DNR announces CWD collection stations

SPOONER– During the upcoming bow and gun deer hunting seasons the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources – in cooperation with local businesses – will be collecting lymph nodes, or deer heads, for chronic wasting disease testing. If you shoot a deer within a 10-mile radius of Shell Lake, please contribute a sample for CWD testing.

The information collected will help estab-

lish what, if any impact, CWD has had on the local deer herd and may be used in making CWD management decisions in the region.

The agency’s goal is to collect 1,000 samples to test for CWD within the 10 mile area, and the cooperation and help of hunters is critical in achieving the goal, DNR officials said.

County board to act on short-term rentals

Meeting this evening may clarify how the county will deal with the renting of residential homes, ending a long debate

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The county board of supervisors met Tuesday, Aug. 21, where they heard public comments for over two hours on the issue of short-term rentals in the county.

The county board is scheduled to act on the issue after a long examination by the county’s zoning committee, which voted earlier this summer to not change zoning regulations regarding short-term rentals.

At the meeting this evening, Wednesday, Aug. 29, at 6 p.m. in the county boardroom at the Elliot Building, public comment is not on the agenda.

Washburn County Zoning Administrator Web Macomber gave the advice to the com-

mittee to change the ordinance, however, the committee voted it down. Macomber recommended the requirement of a simple conditional use permit for renting out homes zoned residential while a majority of those on the zoning committee favored keeping the current requirement that homes must be rezoned to Recreational Residential and qualify for a CUP for rental purposes.

The issue drew focus after neighbors of a home on Long Lake, being rented to vacationers, approached the county several months ago.

Zoning committee Chair David Haessig spoke about how the committee has worked on this issue for almost two years and feels it is an insult to the committee of five people for the county board to take up the issue as a whole at this point. “To say that zoning by choosing to not act ... I don’t believe we failed as a committee,” Haessig said. “We voted See Rentals, page 3

ble spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases.

CWD occurs only in members of the cervid or deer family, both wild and captive. It has been found in wild and captive deer and elk in 18 states and two Canadian provinces.

SHELL LAKE – Although chronic wasting disease was confirmed in the state of Wisconsin in 2002, and most recently in the Shell Lake area last spring, some of the basic questions from the public about the disease continue to persist. In order to shed a little more light about the disease a list was created by the DNR that features some of the most frequently asked questions about CWD, and highlights some of the questions most frequently asked by the readers.

For the complete list of frequently asked questions and information about CWD visit the DNR Web site at dnr.wi.gov.

Where did the Washburn County CWD positive deer come from?

A 3-1/2 year-old doe was showing clinical signs consistent of a sick deer and appeared emaciated with the hair falling off. The doe was on a small parcel of private property west of Shell Lake. It was laying down and could be walked up to and touched. This deer was tested for CWD after being euthanized by the sheriff’s office. Tests at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and the National Veterinary Services Laboratories have confirmed this deer had CWD.

What is chronic wasting disease?

CWD is a nervous system disease of deer, moose and elk. It belongs to the family of diseases known as transmissi-

(even though I voted against it) to leave the ordinance as is and enforce it.”

Clay Halverson, county board second chair, said he was disappointed that the zoning committee did not come back to the county board with something to vote on as directed at a previous meeting.

“This whole thing has just turned into governmental crap. At the end of the day, this just comes down to a vote. It just goes on and on. I would want a resolution from the zoning committee dealing with this issue, setting up the parameters, to come to this board for the next meeting to vote on. That’s my recommendation.”

State Rep. Roger Rivard also weighed in on the subject. “I don’t agree with commercial enterprises operating in residential areas - that’s what zoning is all about. If you decide there is an exception, that’s when you issue a conditional use permit.”

Rivard said, “Whose property rights are we going to protect? The answer is you have to protect both.” He spoke about legislation that he introduced to the state previously and stated that the same legislation would be going to the state level in spring of 2013. The Wisconsin Realtors Association asked Rivard to come up with some legislation which is called “right to rent legislation.” He said that previously it was unable to pass because they ran out of time when the Senate recessed. The state is going to be stepping in because some municipalities

What is the previous farthest north location for a wild deer to test CWD positive?

The previous farthest north location for a wild deer to test positive was a yearling doe within the CWD Management Zone in Sauk County. The distance between the locations of the Sauk County deer and the Washburn County deer is 186 miles.

Will additional wild deer be tested?

Yes, as has been done in similar situations, the department is conducting surveillance to better assess the extent of CWD in this location. Surveillance is targeted to adult deer within a 10-mile radius of this positive deer.

once told me, ‘Don’t take anything about this job personally. Your job is to administer a process, be fair, hear both sides and execute a procedure.’ I was told not to take it personal when I took this job, but it’s hard not to take it personal when people are personally attacking my integrity and questioning my job performance.”

Macomber was questioned by Andy Eiche as to why enforcement has not been taking place.

“When we put conditions on a permit with the conditional use permit, it is to make that rental property appear as a single-family property.” Eiche quoted from a letter from the Lakes and Rivers Association. “The fundamental use of zoning is to avoid land use conflicts.”

Eiche said he was a little disturbed by the answers given by the zoning administrator. “You have to put in place some kind of enforcement. You have to have the zoning department intimately involved in that zoning process. I’m not sure I’m seeing that clearly displayed, from the comments I’ve seen come from Web Macomber’s office. You can charge what you charge for the conditional use permits to help pay for the fees.”

Macomber has said that he has a stack of complaints on his desk from this summer that he cannot even look at. He and one staff member, sometimes two, are answering phones all day. “Frankly, I don’t have the staff to be a rental cop.”

Ed Olund on Little Bear Road said he was the one that tried to get the zoning administrator started on enforcing this (no short-term rentals in his residential area) over a year ago. According to Olund, he was told by another respectable lawyer in the county that this is not only worth enforcing, but it can and should be enforced.

Hlava speaks on Macomber’s behalf “Everybody has their feelings on this topic. It’s a very emotional issue. There are people that are against it, there are people that are for it. We can do this forever. We need the board to make a decision. The last meeting I went to, Web Macomber made a presentation that made the most sensible presentation on this subject that I’ve seen yet. Is it perfect? No. But can it get us through this deadlock that we’re in? I think it can.”

Hlava added, “You have to make a decision. Some of us are going to like it and some of us aren’t going to like it. And we’re going to have to go with it from there. We can’t just keep beating and hacking up all the same stuff again.”

Regarding the Aug. 15 meeting of the board of trustees of the Shell Lake Public Library, I was there in support of the library director, Beth Carlson.

Having been a patron there for several years, I have seen the asset she is to the library, which in turn has been an asset to the community. The positive choices that Carlson has made with how she uses her budget and grants have been enjoyed by many, be it with any of the various types

of media she chooses, the furniture the kids use in their own area of the library, the wicker chairs out front in the garden area, (which I particularly have appreciated) down to the pencils and bookmarks - all of these which would continue to bring a patron back time and again. And now the board of trustees has made the rash decision to fire her.

I read the minutes of previous meetings. The minutes of the July 23 meeting

Never an accident

Nothing happens with our federal government by accident, nothing. When there are releases of information by our president and his minions that explain in detail how our military and intelligence agencies operate it is criminal. Not only is it wrong to use our elite military groups operations for political gains, it is immoral to place their lives in danger.

The White House has given information in detail on the Osama Bin Laden operation. This endangers American lives, destroys our countrys credibility and exposes our intelligence agencies operations. There is more to this release of information by the president than for political gain, it exposes in detail how our special forces operate in all their facets of operations, and it exposes our source of intelligence to danger and even death.

In turn it exposes every American to the danger of radical Islam, and all while the American news media is for the most

part silent, questioning nothing. The president is providing critical information to our enemies, not by accident but by design. Both Communism and radical Islam are watching us very closely.

We are being destroyed from within, and those that stand up for our Constitution and America are being criticized and demonized. Do you think you are safe in this nation when all this is happening and both our borders are open to drug traffic and our enemies? We are a nation ripe for destruction.

In the Bible, the book of Proverbs Chapter 4 verse 7 states, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and in your getting, get understanding.”

It is time that we all turn back to God, seeking forgiveness of our sins and asking him to heal our nation through his grace.

focused most of the attention on “personnel file and time cards.” This particular meeting seemed to be used as a discussion session as to “time card discrepancies.” It is my understanding that Carlson is a salaried employee. Perhaps the board is not aware that if you require exempt employees to work a certain number of hours and account for their work time on an hourly basis, you may jeopardize the exempt status of these employees if the accounting has the effect of treating them like hourly workers. This practice could make the employer liable for past overtime.

Also, as Carlson has been filling out her time cards as she had been directed

by Brad, and the board didn’t believe it was being done correctly, wouldn’t they have been aware of this for several years now, and it could have been something to clarify with Carlson and Brad, rather than make it an issue over which perhaps they thought they needed to fire her for? Communication being the key to success here, the board of trustees for the Shell Lake Public Library is not operating successfully.

I quote from the Shell Lake Public Library bylaws, “The board shall appoint a qualified library director who shall be the executive and administrative officer of the library on behalf of the board and under its review and direction.” The previous boards who chose Carlson, and other boards working with her over the years, obviously saw her as a qualified director who was indeed serving well in

The Obama-Biden Heartland Tour made a stop at Shell Lake last Thursday, Aug. 23, being met by a crowd of ticket supporters who have become more active and visible as the Nov. 6 presidential election nears. On the tour were Wisconsin State Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, State Rep. Nick Milroy, and candidate for the 75th Assembly seat, Stephen Smith. Former Congressman David Obey joined the tour when it got to Rice Lake and actress Tyne Daly joined the tour once it reached Eau Claire. Differences in the agendas of Democrats and Republicans were the focal point of speakers on the tour, with Rep. Barca refering to Vice President Biden’s remarks as to how the Republicans “quit pretending” they care about the middle class and women’s health care, etc. Barca said, “We know President Obama and Stephen Smith will stand up for the working middle class and build the economy from the ground up.” - Photo by Larry Samson

From this patron’s perspective, it would appear there are individuals on this board more concerned with nitpicking and micromanaging, rather than serving their community in a positive manner. There are a few of the trustees that I would not trust to have the library’s best interest at heart.

Lions hosting second-annual whitefish fry this Friday

SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake Lions hope you’ll enjoy the kickoff to this great weekend by coming to their second-annual whitefish fry.

The event, which is a major fundraiser for the club, will be held at the community center between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31. Last year’s event received high praises from those who attended, and they hope this year’s fish fry will even raise the bar a bit higher.

Once again, the all-you-can-eat menu will feature fresh Lake Superior whitefish, caught hours before being served.

The Halverson family, who has commercially fished the lake for generations out of Cornucopia, supplies the fish to the Lions Club. The cost is $9 per adult and $5 for children under 12. They hope to see you there.

In a form of friendly competition, the

Shell Lake Lions have also entered into a contest with the Spooner Lions in seeing which club can generate the largest blood drive donation. This blood drive will be held in Spooner in early September, with a sign-up sheet for those donating indicating which club they’re donating in the name of. So far, the Shell Lake Lions have had bragging rights in this competition.

There are two other club fundraisers on the horizon, the annual deer hide collection project, where the donated hides are sold and the funds are directed to the Lions Camp so some deserving kids can enjoy the outdoor experience. Look for drop-off points later this fall at Country Pride, the old Cenex and at Shell Lake Marine.

Another exciting event that’s still in the planning stage is a Lions-sponsored

FFA activities included state convention and camping/canoeing trip

SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake FFA had an involved summer ranging from going to state FFA convention to camping/canoeing down the Flambeau River.

State FFA Convention involves of students traveling to Madison. While experiencing the role of being in official dress and being in a professional setting, students receive awards that they have earned due to the hard work and dedication they have put in the past school year. Awards received included Emma Mechtel, Katrina Nyreen and Andi Bauch, state degrees; Johannah Feeney, Gold Proficiency; Emma Mechtel, three-star leader award, as well as a Silver National Chapter Award. Two students are chosen as delegates, which means that they attend meetings that help them vote for the state officers that year. While the delegates are attending their meetings, the other students explore the Capitol and talk to representatives about their jobs as well as promoting agriculture. Students that were in attendance were Emma Mechtel, former president;

Dani Kuechle, current president; Rachel Mechtel, current historian; Katrina Nyreen, former treasurer; and former FFA members Johannah Feeney and Andi Bauch.

More than 20 FFA members went canoeing down the Flambeau River and got to know each other better. Students cooked their meals over a campfire and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches while going down the river.

Students camped in tents at night and enjoyed the outdoors the duration of the trip. It was a great experience for all who participated.

The Washburn County Fair is held each year at the Washburn County Fairgrounds in Spooner. Students prepare for this event all year by working with their animals.

Any student that would like to can participate in this event. Many students receive awards, and love the joy of showing their animals. The Shell Lake FFA had six dairy/beef exhibitors, five pig exhibitors and one vegetable production exhibitor. Along with animals and proj-

College rookie

just recently moved into college, ready to begin my final year. Being a senior now, it’s hard not to reminisce about your last three years you had – the good memories, the pranks, the nights you didn’t go to bed until morning and the mistakes you made. On my campus, as I am sure it is like this on most campuses across America, you can spot the freshmen like flamingos in a crowd of pigeons.

First freshmen mistake is they all wear their lanyards, and they all think it’s cool, and they all think it’s what every college student does. A way to spot the freshmen girls is by looking at their attire. The girls show up with earrings and full makeup, and their hair looks like they spent a minimum of two hours on it.

They’re wearing their brand-new clothes that their mommy bought them while college shopping. This year, I showed up wearing athletic shorts that I bought for $7, a T-shirt, and my hair thrown up in a messy bun.

But it’s understandable that fresh fish getting their first taste of a new sea of people don’t know what to do or how to act. I was, in fact, probably the worst freshmen ever. Not so much because of mistakes, though I did make plenty, but because I easily embarrass myself. Being a single freshman, it was exciting knowing there was a fresh batch of boys to look at.

One day I was bringing my dishes down to the dorm kitchen to wash, when the

ects being judged, decorations in each animal barn are also judged and rewarded based on their appearance and how neatly they were put up by different youth groups such as FFA and 4-H groups. Throughout the fair, all participants are required to take care of their animals as if they were at home. There were around 15 total participants and helpers from the Shell Lake FFA. The Tri-County Dairy Breakfast is an event that is held either at local area farms or at the Washburn County Fairgrounds. This past year, the dairy breakfast was held at the fairgrounds. This event shows the importance of dairy farms that work hard to make sure you can buy all of your needed dairy products at the store. There is a kiddy barn that is available where students bring younger animals that both parents and children enjoy. Many FFA members participated in this event and brought animals for others viewing enjoyment.

Officer Retreat was for the new officer team for 2012. Officers get to know each other better and work on their team-building skills. This past year, the officer team traveled to Hunt Hill and stayed in a cabin overnight, where they prepared for the upcoming year. The officers had meetings each day where they talked about upcoming events and each individual’s role as an officer. Students bonded while enjoying free time and participating in the activities that FFA advisor Mrs. Bos had prepared. The new Shell Lake FFA officer team includes Dani Kuechle, president; Allysha Feeney, vice president; Steph Stetler, student advisor; Maddy Dennis, secretary; Bryan Knoop, treasurer; Ryan Melton, sentinel; Rachel Mechtel, historian; and Taylor Bauch, reporter. — from Shell Lake FFA

guy I had been crushing on came out of his floor and was right behind me on the stairs. Either my head was too full of hormones or I batted my eyes too much that it obstructed my view and I went tumbling down the stairs with a tub of dishes crashing around me. “Are you OK?” he asked. I could see he was trying to hold back his laughter. “I’m fine, I’m fine! Really, I’m ... ” and I mumbled the rest and walked away trying to avoid eye contact.

One of the mistakes I made, and learned from, as a freshman was the new freedom to skip classes. I skipped one of my classes so much that I failed the class and had to retake it as a junior. And it just so happens that that professor turned out to be my academic advisor after I switched majors. But now, we are on first-name basis, and we joke about my stupid freshman mistakes.

One of my favorite journalists went to college, hated it and then said he spent the rest of his life unlearning everything he learned in college. There are some days where I truly believe that it is the mistakes and choices I made that have turned into the life lessons I will remember. I couldn’t tell you half the things my professors said, or the subjects of the hundreds of papers I’ve written, but I could tell you the things I’ve learned from the memories with friends and the lessons I’ve kept from my mistakes.

Tribes and DNR disagree over wolf hunt

by Rich Kremer Wisconsin Public Radio

STATEWIDE - Wisconsin's Indian tribes and the Department of Natural Resources are disagreeing on how treaty rights apply to the state's fall wolf hunt.

According to Anishinaabe teachings, the wolf is a brother to original man and is a sacred part of tribal culture. Mic Isham is a Member for the Lac Courte Oreille's Tribal Council. He says the wolf is as sacred to native people as the Holy Spirit is to Catholics. “The wolf was put down here on the earth to be our companion and our teacher, and as the wolf goes, we go. The wolf is our brother so if the wolf was in peril, we'd be in peril. If the wolf is doing well, we'd be doing well.”

Last year, the state legislature ordered the Department of Natural Resources to organize a state wolf hunt to control the population and reduce predations on livestock. The target is 350 wolves. Now the state and tribes disagree on how treaty rights apply here.

The DNR says it has the authority to regulate wolves, but must share the wolf harvest in ceded territories. Jim Zorn of the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission disagrees. Zorn says, “Here, the tribes are taking the view that their treaty rights in the ceded territories for wolves involve the presence of the wolves rather than their killing.”

He says that means Wisconsin tribes must protect the wolves’ recovery until they retain their entire original habitat. “It is the presence of the wolf that is what is necessary for the tribe to really continue their culture and their life ways as they believe they have reserved in the treaties.”

Zorn says it is too early to know if the tribes will take legal action against the state to block the wolf hunt. The intertribal task force that deals with treaty rights is scheduled to meet Sept. 6.

follow the regulations. However, the rental in question was not following any regulations, and he was concerned about site supervision, the lake environment, neighborhood courtesy, sanitation and enforcement. “I think we need to do site inspections and make sure that these facilities are up to the capacity that is being advertised and that the guests are properly informed. I think the neighbors should have input before the conditional use permits are issued, because neighbors can point out things that might not be obvious to the authorities here in Shell Lake.” Journey spoke about how his neighbor that is running the resort is only now applying for a CUP and there is no penalty. “I don’t like having to be the vigilante that is the person out in the field. I am not necessarily against shortterm rentals. I just see it as running out of control at the moment. They are being put in the wrong places and are not supervised properly.”

Tim Brabek, county board supervisor, questioned Macomber directly. “We’ve been at this for what? Two years?” Macomber answered about a year and a half. Brabek continued. “It’s gone both ways. What’s going on? You have issued some permits, haven’t issued others. As they say, we’re going to get sued either way. You’ve written citations. I assume you are going to pursue them in court.”

To which Macomber answered, “I don’t know at this point yet.” Brabek then asked, “Then what’s the point of writing a citation? We’ve had this discussion many years ago. Why after writing citations, is there no pursuing? Let the judge decide whether we are right or wrong, because that’s where it’s going to wind up. Or we can drag this on for another year and a half.”

Greg Krantz, county board supervisor, asked. “Does the hang-up seem to be rezoning properties in residential?” Macomber said that yes, that is where the tension seems to start. Krantz asked why not just issue conditional use permits. Macomber answered, “That is why I wanted to put it in every district, but those who believe that we should leave it out of residential (as a solution) are sadly mistaken. It will just force it further underground.”

“Or force it into the open,” Krantz replied. Macomber and Krantz went on to discuss the current ordinance that makes residential zoned properties apply for rezoning before they can come request a CUP. Macomber and Krantz both agreed that they would rather eliminate the requests for rezoning and simply deal on a case-by-case basis with conditional use permits.

Little Bear Road controversy Michael Gibbs, center of the controversy on Little Bear Road in Long Lake since last year, spoke about how their property only had five renters last year.

“All of which were families, caused no

problems, our problems were our neighbors. We have a neighbor who put a sign up on a sheet of plywood with orange lettering saying “short-term rentals are illegal.” Not only did he harass with the sign, but he also harassed with words.

He threatened them and stated they would be part of the lawsuit.” Gibbs spoke about not being able to rent out his home there anymore. “We did lose a civil lawsuit because of a covenant, because we have a restricted covenant that was not uncovered by the abstract company, and that’s been rectified, but I just wanted to state that it isn’t always the renters. It’s the neighbors.”

Pat Gibbs spoke about the neighborhood she lives in. “This is a resort county.

This is a resort lake. And on Long Lake it seems a few disgruntled people are trying to make rules for the whole county.

There are approximately 1,059 parcels on that lake. Seventy percent of those go to a different address. So when they talk about paying taxes and paying their fair share, about 24 percent of the people are making all the rules, getting all the benefits, and 75 percent of us are paying the largest rate. I had the unfortunate opportunity of being reassessed, and my property assessment went up $44,000, so then I went in and started looking at some of the assessments of some of my neighbors ... I have found that some are severely underassessed. And most recently at a 53.6-percent reduction on taxes on someone that hasn’t paid their taxes in four years. I think we have a little group on Little Bear Road that needs some looking into, in ethics and in some of the proceedings they are doing through their public offices.”

Follow Shell Lake ordinance?

Eiche, county board supervisor and Shell Lake city council president, spoke about how Shell Lake has dealt with the CUPs and ordinances in the city of Shell Lake.

“Just simply use the CUP that’s an effective CUP,” he said. He went on to give examples of how the city places restrictions on short-term rentals with the CUPs. Every rental property has to display a sign showing that it is being rented and have a number to call in case of incident on the property. The city now only limits the amount of people that can stay at the property according to the septic system capacity and the number of bedrooms. CUPs not being followed are complaint driven, according to Eiche.

He said no one is being asked to go count how many people are sleeping in a rental unit, but if you have a problem with a neighboring rental, you can call and complain, and you are guaranteed a callback within 12 hours.

“We simply need a CUP that is an effective CUP,” he said.

White-tailed deer chronic wasting disease public meetings scheduled

NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - Hunters and landowners interested in learning about chronic wasting disease testing, handling and disposing of deer carcasses, and the baiting and feeding ban now in place, are encouraged to attend one of the public meetings scheduled for Siren and Rice Lake. The deer baiting and feeding ban covers the entire counties of Polk, Burnett, Barron and Washburn.

At an initial CWD public informational meeting in Spooner this past March, area resident Bill Taubman encouraged the Department of Natural Resources to establish a CWD Citizens Advisory Committee that could act as the liaison between the DNR and area citizens. As a result, a CWD Citizens Ad-

visory Committee was formed and met several times this summer. One of their primary goals is to share information about CWD with the public.

The CWD Citizens Advisory Committee will host informational meetings at the following locations: • Rice Lake, Bear Paw Company, Thursday, Sept. 6, 7 p.m.

• Siren, Burnett County Government Center, Thursday, Sept. 13, 7 p.m.

No registration required. There will be question and answer time at each meeting. For more information about CWD in NW Wisconsin, contact Mark Rasmussen, DNR CWD biologist in Spooner at 715-635-4023 or go to fyi.uwex.edu/ chronicwastingdiseasenwwisconsin/ – submitted

wades and snorkels in area streams, reads natural history, and collects fossils and other natural history objects.

This presentation will dive into the world of the raptors of the Great Lakes, including hawks, eagles, osprey, and owls. What is a raptor? How can I identify one from the other? Where do these magnificent birds of prey live? What value do raptors have to various ecosystems?

All of these questions will be answered in addition to a discussion on the migratory patterns of these birds with subjects such as field marks and flight profiles.

This program will begin at 10 a.m.

However, what could be better to start off the morning than a tall stack of hotoff-the-griddle specialty or regular pancakes? In addition to the pancakes, there will be sausage, fresh fruit, and beverages. So, join them at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary for a memorable morning exploring the outdoors, starting with breakfast.

will meet at Hunt Hill and carpool to Hawk Ridge. A program will be given by a Hawk Ridge educator at the site and then participants will have time to observe on their own. There is also an optional program beginning at 1 p.m. by ornithologist Laura Erickson who will also be there for a book signing. This special event is one that should not be missed! Preregistration and payment required by Thursday, Sept. 20.

Hunt Hill/from page 7

Hawk Ridge field trip Saturday, Sept. 22, 8 a.m. – late afternoon. Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary will be coordinating a carpool and program at Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory in Duluth. Preregistration and payment required by Thursday, Sept. 20.

Hawk Ridge is one of North America’s best places to experience the spectacle of the fall raptor migration. Migrating birds, including raptors and passerines, concentrate in impressive numbers at the western tip of Lake Superior. Some travel from as far away as the Arctic and pass through Duluth on their way to their wintering areas to the south. Migrants funnel down the North Shore along the ridges that overlook the city. On a good day, visitors may see hundreds - even thousands - of birds flying by.

Participants for the Hunt Hill program

Going Back: Plant and Paddle Eco Tour Saturday, Sept. 29, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary welcomes master herbalist and experienced paddlesport guide Gigi Stafne, for a Plant and Paddle Eco Tour at Hunt Hill. Preregistration and payment required by Friday, Sept. 21.

Stafne is an amazing educator and bank of botanical knowledge. She pioneered and created the first natural medicine clinic in West Central Wisconsin, The Center for Healing Arts, then founded an affiliated botanical medicine school. Later, she created a United Plant Savers Botanical Sanctuary and Partners in Education project in Wisconsin, as well as a chapter of Herbalists Without Borders. In 2007, Stafne was awarded the North American Medicinal Plant Conservation Award. Currently she teaches through Green Wisdom and operates Wild Earth Eco Tours.

Participants will enjoy exploring the shores of the secluded lakes of Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary by canoe with Stafne. They will discover the medicinal uses of the area’s wetland plants and trees. Beginning and experienced paddlers are welcome. Hunt Hill will provide canoes, paddles and lifejackets.

Preregistration and payment required by Friday, Sept. 21. – from Hunt Hill

meat from your animal

How will the additional sampling be done?

The surveillance will primarily rely upon obtaining tissue samples from hunter-killed deer during the 2012 hunting seasons. Hunters will be able to bring deer for disease testing to cooperating deer registration stations, meat processors and taxidermists. The specific location of these sampling stations was available in mid-August. In addition, to supplement our hunter harvest sample collection we are working with local car-killed deer removal contractors; issuing permits to landowners willing to collect samples in advance of the 2012 deer season; as well as ongoing removal of any sick deer reported by the public.

How is CWD transmitted?

Current information indicates that CWD may be transmitted both directly through animal-to-animal contact and indirectly from a CWD-prion contaminated environment. Recent studies indicate that CWD prions exist in the saliva, urine and feces of infected deer. Prions shed from an infected individual bind to the soil and can persist there for long periods of time.

Has any previous CWD surveillance been done in this area?

Yes, two rounds of CWD surveillance have been conducted in Washburn and surrounding counties.

The first took place in 2002 following the first identification of CWD within Wisconsin. A second round of surveillance was completed during 2007 and 2008. No deer tested positive for CWD or bovine tuberculosis during these previous rounds of testing.

Specifically, during these previous two rounds of CWD surveillance in Washburn, Barron, Burnett, and Polk counties, a grand total of 3,683 wild deer have been tested. A breakdown by county is as follows: Washburn (1,105), Barron (784), Burnett (958), and Polk (836).

Will the deer feeding and baiting regulations change?

Yes, state law requires that a baiting and feeding prohibition be established for the entire county in which a CWD-positive game farm or free-ranging deer is found; the entire county prohibition also applies to any county falling within a ten-mile radius of the positive deer. Effective May 10, 2012, a baiting and feeding ban is in effect for Washburn, Barron, Burnett and Polk counties.

Will the planned deer seasons for this fall change?

No, the deer seasons and antlerless quotas recommended for this fall will not be changed with the discovery of this CWD-positive deer.

What should I do if I observe a deer that appears sick or is acting unusual?

Landowners and other persons within the 10-mile surveillance zone, or other areas in Polk, Burnett, Washburn and Barron County, who observe a deer that appears sick and/or is displaying unusual behavior are encouraged to contact the department quickly. If the landowner or person is capable, the department will provide a verbal authorization to euthanize the deer. To contact the DNR call the info line at 888-936-7463. During the fall hunting seasons, hunters who encounter a deer that appears sick are encouraged to harvest the deer. The hunter should attach a valid carcass tag and transport it to one of the DNR-designated sample collection sites. The hunter will then be issued a replacement tag. If a hunter does not have a valid deer carcass tag, they can contact DNR for verbal authorization to shoot the deer. At that time, the hunter will be instructed to bring the deer to one of the collection sites to have the deer tested.

Who else has DNR been working with on this situation?

Since this is the first positive CWD wild deer test result in the ceded territory, DNR has been communicating with tribal leaders and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission. In addition, DNR has been

If we let nature take its course, won’t deer become completely resistant to CWD? Researchers have investigated for genetic resistance to this disease within white-tailed deer. Unfortunately, no white-tailed deer genotypes have been identified with complete resistance to CWD. Researchers have found an uncommon genotype that appears to allow deer to survive longer with CWD than other genetic types, but they still eventually die from CWD. This research also implies that deer with this genotype also have more time to expose other healthy deer to CWD.

in communication with local community leaders, USGS National Wildlife Health Center, Conservation Congress members, USDA Veterinary and Wildlife Services, and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Why should people care about the disease?

As this newest CWD-positive test result demonstrates, CWD is a statewide issue.

Projections based on current Wisconsin CWD data suggest that CWD will ultimately reduce the number of deer available each year for hunter harvest. A healthy deer herd is important to our hunting heritage. Wisconsin has more than 600,000 deer hunters who regularly harvest 300,000 to 400,000 deer annually. Deer hunting provides more than 7 million days of recreation every year and annually generates more than $500 million in retail sales and over $1 billion in total impact to the state’s economy. A healthy deer herd is critical to the state’s economy.

Does CWD pose a health risk to humans?

CWD has never been shown to cause illness in humans. For several decades CWD has been present in wild populations of mule deer and elk in western states.

During this time there has been no known occurrence of a human contracting a prion disease from eating venison from a CWD-infected deer. Additionally, here in Wisconsin, the incidence rate of Creutzfeldt Jacob disease, the prion disease in humans, is detected at the same rate as in the rest of the world, about one in a million.

The Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services recommends that people not consume meat from deer that test CWD-positive. Some simple precautions should be taken when field dressing deer in areas where CWD is found including: • Wear rubber gloves when field dressing your deer.

• Bone out the meat from your deer.

• Minimize the handling of brain and spinal tissues.

• Wash hands and instruments thoroughly after field dressing is completed.

• Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes of harvested animals. (Normal field dressing coupled with boning out of a carcass will essentially remove all of these parts.)

• Request that your animal is processed individually, without meat from other animals being added to

Can CWD be transmitted to livestock?

To date, there has been no documented occurrence of livestock contracting CWD from free-ranging deer or elk. Furthermore, in long-term studies where cattle have been housed in pens with CWD-infected deer, transmission has not occurred. And, even with experimental oral exposure to CWD, cattle did not develop the disease.

In studies where cattle were infected with CWD by direct injection into the brain, many of the cattle developed the prion disease. These experiments show that CWD can be transmitted to cows, but infection is highly unlikely via natural forms of transmission. There are similar findings from CWD infection studies with sheep and goats. Farmed deer and elk, however, are susceptible to CWD and farmed cervid CWD management is as important as wild deer CWD management in our state.

Oh so close! Boys drop season opener 35-25

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE-The world champion boxer Jack Dempsey once said, “A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t. “That best describes the 2012 Shell Lake football team. Sixteen players took to the field on Friday, Aug. 24, to take on their old conference rivals, the Turtle Lake Lakers, in their first nonconference matchup. Conference realignment has separated these two teams, but they both played it like it was still a conference game.

On their first possession of the game, Sam Muska ran 64 yards and a touchdown to put Shell Lake up 6-0 after the extra point kick went wide. Quarterback Sam Livingston ran 21 yards to put the Lakers back on the board. This time the extra point was good and Shell Lake led 13-0 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Turtle Lake moved the ball down inside the red zone before the Laker defense got tight. It was third and goal on the 1-yard line and the Laker defense stopped the runner short one foot from the goal line. With fourth down, the Turtle Lake quarterback, Tanner Arnold, went back to pass, then he changed his mind and ran, only to be stopped on the 1-yard line. Shell Lake went into the locker room with a 13-0 lead.

Shell Lake started the second half out driving down to the 27-yard line where they turned the ball over on a fumble.

Turtle Lake scored from the 15-yard line and it was 13-6. Turtle Lake came back and scored again. They were stopped short on the two-point conversion, making the game 13-12. Livingston con-

nected to Wyatt Carlson on a 28-yard pass and Shell Lake was up 19-12. Turtle Lake answered back with a touchdown and two-point conversion, taking the lead, 20-19. With five minutes left in the game, Shell Lake took the lead again. On fourth down, AJ Denotter ran the ball over from the 2-yard line. On the twopoint conversion, he was stopped and Shell Lake had a slim five-point lead 2520. The game was not over. Turtle Lake quickly moved the ball and scored with only three minutes left on the clock. The

Lakers did not hang their heads and give up; they knew what they had to do.

Starting on the 33-yard line, they moved the ball 57 yards on a screen pass down to the 10-yard line. Denotter ran the ball down to the 3-yard line, on third and goal, they went to the pass, a quick pass into the end zone. Turtle Lake read it and intercepted the pass, running it back for a touchdown. Shell Lake lost 35-25 in a close game where they never gave up, in a game where they got up when they couldn’t.

Shell Lake will travel to Grantsburg in their first conference game on Friday, Aug. 31, the night of the blue moon.

Anything could happen.

AJ Denotter drives through a hole created by tackle Isaac Cusick and guard Beau Skluzacek. Shell Lake had 284 yards on the ground and 65 in the air but it was not enough as they fell 35-25 to Turtle Lake on Friday, Aug. 24, at Shell Lake. Shell Lake was in position to win the game with third and goal on the 1-yard line when they threw an interception with 48 seconds left.

Runner in Project America to pass through area

SPOONER — On Sunday, Sept. 2, Mike Ehredt, a marathon runner who is on a 79-day journey, will make a stop in Spooner.

Ehredt, conducting his second Project America Run, is running in honor of fallen soldiers from the Afghanistan War. He runs a marathon a day, stopping every mile to plant a flag inscribed with the name of a fallen American soldier.

His route runs from north to south and began in International Falls, Minn. He plans to conclude the run at the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston, Texas, on Veterans Day. Ehredt’s first run took place in 2010 and served the purpose of remembering fallen soldiers in the Iraq War. His route then took him across the country from the Pacific Ocean in Astoria, Ore., to the Atlantic Ocean in Rockland, Maine. — with submitted information from the Spooner Area Chamber of Commerce

Signs of autumn are everywhere. Leaves are taking on different shades and some are showing some color.

The sumac are gone. Fall raspberries are bearing and the apples on the Haralson apple tree are falling. I usually don’t pick them yet as they are a winter variety.

Farmers markets are busy with fresh homegrown vegetables.

Well, has everyone been taking in the Minnesota State Fair? Yes, it’s on now and the first day that WCCO was there one of the announcers had a tray of what they called lamb fries. Those lamb fries were something else. They were testicles from the lambs. Another state fair food was Mountain Rocky oysters, which didn’t go over well. I remember Doc Thannum with the Rocky Mountain oyster, he would go to West Bros. and they would castrate the bull calves, making them steers and he talked of how good these were. After a while I did find out what they were from and myself, I’ll just pass on the lamb fries and the Rocky Mountain oyster. Maybe, if I didn’t know what they were, I just might like them.

That Amelia Santaniello on WCCO had to milk a cow by hand. Well, she couldn’t get any milk and I tried my best to cheer her on with no luck. Come on Amelia.

Last Tuesday, Rory and I went to Penny and Jeff Ladd’s and the three munchkins. Paula Cramer also came.

Then we made salsa. I forgot my recipe at home and Penny couldn’t find hers so we put in a little of this and that and it tastes good.

Penny finished driver’s education on Aug. 20 so she did get a little time before school starts, Aug. 28. Kids will come Sept. 4 for another year.

Talking with Diane Hulleman we find on Tuesday, Diane went to see her friend Barb from Lakeview Medical Center who had her hip replaced and before that her hubby died and she had a four-way bypass. Diane took some good homemade goodies to her and her friend Robin also visited and brought things she had made. They found Barb in great spirits.

Later Diane and Robin say they poked around in Rice Lake. Thursday Ginny and Diane did corn for the year and later Diane went to a nurse’s home in Glencoe. Her honey had just bought the lime business and he was killed on Monday.

He was only 29 and leaves a wife and three children all under age 5. Diane says she never saw so many people at his prayer service on Thursday evening. His funeral was on Friday. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

Friday, Diane and Janet Nelson and two other ladies went to the Red Barn for the play “Noises Off.” Diane’s minister was in the play, Jack Starr.

Saturday, Diane and Robin and Robin’s aunt and cousin were in Siren at the Methodist Church for an information meeting on a trip these gals want to take.

Diane says she’s never seen Niagara Falls, but will be enjoying the trip by bus.

Thursday, Diane was at Ginny Schnell’s and there was a garage sale near Ginny’s house so they went. Diane bought a spiral stairs and Ginny brought it up. The two girls huffed and puffed and had a time to get it off the truck. It’s to go in Diane’s barn later this fall.

I mowed my lawn after over two weeks, as it was so dry. My sister, Dot Gudlin of New Berlin, told me Saturday that she just had her lawn mowed and it hadn’t been mowed for six weeks due to the dry weather. It’s very dry in our yard, turning brown.

Saturday, at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s, were their children Jim from Stacey, Minn., Lisa, Marjorie, Charlie, Noel and Pattie Beaufeux and son Kyle, and Scott and Kristen Carl and kids. They celebrated Marjorie and Brianne Williams birthdays. Marjorie will be leaving before long for the U of M where she plans to major in journalism.

The Mark Hansens and the Jarrett Casselliuses were up for the weekend at Carl and Betty Meisters.

The next Town of Dewey Board meeting will be Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the Dewey Town Hall at 8 p.m. Everyone welcome.

Talking with Jim Toll, he tells us the corn is now dented and the stalks are also drying down. Dave was up for the weekend with his pa, Jim Toll. Talking with Jim, I asked him about the great

election coming in November. “Well,” he tells us, “it’s hard to decide.” He says he’s going to vote for the best of the worst.

Get-well wishes go out to Evelyn Melton who has an ear infection. Sunday, her daughter Vicki Trott was over and cheered up her mom and dad, Cecil, with playing cards. Hope you feel better soon, Evelyn.

Vacation Bible school was held at the Faith Community Church in Danbury this past week. The Faith Community Church of the Nazarene put on a huge meal for the people in Danbury.

Loretta tells me they now have 30 baby pigs with three more pigs to come in.

That’ll keep Butch and Loretta busy.

Talking with Sandy Redding, we find she is doing quite well. Bernard, on the other hand, isn’t feeling good from his chemo. Their daughter was up to take Sandy to the doctor in Eau Claire this past week. A couple of weeks ago, Sandy and her honey were at Robin and Robyn Major’s for a reunion with about 25 people attending. Please remember to keep Bernard and Sandy in your special thoughts and prayers.

A while back I had in my column that I wasn’t going to can a thing this summer. I’d had it with canning and have lots canned downstairs. Well, I guess I lied as today I was canning tomatoes from son Richy’s garden.

Talking with Karen Vanderhoof, we find Doug and Karen are now working

on putting in a cement pit. She says the cement is all poured now. I’m sure Doug will like the pit as it certainly cuts down on hauling those nutrients every day.

Karen tells us she thinks milking in a parlor is wonderful as she does all the milking, Doug does the feeding and Mike Roe does the calves. Kyle Vanderhoof has sheep at his grandpa and grandma’s in Amery, Cass and Nadine Vanderhoof. He enjoys raising sheep.

Good for you Kyle, we should have more young people interested in farming.

Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan, were home at Garry and Beth Crosby’s for the weekend. Chad is building a patio under the Crosby’s deck. The Crosby brothers, Shorty and Tom, are now busy chopping corn. Some of the corn is just too dry to chop, I am told.

Forgot some birthdays so I will wish them many happy birthdays.

Happy birthday to Christian Lawrence, to Ryan Hanson and to Nathaniel Rawling, all on Aug. 30.

Happy anniversary to Don and Joanne Dahlstrom on Aug. 30, making it 23 years together. Have a wonderful day.

Happy birthday to Morgan Crosby on Aug. 27, when Morgan turns 2 years old.

Have a fun day Morgan.

Scatter sunshine.

Have a great week.

County gets star treatment

PAGE 18 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - AUGUST 29, 2012

WASHBURN COUNTY - The spotlight is on Washburn County this weekend in a television special produced by “Discover Wisconsin.”

The show, titled “Washburn County Northwoods Hospitality,” is scheduled for its final broadcast September 8 and 9.

It will air Saturday, Sept. 8, at 10 a.m. on Fox Sports North, and Sunday, Sept. 9, at 5:30 p.m. on WDIO-TV 10 Superior/Duluth and WQOW-TV 18 Eau Claire at 6:30 p.m. It will also be seen regionally in eight Midwestern states including broadcasts Saturday, Sept. 8, at 10 a.m. on Comcast SportsNet Chicago and on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 9 a.m. on WITI TV-6 in Milwaukee.

Highlights of the program include an excursion on the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad, the Heart of the North rodeo in Spooner, the Namekagon National Scenic Riverway near Trego, the Stone Lake Cranberry Festival, the Woodcarving Museum in Shell Lake, the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum in Spooner, the Railroad Museum also in Spooner and the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona.

The Washburn County program was written and produced by Jim Dick.

“Washburn County may be known for its fishing and great outdoors activities, but there are some unique museums and fun events throughout the county,” Dick said. “And if you’re a train buff, you have to board the Wisconsin Great Northern.”

The show, taped in 2010, was filmed by longtime host Stephanie Klett prior to her appointment by Gov. Scott Walker to Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism.

This “Discover Wisconsin” episode was made possible by the Washburn County Tourism Association under the leadership of Executive Director Michelle Voight.

“Discover Wisconsin” is the nation’s longest-running tourism program, celebrating its 25th anniversary throughout 2012. “Discover Wisconsin” can be seen statewide on Fox Sports North Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. For more on this and other episodes, or the broadcast schedule in other areas, visit discover wisconsin.com. – submitted

I love the Rutabaga Fest! The weather was just perfect this year – a little hot watching the parade on Sunday, but great the rest of the weekend. It’s so much fun seeing and visiting with people that I normally don’t see all year. And the food is terrific. Every year I think I will start with a different food booth, but every year my first stop is the Knights of Columbus booth for a hot pepper sandwich. Good thing it’s a four-day festival.

I think I must have hit almost every food booth by the time it was over.

Quite a few residents of Cumberland ECU and volunteers attended the play “Canterville Ghost” at ETC on Tuesday evening. The residents were Alice M., Violet C., Rita W., Millie C., Jeanne N., LaVonne M., Eline W., Joyce S. and Willard P. The volunteers were John and Mary Schwanke, Jim and Mary Kerr, Bruce and Ruth Holmes, Marilynn Shaurette, Paul and Mary Fottum, Tonja Metnik and Kari Owens. Everyone had a wonderful time and thought it was a perfect way to spend the evening.

Actually, the ECU residents have had a very busy couple of weeks. They were at the threshing bee in Turtle Lake last weekend, had lunch at the Rutabaga Fest this weekend, and watched the parade and greeted the queens on Sunday. My goodness – they are a bunch of social butterflies.

Tru and I completed our second-annual Rutabaga fun walk/run on Saturday morning. We don’t break any records, we “get ‘er done.” We are making this a tradition – she rides in a stroller now, and in a few years she will probably be pushing me in a wheelchair. Turnabout is fair play.

Tinille Lehmann and Chris Demars did the Rutabaga run. Tinille came in second in her age group, and Chris came in eighth. He was a little disappointed in that, but this is the first time he has even run a race. I thought that was pretty good for his first try. I bet next year he will be training for it.

Jerry and Carol Hefty, Richard Pieper and Delores Schultz came over to watch the parade with us and, of course, to have a piece of pie and ice cream at the Legion afterward. The parade was great – the honor guard, the marching bands, the pretty girls on the floats, horses, kids on rollerblades, kids with squirt guns, even some jugglers and unicycle riders this year. Little Tru was sitting with us too, and she had a bag full of candy that her mom, dad, Aunt Tinille and Chris were picking up for her. Just what she needs – extra sugar to give her a little more energy.

Jesse and Rachel Adams hosted their annual family and friends get-together after the parade on Sunday. Jesse and the boys had been to Canada earlier this month and brought home fish that they

fried and baked for their guests. I tried both kinds, they were both delicious, but, of course, I liked the fried best. Why go for healthy when you can have something dripping with fat.

They had one of those beanbag toss games in the lawn, and Jesse and I played partners against Ciara and Trevan. (Jesse told me how to spell the names, so if they are not right, blame him.) The reason I mention the game is that I had never played it before, and thanks to skill and cunning on Jesse’s part, we won. I didn’t contribute much to the win, I think maybe I hit the board four times. Anyway, I can honestly say that I have now played that game and have never been beaten. Perfect record.

Anitia and Don Lehmann had a house full of kids this past weekend. Their grandchildren, Lauren, Emma and DaShaun, visited them. Grandma Anitia took them to the Rutabaga Festival one day, and they loved every minute of it.

The highlight of the weekend, though, was at the farm. Ryan and Suzy had a heifer freshen, and the kids saw the calf being born. That’s pretty exciting stuff for town kids.

Shirley and Merl Overvig have had a very busy week with kids too. Shirley’s grandson, Drake Vocovich, visited from Tuesday through Saturday and spent most of the time stacking wood in the shed. Sounds like a fun time, doesn’t it?

Think of all the money he saved by exercising that way instead of going to the gym.

On Saturday, Merl and Shirley went to River Falls to attend a birthday party for 5-year-old Addison Lemke. After the party, which involved pontoon rides on the St. Croix River, Addison and her sisters, Kalea and Elizabeth, came back to Barronett to spend some time with Grandma and Merl. Needless to say, the girls weren’t asked to carry wood. They got to do fun stuff, like attend the parade on Sunday. They will be visiting until Wednesday, and I’m sure their grandma has lots more fun stuff planned for them.

I think Roger Dutilly may have set a record for pie baking in the area. So far this summer he has made 27 pies, most of which he gives away. Do you think he missed his calling? Maybe he should apply for a job with Tom at the Cumberland Bakery. I have had some of Roger’s pies, and I can honestly say that he makes the best crust I have ever eaten.

He even gave me the recipe, but it never tastes the same when I make it. Anyway, if anyone out there, who is not a professional pie maker, has made more than 27 pies so far this summer, we’d sure like to hear about it.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Hope you had a wonderful week. See you later.

Beautiful autumn with lots of sun and nice breeze. I’m sure we will experience some of Isaac, like wind and rain. I’m glad I’m not in the south now, aren’t you?

Our community extends sincere sympathy to the family of Harlan Johnson of Shell Lake who passed away in Minneapolis, Minn. He leaves to mourn his wife, Mary; and two brothers, Darryl and Kevin; their wives and children, and step-father, Bill Rylander.

Grandchildren keep us young.

Arlys Santiago golfed in the Big Ripley 25th golf tournament at the Butternut Golf Course on Saturday and enjoyed a potluck dinner after golf.

A group from Glenview went out to eat at the new Family Restaurant on Friday, Aug. 24, noon. We were very much satisfied.

On Friday afternoon, Larry Sampson came to Glenview to show colored photos he has taken of wildlife and the prom royalty. He really has a talent taking pic-

tures.

Deb Nebel came Saturday, Aug. 25, to do yoga exercises with us. It’s very interesting. Thanks, Deb. Sunday afternoon, the family of Laura Reitzel was here to wish her a happy birthday with cake and ice cream. Her sister is here from Florida. On Monday, we will celebrate again as that is her actual 97th birthday. Happy birthday, Laura.

Some people took in the Rutabaga Festival activities in Cumberland. The big parade was on Sunday afternoon.

The John and Mary Marschall family had a crew on Sunday, Aug. 26, to repair their roof. Jessie and Darryl Marschall and Wealthy Marschall, Sara and Kyle Mathison and the Mathison family, Brent and Tom Saffert and boys. They enjoyed a picnic dinner after all their hard work, which makes it all worthwhile.

Town and Country Days are coming this weekend with the parade Sunday afternoon. Plan to attend these activities.

The Queen’s Tea will be held at Salem Lutheran Church on Sunday, Sept. 2, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Sue and Larry Winner, of Solon Springs, were at the Minnesota State Fair with a booth for the Lion’s Club on diabetes.

A comeback story

by Sylvia Oberle A few days ago, an eagle stood in my neighbor’s pasture feeding on something large. I opened the car door softly. Before I could get a photo, it flew away with the prey clutched in its talons. I thought it might be a kitten, but my neighbor said it was a squirrel. That sounded better to me since my bird book said eagles like to hunt for fish, rodents, ducks and snakes. The squirrel would fit because it’s a rodent.

Another book says eagles wait for someone else to catch food and then steal it from them. I know they will steal roadkill and work together at it, too. A friend of mine was driving toward Hayward when she saw two eagles flying away with part of a deer carcass that had been lying on the side of the road. Two eagles cooperating, that would have made a great photo! My friend promptly went home and locked in her favorite cat.

I often see an eagle circling our north field looking for prey. But that was not a usual sight a few years ago. One spring morning, I looked out my window above the sink. I thought one of the black garbage bags had blown onto the fence post. It was a strange sight with blackbirds sitting on the fence across the road.

Then, suddenly the big black thing flew into the air, and I could see it was an eagle with its white head. It was a thrill and beautiful sight as it soared above road and field. The waiting blackbirds flew to their leftover feast of roadkill, a fat opossum. I had accidently fed that opossum along with my farm cats all winter.

The comeback of the bald eagle has been a success story for the environment.

In 1962, Rachel Carson wrote “Silent Spring” telling us how the use of DDT caused eagles to lay soft-shelled eggs that could not survive. As a result, DDT was banned and more attention paid to chemicals in the environment. Now, the Fish and Wildlife Service reports more than 1,065 breeding pairs in Wisconsin.

A photo taken at Beaver Creek Reserve of the eagle, Angel, brought from the National Center

by Jerry Knabe. — Photo by Sylvia Oberle

It’s interesting to note that eagles mate for life, lay up to three eggs a year and do not get their white heads until 4 or 5 years old. Females are larger than males and can reach 14 pounds with wingspans over 6 feet. An eagle can swim a fish to shore using wings for paddles. They can fly up to 60 mph and dive at 100 mph.

The upper Mississippi is home to hundreds of bald eagles. That’s one of the reasons the National Eagle Center is located in Wabasha, Minn. Jerry Knabe, from the center, and handler of the bald eagle Angel, brought the eagle to our photo club at Beaver Creek Reserve. I had the opportunity to hear his talk and get some good photos. During the session, the eagle turned and pecked him on the forehead. Jerry said, “Angel, you never did that before.” He smiled, wiped off the blood and continued his talk. That took some courage! It shows his patience and love of the bird. And if you go to National Eagle Center on the Web, you can read Angel’s story of coming to the center. A visit to the eagle center makes a good vacation tour any time of year.

Eagles are our national emblem representing freedom, strength and beauty.

It’s truly a bird for us to respect and watch when it soars on high in the Wisconsin sky. Eagles, we are glad you’re back.

A memorial service was held Friday, Aug. 24, at Praise Christian Center, Crystal, Minn. A private interment was at Fort Snelling Cemetery.

The Washburn-McReavy Funeral Home, Columbia Heights, Minn., was entrusted with arrangements.

M.’s old work shirts in their memory. The reception and dance were held in a huge tent in an alfalfa field out behind the barn on the Mathison farm. Kyle and Sara had raised 40 chickens for the reception that the Freer friends of Amery did the grilling of. They raised the sweet corn that Gary Gramberg came and cooked for them, also the green beans, and the raspberries for some of the jam favors; they did a lot of planning for all to be ready at the right time. Karen Holzem helped Sara’s mom make the pasta salad and the baby reds came from Co. Lane Pantry. So, along with the pulled pork, cut-up fruits and the 700 mints her aunt Nancy F. made, the M&Ms (for Marschall and Mathison), and the Main Street pie squares for dessert, a great meal was served by the catering girls who did a super job.

There were 40 round tables, pink cloths with burlap table runners, fruit jars filled with garden flowers in the middle and spread-the-love jars of strawberry, peach and raspberry jam table favors. Their card box was an old antique decorated milk can and a D.J. furnished the music. My Johnnie would say, “It sure took a big crew to get them married off,” but would have been so proud of his only granddaughter.

This week we wish happy birthday to Laurie Frey, Melinda Coulter, Sherry Lyga, Tia Halverson, Jessica Irvine and Eddie Smith on Aug. 30; Jessica Halverson, Maddie West and Charlotte Ross on Aug. 31; Ron Zimmerman, Gene Kasten and Tammy Dennis on Sept. 1; Allan Sather, Kiera Fox and Jeff Smith on Sept 2; Dennis Wood, Julie McCann and Kenny Anderson on Sept. 3; Jacob Stodola, Dennis Musil, Ericka Hutton and Dan Washkuhn on Sept. 4; and Debbie Scalzo and Laurie Wilbur on Sept. 5.

M

y friend asked his date, “Do you think that you could learn to love

me?”

“That depends,” she replied, “on how much you are willing to spend on me and my education.”

Apparently she loved his money much more than she loved him.

Like that girl, there are many who look to God for what they can get. They expect him to provide for all their needs: heal their bodies, calm troubled minds, comfort broken hearts, supply all of their wants.

Our Lord said, “You want to be with me because I fed you, not because you believed in me as your savior and Lord. But you shouldn’t be so concerned about things that are perishable – the things that have no eternal value like food and clothes. Rather, spend your time and energy seeking eternal things by sharing the Gospel as good witnesses, caring for those in need and investing your time in reading my word.”

Generous donor visits lemonade stand

Elsie and Taye Bass had a profitable day at their lemonade stand. An anonymous patron slipped a $100 bill between two $1 bills when paying for his/her lemonade. They didn’t notice until later when another person buying a cup of lemonade told them they might want to take a closer look at their earnings.

The girls had fresh water and dog biscuits on hand for any “four-legged friends” that stopped by as well. Their two-day total of $162.39 was donated to the Washburn County Area Humane Society. – Photo submitted

School volunteer

Shannel Reynolds enjoys coming into school when she can to volunteer. Here she is sorting mail; the mail that will be waiting for the teachers when they return to school. She is a 2011 graduate of Shell Lake and appreciates the education she has received.
