter. The adults were wise to drive the children to the bus stop after this encounter, especially considering the presence of the adjoining cornfield where the bear was likely feeding,” wrote Zeckmeister in an email to the Register. For more information Zeckmeister suggests checking out the DNR website, DNR. wi.gov and type in the key words Living with Bears.

Mural installed in downtown Spooner Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — Centennial Park in downtown Spooner now features the characterizations of 16 individuals from Spooner. On Friday, July 11, people gathered in the park to install and witness the mural’s unveiling. Painted on panels of exterior signboard by Ashland artist Sue Martinsen, the mural began as an effort by Judy Powers to put a piece of the infamous Aggie Johnson and her husband, Vern, back into their former corner to memorialize her. “I just wanted to get Aggie back where she belongs. She was this flamboyant, red-haired, fun woman,” said Powers. In the 1940s and ‘50s Aggie and Vern operated the tavern that stood where Centennial Park now exists. “What most people don’t know about Aggie is she was always doing nice things for people,” said Powers. Powers said that Kathy ZumBrunnen remembers her father, Robert ZumBrunnen, talking about the kind things Aggie did for people, especially children. “If a man spent all of his money at the bar, Aggie saw to it that his wife got the money back and she bought shoes and clothes for the kids,” said Powers. Sometimes confused for the bar that was oper-

The mural includes the characterizations of 14 other Spooner individuals, all based off of submitted photographs and

painted my Martinsen. Incorporating the additional individuals helped pay for nearly half the mural’s cost. From start to finish the mural took Martinsen about four weeks to complete and due to space
constraints in her studio, Friday was the first time she had seen it completely assembled. “If it wasn’t for Sharon Tarr, I wouldn’t have had the pictures of Aggie to give to the artist; because of her I was able to do it,” acknowledged Powers. The mural was also made possible through the support of the park board, the garden club, the BID committee and Tony Baier, owner of the building the mural is installed on. Powers also extends appreciation to the individuals that installed the mural: Ed Chaney Jr., Mark Johnson and grandson Landon Loucks, Joe Powers, Jim Abbs and Gary Durand. “I am hoping that this mural will be just the first of many more depicting our past history, besides and including the railroad. We have many more interesting people that could be included in this,” said Powers.

Washburn County’s coroner calls it quits after 18 years Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer MINONG — Karen Baker understands loss and the power of compassion. Baker has been the Washburn County coroner for 18 years but is making her own call this time and not running for re-election this fall. Jason Sebens, her deputy coroner for the last two years, is running unopposed for the position of Washburn County coroner. “I just decided it was time. They say the average term of a coroner is 10 years or less because you just get burnt out because you are always on call,” she said. When Baker was originally elected to the position she also became the first female coroner in Washburn County history. She quickly discovered the job of coroner can be a thankless one. As a coroner she is always on call, no matter the day or time, unless the deputy coroner is available to cover her. Wisconsin state law requires every county to have an elected coroner or an appointed medical examiner. Several state statutes address the duties and responsibilities they have to determine the cause of a death that falls under their legal jurisdiction. These deaths include suicides, homicides, accidental deaths and deaths from natural causes. A coro-
Karen Baker, longtime Washburn County coroner, will not be running for re-election this fall. She recently took some time to share what being a coroner really involves. — Photo by Danielle Moe ner’s scope of responsibilities can also include public statistical data collection, master disaster preparedness, public health and safety. According to Jenifer Keach, president
of the Wisconsin Coroners and Medical Examiners Association board of directors, a large percentage of deaths investigated by coroners are natural deaths that are unexpected or unexplained, with the remainder of deaths stemming from unusual or suspicious circumstances such as accidents, suicides and homicides. “A medical examiner is appointed by the county board,” said Baker. According to Baker the two positions are identical except that the coroner is an elected position, while a medical examiner is appointed by the county board. In Wisconsin, 25 counties have gone to hiring a medical examiner, 43 still elect a coroner and four have neither. For Baker, being coroner is not just about finding the cause of death, it is an opportunity to show compassion. “I have met so many wonderful families and everybody has been so supportive … It has been really good,” she said. In her time as coroner Baker has made many connections and received support from police officers, funeral homes, the register of deeds and the county board. Most coroners are medical or criminal justice professionals that rely on their medical and forensic training to determine
the cause of death. Before being elected as coroner, Baker worked as an emergency medical technician for 20 years. If necessary, the coroner can request a forensic specialist to perform additional services such as an autopsy or toxicology testing. The coroner then combines all available information into a legal record that documents the cause and manner of death. It is a thankless job that involves death and paperwork, but for many in the position, like Baker, being a coroner is a privilege. “You are almost the last person they see before the funeral home and you don’t want to leave them with a negative thought. I talk to them, visit with them, that means so much to them — a hug, it just does so much,” said Baker. For the future coroner Baker only hopes for him to be compassionate and caring. “I am going to miss it tremendously. I will probably stay on just as a deputy coroner just to help Jason take over, but we will see how that goes.” Baker resides in Minong with her husband, Bernie, and holds a part-time position at the assisted living facility Premier Country Living in Minong.
DOT uncovers untransferred property
Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake City Council approved a resolution waiving the city’s rights to compensation for a parcel to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation among other agenda items during the regular monthly meeting on Monday, July 14. “There is a piece of property that the DOT needs to purchase, we thought the city owned the parcel, it is actually railroad parcel,” said Nicole Flamang of the
Wisconsin DOT. The parcel will become part of the corridor for the bike path and is part of the land the city acquired from the DOT originally. According to Flamang, in the original deal with the DOT and the railroad a piece of the land never got transferred to the city. “DOT is going to purchasing that parcel from Wisconsin Central and at the end of the project we are going to convey it ... back to the city, we don’t need it,” said Flamang. The resolution was passed
on a unanimous roll-call vote. Ward 1 Alderperson Ken Schultz informed the council that the recommendation to request to place water and sewer lines under Hwy. 63 north of the Hwy. 63 and CTH D intersection during the DOT 2015 Hwy. 63 construction project was now delayed until possibly 2020. “Unfortunately the city’s window of opportunity has passed us by and we will not be able to take advantage of that (the Hwy. 63 construction project) and as it stands
right now they are going to do a mill and overlay rather than a major dig so we’ll end up at a future date of ... 2019, 2020 as the earliest to when we would be able to be doing that,” explained Schultz. The city council also approved a recommendation to allow the executive/human resources committee to approve the new job description for the park/campground manager during their meeting later this See City council, page 4

Old-fashioned Democrats Where have all the old-fashioned Democrats, those in the mold of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John Kennedy gone? Although I disagreed and still disagree with their policies, they were men of integrity and men of their word. It seems that this variety of Democrat has disappeared or gone underground, and what remains are what I would call progressive Democrats. The old liberal Democrats would join in honest debate with Republicans and Conservatives and argue about policies and solutions to problems. Progressives do not seem to tolerate debate. If someone disagrees with them, the approach taken by Progressives is to silence him or her through intimidation or humiliation. For them if a few laws need to be broken or lies need to be told to accomplish a person’s destruction, it’s full speed ahead. Examples of this approach of Progressives abound today. Probably the best-known example is that of the IRS bending to the will of progressive Democrats to silence conservative groups before the 2012 residential election. Employees of the IRS broke laws and engaged in partisan action by holding up applications of political opponents and targeting those who held opinions different from theirs with audits and harassment. Nixon attempted to use the IRS against political opponents, but the employees of the IRS had enough integrity to prevent him from doing it. The current IRS has been so politicized with a far left bend that it succeeded in attacking the presi-
dent’s political opponents. Democrats and Republicans were rightly outraged when Nixon tried it. When Obama’s cohorts successfully used the IRS to target opponents, Obama stated there is not a smidgen of corruption. Meanwhile Democrats are completely silent and some even defend the IRS’s actions. I don’t believe Truman, Kennedy, and other past Democrat leaders would have remained silent if this had taken place on their watch. These leaders would have held the perpetrators accountable. There are many other examples of intolerance of conservative views and the right to express them. The extreme left wing views of college administrators and professors have led to the shouting down of speakers with whom they disagree and to keeping such speakers off campus in the first place. College is no longer a place to examine many different ideas. What makes me wonder is why so many mainstream Democrats put up with this extremism. Are they afraid that if the Progressives take over the country they themselves may become targets? I think that moderate Democrats should join with Republicans and Independents to protect free speech. If the far left takes power, moderate Democrats will not be in charge and may find themselves with a gag in their mouths, compliments of their own party. James Lewis Shell Lake

There’s just something magic about that.” McMullin says that Duck for the Oyster Hunt Hill dances attract a diverse group. “We get the widest variety of people at these dances,” says McMullin. “The thing they share in common is having fun. Singles and couples, kids and elders, everyone has a good time. Some folks just to enjoy the live music. There are always refreshments available. It’s a great way to spend an evening.” The dance is alcohol and tobacco free. Each dance is taught before the music starts; no previous experience is necessary. For more information about the dance visit duckfortheoyster.com or call 715-635-7641. — from Duck for the Oyster
Duck for the Oyster will be holding their high summer dance on Friday, July 18, at Hunt Hill in Sarona. — Photo submitted

Washburn County accident report Friday, June 24 James S. Church, 42, Hayward, was eastbound on Hwy. 70 four-tenths of a mile from Lake Road in the Town of Stone Lake at approx. 7:30 a.m., when he struck a deer traveling west across the roadway. The 2001 Chevy Cavalier Church was driving received severe damage to the front, front passenger side and front driver side. The accident report did not state if Church received injuries in the crash. Saturday, June 28 At approximately 10:37 p.m., Eric D. Armstrong, 19, Trego, was west bound on Cadle Road, one-half mile from Bashaw Street in the Town of Bashaw, when he lost control of the vehicle in the wet gravel and began to hydroplane. Armstrong, driving a 2003 Dodge Durango, overcorrected, drove off the road and rolled down the ditch, coming to rest on the passenger side. At the time of the accident, Armstrong had two passengers, Trevor Bartle, 18, and Tyler Bartle, 20, both of Springbrook. When Josh Christman, Washburn County deputy, arrived at the accident scene, Armstrong
reported that passenger Trevor Bartle was experiencing severe pain in his shoulder. Shell Lake Fire along with North Memorial Ambulance arrived to the scene and proceeded to assist the Bartles and Armstrong. Armstrong said he was going the speed limit of 45 mph at the time of the accident. Christman observed the road conditions were very wet and washboarded. Both passengers received medical transport, but not Armstrong, as he had no apparent injuries. Trevor Bartle suffered a broken left collarbone and possibly a separated shoulder as a result of the accident. After questioning, Christman did not detect any indicators that Armstrong was operating while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Armstrong received a citation for driving too fast for conditions. The vehicle received severe damage to all areas and was towed from the accident scene. Frank R. Mortensen, 79, Sarona, was eastbound on CTH B in the Town of Beaver Brook driving a 2001 Ford F150 when he failed to yield to the stop sign at the intersection of CTH B and Hwy. 53. Charles D. Vogle, 63, Spooner,
was southbound on Hwy. 53 when he struck Mortensen’s vehicle in the rear end. Neither driver sustained injuries in the accident, but both vehicles received severe damage and were towed from the scene. Mortensen received a citation for failure to yield to right of way from a stop sign. If found guilty Mortensen could be fined $175 and have four points deducted from his license. Monday, June 30 Mildred L. Church, 78, Spooner, was westbound in a private parking lot on Green Valley Road in the Town of Beaver Brook. Church, driving a 2006 Honda Odyssey, swerved to avoid a pothole and hit a 2002 Jeep Liberty operated by Cassandra Peterson, 28, Shell Lake, as she was backing up. Neither driver suffered injuries in the accident, but Church’s vehicle received moderate damage to the front passenger side. Friday, July 4 Scott A. Gindt, 40, Slinger, driving a 2012 Dodge Ram, was westbound on Hwy. 48 in the Town of Birchwood, 300 feet from LaPoint Drive, when he struck a deer. Gindt sustained no injuries. The
truck suffered minor damage to the front, front passenger side and front driver side. Saturday, July 5 Kelly Quast, 44, Hayward, operating a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder, was southbound on CTH BB in the Town of Stone Lake, one-half mile from Hwy. 70, when the vehicle was sideswiped by Moses Kimani, 38, St. Paul, Minn. At the time of the accident, Quast was attempting to locate an address on southbound CTH BB and was stopped on the right side of the highway when Kimani attempted to pass her on the left side. At the same time, Quast attempted to turn left into a driveway causing Kimani to sideswipe Quast’s vehicle. Wayne Johnston, Washburn County Sheriff’s deputy, noted that the accident location is a no-passing area. Both drivers had minor passengers but no injuries were sustained in the accident. Quast’s vehicle suffered minor damage to the front driver side, Kimani’s vehicle received very minor damage to the rear passenger side. — Danielle H.

Daisies
O
ur countryside is alive with a bountiful array of wildflowers. Among them is one of my favorites, the daisy. With its white petals and yellow center, to me the daisy appears friendly and happy. When doodling, there is just something about the swish of a pen as I create the petals of a daisy that I find relaxing. Since I am not what one would call artistic, my little daisies are my own little masterpieces. Well, don’t misunderstand me, I don’t have a collection of my daisy drawings on the front of my refrigerator. In my youth, my neighborhood chum, Ruthie, and I would use the daisy to determine if a certain boy that had caught our attention at the time liked us or not.
We would pull a petal while saying, “He loves me. He loves me not.” The predictions were right at least 50 percent of the time with, “He loves me not.” As the daisy loses it luster during the hot, dry months of summer, a second favorite is appearing along the roadside, the brown-eyed Susan. We are told to, “Stop and smell the roses.” I would like to say, “Let’s slow down and enjoy all the flowers growing in fields and ditches along our roadsides.”
Shown is a cluster of daisies seen along the roadside. — Photo by Suzanne Johnson

by Mary B. Olsen One of the most amazing Cinderella stories in the last half of the 1900s is the incredible tale of the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Can you imagine the excitement for housewives when they heard about the baking contest? One person could win $50,000 for coming up with a recipe. The only requirement was the entrant had to use Pillsbury’s Best Flour. There wasn’t any other contest to compare with it. Everyone had special recipes and did quite a bit of baking. You could live in the lap of luxury with that prize money. Everyone had the competitive spirit in those days. It was announced in an advertising campaign that included the CBS radio personality Arthur Godfrey. The severalhours-long morning show aired before the soap operas. It was a kind of chatty entertainment and information program geared to women who were at home caring for children and washing and ironing as well as cooking and baking in their homes. At the time, most women didn’t work outside the home, except nurses or teachers or factory employees. Mothers were home when the kids came home
from school. Our diets were more on the heavy side, too. We loved baked things. The Pillsbury Co. originated in Minneapolis. The General Mills Co., started producing flour and named their product Gold Medal Flour when it won a medal in competition. One of the original owners was C.C. Washburn. Our county was named in his honor. It began as a small flour mill and grew. The General Mills Co. and Pillsbury were competitors for many years. The companies merged in 2001. The baking products division was sold to International Multifoods Corporation, which was acquired by Smuckers. Pillsbury sold all their restaurant brands and exited the business completely by the late 1990s. There were other icons. There is the Pillsbury Doughboy, and the Jolly Green Giant. But it was the baking contest that caused great excitement and raised the hopes of women, and even a few men. The first contest was held in 1949 as the Grand National Recipe and Baking Contest. Arthur Godfrey emceed the entrants, who were invited to attend the contest at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. There was a showroom where stoves and work space were set up for each qualifying person, in order to find the winning recipe. The ladies filled the

he last two weeks were very busy down at the Shell Lake boat landing. In the past two weeks, the inspectors checked a total of 436 boats. No vegetation was found during the inspections. Friday, July 4, was the busiest day we had these last two weeks. That day had 80 boats. There were no new questions asked these last weeks, and I’m happy to report that

Supper will be provided following the paddle. Rain date is Thursday, July 31. This is a free event. Call Lakeland Family Resource Center at 715635-4669. — from LFRC
everything went smoothly during the big holiday rush. Annual and daily permits sold in these last two weeks were very good. This week sold 76 annual permits for a total of $1,520, and we sold 150 daily permits for a total of $750. This comes to a grand total of $2,270 made in the last two weeks.

showroom with the wonderful aroma of the various foods in the ovens or on the burners. It was on the radio. It created a lot of interest. The grand prize, $50,000! The judges tasted each recipe and soon the winner was announced. The winner and champion was Theodora Smofield for her recipe, No-Knead Water-Rising Twists. There were runners-up, but that grand prize was amazing at the time. Arthur Godfrey continued to advertise the contest all during the 1950s and attended and emceed the actual bake-off contests. It was the Pillsbury Bake-Off after that first one. The winner in 1950 was Lily Wuebel for her recipe, Orange Kiss-Me Cake. In 1951, Helen Weston won with her recipe, Starlight Double-Delight Cake. In 1952, Beatrice Harlib won the prize with her recipe, Snappy Turtle Cookies. The bake-off continued to draw national attention through the years. It started on CBS and the advertising fell to other folks in broadcasting. During the 1960s it was Art Linkletter. Bob Barker was in the 1970s. In the 1980s, it was Garry Collins. In 1990 until 1992 Willard Scott took over. Alex Trebek
had it from 1994 until 1998. It continued to be headed up on CBS with Phylicia Rashad in 2000 and Marie Osmond in 2002. It was not aired in 2004 to 2006. By 2008, the Pillsbury Bake-Off was aired on the Food Network Channel. They started to hold it every other year, after that. Keegan Gerhard hosted it in 2008. In 2010, Oprah Winfrey emceed it and the winner was announced on Oprah’s show. The grand prize had leapt to $1 million. In 2012, Martha Stewart announced the winner on her show on the Hallmark Channel. It was in syndication the next year. It was not televised. The winner was announced on “The Queen Latifah Show.” The grand prize, since 1996, has been $1 million. In 2013, the winner was Glori Spriggs, with her recipe for Loaded Potato Pinwheels. Down through the years, the original excitement of the bake-off has become rather lukewarm. The company incorporated the recipes of the entrants into cookbooks, probably numbering in the millions of copies. Times are changing. I would like to bake up a batch of those Snappy Turtle Cookies just for old-time’s sake.
Second-annual Shell Lake Lions triathlon set to begin soon SHELL LAKE — The second-annual Shell Lake Lions triathlon, hosted by the Shell Lake Lions Club and organized by Front Runner USA, is set for 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, in Shell Lake.

61st-annual Heart of the North
• Rodeo • 2014 61st-annual Spooner Rodeo draws a crowd and honors one of its own – Bob Barnes The sun sets on a chapter of the Spooner Rodeo as the last charter committee member, Bob Lemoine, leads the empty saddle horse of Bob Barnes. Barnes was a rodeo contractor who was with the rodeo from humble beginnings to the rodeo that it is today. Notice the boot in the stirrup; his is a cowboy tradition symbolizing a cowboy who has moved on to that great ranch in heaven.
Joanna and Jayla Campeau with their new friend, Stephanie Fleming, met at the Spooner Rodeo when they stopped to talk to the Prescott High School sophomore about horses. Fleming was patient as she listened to the young girls asking questions about horses. To the young girls, she was living their dreams.

Sunday, July 20, 2014 Sixth Sunday After Pentecost Sir Walter Scott was a prominent novelist and poet whose writings were well known, respected and read throughout the world. As he approached death, he called for his son-in-law and said, “Bring me the Book!” Knowing that he had a massive library, he was thoroughly puzzled by the request and had no idea what the title of “the Book” might be. Realizing that there were more than 20,000 volumes in Scott’s library, he asked, “What book?” “Need you ask?” replied the literary genius. “There is only one book, the Bible!” Scott, author of many books and owner of thousands of books, spoke wisely because he knew personally the author of the book of books and the message it contained. In Psalm 19, the writer declares convincingly that “The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul.” Perfect because it contains God’s message of love, forgiveness and redemption, and in it we find everything that is necessary for our salvation. The author also wants us to know that it can be trusted, that its contents are reliable and dependable. So, he adds that “the decrees, or teachings, of the Lord can be trusted ... to revive the soul.” Only God’s word can bring joy to our hearts, give accurate guidance for our journey through life, provide light for our path, give wisdom for our decisions and eternal life through Christ.

Sister Laura King, CSJ
ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK My name is Secret, my story is this, I know it’s a story you won’t want to miss. I was heard crying for almost a week, But I played a good game of hide and go seek. When they would look I would stay out of sight, And then I would find myself lonely each night. Plus I was starving, I needed to eat, Even a crumb would have seemed like a treat. Then when they found me, they thought I was stuck, Somewhere inside of the hood of a truck. Finally they called to the shelter to ask, If someone could help with this lifesaving task. Then a nice lady walked up with some food, Although I was starving I had attitude. She talked to me softly and held out her hand, There really are people that do understand. I knew I must trust her so I got real brave, After all I’m the one she came to save. She picked me up quickly and she held me real tight, Then I started to eat and knew I was all right. I’m now for adoption and thankful to all, Especially the person who knew who to call.
Sister Laura King, CSJ, died at Carondelet Village on Tuesday, July 8, 2014. She was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Mabel Curwick King, and several siblings.

In the mid-1970s she spent two years in the Peace Corps as a volunteer in Malaysia. She also served as chaplain and worked in a halfway house for those who were chemically dependent. Later she taught English to immigrants and was involved in a variety of volunteer situations.
Laura is survived by her sister, Helen; brother Steve; nephews and nieces; cousins and friends; and the Sisters of St. Joseph and Consociates. A wake was held at Carondelet Village, 525 South Fairview, St. Paul, Minn., on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, a funeral liturgy followed. Burial was at Resurrection Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the Sisters of St. Joseph Retirement Fund, 1884 Randolph Ave., St. Paul, MN 55105. The O’Halloran and Murphy Funeral Home, St. Paul, Minn., was entrusted with arrangements.

Stone Lake
by Mary Nilssen
I hope everyone is enjoying this cool summer weather. It makes for a very enjoyable time for outside fun. And, the dragonflies are keeping up with decreasing the mosquito population! Another great Fourth of July celebration was held at the Stone Lake Lions Park. The Stone Lake Lions Club extends gratitude for the generous support that they received from all the Stone Lake area businesses, Stone Lake area residents, weekenders, visitors, and the softball and volleyball participants. Without your attendance and generous monetary support, Fourth of July in Stone Lake would be just another day at the park. The Stone Lake Music Night will resume Saturday, Sept. 6, at the Stone Lake Lions Hall, 6:30-9 p.m. The musicians and the Lions Club decided not to have a music
Barronett
night in August, as the hall would be too hot. The 13th-annual Habitat for Humanity garage sale will be starting Thursday, July 17, at the Sawyer County Fairgrounds.

Saturdays from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. In my column dated April 16, I informed everyone of the Mackey Valley School burning down. I received some information from Larry Mickel, a former student, and have passed this on to the Stone Lake Area Historical Society. Stop by the museum and see some of the pictures, etc., that he sent for everyone to view. The museum is located at the junction of Hwy. 70 and CTH AA in Stone Lake and is open Friday through Sunday from noon-4 p.m. Another gentleman by the name of Glenn Harriman gave me some information about being a student at the school. It was quite an interesting conversation I had with these two men. They also gave me their telephone numbers for those that would like to get in touch with them. Glenn can be reached at 352-799-6314 and Larry can be reached at
715-259-7541 or 321-777-8596. They would be thrilled to hear from you.

sitting by the fire and relaxing after a hard day’s work. Jerry Marsh stopped by our house Saturday morning to see if we would like to go fishing with him. Silly question, what better thing could there possibly be to do than going fishing? We went out on Granite and all caught fish, but nothing to write home about. We did have a great time on the lake anyway. That evening we all went to the rodeo. We stopped by the Queen’s Castle, which is actually the Lehmanns camper, and had a chance to meet most of the visiting rodeo royalty who were using the camper as a dressing room. That was pretty fun. The rodeo was, as usual, very exciting. I can’t imagine what those cowboys are thinking. They travel hundreds of miles to hop on a wild, angry animal for an eight-second (or shorter) ride. Some of them jump off perfectly good horses, which are speeding across the arena, to try to tie up a 300pound calf or wrestle a huge steer to the ground. Then they jump in their trucks to travel hundreds of miles to do the same
thing over again. Maybe someone should tell them that there are easier - and a lot safer - ways to make a living. Or maybe not. We love to watch the rodeo. It’s my favorite spectator sport. We were a little disappointed that Louie Herman didn’t show up in the calf-roping competition. We cheered for Jeremy Olson from Cottage Grove in that event. The trick rider was great. The bullfighting clowns are way braver than they should be, and I’m sure all the bull riders appreciate that fact considerably. One poor rider was bucked off, slammed into by the bull, and stepped on, but the clowns were right there, risking life and limb, distracting him so that the cowboy could get to the safety of the chutes. One clown was even thrown sideways by the bull, and he still ran right back into the fray until the cowboy was safe. Wow! I took hundreds of pictures. It was an exciting way to spend a few nights, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you’re enjoying our nice, cool summer. See you next time.

It’s been a pretty hectic week here in Barronett. Local residents have had way too many fun things going on. Merl and Shirley Overvig traveled up to Detroit Lakes, Minn., this past weekend to attend the wedding of Merl’s niece, Jardine. Shirley said that everyone in the wedding party, groom, groomsmen, bride and bridesmaids, wore traditional wedding clothing except that they all, including the bride, wore cowboy boots. She said that she didn’t even notice that until the bride was kneeling at the altar. The bride’s boots were a light-gray color with lots of bling attached. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something rodeo. Different and very nice. The reception was at Thumper Pond in Ottertail, Minn. Shirley said that it was a beautiful place, right on the lake, and the view was fantastic. Merl and Shirley had lots of fun, danced a couple of polkas, and enjoyed visiting with family. Last week, Shirley and her friend, Lois, traveled to Watertown to visit with Lois’ aunt Catherine. While they were there, the three ladies went to Madison to tour Oldrich Botanical Gardens. Shirley said that if you happen to travel down to Madison, a side trip to the gardens is time well spent. There are many different types of gardens to tour and they are all perfectly kept up and weed free. There is a rain garden, a wildflower garden, a sunken garden, a rose garden, a shade garden, a rock garden, a sedge meadow, a hosta garden, a Thai garden and an event garden. One of the reasons Catherine wanted to go was to take a walk in the conservatory to see if she could find a brick that was placed there in memory of her deceased husband. They didn’t find that particular brick, but, while they were in the conservatory, they saw beautiful birds, blooming orchids, carnivorous plants, coffee and cocoa bushes, and a pond with goldfish and koi. I can’t wait until I have to go to Madison for something. You can bet I’ll be taking the tour. On June 28, Merl and Shirley went to the Yellow River Folk Music Festival, which was held at Forts Folle Avoine. There were quite a few different bluegrass and folk music bands there, plus the Wild Goose Chase Cloggers. Merl and Shirley enjoyed listening to the music of Monroe Crossing, and watching the cloggers dance to Irish music. They spent most of the day and evening there, and left about a half-hour before the festival ended, luckily, because the wind came howling through and there was a torrential rainstorm just after they
left. Pat Sweet had a wonderful time on her birthday, which was July 13. She and Doug went to Lakeview in Shell Lake for a gettogether with some of the class of 1956. Pat said that there were 15 or 16 classmates and their spouses there, and that they had a very nice dinner and enjoyed visiting. She said that she hadn’t seen one of the men for 58 years, and didn’t even recognize him. Can’t imagine someone would have changed that much in just 58 years, can you? Pat also told me that the Semm brothers and sisters got together a couple of weeks ago at Janice and Larry Sutherland’s home in Shell Lake for their monthly card party/ lunch. The guests were Doug and Pat Sweet, Rocky and Pat Semm, Carol and Lee Johnson, Sandy Chartrand and Brad Semm. Some of the family played Smear, and they all ate great food and laughed a lot. The ladies, also known as the twisted sisters, were, once again, the big winners of the Smear games. I wonder if Pat will let us know if the men ever win. On Thursday, John and Pam Peterson, Anitia’s cousin and spouse, traveled down from Superior to visit with Don and Anitia. While they were there, Gary and Cheryl Lehmann and their grandson, DaShaun, and Ryan and Suzy Lehmann and Duane Pieper stopped by for lunch. Everyone enjoyed visiting with John and Pam, who don’t come to Barronett nearly often enough. Later that evening Don and Anitia attended the rodeo in Spooner. On Saturday, Bob and Ardis Lehmann came to visit Don and Anitia from the Twin Cities. Bob, Ardis, Don and Anitia went to visit Pat and DeEtte Fankhauser at their camper in Spooner that afternoon and enjoyed the wonderful buffet that DeEtte prepares for the last day of rodeo every year. The two couples attended the rodeo that evening and enjoyed it immensely. The next morning Bob, Ardis, Don, Anitia, Pat and DeEtte met at the Red Brick Cafe for breakfast before Bob and Ardis had to head back home. Aariana and Jon Carlson, who currently reside in North Dakota, are visiting grandparents Rick and Robin Theese and Skip and Liz Carlson for the summer. Needless to say, both sets of grandparents are overjoyed to have the little ones around for a while again. On Saturday evening, Rick, Robin, Aariana and Jon went to some land Rick has right outside Barronett to clean up a field. They used the wood they picked up for a bonfire, and had a very good time
Dewey-LaFollette A Burnett County 4-H Centennial Celebration will be held on Saturday, July 19, at Northwoods Crossing Event Center in Siren, located at the stoplight, starting at 6:30 p.m. There will be a short program at 7:30 p.m. We are looking for all past and current members, leaders and volunteers of Burnett County 4-H to gather and share memories, photos and relics of 4-H past and present.

ing and playing cards. Lawrence and Nina Hines and Lida Nordquist went to Richfield, Minn., Wednesday and visited at the home of Sue Harrison. Lawrence spent the afternoon golfing with several longtime friends. Clam River Tuesday Club held their annual picnic at the home of Trudy DeLawyer on Thursday evening. Fifteen people were there. Patty Haglin was honored for her years of support as a member of the club. She was presented with a special embroidered lap robe. Gerry and Donna Hines visited John and Diana Mangelsen on Friday afternoon. Bunny and Kim Johnson from Bloomington, Minn., were guests of Lida Nordquist Saturday night and Sunday. Roger Mroszak called on Hank and Karen Mangelsen Sunday afternoon.

with Bob Heinze officiating. I always admired her beautiful garden and flowers when driving by just south of Haugen where they also sold sweet corn and veggies at a stand along Hwy. 53 in front of her home. She was very active in Cheska Opera House events and will be dearly missed by all that knew her. Please put these folks in your prayers. Ray Johnson is having health issues. His wife, Deb, asked to put her double cousin, Diane Larson, in your prayers as she has ovarian cancer; and also Stephanie Gramberg has some serious health issues. Dottie White has been in the hospital and also Danny Washkuhn had surgery at Sacred Heart in Eau Claire last Monday. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Dorothy Esser of Spooner visited me last Monday evening, stopping by on her way from Rice Lake. The Spooner Class of 1950 had a small group, only nine, at the Wednesday night Lakeview eat-out together. Next get-together is Aug. 13 at Haugen Hide-Away with Cecil S. in charge. So mark that on your calendar, classmates. My cousin, Jeannine Sandau, Quartzsite, Ariz., spent overnight and some time with me on the weekend. Grandson Duane Swanson and Cacey Skarr, Menomonie, came on Saturday, just in time to mow my yard. Five-year-old twins, Autumn and Alexis, visited their
We had more rain Monday morning. I guess we can never complain of too much rain. The lawns keep growing and they are nice and green. The rodeo has gone by and I am sure it was busy and entertaining. A group of Glenview tenants went out to lunch at Tony’s in Spooner on Thursday, July 10. It was a beautiful day. Mavis and Roger Flach traveled to Prairie Farm last Thursday for a baseball tournament and grandson Blake was playing. Greg Mortenson and his sister, Janine Dent, of Louisiana, have been here recently to visit relatives in the area. Sunday night, Florence Carlson and son Ronnie from California, who is here visiting, and Melvin Mortensen, Margaret Jones and Louisa Schade had supper with Lillian Ullom.

Happy birthday to Brent Pederson on July 13. Brent and friends enjoyed a long weekend turned bachelor party for Brent. Last Monday, the grandchildren of Robyn (Swan) and Jim Seitzer of Omaha, Neb., came to Glenview and entertained us with several numbers on their violins. Also attending were Mark and Joni Parker and their daughter, Sarah, and granddaughter, Audrey, who are visiting from out East.

They had been to the rodeo in Spooner. Diane made supper for the group and she made roasted potato salad. You must roast the potatoes, add bacon along with using mayo. It sounds really good, Diane. Diane worked at the free clinic at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake on Tuesday. Friday she met with the parish ladies for lunch. Talking with Marvin Knoop, he tells us he’s cutting wood to burn next winter. This past winter, Marv tells us he thought they would have to resort to burning the furniture. The Doug Vanderhoofs attended the rodeo with their three grandchildren. Karen tells us the grandkids really enjoyed the rode. Saturday the Vanderhoofs attended the funeral for Bob Fjelstad. Butch and Loretta VanSelus attended the rodeo Thursday evening. Butch said his garden is coming along and the raspberries also made it through the harsh winter we had. The VanSeluses attended the rodeo parade on Saturday. Butch said there were only three high school bands in the rodeo parade and one was not Shell Lake or Cumberland who usually go to the parade. Cecil Melton tells us he’s doing so-so after being in the hospital. We want you to know you’re in our thoughts and prayers, Cecil. I see the Green Thumb is closing their doors. I hate to see them go out of business, as I bought my plants there each year and have had good luck. The Washburn County Fair starts Thursday, July 24. Plan to take in the talent contest. It should be great and if you need a good laugh, I’m sure someone will be onstage to tell some cute jokes. Contact persons if interested in being a part of the contest are Charlotte Thompson or Kiersten Nowaczyk. I have to retype the following. Phyllis Rath called me with the following: Billet senior drill instructor/Staff Sgt. Eric J.

was gone for 35 days attending ball games and eating out, etc. She also took care of her daughter, Venesa, who had to have emergency surgery. Her daughter Vicki Marari had a picnic for relatives and friends and Phyllis attended. Quite a number of relatives attended. Phyllis’ daughter Teresa Smekens and her honey met and brought Phyllis back to Spooner. Phyllis tells me she had a great time and was very tired. Wednesday morning I woke up and thought the wind was going to blow my house away. My two pups were a-barking and I imagine they were afraid, too. It certainly blew and this is the second time this wind has blown this hard. And all of a sudden everything was very quiet. Peaches should be coming in soon to Country Lane Pantry. Also pears and other fruits will be coming. Thursday they have their big day with lots of foods for sale along with lots of veggies. Those robins are certainly an early bird. Yes, every morning before the sky is even light, they are a-chirping. And at night before bed and it is getting dark, they sing. Must be they try to wake us up in the morning and sing us good night. Rick and Janie Lauterbach and children went to South Dakota on vacation and to see Warren’s relatives. Jan Lauterbach took care of their dogs and Janie’s cat. Beth Crosby attended the visitation for Clarence Beecroft on Thursday. Saturday she attended the funeral for Bob Fjelstad. Supper guests at Beth and Garry’s on Sunday evening were Shorty, Melissa and kids Tyler and Katie Ann. Over the Fourth of July, Chad and Ashley and three children were home at the Crosbys’ and the Doug Coyours’. Shorty, Chad and Tyler Crosby enjoyed a fishing trip to northern Minnesota. I see son Richy wasn’t able to plant the 80 that is across from Dan Schaefer’s. Just too wet and not a thing done to it. Over the Fourth of July weekend, Rick and Doreen Larson went on a four-day honeymoon to Duluth, Minn. While there they stayed in a hotel, watched fireworks, and saw a lot of interesting things. They also ate out. They packed a lot of exciting things into the four days including watching the planes take off from the water. They tell us they had a wonderful honeymoon, something they didn’t get to have when they got married. Scatter sunshine. Have a great week.
THANK YOU Thank you for all the cards and birthday wishes to celebrate my 90th birthday.
